Prevention And Health Economics, Harold H. Gardner

Faculty Publications

The relationship between doctors and patients in the medical and health field is a topic of recurrent discussion today. The topic is of immense interest because of the questions raised about value received for services purchased and because of the large amount of economic resource consumed. The size of the stakes are such that the debate will grow in the near future until some solution is found to remedy the value and cost for service dilemma.

Comparison Of Effective Medium Procedures For Optical Modeling Of Laminar Structures, David D. Allred, Robert F. Edgerton

Faculty Publications

This study addresses the question, "How can the optical properties of matter in ultrathin amorphous nonmetallic films in multilayers best be determined from reflectance (R) and transmission (T) measurements?" A blue shift in the band gap of plasma CVD a-Si:H/a-SiNx:H multilayers was reported several years ago. It was suggested that the shift in the band gap, Eg, Relative to bulk a-Si:H as given by the Tauç plot was due to quantum confinement effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of various effective media theories (EMT) for determining the optical constants of materials in a multilayer and …

1987 Survey Of Trends And Developments On Religious Liberty In The Courts, Carl H. Esbeck

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this survey is to note important caselaw developments in the state and lower federal courts concerning religious liberty. Purposely omitted are the widely reported United States Supreme Court opinions, as well as cases where the Court has granted review during the 1987-88 term. The focus here is to collect significant cases that may otherwise escape broad attention. Only the facts and rationale of each court's decision is recorded. No editorial comment on the merits of these cases is intended.

Enforcement Of Acceleration Provisions And The Rhetoric Of Good Faith, R. Wilson Freyermuth

Faculty Publications

Today, virtually all mortgages contain acceleration clauses permitting the mortgagee to accelerate the mortgage indebtedness upon default by the mortgagor as defined in the mortgage loan documentation. Section 8.1 of the new Restatement (Third) of Property: Mortgages [hereinafter Mortgages Restatement]1 endorses the view that these mortgage acceleration provisions are generally enforceable after default in accordance with their terms. Following default and acceleration, the mortgagor may prevent foreclosure only by redeeming the property from the mortgage debt, i.e., “only by paying or tendering to the mortgagee the full accelerated mortgage obligation.” Section 8.1(d)(3), however, places certain constraints upon the mortgagee's right …

Dehalogenation In Marine Sediments Containing Natural Sources Of Halophenols., G. M. King

Faculty Publications

Halophenols such as 2,4-dibromophenol (DBP) occur naturally in some marine sediments, as a consequence of various animal and algal activities. In an earlier study, DBP was observed in the burrow microenvironment of the hemichordate Saccoglossus kowalewskii. At the concentrations found in the burrow lining, aerobic respiration appeared to be inhibited significantly relative to anaerobic catabolism. This effect, as well as factors contributing to the degradation of DBP, has been documented further here. Results from the addition of radiolabeled DBP to oxic and anoxic sediment slurries and growth experiments with aerobic and anaerobic enrichments suggested that aerobes did not significantly metabolize …

Determination Of The Range In Binding-Site Densities Of Rat Skin Heparin Chains With High Binding Affinities For Antithrombin., A. A. Horner, M. Kusche, U. Lindahl, C. B. Peterson

Faculty Publications

Rat skin heparin proteoglycans vary markedly in the proportions of their constituent polysaccharide chains that have high binding affinity for antithrombin. As the proportion of such chains in a proteoglycan rises, their degree of affinity for antithrombin also increases [Horner (1987) Biochem. J. 244, 693-698]. The antithrombin-binding-site densities of such chains have now been determined, by measuring heparin-induced enhancement of the intrinsic fluorescence of antithrombin and by chemical analysis for the disaccharide sequence glucuronosyl-N-sulphoglucosaminyl (3,6-di-O-sulphate), which is unique to this site in heparin [Lindahl, Bäckström, Thunberg & Leder (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 6551-6555]. Antithrombin-binding-site density ranged from …

Landau-Level Width: Magnetic-Field And Temperature Dependences, Lipo Wang, R. F. Oconnell

Faculty Publications

We calculate the effect of level broadening on the steady part of the magnetic moment and specific heat by deriving an analytic expression for the free energy of a two-dimensional electron gas in a uniform magnetic field, with an arbitrary Landau-level broadening and at a finite temperature. Measurements of these effects may provide a new way for gaining more information about the magnetic-field and temperature dependences of the Landau-level width. This in turn may lead to information about the density of states. In the particular case of Gaussian broadening, the broadening correction to the steady magnetic moment is as large …

Protein Solubility, In Vitro Ammonia Concentration, And In Situ Disappearance Of Extruded Whole Cottonseed And Other Protein Sources, J. A. Stutts, W. A. Nipper, R. W. Adkinson, J. E. Chandler, A. S. Achacoso

Faculty Publications

Whole cottonseed extruded at temperatures (°C) and rates (kg/h) of 131, 314; 135, 182; 146, 195; and 156, 286 was evaluated by protein solubility, in vitro ammonia concentration, and in situ disappearance techniques. These techniques were used to estimate potential of extruded whole cottonseed for protein escape from the rumen. In addition, raw whole cottonseed, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, and whole cottonseed and soybean meal heated for 4 h at 127, 138, and 149°C were used for comparison. Solubility was by three methods: cold water mixed for 30 min, cold water homogenized for 5 s, and hot water refluxed …

Explaining Policy Failure: Japan And The International Economy, 1969-1971, Robert C. Angel

Faculty Publications

This paper examines the determinants of Japan's most serious postwar blunder: failure to define and implement effective and timely countermeasures to deal with its change from deficit to surplus international monetary status during the 1969-1971 period. It concludes that intense bureaucratic compartmentalization and a lack of supra-ministerial leadership of national policy were key determinants of this failure, leaving Japan's political system dependent upon irresistible external pressure (gai-atsu), in this case from the United States, to define and force implementation of necessary policy changes. This critical but largely ignored episode illustrates a negative aspect of the traditional insulation of Japan's national …

A Radical Intent, Michael A. Simons

Faculty Publications

(Excerpt)

Much of the recent debate regarding constitutional interpretation has focused on the relevance of the Framers' intent. Attorney General Edwin Meese III has urged judges to "resurrect the original meaning of constitutional provisions." In contrast, Justice William Brennan has argued that courts should adapt the Constitution to "cope with current problems and current needs." A key disagreement involves whether the Bill of Rights protects citizens against state as well as federal government abuses. Some scholars have called for a rollback of Supreme Court decisions that incorporate provisions of the Bill of Rights in the fourteenth amendment, arguing that these …
