Protecting Waste Assimilation Streamflows By The Law Of Water Allocation, Nuisance, And Public Trust, And By Environmental Statutes, Peter N. Davis Jan 1988

Protecting Waste Assimilation Streamflows By The Law Of Water Allocation, Nuisance, And Public Trust, And By Environmental Statutes, Peter N. Davis

Faculty Publications

Both federal and state water pollution control statutes require dramatic reductions in waste discharges, but not their total elimination. Those statutes require establishing water quality standards for receiving waters and presume that they will be adequate to assimilate the residual post treatment wastes. But nothing is those statutes assures that minimum flows for waste assimilation in fact will remain in existence. Neither the common law nor eastern and western diversion permit statutes expressly provide direct means for establishing such minimum protected flows for residual waste assimilation. Those means include establishing minimum flows for fish and wildlife habitat and recreation purposes …

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.

Role Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer In Representing The Mentally Impaired Defendant: Zealous Advocate Or Officer Of The Court, Rodney J. Uphoff Jan 1988

Role Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer In Representing The Mentally Impaired Defendant: Zealous Advocate Or Officer Of The Court, Rodney J. Uphoff

Faculty Publications

This article examines a difficult question in the representation of mentally impaired criminal defendants: should counsel be obligated to inform the court of doubts about a client's competency to stand trial even though doing so may be contrary to the client's wishes or best interests? Professor Rodney J. Uphoff analyzes authorities that impose such an obligation on defense lawyers, including an American Bar Association Criminal Justice Standard and a recent decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, State v. Johnson. Uphoff concludes that these authorities needlessly undercut the mentally impaired defendant's right to zealous representation. He proposes an alternative ethical model …

Thermal Properties Of A Series Of Side-Chain Liquid Crystalline Poly(Methacrylates)., R. Duran, D. Guillon, Ph Gramain, A. Skoulios Jan 1988

Thermal Properties Of A Series Of Side-Chain Liquid Crystalline Poly(Methacrylates)., R. Duran, D. Guillon, Ph Gramain, A. Skoulios

Faculty Publications

The thermal behavior of a series of side-chain liquid crystalline poly(methacrylates) has been investigated by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and dilatometry. The DSC study has shown that long times are required to reach equilibrium even at temperatures above the glass transition. The thermotropic polymorphism has been determined as a function of the length of the flexible spacer. Glass transitions in the mesomorphic state have been discussed. Dilatometry has shown that, for the 'glassy' mesomorphic phases, the partial specific volume of the flexible spacer is close to that corresponding to the crystal and the isotropic liquid; and that, …

Landau-Level Width: Magnetic-Field And Temperature Dependences, Lipo Wang, R. F. Oconnell Jan 1988

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 Jan 1988

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 …

Psychology Among The Saints: The Development Of Behavioral Science At Brigham Young University, Bruce L. Brown, Mark K. Allen Jan 1988

Psychology Among The Saints: The Development Of Behavioral Science At Brigham Young University, Bruce L. Brown, Mark K. Allen

Faculty Publications

There was a strong interest in psychology at Brigham Young University at the turn of the century; the third president was a psychologist and a number of distinguished psychologists regularly visited the campus. An outstanding young scholar who was destined to become the only Mormon president of the American Psychological Association started a vigorous academic psychology program in those early years, but he left the university because of a controversy over his teachings. Psychology at Brigham Young University developed little from that time until the 1940s. The 1950s were a time of rapid growth and development, expansion of the faculty, …


Nonlocal Symmetries And Backlund Transformations For The Self-Dual Yang-Mills System, C. J. Papachristou, Kent B. Harrison Jan 1988

Nonlocal Symmetries And Backlund Transformations For The Self-Dual Yang-Mills System, C. J. Papachristou, Kent B. Harrison

Faculty Publications

The observation is made that generalized evolutionary isovectors of the self-dual Yang–Mills equation, obtained by "verticalization'' of the geometrical isovectors derived in a previous paper [J. Math. Phys. 28, 1261 (1987)], generate Bäcklund transformations for the self-dual system. In particular, new Bäcklund transformations are obtained by "verticalizing'' the generators of point transformations on the solution manifold. A geometric ansatz for the derivation of such (generally nonlocal) symmetries is proposed.

Interpolation Of Besov-Spaces, Ronald A. Devore, Vasil A. Popova Jan 1988

Interpolation Of Besov-Spaces, Ronald A. Devore, Vasil A. Popova

Faculty Publications

We investigate Besov spaces and their connection with dyadic spline approximation in Lp(Omega), 0 < p (less than or equal to) infinity. Our main results are: the determination of the interpolation spaces between a pair of Besov spaces; an atomic decomposition for functions in a Besov space; the characterization of the class of functions which have certain prescribed degree of approximation by dyadic splines.

Electrochemical Production And Corrosion Testing Of Amorphous Ni-P, Jose L. Carbajal, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

Electrochemical Production And Corrosion Testing Of Amorphous Ni-P, Jose L. Carbajal, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Ni-P alloys were prepared by electrodeposition under different conditions on a rotating disk electrode. A variety of alloys were prepared ranging from Ni-15P to Ni-25P. An indirect reduction of species in solution involving several steps appears to be favored over the direct reduction at the electrode based on the low P content in the alloy. Energy dispersion x-ray microanalysis was used to determine composition of the alloy. Transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction corroborated the amorphous nature of the structure. The physical and chemical homogeneity of the metallic glasses produced electrochemically is substantiated by the absence of electrochemical localized attack. …

A Two-Dimensional Mathematical Model Of A Porous Lead Dioxide Electrode In A Lead-Acid Cell, E. C. Dimpault-Darcy, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

A Two-Dimensional Mathematical Model Of A Porous Lead Dioxide Electrode In A Lead-Acid Cell, E. C. Dimpault-Darcy, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A two-dimensional mathematical model is presented for a lead dioxide electrode in a lead-acid cell. It is used to simulate the time dependent behavior of the electrode during discharge. The model contains six dependent variables: the concentration of the acid electrolyte, the porosity, the electrical potentials of the solid and solution phases, and the two directional components of the current density in the electrolyte. The effect of the electrode grid was included by varying the conductivity of the solid. Parameters such as electrode conductivity, electrode dimensions, and temperature are investigated to understand their effects on electrode discharge performance.
