What Military Criminal Law Can Teach Us: A United States Perspective, Donald N. Zillman Jan 1993

What Military Criminal Law Can Teach Us: A United States Perspective, Donald N. Zillman

Faculty Publications

A quarter century ago, any comparative criminal law in the United States tended to treat the federal criminal justice system as the model for other systems (state, military, Indian tribal). The fifty state systems handled the vast majority of criminal cases. They were reforming both their adherence to federal constitutional protections for the accused and their administrative organization. Criminal justice had become a large volume business and old "horse and buggy'' practices could not keep up with the workload.

Child Care Enterprise, Community Development, And Work, Peter R. Pitegoff Jan 1993

Child Care Enterprise, Community Development, And Work, Peter R. Pitegoff

Faculty Publications

Child care enterprise can be a vehicle for community-based economic development. Beyond the critical goal of child care service, day care as an enterprise can help build capacity for job creation and entrepreneurship in the inner city and in disadvantaged communities. Stable child care institutions with quality jobs can sound a counterpoint to the feminization of poverty. The demand for child care services is substantial and growing. In single parent families and in households with two working parents, day care is essential to enable parents to work or go to school. Further, high quality early childhood programs can have a …

The energy spectrum of galactic cosmic ray Helium was measured in two different balloon experiments launched four days apart from Canada: SMILI‐I on 1‐Sept‐1989 and MASS on 5‐Sept‐1989. A slow Forbush decrease began on 4‐Sept‐1989 and had not reached its maximum at the time of the MASS flight. Comparison of the balloon measurements shows a fractional decrease of 0.37 to 0.15 in the Helium flux between 200 and 450 MeV/nucleon (1.2–2.0 GV). The rigidity dependence is analyzed in two models and found to be steeper than previous observations. Interplanetary particle data and ground‐based Neutron Monitor results are consistent with the …

A New Luminous Blue Variable: R143 In 30 Doradus, Joel W.M. Parker, Geoffrey C. Clayton, Cláudia Winge, Peter S. Conti Jan 1993

A New Luminous Blue Variable: R143 In 30 Doradus, Joel W.M. Parker, Geoffrey C. Clayton, Cláudia Winge, Peter S. Conti

Faculty Publications

We have discovered that R143 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a luminous blue variable (LBV), the first and perhaps the lone LBV in the central cluster of 30 Doradus, and only the sixth known LMC LBV. Photometric and spectroscopic observations over the past 40 yr indicate that during that time R143 moved redward (changing from an F5 to F8 supergiant), then blueward (possibly becoming as early as O9.5), and is now moving back to the red (currently appearing as a late B supergiant). Similarly, the V magnitude of the star has changed by at least 1.4 mag. Images of …

Localization And Nucleotide Sequences Of Genes Mediating Site-Specific Recombination Of The Slp1 Element In Streptomyces Lividans, M. A. Brasch, G. S. Pettis, S. C. Lee, S. N. Cohen Jan 1993

Localization And Nucleotide Sequences Of Genes Mediating Site-Specific Recombination Of The Slp1 Element In Streptomyces Lividans, M. A. Brasch, G. S. Pettis, S. C. Lee, S. N. Cohen

Faculty Publications

SLP1 is a 17.2-kbp genetic element indigenous to the Streptomyces coelicolor chromosome. During conjugation, SLP1 can undergo excision and subsequent site-specific integration into the chromosomes of recipient cells. We report here the localization, nucleotide sequences, and initial characterization of the genes mediating these recombination events. A region of SLP1 adjacent to the previously identified site of integration, attP, was found to be sufficient to promote site-specific integration of an unrelated Streptomyces plasmid. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a 2.2-kb segment of this region reveals two open reading frames that are adjacent to and transcribed toward the attP site. One of these, …

Unconventional Charge Gap Formation In Fesi, Z. Schlesinger, Z. Fisk, Hai Tao Zhang, M. B. Maple, J. Ditusa, G. Aeppli Jan 1993

Unconventional Charge Gap Formation In Fesi, Z. Schlesinger, Z. Fisk, Hai Tao Zhang, M. B. Maple, J. Ditusa, G. Aeppli

Faculty Publications

We report the first infrared and optical measurements of the absolute conductivity of FeSi. Above 200 K the ac conductivity of FeSi resembles that of a dirty metal, while at low temperature most of the conductivity below 60 meV is depleted, consistent with an energy gap of that magnitude. Thus in contrast to what is expected from a picture based on simple thermal activation, the gap disappears at a temperature which is low relative to its size. Moreover, the spectral weight lost below the gap does not reappear just above the gap, but is instead distributed over an energy range …

Projection Solutions Of Frobenius-Perron Operator Equations, Jiu Ding, Tien Tien Li Jan 1993

Projection Solutions Of Frobenius-Perron Operator Equations, Jiu Ding, Tien Tien Li

Faculty Publications

We construct in this paper the first order and second order piecewise polynomial finite approximation schemes for the computation of invariant measures of a class of nonsingular measurable transformations on the unit interval of the real axis. These schemes are based on the Galerkin’s projection method for L1-spaces and are proved to be convergent for the class of Frobenius-Perron operators.

Developmental Appropriateness Of Kindergarten Programs And Academic Outcomes In First Grade, Diane C. Burts, Craig H. Hart, Rosalind Charlesworth, Michele Dewolf, Jeanette Ray, Karen Manuel, Pamela O. Fleege

Faculty Publications

This study explored the relationship between the developmental appropriateness of kindergarten classroom instruction and first-grade report card grade overall averages and average in reading, language, spelling, math, science, and social studies. the interactive roles that gender, SES, and kindergarten classroom type play in children's later achievement were also examined. The sample consisted of 166 first-grade children who had attended kindergarten classrooms with teaching practices identified as predominately developmentally appropriate or developmentally inappropriate. Findings indicated that first-graders from more appropriate kindergarten classrooms had higher reading averages than children from less appropriate kindergarten classrooms. Females had higher overall and subject area averages …

Transition Probabilities For The 3s23p(2PO)–3s3p2(4P) Intersystem Lines Of Si Ii, Anthony G. Calamai, Peter L. Smith, Scott D. Bergeson Jan 1993

Transition Probabilities For The 3s23p(2PO)–3s3p2(4P) Intersystem Lines Of Si Ii, Anthony G. Calamai, Peter L. Smith, Scott D. Bergeson

Faculty Publications

Intensity ratios of lines of the spin-changing "intersystem" multiplet of Si II (4P → 2Po) at 234 nm have been used to determine electron densities and temperatures in a variety of astrophysical environments. However, the accuracy of these diagnostic calculations have been limited by uncertainties associated with the available atomic data. We report the first laboratory measurement, using an ion-trapping technique, of the radiative lifetimes of the three metastable levels of the 3s3p2 4P term of Si II. Our results are 104 ± 16, 406 ± 33, and 811 ± 77 µs for …

Plasma Total Glutathione In Humans And Its Association With Demographic And Health-Related Factors, Elaine W. Flagg, Ralph J. Coates, J. William Eley, Raymond S. Greenberg, Dean P. P. Jones, Elaine W. Gunter, Bethany Jackson Jan 1993

Plasma Total Glutathione In Humans And Its Association With Demographic And Health-Related Factors, Elaine W. Flagg, Ralph J. Coates, J. William Eley, Raymond S. Greenberg, Dean P. P. Jones, Elaine W. Gunter, Bethany Jackson

Faculty Publications

The tripeptide glutathione is proposed to be protective against a number of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancer. However, there have been few studies of plasma glutathione levels in humans and in those studies the numbers of participants have been very small. In an exploratory analysis the determinants of plasma total glutathione (GSHt) were investigated in a group of 100 volunteers aged 18–61 years in Atlanta, Georgia, USA during June and July 1989. Data on demographic and health-related factors were collected by interview and plasma GSHt was measured using a recently modified laboratory method. The mean concentration of plasma …

A Note On Intertwines Of Infinite Graphs, Bogdan Oporowski Jan 1993

A Note On Intertwines Of Infinite Graphs, Bogdan Oporowski

Faculty Publications

We present a construction of two infinite graphs G1, G2 and of an infinite set F of graphs such that F is an antichain with respect to the minor relation and, for every graph G in F, both G1 and G2 are subgraphs of G but no graph obtained from G by deletion or contraction of an edge has both G1 and G2 as minors. These graphs show that the extension to infinite graphs of the intertwining conjecture of Lovász, Milgram, and Ungar fails. © 1993 Academic Press, Inc.

Freedom Of Speech For Libraries And Librarians, Rodney A. Smolla

Faculty Publications

Noting the recent bicentennial of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Professor Smolla considers the role of librarians in opposing censorship. He proposes a new principle of "professionalism" to establish the librarian's role, and discusses the principle in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Board of Education v. Pico.

Mathematical Modeling Of The Formation Of Calcareous Deposits On Cathodically Protected Steel In Seawater, J. F. Yan, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White, R. B. Griffin Jan 1993

Mathematical Modeling Of The Formation Of Calcareous Deposits On Cathodically Protected Steel In Seawater, J. F. Yan, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White, R. B. Griffin

Faculty Publications

A first principle mathematical model of the formation of calcareous deposits on a cathodically protected steel rotatingdisk electrode in seawater is presented. The model includes equations which transport phenomena, electrochemical reactions,precipitation reactions, and a homogeneous reaction involved in the formation of calcareous deposits on an electrodesurface. Predicted concentration profiles show that a high concentration of OH– ions on the electrode surface leads to the formation of calcareous deposits. The calcareous deposits contain mostly CaCO3, but the initial deposits are predicted to contain more Mg(OH)2 than CaCO3. The predicted calcareous deposits on the electrode surface …

Parametric Studies Of The Formation Of Calcareous Deposits On Cathodically Protected Steel In Seawater, J. F. Yan, Ralph E. White, R. B. Griffin

Faculty Publications

A first principle mathematical model has been used to study the effects of ocean environment and cathodic protection on the formation of calcareous deposits and their ability to reduce the cathodic current density. These parameters include applied potential, rotation speed, temperature, salinity, and depth. The results showed the applied potential strongly influences the formation of calcareous deposits and their ability to reduce the cathodic current density. Among the environmental factors, rotation speed has the most influence on the cathodic current density. Salinity slightly influences the cathodic current density over the range of interest. Temperature is much more influential than salinity …

A Water And Heat Management Model For Proton-Exchange-Membrane Fuel Cells, Trung V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White Jan 1993

A Water And Heat Management Model For Proton-Exchange-Membrane Fuel Cells, Trung V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Proper water and heat management are essential for obtaining high-power-density performance at high energy efficiency for proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells. A water and heat management model was developed and used to investigate the effectiveness of various humidification designs. The model accounts for water transport across the membrane by electro-osmosis and diffusion, heat transfer from the solid phase to the gas phase and latent heat associated with water evaporation and condensation in the flow channels. Results from the model showed that at high current densities (> 1 A/cm2) ohmic loss in the membrane accounts for a large fraction of the …

Dna Replication In Chloroplasts, Sabine Heinhorst, Gordon C. Cannon Jan 1993

Dna Replication In Chloroplasts, Sabine Heinhorst, Gordon C. Cannon

Faculty Publications

Chloroplasts contain multiple copies of a DNA molecule (the plastome) that encodes many of the gene products required to perform photosynthesis. The plastome is replicated by nuclear-encoded proteins and its copy number seems to be highly regulated by the cell in a tissue-specific and developmental manner. Our understanding of the biochemical mechanism by which the plastome is replicated and the molecular basis for its regulation is limited. In this commentary we review our present understanding of chloroplast DNA replication and examine current efforts to elucidate its mechanism at a molecular level.
