Transferring North Carolina Real Estate Part Ii--Roles, Ethics, And Reform, Dale A. Whitman

Faculty Publications

As we have seen in Part I of this article, prevailing practices in the transfer of North Carolina real estate are seriously deficient in their substantive protection of the buyer. Part II will explore whether these practices also violate the norms of professional conduct and will conclude with some proposals which should ameliorate both the substantive and ethical deficiencies which face the real estate buyer. Before doing so, however, it seems appropriate to discuss in some detail the roles of various actors in the typical transaction and the types of persons who fill those roles.

Defending The Low-Income Tenant In North Carolina, Dale A. Whitman

Faculty Publications

The low-income tenant is in a uniquely precarious position under the law. He typically holds under an oral lease, often on an implied periodic tenancy from week to week. Even where a written lease is executed, it is almost invariably on a form prepared by the landlord. The tenant has little bargaining power in today's urban housing markets; moreover, he is usually not represented by counsel and is unable to intelligently exert whatever bargaining power he may possess. The land- lord is generally a professional in the renting business, and knows well how to manipulate the legal rules for his …

Su(4) ⊃ Su(2) ⊗ Su(2) Projection Techniques, J. P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

The twofold multiplicity problem associated with the Wigner supermultiplet reduction SU(4) ⊃ SU(2) ⊗ SU(2) is resolved by spin-isospin projection techniques analogous to the angular momentum projection technique introduced by Elliott to resolve the SU(3) ⊃ R(3) multiplicity problem. The projection quantum numbers, which furnish either an integer or half-integer characterization of the multiplicity, are assigned according to an (sT)-multiplicity formula derived from a consideration of the symmetry properties of spin-isospin degeneracy diagrams. An expression is obtained for the coefficients which relate the SU(4) ⊃ SU(2) ⊗ SU(2) projected basis states to states labeled according to the natural U(4) ⊃ …

The Geomorphology Of The Glacial Valley Cross Section, William L. Graf

Faculty Publications

Several alpine valley systems in the southeastern Beartooth Mountains, Montana and Wyoming, have been examined using techniques similar to methods of stream system analysis. The general equation y = a x**b is the most adequate mathematical model for the cross valley profile; b values range between 1.5 and 2.0, indicating a parabolic form. As intensity of erosion increases in the glacial valley system, the b value also increases, indicating relatively deeper and narrower valley cross sections. The law of stream numbers, the law of stream lengths, and the bifurcation ratio, derived from fluvial geomorphology, are also applicable in glacial geomorphology.

Practice And Pleading (15th Annual Survey Of Virginia Law), W. Taylor Reveley Iii

Faculty Publications

After quickly outlining recent, legislation in the field of practice and pleading, this Article proceeds to a more detailed treatment of pertinent judicial developments. Several of the Supreme Court of Appeals' decisions merit close attention, principally Rakes v. Fulcher and Sullivan v. Little Hunting' Park, Inc. Recurrent in the discussion of the judicial opinions is concern not only with the announced law, but also with the manner of the announcement-concern, that is, with both the legal results and the legal craftsmanship. Organizationally, an attempt has been made to discuss the judicial material at the time of its "moment of truth" …

Electrochemical Reduction Of Chromate In The Presence Of Nickel Chloride In Molten Lithium Chloride-Potassium Chloride Eutectic, Branko N. Popov, H. A. Laitinen

Faculty Publications

Chronopotentiometry of chromate in the presence of NiCl₂ in molten LiCl-KCl eutectic reveals a diffusion controlled, three electron reduction step. In the presence of excess NiCl₂, chromate is reduced at −0.35V vs. Pt(II)/Pt reference electrode and the electroactive species responsible for the chrono-potentiometric wave is estimated to have a diffusion coefficient of 1.06 · 10⁻⁵ cm² sec⁻¹ at 450°C. The stoichiometry of the reduction product depends mainly on the temperature at which the deposit is formed. At 500°C the deposit approaches the composition LiNi₂CrO₄. X-ray powder diffraction shows the deposit …

Quasilattice Interpretation Of The Thermodynamic Properties Of Mixing Of Binary Alkali-Metal Systems, J. Bevan Ott, J. Rex Goates

Faculty Publications

Quasilattice theory was applied to heats of mixing in the six systems formed from the binary combinations of Na, K, Rb, and Cs. The alkali-metal systems are particularly well suited for a critical test of the quasi-crystalline assumption since the theoretical model for these systems is relatively simple and the thermodynamic data are fairly complex. Very good fits of the heat-of-mixing data were achieved by assuming that the larger atom in the binary system covered multiple sites on the quasilattice. The values of the empirically determined constants appear to fit the physical significance accorded to them by the quasilattice model. …

Survey Of Recent Developments In The North Carolina Law Of Eminent Domain, Dale A. Whitman

Faculty Publications

The recent opinions of the North Carolina appellate courts include a strikingly large proportion of eminent-domain cases. Two factors combine to explain the unusual frequency with which these cares are tried and appealed. The first is the elaborate activity of the federal government in funding local and state projects involving the acquisition of land. The Interstate Highway program probably accounts for the predominant portion of this activity, with other shares attributable to urban renewal, public housing, and airport improvement. When the more traditional activities of local government, such as street-widening and other public improvements, are added to the above list …

The Changing Meaning Of The Transi Tomb In Fifteenth And Sixteenth Century Europe, Kathleen Rogers Cohen

Faculty Publications

Introduction

Traditionally, medieval tomb imagery was concerned with the expression of hope for the salvation of the deceased. Tomb figures of the 13th and 14th centuries in Northern Europe portrayed the deceased in a state of ideal beauty. The hands were folded in prayer, the eyes open, and the face calm, expressing confidence in God's mercy and in salvation...

In the last years of the 14th century, a new and strikingly different type of sepulchral monument, the transi tomb, appeared in several places in Northern Europe. On these tombs the traditional idealized portrayal of the deceased was replaced by a …

Foreign Studies: Teacher's Guide, James Hantula

Faculty Publications

Foreign Studies; an elective course for junior and senior students; is a study of selected Asian cultures; including the nations of China; Japan; and India; and of African cultures; including the nations of Nigeria; Ethiopia; and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Asia and Africa are studied from the American cultural viewpoint with emphasis upon the three concepts of culture; ideology; and the comparison of traditional and modern society. This teacher's guide is divided into four main sections. 1) An outline of content is presented from which many generalizations are developed. These generalizations provide the framework for the development of …

New Solutions Of The Einstein-Maxwell Equations From Old, B. Kent Harrison

Faculty Publications

Methods are discussed with which one may derive theorems which allow one to generate new solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations from old ones. The old solutions used to generate new ones must admit at least one nonnull Killing vector and may be required to satisfy other conditions, depending on the theorem derived. Examples of derivable theorems are shown; these theorems are used in turn to show how generation of new solutions is accomplished. Examples of the latter are shown, such as generation of Brill or electrified NUT space from the Schwarzschild solution, generation of a new twisted Melvin universe from …

Actomyosin-Like Protein Isolated From Mammalian Brain, Donald Dudley Clarke Phd, S. Berl, S. Puszkin, Elena Puszkin

Faculty Publications

A protein with characteristics similar to actomyosin has been isolated from whole brain of rat and cat. It is soluble in 0.6 molar potassium chloride and insoluble in 0.1 molar potassium chloride. It superprecipitates with magnesium ions and adenosine triphosphate. It has adenosine triphosphatase activity stimulated by either magnesium or calcium ions. Both superprecipitation and adenosine triphosphatase activity are inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and Mersalyl but not by ouabain.
