Reforestation Of Harvested Timberlands In Mississippi: Behavior And Attitudes Of Non-Industrial, Private Forest Landowners, J. E. Gunter, Steven H. Bullard, M. L. Doolittle, K. G. Arano Jan 2001

Reforestation Of Harvested Timberlands In Mississippi: Behavior And Attitudes Of Non-Industrial, Private Forest Landowners, J. E. Gunter, Steven H. Bullard, M. L. Doolittle, K. G. Arano

Faculty Publications

Southern forests play an increasingly important role in the timber economy as per capita demand for wood continues to expand. Moreover, harvest restrictions in the Pacific Northwest in the early 1990s shifted a large portion of United States demand for softwoods to the South. In Mississippi, most of the forestland is owned by non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners. Approximately 314,000 NIPF landowners control 66 percent of the state’s forestland base (Hartsell and London 1995). The sizable acreage of timberland held by NIPF landowners nationally and in-state underscores the importance of their role in the timber economy and weighs heavily in …


Introduction To Forestry Investment Analysis: Part I. Basic Investment Characteristics And Financial Criteria, Thomas J. Straka, Steven H. Bullard, Mark R. Dubois Jan 2001

Introduction To Forestry Investment Analysis: Part I. Basic Investment Characteristics And Financial Criteria, Thomas J. Straka, Steven H. Bullard, Mark R. Dubois

Faculty Publications

Many forest landowners consider their forest to be an investment. Some of these landowners, however, and many new timberland investors, may not fully understand the basic ingredients that make up a forestry investment. Like all investments, forestry involves costs and revenues, and rates of return can be calculated. These rates of return can be compared with interest rates earned for other investments, but forest landowners should be sure to understand the unique characteristics of a forestry investment. Most of the cash flow from a forestry investment will result from timber sales. Timber sale revenue, of course, is a function of …


A Role For Actin, Cdc1p, And Myo2p In The Inheritance Of Late Golgi Elements In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Olivia W. Rossanese, Catherine A. Reinke, Brooke J. Bevis, Adam T. Hammond, Irina B. Sears, James O'Connor, Benjamin S. Glick Jan 2001

A Role For Actin, Cdc1p, And Myo2p In The Inheritance Of Late Golgi Elements In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Olivia W. Rossanese, Catherine A. Reinke, Brooke J. Bevis, Adam T. Hammond, Irina B. Sears, James O'Connor, Benjamin S. Glick

Faculty Publications

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Golgi elements are present in the bud very early in the cell cycle. We have analyzed this Golgi inheritance process using fluorescence microscopy and genetics. In rapidly growing cells, late Golgi elements show an actin-dependent concentration at sites of polarized growth. Late Golgi elements are apparently transported into the bud along actin cables and are also retained in the bud by a mechanism that may involve actin. A visual screen for mutants defective in the inheritance of late Golgi elements yielded multiple alleles of CDC1. Mutations in CDC1 severely depolarize the actin cytoskeleton, and these …


Il-1Α And Tnf-Α Down-Regulate Crh Receptor-2 Mrna Expression In The Mouse Heart, Sarah C. Coste, Kurt A. Heldwein, Susan L. Stevens, Eric Tobar-Dupres, Mary P. Stenzel-Poore Jan 2001

Il-1Α And Tnf-Α Down-Regulate Crh Receptor-2 Mrna Expression In The Mouse Heart, Sarah C. Coste, Kurt A. Heldwein, Susan L. Stevens, Eric Tobar-Dupres, Mary P. Stenzel-Poore

Faculty Publications

Two receptors (CRH receptor type 1 and CRH receptor type 2) have been identified for the stress-induced neuropeptide, CRH and related peptides, urocortin, and urocortin II. We previously found marked down-regulation of cardiac CRH receptor type 2 expression following administration of bacterial endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide, a model of systemic immune activation, and inflammation. We postulated that inflammatory cytokines may regulate CRH receptor type 2. We show that systemic IL-1α administration significantly down-regulates CRH receptor type 2 mRNA in mouse heart. In addition, TNFα treatment also reduces CRH receptor type 2 mRNA expression, although the effect was not as marked as with …


The Measurement Of Inequality, Concentration, And Diversification., Fred Foldvary Jan 2001

The Measurement Of Inequality, Concentration, And Diversification., Fred Foldvary

Faculty Publications

The Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient are typically used to measure inequality. A different way to measure inequality is introduced here: I = CN, the product of concentration and number of units. The resultant index can be interpreted with reference to an inequality base where one unit owns all and the rest nothing. This inequality index also integrates the measurement of inequality, concentration, and diversification into one system, where diversification is measured as the inverse of concentration. I = CN accommodates various measures of concentration, including the Herfindahl-Hirschman and Tideman-Hall indexes. The Tideman-Hall concentration index also provides indexes of concentration, …

The Emergence Of Jurisdictional Resequencing In The Federal Courts, Scott C. Idleman Jan 2001

The Emergence Of Jurisdictional Resequencing In The Federal Courts, Scott C. Idleman

Faculty Publications

This article addresses a 1999 Supreme Court decision holding that federal courts may address personal jurisdiction, and dismiss a lawsuit for its absence, without first or ever verifying their subject-matter jurisdiction. Examined are the genealogy, components, legitimacy, and future application of this emerging doctrine of resequencing, as well as the extent to which it accords with the Court's professedly restrained approach to federal power. Based on this examination, the article contends that the doctrine represents an unsettling departure from both precedent and jurisdictional theory and that its elements and scope are neither carefully delineated nor grounded in a coherent theory …

Envisioning A Future For Age And Disability Discrimination Claims, Alison Barnes

Faculty Publications

This Article considers the reasons for reinterpretations of age and disability and examines the fundamental reasons for changes in the implementation of both the ADA and ADEA. Part I presents the basic structure and relevant requirements of the two statutes and comments on the reasons their legislative purposes are not often seen as overlapping. Part II discusses the recent Supreme Court decisions that have undermined the purposes and implementation of both the ADA and ADEA and chilled causes of action based on the ADA and ADEA. Part III projects the current problems with anti-discrimination causes into the future, when older …

The Widening Gap Under The Internal Revenue Code: The Need For Renewed Progressivity, Vada Waters Lindsey Jan 2001

The Widening Gap Under The Internal Revenue Code: The Need For Renewed Progressivity, Vada Waters Lindsey

Faculty Publications

The United States' progressive tax system has been a part of the income tax structure since the enactment of the historic 1913 income tax act and should continue to be maintained today for several reasons. First, a change in the tax system could have adverse effects on minorities and women. Second, the tax system is based on an ability to pay concept, and it is difficult to devise a system that adheres to that principle yet satisfies revenue demands and other considerations. While there have been significant societal changes since the country adopted the progressive tax structure, these changes do …
