A Computer Simulation Of The Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau Model For Spinodal Decomposition, Rolfe G. Petschek Oct 1983

A Computer Simulation Of The Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau Model For Spinodal Decomposition, Rolfe G. Petschek

Faculty Scholarship

In this paper we discuss the results of computer simulations of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation appropriate to the spinodal decomposition of a two-component mixture with a conserved order parameter. The results for quantities of theoretical interest, such as the probability that the concentration has a particular value in a particular cell, as well as experimentally accessible quantities such as the structure function, are presented. For reasons of computer space, the simulation was done in two dimensions. The effects of incompressible flow, which might be important in some experimental situations, were not included in these calculations.


Anomalies In Chemical Equilibria Near Critical Points Of Dilute Solutions, Rolfe G. Petschek Oct 1983

Anomalies In Chemical Equilibria Near Critical Points Of Dilute Solutions, Rolfe G. Petschek

Faculty Scholarship

We show that a recent prediction that the extent of reaction of a very dilute solute near the critical point of an almost pure solvent will show strong variation with temperature at fixed volume is in error. We give arguments to show that the behavior is at most weakly singular in the sense of Griffiths and Wheeler, point out the error in the earlier argument, and show that experiments adduced as evidence for the earlier argument are subject to alternative explanation. We also consider a prediction about the behavior near the critical point of a dissociating solvent.


Interest Elements In Tax Planning, Daniel S. Goldberg Sep 1983

Interest Elements In Tax Planning, Daniel S. Goldberg

Faculty Scholarship

This article discusses how interest has been and is being used in tax planning. The tax planning techniques using interest include charging too little interest or none at all, recalssifying interest as principal and allocating interest among time periods to optimize the tax consequences to the parties. The issues raised by these tax planning techniques go to the heart of the tax system. They suggest inadequacies in the development of the case law and in conventional tax thinking. The unifying principal is the divergence between the possible tax consequences and the clear economic consequences of each of the transactions. The …


The Simulation Of Spinodal Decomposition In Two Dimensions: A Comparison Of Monte Carlo And Langevin Dynamics, Rolfe G. Petschek Aug 1983

The Simulation Of Spinodal Decomposition In Two Dimensions: A Comparison Of Monte Carlo And Langevin Dynamics, Rolfe G. Petschek

Faculty Scholarship

Langevin dynamics and Monte Carlo methods have recently been developed for the simulation of spinodal decomposition. In this paper we show, using the central limit theorem, that the Monte Carlo method (in the limit of small step sizes) is equivalent to Langevin dynamics (in the high friction limit). In this limit an exact relationship is established between the number of trials in a Monte Carlo simulation and Langevin dynamics time. The relationship between the Monte Carlo and Langevin dynamics methods is demonstrated for practical simulations and the effects of deviations from the small step size limit in the Monte Carlo …


An Economic Analysis Of Royalty Terms In Patent Licenses, Michael J. Meurer Jul 1983

An Economic Analysis Of Royalty Terms In Patent Licenses, Michael J. Meurer

Faculty Scholarship

Efficient exploitation of a patent often requires patentees to license users of their inventions. The courts, on the other hand, have proscribed many forms of license agreements and discouraged patent licensing in general, thereby diminishing the efficacy of the patent system as a stimulus to R & D. This negative attitude is attributable to fears that licensing will be used to protect invalid patents and secure illegitimate extensions of monopoly power. Part I of this Note reviews judicial treatment of certain royalty terms in patent licenses, describing the restraints the courts have imposed on the freedom of patentees to license …


Bicriticality In The Polymerization Of Chains And Rings, Rolfe G. Petschek May 1983

Bicriticality In The Polymerization Of Chains And Rings, Rolfe G. Petschek

Faculty Scholarship

The equilibrium polymerization of chains and rings can be viewed as a bicritical point in a suitably augmented parameter space. The polymerization of chains in equilibrium with rings is described by the cross-over exponent, φ, for quadratic anisotropy in the O(n) vector model with n→1. While the total mass fraction of polymerized material is described by the Ising exponent α, the mass fraction of chains separately (and therefore also of rings) is described by the exponent αc=φ-1+α.


Apartheid Baltimore Style: The Residential Segregation Ordinances Of 1910-1913, Garrett Power May 1983

Apartheid Baltimore Style: The Residential Segregation Ordinances Of 1910-1913, Garrett Power

Faculty Scholarship

On May 15, 1911, Baltimore Mayor J. Barry Mahool signed into law an ordinance for “preserving the peace, preventing conflict and ill feeling between the white and colored races in Baltimore City.” This ordinance provided for the use of separate blocks by African American and whites and was the first such law in the nation directly aimed at segregating black and white homeowners. This article considers the historical significance of Baltimore’s first housing segregation law.


Fiduciary Law, Tamar Frankel May 1983

Fiduciary Law, Tamar Frankel

Faculty Scholarship

In the business realm, the fiduciary duties of partners, corporate directors, and officers originated with the formation of partnerships and corporations, but majority shareholders were not subjected to fiduciary duties until this century. ... As in a status relation, one party to a fiduciary relation (the entrustor) is dependent on the other (the fiduciary). ... For example, a trust is defined as a fiduciary relation in which property is transferred to the trustee. ... A trustee is chosen by the trustor, and must be able to manage the trust assets independently of the beneficiary's control. ... It further shows that …


Modern Unilateral Contracts, Mark Pettit May 1983

Modern Unilateral Contracts, Mark Pettit

Faculty Scholarship

Why would anyone write about unilateral contracts today? After all, Karl Llewellyn argued convincingly more than forty years ago' that unilateral contracts are rare and unimportant and should be relegated to the "freak tent. ' 2 Academics, he said, created the "Great Dichotomy" between unilateral and bilateral contracts; lack of support for the unilateral contract idea in the cases required those academics to illustrate the concept with ridiculous hypotheticals about climbing greased flagpoles and crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. The drafters of the Second Restatement of Contracts thus considered it a step forward when they not only minimized the importance of …

Elimination Of Automatic Judgment Liens In Missouri, William H. Henning Apr 1983

Elimination Of Automatic Judgment Liens In Missouri, William H. Henning

Faculty Scholarship

The traditional automatic judgment lien on real property following rendition of a money judgment has been statutorily eliminated. Judgment liens are now dependent upon the filing of an abstract of the judgment by the court clerk, but the implementing legislation contains ambiguities that raise issues regarding the scope of such liens.

A Constitutional Analysis Of Ohio's New Drunk Driving Law, Donald G. Gifford, Howard M. Friedman Jan 1983

A Constitutional Analysis Of Ohio's New Drunk Driving Law, Donald G. Gifford, Howard M. Friedman

Faculty Scholarship

Ohio's recently revised DUI law faces a wide variety of challenges on constitutional grounds. Professors Gifford and Friedman describe these constitutional arguments and evaluate their merit by considering both broader constitutional principles and persuasive precedents in jurisdictions with similar statutes. In addition to their analysis of the statute's constitutionality, Professors Gifford and Friedman explore other constitutional issues likely to arise from the enforcement of the statute including ones concerning the implied consent provision, breath tests and the use of motions in limine by defendants in drunk driving prosecutions.

Institutional Review Of Medical Research: Cost-Benefit Analysis, Risk-Benefit Analysis, And The Possible Effects Of Research On Public Policy, Robert L. Schwartz Jan 1983

Institutional Review Of Medical Research: Cost-Benefit Analysis, Risk-Benefit Analysis, And The Possible Effects Of Research On Public Policy, Robert L. Schwartz

Faculty Scholarship

It is reasonable to expect IRBs to develop and apply policy as other public policy agencies do. In fact, the risk-benefit analysis now required of IRBs appears to be analogous to the cost-benefit analysis adopted by public policy analysts. But, as we shall see, the new risk-benefit criterion is far less comprehensive and valid than the traditional cost-benefit model.

Current Issues In Tender Offer Regulation: Lessons From The British, Deborah A. Demott Jan 1983

Current Issues In Tender Offer Regulation: Lessons From The British, Deborah A. Demott

Faculty Scholarship

The recent submission to Congress of several proposed amendments to the Williams Act has again made tender offer regulation a controversial subject. Professor DeMott believes that the debate about regulatory reform can benefit from a comparative study of Britih and American tender offer rcgulation. She finds the British system instructive in three important respects. First, the British system specifically indentifies different kinds of transactions that resemble tender offers and regulates those transactions according to the hazards they create for investors. Unlike the American system, which imposes a single set of highly complex regulations only if a transaction qualifies as a …
