The Spirit Of 76: Does President Clinton's Roadless Lands Directive Violate The Spirit Of The National Forest Management Act Of 1976?, Jennifer Sullivan Jan 2000

The Spirit Of 76: Does President Clinton's Roadless Lands Directive Violate The Spirit Of The National Forest Management Act Of 1976?, Jennifer Sullivan

Publications

This Article explores the competing resource protection and production interests surrounding President Clinton's proposal to ban new road building in areas of the Tongass National Forest. The Tongass is currently exempted from a temporary moratorium on road building while the Forest Service determines whether to include the Tongass in the roadless ban. This Article analyses the current legislative framework that guides Forest System management of the Tongass and legal challenges to the roadless ban's application to the Tongass. Finally, the Author suggests a potential compromise that balances commercial and production interests.

The Conundrum Of Executive Compensation, Mark J. Loewenstein Jan 2000

The Conundrum Of Executive Compensation, Mark J. Loewenstein

Publications

Much of the scholarship on executive compensation that appears in law reviews assumes that large U.S. corporations overpay their chief executive officers ("CEOs"). This assumption is understandable, as many of these compensation packages are indeed stunning. The question of whether CEOs are overpaid, however, is complicated. Some scholars in other disciplines, principally in economics and management science, have studied the issue but, as this Article demonstrates, this literature does not confirm the assumption. Indeed, some studies suggest that CEO pay is competitive. Moreover, efforts to reduce the level of executive compensation may have the unintended consequence of achieving the opposite …

Wiyn Open Cluster Study. Ii. Ubvri Ccd Photometry Of The Open Cluster Ngc 188, Ata Sarajedini, Ted Von Hippel, Vera Kozhurina-Platais, Pierre Demarque

Publications

We present high-precision UBVRI CCD photometry of the old open cluster NGC 188. Our color-magnitude diagram extends from near the red giant branch tip to as faint as ~5 mag below the main-sequence turnoff. From an analysis of these data along with published photometry for M67, we draw the following conclusions: (1) From the UBV two-color diagram, we find a reddening of E(B ̶ V) = 0.04 ± 0.02 for M67 and E(B ̶ V) = 0.09 ± 0.02 for NGC 188. (2) Based on main-sequence fitting to solar abundance isochrones, the distance moduli …

An Elliptic Partial Differential Equation With A Symmetrical Almost Periodic Term, Gregory S. Spradlin Nov 1999

An Elliptic Partial Differential Equation With A Symmetrical Almost Periodic Term, Gregory S. Spradlin

Publications

In [STT], a Hamiltonian system of the form (1.0)− u′′+ u= h (t)∇ F (u) was studied, where h is an almost periodic (defined in a moment) function, and F: RN→ R a “superquadratic” potential. That is, F (q) behaves like q to a power greater than 2, with F (q)/| q| 2→ 0 as| q|→ 0 and F (q)/| q| 2→∞ as| q|→∞. For example, F (q)=| q| p− 1q with p> 1 would qualify. The authors found that (1.0) must have a nonzero solution homoclinic to zero. Since this result, many papers (see [CMN],[R1], and [ACM], for example) …


Discovery Of The Optical Transient Of Grb 990308, Bradley E. Schaefer, J. A. Snyder, J. Hernandez, B. Roscherr, M. Deng, N. Ellman, C. Bailyn, A. Rengstorf, D. Smith, Dieter H. Hartmann Oct 1999

Publications

The optical transient of the faint gamma-ray burst GRB 990308 was detected by the QUEST camera on the Venezuelan 1 m Schmidt telescope starting 3.28 hr after the burst. Our photometry gives V= 18.32 ± 0.07, R = 18.14 ± 0. 06, B =18.65, and R=18.22 ± 0.05 for times ranging from 3.28 to 3.47 hr after the burst. The colors correspond to a spectral slope of close to f ∝ v^1/3 . Within the standard synchrotron fireball model, this rquires that the external medium be less dense than 10^4 cm^-3, the electrons contain more than 20% of the shock …


Cold Tolerance And Fatty Acid Composition Of Striped Bass, White Bass, And Their Hybrids, Anita M. Kelly, Christopher C. Kohler Oct 1999

Cold Tolerance And Fatty Acid Composition Of Striped Bass, White Bass, And Their Hybrids, Anita M. Kelly, Christopher C. Kohler

Publications

Cold tolerance of striped bass Morone saxatilis, white bass M. chrysops, palmetto bass (female striped bass × male white bass), and sunshine bass (female white bass × male striped bass) were compared under controlled laboratory conditions. Two groups of each taxon were acclimated at 20°C in a recirculating-water system housed in an environmental chamber and were fed either a natural or prepared diet for 84 d. The fatty acid composition of the natural diet was 13% more unsaturated than that of the prepared diet. Fish fed the natural diet subsequently had unsaturated:saturated fatty acid ratios 10–25% higher than …


Evolution Of The Lithium Abundances Of Solar-Type Stars. Ix. High-Resolution Spectroscopy Of Low-Mass Stars In Ngc 2264, David R. Soderblom, Jeremy R. King, Lionel Siess, Burton F. Jones, Debra Fischer Sep 1999

Evolution Of The Lithium Abundances Of Solar-Type Stars. Ix. High-Resolution Spectroscopy Of Low-Mass Stars In Ngc 2264, David R. Soderblom, Jeremy R. King, Lionel Siess, Burton F. Jones, Debra Fischer

Publications

We have obtained Keck HIRES spectra of 35 objects in the pre–main-sequence cluster NGC 2264 in order to determine their radial velocities, rotation rates, activity levels, and Li abundances. Our precise radial velocities indicate that the eight objects we observed that lie below a 5 Myr isochrone are nonmembers. This means that the age spread within NGC 2264 is only about 4 Myr, a factor of 2 less than found previously, although this is a lower limit to the true age spread because star formation is still taking place in the cluster. After correction for non-LTE effects, our Li abundances …


Stress Distributions In Flowing Aggregated Colloidal Suspensions, Leo Silbert, R S. Farr, J R. Melrose, R C. Ball Sep 1999

Stress Distributions In Flowing Aggregated Colloidal Suspensions, Leo Silbert, R S. Farr, J R. Melrose, R C. Ball

Publications

Simulations of the flow of concentrated aggregated colloidal systems, at the particulate level, are used to investigate the distribution of stresses in the shear-thinning regime. It is found that the distribution of shear stress carried by interparticle bonds decays approximately exponentially at large stresses, but with a double-exponential distribution for values of positive stress. The microstructural mechanisms associated with large stresses are manifested in clusters which dominate the positive contribution to the stress in the system. Towards the end of shear thinning the highest forces occur along bonds defining rods of particles aligned approximately along the flow-compression direction. We propose …


Observations And Interpretation Of Gravity Wave Induced Fluctuations In The O I (557.7 Nm) Airglow, G. Schubert, R. L. Walterscheid, Michael P. Hickey Ph.D., C. A. Tepley Jul 1999

Observations And Interpretation Of Gravity Wave Induced Fluctuations In The O I (557.7 Nm) Airglow, G. Schubert, R. L. Walterscheid, Michael P. Hickey Ph.D., C. A. Tepley

Publications

Observations of fluctuations in the intensity and temperature of the O I (557.7 nm) airglow taken at Arecibo in 1989 are reported and interpreted on the assumption that they are caused by gravity waves propagating through the emission layer. The data give the magnitude of Krassovsky's ratio as 3.5 ± 2.2, at periods between about 5 and 10 hours. Comparison with theory shows that the gravity waves responsible for the measured airglow variations must have long wavelengths of several thousand kilometers. The observed phases of Krassovsky's ratio are in good agreement with theoretically predicted values at the long wavelengths and …

Nato’S Institutional Adaptation And Post-Strategic Security In Europe, 1990-97: Political Challenges And Theoretical Considerations, Alexander Siedschlag

Publications

Die politischen ebenso wie die politologischen Debatten über die Zukunft der NATO begannen schon bald, sich vornehmlich um die Bündniserweiterung und um den gemeinsamen Ausgriff im robusten Konfliktmanagement zu drehen. Diese wichtigen Dimensionen der Zukunft der Allianz und ihrer Rolle bei der Friedenssicherung in und für Europa dürfen aber eine andere, ebenfalls grundlegende Dimension nicht übersehen lassen: die politischen Beziehungen innerhalb der Allianz und die Selbstpositionierung der Allianz gegenüber anderen internationalen 'Sicherheitsinstitutionen'. Dieser Aspekt ist nach dem Madrider Gipfel vom Juli 1997, auf dem die dann im März 1999 erfolgte Erweiterungsrunde beschlossen wurde, zu sehr in den Hintergrund geraten. Doch …

Colossal Magnetoresistance In Ce Doped Manganese Oxides, J. R. Gebhardt, S. Roy, N. Ali

Publications

In this study we investigate the effects of Ce doping in R1−xAxMnO3 (R = La, Ce, and A = Sr, Ce) on the magnetic and transport properties of this system. For La1−xCexMnO3 (LCMO), an increase in Ce concentration is accompanied by an increase in TC from 225 to 236 K, as well as an increase in the electrical resistivity. An extremely high resistivity is observed in the new system Ce1−xSrxMnO3 (CSMO) which becomes insulating below its Curie temperature of 43 K. …

Magnetic Properties Of Rtsb3, Michael Leonard, Shibaji Saha, Naushad Ali Apr 1999

Magnetic Properties Of Rtsb3, Michael Leonard, Shibaji Saha, Naushad Ali

Publications

Magnetization, electrical resistivity, and thermal expansion measurements have been performed on polycrystalline RTSb3 (R=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, and Dy; T=Cr, V) samples in order to study their magnetic properties. Depending on the rare-earth element, RTSb3 has been found to have either a purely ferromagnetic (or antiferromagnetic) phase or combination of antiferromagnetic (lower-temperature) and ferromagnetic (higher-temperature) phases. The antiferromagnetic order evolves from the ferromagnetic order as a result of the competition between R3+ and Cr3+ ions. As R is changed from La to Dy, the antiferromagnetic ordering of the R3+ ions becomes more prominent …


Magnetic Phase Diagrams Of Erbium, B. H. Frazer, J. R. Gebhardt, N. Ali Apr 1999

Magnetic Phase Diagrams Of Erbium, B. H. Frazer, J. R. Gebhardt, N. Ali

Publications

The magnetic phase diagrams of erbium in the magnetic field–temperature plane have been constructed for applied magnetic fields along the a and b axes. For an a-axis applied field our H–T phase diagrams determined from magnetization and magnetoresistance data are in good agreement and consistent with that of Jehan et al. for temperatures below 50 K. A splitting of the basal plane Néel temperature (TN⊥) above 3.75 T introduces two new magnetic phases. Also a transition from a fan to a canted fan phase as suggested by Jehan et al. is observed in …

Beryllium Abundances In Halo Stars From Keck/Hires Observations, Ann Merchant Boesgaard, Constantine P. Deliyannis, Jeremy R. King, Sean G. Ryan, Steven S. Vogt, Timothy C. Beers

Publications

We have determined the abundance of Be in stars with an array of metal abundances in order to enhance our understanding of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy, cosmic-ray theory, and cosmology. Observations of the Be II resonance lines at lambda3130 and lambda3131 were made at the Keck telescope with the HIRES spectrometer at a resolution of 46,000 and signal-to-noise ratios of 60-110 (per pixel) typically. Our sample includes 22 halo dwarfs and five disk stars (including the Sun). We have taken special care in determining the stellar parameters for these stars in a consistent manner. The Be abundances were …

Factors In Organic Farmers' Decisionmaking: Diversity, Challenge, And Obstacles, Leslie Duram Mar 1999

Factors In Organic Farmers' Decisionmaking: Diversity, Challenge, And Obstacles, Leslie Duram

Publications

This research promotes our understanding of organic farmers' decisionmaking through individual farmers' experiences. A twofold survey was conducted to investigate characteristics of certified organic farmers in Colorado. Data from a mail survey (26 responses to 49 surveys sent) reveal patterns of farm operations and attitudes among this group of farmers. These questionnaires focused on land use, land tenure, operational change, and personal characteristics. In-depth interviews of five case study farmers provide additional insight into farmers' agricultural decisionmaking. These interviews were conversations that the farmers guided toward topics of relevance to them. Taken together, the mail and interview surveys provided information …


A Note On Gravity Wave-Driven Volume Emission Rate Weighted Temperature Perturbations Inferred From O₂ Atmospheric And O I 5577 Airglow Observations, Michael P. Hickey Ph.D., Richard L. Walterscheid Mar 1999

A Note On Gravity Wave-Driven Volume Emission Rate Weighted Temperature Perturbations Inferred From O₂ Atmospheric And O I 5577 Airglow Observations, Michael P. Hickey Ph.D., Richard L. Walterscheid

Publications

A full-wave dynamical model and chemistry models that simulate ground-based observations of gravity wave-driven O₂ atmospheric and O I 5577 airglow fluctuations in the mesopause region are used to demonstrate that for many observable gravity waves modeling is required to infer temperature perturbation amplitudes from airglow observations. We demonstrate that the amplitude of the altitude-integrated volume emission rate weighted temperature perturbation differs by at least about 30% from the amplitude of the temperature perturbation of the major gas in the vicinity of the peak of the airglow volume emission rate for gravity waves with horizontal phase speeds less than about …


Rapid Generation Of Broad T-Cell Immunity In Humans After A Single Injection Of Mature Dendritic Cells, Madhav V. Dhodapkar, Ralph M. Steinman, Mark Sapp Jan 1999

Rapid Generation Of Broad T-Cell Immunity In Humans After A Single Injection Of Mature Dendritic Cells, Madhav V. Dhodapkar, Ralph M. Steinman, Mark Sapp

Publications

Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells that initiate protective T-cell immunity in mice. To study the immunogenicity of DCs in humans, we injected 9 healthy subjects subcutaneously with a control injection of autologous monocyte-derived, mature DCs, followed 4-6 weeks later by DCs pulsed with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), HLA-A*0201- positive restricted influenza matrix peptide (MP), and tetanus toxoid (TT). Four more subjects received these antigens without DCs. Injection of unpulsed DCs, or antigens alone, failed to immunize. Priming of CD4+ T cells to KLH was observed in all 9 subjects injected with KLH-pulsed DCs, and boosting of TT-specific …
