A Compilation Of Published Records Of The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker In Texas: Voucher Specimens Versus Sight Records, Clifford E. Shackelford

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

I reviewed all published reports of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis), including specimen and sight records from Texas. A total of 25 published records and two U. S. Biological Survey unpublished reports revealed three specimen records and 44 sight records. Also, a sound voucher of the "double-knock" of a presumed Ivory-bill in Texas appears on an album of bird songs. This compilation reveals additional reports not published in Oberholser (1974), which is considered to be the main source of historical data for Texas. The intent of this paper, many decades later, is not to determine the validity of each sight …

"Lest We Forget": The History Of Mercer Law Review, Charles R. Adams Iii

Mercer Law Review

It was one of those rare, perfect, early fall afternoons that occasionally favors middle Georgia. The stultifying heat of the 1948 summer had finally broken, and outside the open windows in the newly-cleared attic space on the third floor of the Ryals Law Building, the sky was the deepening color of blue that holds the promise of cooler weather and falling leaves. Inside, the air was still, but the atmosphere was electric with energy and a measure of tension. The group of students assembled there, led by Bill Tyson, were about to try something new and different in Mercer University …

Workers' Compensation, H. Michael Bagley, Daniel C. Kniffen, Katherine D. Dixon, Marion H. Martin

Mercer Law Review

The 1997-98 survey period was marked by a relatively calm legislative session with respect to workers' compensation, in sharp contrast to the significant legislation that has reshaped the Georgia's Workers' Compensation Act this decade. As usual, however, the appellate courts were active in the workers' compensation arena, issuing decisions over a broad range of issues. In particular, significant rulings affected change in condition cases, the intoxication defense, and the ongoing issue of psychological injury.

A Continuous Process For The Conversion Of Vegetable Oils Into Methyl Esters Of Fatty Acids, Hossein Noureddini, D Harkey, V Medikonduru

Papers in Biomaterials

A continuous process for the transesterification of triglycerides to methyl esters was investigated in a pilot plant. The process was equipped with a motionless and a high-shear mixer. The experimental studies explored variations in the mixing intensity, stoichiometry, and catalyst concentration on the overall conversion. The combined as well as individual effect of mixers was examined. The developed process resulted in high conversions of vegetable oils into methyl esters. Conversion of triglycerides to methyl esters in excess of 98% was achieved. Larger excess amounts of alcohol favored higher conversions. The motionless and high-shear mixers each provided adequate mixing for the …

Lower Lip Numbness Due To Peri-Radicular Dental Infection, Wei Cheong Ngeow

Pre-2000

Lower lip numbness has always been a sinister symptom. Much has been written about it being the sole symptom of pathological lesions and metastatic tumours in the mandible. It may also be a symptom of manifestations of certain systemic disorders. A case of lower lip numbness resulting from the compression of the mental nerve by a peri-radicular abscess is presented because of the unusual nature of this spread of infection.

Effect Of Ammonia Flow Rate On Impurity Incorporation And Material Properties Of Si-Doped Gan Epitaxial Films Grown By Reactive Molecular Beam Epitaxy, Wook Kim, A. E. Botchkarev, H. Morkoç, Z-Q. Fang, David C. Look, David J. Smith

Physics Faculty Publications

Effect of ammonia flow rate on the impurity incorporation and material properties of Si-doped GaN films grown by reactive molecular beam epitaxy (RMBE) process is discussed. It appears that the ammonia flow rate has a marginal effect on the incorporation of impurities into the Si-doped GaN films except there was a little decrease in O and Si with increasing ammonia flow rate when the Si concentration in the film is higher than 10¹⁸ cm⁻³. Electron Hall mobility of Si-doped GaN films grown by RMBE varies with ammonia flow rate used during film growth. From deep level transient …

"Crimtorts" As Corporate Just Deserts, Thomas Koenig, Michael Rustad

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Just as Grant Gilmore described "contorts" that lie on the borderline between contract and tort law, the authors coin the term "crimtort" to identify the expanding common ground between criminal and tort law. Although the concept of crimtort can be broadly applied to many areas of the law, this Article focuses on the primary crimtort remedy - punitive damages. The deterrent power of punitive damages lies in the wealth-calibration of the defendant's punishment. For corporations this means that punitive damages will reflect the firm's net income or net worth. The theoretical danger is that juries will abuse wealth by redistributing …

Adverse Possession Of Municipal Land: It's Time To Protect This Valuable Asset, Paula R. Latovick

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The laws of several states regarding adverse possession of municipal land vary widely from providing no protection to granting complete immunity from such loss. Generally, states that permit adverse possession of municipally owned land do so without articulating a rationale for allowing such a loss of a valuable municipal asset. In this Article, Professor Latovick describes why the current state of the law is unsatisfactory. She then considers the public policies raised by the issue of adverse possession of municipal land. Professor Latovick concludes by proposing that states should adopt legislation expressly protecting all municipal land from adverse possession and …

Spare The Rod, Embrace Our Humanity: Toward A New Legal Regime Prohibiting Corporal Punishment Of Children, Susan H. Bitensky

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article proceeds from the simple premise that hitting children hurts them-even when the hitting does not rise to the level of child abuse as traditionally conceived. There is convincing evidence that corporal punishment is a hidden cruelty in child rearing that has serious adverse consequences for its victims and society at large. Yet forty-nine states permit parental corporal punishment of children and approximately half of the states permit such punishment in elementary and secondary schools The main purpose of this Article is to question the advisability of continuing the legalized status of corporal punishment of children in the United …

U.S. Catholic Schools And The Religious Who Served In Them: The Struggle To Continue The Tradition In The Post-Vatican Ii Era, Richard M. Jacobs

Journal of Catholic Education

This last in a series of three articles surveying the contributions of the religious to U.S. Catholic schooling focuses upon these contributions during the decades following the close of the Second Vatican Council. In an era when control of Catholic schooling was in transition from the hands of the religious to their lay collaborators, these women and men extended the legacy of their forebears by continuing to give form to the mission and purpose of U.S. Catholic schooling””namely, what it means to be an American Catholic””for the youth of the post-Vatican II era. These young women and men will provide …

A Case Study Of Immigrants And Education: The Scalabrinian Experience With Italian Americans, Mary Elizabeth Brown

Journal of Catholic Education

This article describes the experience of the Society of Saint Charles, commonly known as the Scalabrinians, regarding the Catholic education of Italian immigrants between 1887 and 1933. It relates this historical situation to the following issues facing contemporary Catholic immigrant education: 1) financing local parochial educational programs with nonlocal funds; 2) developing theories regarding transcultural education; and 3) considering education inclusively to incorporate programs beyond parochial schooling.
