Criminalizing Money Laundering As A Method And Means Of Curbing Corruption, Organized Crime, And Capital Flight In Russia, Sam Chung

Washington International Law Journal

In the wake of the post-Soviet privatization in the Russian Federation, corruption and organized crime have flourished, contributing to capital flight, economic instability, and the collapse of Russia's financial system. Over the same period, Russian legislators have worked to reform the legal system in order to facilitate their country's transition to democracy and the rule of law. In 1997, legislative efforts led to the enactment of a new criminal code that emphasizes the rights of the individual as opposed to the power of the government. More recently, several draft bills targeting money laundering activities and banking reform have been introduced …

A Simplified Model Of Wound Healing (With Particular Reference To The Critical Size Defect), J. A. Adam

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

This paper is an attempt to construct a simple mathematical model of wound healing/tissue regeneration which reproduces some of the known qualitative features of those phenomena. It does not address the time development of the wound in any way, but does examine conditions (e.g., wound size) under which such healing may occur. Two related one-dimensional models are examined here. The first, and simpler of the two corresponds to a "swath" of tissue (or more realistically in this case, bone) removed from an infinite plane of tissue in which only a thin band of tissue at the wound edges takes part …

Editing Willa Cather: Defining The Territory, Susan J. Rosowski

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

But before telling about this work, I shall describe the structure of the project, which is collaborative in its conception and design. To ensure high quality and productivity, we have concentrated textual editing at the University of Nebraska. My colleague in the English Department, Charles Mignon, has been with the project from its beginning, and Fred Link, former chair of the English Department and director of University of Nebraska Press, joined the project shortly before he retired and has continued with it as a professor emeritus. Both brought editorial expertise to the project, one editing Edward Taylor, the other Restoration …

1998 Nebraska Nesting Report, Wayne J. Mollhoff

Nebraska Bird Review

Following a hiatus of nearly a decade, this report on the nesting birds of Nebraska reinstates a Nebraska Bird Review tradition that began with an anonymous compilation (apparently by the editor) of the notes from two observers in the 1955 breeding season (Anonymous 1956). By 1965, with the inception of the Cornell Nest Record Card Program, data was collected on standardized cards, with the completed cards being forwarded to Cornell University in New York.

I accepted responsibility for the program several years ago; but by mutual agreement with the/Nebraska Ornithologists' Union leadership, I have delayed work until the Nebraska Breeding …

Cooperative Whooping Crane Tracking Project March 1999-May 1999

Nebraska Bird Review

A peak population of 182 (164 adult/subadult and 18 juvenile) whooping cranes was reported at Aransas during the winter of 1998-99. An adult plumaged whooping crane, which wintered with sandhill cranes about 90 miles northeast of Aransas in Fort Bend County, was the record 183rd bird in the wintering flock. No birds are known to have been lost at Aransas during the winter. A 1986 colormarked female with a broken leg, last observed at Quivira NWR on December 29, 1998, was not reported during the spring migration, and is assumed to be dead. An estimated 183 whooping cranes migrated north …

The Ultraviolet Birds Of Nebraska, Paul A. Johnsgard

Nebraska Bird Review

That the visual range of at least some birds extends into the ultraviolet region has been known since the early 1970s, when it was first discovered in hummingbirds and pigeons. The ultraviolet region is that energy consisting of light waves shorter than Violet, and thus beyond human perception. Although UV perception has long been recognized to occur in many insects and other invertebrate groups, scientists had doubted that either birds or mammals have this ability. Instead, it was generally assumed that the vertebrate cornea provides a protective block to ultraviolet waves, perhaps because UV energy can do damage to the …

Summer Field Report, June To July, 1999, W. Ross Silcock

Nebraska Bird Review

First of all, I want to thank Joel Jorgensen for helping write these reports for the last few years. Joel has decided to spend his limited free time on Records Committee matters; he is currently Chairman. Over the last few years, Joel has made significant contributions to Nebraska ornithology, particularly through his! meticulous counts of shorebirds in the Rainwater Basin.

This season proved interesting in terms of ranges of breeding birds, as discussed in the accounts. See, for example, Little Blue Heron, the dOWitchers. Black-billed Magpie, White-breasted Nuthatch, Sedge Wren, and the towhees. There seems to be an increasing number …

Identification Of The Pink Hibiscus Mealybug, Maconellicoccus Hirsutus (Green) (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae, Douglass R. Miller

Insecta Mundi

The pink hibiscus mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), has spread rapidly in the tropical and subtropical areas of the New World especially throughout the Caribbean Islands, and has recently been discovered in California, Mexico, and Belize. All instars of the pink hibiscus mealybug are described and illustrated to facilitate discovery of infestations. Comparisons with other common pest species are provided for most of the 8 instars, and a table is included that distinguishes the pink hibiscus mealybug from other pest species in the field.

Diet Preference, Competition And Learning In A Cloud Forest Hummingbird Community, September 1999, Meg Seifert, Ambrose Tuscano

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The purpose of this study was to determine hummingbird preference between protein and higher sugar concentrations, and how any preference affects competition and memory. We hung three sets of three feeders in triangular patterns and observed hummingbird visits and interactions. We also, noted solitary feedings on the days directly following both site establishment and feeder rotation. Our results showed that there was an overall preference for the feeder with higher sugar concentration, that larger species and newcomers were generally dominant and that birds did not take longer to learn the values of established leaders that had been rotated than feeders …

Edge Effects On Tropical Bird Nest Predation In Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 1999, Kristin C. Young

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Disturbances to continuous forest such as roads or cleared patches of land often cause forest fragmentation. Resulting tracts of forest are often too small to support populations of top predators. As a result of this, mesopredators populations are left unchecked and increase to unnatural abundances. One consequence of this is increased predation on tropical bird nests, which may put them at risk for extinction. I constructed 120 artificial bird nests and placed two quail eggs in each nest. Nests were situated along 12 transect lines that ran into the forest, perpendicular to a road in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Predation was …

Structural And Chemical Changes In Leaves Of Cecropia (Cecropiaceae) With Plant Age, September 1999, James J. Garnsey

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Many tropical plants show age-related morphological and chemical changes that are adaptive to a particular environment. Generally, leaves of young plants have drip tips and increased secondary compounds while leaves of mature plants lack drip tips and are tougher. Cecropia polyphlebia and Cecropia obtusifolia are common pioneer tree species in Monteverde, Costa Rica that exhibit morphological and chemical changes with age. Here, I study how water content, herbivory, toughness and concentration of alkaloids change in the leaves of Cecropia as the plants age. Leaves from young, medium and mature aged plants were collected from gaps near the Estación Biológica Monteverde …

Vertical Stratification In Color Complexes Of Ithomiine (Nymphalidae) Butterflies, September 1999, Elizabeth Levitt

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Ithomiine (Nymphalidae) butterflies are vertically stratified by color pattern in neotropical forests. Each of the five color patterns recognized represents a mimicry complex of several sympatric species. Vertical stratification between color complexes of Ithomiines has been attributed to crypticity and host plant stratification. Here, I study stratification between the clearwing and golden-translucent complexes in Monteverde, Costa Rica. As in other studies, clearwings tend to fly lower than golden-translucents. Host plants do not correspond well to flight heights for these species, however. Within complexes species are also vertically stratified with most similar species tending to separate, possibly to aid in mate …
