De Novo Juries, Misdemeanor Counsel, And Other Problems: Changes Ahead For The Maine District Courts?, Pierce B. Hasler
De Novo Juries, Misdemeanor Counsel, And Other Problems: Changes Ahead For The Maine District Courts?, Pierce B. Hasler
Maine Law Review
The Maine judicial system has two levels of criminal courts, the superior court having exclusive trial jurisdiction over felony prosecutions and the district court operating with concurrent trial jurisdiction for misdemeanors. The district court also processes the preliminary phases of felony cases; included in this function are bail hearings, initial appearances (arraignments), and preliminary hearings. To provide jury trials in misdemeanor prosecutions state law permits all district court convictions to be appealed to the superior court for trial de novo to a jury. The accepted reason for unlimited de novo trials is that the state constitution requires a jury in …
Ransoming The Maine Environment, G. Graham Waite
Ransoming The Maine Environment, G. Graham Waite
Maine Law Review
The call for natural resource conservation is widely heard today. Purity of air and water are goals that most persons seem to endorse, at least in the abstract. The dollar costs of governmental programs for achieving relatively clean air and water doubtless are high, making questions of who bears them important. Some recent decisions of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court suggest that in Maine the major costs will be paid by taxpayers at large rather than by individual resource users.
A Proposal To Protect Maine From The Oilbergs Of The 70'S, Eugene C. Coughlin Iii
A Proposal To Protect Maine From The Oilbergs Of The 70'S, Eugene C. Coughlin Iii
Maine Law Review
The oil industry is moving into Maine with plans to develop new oil ports and to build oil refineries along the coast. Although the Portland harbor is one of the busiest oil ports on the eastern seaboard, the enormous increase in oil transportation over Maine waters, as envisioned by the oil magnates, poses frightening consequences for Maine people. Responding to this threat and to a growing conservation lobby, as well as an aroused public, the 104th Legislature passed measures that hopefully will begin to cope with the problem. Hailed as landmark conservation legislation, the new laws go further than past …
The Balance Of Power In Professional Sports, Barry Zimmerman
The Balance Of Power In Professional Sports, Barry Zimmerman
Maine Law Review
This note examines the problems of the professional athlete in dealing with the "establishment" in the sports world. The basic framework for analysis lies in the operation of our free enterprise ideas in the practical context of professional sports. The professional athlete suffers from a severe lack of bargaining power in his relationship with management. This bargaining imbalance is inconsistent with the premises of our free enterprise system and must be eliminated if the professional sports world is to avoid a total breakdown in labor-management relations.
A Marketable Title Act For Maine, Chadbourn H. Smith
A Marketable Title Act For Maine, Chadbourn H. Smith
Maine Law Review
Conveyancing procedure in Maine, as in many other states, has become progressively more complex. Under the traditional recording system two elements—an ever-growing labyrinth of land records and the consequent likelihood of a defect in the chain of title—make repetitive, over-meticulous title examinations common, and uncertainty almost inevitable. Both of these elements must be eradicated by effective legislation, redefining and promoting marketability. No longer should landholders be faced with a constant challenge from the past, protection against which is by means of an expensive title report, carefully conditioned and couched in terms of the title-searcher's opinion rather than law. Attorneys should …
Bankruptcy Courts In Transition Toward Debtor Rehabilitation, Conrad K. Cyr
Bankruptcy Courts In Transition Toward Debtor Rehabilitation, Conrad K. Cyr
Maine Law Review
This article attempts primarily to cope with the so-called debtor relief provisions of the Bankruptcy Act rather than with its ordinary or straight bankruptcy provisions. The different emphasis upon liquidation in ordinary bankruptcy and rehabilitation in debtor relief proceedings justifies their separate treatment. It must be cautioned, however, that not only the philosophy but many of the administrative and procedural precepts of chapters I-VII of the Bankruptcy Act are incorporated, either by word or implication, into the debtor relief chapters. Moreover, most types of cases filed under the Bankruptcy Act are administered by the same personnel in the same court …
Greenlining: A Policy Response To Environmental Racism, Adynn L. Kitchin
Greenlining: A Policy Response To Environmental Racism, Adynn L. Kitchin
Thinking Matters Student Research Symposium
Redlining describes the deliberate actions made in the 1930s by the U.S. Government’s Home Owners’ Loan Corporation(HOLC), in which the race of a neighborhood’s residents was used to measure its degree of desirability. This information was produced through maps, which consequently denied these individuals’ access to mortgages and other financial services. Although redlining was outlawed by the 1968 Fair Housing Act and the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the legacy still lingers today. The United States’ Department of Justice launched the Combating Redlining Initiative in 2021, which has since received $107 million in settlements for neighborhoods of color across the …

A Domestic Waste Heat Recovery System: Mathematical Model Of A Green Kitchen Module, Stefano Maria Spagocci
Seatific Journal
A lumped parameter model of a domestic heat storage/recovery system is described. This is a typical green kitchen application, where the heat dissipated by kitchen appliances is stored in suitable materials by temperature rise and/or phase transitions. To this aim, sensible heat materials and phase change materials are considered. Based on the model, a number of design solutions are proposed, making use of fixed beds or shell-and-tube heat exchangers, where heat is stored in spheres or cylinders made up of (or encapsulating) suitable materials. The best solution (a PCM-based shell-and-tube exchanger) corresponds to ~50×50×25 cm, ~30 kg modules.
Low-Computational Adaptive Mpc Algorithmization Strategy For Over And Undershoots Instantaneous Water Heaters Stability, Ismael Ehtiwesh
Low-Computational Adaptive Mpc Algorithmization Strategy For Over And Undershoots Instantaneous Water Heaters Stability, Ismael Ehtiwesh
Seatific Journal
Tankless gas Hot Water users' comforting perception is severely affected by sudden changes in temperature apart from the desired temperature. The instability of the water temperature with overshoots and undershoots is the most common disadvantage that appears mainly because of the sudden changes in the water flow demanded by users and the response delays inherent to the heating system. Classical controllers for heat cells have difficulties in responding to temperature instability in a timely manner because they do not have the capacity to anticipate the effects of sudden variations in water flow rate. The model predictive control with adaptive function …

Maximum Entropy Production And Constructal Law: Variable Conductance And Branched Flow, Phillip Johnson
Maximum Entropy Production And Constructal Law: Variable Conductance And Branched Flow, Phillip Johnson
Seatific Journal
Within the scope of modern thermodynamics, several new principles have been advanced. Yet a coherent picture has not yet fully emerged beyond classical thermodynamics, in part because of the disparate nature of these principles. This work analyzes two such principles, that of maximum entropy production and also the constructal law. These ideas are compared in two examples scenarios, atmospheric convection and riverbed generation. It is shown that both ideas utilized a flow network with variable conductivity, particularly that of a branched system. Comparison is made to show underlying shared principles.
