Expanding The Automobile Search Incident to Arrest: New York v. Belton

This Note will examine the basis for the holding in Belton, consider the changes in existing search incident to arrest law and the effects that it will have on other areas of the law

A Technological Analysis of Modified Bone from the Widows Creek Site (1JA305), Alabama

This study examines chronological and spatial changes in the distribution of modified bone attributes. Five hundred sixty-two modified bone specimens were examined from Late Archaic, Early Woodland, and Middle/Late Woodland contexts of the Widows Creek site. Each specimen was examined for raw material, manufacturing traces, manufacturing stage, and morphology. The Widows Creek material was then compared to material from Russell Cave (1JA181) and Westmoreland-Barber (40MI11) using published data. The study found that, at a general level, raw material choice varied little through time. However, distinct differences in the distribution of materials in manufacturing stages and morphological categories are present. Manufacturing stage data shows an increase in the manufacture of certain items including fishhooks and bipointed objects in the Middle Late Woodland period. Differences in settlement pattern and site function are observed when the three sites are compared

Equivalence of foliar water uptake and stomatal conductance?

Foliar water uptake, FWU, the uptake of atmospheric water directly into leaves, has been reported to occur in nearly 200 species spanning a wide range of ecosystems distributed globally. In order to represent FWU in land‐surface models, a conductance term is required to scale the process to the canopy level. Here we show that conductance to FWU is theoretically equivalent to stomatal conductance and that under commonly occurring conditions vapour could diffuse into leaves at rates equivalent to those reported as FWU. We therefore conclude that such 'reverse transpiration' could partially, or even wholly, account for FWU in some plants.Australian Research Council, Grant/Award Number: FT11010045
