Remaining Silent after Salinas

In its ruling last Term in Salinas v Texas, the Supreme Court further eroded what little remains of the Fifth Amendment jurisprudence protecting against coercive police questioning of suspects. In this short piece for the University of Chicago Law Review\u27s online Dialogue, I explore the Salinas decision and its implications. I argue that the result encourages precisely the types of informal, undocumented questioning that can cause false confessions and wrongful convictions

New record of Liolaemus ditadai Cei, 1983 (Squamata, Liolaemidae) from Santiago del Estero province, Argentina

Liolaemus ditadai is a rare liolaemid lizardoriginally described from Salinas Grandes salt-pans flat,in the border between Cordoba and Catamarca Provincein central Argentina. Only a few specimens of this speciesare known. Here, we present a new record that result ina significant extension of the known distribution of thespecies, which is currently considered to be restricted toa small area in Salinas Grandes. In addition, we commenton previous records of the species in central Argentina.Fil: Avila, Luciano Javier. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

ESTIMATING THE IMPACTS OF DIFFERING PRICE-RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ON THE NET INCOME OF SALINAS VALLEY LETTUCE PRODUCERS: A STOCHASTIC SIMULATION APPROACH

While government safety-net programs are used to mitigate the price risk for commodity producers, limited programs exist for specialty crop producers. Specialty crop producers utilize forward contracts to reduce downside price risk. In order to estimate the method of price-risk management, if any, that is preferable to selling at market determined prices, a stochastic simulation model was constructed. The completed simulation model was used to estimate probability distributions for Salinas Valley net income under different pricing scenarios. Probabilities of reaching various net income thresholds were compared. Results indicate that Salinas Valley lettuce producers should maximize profitability by using forward contracts.Farm Management, Risk and Uncertainty,

A new Lyropecten (Pectinidae, Bivalvia, Mollusca) from the central California Miocene, USA

A new pectinid, Lyropecten terrysmithae n. sp., has been recognized in middle to late Miocene rock units referred to as the Monterey Formation and Santa Margarita Sandstone in the southern Salinas Valley, central California. Previously, L. terrysmithae had been identified as a flat form belonging to either L. estrellanus or L. catalinae, then more recently to Argopecten sp. The earlier assignments were based on its moderate size and a radial rib count nearly identical to these taxa. However, its hinge, flat unledged valves, looped lamellar growth lines, and hinge crura set L. terrysmithae apart from Argopecten and all species of Lyropecten. Localities where it occurs in the Salinas Valley that can be accurately dated are from the late middle to middle late Miocene “Margaritan” California provincial molluscan stage. While L. terrysmithae has been collected at other sites, those localities lack diagnostic age-specific species necessary to determine an accurate geological age and maybe older

Panel one serves as the title panel of the traveling exhibit. It was adapted from the cover designed by Candido Salinas for the Fall 2012 issue of the Linfield Magazine. The panel features a vintage photograph from the Coon Family Collection depicting double-enders launching from the beach in 1957.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/dory_exhibit/1000/thumbnail.jp

La Llegada Contemplativa como Narrativa Fundacional en El Contemplado y las Cartas de Viaje de Pedro Salinas

El artículo habla de los discursos postcoloniales y contra-hegemónicos en las obras del escritor puertorriqueño Pedro Salinas al principio del siglo XX. Los críticos literarios han realizado la visión de Salinas de la puertorriqueñidad. Dos obras de Salinas El contemplado y Cartas de viaje muestran un gran afán por implementar la españolidad como parte de la isla, pero también critica el imperio norteamericano en las prácticas sociales

Lecturas polifónicas de los epistolarios de Jorge Guillén y Pedro Salinas

This article addresses Jorge Guillén and Pedro Salinas’ epistolary voice, two fundamental poets in the renewal of Spanish literature around 1927. Both excelled in their letter writing activity. The article discusses some of the similarities and differences we can detect in their correspondence, especially in the letters Guillén sent to his wife, Germaine Cahen, and the letters of Pedro Salinas in general. Letter writing, together with prose and poetry, is a significant part of Guillén and Salinas’ literary and vital projects, and it helps us better know hidden aspects of their writing. Salinas expresses a “perfect forever”, while Guillén is close to a “real human tremor”

Utilidad del NDVI para la discriminación de fases salinas en parcelas con cebada

En los suelos de la cuenca media del Ebro con problemas de salinidad edáfica predominan los cereales de invierno, principalmente la cebada, cultivo tolerante a sequía y salinidad. En este trabajo se estudia la utilidad del NDVI derivado de imágenes Landsat para discriminar fases salinas del suelo en parcelas de cebada, como posible herramienta para identificación y vigilancia de la salinidad edáfica. En nueve parcelas de cebada de Huesca y Navarra con diferente grado de afección por salinidad edáfica, se analiza la evolución del NDVI medio ( NDVI ) a lo largo del ciclo de cultivo y el NDVI en cuatro categorías salinas: superficies no salinas (conductividad eléctrica del extracto de pasta saturada, CEe < 4 dS m-1), ligeramente salinas (4 dS m-1 ≤ CEe ≤ 8 dS m-1), moderadamente salinas (8 dS m-1 < CEe < 16 dS m-1) y fuertemente salinas (CEe ≥ 16 dS m-1). Las mayores diferencias entre el NDVI de parcelas salinas y no salinas se detectan principalmente en abril. Se corrobora que el NDVI disminuye conforme aumenta la salinidad edáfica. Prácticamente no hay diferencias significativas entre el NDVI de superficies no salinas y ligeramente salinas; se detecta una cierta disminución, más o menos acusada según parcelas, en el NDVI en superficies moderadamente salinas, y una disminución relevante y significativa en superficies fuertemente salinas.In the central basin of the Ebro River salt-affected soils are predominantly occupied with winter cereals, mainly barley, which is a crop tolerant to drought and salinity. This work studies the utility of NDVI derived from Landsat images for discriminating soil salinity phases in barley fields, as a possible tool for identification and surveillance of soil salinity. The evolution of mean NDVI ( NDVI ) along the growing season and the NDVI in four soil salinity classes (non-saline, electrical conductivity of the soil saturation extract, ECe < 4 dS m-1; slightly saline, 4 dS m-1 ≤ ECe ≤ 8 dS m-1; moderately saline, 8 dS m-1 <ECe < 16 dS m-1; and strongly saline, ECe ≥ 16 dS m-1) were analyzed in nine barley fields with different degree of soil salinity, located in Huesca and Navarra. The highest differences between NDVI of saline and non-saline fields are detected in April. It is corroborated that NDVI decreases as soil salinity increases. Practically, there are not significant differences between NDVI of non saline and slightly saline areas; a certain decrease, more or less marked depending on parcels, is detected on NDVI for moderately saline areas, and a relevant and significant decrease on NDVI for strongly saline areas
