Criminal Law - The No I Didn\u27t, and Yes I Did But.... Defense: Is the Entrapment Defense Available to Criminal Defendants Who Deny Doing the Crime? - Mathews v. United States

This Note will explore the history of the entrapment defense. In addition, this Note will review previous federal court decisions regarding the inconsistency rule. The inconsistency rule refuses a criminal defendant the right to deny committing the charged acts and plead the entrapment defense. This Note will analyze both the majority and dissenting opinions of Mathews. The Note concludes by urging the North Carolina courts to follow the Mathews lead and change its stance with regard to the inconsistency rule

The Addition of Amines to Ethylenimine

Several addition reactions of ethylenimine with various amino compounds, using water as a catalyst have been reported by Wilson (1). Substituted diamines have been prepared most commonly by a Gabriel Synthesis (2) from primary and secondary amines and B-bromoethylphthalimide, and through the reaction of ethylene oxide with amines to form ethanolamine from which the diamine could be prepared (3). However, the addition of primary and secondary amines to ethylenimine represents a direct and simple method for their preparation, providing satisfactory yields can be obtained. In the present work, a study of this addition reaction as catalyzed by aluminum chloride has been made. The use of aluminum chloride has certain advantages over the use of water since the reaction is carried out under anhydrous conditions and in many cases the isolation of products is more easily effected than when a large volume of water is used. So far as the present authors are aware, the catalysis by aluminum chloride of such an addition has not been previously reported

Trilepida koppesi (Amaral, 1955) (Leptotyphlopidae): First Paraguayan record of the genus and species, with an illustrated key to Paraguayan blind-snakes (Scolecophidia)

The first Paraguayan specimens of the Leptotyphlopid blind-snake Trilepida koppesi (Amaral, 1955) are reported from the Cerrado of San Pedro department. These extend the species known distribution 413km to the south. Images of each species and an illustrated key to the known Paraguayan Scolecophidia is provided to aid identification

The Aegis BMD Global Enterprise

For more than three decades, beginning soon after the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union faced off against each other. The concept of “mutual assured destruction”—MAD, the U.S. threat of massive retaliation to a Soviet first strike—became America’s Cold War de facto strategic defense policy. In March 1983, however, President Ronald Reagan asked whether ballistic missiles could be destroyed before they reached the United States or its allies, thus catalyzing efforts for a national ballistic-missile-defense program that would undermine the need for MAD

Design and qualification of the SEU/TD Radiation Monitor chip

This report describes the design, fabrication, and testing of the Single-Event Upset/Total Dose (SEU/TD) Radiation Monitor chip. The Radiation Monitor is scheduled to fly on the Mid-Course Space Experiment Satellite (MSX). The Radiation Monitor chip consists of a custom-designed 4-bit SRAM for heavy ion detection and three MOSFET's for monitoring total dose. In addition the Radiation Monitor chip was tested along with three diagnostic chips: the processor monitor and the reliability and fault chips. These chips revealed the quality of the CMOS fabrication process. The SEU/TD Radiation Monitor chip had an initial functional yield of 94.6 percent. Forty-three (43) SEU SRAM's and 14 Total Dose MOSFET's passed the hermeticity and final electrical tests and were delivered to LL

Exploring new approaches and applications for multi-scale porous UHTCS

The control of processing conditions is key to achieve the desire amount, size and shape of porosity in materials for any application, including extreme applications. However, when particles with irregular shape, large size or differences in surface chemistry are to be used, as it happens for UHTCs, finding the right processing technique becomes crucial to ensure the desired properties, especially when there is not information about the actual performance in the application. This work describes how these challenges were overcome to develop multi-scale porous UHTCs for high temperature insulation as a case study. The exhaustive control of interparticle forces and understanding interaction between additives and powder surfaces resulted in multi-scale highly porous ceramics using different processing routes (replica, sacrificial fillers, particle stabilized foams plus gelcasting, ice templating and partial sintering, (Figure 1)). These colloidal techniques can render the required thermal conductivity across the component with a combination of different tailored porosities. Additionally, large complex-shape components with the same customized porous microstructure were prepared. Please click Additional Files below to see the full abstract
