    The Precautionary Principle and Radiation Protection

    Get PDF
    The authors examine the application of the precautionary principle through a case study of ionizing radiation control and suggest a reevaluation of current radiation safety standards and practices

    Judicial Notice and Deposition Practice in International Litigation

    Get PDF
    In view of statutory innovations in the areas of judicial notice of foreign law and depositions taken abroad, and the practical difficulties encountered under these statutes, this comment attempts a reevaluation of modern trends and needs

    The Genuine Cosmic Rosetta

    Get PDF
    Reexamination of general relativistic experimental results shows the universe is governed by Einstein's static-spacetime general relativity instead of Friedmann-Lemaitre expanding-spacetime general relativity. The absence of expansion redshifts in a static-spacetime universe suggests a reevaluation of the present cosmology is needed.Comment: 9 pages LaTeX, no figure

    The EEC-Mexican Agreement: Time for Reevaluation?

    Get PDF
    This Note argues that the EEC and Mexico should modify their current agreement. Part I examines the terms of the EEC-Mexican Agreement. Part II discusses the changing economic factors in the EEC and Mexico that dictate the need for a new agreement. Part III suggests modification of the EEC-Mexican Agreement to enhance the economic relationship between the EEC and Mexico. The Note concludes that the EEC, the second largest trading bloc in the world, should offer Mexico greater cooperation to enable Mexico to expand its non-petroleum exports and thereby modernize its industrial capacity. A new agreement with specific provisions designed to attain these goals would further the economic objectives not only of Mexico, but of the EEC as well

    Reevaluation of compressible-flow Preston tube calibrations

    Get PDF
    Revised zero-pressure-gradient, adiabatic wall skin-friction-balance data covering a Mach number range from 1.6 to 4.6 led to a reevaluation of existing compressible flow Preston tube calibration equations

    Critique [of The Use of the Terms Negro and Black to Include Persons of Native American Ancestry in Anglo North America by Jack D. Forbes]

    Get PDF
    In investigating the use of Negro and black to include persons of Native American ancestry, Jack D. Forbes brings together a large number of wide-ranging references on an elusive topic. The preliminary nature of Forbes\u27s study and the inevitably problematic status of the data make his work thus far more valuable in suggestive than definitive terms. For example, while the conclusions regarding practices in King Williams Parish, Virginia, in the early 18th century seem generally acceptable, a heavy dependence on given names such as Robin as clues to classification should probably be avoided (Robin is the diminutive of the common name Robert, and can be either masculine or feminine), but there is little question about the rather cavalier and arbitrary willingness of the power elite to impose names on their inferiors, names that reflect a complex mixture of assumptions, prejudices, and needs. This is simply to say that the critical reevaluation that Forbes calls for in closing is less difficult to engage in than the equally valuable empirical reevaluation

    Spontaneous CP Violation

    Get PDF
    In this talk I begin with some general discussion of the history of CP violation, then move on to aspects of the aspon model including the production of new particles at LHC, implications for B decay, generalized Cabibbo mixing and a reevaluation of kaon CP violation. Finally there is a summary.Comment: 5 pages Latex. Talk at Tropical Conference on Particles Physics and Cosmology. San Juan, Puerto Rico. April 1-7, 199
