The Tell-Tale “Heart”: Determining “Fair” Use of Unpublished Texts

Copyright laws require that courts consider at least four factors in determining whether a quotation or close paraphrase of another\u27s unpublished work without permission falls under fair use. Several cases involving fairuse are discussed

Cartographie d’un parcours spirituel: le symbole de l’alimentation dans l’oeuvre de J. D. Salinger

Existe un sistema de símbolos en la obra de Salinger cuya identificación no se presenta claramente y de manera puntual para el crítico, pues debe ser considerado en todas sus manifestaciones a lo largo de la narrativa salingeriana. Este símbolo se construye a partir del papel que cumple la comida en las distintas obras del autor, distinguiendo claramente dos grupos de símbolos relacionados: 1. La comida como símbolo positivo que brinda comunión espiritual, y 2. La comida como símbolo negativo que representa un espíritu colmado de los valores del mundo material, por lo que el vómito se presenta a menudo como símbolo de una actividad purgativa. En este trabajo se pretende realizar una cartografía del símbolo de la alimentación en la obra de J.D. Salinger a partir de sus manifestaciones simbólicas en la superficie textual, buscaremos interpretar sus diversas funciones significativas.There is a symbolic system in Salinger’s work whose identification is unclear and appears inaccurately to the critic, for it hasn’t been considered in all its manifestations throughout Salinger’s narrative. This system is built on the role played by food in the author’s different works, making a distinction between two groups of symbols: 1. Food as positive spiritual symbol that provides spiritual communion, and 2. Food as negative symbol representing a spirit filled with the values of a material world, for which vomit is often presented as symbol of purgative activity. In this paper we will attempt to make a mapping (or cartography) of the feeding symbolism in the work of J.D. Salinger. From its symbolic manifestations on the textual surface, we will seek to interpret its various signifying functions.Il existe un système de symboles dans l’œuvre de Salinger que le critique ne peut ni facilement ni précisément identifier. En effet, il convient d’étudier toutes ses manifestations dans l’ensemble de l’œuvre de l’auteur. Ce symbole se construit à partir du rôle joué par la nourriture chez Salinger. Nous pouvons distinguer deux groupes de symboles reliés entre eux : 1. La nourriture comme symbole positif offrant une communion spirituelle et 2. La nourriture comme que symbole négatif représentant un esprit habité par les valeurs du monde matériel. Dans ce contexte, le vomissement est fréquemment perçu comme symbole d’une activité purgative. Dans ce travail, nous voulons faire une cartographie de la symbolique de l’alimentation dans l’œuvre de J.D. Salinger. A partir de ses manifestations symboliques dans le texte, nous tenterons d’interpréter ses diverses fonctions significatives.Fil: Lencina, Eva Verónica.

Curing Sinus Headaches and Tying Law: An Empirical Analysis of Bundling Decongestants and Pain Relievers

We apply and extend the cost-based approach to bundling and tying under competition developed in Evans and Salinger (2004) to over-the-counter pain relievers and cold medicines. We document that consumers pay much less for tablets with multiple ingredients than they would if they bought tablets with each ingredient separately. We then decompose the sources of these savings into marginal cost savings and a component that reflects fixed costs of product offerings. The analysis both documents substantial economies of bundling and illustrates the sort of cost analysis that is necessary for understanding tying.

A Generalized Preferential Attachment Model for Business Firms Growth Rates: I. Empirical Evidence

We introduce a model of proportional growth to explain the distribution $P(g)$ of business firm growth rates. The model predicts that $P(g)$ is Laplace in the central part and depicts an asymptotic power-law behavior in the tails with an exponent $\zeta=3$. Because of data limitations, previous studies in this field have been focusing exclusively on the Laplace shape of the body of the distribution. We test the model at different levels of aggregation in the economy, from products, to firms, to countries, and we find that the its predictions are in good agreement with empirical evidence on both growth distributions and size-variance relationships.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

The effects of climate change and variation in New Zealand: An assessment using the CLIMPACTS system

Along with a need to better understand the climate and biophysical systems of New Zealand, the need to develop an improved capacity for evaluating possible changes in climate and their effects on the New Zealand environment has been recognised. Since the middle of 1993 the CLIMPACTS programme, has been focused on the development of such a capacity, in the first instance for the agricultural sector. the goals of this present assessment are: 1. To present current knowledge on likely scenarios of climate change and associated uncertainties in New Zealand; 2. To present current knowledge, based on quantitative analyses using a consistent set of scenarios, on the likely effects of climate change on a range of agricultural and horticultural crops of economic importance; 3. To demonstrate, by way of this report and the associated technical report, the capacity that has been developed for ongoing assessments of this kind in New Zealand. This report has been prepared for both the science and policy communities in New Zealand. There are two main components: 1. The detailed findings of the assessment, presented in a series of chapters; 2. An annex, which contains technical details on models used in the assessment

Vertical mergers that eliminate double markups are procompetitive

Assuming that oligopolistic downstream firms take intermediate goods prices as given and that upstream and integrated firms choose their quantities first and simultaneously, this note shows that vertical mergers between upstream and downstream firms are procompetitive.Vertical integration
