Application of the Rule against Perpetuities to Powers of Appointment: Ohio Style
Of all the instruments available to a donor wishing to transfer property, none has the versatility of the power of appointment. The transfer of legal title to property combined with the creation of a power of appointment rids the donor of ownership of the property and provides the donee of the power with the flexibility to apportion the property in accordance with future needs and events arising long after the time of such transfer. This flexibility is often unavailable even in a carefully drafted trust which does not contain powers of appointment. A trustee with power to invade principal or to spray income among a class of beneficiaries can control somewhat the eventual distribution, but the identity of the beneficiaries must be definite, at least as to such class, or the trust will fail for lack of a cestui que trust. This is not the case with a power of appointment. The donor of a power can postpone until well after his death a final determination of both the amount of the gift and the identity of the recipient. The outcome of future events can thus be taken into consideration before ownership finally vests

Molecular Actuator: Redox-Controlled Clam-Like Motion in a Bichromophoric Electron Donor
The one-electron oxidation of tetramethoxydibenzobicyclo[4.4.1]undecane (4) prompts it to undergo a clam-like electromechanical actuation into a cofacially Ï-stacked conformer as established by (i) electrochemical analysis, (ii) by the observation of the intense charge-resonance transition in the near IR region in its cation radical spectrum, and (iii) by X-ray crystallographic characterization of the isolated cation radical salt (4+âą SbCl6â)
Restructure and Reform: Products-Liability Law in North Carolina
This Article suggests that, although previous revisions to the North Carolina Products Liability Act brought progress, more revisions are needed, and these revisions will be best accomplished by incorporating additional measures into the act, especially those that have gained wide acceptance elsewhere. Part I of this Article provides a brief introduction to the early development of products liability law. Part I.A discusses tort-law influences in products liability, and Part I.B focuses on contributions from contract law. Parts II.A and II.B briefly describe MUPLA and the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Products Liability, respectively. Part III discusses the current state of products-liability law in North Carolina and suggests a number of proposed improvements to North Carolinaâs products-liability act
HST Observations of the Host Galaxy of GRB970508
We report on observations of the field of GRB~970508 made in early August
1998, 454 days after outburst, with the STIS CCD camera onboard the Hubble
Space Telescope. The images, taken in open filter (50CCD) mode, clearly reveal
the presence of a galaxy which was obscured in earlier (June 1997) HST images
by emission from the optical transient (OT). The galaxy is regular in shape:
after correcting for the HST/STIS PSF, it is well-fitted by an exponential disk
with a scale length of 0."046 +/- 0."006 and an ellipticity of 0.70 +/- 0.07.
All observations are marginally consistent with a continuous decline in OT
emission as t^{-1.3} beginning two days after outburst; however, we find no
direct evidence in the image for emission from the OT, and the surface
brightness profile of the galaxy is most regular if we assume that the OT
emission is negligible, suggesting that the OT may have faded more rapidly at
late times than is predicted by the power-law decay. Due to the wide bandwidth
of the STIS clear mode, the estimated magnitude of the galaxy is dependent on
the galaxy spectrum that is assumed. Using colors obtained from late-time
ground-based observations to constrain the spectrum, we find V = 25.4 +/- 0.15,
a few tenths of a magnitude brighter than earlier ground-based estimates that
were obtained by observing the total light of the galaxy and the OT and then
subtracting the estimated OT brightness assuming it fades as a single
power-law. This again suggests that the OT may have faded faster at late time
than the power-law predicts. The position of the OT agrees with that of the
isophotal center of the galaxy to 0."01. This remarkable agreement raises the
possibility that the GRB may have been associated with either an active
galactic nucleus or a nuclear starburst.Comment: Submitted to the Astrophysical Journal (Letters). Thirteen pages,

Star Formation in Emission-Line Galaxies Between Redshifts of 0.8 and 1.6
Optical spectra of 14 emission-line galaxies representative of the 1999
NICMOS parallel grism Ha survey of McCarthy et al. are presented. Of the 14, 9
have emission lines confirming the redshifts found in the grism survey. The
higher resolution of our optical spectra improves the redshift accuracy by a
factor of 5. The [O II]/Ha values of our sample are found to be more than two
times lower than expected from Jansen et al. This [O II]/Ha ratio discrepancy
is most likely explained by additional reddening in our Ha-selected sample [on
average, as much as an extra E(B-V) = 0.6], as well as to a possible stronger
dependence of the [O II]/Ha ratio on galaxy luminosity than is found in local
galaxies. The result is that star formation rates (SFRs) calculated from [O
II]3727 emission, uncorrected for extinction, are found to be on average 4 +/-
2 times lower than the SFRs calculated from Ha emission. Classification of
emission-line galaxies as starburst or Seyfert galaxies based on comparison of
the ratios [O II]/Hb and [Ne III]3869/Hb is discussed. New Seyfert 1
diagnostics using the Ha line luminosity, H-band absolute magnitude, and Ha
equivalent widths are also presented. One galaxy is classified as a Seyfert 1
based on its broad emission lines, implying a comoving number density for
Seyfert 1s of 2.5{+5.9, -2.1} times 10^{-5} Mpc^{-3}. This commoving number
density is a factor of 2.4{+5.5,-2.0} times higher than estimated by other
surveys.Comment: 51 pages, 18 figures; Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical
Journal; Revised version with minor changes and an additional reference which
gives further support to our conclusion
Organisational change and the computerisation of British and Spanish savings banks, circa 1965-1985
In this article we explore organisational changes associated with the computarization of British savings banks while making a running comparison with developments in Spain. This international comparison addresses the evolution of the same organisational form in two distinct competitive environments in the late 20th century. Changes in regulation and technological developments (particularly applications of information technology) are said to be responsible for enhancing competitiveness of retail finance. Archival research on the evolution of savings banks helps to ascertain how, prior to competitive changes taking place, participants in bank markets had to develop capabilities to compete. Moreover, assess the response of collaborative agreements to opportunities opened by technological change (in particular resolve apparent scale disadvantages to contest bank markets). Of particular interest are choices made between applications of computer technology to redefine the relation between head office and retail branches as well as between staff at retail branches and customers.comparative financial markets, United Kingdom, Spain, market structure, technological change, regulatory change, savings banks, banks, TSB, cajas de ahorro
