Small Shop Dynamics: Time and Technology
Nearly invisible in the manufacturing industry hierarchy are those small manufacturers with fewer than 50 employees. These firms, labeled Small Shops, constitute a large percentage of manufacturers. This study focuses on the impact of technological innovation and time relative to the re-emergence of small shops as a competitive entity in the industrial hierarchy

Court Intervention, The Consent Decree, and The Century Freeway
The Glenn Anderson Freeway-Transitway (the Century Freeway or 1-105) an Los Angeles County, to cost over two billion dollars, traverses nine cities and the County of Los Angeles. At completion in 1993, the Century Freeway will be seventeen miles long, six lanes wide, contain areas for high occupancy vehicles and for rail transit; it will be landscaped and noise attenuated, and it will be surrounded by thousands of units of housing which are linked to its development

Court Intervention, the Consent Decree and the Century Freeway
In 1972, a lawsuit. Keith v, Volpe. stopped implementation of the Century Freeway project and resulted in an injunction. By that time approximately 18,000 people had been displaced from the Century Freeway corridor. By the terms of the lawsuit, the then Division of Highways was required to develop a formal environmental impact statement on the entire Century Freeway project and to carry our additional public hearings. In 1979 parties to the lawsuit entered into a consent decree, amended two years later, which laid out the terms under which-the project would go forward. This injunction and consent decree were employed during a period of considerable regulatory and social change which nationwide was affecting the completion of public works projects, highways in particular. The period of the Century Freeway's early years has been called the time of the freeway revolution. Whatever it is labelled, it provided a context for interpretation of and response to the Century Freeway lawsuit and consent decree. The context involved: - legal changes (environmental, transportation and housing law enactments, enhanced access to judicial review of administrative agency actions, codification of the gains of the civil rights movement); - social changes (increasing environmental awareness, the public interest law movement, demands for greater participation in the workplace by women and minorities); - economic and political changes (adoption of a federal Urban Initiatives Program, changing leadership at Caltrans, decreased gasoline tax revenues because of the Arab oil embargo and the use of fuel-efficient vehicles). This report presents the results of a two year study of the Century Freeway undertaken under a Research Technical Agreement between UCI and Caltrans

The polarization of Λ and Λ¯ hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sNN=200  GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild pT dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and pT dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.The polarization of and hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at = 200 GeV.
