Damned to the Inferno? A New Vision of Lawyers at the Dawning of the Millennium

This Article seeks to explain the negative perception the legal profession and lawyers have in the eyes of the American public. Disregarding common answers such as the disproportionate amount of influence lawyers have or high salaries and extravagant lifestyles, this Article argues that a cultural shift has led many Americans to see the law as an arbitrary device. Consequently, this belief is reinforced by lawyers and and perpetuated by law schools, leading to the negative perception of the legal profession. In the process, the Article addresses five main issues: the definition and purpose of the law, the republican theory of lawyering, the realities and effectiveness of modern day law school, whether a republican theory of lawyering is in line with American realities, and prescriptions for the future

Gravitropism in plants: Hydraulics and wall growth properties of responding cells

Gravitropism is the asymmetrical alteration of plant growth in response to a change in the gravity vector, with the typical result that stems grow up and roots grow down. The gravity response is important for plants because it enables them to grow their aerial parts in a mechanically stable (upright) position and to develop their roots and leaves to make efficient use of soil nutrients and sunlight. The elucidation of gravitropic responses will tell much about how gravity exerts its morphogenetic effects on plants and how plants regulate their growth at the cellular and molecular levels

Integration of a generalized H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonian

The generalized H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonian $H=1/2(P_X^2+P_Y^2+c_1X^2+c_2Y^2)+aXY^2-bX^3/3$ with an additional nonpolynomial term $\mu Y^{-2}$ is known to be Liouville integrable for three sets of values of $(b/a,c_1,c_2)$. It has been previously integrated by genus two theta functions only in one of these cases. Defining the separating variables of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations, we succeed here, in the two other cases, to integrate the equations of motion with hyperelliptic functions.Comment: LaTex 2e.

University of Missouri--Columbia 2011.With the rising demand for convenient foods, there usually comes a decrease in quality. Combining the work of food science with culinary arts may result in a food product that is both convenient and economic without having to sacrifice any sensory characteristics. In this study, a culinary arts inspired meal was modified using various food science methods, such as gelling properties, use of the lactoperoxidase system, sensory analysis, and food engineering. The result is a frozen three-course meal that can be cooked at home but can rival the quality of an up-scale restaurant
