Partnership law in the twenty-first century

Discusses reforms to partnership law that have been proposed by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission in their 'Partnership Law: a Joint Consultation Paper', and considers whether the reforms are necessary or not and what effect they are likely to have on the qualities of flexibility, informality and privacy that presently characterize general partnerships. Examines, therefore, proposed reforms in the following areas: the setting up of a partnership (particularly the proposal for a system of registration), the introduction of separate legal personality (and its effect on, inter alia, continuity, land and other property ownership contracts and the execution of deeds), and reforms affecting the relationships of partners (for example, the proposal to increase statutory duties owed to the partnership and partners). Provides the author's own recommendations for reform and concludes that, although most of the proposed reforms (notably the introduction of separate legal personality) are justifiable and should not have an adverse impact on flexibility, informality and privacy, other proposals, in particular registration and increased statutory duties, would have adverse effects on these qualities and should not be adopted

Preserving Faculty Research: University of Nebraska-Lincoln Data Repository

Data curation has become an integral requirement for research. To address increasing requirements by funders for comprehensive data management the University Libraries provides data curation services ranging from consultations to creating the interface for a campus wide data repository. Additionally, the Libraries have established a new campus wide data policy to build awareness about the need for data management, preservation and access. To promote open access the policy and data repository interface encourage researchers to make their data publicly available—if possible. The presentation will begin with the development of the Libraries data curation services. Including a demonstration of the Data Repository and provide detail regarding researchers’ options retention, access, rights, and metadata for data deposits. The promotion of this online tool on campus, authenticating researchers, and the integration of the tool with other UNL resources will also be discussed

Notes on the theory of planar electric networks

The primary purpose of these notes is to sketch an approach to the elementary algebraic theory of planar electric networks which conduces to a formal dual correspondence between the so-called mesh and nodal representations of planar networks that is complete in every respects It is also shown that if general variables are employed in the analysis of a network the number of voltage or current equations that serve to describe the network is infinite. Finally, it is demonstrated that the impedance or admittance matrix of a passive network is not necessarily symmetrical

Communicating Science with Little (or No) Budget: Design Rules and Tricks for the Non-Artist

This presentation is for the self-proclaimed non-artist scientist who wants to communicate science effectively but has little (or no) budget to hire professionals to create and edit images (artwork, tables, graphs), websites, presentation slides, and publications. For this scientist, learning basic easy-to-apply design rules and tricks can facilitate the preparation of scientific material. The speaker has experience designing formal and informal presentations, creating videos and podcasts, working with graphic designers, and designing websites. The speaker will provide tips and suggestions based on her own experiences, collaborations, and acting as a consultant for informal science communication projects. Moreover, strategies for using advanced Google Slides and PowerPoint options, graphic design, and universal design principles (including accessibility) will be shared. Finally, finding and using open access images and other creative ways to maximize your budget will conclude this talk
