DOMESTIC RELATIONS Alimony and Child Support Generally: Provide for Accident and Sickness Insurance Coverage for Children
The Act provides for a mechanism for the Department of Human Resources, the Department of Medical Assistance, or a custodial parent to require a support-paying parent\u27s employer to obtain court-ordered accident and sickness insurance on behalf of the parent\u27s child. The Act provides for criminal and civil penalties for any employer who does not abide by an enrollment order
A Study of the Phylogeny of the Anteoninae
A study of the biology of insect parasites and their relationships with that of their hosts offers a most attractive and productive field for research, and as yet, comparatively speaking, but little has been done in this field. This is particularly true with the Hymenoptera, and the writer has been interested in working out the biology of the Anteoninae, one of the parasitic groups of this order. These insects are parasitic on three families of the Homoptera, namely, the Cicadellidae, and Fulgoridae, commonly known as leafhoppers, and the Membracidae or treehoppers
Caribbean Coast Guard: A Regional Approach
For many Americans, pre-1980 thoughts of the Caribbean Basin\u27 were focused exclusively on tourism in an idyllic tropical paradise, While reality never matched that naive simplification, the US action in Grenada in October 1983 capped a series of events that graphically demonstrated the strategic importance of the Caribbean. Before that involvement, revolutionary upheavals in Nicaragua and Surinam; guerrilla movements in El Salvador, Guatemala and Colombia; the massive immigrations of Cubans and Haitians in 1980; the debt crisis of tlte Ilasin, and the persistent drumbeat of Cuban adverturism and propaganda already had focused US policy-level attention to a region long regarded as secure for American interests. Cynics will argue that Grenada represents a return to gu11boat diplomacy, characteristic of past US policy that has alternated between benign neglect and periodic, fitful unilateral interventions

CRIMES AND OFFENSES Crimes Against the Person: Provide for the Criminal Offense of Offering to Assist in the Commission of Suicide and Committing an Act in Furtherance Thereof
The Act provides criminal penalties for those who offer or hold themselves out to assist another person in the commission of suicide and commit an act in furtherance thereof. The Act also provides criminal penalties for anyone who overcomes the will of another person and thereby causes that person to commit or attempt to commit suicide. The Act exempts withholding or withdrawing medical care pursuant to a living will, a durable power of attorney, or a written do-not-resuscitate order
Competing mechanisms of stress-assisted diffusivity and stretch-activated currents in cardiac electromechanics
We numerically investigate the role of mechanical stress in modifying the
conductivity properties of the cardiac tissue and its impact in computational
models for cardiac electromechanics. We follow a theoretical framework recently
proposed in [Cherubini, Filippi, Gizzi, Ruiz-Baier, JTB 2017], in the context
of general reaction-diffusion-mechanics systems using multiphysics continuum
mechanics and finite elasticity. In the present study, the adapted models are
compared against preliminary experimental data of pig right ventricle
fluorescence optical mapping. These data contribute to the characterization of
the observed inhomogeneity and anisotropy properties that result from
mechanical deformation. Our novel approach simultaneously incorporates two
mechanisms for mechano-electric feedback (MEF): stretch-activated currents
(SAC) and stress-assisted diffusion (SAD); and we also identify their influence
into the nonlinear spatiotemporal dynamics. It is found that i) only specific
combinations of the two MEF effects allow proper conduction velocity
measurement; ii) expected heterogeneities and anisotropies are obtained via the
novel stress-assisted diffusion mechanisms; iii) spiral wave meandering and
drifting is highly mediated by the applied mechanical loading. We provide an
analysis of the intrinsic structure of the nonlinear coupling using
computational tests, conducted using a finite element method. In particular, we
compare static and dynamic deformation regimes in the onset of cardiac
arrhythmias and address other potential biomedical applications
Bionomics and control of the potato leafhopper, Empoasca mali Le Baron
The potato leafhopper (Empoassca mali, LeB) is the most serious insect pest affecting the potato crop in Iowa, and probably in the Mississippi valley. Thru its feeding activities, it produces a pathological condition in the leaves of many of its host plants which is characterized by a distortion of the leaf veins, especially near the tip and a yellowing of the tissue supplied by them around the margin and at the tip. Often this yellowing is followed by a necrosis of the leaf tissue. Especially is this true on the potato and with this plant the burning is accompanied by a rolling upward and inward of the leaf margin
Control of the Potato Leafhopper
Potato fields In Iowa for several years have suffered from burning, which has seriously cut the yield of this crop. The trouble has been called tlpburn. Its cause was unknown until recently, when It was discovered that It Is due chiefly to the potato leafhopper, a little green, fly-llke Insect that appears In enormous numbers during the summer. The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station has verified this connection between the leafhopper and tlpburn or hopperburn and control measures have been devised
