Analogical Reasoning

This chapter from our book Legal Writing in Context aims to demystify analogical reasoning for law students

‘Time’ in tourism: ‘individual time’ and ‘social time’

The author does a review of the research into tourist activity and concludes that the particular character of tourist behaviour is reflected best in the study of time budgets. He proposes Max Weber's ideal-type method to be used in the analysis. In the conclusions to the article the author presents typical examples of qualitative time (recreation, holidays, tourism)

Judicial Selection and the Search for Middle Ground

This Article seeks to transcend perennial election versus appointment debates-including debates over campaign finance and the impact of dark money -by taking a closer look at why judicial selection is a contentious mess and discussing how it might be fixed. First, I present the case for elective and appointive systems. Second, I show that the arguments for each system are exaggerated or flawed.Third, I explore why it has been hard for proponents of each system to perceive and acknowledge those exaggerations and flaws, and propose ways to narrow the divide. Although the divide can and should be narrowed, I conclude that it cannot be eliminated altogether. Ultimately, which system is best will unavoidably turn on which selection system\u27s core values take precedence in a given state at a given time

Through Ancient Rings Thread Programming Strings

A new crystal structure of assembled subunits from the eukaryotic exosome complex gives insight into the interactions underpinning its various functions (Bonneau et al., 2009). Here, we focus on what the emerging structures tell us about the regulation of the exosome interactions with, and actions on, RNA

Geometry of N=4, d=1 nonlinear supermultiplet

We construct the general action for $N=4, d=1$ nonlinear supermultiplet including the most general interaction terms which depend on the arbitrary function $h$ obeying the Laplace equation on $S^3$. We find the bosonic field $B$ which depends on the components of nonlinear supermultiplet and transforms as a full time derivative under N=4 supersymmetry. The most general interaction is generated just by a Fayet-Iliopoulos term built from this auxiliary component. Being transformed through a full time derivative under $N=4, d=1$ supersymmetry, this auxiliary component $B$ may be dualized into a fourth scalar field giving rise to a four dimensional $N=4, d=1$ sigma-model. We analyzed the geometry in the bosonic sector and find that it is not a hyper-K\"ahler one. With a particular choice of the target space metric $g$ the geometry in the bosonic sector coincides with the one which appears in heterotic $(4,0)$ sigma-model in $d=2$.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX file, PACS: 11.30.Pb, 03.65.-

Risks of Offline Verify PIN on Contactless Cards

Contactless card payments are being introduced around the world al- lowing customers to use a card to pay for small purchases by simply placing the card onto the Point of Sale terminal. Contactless transactions do not require veri- fication of the cardholder’s PIN. However our research has found the redundant verify PIN functionality is present on the most commonly issued contactless credit and debit cards currently in circulation in the UK. This paper presents a plausible attack scenario which exploits contactless verify PIN to give unlimited attempts to guess the cardholder’s PIN without their knowledge. It also gives experimental data to demonstrate the practical viability of the attack as well as references to support our argument that contactless verify PIN is redundant functionality which compromises the security of payment cards and the cardholder
