Empirical Legal Studies Before 1940: A Bibliographic Essay

The modern empirical legal studies movement has well-known antecedents in the law and society and law and economics traditions of the latter half of the 20th century. Less well known is the body of empirical research on legal phenomena from the period prior to World War II. This paper is an extensive bibliographic essay that surveys the English language empirical legal research from approximately 1940 and earlier. The essay is arranged around the themes in the research: criminal justice, civil justice (general studies of civil litigation, auto accident litigation and compensation, divorce, small claims, jurisdiction and procedure, civil juries), debt and bankruptcy, banking, appellate courts, legal needs, legal profession (including legal education), and judicial staffing and selection. Accompanying the essay is an extensive bibliography of research articles, books, and reports

Folder 20, Correspondence, Donaldson, Feb. 1930 - Feb. 1931

Captain Robert Goldthwaite Carter (October 29, 1845 - January 4, 1936) served as an officer in the U.S Cavalry, both during the Civil War and the Indian Wars. He received the Medal of Honor for single-handedly holding off a Comanche raiding party in Blanco Canyon near the Brazos River (Texas) on October 10, 1871. The citation reads: "Held the left of the line with a few men during the charge of a large body of Indians, after the right of the line had retreated, and by delivering a rapid fire succeeded in checking the enemy until other troops came to the rescue." Carter authored several books, the most notable of which pertaining to this collection being On the Border with Mackenzie (1935). It documented his service under Colonel Ranald Mackenzie in northern Mexico in the late 1870s, and about his service more generally during the Indian Wars.The Robert G. Carter Papers consists of correspondence between Captain Carter and researchers, manuscript publishers, family members, and others. It bulks with correspondence about On the Border with Mackenzie (1935), but also documents discussions about his other manuscripts, concerning their contents as well as their sale and distribution. A small amount of correspondence with his family is present, as are correspondence relating to his finances. Lastly, two folders of material consist exclusively of letters exchanged with Clifford B. Jones of the Swenson Cattle Company (and the Spur Ranch) and Freeport Sulphur Company

Atomic Energy Commission Reports

Abstract: The thermal distortion of a Y-shaped hafnium control rod heated by arrays of individually controlled radiation heaters was studied. The large axial and radial temperature gradients specified for this control rod were easily obtained with the radiation-heating method. The distortion, as measured with dial indicators, amounted to a 2-mil movement of the free end of the rod in the direction of the coolest blade

High-temperature irradiation of metals and graphite in flowing helium /

As part of the coolant-core evaluation studies in an early phase of the Maritime Gas-Cooled Reactor program, nickel. K-Monel, niobium-1 wt.% zirconium, and graphite were irradiated in a convective flow of helium. A capsule of novel design was used to study the corrosion of the metals at 1500 and 960 ction prod- F in a 243-hr BRR experiment. Four heliumfilled quartz tori, containing the specimens, were encapsulated in a stainless steel capsule. A convective flow of helium was maintained in the closed tori by heating one leg of each torus to 1500 and the other at 960-F. Zirconium foilwas placed in two of the tori to getter gaseous impurities. No attack of the nickel and niobium-1 wt.% zirconium was observed at either temperature. Metallographic examination did show a 1 to 2.5- mil attack of the K-Monel at 1500 ction prod- F in a torus containing no getter.

Proteogenomic characterization of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with poor patient survival. Toward understanding the underlying molecular alterations that drive PDAC oncogenesis, we conducted comprehensive proteogenomic analysis of 140 pancreatic cancers, 67 normal adjacent tissues, and 9 normal pancreatic ductal tissues. Proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and glycoproteomic analyses were used to characterize proteins and their modifications. In addition, whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, methylation, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq) were performed on the same tissues to facilitate an integrated proteogenomic analysis and determine the impact of genomic alterations on protein expression, signaling pathways, and post-translational modifications. To ensure robust downstream analyses, tumor neoplastic cellularity was assessed via multiple orthogonal strategies using molecular features and verified via pathological estimation of tumor cellularity based on histological review. This integrated proteogenomic characterization of PDAC will serve as a valuable resource for the community, paving the way for early detection and identification of novel therapeutic targets. [Display omitted] •Proteogenomic characterization reveals the functional impact of genomic alterations•Phosphoproteomics uncovers putative therapeutic targets downstream of KRAS•Multiomics links endothelial cell remodeling and glycolysis to immune exclusion•Proteomics and glycoproteomics reveal candidates for early detection or intervention Comparative multiomic analyses of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumors with normal adjacent and pancreatic ductal tissues provide insight into genomic, proteomic, and immune dysregulation in driving disease
