    Risky Business: Breakfast Sandwiches, Course of Employment, and Revisiting Missouri Workers’ Compensation Law

    Get PDF
    Since its inception, the Missouri Workers’ Compensation scheme has presented interesting and complex problems regarding workplace risk allocation. To avoid workplace injuries, employees and employers engage in significant preventative behaviors. One such action by employers is employee monitoring. Clearly, however, constant workplace monitoring is not feasible. This inherent limitation leads to this Note’s initial inquiry: at what point do the actions of employees taken out of sight of their employers create compensable claims under the existing Missouri Workers’ Compensation system, and what inefficiencies may result from requiring that employers provide compensation for the injuries that arise from such actions? Boothe v. DISH Network, Inc. provided a new perspective on this question while evaluating an employee’s claim deriving from a vehicular accident

    A Contractual Dilemma: Where Arbitration Agreements and Delegation Provisions Collide

    Get PDF
    Interpretation of arbitration agreements continues to present unique and challenging issues in Missouri law. Arbitration is a mainstay of the wider field of alternative dispute resolution, seeking to merge the competing interests of would-be litigants in a speedier, less expensive, less formalized environment. Delegation provisions, however, serve as an additional analytical hurdle in determining when and what disputes can be rightfully sent to arbitration. At first glance, a seemingly irreconcilable dilemma is presented. Must assent to the arbitration agreement, and thus the delegation provision, exist before the dispute will be sent to arbitration? Or is the simple appearance of a delegation provision, combined with an absence of an explicit challenge to that same provision, per se sufficient to send the arbitrability dispute to the arbitrator

    Germination responses of a dry sclerophyll forest soil-stored seedbank to fire related cues

    Get PDF
    Fire is an integral component of many ecosystems worldwide. Many plant species require fire-related cues, primarily heat and smoke, to trigger germination. Despite the importance of this process, the responses of many Australian species to these cues are unknown. Without this knowledge fire management strategies may be developed that are inappropriate for individual species and vegetation communities. In this study we examined the responses of a dry sclerophyll forest seed bank to heat and smoke germination cues. Analysis was possible for 48 taxa within the soil seedbank with 34 of these showing a response to one or both of the germination cues. 10 species responded to the heat treatment, 11 species responded to the smoke treatment and 13 species responded to both the heat and smoke treatments. Germination cues acted independently for all species considered. Results in this study were consistent with published reports for most species, although some differences were seen at the species and genus level. The study highlights the importance of fire-related cues in enhancing germination of a large proportion of the species occurring in dry sclerophyll forests

    Phytotoxicity of Insecticides and Acaricides to Anthuriums

    Get PDF
    Insecticides and acaricides are commonly used on anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum Andre) to produce marketable flowers. A limiting factor in using certain insecticides and acaricides on anthurium is phytotoxicity, or plant injuries resulting from pesticide applications. Phytotoxic responses differ among anthurium cultivars; an insecticide that is safe on one cultivar may not be safe on another. The purpose of this study was to test certain registered and experimental insecticides and acaricides for phytotoxicity to anthuriums

    Doubly Differential Cross Sections for Proton-Impact Ionization of Argon

    Get PDF
    Proton-impact-ionization cross sections for argon which are differential in the energy and angle of the ejected electron have been calculated within the framework of the Born approximation using both Hartree-Slater and Hartree-Fock wave functions for the ejected electron. Results of the two types of calculations are compared with each other and with experiment. Differential cross sections for all five sub shells of argon are examined and particular attention is given to some interesting features of the K-shell cross sections. The range of applicability of the theoretical models is discussed

    Eye movements of students with learning disabilities in reading: A study of problem-solving strategies

    Get PDF
    In this exploratory study, eye movements of students with and without a learning disability in reading were recorded as they solved a set of third grade science problems. The recorded eye-gaze information included location of eye-gaze fixation on a computer screen, duration of fixation, the path of eye movement, and duration between fixations. The results revealed statistically significant differences in latent response time, question-zone fixation time, total fixations and correct responses
