    Protection of the National Security and Preservation of Basic American Rights: Comments on the Report of the Commission on Government Security

    On June 21, 1957 the Commission on Government Security, established by joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives, filed its report with the President and the Congress. Legislation to implement the recommendations contained in the report was introduced both in the House of Representatives and the Senate sometime after the report was filed, but because other important controversial matters were then pending and because adjournment was imminent, no action was taken thereon during the first session of the 85th Congress. However, since legislation based upon the report will probably be introduced at the second session of the 85th Congress, which began in January of 1958, some comment on the conclusions reached by the Commission may prove to be of interest to the Bar at this time

    State Sovereign Immunity in Suits to Enforce Federal Rights

    Get PDF
    This Article attempts to clarify the doctrine of sovereign immunity and its exceptions in its application to federal question cases. First, section II identifies the concept of state sovereign immunity. Section III discusses the liability of state officials, the doctrine principally used to avoid state immunity. Although the cases in section III involve non-federal claims, they are important because of their pervasiveness in the non-federal area and because they have often been applied without close analysis in federal question cases. Section IV, the heart of this Article, discusses the application of the doctrine of state sovereign immunity in federal question cases

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Limited data are available to evaluate the accuracy of frozen section analysis and ultrasound- guided core needle biopsy of the breast.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>In a retrospective analysis data of 120 consecutive handheldultrasound- guided 14- gauge automated core needle biopsies (CNB) in 109 consecutive patients with breast lesions between 2006 and 2007 were evaluated.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In our outpatient clinic120 CNB were performed. In 59/120 (49.2%) cases we compared histological diagnosis on frozen sections with those on paraffin sections of CNB and finally with the result of open biopsy. Of the cases 42/59 (71.2%) were proved to be malignant and 17/59 (28.8%) to be benign in the definitive histology. 2/59 (3.3%) biopsies had a false negative frozen section result. No false positive results of the intraoperative frozen section analysis were obtained, resulting in a sensitivity, specificity and positive predicting value (PPV) and negative predicting value (NPV) of 95%, 100%, 100% and 90%, respectively. Histological and morphobiological parameters did not show up relevance for correct frozen section analysis. In cases of malignancy time between diagnosis and definitive treatment could not be reduced due to frozen section analysis.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The frozen section analysis of suspect breast lesions performed by CNB displays good sensitivity/specificity characteristics. Immediate investigations of CNB is an accurate diagnostic tool and an important step in reducing psychological strain by minimizing the period of uncertainty in patients with breast tumor.</p

    Stress, alcohol and infection during early development: a brief review of common outcomes and mechanisms.

    Although stress is an adaptive physiological response to deal with adverse conditions, its occurrence during the early stages of life, such as infancy or adolescence, can induce adaptations in multiple physiological systems, including the reproductive axis, the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis, the limbic cortex and the immune system. These early changes have consequences in adult life, as seen in the physiological and behavioural responses to stress. This review highlights the impact of several stress challenges incurred at various stages of development (perinatal, juvenile, adolescent periods) and how the developmental timing of early‐life stress confers unique physiological adaptations that may persist across the lifespan. In doing so, we emphasise how intrinsic sex differences in the stress response might contribute to sex‐specific vulnerabilities, the molecular processes underlying stress in the adult, and potential therapeutic interventions to mitigate the effects of early stage stress, including the novel molecular mechanism of SUMOylation as a possible key target of HPA regulation during early‐life stress.Fil: Surkin, Pablo Nicolas.

    High quality anti-relaxation coating material for alkali atom vapor cells

    Full text link
    We present an experimental investigation of alkali atom vapor cells coated with a high quality anti-relaxation coating material based on alkenes. The prepared cells with single compound alkene based coating showed the longest spin relaxation times which have been measured up to now with room temperature vapor cells. Suggestions are made that chemical binding of a cesium atom and an alkene molecule by attack to the C=C bond plays a crucial role in such improvement of anti-relaxation coating quality

    Nonlinear equation for curved stationary flames

    Get PDF
    A nonlinear equation describing curved stationary flames with arbitrary gas expansion θ=ρfuel/ρburnt\theta = \rho_{{\rm fuel}}/\rho_{{\rm burnt}}, subject to the Landau-Darrieus instability, is obtained in a closed form without an assumption of weak nonlinearity. It is proved that in the scope of the asymptotic expansion for θ1,\theta \to 1, the new equation gives the true solution to the problem of stationary flame propagation with the accuracy of the sixth order in θ1.\theta - 1. In particular, it reproduces the stationary version of the well-known Sivashinsky equation at the second order corresponding to the approximation of zero vorticity production. At higher orders, the new equation describes influence of the vorticity drift behind the flame front on the front structure. Its asymptotic expansion is carried out explicitly, and the resulting equation is solved analytically at the third order. For arbitrary values of θ,\theta, the highly nonlinear regime of fast flow burning is investigated, for which case a large flame velocity expansion of the nonlinear equation is proposed.Comment: 29 pages 4 figures LaTe
