Section 17A(2) Objections To Discharge Filed By Small Loan Companies In Consumer Bankruptcies: A Practical Analysis

THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE of the Bankruptcy Act\u27 has been correctly characterized as being twofold: to distribute the bankrupt\u27s assets fairly among his creditors and to [Rielieve the honest debtor from the weight of oppressive indebtedness...,, thereby to accomplish the debtor\u27s economic rehabilitation. Problems arise, however, when the debtor has not been honest in his efforts to obtain money or property on credit

On the Birth of Isolas

Isolas are isolated, closed curves of solution branches of nonlinear problems. They have been observed to occur in the buckling of elastic shells, the equilibrium states of chemical reactors and other problems. In this paper we present a theory to describe analytically the structure of a class of isolas. Specifically, we consider isolas that shrink to a point as a parameter τ of the problem, approaches a critical value τ_0. The point is referred to as an isola center. Equations that characterize the isola centers are given. Then solutions are constructed in a neighborhood of the isola centers by perturbation expansions in a small parameter ε that is proportional to (τ-τo), with a appropriately determined. The theory is applied to a chemical reactor problem

Ohio\u27s Similar Acts Statute : Its Uses and Abuses

Notwithstanding the lack of uniform analysis of the Act, this article should isolate the main areas of confusion and hopefully provide some food for thought which may in itself help to resolve the ambiguities of the statute. Moreover, the discussion offered herein may prompt the recently established Ohio Evidence Rules Committee to devote some time to the formulation of a clearer evidentiary statement on prosecutorial use of other acts testimony in criminal cases

Adversary Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings: Impeachment of Juvenile Defendants by the Use of Previous Adjudications of Delinquency

IN ADULT CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS, any defendant who wishes to testify\u27 faces certain risks when he steps into the witness box. The risks such a defendant engenders certainly include the possibility of having his prior criminal convictions brought up by the prosecution, for purposes of impeaching his testimony. In essence, the defendant who takes the stand, like any other witness, places his reputation for truth and veracity into issue. The theory behind this general rule emanates from the belief that the defendant\u27s testimony can be no more credible than the defendant himself. Therefore, the prosecution is given the right, under certain limitations, to attack the credibility of the defendant and his testimony by inquiring into his past criminal conduct

Changing Farming Systems – Financial Implications for Farming Businesses

Future prosperity of farming businesses depends not only on immediate prospects, but also on the capability to adapt to changing circumstances. In looking to the future, farm managers need to assess where the current farming system is taking them, and whether changing to an alternative farming system might be more profitable. There are various techniques for assessing the profitability of alternative farming systems, but frequently the cost of transition is overlooked. The financial consequences of transition to a new farming system are assessed for two case study farms using a spreadsheet tool (STEP), developed by the authors. The tool assists farm managers in assessing the risk of transition strategies as well as comparing rotations.Farm Management,

Propagating mode-I fracture in amorphous materials using the continuous random network (CRN) model

We study propagating mode-I fracture in two dimensional amorphous materials using atomistic simulations. We used the continuous random network (CRN) model of an amorphous material, creating samples using a two dimensional analogue of the WWW (Wooten, Winer & Weaire) Monte-Carlo algorithm. For modeling fracture, molecular-dynamics simulations were run on the resulting samples. The results of our simulations reproduce the main experimental features. In addition to achieving a steady-state crack under a constant driving displacement (which had not yet been achieved by other atomistic models for amorphous materials), the runs show micro-branching, which increases with driving, transitioning to macro-branching for the largest drivings. Beside the qualitative visual similarity of the simulated cracks to experiment, the simulation also succeeds in explaining the experimentally observed oscillations of the crack velocity
