BENEFIT CAPTURE: EVIDENCE FROM A RIVER CORRIDOR BENEFIT COST EVALUATION

The concept of and evidence for benefit capture are explored in a benefit cost analysis of selected water quality and infrastructure improvements in the Muskingum River corridor of South Eastern Ohio. Property tax revenues and CVM bid functions are estimated and implications for benefit capture and further research are developed.Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

To Stay at Home: Analysis of Rights and Recommendations on Procedures for Persons Receiving Mental Health Services in the Community

Before the pendulum swings back to the use of institutions as the primary treatment modality for persons with severe mental illness, there should be a re-examination of the alternatives available to community care providers to ensure compliance with treatment outside of the hospital. This article will focus on the alternatives available in the Ohio mental health system, which is fundamentally oriented towards community-based treatment, and the effects of this orientation

An App for Third Party Beneficiaries

Every year, more than 100 reported court opinions consider the question of whether an outsider can sue for damages under a contract made by others-in part because the law is so ambiguous. While contract enforcement by a third party is controlled largely by the facts of the particular case, it also materially depends upon the relevant legal standards. At present, not just the standards, but also the reasons for these standards, are unclear. Eighty years ago, Lon Fuller, a professor teaching contracts at a then-Southern law school, and William Perdue, a student at that school, significantly clarified and improved decision making on damages issues in contract law by proposing a new vocabulary and analytical model. The senior author of this Article is a professor at a Southern law school, but he does not need an academic Lloyd Bentsen to tell him that he is no Lon Fuller, and the younger co-authors hold no William Perdue illusion, given that Mr. Perdue was the father-in-law of their law school dean. Nonetheless, we believe that the new vocabulary and analytical model we are proposing would clarify and improve decision-making on third party contract rights

Strangelets: Who is Looking, and How?

It has been over 30 years since the first suggestion that the true ground state of cold hadronic matter might be not nuclear matter but rather strange quark matter (SQM). Ever since, searches for stable SQM have been proceeding in various forms and have observed a handful of interesting events but have neither been able to find compelling evidence for stable strangelets nor to rule out their existence. I will survey the current status and near future of such searches with particular emphasis on the idea of SQM from strange star collisions as part of the cosmic ray flux.Comment: Talk given at International Conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter, 2006. 8 pages. 1 figur

A Multi-Faceted Approach to Enabling Large-Scale Science in a Microsat Constellation

The Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a constellation of microsatellites that combines advances in several areas of technology enabling the use of simple imaging instrumentation to measure, to-date, inaccessible aspects of the outer corona and solar wind. The primary PUNCH measurement is brightness and polarization state of light scattered by electrons entrained in solar wind features. This measurement is made possible in the context of a small explorer budget by leveraging a combination of three key elements: (a) a constellation of four small satellites conducting synchronized observations, (b) availability of low-cost off-the-shelf components, and (c) advanced and rigorous science data processing that enables the four microsats to produce 3D images as a single virtual observatory. This paper will discuss the contribution of each of these key enablers, and present the overall status of this NASA Small Explorer mission scheduled for launch in 2025
