Corporate Real Estate: A Course Outline and Rationale

The topic of corporate or business real estate as a college course has been widely discussed but the specific nature and content of such a course needs to be specified. This article is an attempt to construct a course outline for such a course, and it briefly discusses the major topics that could be presented in a corporate real estate course. The outline and the course are designed to provide flexibility in topic coverage, student background and instructor preferences toward the many topics. The authors also offer their suggestion concerning the positioning of this course in a real estate curriculum.

Coulomb-Nuclear Coupling and Interference Effects in the Breakup of Halo Nuclei

Nuclear and Coulomb breakup of halo nuclei have been treated often as incoherent processes and structure information have been extracted from their study. The aim of this paper is to clarify whether interference effects and Coulomb-nuclear couplings are important and how they could modify the simple picture previously used. We calculate the neutron angular and energy distributions by using first order perturbation theory for the Coulomb amplitude and an eikonal approach for the nuclear breakup. This allows for a simple physical interpretation of the results which are mostly analytical. Our formalism includes the effect of the nuclear distortion of the neutron wave function on the Coulomb amplitude. This leads to a Coulomb-nuclear coupling term derived here for the first time which gives a small contribution for light targets but is of the same order of magnitude as nuclear breakup for heavy targets. The overall interference is constructive for light to medium targets and destructive for heavy targets. Thus it appears that Coulomb breakup experiments need to be analyzed with more accurate models than those used so far.Comment: 28 Latex pages, 2 tables, 2 eps figures, 5 ps figures.

Real Estate Education: Past, Present and Future-The Search for a Discipline

We are making headway, with difficulty, in our understanding and teaching of real estate subject matter. Until about 1960, heavy emphasis was on license preparation, salesmanship and professional development. The Gordon-Howell and Pierson reports led to a complete rethinking of real estate instruction at the university level. A problem solving approach is currently the key to respectability. Two versions of this approach are the (1) multidisciplinary and (2) financial management. Highest and best use promises to provide an acceptable social ethic for real estate education and implies the need for efficient real estate markets for optimum allocation of resources.
