A New Code of Ethics for Commercial Arbitrators: The Neutrality of Party-Appointed Arbitrators on a Tripartite Panel
This article discusses ABA and AAA revisions to the ethics code for commercial arbitrators with respect to the neutrality of arbitrators. This Note describes the importance of the tripartite panel and the new standards in the revised code of ethics. It further examines the opposing arguments concerning the role of party-appointed arbitrators with respect to neutrality. Finally, the Note proposes that the revisers educate participants in the arbitral process of the new standard demanded of all arbitrators, so as to maintain confidence and stability in arbitration
Age and metallicity of the bulges in lenticular galaxies
Panoramic spectroscopic data of the sample of 80 nearby lenticular galaxies
obtained with the Multi-Pupil Fiber Spectrograph of the 6-m telescope are
presented. The SSP-equivalent ages, [Z/H], and [Mg/Fe] are determined through
the Lick indices H-beta, Mgb, and separately for the nuclei and for the
bulges. About a half of the sample contain chemically distinct nuclei, more
metal-rich and younger than the bulges. The correlations of the stellar
population properties for the nearby S0s are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. To appear in the Proceedings of the IAU Symposium
