Alaska Criminal Statute Cross-Reference Guide
This guide provides cross-references between Alaska criminal statutes and National Criminal Information Center (NCIC), Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), Alaska OBTS, and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) codes. The guide also includes brief annotations of each statute. The guide is also available in a computerized version. An accompanying volume, Conversion Tables for Use with the Alaska OBTS Database and the Alaska Criminal Statute Cross-Reference Guide, is designed for use with printed versions of the guide. The guide reflects legislative changes in Alaska Statutes through 1997, but is no longer updated.Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Further thoughts on “The Restless Legs Syndrome: Would You Like that with Movements or Without?”...
This is a response to the article by Brian Koo ‘‘The Restless Legs Syndrome: Would you like that with movements or without?’’ published in Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements. In this contribution Dr. Koo does a superb job in marshaling evidence that restless legs syndrome/Willis–Ekbom disease (RLS/WED) and periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) share a common pathophysiology, pharmacology, genetics, and epidemiology, and that they may also share a similar clinical relevance particularly in relation to cardiovascular disease. The argument is then made that measurement of PLMS may add to the diagnostic accuracy of RLS/WED diagnosis

Psoriasis Vulgaris Successfully Treated with Goeckerman Treatment at Home: A Patient and Physician's Experience.
Goeckerman therapy is a highly effective treatment regimen for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. It involves regular exposure to ultraviolet B radiation and the application of crude coal tar. To our knowledge, only three centers in the USA currently offer a formal Goeckerman therapy treatment program; thus, access to this therapy is geographically limited. In this article, a motivated patient discusses his experience with generalized plaque psoriasis. This patient, while living in a Goeckerman-inaccessible area, deferred treatment with biologics and outpatient phototherapy to develop a modified Goeckerman regimen for at-home use. This home regimen, which did not involve the use of prescription-strength medications, resulted in full clearance of his psoriasis. We also discuss the patient's case from the perspective of a dermatology treatment team that has reviewed his experience

Comparison of Material Properties and Microstructure of Specimens Built Using the 3D Systems Vanguard HS and Vanguard HiQ+HSSLS Systems
The HiQ upgrade to the 3D Systems Vanguard selective laser sintering (SLS) machine incorporates a revised thermal calibration system and new control software. The paper compares
the tensile modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural modulus, Izod impact resistance and microstructure of two batteries of standard specimens built from recycled Duraform
PA (Nylon 12). The first set is built on a Vanguard HS system and the second on the same
system with the HiQ upgrade installed. The upgrade reduces user intervention, decreases total build time and improves surface finish. However, using the default processing parameters,
tensile, flexure and impact properties are all found to decline after the upgrade is installed.Mechanical Engineerin
The Evolution of the Global Star Formation History as Measured from the Hubble Deep Field
The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is the deepest set of multicolor optical
photometric observations ever undertaken, and offers a valuable data set with
which to study galaxy evolution. Combining the optical WFPC2 data with
ground-based near-infrared photometry, we derive photometrically estimated
redshifts for HDF galaxies with J<23.5. We demonstrate that incorporating the
near-infrared data reduces the uncertainty in the estimated redshifts by
approximately 40% and is required to remove systematic uncertainties within the
redshift range 1<z<2. Utilizing these photometric redshifts, we determine the
evolution of the comoving ultraviolet (2800 A) luminosity density (presumed to
be proportional to the global star formation rate) from a redshift of z=0.5 to
z=2. We find that the global star formation rate increases rapidly with
redshift, rising by a factor of 12 from a redshift of zero to a peak at z~1.5.
For redshifts beyond 1.5, it decreases monotonically. Our measures of the star
formation rate are consistent with those found by Lilly et al. (1996) from the
CFRS at z 2, and
bridge the redshift gap between those two samples. The overall star formation
or metal enrichment rate history is consistent with the predictions of Pei and
Fall (1995) based on the evolving HI content of Lyman-alpha QSO absorption line
systems.Comment: Latex format, 10 pages, 3 postscript figures. Accepted for

A note on race, ethnicity and nativity differentials in remarriage in the United States
The objectives of this study are to produce up-to-date estimates of race/ethnic/nativity differentials for remarriage and repartnership among women in the United States and to see if these differences are due to across-group differences in demographic characteristics. First, we produce lifetable estimates of remarriage and repartnering for white, black, U.S. born Latina and foreign born Latina women. Next, we estimate race/ethnic/nativity differentials for remarriage and repartnership using event-history analysis with and without controls for demographic characteristics. The results suggest a continued overall decline in remarriage rates, while many women repartner by cohabitating. Whites are more likely than blacks or Latinas to remarry and they are also more likely to repartner. Race/ethnic/nativity differentials remain even after accounting for variations in demographic characteristics. This suggests that race/ethnic/nativity differentials in remarriage and repartnering rates, rather than ameliorating disadvantages associated with divorce, reinforce these differentials.cohabitation, divorce, ethnicity, nativity, remarriage
From Giant H II regions and H II galaxies to globular clusters and compact dwarf ellipticals
Massive starforming regions like Giant HII Regions (GHIIR) and HII Galaxies
(HIIG) are emission line systems ionized by compact young massive star clusters
(YMC) with masses ranging from M to M. We model the
photometric and dynamical evolution over a Hubble time of the massive
gravitationally bound systems that populate the tight relation between absolute
blue magnitude and velocity dispersion () of GHIIR and HIIG and
compare the resulting relation with that one of old stellar systems: globular
clusters, elliptical galaxies, bulges of spirals. After 12~Gyr of evolution
their position on the vs. M plane coincides -- depending on the
initial mass -- either with the globular clusters for systems with initial mass
M or with a continuation of the ellipticals, bulges of
spirals and ultracompact dwarfs for YMC with M. The slope
change in the and -size relations at cluster masses around
M is due to the larger impact of the dynamical evolution on the
lower mass clusters. We interpret our result as an indication that the YMC that
ionize GHIIR and HIIG can evolve to form globular clusters and ultra compact
dwarf ellipticals in about 12 Gyr so that present day globular clusters and
ultra compact dwarf ellipticals may have formed in conditions similar to those
observed in today GHIIR and HIIG.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA
