    United States Coastwise Trading Restrictions: A Comparison of Recent Customs Service Rulings with the Legislative Purpose of the Jones Act and the Demands of a Global Economy

    Fierce policy disputes are inevitable whenever two basic, widely-accepted principles intersect in a situation where one must prevail and the other give way. In the maritime field, these disputes occur whenever a nation-state is forced to choose between promoting free and open trade in maritime services or protecting its domestic merchant marine. The clash of these policies has generated vigorous debates in the United States on a wide variety of maritime issues (e.g., cargo preference requirements, operating and construction differential subsidies, vessel construction loan guarantee programs and whether to retaliate against foreign countries\u27 attempts to reserve import and export trades for their merchant marines). In one area, however, the advocates of a strong domestic merchant marine have routed the forces of free trade by reserving domestic maritime trades for national maritime fleets. The right of a nation to exclude foreign vessels from its domestic maritime trades is accepted without question in the international community; and most coastal nations, including the United States, have adopted cabotage laws to enforce that right.\u27 The United States\u27 maritime cabotage laws are contained in Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 19202 - commonly referred to as the Jones Act. This article will challenge neither the United States\u27 legal right to adopt cabotage laws, nor the Congressional choice to protect the United States merchant marine through the enactment of the Jones Act. Instead, this article analyzes recent Jones Act rulings, opinions and decisions on the so-called continuity of the voyage issue (Le., whether the Act applies to the transportation of cargoes between two United States points if they are manufactured or processed at a foreign intermediate point)

    Lecture capture: Practical recommendations for students and instructors

    In this article, we provide practical recommendations to help promote self-regulated strategies for the use of lecture capture for both students and instructors. For students, we suggest that the importance of attendance and effective note-taking should be reinforced, as well as specifying how lecture capture can best be used as a catch-up or revision aid. For instructors, we highlight the need to provide guidance for students on how to learn and to adopt a context-dependent approach to lecture capture based on pedagogical considerations, rather than all-or-nothing. Regarding the issue of the relationship between lecture capture and attendance, we suggest the focus should move to a more nuanced discussion of why students fail to attend lectures and how they are using lecture capture. Finally, we discuss other concerns commonly raised by instructors related to lecture capture. Our student guidance is available for dissemination in infographic form at https://osf.io/esd2q/files/

    The reaction γp→π∘γ′p\gamma p \to \pi^\circ \gamma^\prime p and the magnetic dipole moment of the Δ+(1232)\Delta^+(1232) resonance

    The reaction γp→π∘γ′p\gamma p \to \pi^\circ \gamma^\prime p has been measured with the TAPS calorimeter at the Mainz Microtron accelerator facility MAMI for energies between s\sqrt{s} = 1221--1331 MeV. Cross sections differential in angle and energy have been determined for all particles in the final state in three bins of the excitation energy. This reaction channel provides access to the magnetic dipole moment of the Δ+(1232)\Delta^{+}(1232) resonance and, for the first time, a value of μΔ+=(2.7−1.3+1.0(stat.)±1.5(syst.)±3(theo.))μN\mu_{\Delta^+} = (2.7_{-1.3}^{+1.0}(stat.) \pm 1.5 (syst.) \pm 3(theo.)) \mu_N has been extracted
