Law Faculty Developments at Calgary, 1984-1989
The Calgary Law Faculty is the youngest of the Canadian Law Schools, having been established in 1976. During the period under review the Faculty tackled developmental challenges that older Canadian law schools had faced years ago in generally less stringent economic times

The Relationship Between Molecular Gas, HI, and Star Formation in the Low-Mass, Low-Metallicity Magellanic Clouds
The Magellanic Clouds provide the only laboratory to study the effect of
metallicity and galaxy mass on molecular gas and star formation at high (~20
pc) resolution. We use the dust emission from HERITAGE Herschel data to map the
molecular gas in the Magellanic Clouds, avoiding the known biases of CO
emission as a tracer of H. Using our dust-based molecular gas estimates,
we find molecular gas depletion times of ~0.4 Gyr in the LMC and ~0.6 SMC at 1
kpc scales. These depletion times fall within the range found for normal disk
galaxies, but are shorter than the average value, which could be due to recent
bursts in star formation. We find no evidence for a strong intrinsic dependence
of the molecular gas depletion time on metallicity. We study the relationship
between gas and star formation rate across a range in size scales from 20 pc to
~1 kpc, including how the scatter in molecular gas depletion time changes with
size scale, and discuss the physical mechanisms driving the relationships. We
compare the metallicity-dependent star formation models of Ostriker, McKee, and
Leroy (2010) and Krumholz (2013) to our observations and find that they both
predict the trend in the data, suggesting that the inclusion of a diffuse
neutral medium is important at lower metallicity.Comment: 24 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ. FITS files of

Fragmentation of decorin, biglycan, lumican and keratocan is elevated in degenerate human meniscus, knee and hip articular cartilages compared with age-matched macroscopically normal and control tissues
Introduction:
The small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) modulate tissue organization, cellular proliferation, matrix adhesion, growth factor and cytokine responses, and sterically protect the surface of collagen type I and II fibrils from proteolysis. Catabolism of SLRPs has important consequences for the integrity of articular cartilage and meniscus by interfering with their tissue homeostatic functions.
Methods:
SLRPs were dissociatively extracted from articular cartilage from total knee and hip replacements, menisci from total knee replacements, macroscopically normal and fibrillated knee articular cartilage from mature age-matched donors, and normal young articular cartilage. The tissue extracts were digested with chondroitinase ABC and keratanase-I before identification of SLRP core protein species by Western blotting using antibodies to the carboxyl-termini of the SLRPs.
Results:
Multiple core-protein species were detected for all of the SLRPs (except fibromodulin) in the degenerate osteoarthritic articular cartilage and menisci. Fibromodulin had markedly less fragments detected with the carboxyl-terminal antibody compared with other SLRPs. There were fewer SLRP catabolites in osteoarthritic hip than in knee articular cartilage. Fragmentation of all SLRPs in normal age-matched, nonfibrillated knee articular cartilage was less than in fibrillated articular cartilage from the same knee joint or total knee replacement articular cartilage specimens of similar age. There was little fragmentation of SLRPs in normal control knee articular cartilage. Only decorin exhibited a consistent increase in fragmentation in menisci in association with osteoarthritis. There were no fragments of decorin, biglycan, lumican, or keratocan that were unique to any tissue. A single fibromodulin fragment was detected in osteoarthritic articular cartilage but not meniscus. All SLRPs showed a modest age-related increase in fragmentation in knee articular and meniscal cartilage but not in other tissues.
Conclusion:
Enhanced fragmentation of SLRPs is evident in degenerate articular cartilage and meniscus. Specific decorin and fibromodulin core protein fragments in degenerate meniscus and/or human articular cartilage may be of value as biomarkers of disease. Once the enzymes responsible for their generation have been identified, further research may identify them as therapeutic targets
Introducing Change in Public Service Organizations under Austerity: The Complex Case of the Governance of the Defence in the United Kingdom
Introducing, managing, and sustaining change in public service organizations is challenging for policy makers to implement and for scholars to theorize. In 2010, the U.K. Government introduced policy changes to help bring down the national deficit. The executive's planned reforms aimed to deliver a so‐called battle‐winning military force, a smaller and more professional Ministry of Defence, and an affordable overall defence organization. The article borrows from theories of management and public policy to help enlighten our understanding of change under New Public Management and governance approaches. The article's central claim is that the U.K. Government sought to correct cost‐efficiency processes in public service organizations trying to reshape organizational and managerial structures dependent on many internal and external pressures. The article examines the executive's purpose in developing a need for change and the ways to implement it. I question whether the U.K. Government's prescriptive and hierarchical approach to organizational change in public administration is sustainable in the long term
