A Trustee in Bankruptcy as a Judgment Creditor

Congress has been attempting to eliminate secret liens under the bankruptcy act for years. The battle has once again been joined over the question of whether a trustee in bankruptcy is a judgment creditor within the meaning of section 3672(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Although Congressional intent appears to clearly indicate that he is, the question has been brought into sharp focus by several recent decisions. I. Introduction II.

How do Web 3.0, blockchain- and token-based businesses create and capture value?

The development of technology is constantly being driven forward. With that companies are in the need to adapt their business model to certain technologies to optimize their economic value. In the age of Web 3.0, blockchain technology and the possibilities and risk that come with decentralized applications and digital currencies plays a central role in the current state of technological development. Hence, it is of utmost importance to understand how this technology is used or can be used to optimize the company’s activities. This thesis aims to gain knowledge about the way businesses utilize blockchain technology to gain economic value. For that, the following research question has been examined: How do Web 3.0, blockchain- and token-based businesses create and capture value? To answer the question, existing literature about blockchain and business models has been reviewed and semi-structured interviews have been carried out. Specifically, the study looks at areas or existing business problems for which solutions can be found through the application or support of blockchain technology to generate or optimize economic value. Therefore, current literature as well as information collected through semi-structured interviews with four experts, founders, and employees in the German blockchain space have been analyzed. The research shows that the technology currently finds the most use in the financial sector and supply chain management, in which in a B2B relationship the value is created through offering a blockchain-based service network to improve security and transparency and the value is mostly captured through charging fees for that service.A fim de maximizar o seu valor económico, as empresas precisam de adaptar o seu modelo de negócio ao desenvolvimento de certas tecnologias. Na era Web 3.0, a tecnologia blockchain e as suas possibilidades e riscos, consequência de aplicações descentralizadas e moedas digitais, têm um papel importante no desenvolvimento tecnológico atual. Portanto, é da maior importância entender como esta tecnologia pode ser utilizada para melhorar as atividades das empresas. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo entender como é que as empresas utilizam a tecnologia blockchain de forma a obter valor económico. Para tal, a seguinte pergunta de investigação será analisada: Como é que a Web 3.0, Blockchain e empresas baseadas em tokens criam e obtêm valor? Para responder a esta pergunta, recorreu-se a literatura sobre blockchain e modelos de negócio, e foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas. Este estudo analisa áreas ou problemas de empresas, para os quais é possível encontrar uma solução através da implementação ou ajuda da tecnologia blockchain de modo a gerar ou otimizar valor económico. Assim sendo, e para além da literatura, foi analisada a informação obtida através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com quatro especialistas, fundadores e funcionários do espaço blockchain alemão. Este estudo demonstra que esta tecnologia tem atualmente bastante utilidade no setor financeiro e na gestão de cadeia logística onde, numa relação B2B o valor é criado através da oferta de um serviço baseado em rede blockchain para melhorar a segurança e transparência, sendo que o valor é maioritariamente obtido através das taxas cobradas por esse serviço

Synergetic effects of LiFe0.3Mn0.7PO4–LiMn1.9Al0.1O4 blend electrodes

AbstractComposite cathodes are prepared by blending the olivine LiFe0.3Mn0.7PO4 (LFMP) and spinel LiMn1.9Al0.1O4 (LMO) in order to combine the high capacity of LFMP with the rate capability of the spinel. While tap density, capacity and energy density show a linear dependency on the blend ratio, a remarkable synergetic effect between LFMP and LMO improving the electrochemical performance at higher C-rates is demonstrated. Potential curves of blend electrodes at rates of 3C reveal a less pronounced polarization for the Mn2+/3+ plateau than expected from theoretical calculations. This buffer effect is also observed for high current pulses (5C) where blend electrodes resemble the behavior of pure spinel electrodes. In terms of power density at high states of charge (SoC), the performance of the Blend(50LFMP/50LMO cap%) exceeds even that of pure spinel. In addition, the spinel-related manganese dissolution can be drastically reduced by blending spinel with LFMP. This study shows the expected and synergetic effects of LFMP/spinel blends and compares the results with theoretical calculations

Art in the Indiana State University Library: Why Have Original Artworks in an Academic Library?

Why have original artworks in an academic library? One could very well pose the question; doesn’t original art work belong in a museum rather than in a library? In answer to this question, we would respond that one of the primary goals of the Indiana State University Library is to provide a welcoming atmosphere and that “fine art” contributes to this environment. More importantly, we want to have an environment that is conducive to creativity and intellectual endeavor

Dolly B. Davis Hoover: Pioneer Black Librarian

On November 26, 2000, friends and colleagues gathered at Saint Stephens Episcopal Church to honor the memory of Dolly B. Davis Hoover, the first African American faculty member at Indiana State University. The newspaper accounts of this occasion make note of her contribution to diversification and her role as a librarian at the university. As Charles Chillington eulogized “she opened ways that were not opened to most of us here.” These accounts, however, only offer a mere palimpsest of her remarkable career, a career which should be acknowledged in annals of Black Librarianship. The accomplishments of Dolly B. Davis Hoover are remarkable given the context of the time when she embarked upon the career of professional librarian in 1945

Place: The Cunningham Memorial Library of Indiana State University

When one thinks of a library, often the first image that comes to mind is a brick or stone building. However, one should also remember that a library is a gathering place. Within its walls are carefully gathered or collected resources, whether electronic, print, or sound. Beyond such artifacts, the library is moreover a gathering place for people, be it library faculty and staff, or the patrons which they serve. It is a place for people to work, investigate, socialize, or repose. Indiana State University’s Cunningham Memorial Library (CML) embodies both these concepts. Yes, it is a physical structure, but even more so it is a gathering place. What follows is an exposition of the library’s rich history, its buildings, its collections, and the means through which it gathers people into its fold – library faculty, staff, and patron alike

The dynamics of phytoplankton, bacteria and heterotrophic flagellates at two Banks near Magdeburg in the River Elbe (Germany)

AbstractThe main objectives of this study were to describe the seasonal standing stock dynamics of phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and heterotrophic flagellates in the highly eutrophic River Elbe (Germany), and to compare the seasonal patterns observed with other streams. Emphasis was placed on examining and assessing abiotic and biotic controlling factors influencing the structure and dynamics of the riverine plankton. All the physico-chemical and biological parameters determined were within the range or somewhat higher (in the case of phytoplankton abundance and biomass) than reported for other large streams. The underwater light conditions resulting from atypically short phytoplankton growth periods of about 6 months per year and the low phytoplankton carbon to chl a ratio of 23 were identified as a major limiting factor for phytoplankton development in the River Elbe. The seasonal distribution pattern of bacterioplankton indicated probable tight trophodynamical coupling both with phytoplankton and with heterotrophic flagellates, whereas heterotrophic flagellates showed a more trophic link with bacterial densities. Although approximately constant DOC and DON levels throughout the year sustained bacterial growth rates, during the phytoplankton growing season an increase of bacterial standing stocks was observed. Although the left-bank sampling site of the Elbe is strongly influenced by the tributaries Mulde and Saale containing higher concentrations of chloride, nitrogen nutrients, heavy metals and organic pollutants, no clear differences were observed between the two sides of the river concerning the biological parameters measured. Possible reasons and the slightly higher phytoplankton abundance and diversity at the right bank are discussed
