The Russian Revolutionary Emigres, 1825-1870
Originally published in 1986. Martin A. Miller, author of the definitive biography of the exiled revolutionary Peter Kropotkin, traces the history of the first generations of Russians who went to Western Europe to devote their lives to anti-tsarist politics. Refusing to assimilate abroad and unable to return home, the émigrés political orientations were influenced by intellectual and social currents in both Russia and Europe. Miller undertakes a major reassessment of the émigré contribution to the Russian revolutionary movement. Starting with Nikolai Turgenev, who in 1825 was declared the first "émigré" by a special act of the Russian government, the exiles formed a unique social and political group. Miller takes a biographical approach in tracing the progression from a disparate community of intellectuals, unable to act together to promote their own program for change, to a more cohesive second émigré generation that provided the foundation for collective action and the development of a revolutionary ideology. The creation of the Russian émigré press, Miller argues, gave identity and momentum to the émigrés and helped promote their program of revolution and a new social order. The Russian Revolutionary Emigres, 1825-1870 concludes with the death in 1870 of the leading émigré figure, Alexander Herzen, and with an analysis of the impact upon the émigrés of the emergence of the populist revolutionary movement within Russia. The émigrés overcame the loss of their homeland through their version of a future Russia, one transformed into a new society where their ideals could be realized. When, two generations later, Lenin returned to Russia after decades in Europe and made this vision a reality, his actions built on the foundation laid by his nineteenth-century predecessors
Coping with CAFOs: How Much Notice Must a Citizen Give - Community Ass\u27n for Restoration of the Environment v. Henry Bosma Dairy
In the context of reviewing Community Ass’n for Restoration of the Environment v. Henry Bosma Dairy, this Note focuses on what constitutes sufficient notice and suggests how citizen groups should handle additional violations discovered after suit has been filed. Although the Ninth Circuit had previously taken a fairly strict approach in interpreting notice requirement, Bosma Dairy indicates a shift toward a more forgiving approach by allowing the plaintiff to include certain non-noticed violations in its lawsuit. This urges the continued movement away from a rigid and formalistic approach

Comment on "A centroid molecular dynamics study of liquid para hydrogen and ortho deuterium" [J. Chem. Phys. 121, 6412 (2004)]
We show that the two phase points considered in the recent simulations of liquid para hydrogen by Hone and Voth lie in the liquid-vapor coexistence region of a purely classical molecular dynamics simulation. By contrast, their phase point for ortho deuterium was in the one-phase liquid region for both classical and quantum simulations. These observations are used to account for their report that quantum mechanical effects enhance the diffusion in liquid para hydrogen and decrease it in ortho deuterium
Connection between the elastic GEp/GMp and P to Delta form factors
It is suggested that the falloff in Qsq of the P to Delta magnetic form
factor GM* is related to the recently observed falloff of the elastic electric
form factor GEp/GMp. Calculation is carried out in the framework of a GPD
mechanism
A practical model of convective dynamics for stellar evolution calculations
Turbulent motions in the interior of a star play an important role in its
evolution, since they transport chemical species, thermal energy and angular
momentum. Our overall goal is to construct a practical turbulent closure model
for convective transport that can be used in a multi-dimensional stellar
evolution calculation including the effects of rotation, shear and magnetic
fields. Here, we focus on the first step of this task: capturing the well-known
transition from radiative heat transport to turbulent convection with and
without rotation, as well as the asymptotic relationship between turbulent and
radiative transport in the limit of large Rayleigh number. We extend the
closure model developed by Ogilvie (2003) and Garaud and Ogilvie (2005) to
include heat transport and compare it with experimental results of
Rayleigh-Benard convection.Comment: Conference proceeding for poster at conference "Unsolved problems in

Analysis of nuclear waste disposal in space, phase 3. Volume 1: Executive summary of technical report
The objectives, approach, assumptions, and limitations of a study of nuclear waste disposal in space are discussed with emphasis on the following: (1) payload characterization; (2) safety assessment; (3) health effects assessment; (4) long-term risk assessment; and (5) program planning support to NASA and DOE. Conclusions are presented for each task
