Appendix C: Faculty Publication

From the beginning the ILR faculty devoted much of its time and effort to the preparation and publication of works covering a wide range of subject matter within the industrial and labor relations field. Some of the faculty output addressed the interests of their scholarly colleagues and students but much was directed to practitioners and the general public as well

Nature of {varphi}X174 Linear DNA from a DNA Ligase-Defective Host

Linear DNAs have been prepared from {varphi}X phage and from {varphi}X RF II (double-stranded circular form of {varphi}X DNA, formed during infection and nicked in one or both strands) molecules derived from infection at the restrictive temperature of Escherichia coli ts7, a host mutant with a temperature-sensitive DNA ligase activity. The linear DNA from these phages can be circularized by annealing with fragments of {varphi}X RF DNA produced by the Haemophilus influenzae restriction nuclease. The circularization experiment indicated that the site of breakage of the linear phage DNAs is not unique nor confined to a particular region of the genome. These linear DNAs were less than 0.1% as infective as circular phage DNA. The linear, positive strand of late RF II DNA, however, is uniquely nicked in the region of the {varphi}X genome corresponding to cistron A. Although a low level of infectivity is associated with the linear DNA derived from late RF II, this infectivity appears to be a result of the association of linear positive and linear negative strands during the infectivity assay

The ILR School at Fifty: Voices of the Faculty, Alumni & Friends (Full Text)

A collection of reflections on the first fifty years of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University. Compiled by Robert B. McKersie, J. Gormly Miller, Robert L. Aronson, and Robert R. Julian. Edited by Elaine Gruenfeld Goldberg. It was the hope of the compilers that the reflections contained in this book would both kindle memories of the school and stimulate interest on the part of future generations of ILRies who have not yet shared in its special history. Dedicated to the Memory of J. Gormly Miller, 1914-1995. Copyright 1996 by Cornell University. All rights reserved

Generalized BCH codes

A new class of error-correcting codes, which generalizes the BCH codes and the polynomial codes of Goethals is constructed. These new codes have associated designed distances, which give lower bounds for their error-correcting capability. We also give a new construction of orthogonal idempotents, and hence of minimal ideals, in any semisimple commutative algebra
