Copyright-Notice Requirements-Pitfalls for the Unwary
Whether judicial remedy of the situation will be adequate or whether legislative change is necessary to remedy the situation presents another problem; but the need for remedy seems clear. The purpose of this comment is to discuss these pitfalls and to indicate present judicial trends regarding these problems. Proposed remedies, both legislative and judicial, will be listed and evaluated where possible
Biology and conservation of elasmobranchs: an introduction to the collection
Elasmobranchs, the taxonomic group comprising sharks, skates and rays, play important roles in society and marine ecology but several species in this subclass are under threat. This collection aims to be an open access hub for articles concerning all areas of elasmobranch biology and conservation. The collection is indefinitely open to further submissions and so will continue to grow as additional articles are added

Data appendix to the behavior of LNG vapor clouds: wind-tunnel tests on the modeling of heavy plume dispersion: final report (July 1979-September 1981)
CER81-82DEN-RNM25.March 1982.Accompanying final report has title: The behavior of LNG vapor clouds: wind-tunnel tests on the modeling of heavy plume dispersion: final report, July 1979-September 1981.Visual and concentration measurements were made for a large number of continuous ground-level releases of heavy gases into a wind-tunnel boundary layer. These different plumes were not affected by any topographic or building wake influences. The experiments provided a broad coverage of the variable range of source gas specific gravity, source gas flow rate, and approach flow wind speed. From an investigation of the physical similarity between plumes, the permissible modeling distortion in source density, volume flux ratio, and length scale ratio was quantified. The concentration scaling theory which was previously limited to far-field behavior was extended to cover the entire range of plume concentrations. Generalized behavior models were constructed from the laboratory tests. These models were scaled up to atmospheric conditions. The range of atmospheric scenarios to which these laboratory data are applicable is summarized. Measurements on the behavior of transient dense plumes were also obtained.For Gas Research Institute contract no. 5014-352-0203

On Chromospheric Variations Modeling for Main-Sequence Stars of G and K Spectral Classes
We present a method of chromospheric flux simulation for 13 late-type
main-sequence stars. These Sun-like stars have well-determined cyclic flux
variations similar to 11 yr solar activity cycle. Our flux prediction is based
on chromospheric HK emission time series measurements from Mount Wilson
Observatory and comparable solar data. We show that solar three - component
modeling explains well the stellar observations. We find that the 10 - 20% of K
- stars disc surfaces are occupied by bright active regions.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
Use of an Observational Coding System with Families of Adolescents: Psychometric Properties among Pediatric and Healthy Populations
Objective: To examine reliability and validity data for the Family Interaction Macro-coding System (FIMS) with adolescents with spina bifida (SB), adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and healthy adolescents and their families.Methods: Sixty-eight families of children with SB, 58 families of adolescents with T1DM, and 68 families in a healthy comparison group completed family interaction tasks and self-report questionnaires. Trained coders rated family interactions using the FIMS.Results: Acceptable interrater and scale reliabilities were obtained for FIMS items and subscales. Observed FIMS parental acceptance, parental behavioral control, parental psychological control, family cohesion, and family conflict scores demonstrated convergent validity with conceptually similar self-report measures.Conclusions: Preliminary evidence supports the use of the FIMS with families of youths with SB and T1DM and healthy youths. Future research on overall family functioning may be enhanced by use of the FIMS
