Triglops dorothy, a new species of sculpin (Teleostei: Scorpaeniformes: Cottidae) from the southern Sea of Okhotsk
A new species of the cottid genus Triglops Reinhardt is described on the basis of 21 specimens collected in Aniva Bay, southern Sakhalin Island, Russia, and off Kitami, on the northern coast of Hokkaido, Japan, at depths of 73â117 m. Of the ten species of Triglops now recognized, the new species, Triglops dorothy, is most similar to T. pingeli Reinhardt, well known from the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans and throughout coastal waters of the Arctic. The new species differs from T. pingeli in a combination of morphometric and meristic characters that includes most importantly the number of dorsolateral scales; the number of oblique, scaled dermal folds below the lateral line; and the number of gill rakers
BFKL Physics in Jet Production at e+e- colliders
Virtual photon scattering in collisions can result in events with
the electron-positron pair at large rapidity separation with hadronic activity
in between. The BFKL equation resums large logarithms that dominate the cross
section for this process. We report here on a Monte Carlo method for solving
the BFKL equation that allows kinematic constraints to be taken into account
and show results for collisions.Comment: 3 pages, Latex, talk presented at the 2000 Meeting of the Division of

Progress Towards a Generator for BFKL Physics
In certain regions of phase space in jet production, large logarithms can
arise which are resummed by the BFKL equation. Linear colliders can potentially
be excellent places to study BFKL effects in jet production. We discuss an
approach to BFKL calculations which incorporates kinematic effects explicitly
and can be implemented in an event generator.Comment: 4 pages including 2 figures, Latex, uses epsfig, aipproc.sty; talk

âWe kind of try to merge our own experience with the objectivity of the criteriaâ: The role of connoisseurship and tacit practice in undergraduate fine art assessment
This article explores connoisseurship in the context of fine art undergraduate assessment practice. I interviewed twelve fine art lecturers in order to explore and unpack
the concept of connoisseurship in relation to subjectivity, objectivity and tacit practice.
Building on the work of Bourdieu (1973, 1977, 1986) and Shay (2003, 2005), both of whom problematize the view that subjectivity and objectivity are binary opposites, my
research illustrates the ways that connoisseurship is underpinned by informed professional judgements located in communities of practice. Within this particular conception
of connoisseurship, the lecturersâ expertise is co-constituted in communities of assessors through participation and engagement. Standards reside in communities of practice
Housing outcomes: an assessment of long-term trends
This paper was presented at the conference "Unequal incomes, unequal outcomes? Economic inequality and measures of well-being" as part of session 2, " Affordability of housing for young and poor families." The conference was held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on May 7, 1999. The authors examine trends in housing outcomes by income group. Orr and Peach indicate that there has been a substantial improvement in the physical adequacy of the housing stock over the past few decades, particularly for households in the lowest income quintile. Neighborhood quality for all income groups has also improved, although sharp differences in quality continue to exist across the groups. In one important respect, however, lower income households are worse off than before - housing costs now absorb a larger share of their income.Housing ; Housing - Finance
