Efficacy of laser preionization with a semiconductor source and propene addition
It is established that propene is an effective additive instabilising uv preionised CO2 TEA laser discharges: its effect being particularly pronounced with semiconductor-edge preionised lasers where the preionisation levels are shown to be low
Kennedy Retirement Plunges Supreme Court into Politics. Here\u27s How to Turn Down the Heat.
Justice Anthony Kennedyâs decision to retire from the Supreme Court could create a sea change in the courtâs jurisprudence for years to come. The debate about his successor will once again underscore the fierce partisan politics that surround the court.
Itâs worth recalling that the constitutional framers originally envisioned a Supreme Court that was insulated from such politics. In fact, Alexander Hamilton argued quite famously, in Federalist No. 78, that the court must be protected from the electorate in order to serve as a check against the political branches of government without fear of reprisals at the ballot box.

How to Turn Down Political Heat on Supreme Court and Federal Judges: Stop Signing Opinions
Chief Justice John Roberts rightly â albeit in an uncharacteristically direct manner â defended the integrity of the federal judiciary and its members from a direct affront from the president of the United States. Robertsâs defense sent President Donald Trump atwitter in a series of messages that doubled down on his previous ridicule of an âObama Judgeâ from the âtotal disasterâ Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Prospects for Higgs Search at D0
The status of the Higgs search at the upgraded D0 detector is discussed.Comment: Proceedings submitted for PASCOS03, Mumbai, India, Jan 3-8, 200
Measurements of the Top Quark Mass at D0
We present measurements of the top quark mass based on 3.6 fb^-1 of data
collected by the D0 experiment during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
We present results in the dilepton and lepton+jets final states. We also
present the measurement of the mass difference between t and tbar quarks
observed in lepton+jets final states of ttbar events in 1 fb^-1 of data.Comment: Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Supersymmetry and
the Unification of Fundamental Interactions (SUSY09
Covenant, Kingship, Grace, Sacrifice, and Prophetism in the Old Testament
This essay examines the major themes of covenant, kingship, grace, sacrifice, and prophetism that reoccur throughout the Old Testament and contribute to a proper understanding of the ancient biblical text. Through covenant, God reveals his divine nature and relates to his people. Through kingship, God reveals his plan for Israel. Through grace, God loves his chosen people and shows them mercy, and through sacrifice, God cleanses and sanctifies the Israelites. Finally, through prophetism, God discloses his divine calling for the Israelites. Each of these themes exposes Godâs self-revelation and contributes to an enhanced understanding of the Old Testament
