Disputes Among Partners: Problems in Rebutting the Presumptions of the U.P.A. and the U.L.P.A. and Modifying a Partnership Agreement

The Uniform Partnership Act (U.P.A.) and the Uniform Limited Partnership Acts (U.L.P.A.) contain many presumptions on the mutual rights and duties of partners. These presumptions create many problems regarding the formation and modification of partnership agreements. This article concerns some of the problems. Section I discusses the issue of whose consent is necessary to rebut a presumption or modify a partnership agreement. Section II discusses the issue of what evidence is sufficient to rebut a presumption or modify a partnership agreement

Free-Surface and Contact Line Motion of Liquid in Microgravity

This project involves fundamental studies of the role of nonlinearity in determining the motion of liquid masses under the principal influences of surface tension, viscosity and inertia. Issues to be explored are relevant to aspects of terrestrial processes, as well as being immediately applicable to fluid management in a low-gravity environment. Specific issues include: (1) the mechanic's of liquid masses in large-amplitude motions, (2) the influence of bounding surfaces on the motion, and (3) the ability of such surfaces to control liquid motion by wetting forces, especially when they are augmented by various surface treatments. Mathematical techniques include asymptotic analysis of the governing equations, for problem simplification, and numerical simulation, using both boundary-element and finite-difference methods. The flow problem is divided into an 'outer' or inviscid potential-flow region and one or more inner, or viscous dominated, regions. Relevant to one inner region, the vicinity of the contact line, we discuss time-dependent simulation of slow droplet motion, on a surface of variable wettability, using the lubrication approximation. The simulation uses a disjoining pressure model and reproduces realistic wetting-dewetting behavior

Statistical multi-moment bifurcations in random delay coupled swarms

We study the effects of discrete, randomly distributed time delays on the dynamics of a coupled system of self-propelling particles. Bifurcation analysis on a mean field approximation of the system reveals that the system possesses patterns with certain universal characteristics that depend on distinguished moments of the time delay distribution. Specifically, we show both theoretically and numerically that although bifurcations of simple patterns, such as translations, change stability only as a function of the first moment of the time delay distribution, more complex patterns arising from Hopf bifurcations depend on all of the moments
