Modern Legislation, Metropolitan Court, Miniscule Results: A Study of Detroit\u27s Landlord-Tenant Court

This article is a description of a study of cases filed and tried in the Detroit, Michigan, Common Pleas Court, Landlord-Tenant Division, during 1970 and 1971. The court is in a large urban center and handles a high volume of cases, in most of which one or both parties appear without an attorney. The impetus for the study was Michigan legislation passed in 1968, which gave tenants additional defenses to summary eviction procedures. The main goal of the study was to observe the effects of the legislation on tenants who were subject to summary proceedings in Detroit. The purpose of the study was not just an analysis of landlord-tenant law or practices per se, but also the more general inquiry into the administration of justice and practical effects of reform legislation

Government pension policy and the cost of labor and capital

This article examines how the pension insurance provided by the PBGC and the tax treatment of pension plans affect the cost of labor and capital. Two important aspects of the insurance program are (1) the premium schedule and (2) an employer's liability for unfunded pension benefits (the deductible). These two aspects interact to increase the cost of capital relative to labor, especially for firms with underfunded plans.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/45413/1/10693_2004_Article_BF00119168.pd

On the Regulated Nuclear Transport of Incompletely Spliced mRNAs by HIV-Rev Protein: A Minimal Dynamic Model

A kinetic model for the HIV-1 Rev protein is developed by drawing upon mechanistic information from the literature to formulate a set of differential equations modeling the behavior of Rev and its various associated factors over time. A set of results demonstrates the possibility of oscillations in the concentration of these factors. Finally, the results are analyzed, and future directions are discussed
