In Defense of Preservation
In Defense of Preservation is the transcript of a presentation at the Gotham History Festival at the CUNY Graduate Center, October 6, 2001. The discussants argued that historic preservation is vital to New York City\u27s economic and cultural health, and countered arguments that preservation was elitist and hindered the city\u27s growth. Dorothy Minor discussed the legal basis for preservation and reviewed the Penn Central decision and other court cases. Anthony C. Wood discussed the history of historic preservation in New York. And Eric W. Allison presented the intersection of preservation with the liveable cities movement
Classical heisenberg antiferromagnet away from the pyrochlore lattice limit: entropic versus energetic selection
The stability of the disordered ground state of the classical Heisenberg
pyrochlore antiferromagnet is studied within extensive Monte Carlo simulations
by introducing an additional exchange interaction that interpolates
between the pyrochlore lattice () and the face-centered cubic lattice
(). It is found that for as low as , the system is
long range ordered : the disordered ground state of the pyrochlore
antiferromagnet is unstable when introducing very small deviations from the
pure limit. Furthermore, it is found that the selected phase is a
collinear state energetically greater than the incommensurate phase suggested
by a mean field analysis. To our knowledge this is the first example where
entropic selection prevails over the energetic one.Comment: 5 (two-column revtex4) pages, 1 table, 7 ps/eps figures. Submitted to

Women and Illegal Activities: Gender Differences and Women's Willingness to Comply Over Time
In recent years the topics of illegal activities such as corruption or tax evasion have attracted a great deal of attention. However, there is still a lack of substantial empirical evidence about the determinants of compliance. The aim of this paper is to investigate empirically whether women are more willing to be compliant than men and whether we observe (among women and in general) differences in attitudes among similar age groups in different time periods (cohort effect) or changing attitudes of the same cohorts over time (age effect) using data from eight Western European countries from the World Values Survey and the European Values Survey that span the period from 1981 to 1999. The results reveal higher willingness to comply among women and an age rather than a cohort effect. Working Paper 06-5
