Collection of Housing Judgments: Buffalo\u27s Practice Compared to Other Municipalities
Each year the City of Buffalo files thousands of dollars in housing violation fines as judgments at the Erie County Clerk’s Office. Unfortunately, much of this money goes uncollected, in part due to the limited steps the City takes to collect outstanding fines. The problem the City faces in pursuing collections is a lack of resources and judgment proof defendants
Sensitivity of the NEMO telescope to neutrinos from microquasars
We present the results of Monte Carlo simulation studies of the capability of
the proposed NEMO telescope to detect TeV muon neutrinos from Galactic
microquasars. In particular we determined the number of the detectable events
from each known microquasar together with the expected atmospheric neutrino and
muon background events. We also discuss the detector sensitivity to neutrino
fluxes expected from microquasars, optimizing the event selection in order to
reject the atmospheric background, and we show the number of events surviving
the event selection.Comment: To be published on CRIS06 proceedings (Catania, Italy, May 29 - June

Secondary Li battery incorporating 12-Crown-4 ether
A rechargeable lithium battery which utilizes a polyethylene oxide (PEO) solid polymeric electrolyte complexed with a lithium salt is disclosed. The conductivity is increased an order of magnitude and interfacial charge transfer resistance is substantially decreased by incorporating a minor amount of 12-Crown-4 ether in the PEO-lithium salt solid electrolyte film. Batteries containing the improved electrolyte permit operation at a lower temperature with improved efficiency
