Judicial Competence and Fundamental Rights
In the April 1979 issue of the Michigan Law Review, Professor Ira Lupu added his valuable contribution to the continuing debate on the problem of defining the nature of fundamental rights under the Constitution. In many respects his article is a wholly admirable piece of scholarship, both well-researched and carefully reasoned. However, on one issue - the question of judicial competence to identify the values he defines as fundamental - Professor Lupu\u27s discussion is seriously deficient. This letter will examine the problem of judicial competence and conclude that it is fatal to Professor Lupu\u27s conception of the appropriate role of the Court under the due process and equal protection clauses
Factors for a successful sales forceduring the corporate life cycle
The organisations, like all living organisms, have a lifecycle and undergo very predictable and repetitive patterns of behaviour as they grow and develop. Although companies devote considerable time and money to managing their sales forces, few focus much on how the sale forces needs to change over the life cycle of an organisation. In this article, the authors explain how, at each stage, company can best tackle the relevant issues and get the most out of their sales forces, how to develop the best sales force structures for each of the four stages of the business life cycle. Specifically, companies must alter four factors over time: the roles that the sales force and selling partners play, the size of the sales force, the sales force’s degree of specialization, and how salespeople apportion their efforts among different customers, products and activities.corporate lifecycle, sales, sales force, efficiency
Convergence of the two-dimensional random walk loop soup clusters to CLE
We consider the random walk loop soup on the discrete half-plane
corresponding to a central charge c in (0, 1]. We look at the clusters of
discrete loops and show that the scaling limit of the outer boundaries of
outermost clusters is the CLE(kappa) loop ensemble, with the same relation
between kappa and c as in the continuum Brownian setting.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figure
Threading Between the Religion Clauses
A careful review of the overall record suggests that Pres Clinton\u27s Administration has been more solicitous of the First Amendment\u27s Religious Clauses as a whole than can normally be expected of elected national officials and their appointees
Coupling and an application to level-set percolation of the Gaussian free field
We consider a general enough set-up and obtain a refinement of the coupling
between the Gaussian free field and random interlacements recently constructed
by Titus Lupu in arXiv:1402.0298. We apply our results to level-set percolation
of the Gaussian free field on a -regular tree, when , and
derive bounds on the critical value . In particular, we show that , where denotes the critical level for the percolation of
the vacant set of random interlacements on a -regular tree.Comment: 28 pages, appeared in the Electronic Journal of Probabilit
