Quality Advocacy and the Code of Professional Responsibility, The Ethics of Dilatory Motion Practice: Time for Change
One of the goals of the adversary system is to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action. Chief Judge Edelstein maintains that a restriction on dilatory motion practice is needed to secure this goal. To that end he proposes an amendment to the Code of Professional Responsibilities, the United States Judicial Code, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
High-pt Particle Production at PHENIX
It has been established that "hard probes", observables involving
high-momentum transfer, provide useful tools for studying the hot, dense medium
created in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC. The nuclear modification factor,
azimuthal correlations, direct photon production, as well as the dependence of
the nuclear modificaton factor on centrality and angle with respect to the
reaction plane are critical for understanding the early dynamics of such
heavy-ion collisions. We will review recent results from PHENIX for particle
production at high-pT and discuss their implications.Comment: Proceedings from the Conference on the Intersections of Particle and
Nuclear Physics, 30 May - 3 June 200
Quantum Theory of Probability and Decisions
The probabilistic predictions of quantum theory are conventionally obtained
from a special probabilistic axiom. But that is unnecessary because all the
practical consequences of such predictions follow from the remaining,
non-probabilistic, axioms of quantum theory, together with the
non-probabilistic part of classical decision theory
