Laser-spectroscopic measurement techniques for hypersonic, turbulent wind tunnel flows

A review is given of the nature, present status, and capabilities of two laser spectroscopic methods for the simultaneous measurement of temperature, density, and their fluctuations owing to turbulence in high speed wind tunnel flows. One method is based on the two frequency excitation of nitric oxide seeded into a nitrogen flow, using tunable dye lasers. The second, more recent method relies on the excitation of oxygen in air flows using a tunable, ArF excimer laser. Signal are obtained from both the laser induced fluorescence and from Raman scattering of the same laser pulse. Measurements are demonstrated in the turbulent boundary layer of a Mach-2 channel flow

Sport psychologists’ experiences of organizational stressors

This study extends stress research by exploring sport psychologists’ experiences of organizational stressors. Twelve accredited sport psychologists (6 academics and 6 practitioners) were interviewed regarding their experiences of organizational stress within their jobs. Content analysis involved categorizing the demands associated primarily and directly with their occupation under one of the following general dimensions: factors intrinsic to sport psychology, roles in the organization, sport relationships and interpersonal demands, career and performance development issues, and organizational structure and climate of the profession. A frequency analysis revealed that academics (ΣAOS = 201) experienced more organizational stressors than practitioners (ΣPOS = 168). These findings indicate that sport psychologists experience a wide variety of organizational stressors across different roles, some of which parallel those found previously in other professions. The practical implications for the management of stress for sport psychologists are discussed

Cannibal Tours Revisited: The Political Ecology of Tourism

The negative social and environmental impacts of the global tourism industry have been widely documented, yet there is still potential for tourism to function as a force of social justice. In this article I suggest that a political ecology perspective merging Marxist and poststructuralist lines of analysis can help to highlight both the key drivers of tourism’s negative impacts and ways that these can be challenged in the interest of tapping into tourism’s progressive potential. From a Marxist perspective, the tourism industry can be understood as a key mechanism by means of which the capitalist system expands and reproduces itself, while from a poststructuralist perspective it can be understood as a central element of neoliberal governance. Challenging tourism’s corrosive effects, therefore, requires confronting both of these dynamics in pursuit of a post-capitalist, postneoliberal politics

Perpetuities: Basic Clarity, Muddled Reform

This piece is intended to present the Rule Against Perpetuities, including its recent modifications, simply and understandably. Because the Rule\u27s mechanics, even in their neatest and purest form, have seemed beyond average comprehension, the explanation given here largely brushes over minor variants in the common law expression of the Rule and its operation. The goal is to ensure that the real core of the Rule is clearly portrayed

A Tribute to Robert Meisenholder

The dedication of this issue of the Washington Law Review to Professor Robert Meisenholder suitably celebrates the long career of a scholar, teacher, and beloved colleague. Professor Meisenholder retired in June 1985 after thirty-seven years as a member of a law faculty, thirty-one of those years at the Univesity of Washington School of Law. He came to our Law School in 1954, after six years of teaching in other schools (Miami and Cincinnati), four years of practice, and three years in the Navy (as a Japanese language expert during WWII). His legal education (both J.D. and S.J.D.) was at Michigan, where he later returned as a visiting professor in 1958-59

Perpetuities: A Father\u27s Reply

Susan has persuasively argued for adoption of a method that would look at the various chains of events—the resolving sequences—thus to separate those that fail from those that pass. We differ in only one important respect. In some instances she would use a life or portion of a life that is extraneous to the vesting reached in a particular sequence. I would not. In doing so, she in effect adopts Professor Dukeminier\u27s affecting lives approach. To put this in my terms, she uses any life or portion of a life that is pertinent to vesting of any sequence within the interest, not confining herself to those lives that are pertinent to the sequence under scrutiny. Further, she will use that extraneous life even though it is not adequate to defend the other sequence. She also would use a life that is adequate to defend a sequence that resolves the remainder that is alternate to the remainder being tested
