The word "ethics" is a particularly amorphous concept in the context of legal training. I t is critical to spell out the several distinct meanings of legal ethics: First, there are professional rules of protocol (Ethics I): a client's funds must be kept in a special escrow account separate from the attorney's funds;l a lawyer only contacts the adverse party through his of her own lawyer;' a law...

A method for analyz ing the structu re of the white backgr ound in docu ment images is describ ed, along with applic ations to the proble m of isolati ng blocks of machine -printe d text. The appro ach is based on computa tionalgeometry algorith ms for off-li ne enumera tion of maximal white rectan gles and on-line rectan gle unific ation. These suppo rt a fast, simple, and gener al heuri stic ...

The present paper aims at inquiring the ionization of some sulphates when dissolved in molten nitrates having suitable characteristics, and of which heats of fusion and cryoscopic constants were already well k n o w n T h e solutions of A g 2 S 0 4 in L i N 0 3 and K N 0 3 , of T1 2 S0 4 in L i N 0 3 , N a N 0 3 , and A g N 0 3 and of Z n S 0 4 in L i N 0 3 , N a N 0 3 , K N 0 3 , and A g N 0 3...

We address the problem of finding an optimal path for a vehicle in a planar environment where traversal costs are based on a time-varying spatial field defined over the environment. The resulting optimal path may contain instances of ’waiting’, where the vehicle hovers, parks, or loiters. We develop a test condition for evaluting beneficial waiting based on the local characteristics of the thre...

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs, small noncoding RNA molecules, can regulate mammalian cell growth, apoptosis and differentiation by controlling the expression of target genes. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of miR-323-5p in the glioma cell line, U251. MATERIALS AND METHODS After over-expression of miR-323- 5p using miR-323-5p mimics, cell growth, apoptosis and migration were test...

Di ̃usio n of potassium adsor bate on the W (112) plane w ith preadsorb ed nickel was investigated by means of the auto correlati on function of Ùeld emission current Ûuctuations. A comparison of the exp erimental auto correlation function with that of a theoretical calculati on by Gesley and Swanson gives the surf ace di ̃usi on coe£cient of potassium. From its temp erature dep endence the di ̃us...

Until recently, the interaction between environmental quality, economic activity and growth is predominantly considered in an a-spatial context. Traditional neoclassical growth theor y following Solow/Swan has mainly addressed questions about environmental and resourc e limits to growth. Recently, much attention is also devoted to the environment-growth interface from an endogenous growth persp...
