In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the case of Georgia v. Ashcroft, 539 U.S. 461 (hereinafter, “Ashcroft”), interpreting Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act as it related to the 2001 Georgia redistricting, and in so doing, changed the face of the Voting Rights Act. Prior to Ashcroft, redistrictings in jurisdictions subject to Section 5 were analyzed according to the standard enunciated in B...

The Ashcroft scale for the evaluation of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis is the analysis of stained histological samples by visual assessment. Based on the knowledge that this procedure is not standardized in animals and results are highly variable, we hypothesized that modification of this method may improve quantification of lung fibrosis in small animals. To prove our hypothesis, we evaluate...

Abstract This paper traces a relatively linear sequence of early research approaches to the formal verification concurrent programs. It does so forwards and then backwards in time. After briefly outlining context, key insights from three distinct 1970s are identified (Ashcroft/Manna, Ashcroft (solo) Owicki). The main technical material focuses on specific program taken last published pieces (Su...

In order to construct a general density-functional theory for nonuniform fluid mixtures, we propose an extension to multicomponent systems of the weighted-density approximation of Curtin and Ashcroft [Phys. Rev. A 32, 2909 (1985)]. This extension corrects a deficiency in a similar extension proposed earlier by Denton and Ashcroft [Phys. Rev. A 42, 7312 (1990)], in that that functional cannot be...
