A culture that is hard to defend: extralegal factors in federal death penalty cases
No full textEmpirical research has exposed a troubling pattern of capital punishment in the United States, with extralegal factors such as race, class, and gender strongly correlated with the probability of a death sentence. Capital sentencing also shows significant geographic disparities, although existing research tends to be more descriptive than explanatory. This study offers an alternative conception of local legal culture to explain place-based variation in the outcomes of federal capital trials, accounting for the level of attorney time and expert resources granted by the federal courts to defend against a death sentence. Using frequentist and Bayesian methods—supplemented with expert interviews—we empirically assess the processes determining the total allocation of defense resources in federal death penalty trials at the peak of the federal death penalty—between 1998 and 2004. Our findings strongly connect extralegal factors to the lowest levels of defense resources, which in turn correlate with a higher risk of a death sentence. Far from being idiosyncratic discrepancies, these are systemic and systematic extralegal factors that stand between a defendant and his opportunity to defend against a death sentence. Ultimately, we argue for a reconceptualization of extralegal influences and the relationship between local legal culture and capital case outcomes.Peer reviewe

No full textThis photograph shows Kenneth B. Clark, an honorary degree recipient at the 1989 Springfield College Commencement Ceremony. He is pictured sitting in a chair with his elbow on the arm of the chair and his chin resting on his hand. The photo is taken by famed photographer, Raimondo Borea. He is wearing a suit. The college gave him the honorary degree because he demonstrated a lifetime commitment to the Humanics philosophy followed by Springfield College.Kenneth B. Clark earned his Ph.D. in social psychology from Columbia University and went on to become a Distinguished Professor of Psychology Emeritus of the City College of the City University of New York. He also is the author of several books and articles, including "Prejudice and Your Child," "Pathos of Power," and "Dark Ghetto." He qualified to present his research on the effects of segregation on children to the United States Supreme Court during the 1954 decision of Brown vs. Board of Education. He and his wife were also co-founders of the Northside Center for Child Development and he also is noted for his work with Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited. His previous awards include: 1961 recipient of the Springain Medal, 1985 recipient of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Four Freedom Award, and 1986 recipient of the Medal of Liberty Award. He served for twenty years as a member of the Board of Regents of the State of New York, and is President of Kenneth B. Clark & Associates, Inc., a firm that provides consultation to educational institutions, corporations and government agencies.Copyright is not owned by Springfield College.

Transmission through two-dimensional tight-binding lattices
No full textA methodology of transmission through two-dimensional tight-binding lattices is presented. The theory is formulated in terms of matrix algebra and the relationships between the matrices are examined in detail. The features specific to tight-binding systems are contrasted to those for more general transmission problems. Illustrative examples are given to indicate the wide applicability of the methodology.PT: J; CR: BARUT AO, 1992, PHYS REV LETT, V68, P3571 FARCHIONI R, 1996, PHYS REV B, V53, P4294 HUANG DH, 1992, SOLID STATE COMMUN, V84, P1061 IMRY Y, 1986, EUROPHYS LETT, V1, P249 KOLAR M, 1989, J PHYS-CONDENS MAT, V1, P823 PICHARD JL, 1994, THESIS U PARIS ORSAY SCHWABE H, 1997, PHYS REV B, V56, P8026 TSUNETSUGU H, 1988, PHYS REV B, V38, P10109 TSUNETSUGU H, 1990, J PHYS SOC JPN, V59, P3057 TSUNETSUGU H, 1991, PHYS REV B, V43, P8892 UEDA K, 1987, PHYS REV LETT, V58, P1272; NR: 11; TC: 1; J9: PHYS REV B; PG: 6; GA: 372FWSource type: Electronic(1
Many-electron theory of resonant charge transfer: Role of surface states in He and He+ scattering off Si(100)
No full textA many-electron theory of resonant charge transfer, originally formulated for the scattering of an atom with an empty valence orbital from a surface, is extended to treat the case where the valence orbital is initially occupied by one or two electrons. The scattering of He and He+ from the Si(001) surface is investigated. The interaction is assumed to be with the narrow band of surface states, and not the much wider bulk band. As a result, considerable oscillations are found in the ionization and/or neutralization probabilities as a function of the incident energy.PT: J; CR: AMOS AT, 1989, ADV CHEM PHYS, V76, P335 AMOS AT, 1989, SOLID STATE COMMUN, V71, P449 BLOSS W, 1978, SURF SCI, V72, P277 BRAKO R, 1981, SURF SCI, V108, P253 BURROWS BL, 1984, Q APPL MATH, V42, P73 BURROWS BL, 1990, J PHYS A-MATH GEN, V23, P1101 BURROWS BL, 1991, SURF SCI, V253, P365 CHADI DJ, 1975, PHYS STATUS SOLIDI B, V68, P405 HAGSTRUM HD, 1954, PHYS REV, V96, P336 HAGSTRUM HD, 1961, PHYS REV, V122, P83 HERMAN F, 1963, ATOMIC STRUCTURE CAL IHM J, 1980, PHYS REV B, V21, P4592 MUDA Y, 1980, SURF SCI, V97, P283 MUDA Y, 1988, NUCL INSTRUM METH B, V33, P388 MUDA Y, 1988, PHYS REV B, V37, P7048 PAULING L, 1935, INTRO QUANTUM MECHAN ROBERTS N, 1990, SURF SCI, V236, P112 SOUDA R, 1985, SURF SCI, V150, L59 SOUDA R, 1986, NUCL INSTRUM METH B, V15, P114 SOUDA R, 1986, NUCL INSTRUM METH B, V15, P138 SOUDA R, 1986, SURF SCI, V176, P657 SULSTON KW, 1988, PHYS REV B, V37, P9121 SULSTON KW, 1988, SURF SCI, V197, P555 SULSTON KW, 1989, SURF SCI, V244, P543 WEAKLIEM PC, 1990, SURF SCI, V232, L219 WEISENDANGER R, 1990, SURF SCI, V232, P1; NR: 26; TC: 4; J9: PHYS REV B; PG: 11; GA: HZ245Source type: Electronic(1

Relationship quality and family formation in Europe
No full textThe increase in cohabitation and nonmarital childbearing across Europe has raised questions about who still marries either before or after having a child. Although prior studies have addressed the sequence of marriage and childbearing, few have examined the role of relationship quality in these transitions. Here we employ a cross-national perspective to study the association between relationship quality and marriage and/or first birth within cohabitation. Using the Generations and Gender Survey and UK Household Longitudinal Study, we study seven European countries (Austria, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and UK). We employ competing risk hazard models to follow respondents as they 1) transition from cohabitation into marriage or conception (or separation); 2) transition to marriage (or separation) after having a birth within cohabitation. Results show that cohabitors with higher relationship quality are more marriage prone than those in lower quality relationships in Austria, France, Hungary, and the UK, but not in the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Instead, higher relationship quality is associated with higher conception risks in cohabitation in Sweden. After childbearing, we find a positive association between relationship quality and marriage among cohabiting parents in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. These results suggest that marriage is still important for couples with higher quality relationships; however, in countries where cohabitation is widespread, the timing of marriage may have shifted to after childbearing
Social Media Addiction and Social Media Reactions: The Implications for Job Performance

We engaged 96 students from a University in the Western United States to use a chain-referral sampling methodology of up to five individuals. Those students were to recruit individuals that were over the age of 18 and working at least 30 hours a week. For each completed survey they received extra credit in their undergraduate course. Of the potential 480 surveys, we received completed surveys from 326, which represented a 68% response rate.

Orbital non-orthogonality in surface-state theory
No full textThe introduction of non-orthogonal atomic orbitals, into the tight-binding approximation, gives rise to the existence of overlap terms in electronic band-structure calculations. In contrast to the zero-overlap situation, it is helpful to employ a tensorial Green-function approach to access the surface density of states, and investigate the effects of overlap on its behaviour.
