AHC interview with Hermine M. Kreinces-Kovacs
No full textSeptember 22, 2011Hermine Kreinces-Kovacs née Rauch was born March 25, 1914 in Vienna, Austria, where she was raised on Engels-Platz in a single parent home, her father never had been living with her family. She worked as a designer for Augarten Porzellanmanufaktur in Vienna. After having tried unsuccessfully to emigrate to Switzerland, Hermine Rauch managed to go to England in 1938, were she worked as a designer. She kept on working as a designer in the US as well, which she reached in 1948. Hermine Kreinces-Kovacs lived in Brooklyn until her employer relocated to Florida in 1963.Digital recordin

Scalia’s Bargain
No full textIn 1970, Senator Edward M. Kennedy introduced a bill to add a waiver of sovereign immunity to the Administrative Procedure Act. A series of Supreme Court opinions had left sovereign immunity doctrine hopelessly muddled, making it unclear when plaintiffs could challenge federal agency actions in court. Initially, Kennedy's bill languished because the Executive Branch opposed it. Then Antonin Scalia became Assistant Attorney General, and the Executive Branch changed its position. As Scalia explained, however, the Executive Branch conditioned its support for the bill on the understanding that the amendment would not throw open the courthouse doors for claims against the United States, but would be subject to the other limitations of the APA. The groups that had drafted the bill shared that understanding. Senator Kennedy accepted Scalia's conditions, and the bill finally passed in 1976.
Unfortunately, the amendment that was meant to clarify the law has not done so. Instead, the question of how to interpret the APA's waiver of sovereign immunity has generated inter- and intra-circuit splits and general confusion. Moreover, the majority of the federal courts of appeals have ignored Scalia and Kennedy's bargain and have held that the waiver of sovereign immunity in the APA is not constrained by the other limitations in the APA. This article--the first to address this issue--argues that the majority approach misinterprets the waiver and raises serious concerns related to separation of powers, democratic legitimacy, and the institutional competence of the courts, and should not stand.Peer reviewe

Reply to Stanley and Kovacs Re: Is child sexual abuse declining? Evidence from a population survey of men and women in Australia (Dunne, Purdie, Cook, Boyle, & Najman, 2003)
No full textWe agree with Janet Stanley and Katie Kovacs that the findings of this study are not definitive. The trends should be interpreted cautiously until they can be replicated. This is true of all survey research, especially when the focus is on sensitive social problems…
The Kovacs effect in model glasses
No full text17 pages, 6 figuresInternational audienceWe discuss the 'memory effect' discovered in the 60's by Kovacs in temperature shift experiments on glassy polymers, where the volume (or energy) displays a non monotonous time behaviour. This effect is generic and is observed on a variety of different glassy systems (including granular materials). The aim of this paper is to discuss whether some microscopic information can be extracted from a quantitative analysis of the 'Kovacs hump'. We study analytically two families of theoretical models: domain growth and traps, for which detailed predictions of the shape of the hump can be obtained. Qualitatively, the Kovacs effect reflects the heterogeneity of the system: its description requires to deal not only with averages but with a full probability distribution (of domain sizes or of relaxation times). We end by some suggestions for a quantitative analysis of experimental results

Non-renormalisation of extremal correlators in SYM theory
No full textWe show that extremal correlators of chiral primary operators in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with SU(N) gauge group are neither renormalised at first (g(2)) order in perturbation theory nor receive contribution from any instanton sector at leading order in the semiclassical expansion. This lends support to the strongest version of a new prediction recently put forward on the basis of the AdS/SCFT correspondence. (C) 1999 published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
