In this Article, the Author reflects on legal education and the role of law reviews. Law reviews not only serve as an educational opportunity, but offer potential legal reforms to help legal scholars, practitioners, and the public understand possible shortcomings of the current state of the law and help law and policy makers contemplate potential improvements
BabySpartan: Lasso-based SNARK for non-uniform computation
Get PDFLasso (Setty, Thaler, Wahby, ePrint 2023/1216) is a recent lookup argument that ensures that the prover cryptographically commits to only small values. This note describes BabySpartan, a SNARK for a large class of constraint systems that achieves the same property. The SNARK is a simple combination of SuperSpartan and Lasso. The specific class of constraint systems supported is a generalization of so-called Plonkish constraint systems (and a special case of customizable constraint systems (CCS)). Whereas a recent work called Jolt (Arun, Setty, and Thaler, ePrint 2023/1217) can be viewed as an application of Lasso to uniform computation, BabySpartan can be viewed as applying Lasso to non-uniform computation

Occurrence of <i>Neogloboquadrina pachyderma</i> new subspecies in the shelf-slope sediments of northern Indian Ocean
Get PDF72-75Specimens of N. pachyderma (Ehrenberg) which are considered to be typical bipolar, cooler water species are described in the recent shelf-slope sediments of the northern Indian Ocean as far north as 23° N in the Arabian Sea and 18° N in the Bay of Bengal. Studies of hydrological conditions in the Indian Ocean reveal that the Subtropical Subsurface Water Mass is traceable as far north as the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean Deep Bottom Water Mass originating in the deepest levels of the South Polar region moves northwards and passing through the equator enters the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal; and also the Indian Central Water Mass and the Equatorial Water Mass having different T-S relationships are responsible for the transport of this species to the middle and low latitudes. It is proposed that the forms which occur in the low latitudes (up to 25°s N) in the northern Indian Ocean be referred to henceforth as (1) (a) N. pachyderma dextralis typica Setty, n. subsp. (sensu stricto) if the species is right-coiled, and (b) Neogloboquadrina. pachyderma sinistralis typica n. subsp. Setty (sensu stricto) if the species is left-coiled; (2) as Neogloboquadrina. pachyderma dextralis, Setty n. subs. (sensu stricto) for those which occur in the mid-latitudes; and (3) all those forms which occur in the high latitudes as Neogloboquadrina. pachyderma (sensu stricto) where they are typically left coiled. Thus speciation and subspeciation into definite latitudinal zones helps greatly in the standardization of this species
National Security Secrecy
No full textExcessive government secrecy in the name of counterterrorism has had a corrosive effect on democracy and the rule of law. In the United States, when controversial national security programs were run by the Bush and Obama administrations - including in areas of targeted killings, torture, extraordinary rendition, and surveillance - excessive secrecy often prevented discovery of those actions. Both administrations insisted they acted legally, but often refused to explain how they interpreted the governing law to justify their actions. They also fought to keep Congress from exercising oversight, to keep courts from questioning the legality of these programs, and to keep the public in the dark. Similar patterns have arisen in other democracies around the world. In National Security Secrecy, Sudha Setty takes a critical and comparative look at these problems and demonstrates how government transparency, privacy, and accountability should provide the basis for reform.</jats:p
Direct measurement of the initial and early ratios of proton extrusion to oxygen uptake accompanying cytochrome c oxidation by rat liver mitoplasts
No full textWe have recently described new methods that enable the sharp initiation of a respiratory pulse by photolysis of the CO complex of cytochrome oxidase in a stirred suspension of mitochondria, succinate, O2, and CO (Setty, O. H., R. I. Shrager, B. Bunow, B. Reynafarje, A. L. Lehninger, and R. W. Hendler. 1986. Biophys. J. 50:391–404). Data are collected directly into a microcomputer at 10-ms intervals from fast responding O2 and pH electrodes. These procedures eliminate delays and uncertainties due to mixing times, recorder response, and recovery of the O2 electrode from responding to the injection of O2. Correction procedures were also described for the inherent electrode delays. These procedures revealed an initial burst in medium acidification and a lag in O2 uptake that led to H+/O rates of 20–30 during the first 50 ms and relaxed to "normal" levels by 300 ms. Subsequent changes in [H+] and [O2] followed time courses that appeared to be, but were not strictly, first order. We describe here similar studies in which cytochrome c served as electron donor to site III of rat liver mitoplasts. A qualitatively similar but quantitatively smaller burst in medium acidification and H+/O ratio was seen in these studies. Implications of the previous (Setty et al., 1986) and current studies on defining "mechanistic" H+/O ratios are discussed
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
