Other title: Senate Bill 360 - Testimony on Behalf of the Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board by David Springe, Consumer Counsel
No full textapplication/pdf; "February 3, 2004."; Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Utilities Committee, presented by David Springe, Consumer Counsel, Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board.Testimony in opposition to Senate Bill 360. "First ... Codifying a capital recovery mechanism removes the Commission's authority and flexibility to design a fair and balanced approach to capitol recovery, if it chooses to implement such a mechanism. Second, providing this type of adjustment certainly favors the utility by decreasing utility risk for recovery of capital expenditures. However, what do consumers get out of this type of adjustment, other than higher rates? ... Third, allowing a utility to implement single-issue adjustments between rate cases is one sided without allowing a review of all changes that may affect rates. ... Fourth, for electric utilities, section (g)(7) of the bill states the investments subject to recovery under this subsection "shall be limited" to transmission and distribution. This language ignores the potential conflict with federal transmission recovery schemes. ... Fifth, and perhaps most importantly, this bill will minimize, or even eliminate the incentive to reach settlement among the parties in a rate case at the Commission."

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe

Rooting of Prosopis alba mini-cuttings
No full textMesquite (Prosopis alba Grisebach), an important species in arid and semiarid regions, is currently commercially propagated by seeds and so there is great interest in developing techniques for species propagation, domestication and improvement. Cloning through mini-cuttings is a new and promising technique for the production of clonal seedlings of forest species. The main objective of this work was to evaluate vegetative propagation using the mini-cutting technique and indolebutyric acid (IBA) at different concentrations (0, 3,000, 4,500, 6,000 and 7,500 mg L−1) on rooting of P. alba clones. Rooting was achieved in 98?100 % of the mini-cuttings at all concentrations tested. Increasing IBA concentration resulted in an increase in the number of leaves and leaflets, as well as in fresh matter weight and number and length of roots of clone seedlings, until an optimum point (between 3480 and 4800 mg L−1) was reached. Plants were also vegetatively propagated in the field via conventional clonal garden cuttings under the same rooting conditions to compare the efficiency of the two propagation techniques. Mini-cuttings showed higher rooting and survival percentages than cuttings. A correlation analysis conducted between characteristics of stock plants (height, diameter, number of shoots) and shoots (height, diameter) showed a positive correlation between rooting and height of shoots with total root length, leaflet number, and height of clonal seedlings. We propose the mini-cutting technique as a tool for P. alba cloning.Fil: Araujo Vieira de Souza, Jonicelia Cristina. Universidad Nacional del Litoral. Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias; Argentina.
