Brief Investigatory Detentions: A Critique of R. v. Simpson
No full textIn this article, the author examines the brief investigative detention power created by the Ontario Court of Appeal in R. v. Simpson and challenges both the Court\u27s reasoning and the way in which the decision has been followed in other Canadian jurisdictions. The common law power to detain an individual, based upon prominent U.S. and British case law, is inconsistent with the previous Supreme Court jurisprudence on police powers. The author demonstrates this by analyzing several cases involving police powers and joins the list of commentators who have urged the country\u27s highest court to re-examine the Simpson doctrine. The author also argues that there has been a tendency for U.S. courts to grant increased discretion to the police even when such powers are unwarranted. There is a real possibility of a similar accretion of police powers in Canada. Moreover, the American experience also indicates that members of minority groups are frequently subjected to the rigours of brief investigative detention, often only because of their ethnic identity. Recent studies show that the same trend exists in Canada, serving to challenge democratic and egalitarian values that the Charter is designed to protect. The solution, according to the author, lies not with the Courts, but with Parliament taking the opportunity to define the extent and limits of brief investigative detentions

This unique event involves representative citizens, each acting as host to an Eagle Scout at a dinner at the Officer\u27s Club, March Air Force Base, at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 14-, 1967. It will mean a great deal to the Scout assigned to you, to get to know you personally and to have a man of your standing interested in knowing him, and you, yourself, will find it a delightful experience. The Eagle Scou sponsoring o to you will Scout you spo Committee has invited you to have the opportunity of ys and being in attendance at this dinner. The cost he dinner, taxes, and gratuities for yourself and the ticket is enclosed - your Eagle is being sent a ticket For your information, we sent each Eagle Scout a questionnaire, which he fills out, giving pertinent information concerning himself. Enclosed is the information about your Eagle Scout. Please phone him and make transportation arrangements An Eagle Scout, as you probably know, has achieved the highest rank in Scouting and in doing so has had to meet the requirements in twenty-one Merit Badge subjects including various physical accomplishments. They are young men who are trained in those qualifications that contribute to good citizenship and leadership. They deserve recognition and the simulus that comes through a representative citizen of the community showing an interest in them. Robert F. Worley, Major General, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Headquarters Tactical Air Command, Langley AFB, Virginia will be the speaker, Gen. Worley was born in Riverside & became an Eagle Scout in Troop 7, Riverside, in June, 1934. l4**4> /^ UA^XA\/ i71 3 H t^ z^p RSSAp k*--*- <A^. Sincerely yours, EAGLE RECOGNITION DINNER COMMITTEE Ends.

Kanter Revisited: Gender, Power and (In)visibility
No full textThis paper revisits Kanter's (1977) seminal work Men and Women of the Corporation, rereading her account of numerical advantage and disadvantage through a poststructuralist lens which exposes hidden dimensions of gendered power. This lens is captured in the ‘(In)visibility Vortex’ (Lewis and Simpson, 2010) which highlights struggles and tensions around the norm through processes of preservation and concealment within the norm as well as dynamics of revealing, exposure and disappearance as features of the margins. The study draws on developments in feminist theorizing, specially around visibility, invisibility and power, to facilitate this rereading. In so doing, the author demonstrate that while Kanter retreated from explanations based on the gendering of organizations or from recognition of gendered power, these dynamics can be identified in her text. The authors suggest that rereading classic texts can surface dimensions of organizations that have contemporary significance and can inform future research
Diffuse gas properties and stellar metallicities in cosmological simulations of disc galaxy formation
No full textWe analyse the properties of the circumgalactic medium and the metal content of the stars comprising the central galaxy in eight hydrodynamical ‘zoom-in’ simulations of disc galaxy formation. We use these properties as a benchmark for our model of galaxy formation physics implemented in the moving-mesh code arepo, which succeeds in forming quite realistic late-type spirals in the set of ‘Aquarius’ initial conditions of Milky-Way-sized haloes. Galactic winds significantly influence the morphology of the circumgalactic medium and induce bipolar features in the distribution of heavy elements. They also affect the thermodynamic properties of the circumgalactic gas by supplying an energy input that sustains its radiative losses. Although a significant fraction of the heavy elements are transferred from the central galaxy to the halo, and even beyond the virial radius, enough metals are retained by stars to yield a peak in their metallicity distributions at about Z⊙. All our default runs overestimate the stellar [O/Fe] ratio, an effect that we demonstrate can be rectified by an increase of the adopted Type Ia supernova rate. Nevertheless, the models have difficulty in producing stellar metallicity gradients of the same strength as observed in the Milky Way
Intracellular distribution and stability of a luminescent rhenium(i) tricarbonyl tetrazolato complex using epifluorescence microscopy in conjunction with X-ray fluorescence imaging

Link to a related website: https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1374605, Open Access via UnpaywallOptical epifluorescence microscopy was used in conjunction with X-ray fluorescence imaging to monitor the stability and intracellular distribution of the luminescent rhenium(i) complex fac-[Re(CO)3(phen)L], where phen = 1,10-phenathroline and L = 5-(4-iodophenyl)tetrazolato, in 22Rv1 cells. The rhenium complex showed no signs of ancillary ligand dissociation, a conclusion based on data obtained via X-ray fluorescence imaging aligning iodine and rhenium distributions. A diffuse reticular localisation was detected for the complex in the nuclear/perinuclear region of cells, by either optical or X-ray fluorescence imaging techniques. X-ray fluorescence also showed that the rhenium complex disrupted the homeostasis of some biologically relevant elements, such as chlorine, potassium and zinc.J. L. Wedding, H. H. Harris, C. A.

Pulse transit time measured by photoplethysmography improves the accuracy of heart rate as a surrogate measure of cardiac output, stroke volume and oxygen uptake in response to graded exercise
No full textHeart rate (HR) is a valuable and widespread measure for physical training programs, although its description of conditioning is limited to the cardiac response to exercise. More comprehensive measures of exercise adaptation include cardiac output ((Q) over dot), stroke volume (SV) and oxygen uptake ((V) over dotO(2)), but these physiological parameters can be measured only with cumbersome equipment installed in clinical settings. In this work, we explore the ability of pulse transit time (PTT) to represent a valuable pairing with HR for indirectly estimating (Q) over dot, SV and (V) over dotO(2) non-invasively. PTT was measured as the time interval between the peak of the electrocardiographic (ECG) R-wave and the onset of the photoplethysmography (PPG) waveform at the periphery (i.e. fingertip) with a portable sensor. Fifteen healthy young subjects underwent a graded incremental cycling protocol after which HR and PTT were correlated with (Q) over dot, SV and (V) over dotO(2) using linear mixed models. The addition of PTT significantly improved the modeling of (Q) over dot, SV and (V) over dotO(2) at the individual level (R-1(2) = 0.419 for SV, 0.548 for (Q) over dot, and 0.771 for (V) over dotO(2)) compared to predictive models based solely on HR (R-1(2) = 0.379 for SV, 0.503 for (Q) over dot, and 0.745 for (V) over dotO(2)). While challenges in sensitivity and artifact rejection exist, combining PTT with HR holds potential for development of novel wearable sensors that provide exercise assessment largely superior to HR monitors
New Zealand Lost Cases: Case Note: R v Margaret Reardon
No full textThis note considers the case of R v Margaret Reardon. The case is of historical importance as she was the only woman to ever be sentenced to transportation in New Zealand. She was involved in three Supreme Court cases during 1848; as victim, witness and accused. Her case is indicative of how women were dealt with by the courts in the early colony
Large water-hammer pressure for column separation in pipelines
No full textWater-hammer pressures in a pipeline due to the collapse of a vapor cavity adjacent to a valve are investigated. A water-hammer event is initiated by the closure of a valve in a simple reservoir-pipeline-valve system. The sequence of events following an instantaneous valve closure leading to the formation and collapse of a vapor cavity and the resultant occurrence of a short-duration pressure pulse are described. Short-duration pressure pulses result from the superposition of the valve-closure water-hammer wave and the wave generated by the collapse of the vapor cavity. The resulting maximum pressure may exceed the Joukowsky pressure generated from the initial valve closure. A series of numerical model analyses exhibiting short-duration pressure pulses are presented. In addition, experimental results supporting the findings of the numerical studies are also presented. Experimental plots of hydraulic grade line versus time exhibit short-duration pressure pulses of different shape and characteristics.Angus R. Simpson and E. Benjamin Wyli
