Odessa: genius and death in a city of dreams

Abstract: Charles King offers a highly engaging story about Odessa. A city connected with Sergei Eisenstein's film Potemkin, easygoing humor and irony, Soviet popular music, and today's Brighton Beach, Odess...

Who Takes Advanced Placement (AP)

Abstract: This paper provides an analysis of who takes Advanced Placement (AP) Economics. We find large differences in enrollment in AP Economics across groups. Specifically, African-American and Hispanic students and students from low-income backgrounds are about half as likely to be enrolled in AP Economics as other students. However, once we control for prior academic achievement in Geometry, African-American and Hispanic students are overrepresented relative to whites and the difference between low-income and other students is reduced significantly. Female students are overrepresented relative to males, and Asian students are overrepresented relative to whites — this latter effect is large.

The B-10((p)over-right-arrow, gamma)C-11 reaction at astrophysically relevant energies

Abstract: The $^{10}\mathrm{B}(\stackrel{P\vec}{p},\ensuremath{\gamma})^{11}\mathrm{C}$ reaction was studied by detecting the $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-rays produced when 100-, 130-, and $160\text{\ensuremath{-}}\text{keV}$ polarized protons were stopped in a thick $^{10}\mathrm{B}$ target. Polarized and unpolarized incident beams were used to measure the cross section and vector analyzing power as a function of angle and energy for capture to the ground $({J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=3∕{2}^{\ensuremath{-}})$, the second $(E=4319\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{keV},{J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=5∕{2}^{\ensuremath{-}})$, and the fifth $(E=6478\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{keV},{J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=7∕{2}^{\ensuremath{-}})$ excited states of $^{11}\mathrm{C}$. The data were analyzed to obtain the amplitudes and phases of the contributing transition-matrix elements at each measured energy for all three transitions. Values of the astrophysical $S$ factors were obtained from the cross section data and are compared to previous results. A direct capture plus resonance model calculation was performed in an attempt to account for all measured quantities. It was found that the large $(\ensuremath{\sim}32%)$ value of ${A}_{y}(90\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{})$ observed in the case of capture to the ground state could be accounted for by including the sub-threshold resonance at $8420\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{keV}$.

CPA Firm Alumni as a Marketing Resource

Abstract: One way accounting firms can identify potential sources of referrals and new business is to look to past employees, or alumni, Although major firms recognize the importance of maintaining relationships with their alumni, no prior research has directly examined alumni systems in CPA firms or other business organizations. Therefore, an exploratory study was conducted to identify characteristics of employee and alumni programs that appear to influence the marketing value of alumni. Results indicate that several variables affect an alumnus' identification with and predisposition to benefit the firm. Suggestions are offered on ways the firm can positively influence these variables. Many implications also apply to other types of professional services firms.

The benefits of the Kyoto Protocol to developing countries

Abstract: The Kyoto Protocol relies on incentive-based regulations layered underneath a global cap on net emissions of greenhouse gases. Within the Kyoto Protocol are opportunities and constraints for signatory nations. Of concern to developing nations are the constraints the Kyoto Protocol could place on future growth. We examine the constraints and the opportunities offered to developing countries within the Kyoto Protocol. By identifying the potential costs and benefits the Kyoto Protocol has to offer to developing countries and by examining the incentives each create, we hope to spark serious investigations into ways to minimize the potential costs of entering the Kyoto Protocol and take full advantage of the potential benefits.
