Teaching comparative criminal procedure: Russian dolls, color charts, and cappuccino

ABSTRACT Two major traditions-common law and civil law—provide the legal bases for most criminal justice systems in the Western world. Though sharp differences still exist, the past two centuries have witnessed a convergence between the two systems. This article suggests a method to introduce these two systems. It also suggests analogies and provides class handouts for an overview lecture that may be used in comparative criminal justice classes or, more commonly, in any criminal justice class in which the instructor wishes to introduce comparative criminal processes efficiently and with some depth.

Augmentative rhinoplasty with an "auricular gibbus".

The philosophy of this work is to revise an interesting way to compensate a lack of nasal volume. Autologous auricular cartilage is used to augment a hollow dorsum. In this way, we treat depressed, asymmetrical, and irregular dorsa. We have 10 years' experience with this technique, in a total of nearly 350 cases. Among these cases are traumatic, secondary, and congenital noses. Prior to using this technique, we employed nasal septum, iliac crest bone or calotte, rib, dermis, fascia, etc. But actually, the "neogibbus" provided by the upper fossette of the concha of the auricle is enough, except for cases of exceptional volume needs. The ear does not suffer any damage when it is treated appropriately, and a uni- or bilateral graft can be taken, if necessary, to create a strong gibbus in the manner of a "sarcophagus" or of "Russian dolls."

Prediction of charge separation in GaAs/AlAs cylindrical nanostructures

We have contrasted the quantum confinement of (i) multiple quantum wells of flat GaAs and AlAs layers, i.e. $(\GaAs)_{m}/(\AlAs)_n/(\GaAs)_p/(\AlAs)_q$, with (ii) ``cylindrical Russian Dolls'' -- an equivalent sequence of wells and barriers arranged as concentric wires. Using a pseudopotential plane-wave calculation, we identified theoretically a set of numbers ($m,n,p$ and $q$) such that charge separation can exist in ``cylindrical Russian Dolls'': the CBM is localized in the inner GaAs layer, while the VBM is localized in the outer GaAs layer.

A document prepared for the South Manchester District Health Authority

Most common mental disorders - becoming anxious, distressed or depressed - are dealt with by family doctors. In order to be able to understand the situation in South Manchester, we start by comparing figures for all mental disorders here with the situation in the country as a whole (Table I). The figures in the vertical columns are like Russian dolls: each figure below is contained within the figure above it!

Invasion by Russian Dolls: On Privacy and Intrusion

The motherline may we carry our mothers forth in our bellies

Abstract Like those old pear-shaped Russian dolls that open at the middle to reveal another and another, down to the peasized, irreducible minim, may we carry our mothers forth in our bellies. May we, borne onward by our daughters, ride in the Envelope of Almost-Injnity, that chain letter good for the next twenty-five thousand days of their lives.

A Structural Model of Phenomena with Embedding in Literature and Other Arts

Speaking of the play with a play-within-the-play, Dieter Mehl (1965: 42) once said that there had hardly [been] any attempt to treat the subject comprehensively, and that he was even sure whether it would be possible at all, because such a bewildering variety would have to be included [and because the subject] is ... much more complex and less easily defined than many other conventions. The same holds true of the whole of the structural category to which the play with a play-within-the-play belongs, namely, what may be called embeddingembedded objects, which also includes phenomena such as novels with novels-within-the-novel, paintings with paintings-within-the-painting, and films with films-within-the-film (or with paintings or plays-withinthe-film), Chinese boxes and Russian dolls, paradoxes, quotations and free indirect speech, mise en abyme (in some usages of the term), and many other things.' Nevertheless, the present paper, taking Mehl's words as a challenge, constitutes an attempt to treat comprehensively or theoretically not only the play with a play-within-the-play

Volavérunt

‘Impossible not to think of Russian dolls,’ writes Antonio Larreta in the prologue to this novel The book juxtaposes different kinds of testimony to cast varying lights on historical events. The novel turns on the death in July 1802 of Maria del Pilar Teresa Cayetana de Silva y Alvarez de Toledo, the 13th Duchess of Alba and the subject of several paintings by Francisco Goya, notably the famous pair of pictures, La Maja Vestida ('La Maja clothed) and La Maja Desnuda (‘La Maja nude’), the second of which caused a major scandal in Spanish society when it was exhibited The novel is constructed around two apocryphal testimonies regarding her death, one supposedly by Goya himself, and the other by Don Manuel Godoy, Duke of Alcudia, a friend but political enemy of the Duchess. The first of these is recounted by Godoy as part of his own statement written in 1848. Both testimonies, plus a police report about the death and a letter sent to Godoy by another participant in the events, are purportedly found by the author in 1980 among papers in a house in Paris belonging to his Uruguayan mother's third husband, Lorenzo de Pita y Evora, Marquess of Peñadolida. There are notes added throughout the text written notionally by Pita y Evora in 1939 and by Larreta himself. The issue throughout is whether the Duchess died naturally, was poisoned or committed suicide. The novel is concerned with the corruption of a luxurious and decadent aristocratic culture, preoccupied with political intrigue and artistic show. The figure of the Duchess, a brilliant schemer, hostess and cocaine addict, is central to this world; her death throws it into crisis, setting up reverberations which echo down the ensuing 150 years. The extract of Volavérunt which follows is from Goya's description of the soiree after which the Duchess is found dying. The paragraph in parentheses is comment by Godoy, and the notes are by Larreta drawing from Pita y Evora (notionally, of course). Goya, it should be pointed out, was substantially deaf by the time of the events he describes.

Russian Dolls

In an earlier number of this Bulletin, P. Erdös [1] posed the following problem. “For each line ℓ of the plane, Aℓ is a segment of ℓ. Show that the set ∪ℓAℓ contains the sides of a triangle.” One objective of this paper is to prove a strengthened version of this result in iV-dimensions. As usual denotes the cardinality of the natural numbers and c, the cardinality of the real numbers.

Dopamine in the nucleus accumbens: preferential increase of DA turnover by rat prolactin

The central nervous system (CNS) has been proposed to be formed by functional modules (FMs) that are structurally organized as “Russian dolls”, which form transient assemblies, according to the different integrative tasks that networks within the CNS have to carry out. Integration is achieved by means of communication processes among and within FMs. Two major types of communication processes occur in the CNS, wiring transmission (WT) and volume transmission (VT). WT involves classical synaptic transmission via diffusion of a neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft, while VT is transmission via a neuroactive substance that is carried by the extracellular and cerebrospinal fluids to distant targets. Recently, evidence has been obtained for the existence of tunneling nanotubes that mediate WT and microvesicles that mediate VT, allowing horizontal transfer of receptors, RNAs, and micro-RNAs.The recognition and decoding process at the target level involves receptor heteromers (receptor mosaics) that are generated by direct receptor–receptor interactions, as an emergent property of this system. Receptor mosaics allow the integration of incoming information at the plasma membrane level. These new aspects of the structural and functional organization of the CNS open up a new field of investigation in the physiology and pathology of the CNS.
