"First pass phenomenon" of inhaled gas in the fire victims

We investigated the differences in the levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), cyanide (HCN) and petroleum fuels (gasoline and kerosene) between left and right ventricular bloods from fire victims. COHb was slightly, and HCN and petroleum fuels were markedly higher levels in the left than those in the right. These effects were so called 'first pass phenomena' due to the circulation, diffusion and metabolization before the deaths of fire victims.     

Men and women's attributions of blame for domestic violence

Attributions of blame for the first and latest episodes of violence were assessed in a sample of 139 couples who were referred to a mandatory domestic violence treatment program in the military. Use of a methodology which allows for reports of nonmutually exclusive categories of attribution from both members of the dyad revealed more complex patterns of attributions than reflected in the existing literature. In addition, there were low rates of agreement within couples as to who was to blame for the violence. Although both men and women exhibited a high frequency of blaming their partner for both episodes of violence, men were significantly more likely to blame themselves for the latest than for the first episode. Attributions of blame were related to contextual variables in both men and women. Sex specific relationships emerged. These results were discussed with specific reference to predictions derived from attribution theory and their clinical implications.     

Capillary gas-liquid chromatography separation of phenethylamines in amphetamine-positive urine samples

Good gas chromatography (GC) separation of molecules is essential for clean gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) confirmation of compounds. The trifluoro derivatives of ephedrine (E) and methamphetamine (MA) coelute on dimethyl silicone capillary columns, such as DB-1, which are most commonly used by chromatographers. Methods are described to separate E and MA to aid GC/MS confirmations of methamphetamine, ephedrine, or both E and MA together, whichever may be present in Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)-analyzed amphetamine-positive urine samples. The use of the heptafluoro derivatives of E and MA on a DB-1 column, or the trifluoro derivatives of E and MA on a DB-17 column, is suggested for good gas chromatographic separation.

法律、秩序与自由——与哈耶克的边界之旅

法律并非全能由人的理性设计与安排。理性是分裂的、忧郁的、恐惧的 ,也是自由的。我们的行为乃是在一种无知的情境中展开的 ,秩序与法律在无知中生成。自生自发秩序 (民间法 )与人造秩序 (国家法 )两者的生发方式、被遵从方式以及目的指涉与对象指向均不同 ,两者的冲突是绝对的。法律无力引导道德 ,法律只是自由的保护神 ,而非自由之敌。     

杭州经济发展中的治安环境问题研究

经济发展中的治安环境问题最直接的表现是刑事犯罪问题。建国以来50年间 ,杭州市经济发展经历了三个历史阶段 ,刑事犯罪经历了三个时期、四个高峰。从两者的发展过程看 ,经济发展与刑事犯罪的关系反映了以下基本规律 :1.经济发展不是导致犯罪增长的必然因素 ,但对刑事犯罪变化起着重要的影响作用 ;2.刑事犯罪具有强烈的反社会性 ,对经济发展起严重的破坏作用 ;3.经济发展既是引起刑事犯罪增多的重要因素 ,又为控制和减少犯罪创造了条件。目前 ,杭州市在经济快速发展时期出现犯罪增长的现象 ,究其原因 ,主要由四对基本矛盾引起。为了创造一个良好的社会治安环境 ,必须建立一个有效的犯罪防控机制 ,包括打击、防范、管理、法律、教育五个机制。     

论我国旅游经济法制建设

加入WTO后 ,我国的经济立法 ,特别是涉外经济立法必将向国际标准靠齐。在旅游经济领域 ,世界贸易组织的一揽子协定 ,特别是其中的《服务贸易总协定》(GATS)所确立的一系列法律规范 ,将成为我国旅游法制建设的“国际标准”。本文着重根据《协定》的有关法律规范 ,对我国旅游经济法制建设的法理依据作一阐述 ,在此基础上从立法学的角度剖析我国旅游经济法制建设的现状 ,并提出若干建议。     

Metropolitan Planning Organizations and the New Regionalism: The Case of Louisville

This article outlines the new regionalism movement and its metropolitanagenda, reviews federal efforts to promote new regionalism underISTEA and TEA–21, considers how the new federal policieschanged the role of metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs)in transportation planning by examining the MPO for the Louisvillemetropolis, and assesses the MPO process in Louisville. Thelocal decision of whether to build a new bridge across the OhioRiver was a major test of the enhanced MPO process. Federaltransportation policies enhanced regional coordination and cooperationin transportation planning in the Louisville metropolis resultingin a consensus plan to build two bridges across the Ohio River.However, the MPO process did not lead to the development ofa metropolitan-wide interest or perspective. Moreover, the newregionalist agenda was not advanced because sprawl was not afactor in the decision on whether and where to build the bridges.
