论保证期间与诉讼时效的转换及适用

保证合同是主债权合同的从合同，从主、从合同整体角度分析，存在着主合同诉讼时效、保证合同诉讼时效、保证期间三种时限，本文试图以一般保证、连带责任保证为线索对三者的转换、适用关系加以讨论。在此基础上提出了保证期间与诉讼时效转换、适用的立法建议，以期对我国保证担保法律实践有所裨益。     

Quantitative analysis of amplifiable DNA in tissues exposed to various environments using competitive PCR assays

Competitive PCR assays were established for the mitochondrial DNA hypervariable region I and the human amelogenin locus. Using these assays, the copy numbers of DNA participating in PCR (amplifiable DNA) were quantified in tissues exposed to different environments. Human ribs, skin and nails were left in three exposure conditions (in the open air, in soil and in water). The amounts of amplifiable DNA in these tissues were quantified during a time period of up to two months. The amount of amplifiable DNA was well preserved in hard tissues (ribs and nails) regardless of the exposure conditions, whereas the soft tissues immersed in water showed a rapid decrease in amplifiable DNA. Strong PCR inhibition was observed in the DNA extracts obtained from buried bones. This phenomenon was clearly identified from an amplification failure of the internal standards in the competitive PCR. A preliminary examination to identify the PCR inhibitor suggested that the soil itself contributed to the inhibition. In addition, the amounts of amplifiable DNA in case samples were also investigated.     

论个人信用制度建设

当前,我国经济生活中的个人信用失范问题由于经济人的机会主义倾向、信息不对称和契约不完全等原因日渐突出,严重阻碍着经济资源的有效配置和市场经济的有序运行。加强个人信用制度建设,培育诚实守信的社会风尚,是我国当前物质文明建设和精神文明建设的重要任务。     

公司本质论纲——公司法理论体系逻辑起点解读

对公司本质的承诺直接决定着公司法理论的走向。本文从超越“唯一本质观”出发 ,全面评述了法人拟制说、法人否认说和法人实在说的理论优势和局限及其对立法实践的影响。在此基础上 ,介绍了“公司的合同理论”的基本主张 ,系统分析了该种公司本质观的理论优势 ,认为对公司本质的这种承诺必将引发公司法研究的整体转向 ,为公司法研究提供一个极具潜力的理论生长点。

Noncompetition Clauses: Unreasonable or Efficient?

Generally, legislators and courts look upon noncompetition agreements unfavourably. This paper questions the assumptions underlying the traditional theories on noncompetition clauses and advances two theories that have previously not been found in the legal literature. It is argued that noncompetition clauses are used as a device to self-select employees who desire a long-term contract with the firm. Furthermore, employees agree to these clauses to guarantee that the employer will make specific investments in the employment relationship. The noncompetition agreement protects the creation and distribution of the surplus of the employment relationship. Legal restrictions on noncompetition clauses have the danger of decreasing the ex ante value of the employment relationship. The result will be lower investments and lower wages.     

丙酸钠和丙酮酸钠对体外培养牛肝细胞内丙酮酸羟化酶基因mRNA水平的影响

在成功构建牛肝细胞培养模型和PC基因DNA竞争模板的基础上,采用竞争RT-PCR方法检测了丙酸钠和丙酮酸钠对体外培养新生牛单层肝细胞PC基因mRNA丰度的影响。结果,随着丙酸钠浓度的升高,PC基因mRNA水平呈上升趋势,PC基因mRNA对丙酸钠的耐受范围较广;随着丙酮酸钠浓度的升高PC基因mRNA水平呈先上升后下降的趋势。结果表明,肝细胞内PC基因mRNA的表达水平受丙酮酸钠浓度的调控,在一定范围内丙酮酸钠对PC基因mRNA的转录具有促进作用,而浓度过高时则起抑制作用。     

用人单位非法解除劳动合同若干法律问题研究

当前劳动法及其他相关法律法规对用人单位非法解除劳动合同的规定相当粗糙,有必要对用人单位非法解除劳动合同中相关法律问题进行比较详尽的研究,为相关法律规定的修改及《劳动合同法》的制定提供理论支持。     

建设工程"黑白合同"法律问题研究--兼对最高法院一条司法解释的批评

"黑白合同"是一种交易现象,是指在交易过程中,交易双方基于某种利益考虑对同一合同标的物签订了价款存在明显差异或者履行方式存在差异的两份合同,其中一份作了备案、登记等公示并由双方私下承诺不实际履行.在当事人持不同合同主张权利的建设工程"黑白合同"纠纷中,究竟以什么合同作为结算工程款的依据,应看当事人的真实意思表示,并看相应合同是否存在效力上的法律否定.最高法院关于"黑白合同"效力的司法解释存在诸多问题,适用过程中可能引起灾难性后果.     

U.K. Needs Clear Choice on China Relations

正CHINA and Britain have potentially one of the world’s most fruitful international economic relationships.Not only do they account for 16 percent of world GDP,but their two economies are mutually complementary rather than competitive.China is now the world’s largest industrial producer,
