Abstract:
AbstractThe significance of career choice in human life cannot be overstated. Many law students upon graduation do not proceed to mainstream legal practice. They pursue careers in public administration, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), as corporate secretaries, and so on. The aim of this study is to confirm the readiness of law students to proceed to legal practice upon graduation and to assess their level of career awareness in relation to law-related careers. The study also determined the areas of interest of law students in law-related careers. The study employed the survey research design in which questionnaires were used to collect data from the twelve universities that run the approved undergraduate law program up to 500 level in south-west Nigeria. Krejcie and Morgan's formula was used to select the sample size of 597. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that a majority of law students do not wish to proceed into mainstream legal practice. Law students’ career intentions are in a variety of legal careers.

Abstract:
AbstractI write this article in the spirit of the Persian poetic tradition, in which an answer to an earlier work takes off from the original and charts its own course. I will suggest that Tamerlane's recreation of the Mongol Empire was symbolic, and was part of his successful creation of a regional state which was at once Turco-Mongolian and Perso-Islamic. His experiment was continued and elaborated by his successors, and the resulting state provided a highly useful model for later dynasties in the Middle East and Central Asia.Through my long engagement with Mongols and Turks, David Morgan's influence and aid have been a constant advantage and his friendship a recurring pleasure. Our acquaintance began in 1987 with a kind letter he sent me after reading the manuscript forThe Rise and Rule of Tamerlanefor the Cambridge University Press. Since then I have profited from his scholarship, have used his two books to teach generations of students, and have called on him for uncountable letters of recommendation, always generously given. I also want to thank David for asking me to write the Mongol chapter for theNew Cambridge History of Islam, and thus attracting me into the Mongol period. It may seem odd to express my gratitude by writing an answer to David's article which is not entirely in agreement with his conclusions. I trust in the well-known openness of his mind and assume that he will take this in the spirit in which it is offered, as the continuation of many years of discussion.

Abstract:
Twenty-something John Dunn remembered July 17, 1872 well. A witness for the defense in both a bastardy trial brought by 15-year-old Mary Morgan and a later seduction suit brought by her father, John would recount that summer day by drawing on the rough, sexual slang he likely used in conversations with male friends. After he was sworn in, John informed the legal participants and curious local spectators gathered at the Perry County Circuit Court that the July 17 buggy ride with young Mary had presented him with the opportunity to “feel of her titties and monkey.” John's testimony was hardly the most vulgar given during the proceedings. Another character witness, Robert B. Ward, disclosed a particularly salacious conversation he had overheard while in the “privy” behind a DuQuoin general store. Eavesdropping, Ward listened to two young men discuss Mary Morgan's “condition” with one another. The man Ward recognized, Thomas Williams, told his friend he would leave the state rather than marry a girl who “ran around screwing this one and that one,” if Mary did happen to “swear the child on him.” Thomas's buddy agreed that dodging the law would be preferable to matrimony with Mary for she had not “behaved herself.” “I have screwed her as often as I have fingers and toes, or oftener, and you know it,” he confided to Thomas. “Yes I know that,” Thomas replied, “She don't know more than a hog whose child it is.”

Abstract:
Abstract This article discusses the popular video game Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) by Rockstar Games, which follows Arthur Morgan, a white outlaw, during the decline of the “Wild West” in 1898 and 1899. Taking up conversations of fugitivity in critical ethnic studies, this article maintains that fugitivity operates as a rhetorical trope that stands in for racial identity where the logic of postracialism denies investments in race. Analyzing the narrative, spatial, and kinesthetic elements of the game, this article argues that Morgan, and by extension the player, is aligned with historically and geographically racialized others through a fugitive relationship to space. While Rockstar, as a video game studio, may not see itself explicitly intervening in a racialized and racializing political imaginary in its fictional worldbuilding, the kinesthetic, narrative, and cartographic strategies the studio employs respond to a set of cultural assumptions rooted in the rhetoric of postracialism. As such, Red Dead Redemption 2 serves as a multifaceted text through which to interrogate the dynamics of that rhetoric as it is mobilized in representations of fugitivity and identity.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Gas cooling and accretion in haloes delivers mass and angular momentum on to galaxies. In this work, we investigate the accuracy of the modelling of this important process in several different semi-analytic (SA) galaxy formation models (galform, l-galaxies, and morgana) through comparisons with a hydrodynamical simulation performed with the moving-mesh code arepo. Both SA models and the simulation were run without any feedback or metal enrichment, in order to focus on the cooling and accretion process. All of the SA models considered here assume that gas cools from a spherical halo. We found that the assumption that the gas conserves its angular momentum when moving from the virial radius, rvir, to the central region of the halo, r ∼ 0.1rvir, is approximately consistent with the results from our simulation. We also found that, compared to the simulation, the morgana model tends to overestimate the mean specific angular momentum of cooled-down gas, the l-galaxies model also tends to overestimate this in low-redshift massive haloes, while the two older galform models tend to underestimate the angular momentum. In general, the predictions of the new galform cooling model developed by Hou et al. agree the best with the simulation.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this paper is to examine the ‘existence theory’ proposed by Patrick Baert, Marcus Morgan, and Rin Ushiyama. To this end, it focuses on some key issues that could, and arguably should, be explored in more detail, especially if the authors decide to develop their project further, permitting them to establish a new interdisciplinary branch of inquiry. The comments and suggestions made in this paper are meant to be constructive, supporting the idea that Baert, Morgan, and Ushiyama’s outline could, and should, be turned into a bold, systematic, and long-term research programme. More specifically, the in-depth analysis of Baert, Morgan, and Ushiyama’s theoretical framework demonstrates that their undertaking, which draws on central insights from both existentialism and phenomenology, contributes to bridging the disciplinary gap between philosophy and sociology. The paper concludes by asserting that Baert, Morgan, and Ushiyama’s model provides a solid foundation for an ambitious, but viable, project that may result in the creation of a new current of research, capable of generating valuable insights into the tension-laden confluence of existential milestones, existential ladders, and existential urgencies in the theatre of human life.

Full text
Abstract:
The study attempts to capture static (long-run) as well as short-run time-varying co-movement among the US, frontier and Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) equity markets (Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) indices) in a multivariate framework after the recent global financial crisis, that is, during the easy money policy regime adopted by the emerged nations. The study employs Johansen cointegration and VAR ( p) ADCC-MVGARCH (1,1) models ranging from August 2010 to August 2015. Apart from this, efficient tests of causality inspired from Hill (2007, Journal of Applied Econometrics, 22(4), 747–765) are also employed to account for dynamic interactions between the co-movement coefficients. The Johansen cointegration model does not support the existence of a stochastic trend among the variables. However, asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation-multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic model (ADCC-MVGARCH (1,1) model) results indicate time-varying co-movement among the underlying stock markets. The highest level of co-movement has been observed between the US and BRIC equity markets. On the other hand, co-movement between the US and frontier markets is found to be the lowest among others. On an average, 1-dollar long position in the US equity market should be shorted by 0.52 and 0.48 cents in the frontier and BRIC equity markets, respectively, across the sample time period. The efficient causality tests report indirect impact of co-movement between the US-frontier markets on the BRIC-frontier markets’ co-movement. The results critically support construction of a portfolio comprising stocks from the US, frontier and BRIC equity markets considering long-run and short-run co-movement among the variables.

Full text
Abstract:
The roles of protein kinase C (PKC) and Exo1 in exocytosis from digitonin-permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells were explored by using exogenous purified proteins in a run-down/reconstitution system. The stimulatory action of Exo1 on exocytosis from run-down cells was found to be completely dependent on the continuous presence of exogenous MgATP, suggesting that it acts on the slow phase of exocytosis [Holz, Bittner, Peppers, Senter & Eberhard (1989), J. Biol. Chem. 264, 5412-5419]. Partially purified rat brain PKC was found to be able to stimulate Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis from run-down cells in a dose-dependent manner. This effect was indeed due to PKC and not a contaminant in the PKC fraction, since the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), under conditions in which control secretion was not affected, potentiated the effect of the exogenous PKC in stimulating secretion. Furthermore, although either PKC or Exo1 alone could stimulate exocytosis from run-down cells, the effect of combining the fractions was synergistic, as had previously been observed using PMA treatment combined with Exo1 incubation [Morgan & Burgoyne (1992) Nature (London) 355, 833-836]. The observed synergy between PKC and Exo1 was not due to PKC-mediated phosphorylation of Exo1, and Exo1 was found not to affect PKC activity in enzyme assays. We conclude that PKC and Exo1 act synergistically in the slow phase of Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis from adrenal chromaffin cells. Furthermore, PKC does not directly affect Exo1, but rather enhances the activity of Exo1 by a putative phosphorylation of another, unidentified, component of the exocytotic machinery which facilitates the action of Exo1 in exocytosis.

The methodology for hydrodynamic characterization of a very large water tunnel is described. Results are presented for the U. S. Navy William B. Morgan Large Cavitation Channel in Memphis, Tennessee, the world’s largest water tunnel. Three key characteristics of tunnel velocity were measured: temporal stability̱, spatial uniformity̱, and turbulence̱. The velocity stability at a single point for run times greater than 2 h was measured as ±0.15% at the 95% confidence level for velocities from 0.5 to 18m∕s(1.6–59ft∕s). The spatial nonuniformity for the axial velocity component was ±0.34 to ±0.60% for velocities from 3 to 16m∕s(9.8–52ft∕s). The relative turbulence intensity was measured as 0.2–0.5% depending on tunnel velocity.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Morgan's Run is an Australian music drama with libretto by Colleen McCullough and music by myself, the writer of this thesis. The thesis discusses the collaborative process and the creation of this work from an authorial perspective and as such is a unique case study as detailed self-analyses of music drama creation are mostly limited to shorter length exegeses accompanying compositional portfolios. The thesis also, and through the lens of Morgan's Run and other music dramas, discusses the boundaries between the genres 'opera' and 'musical' both from the perspectives of 'work' and also 'performance'. It does this through a series of case studies analyzing important works in both the operatic and musical theatre genres. Finally, the thesis considers the future of 'opera' and 'musical', particularly as regards the abandoning of traditional performance venues and what this means for the future of the genres. Thus, the future of Morgan's Run as dramatic live performance event is contextualised within the current trend of live ‘opera’ and ‘musical’ performance.

The term “Fragile Five” was introduced by a research note of Morgan Stanley to refer to the countries of Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Turkey. The aim of this study is to examine whether there are stock and foreign exchange markets integration among Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Turkey. The authors employ cointegration-based tests, vector error correction modeling techniques, and Granger causality tests to examine the long-run and short-run linkages between stock prices and exchange rates. The results of cointegration tests suggest that there is one long-run stationary relationship between the stock indices and the foreign exchange rates. Four of the Fragile Five (excluding Brazil) show that the stock prices are positively associated with exchange rates. Finally, vector error correction estimates lead to miscellaneous results.

Abstract:
Augustus De Morgan was born on June 26, 1806, in Madura India, and two months later his family sailed with him to England. His father, John De Morgan, who was a rather restless and dissatisfied officer in the East India Company, returned to India within the year, which left his mother, Elizabeth nee Dodson, to raise Augustus and his three siblings. Augustus’s father spent a couple of years in England when he was five and six, but then returned to India, where he died when his oldest son was ten. Augustus’s mother was the fourth of sixteen children, and his many uncles who formed a net of support for the family. Augustus was blind in one eye and very short-sighted in the other. Nonetheless he had a lively imagination, read prodigiously, drew constantly, and played the flute beautifully. After a rather haphazard education in a variety of dame schools, his mother sent him to a school run by Mr. Parsons in Redlands. As well as making a number of friends for life, Augustus discovered his love of mathematics at Mr. Parsons’s school.

Abstract:
Plum Creek begins in drainage from farms on the west side of the city of Oberlin, Ohio, and flows eastward through a city golf course, a college arboretum, and the downtown area. East of the city, the stream receives the effluent from the city sewer facility before it joins with the Black River, which flows north through two rust-belt cities, Elyria and Lorain, before emptying into Lake Erie 25 miles west of Cleveland. Plum Creek shows all of the signs of 150 years of human use and abuse. As late as 1850 the stream ran clear even in times of flood, but now it is murky brown year-round. Because of pollution, sediments, and the lack of aquatic life, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers it to be a “nonattainment” stream. Yet it survives, more or less. To most residents of Oberlin, Plum Creek is little more than a drain and sewer useful for moving water off the land as rapidly as possible. Few regard it as an aesthetic asset or ecological resource. The character of Plum Creek changes quickly as it flows eastward into downtown Oberlin. Runoff from city streets enters the stream where the creek runs under the intersection of Morgan and Professor Streets. One block to the east, a larger volume of runoff polluted by oil and grease from city streets enters the creek as it flows under Main Street, past a Midas Muffler shop, a NAPA Auto Parts Store, and City Hall, located in the flood plain. Where Plum Creek flows under Main Street, an increased volume of storm water and consequently increased stream velocity have widened the banks and cut the channel from several feet to a depth of 10 feet or more. The city has attempted to stabilize the stream by lining the banks with concrete or by riprapping with large chunks of broken concrete. The aquatic life that exists upstream mostly disappears as Plum Creek flows through the downtown. Bending to the northeast, the creek passes through suburban backyards, past the municipal wastewater plant, a Browning Ferris Industries landfill, and on toward the west fork of the Black River and Lake Erie.

Abstract:
The U. S. Navy William B. Morgan Large Cavitation Channel (LCC) in Memphis, Tennessee, is the world’s largest water tunnel. Its hydrodynamic performance is outlined in this paper. Three key characteristics of tunnel velocity were measured: temporal stability, spatial uniformity, and turbulence. Temporal stability and spatial uniformity were measured by laser Doppler anemometer (LDA), while the turbulence was measured with a conical hot-film and constant temperature anemometer (CTA). The velocity stability at a single point for run times greater than 2 hours was measured as ±0.15% at the 95% confidence level for velocities from 0.5 to 18 m/s. The spatial non-uniformity for the axial velocity component was ±0.34 to ±0.60% for velocities from 3 to 16 m/s. The non-uniformity in the vertical velocity was nominally 2%. The turbulence or relative turbulence intensity, which is the commonly reported performance characteristic for water tunnels, was measured as 0.2 to 0.5% depending on tunnel velocity. Additional information includes calibration of the LDA and CTA, test section velocity as a function of pump speed, acceleration of the test section velocity, velocity spectra, and color contour plots of the axial and vertical components for velocity uniformity. The measurements demonstrate that the LCC is a high-quality world-class water tunnel.
