The DDD, DDE and DDT molecules adsorption are aggressively favorable with adsorption energy (Eads) equal to -67.266, -58.776 and -52.245 eV respectively. In this study, the electronic properties analysis reveals that the physisorbed DDD, DDE and DDT are changing the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy gap and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap of carbon nanotubes which have been reduced after interaction with these molecules from 0.519 eV to 0.356, 0.289 and 0.296 eV respectively. These three insecticide molecules make changes outside of the carbon nanotube to the set of energy molecule and thus nanotubes are obtained as conductive structure.

Harmon, David McCord","doi":"10.21428/b6e95092.c60df452","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21428/b6e95092.c60df452","url":null,"abstract":"The annual number of new death sentences in the United States has fallen by more than 75% in the last two decades. The current study examines 1,665 death-eligible cases from 1994, 2004, and 2014 to draw empirically based conclusions that can shed light on some significant predictors associated with this dramatic decline. The results of logistic regression models suggest that the following were consistently significant predictors of case outcomes throughout the country over time: multiple perpetrators, age of perpetrators between 18 and 20 years, number of mitigators, cases with high and low aggravation, and five formerly high-volume counties. By contrast, factors that were important predictors of case outcomes in 1994 but that became insignificant in later years were robbery-murder and limited-revenue counties; the murder rate was not significant in 1994 but became significant in later years. Allegations of intellectual disability and county population size were not significant predictors in any of the years. _______________________________________________________________________________ The number of new death sentences in the United States fell from 310 in 1994 to 73 in 2014. The media have noticed this sharp decline of more than 75% (Khadaroo, 2014; Wolf & Johnson, A Statistical Analysis of Predictors Associated with the Dramatic Decline in Death Sentences in the United States in the Last Two Decades Journal of Criminal Justice and Law: Official Journal of the Law and Public Policy Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Volume 3, Issue 1, pp. 1-21 (2019) 2 Talia Roitberg Harmon and David McCord 2015). In this article, we examine a host of death-eligible cases to draw empirically based conclusions that illuminate some of the significant predictors of case outcome over time. We chose 10 possible predictors for hypothesis testing: level of case aggravation, robbery as an aggravator, size of county population, county financial resources, changes in five populous counties, multiple perpetrators, number of kinds of mitigation evidence presented, claims of intellectual disability, perpetrator age between 18 and 20 years, and murder rate. We tested these predictors for 3 years: 1994, 2004, and 2014. We selected these years for two reasons. First, when we began the project, 2014 was the most recent year for which data were available. Second, this choice allowed us to backtrack two decades to 1994, which was one of the peak years for death sentence imposition in the post-Furman, contemporary death penalty era. The year 2004 then became a midpoint year to examine what was happening between 1994 and 2014. We employed a comparison methodology for death-eligible cases, which was necessary “to ensure that what is being observed is not merely a correlate” (Gould, Carrano, Leo, & Hail-Jares, 2014, p. 479). Specifically, we split the cases into two groups: those in which the defendants were sentenced to death, and those in which defendants were spa","PeriodicalId":23539,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1, Issue 3","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90315434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was discovered that the topics discussed by state chief justices did not vary over time; that agenda items differed slightly between Republican and Democratic justices; that there were limited differences between the issues discussed by judges in border and non-border states; that agenda items did not differ significantly according to region; that issues mentioned by U.S. Supreme Court justices and state justices differed; and that the method of seating justices did not influence agenda items.","PeriodicalId":23539,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1, Issue 3","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75231056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"ARTICLE: Livable Term Sentences as Alternatives to Juvenile Life Without Parole: A Sentencing Framework Based on United States v. Grant","authors":"Brittany Ripper, R. Johnson","doi":"10.21428/b6e95092.8c8ec43d","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21428/b6e95092.8c8ec43d","url":null,"abstract":"In Miller v. Alabama (2012), the United States Supreme Court held that mandatory sentences of life without parole for juveniles are unconstitutional. In Montgomery v. Louisiana (2016), the Supreme Court made this holding retroactive, leaving the states to fashion new sentencing schemes for juveniles previously sentenced to life without parole. Complicating this task is the debate around “de facto,” or virtual, life sentences, which are term-of-years sentences that extend beyond an individual’s life expectancy. This essay proposes a framework to be used for sentencing juvenile lifers in light of the Supreme Court’s opinions and the Third Circuit Court of Appeal’s decision in United States v. Grant (2018). The framework considers an individual’s life expectancy and health, the national retirement age, and the time needed to reconnect with society. The output is a liveable term-of-years sentence that allows persons sentenced to life without parole as juveniles the prospect of release and the achievement of a meaningful life in the free world. “Incorrigibility is inconsistent with youth.” — Graham v. Florida (2010). _______________________________________________________________________________ It is difficult for most of us, who have never been sentenced to prison, to truly appreciate the reality of a life sentence. “Statistics” about abstractions like a life term “don’t bleed; it is the detail which counts” (Koestler, 1945, p. 91). Without prison experience, most of us in society lack the Livable Term Sentences as Alternatives to Juvenile Life Without Parole: A Sentencing Framework Based on United States v. Grant Journal of Criminal Justice and Law: Official Journal of the Law and Public Policy Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Volume 3, Issue 1, pp. 59-75 (2019) 60 Talia Roitberg Harmon and David McCord essential details needed to comprehend a life sentence. To most, a life sentence is just another term of punishment proclaimed by a judge or a punishment authorized by lawmakers, but for children subjected to this penalty, a life term means they will spend their entire lives in prison, a remote and alien world, until they die. Life in prison means 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, in one cage or another, among outcasts who sit ostracized from a society that is unwilling to give them a chance to show they have changed. In considerable measure a consequence of the fear of juvenile “super-predators,” the transfer of juvenile defendants to adult courts increased in the 1990s (Adams & Addie, 2009; Mauer & Nellis, 2018). One salient example of the harsh sentences meted out to juveniles in adult courts is the life-without-parole sanction. Many juveniles were sentenced to this sanction on a mandatory basis. Between 1979 and 1996 alone, the number of juveniles serving sentences of life without the possibility of parole increased from 9 to 160 (Mauer & Nellis, 2018). But, in the 2012 case of Miller v.

The control of odour represents a key issue in plant management. The starting point for an effective odour control is their objective measurement. The electronic nose represents probably the odour monitoring technique with the greatest potential, but currently there is not a universally recognized procedure for their application in the continuous characterization of environmental odours. The paper aims to present a novel procedure for training electronic noses in order to maximize their capability of operating a qualitative classification and estimating the odour concentration of ambient air. This novel approach reduces the uncertainty and increases the reliability of the continuous odour measures. The Electronic Nose (E.Nose) seedOA realized by the Sanitary Environmental Engineering Division (SEED) of the University of Salerno was applied to a real case in a large wastewater treatment plant.
