CERCLA Section 113(h) & RCRA Citizen Suits: To Bar or Not to Bar

A solution to the problem of nuisance suits: The option to have the court bar settlement

A solution to a broad category of nuisance suits is examined in this paper. The solution is to give defendants the option to have courts prevent settlements (by refusing to enforce them). Then, if a defendant knows he is facing a plaintiff who would not be willing to go to trial, the defendant would exercise his option to bar settlement, forcing the plaintiff to withdraw. And because the plaint...

Sinusoid=light bar+dark bar?

A sinusoidal grating can be viewed as a series of light and dark bars. Here we measure the contrast discrimination thresholds for light and dark bars individually, and find that the contrast discrimination thresholds for the whole sinusoid can be explained as ideal summation of the light and dark bar thresholds. We propose a model for light bar, dark bar, and sinusoidal contrast discrimination ...

Bar recursion is not T+min definable

This note supplies the proof of a theorem stated in the forthcoming book by Longley and Normann: namely, that Spector’s bar recursion functional is not representable by a left-well-founded sequential procedure, and hence is not definable in the language T + min (that is, Gödel’s System T augmented with the minimization operator), for instance within the Kleene–Kreisel model of total continuous ...
