We offer evidence that legalized abortion has contributed signiŽcantly to recent crime reductions. Crime began to fall roughly eighteen years after abortion legalization. The Žve states that allowed abortion in 1970 experienced declines earlier than the rest of the nation, which legalized in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. States with high abortion rates in the 1970s and 1980s experienced greater crime ...

A uniform Roe corona is the quotient of algebra a metric space by ideal compact operators. Among other results, we show that it consistent with ZFC isomorphism between coronas implies coarse equivalence underlying spaces, for class uniformly locally finite spaces which coarsely embed into Hilbert space. Moreover, property A, equivalent to bijective some their cofinite subsets. We also find such...

The approximation of transient detonation waves requires numerical methods that are able to resolve a wide range of different scales. Especially the accurate consideration of detailed chemical kinetics is extremely demanding. This thesis describes an efficient solution strategy for the Euler equations of gas dynamics for mixtures of thermally perfect species with detailed, non-equilibrium react...

Centered numerical fluxes can be constructed for compressible Euler equations which preserve kinetic energy in the semi-discrete finite volume scheme. The essential feature is that the momentum flux should be of the form f m j+ 1 2 = p̃j+ 1 2 +uj+ 1 2 f ρ j+ 2 where uj+ 2 = (uj+uj+1)/2 and p̃j+ 1 2 , f ρ j+ 1 2 are any consistent approximations to the pressure and the mass flux. This scheme thus ...

Salted Kutum roe was prepared by soaking in brine to a traditional procedure. Proximate composition (moisture, protein, lipid, pH, ash and salt content), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), fatty acid profiles and microbiological characteristics of raw and salted roe of Caspian white fish (Rutilus frisii kutum) were determined. The results indicated that protein and moisture contents were si...

The home range dynamics of eleven roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) females were studied from 1995 to 1999 in the Foreste Casentinesi National Park, northern Apennines, Tuscany, Italy. The study area is mountainous with almost complete forest cover (95%) and snow usually falls from late October to April. Data were collected with radio-tracking techniques: the annual and bimonthly home range, the o...
