Yale Kamisar has explained how events that occurred about fifty years ago led to the creation of a stand-alone criminal procedure course and, a few years later, led to the division of that stand-alone course into two courses. The second of those courses came to be called, almost from the outset, the “Jail-to-Bail” course. My focus today is on why that course was created and how it was shaped. M...

The random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm, along with its many cousins such as MSAC and MLESAC, has become a standard choice for robust estimation in many computer vision problems. Recently, a raft of modifications to the basic RANSAC algorithm have been proposed aimed at improving its efficiency. Many of these optimizations work by reducing the number of hypotheses that need to be evaluat...

Inflammatory and juxtarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (j-iAAA) represents a technical challenge for open repair (OR) due to the peculiar anatomy, extensive perianeurysmal fibrosis, and dense adhesion to the surrounding tissues. A 68-year-old man with an 11 cm asymptomatic j-iAAA was successfully treated with elective EVAR and chimney-graft (ch-EVAR) without postprocedural complications. Target ...

First-principles calculations were performed to compare the energies of 29 different fullerene structures, with mass number from 60 to 240, and of eight nonhelical graphite tubes of different radii. A quantity called the planarity, which indicates the completeness of the pi-bonding, is the single most important parameter determining the energetics of these structures. Empirical equations were c...
