This article follows the scientific life of John Norris Bahcall, including his tenacious pursuit of the solar neutrino problem, his contributions to our understanding of galaxies, quasars, and their emissions, and his leadership of and advocacy for astronomy and astrophysics.

We investigate whether a simple cosmology can fit GRB results in both time dilation and Log N-Log P simultaneously. Simplifying assumptions include: all GRBs are spectrally identical to BATSE trigger 143, Ω = 1 universe, and no luminosity and number density evolution. Observational data used includes: the BATSE 3B peak brightness distribution (64-ms time scale), the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) ...

Singleton v. Norris is a decision by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals stating that forced psychotropic medication can be continued after the date of execution is set if the medication had been given previously to prevent the inmate from being dangerous in the prison setting under a Harper-type review. The defendant had argued that after the date of execution was set, it was no longer in his ...

This paper introduces the concept of the financial possibility frontier as a constrained optimum level of financial development to gauge the relative performance of financial systems across the globe. This frontier takes into account structural country characteristics, institutional, and macroeconomic factors that impact financial system deepening. We operationalize this framework using a bench...

Neorhaphiomidas Norris, with 7 species, is an endemic genus and the only Australian representative of the mydid subfamily Megascelinae. The genus was for many years considered to be restricted to Western Australia but the range of the genus was extended to the eastern part of South Australia with Paramonov's (1961) description of N. inermis. The new species described here, the first record of t...

Species of Pseudomonas accumulate gluconic and 2-ketogluconic acids when grown in a medium containing glucose (Norris and Campbell, 1949; Stubbs et al., 1940; Entner and Stanier, 1951). In addition, cell-free preparations of these organisms will convert glucose to 2-ketogluconic acid (Wood and Schwerdt, 1953; Claridge and Werkman, 1953). These reactions suggest a pathway for the dissimilation o...
