Magnetic moments of the ground-state JP=(3/2)+\mathbf{J^P=(3/2)}^{+} baryon decuplet

The magnetic moment - a function of the electric charge form factor $F_{1}(q^{2})$ and the magnetic dipole form factor $F_{2}(q^{2})$ at zero four-momentum transfer $q^{2}$-of the ground-state $J^{P}=(3/2)^{+}$ baryon decuplet magnetic moments have been studied for many years with limited success. At present, only the magnetic moment of the $\Omega^{-}$ has been accurately determined. We calculate nonperturbatively the magnetic moments of the \emph{physical baryon decuplet $J^{P}=(3/2)^{+}$} members and in particular, we obtain $\mu_{\Delta^{++}}= (+3.67 \pm 0.07) \mu_{N}$, $\mu_{\Delta^{+}}= (+1.83 \pm 0.04) \mu_{N}$, $\mu_{\Delta^{0}}= (0) \mu_{N}$, and the magnetic moments of their $U$-Spin partners in terms of $\Omega^{-}$ magnetic moment data.Comment: 9 pages including 1 figure and 1 table.

Dealing With Good Management

[Excerpt] Andy Banks\u27 and Jack Metzgar\u27s analysis of current cooperation programs is right on the mark. Their insistence on an organizing conception of unionism, union structures independent of management, and the use of worker knowledge as a critical union resource we can only echo. Under certain circumstances their proposals would help strengthen a union and avoid many of the traps that desperate unions in troubled companies often fall into. But we also suggest that applied in the wrong situations, their proposals put unions on the slippery slope to cooperationism

Why States Create International Tribunals: A Response to Professors Posner and Yoo

A recent article in the California Law Review by Professors Eric Posner and John Yoo, Judicial Independence in International Tribunals, argues that the only effective international tribunals are dependent tribunals, by which the authors mean ad hoc tribunals staffed by judges closely controlled by governments through the power of reappointment or threats of retaliation. Independent tribunals, by contrast, meaning tribunals staffed by judges appointed on similar terms as those in domestic courts, pose a danger to international cooperation. According to Posner and Yoo, independent tribunals are suspect because they are more likely to allow moral ideals, ideological imperatives or the interests of other states to influence their judgments. In this response, we identify the many shortcomings in the theory, methodology, and empirics in Judicial Independence in International Tribunals. We do so to challenge the authors\u27 core conjecture: that formally dependent international tribunals are correlated with effective judicial outcomes. We then offer our own counter-theory; a theory of constrained independence in which states establish independent international tribunals to enhance the credibility of their commitments and then use more fine grained structural, political, and discursive mechanisms to limit the potential for judicial excesses
