In reply to the critiques of Professor Hillinger and Lapham on Amartya Sen's original article.

This paper is concerned with tax policies designed to obtain an improved competitive allocation in the presence of consumption externalities. It is known that the full optimum can, in general, be attained only through the ...

The photoconductivity spectra of high purity, semiconducting CdF2, containing low concentrations of rare-earth donors, are interpreted in terms of a shallow trap \(1260 \pm 100cm^{-1} \) below the bottom of the conduction ...

The alignment of dilauryl-, dimyristoyl-, and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine at various water concentrations into large oriented monodomain multilayers by annealing at elevated temperatures (Powers and Clark, 1975, Proc. ...

A brief description of the essential features of amphiphillic molecules will be presented. This will be followed by a discussion of specific physical phenomena and their relation to a number of contemporary research areas. ...

Polygonal defect arrays in lipid liquid crystals prepared from dipalmitoyl-, dimyristoyl-, and dilaurylphosphatidylcholine with various concentrations of water have been observed and characterized using optical microscopy. ...

Brillouin-scattering results are reported for monodomain samples of \(\beta\)-methyl butyl p [(p-methoxy benzylidine)amino] cinnamate in both the smectic-A and -B phases. For both phases theoretical predictions are confirmed ...

The six fundamental bands of \(CH_3I\) and \(CD_3I\), both as pure liquids and in solution with \(CS_2\), have been studied in order to obtain information about the molecular rotational and vibrational dynamics. Emphasis ...

Distortions of the plane texture of smectic-A and cholesteric liquid crystals are shown to combine with the uniaxial birefringence of the plane texture to produce a strong characteristic light-scattering effect. We have ...
