Some problems in the theory of the solid state by Halpern, V

“…The results confirm that for bands which arc not degenerate it is a reasonable approximation to set the overlap integral for electrons in the same band equal to one provided that the <em>k</em>-vectors of the electrons do not differ by too much; however, where (as in graphite) the band is degenerate, this is not a valid approximation if <em>k</em> is anywhere near the point of degeneracy. An account of this work has been published in the Journal of the Physics and Chemistry of Solids.…”

Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment Concerns with the BoP Guidelines for Advance Directives by Benjamin N. Parks

“…In regards to the objective component, the violence of CPR described above is a source of “pain and suffering which no one suggests would serve any penological purpose.”[22] Furthermore, if “the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society” are taken into account, undesired CPR is cruel and unusual. For the standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing medical society are such that not every patient should receive CPR, especially those who have a properly obtained DNR. …”
