The purpose of this book is twofold: providing an ethnographic description of the Hispanic hybrid (HH) identity found in Miami-Dade County and deriving missiological implications from the ethnographic data. Christian workers and students of ethnic study and ethnic identity will find this book informative and inspiring, due to the data collected by field-based research and the rich ethnographic description. Others will enjoy the discussion of ethnic identity and the description of Hispanic hybridity in this book.

This problem-oriented coursebook is designed to introduce law students to a representative range of hypothetical problems involving NAFTA. After providing some background material, the authors present two separate chapters on trade in goods & trade in services. Subsequent chapters cover issues of investment law, intellectual property law, dispute resolution, & "side agreements." Finally, the authors look beyond NAFTA to the future of the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas, problems with Chile's "fast track" accession to NAFTA, & the lingering question of Quebec's status under NAFTA should it secede from Canada.

This paper presents a theoretical model to investigate the effect of heterogeneous ideological preferences over the public provision of goods on both the scope of government spending and the electoral competition among political parties. The proposed model points out that the presence of both ideological politicians who compete for office and electoral uncertainty generate a partisanship effect on economic policy. In particular, pro-market (right-wing) politicians commit to lower public provision of goods and income taxation schedules that implement larger income inequality than pro-government (left-wing) politicians. The model also predicts that the public funding of goods through income taxation confers an electoral advantage to pro-market ideological positions. In fact, pro-market politicians can court moderate pro-leftist voters by promises of higher net income that pro-government politicians are not willing to fund. As a result, a right-wing party exhibits larger chances of winning elections, and its policy proposal determines lower ideological sacrifice than for the left-wing party.

This week marks the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's tragic landfall near New Orleans, Louisiana, and the forced relocation of hundreds of thousands of families who lost their homes in the disaster. This mass population displacement boosted, for an extended period, population density and store frequentation in areas that were relatively spared by the storm. This note argues that supermarkets that weathered the hurricane raised prices little despite facing markedly higher store traffic and likely disruptions to their supply chains.

MERCOSUR, which includes the nations of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, is South America's dominant trading bloc and the chief rival to NAFTA in the Western Hemisphere. This article opens by describing MERCOSUR's dispute settlement processes and institutions and contrasting those structures to NAFTA's dispute resolution systems. Professor Lopez then identifies and analyzes, for the first time, all trade-related disputes that arose between the MERCOSUR parties from 1991 to 1996. He draws from this experience several key distinctions between the way South Americans approach trade dispute resolution and the way North Americans have approached the resolution of such conflicts under NAFTA. Based on these findings, Professor Lopez concludes that the government officials negotiating a Free Trade Area of the Americas ought to construct a phased-in dispute resolution system that initially relies nearly exclusively on high-level consultations and then, after time, makes available the use of multinational institutions and formal adversarial proceedings for the resolution of trade disputes.

Les modèles actuels de changements climatiques prédisent une réduction globale des précipitations, limitant ainsi la disponibilité en eau des plantes et induisant une augmentation de la fréquence des stress hydriques. Un stress hydrique modéré peut conduire à la fermeture des stomates ce qui diminue l'activité photosynthétique des plantes, et dans les cas les plus extrêmes, induit l'embolie du xylème causée par la rupture de la colonne d'eau. Afin de limiter ces effets délétères, les plantes ajustent en permanence leurs résistances hydrauliques. Les feuilles sont considérées comme la principale résistance aux flux d'eau. La compréhension des mécanismes de régulation de la résistance hydraulique foliaire est donc un enjeu fondamental. Parmi les facteurs influençant potentiellement la résistance hydraulique foliaire, les aquaporines (AQPs) pourraient jouer un rôle prépondérant. Les membres de la famille des PIP (Plasma membrane Intrinsic Protein) sont des AQPs agissant comme des pores permettant un passage sélectif de l'eau au travers du plasmalemme. Ce travail visait à caractériser la conductance hydraulique foliaire (Kleaf l'inverse de la résistance) et à étudier la contribution potentielle des PIP dans cinq espèces tempérées ainsi que chez l'arbre modèle: le peuplier. Les espèces pionnières ont des valeurs de Kleaf élevées, mais l'augmentation de Kleaf en réponse à la lumière est beaucoup plus faible que chez les espèces non-pionnières. Chez le Noyer (Juglans regia), la lumière bleue est responsable de la plupart de l'augmentation de Kleaf et de la modulation transcriptionnelle des PIP. En situation de disponibilité en eau et de lumière non limitante, la Kleaf du peuplier augmente au cours de la journée pour atteindre son maximum à midi. Cette augmentation de Kleaf se produit simultanément avec la transcription et l'accumulation de protéines PIP en réponse à l'éclairement. Cependant, l'expression des gènes PIP est en partie sous influence d'une régulation endogène circadienne. L'influence des AQPs dans la valeur élevée de Kleaf est démontrée par son inhibition en présence d'HgCl2.
