  • toward an explanation of Public Interest Group formation and proliferation seed money disturbances entrepreneurship and patronage
    Policy Studies Journal, 1996
    Co-Authors: Anthony J. Nownes, Grant W. Neeley
    Abstract:

    Utilizing data from a survey of 60 national Public Interest Group founders, this paper addresses two related questions: (a) What factors explain the (relatively) recent proliferation of Public Interest Groups? (b) What factors determine in which policy areas Public Interest Group activity is most likely? The results of the data analysis suggest that several factors have contributed to Group proliferation. Among the most important are law Group start-up costs, the spread of affluence and education, an increase in patron activity, and rapid societal change. The results also suggest that Public Interest Group activity is most likely in issue areas of Interest to well-educated, affluent whites. Ultimately, however, the data suggest there is bound to be a great deal of uncertainty in the Public Interest Group universe. Because Group start-up costs are so low and the entrepreneurial pod is so large and varied, virtually any type of Public Interest Group dealing with any issue could form at any time.

  • Public Interest Group Entrepreneurship and Theories of Group Mobilization
    Political Research Quarterly, 1996
    Co-Authors: Anthony J. Nownes, Grant W. Neeley
    Abstract:

    The bulk of the literature on Group mobilization focuses on why individu als join Groups and virtually ignores the Group leader (entrepreneur). Thus, we argue that there is a gap in the literature ...

  • Public Interest Groups and the Road to Survival
    Polity, 1995
    Co-Authors: Anthony J. Nownes, Allan J. Cigler
    Abstract:

    This article revisits questions raised by the late Jack Walker in his landmark study of Group organization and maintenance and applies them to Public Interest Groups. Data from 62 interviews with Public Interest Group leaders support the conclusion that there are distinct strategies for starting and maintaining such Groups. Patrons are crucial for initial mobilization, but the key to long-term Public Interest Group survival is the ability to maintain a large membership base that can be tapped for dues and large contributions.

  • Gaining access or going Public? Interest Group strategies in five European countries
    European Journal of Political Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: Andreas Dür, Gemma Mateo
    Abstract:

    Interest Groups differ in the choice of strategy that they use to influence Public policy. Some mainly try to gain access, that is, have direct contacts with decision-makers, whereas others tend to “go Public”, that is, launch campaigns that aim to mobilize the broader Public. We argue that Group type – namely the distinction between business and professional associations and citizen Groups – is a major determinant of the choice of strategy. The effect of Group type, however, is conditional on Group resources and the issue context: the differences across Group types are largest for resource-rich associations and associations active in distributive policy fields. Original data from surveys of national associations in five European countries (Austria, Germany, Ireland, Latvia and Spain) allow us to assess our argument. We find support for our theoretical expectations and argue that our results have relevance for the normative evaluation of political systems and the positive study of Interest Group influence.

  • The Injection and Chopper-Based System at Arronax C70XP Cyclotron
    2019
    Co-Authors: Freddy Poirier, Guillaume Blain, Francois Bulteau-harel, Massoud Fattahi, Xavier Goiziou, Ferid Haddad, Sophie Chiavassa, Gregory Delpon, Teddy Durand, Charbel Koumeir
    Abstract:

    The multi-particle cyclotron of the Arronax Public Interest Group (GIP) is used to perform irradiation up to hundreds of µA on various experiments and targets. To support low and high average intensity usage and adapt the beam time structure required for high peak intensity operation and experiments such as pulsed experiments studies, it has been devised a pulsing system in the injection of the cyclotron. This system combines the use of a chopper, low frequency switch, and a control system based on the new extended EPICS network. This paper details the pulsing system adopted at Arronax, updates and results for various intensity experimental studies performed with alpha and proton beams. Updated work on the simulation of the injection is also shown, specifically towards high intensity future irradiation.

  • The Pulsing Chopper-Based System of the Arronax C70XP Cyclotron
    2019
    Co-Authors: Freddy Poirier, Guillaume Blain, Francois Bulteau-harel, Massoud Fattahi, Xavier Goiziou, Ferid Haddad, Charbel Koumeir, Adrien Letaeron, Johan Vandenborre
    Abstract:

    The Arronax Public Interest Group (GIP) uses a multi-particle cyclotron to perform irradiation from a few pA up to hundreds of uA on various experiments and targets *. To support further low intensity usage and extend the beam time structure required for experiments such as pulsed experiments studies (radiolysis, proton therapeutic irradiation) and high intensity impact studies, it has been devised a pulsing system in the injection of the cyclotron. This system combines the use of a chopper, low frequency switch, and a control system based on the new extended EPICS network. This paper details the pulsing system adopted at Arronax, the last results in terms of time structure, various low intensity experimental studies performed with alpha and proton beams and the dedicated photon diagnostics.
