Pornography And The Law, Steve Lenker

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

Pornography is big business. According to Charles Clark in "The Obscenity Debate," the pornography industry is a $10 billion a year business (974). Just as with any controversial issue, pornography has both its opponents and its proponents.

A Preliminary Survey Of Data Bases And Other Automated Services For Chinese Studies, Yeen-Mei Wu

Journal of East Asian Libraries

This paper focuses on the data bases and other automated services available for Chinese studies, for electronic publications are fast becoming important resources for Chinese studies as a whole. Since most of the automated resources on Chinese studies usually cover a variety of subject matters, I will view the data bases which have broad implications for most of the researchers in the field.

A General Three Dimensional All Quadrilateral Surface Mesh Generation Algorithm, Roger Cass

Theses and Dissertations

Among the available all-quadrilateral mesh generation algorithms progressive-front offers the best quality and robustness. The paving algorithm is a progressive-front technique that generates a two dimensional mesh of all quadrilaterals on planar surfaces. The technique is particularly suited to meshing irregular boundaries with interior holes. This thesis presents an extension of the paving algorithm to generalized three dimensional surfaces. The major problems in three-dimensional surface mesh generation are projection of nodes, calculation of interior angles, and connection of mesh fronts. The solutions to these problems are presented. This work is part of the ongoing CUBIT project at Sandia Labs. The …

Maxwell Institute Publications

This book reveals the tactics many anti-Mormons employ in attacking the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In clear, straightforward terms, the authors explain the true beliefs of the church and how to see through the word games that critics use to attack it.

The Geographical Landscape Of Tabernacles In The Mormon Culture Region, Crystal Wride Jenson

Theses and Dissertations

Although tabernacles do not hold the sacred meaning of Mormon temples, they are symbolic landmarks of the culture of the early Mormon Saints. Tabernacles were once an integral part of each community in which they were located. They were often the main buildings in the community, reflecting the coherent, orderly nature of a Mormon town. Today, many of the original tabernacles have been torn down and others are under the threat of destruction.

The first tabernacles built in the Mormon Culture Region were constructed in the 1850s. They were large meetinghouses built for the purpose of holding large general meetings. …

The Violation Of Clarence Thomas' Rights, Trey Dayes

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

We often assume that law and order will always prevail, that our rights will always be protected. However, this is not necessarily true. Many times the rights granted in the Bill of Rights are neglected. This was the case with Clarence Thomas. The legal process which he endured was not a trial, but a hearing. He was submitted to a gross injustice by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Due to the fact that this was not an actual trial Thomas was not charged with a criminal offence. He was merely under investigation. However, because this was only an investigation, he was …

Era And The Bill Of Rights, Teresa Haddock

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) proposed by Congress on 22 March 1972 would have become valid if ratified by three-fourths of the states within a seven year period from the date of submission. Thirty-five of the required thirty-eight states ratified the amendment. Before the time expired, Idaho, Nebraska, Tennessee, Kentucky, and South Dakota had all attempted to rescind their ratifications, but were denied the option to change their vote. Also, in October of 1978, Congress decided to extend the seven-year period until 30 June 1982. Four members of the Idaho legislature brought suit in Idaho vs. Freeman. The plaintiffs argument …

Saturday's Women: Female Characters As Angels And Monsters In Saturday's Warrior And Reunion, Nola Diane Smith

Theses and Dissertations

Using theories of feminist criticism as explained by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, the study concludes that both Saturday's Warrior, a "home literature" style play, and Reunion, a more artistically challenging play, reflect repressive cultural images of women. Both plays cast female characters into the roles of passive Angel, domestic Angel/Monster, and active Monster.

"With Holy Importunitie, With A Pious Impudencie": John Donne's Attempts To Provoke Election, Raymond-Jean Frontain

Quidditas

Donne's use of the imperative when addressing God in the Divine Poems is a maneuver designed to resolve a particularly Protestant dilemma, the same dilemma confronted by the speaker of Elegy 19 under another guise. As C. L. barber and Richard P. Wheeler have pointed out, the reformers' dismantling of "much of the Catholic apparatus of worship in order to isolate the individual worshiper in direct rapport with God through faith...put worshippers at risk in new ways. In areas where the Reformation triumphed, extraordinary anxiety could be generated by the absolute importance conferred upon the individual's faith in the grace …

The Artist As Entrepreneur: Long-Term Professional Bonds In Quattrocento Florence, Yael Even

Quidditas

A number of comparatively recent publications on collaboration in Quattrocento art attest to the renewed interest in reassessing the nature of professional exchange among artist. These studies continue to shed more light on the prevalence and extent of collaborative artistic undertakings in Florence during this period. Originating in archival research, the studies reject the romanticized, traditional view of Early Renaissance painters, sculptors, and architects as solitary geniuses, suggesting instead that these creative talents operated as entrepreneurs who collaborated to establish profitable careers.

Morphological Variability And Cell Wall Composition Of Phaeodactylum Tricornutum (Bacillariophyceae), Jeffrey R. Johansen

Great Basin Naturalist

Five isolates of Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin were examined in light and transmission electron microscopes. Although isolated from widely separated sites including both coastal marine and inland saline habitats, the morphology of the siliceous frustules of all isolates was very constant. The fusiform and triradiate forms, which have been reported as being non-siliceous in the past, were found to have an amorphous particulate nature in TEM. These forms were examined using EDAX SEM elemental analysis and were found to contain silica in their cell walls.
