Procedimientos De Selección De Fuentes En Las Adquisiciones Federales De Estados Unidos: Una Introducción A Las Compensaciones De Mejor Valor En El Procedimiento De Negociación Competitiva, Daniel E. Schoeni

Books and Book Chapters by University of Dayton Faculty

Este libro es producto del III Congreso Internacional de Contratación Estatal, celebrado en Barranquilla en marzo de 2025, y tiene como propósito analizar uno de los aspectos centrales -y a la vez menos sistematizados e integrados- del derecho de la contratación estatal: las actuaciones y los procedimientos que estructuran el ciclo completo del contrato estatal. El texto tiene una premisa clara: la contratación estatal es una institución compleja, dinámica y funcional, cuya comprensión exige atender y entender una multiplicidad de actuaciones y procedimientos que la atraviesan, desde la celebración y el perfeccionamiento del contrato, la ejecución de obras en ausencia …

The Underappreciated Role Of Rifampin In Shaping The Epidemiology Of Rt027-Like Clostridioides Difficile Lineages, Isabella A. Tickler, Richard V. Goering, Fred Tenover

Biology Faculty Publications

The global emergence and dissemination of epidemic Clostridioides difficile ribotype 027 (RT027) and related lineages illustrate the role of antimicrobial pressure in shaping the epidemiology of this pathogen. We propose a hierarchical model in which fluoroquinolones (FQs) served as the dominant selective force underlying the worldwide expansion of RT027-related strains, with rifampin and rifamycins acting as secondary modifiers that promoted persistence and regional dominance. ©

Executive Compensation In A New Era: Pouring Old Wine Into New Bottles?, Florence Shu-Blankson

University of Dayton Law Review

The Author’s interest in executive compensation was sparked by the Delaware Court of Chancery’s decision to rescind the largest executive compensation package in U.S. history, awarded to Elon Musk by Tesla.1 Executive compensation has long been a contentious issue, and despite ongoing debates, efforts to regulate it effectively remain elusive. The process by which executive compensation committees and boards of directors determine these awards—along with their independence, the influence of controlling or dominant stockholders, and the transparency of decision-making— raises important questions about whether meaningful change is occurring or if the system remains fundamentally the same, merely repackaged as “old …

Passing The Bar In And Through Community: The Science Behind Why We Truly Do Better Together, Katherine O. Armstrong

University of Dayton Law Review

Law school graduates preparing for the bar exam often face isolation, leading to mental health challenges, decreased motivation, and impaired performance. This sense of loneliness, coupled with the known mental health and substance abuse issues in the legal profession, underscores the urgent need for change. Research shows that community engagement enhances mental and physical well-being, fosters motivation, and improves educational outcomes. However, little scholarship addresses the role of community in bar exam preparation, leaving a critical gap. This Article explores the transformative power of community during bar preparation. It provides a detailed view of a law school that has successfully …
