Dissertation: The Least Fixed Point Property For Ω-Chain Continuous Functions, Joe Mashburn

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The basic definitions are given in the first section, including those for ω-chain continuity, ω-chain completeness, and the least fixed point property for ω-chain continuous functions. Some of the relations between completeness and fixed point properties in partially ordered sets are stated and it is briefly shown how the question basic to the dissertation arises.

In the second section, two examples are given showing that a partially ordered set need not be ω-chain complete to have the least fixed point property for ω-chain continuous functions.

Retracts are discussed in section 3, where it is seen that they are not sufficient …

A Critical Study Of Nonlinear Echo Phenomena, Monish Ranjan Chatterjee

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The present thesis attempts to give a concise and critical account of the evolution of the echo phenomena over the last thirty years. Starting with spin and photon echoes, which were among the earliest to be observed and studied, the thesis explores the experimental findings and the models proposed in connection with the more contemporary echo experiments, viz. those involving electroacoustic or polarization echoes in single and polycrystalline piezoelectric materials and in powders. Although the investigations regarding the various mechanisms of short and long term echo formation are by no means complete, a coherent picture is beginning to emerge as …

Recovery Of Punitive Damages In Ohio Wrongful Death Actions: A Preferred Approach, James J. Ross

University of Dayton Law Review

Punitive damages in tort law, awarded to the plaintiff in addition to full compensation for injuries, are said to punish the defendant, to restrain him from committing the same act again, and to deter others from following his example. Nevertheless, “[s]omething more than the mere commission of a tort is always required for punitive damages. There must be circumstances of aggravation or outrage … or such a conscious and deliberate disregard of the interests of others that [the defendant’s] conduct may be called willful or wanton.”

An anomalous area exists in the awarding of punitive damages. Under the general rule, …

Corporation Law: The Business Judgment Rule In Derivative Suits Against Directors, Donald G. Babbitt

University of Dayton Law Review

Galef v. Alexander, 615 F.2d 51 (2d Cir. 1980).

The shareholders derivative suit is the principal means available to minority shareholders to correct abuses committed by corporate management. Recent federal court decisions have limited the availability of this action through application of the “business judgment” rule. This rule provides corporate management with a shield to protect their actions concerning the business affairs of the corporation from judicial scrutiny. Applied to a derivative action, the rule operates as a bar to the shareholder’s suit, provided the directors seeking its application do not “stand in a dual relation that prevents an unprejudiced …

Osha Regulation Of Benzene: The Missing Ingredient Of Cost-Benefit Analysis, Marybeth W. Rutledge

University of Dayton Law Review

The 1980 Supreme Court ruling on the regulation of benzene in the workplace sidestepped the troubling question of the role cost-benefit analysis should play in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation of toxic substances. Cost-benefit analysis consists of an agency estimate of expected health benefits from a proposed standard, an estimate of what it will cost the affected industry to comply with the standard, and a determination of whether the expected benefits bear a reasonable relationship to the estimated costs. In evading the issue of whether or not the OSH Act requires the agency to undertake a cost-benefit analysis …

The Affirmative Duty To Disclose Under Rule 10b-5, Thomas J. Troetti

University of Dayton Law Review

The linchpin of federal securities law is full disclosure of information in order that investors have the opportunity to make informed investment decisions. An administrative device created to implement this theme is rule l0b-5, promulgated pursuant to section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because section 10(b) is a catchall provision designed to prevent fraudulent activities, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the judicial branch have had to delineate the parameters of l0b-5.

Perusal of the generic language of l0b-5 reveals that false statements and misleading half-truths, made in the purchase or sale of any security, are …

Patronage Politics: Democracy's Antidote To Enforced Neutrality In Civil Service, Mary Ann Thinnes

University of Dayton Law Review

Branti v. Finkel, 445 U.S. 507 (1980).

“When … all who [hold] office hold by tenure of partisan zeal and party service … the certain, direct and inevitable tendency … is to convert the entire body of those in office into corrupt and supple instruments of power and to raise up a host of hungry, greedy and subservient partisans, ready for every service, however base or corrupt.”

Despite this early warning issued by a special Senate Committee inquiring into executive patronage under Andrew Jackson, patronage remains a long-accepted tradition in American political life. Patronage is alternately credited with “democratizing American …

Evidentiary Privilege: The Development Of Federal Common Law Press Privilege, Victor T. Whisman

University of Dayton Law Review

Riley v. City of Chester, 612 F.2d 708 (3d Cir. 1979).

“A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”

The inability of the British press to publish information unfavorable to the Crown without the incessant threat of being charged with sedition compelled the founding fathers to constitutionally guarantee the American press’ right to gather and disseminate news under the …

S.B. 297: Procedural Changes In Civil Commitment For Those Found To Be Not Guilty By Reason Of Insanity In Ohio, Frank Nagatani, Ned J. Nakles

University of Dayton Law Review

In April 1980, the Ohio General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 297. The bill was promulgated to provide specific changes in the procedures for the civil commitment and release hearings of persons found not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI). This legislation was enacted as an emergency measure in response to increasing public unrest over the release of NGRI patients. Much of the concern was seemingly precipitated by recent, well publicized trials in which the defendants pled not guilty by reason of insanity following charges of murder. The new bill was designed to correct procedural flaws in the present insanity law …

Amendment To Ohio's Environmental Protection Verified Complaint Law, Daniel Anthony Bernardin

University of Dayton Law Review

In May of 1980, the 113th Ohio General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 284 to amend section 3745.08 of the Ohio Revised Code. The purpose of the enactment is stated to be clarification of procedures utilized for filing and resolving complaints of alleged violations of specific pollution control laws. The bill was enacted in response to the recommendation of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) that changes and clarification of procedures regarding verified complaints were necessary.

Of particular concern to the OEPA was the exercise of hearing rights as a dilatory tactic by persons charged in a complaint. The OEPA asserts …

Democracy And Distrust (By John Hart Ely), Gilbert S. Merritt

University of Dayton Law Review

Democracy and Distrust, an often funny book on a serious subject by a careful, witty and inventive scholar, seeks a single unifying answer to the hard questions faced by federal courts from the beginning when they review the constitutionality of legislative and executive actions: What is the justification for judicial review by life-tenured magistrates in a system of government where the people elect their representatives and executives? When state or federal action penalizes particular groups-aliens, racial groups, pregnant women, homosexuals, the poor-what sources of enlightenment should we look to for guidance as we interpret the “open ended” provisions of the …
