Defectiveness Restated: Exploding The "Strict" Products Liability Myth, David G. Owen Jan 1996

Defectiveness Restated: Exploding The "Strict" Products Liability Myth, David G. Owen

Faculty Publications

Strict liability in tort has occupied the core of modern products liability doctrine ever since Dean Prosser first penned the most often cited Restatement section in history-section 402A of the Second Restatement of Torts. In the Third Restatement, the ALl has completely restructured the definition of product defectiveness. The inscrutable phrase that has confounded courts and commentators for so many years- "defective condition unreasonably dangerous"- is now trifurcated according to the separate types of product defects: manufacturing defects, design defects, and warnings defects. In this important article, Professor Owen explores the conceptual developments that led to the restated liability formulations …

Determination Of Transport And Electrochemical Kinetic Parameters Of Bare And Copper-Coated Lani4.27Sn0.24 Electrodes In Alkaline Solution, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White Jan 1996

Determination Of Transport And Electrochemical Kinetic Parameters Of Bare And Copper-Coated Lani4.27Sn0.24 Electrodes In Alkaline Solution, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Electrochemical properties of bare and copper-coated LaNi4.27Sn0.24 electrodes were investigated in alkaline solution. The exchange current density, polarization resistance, and equilibrium potential were determined as functions of the state of charge in the electrodes. The symmetry factors for bare and copper-coated electrodes were estimated to be 0.53 and 0.52, respectively. By using a constant current discharge technique, the hydrogen diffusion coefficient in bare and coated LaNi4.27Sn0.24 was estimated to be 6.75 × 10–11 cm2/s.


Application Of Porous Electrode Theory On Metal Hydride Electrodes In Alkaline Solution, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White Jan 1996

Application Of Porous Electrode Theory On Metal Hydride Electrodes In Alkaline Solution, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Porous electrode theory was applied to estimate the exchange current density, the polarization resistance, and symmetry factor for LaNi4.27Sn0.24 hydride electrode in alkaline solution. The exchange current density, polarization resistance, and symmetry factor were determined from polarization curves which were obtained at low overpotentials.


A Model For The Galvanostatic Deposition Of Nickel Hydroxide, Mahesh Murthy, Gowri S. Nagarajan, John W. Weidner, John W. Van Zee Jan 1996

A Model For The Galvanostatic Deposition Of Nickel Hydroxide, Mahesh Murthy, Gowri S. Nagarajan, John W. Weidner, John W. Van Zee

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for the galvanostatic deposition of Ni(OH)2 films in stagnant Ni(NO3)2 solutions. The objective is to quantify the anomalous deposition behavior reported previously in which the utilization of the electrochemically generated OH– species decreased drastically as the concentration of Ni(NO3)2 increased beyond 0.1 M. For example as the Ni(NO3)2 concentration increased from 0.1 to 2.0 M, the deposition rate decreased by a factor of ten at 2.5 mA/cm2. At this high ratio of concentration to current density, a comparison with Faraday's …


Analysis Of Transient Hydrogen Uptake By Metal Alloy Particles, Wenlin Zhang, Supramaniam Srinivasan, Harry J. Ploehn Jan 1996

Analysis Of Transient Hydrogen Uptake By Metal Alloy Particles, Wenlin Zhang, Supramaniam Srinivasan, Harry J. Ploehn

Faculty Publications

This paper describes a new approach to solving the equations comprising the shrinking core model for diffusion and reaction of a chemical species in a solid spherical particle. The reactant adsorbs on the particle surface, diffuses into the particle's interior, and reacts with the particle to form a solid product. The shrinking core model assumes a fast reaction rate compared to reactant diffusion so that the reaction is localized in the interfacial zone between the unreacted solid core and the surrounding shell of reacted product. Analytical solutions of the governing conservation equations usually invoke the pseudo-steady state (PSS) approximation which …

On The Information Content Of Calls Of Convertible Securities, Anthony K. Byrd, William T. Moore Jan 1996

On The Information Content Of Calls Of Convertible Securities, Anthony K. Byrd, William T. Moore

Faculty Publications

Negative stock price reactions to conversion-forcing calls of convertible bonds and preferred stocks are reexamined, and most of the sample firms are shown to exhibit full price recovery by the end of the conversion period. In addition, analysts' earnings forecasts, both short-term and long-term, are found to be revised upward following call announcements for convertible bonds and preferred stocks. The combined findings cast doubt on the established belief that such capital structure decisions signal negative information about firm value.

An Empirical Test Of The Rational Actor Theory Of Litigation, Donald R. Songer, Charles M. Cameron, Jeffrey A. Segal Nov 1995

An Empirical Test Of The Rational Actor Theory Of Litigation, Donald R. Songer, Charles M. Cameron, Jeffrey A. Segal

Faculty Publications

This article examines the decisions of litigants in criminal cases to appeal decisions from the U.S. Courts of Appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court. Using a random sample of search and seizure cases from 1962 through 1990 and a measure of the likelihood that the appeals court decision will be reversed if cert is granted, we demonstrate that litigants behave as if they rationally consider costs and benefits in their decisions to appeal. Given the extraordinary number of cases decided by lower federal courts vis-g-vis the number of cases the Supreme Court can decide, we argue that such behavior is …
