Revitalizing Biotechnological Advancement In The United States: Patent Eligibility Reform To Promote Innovation While Preserving Morality, Sydney Virtue
West Virginia Law Review
Patent protection has long been recognized as a key part of promoting innovation; however, current patent eligibility law in the United States often produces the exact opposite result. While the basic framework for patent eligibility is provided by the Patent Act, the United States Supreme Court has crafted several significant exceptions to patent eligibility—laws of nature, natural phenomena, and abstract ideas. These judicial exceptions have created a crisis in patent law and impeded biotechnological innovation, as they are too vague to be properly confined and carry tests that are too ambiguous for predictable application. To promote and retain world leadership …
Ownership And Development Of Rare Earth Elements And Critical Minerals In Mine Drainage In West Virginia, Robert E. Akers
Ownership And Development Of Rare Earth Elements And Critical Minerals In Mine Drainage In West Virginia, Robert E. Akers
West Virginia Law Review
This Article argues in support of recent legislation which clarifies legal title to potentially valuable substances derived from the treatment of mine drainage in West Virginia’s waters. West Virginia University has been researching the commercial viability of extracting rare earth elements and other critical minerals from coal mine drainage and coal mine waste. If successful, the research may foster a new industry and provide citizens and wildlife with cleaner water flowing in West Virginia’s rivers and streams. The West Virginia Legislature was concerned that ownership disputes and litigation might harm the development of this potential resource and enacted statutory provisions …
Service Dog Knowledge And Utilization In Occupational Therapy Practice, Lauren E. Garcia, Sierra P. Mcnicol
Service Dog Knowledge And Utilization In Occupational Therapy Practice, Lauren E. Garcia, Sierra P. Mcnicol
Graduate Student Scholarship
The assumed efficacy behind service dog intervention is based on the well-known potential for the development of a strong, emotional bond between humans and dogs. Occupational therapists can use knowledge of their specific scope of practice to aid in the referral process, and the assessment process, and to help assist clients with training and comfortability throughout the service dog placement process. Existing literature on service dog use and implementation within occupational therapy (OT) practice is limited and lacking in rigor, internal and external validity, and reliability. The aims of the current study include evaluating the level of education occupational therapy …
Legal And Policy Issues For A Growing Agritourism Industry, Peggy Kirk Hall, Jesse J. Richardson Jr., Kristine Tidgren
Legal And Policy Issues For A Growing Agritourism Industry, Peggy Kirk Hall, Jesse J. Richardson Jr., Kristine Tidgren
Law Faculty Scholarship
Agritourism activity has increased dramatically over the past 10 years, both in number of operations and income. The types of agritourism activity have also expanded rapidly in recent years. The law, on the other hand, moves slowly. The disconnect between the pace ofchange in the industry and the legal regime creates uncertainty for operators, regulators, and policy makers. The difficulty in defining the rapidly changing industry lies at the center of much of the uncertainty. This Article provides an overview of the agritourism industry and recent changes in agritourism activities. The authors discuss different definitions of agritourism in a variety …

“A Cruel System Indeed”: Extending The Statute Of Limitations For Claims By The Harmed Youth Of West Virginia’S Mismanaged Foster Care System, Caroline Toler
“A Cruel System Indeed”: Extending The Statute Of Limitations For Claims By The Harmed Youth Of West Virginia’S Mismanaged Foster Care System, Caroline Toler
West Virginia Law Review
The current statutes of limitations in West Virginia pose a barrier for harmed youth to bring suits to recover. A child who experiences sexual abuse will have 18 years to bring a civil suit. However, a child who experiences another form of abuse (e.g., psychological or emotional abuse) must bring a suit within two years. In a novel argument, this Note proposes that state legislatures, and the West Virginia State legislature in particular, should extend the statute of limitations for civil suits by former foster youth harmed while in state care. A two-year statute of limitations is an insurmountable barrier …
The Right To Sit In West Virginia, Leif Olson
The Right To Sit In West Virginia, Leif Olson
West Virginia Law Review
In 1901, West Virginia guaranteed that women working outside the home would have a place to sit down at their workplace. In 2023, despite that law, no worker in West Virginia is functionally required to be given a chair. This Note explores the use of seating laws to prevent the modern and historic workplace issue of prolonged standing, or when an employee is required to stand in one place for too long at one time. Prolonged standing in the workplace is an ergonomics problem, a medical concern, and a labor issue. The pain, discomfort, and long-term chronic disease caused by …
Expanding Drug Courts And Alternative Justice Courts In West Virginia: Implementing Innovative And Restorative Justice Practices, Emily Ogden
West Virginia Law Review
The United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. Alarmingly, West Virginia’s incarceration rate is even higher. West Virginia’s staggering incarceration rate can largely be attributed to the increased criminalization and prosecution of individuals experiencing addiction. This Note considers what actions can be taken to limit incarceration and recidivism in West Virginia. The solutions proposed by this Note also aim to limit the collateral consequences of incarceration in West Virginia because many of West Virginia’s current issues are only exacerbated by incarceration. This Note reviews alternative justice methods and notable alternative justice courts across the …

Someone Please Do Something: The Fight For Web Accessibility Rages On, James Mazzone
Someone Please Do Something: The Fight For Web Accessibility Rages On, James Mazzone
West Virginia Law Review
When the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) was enacted in 1990, no one could have envisioned the way technology would dominate society as it does today. Title III, Public Accommodations, of the ADA was enacted to allow disabled individuals the opportunity to fully enjoy equal access to goods and services offered to the public. Title III has traditionally been applied to physical, stand-alone locations such as hotels, shopping centers, and restaurants. However, almost every facet of an American’s life today involves a screen emitting a bright light. Additionally, businesses of all sizes are facing mountains of web accessibility litigation due …

Open Access Books
In this book, the authors update an earlier history of the Department of Physiology at West Virginia University that described its first 100 years. It covers the most recent half-century (1965-2022), a tumultuous time characterized by periods of faculty growth and development of the department’s research and educational programs interspersed with major challenges the department had to overcome. The latter included an autocratic chair who created a hostile work environment, an administrator who favored research centers over departments, and the dissolution of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, which led to the creation of the Physiology and Pharmacology Department. Almost …
Pfas And The Health Of West Virginians, Kensey Bergdorf-Smith
Pfas And The Health Of West Virginians, Kensey Bergdorf-Smith
Bridge Initiative for Science and Technology Policy, Leadership, and Communications
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been used to make coatings that resist heat, oil, stains, and water since the 1940s. PFAS take hundreds of years to break down in the environment and can build up in the bodies of animals and humans, leading to concerns about potential health impacts. This Science and Technology Note discusses the known health risks of PFAS exposure, recent PFAS regulations in West Virginia, and policy options to address potential PFAS exposure in West Virginians.
Mechanistic Insight Into Maternal Electronic Cigarette Exposure And Its Effect On Offspring Cerebrovascular And Neurocognitive Health, Amber Victoria Mills
Mechanistic Insight Into Maternal Electronic Cigarette Exposure And Its Effect On Offspring Cerebrovascular And Neurocognitive Health, Amber Victoria Mills
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Electronic cigarettes (Ecigs) have replaced smoking within the last decade as the preferred nicotine delivery system because of their advertising to the younger populations. Marketing has sold the idea that use of Ecigs are safer than smoking and this messaging has resonated with youth and other vulnerable populations such as pregnant women. Despite over 2.8 million children under 18 (Annual National Youth Tobacco Survey) deciding to vape, there is little information about what this will do to the next generation. Further, it is that same population that will soon reach an age when they will want to have children. There …

When The Right Man Rings Them?, Alan Wayne Cline
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This research aims to outline the suitability of Vaughan Williams’s songs to a broader selection of performers, including singers in academic settings and professional musicians around the globe. The significance of Ralph Vaughan Williams's impact on the music world is difficult to question. Among his considerable accomplishments are the editing of the Anglican English hymnal, the advocation for traditional British folk songs as national works of art, the composition of the same number of symphonies as Beethoven and Dvořák, and, most notably for singers, the writing of song cycles and collections of songs. While these accomplishments are significant, his songs …

Formulation, Sensory Evaluation, And Physicochemical Assessment Of And Consumer Behavior Toward Novel Energy Bars, Ian Phillip Israelsen
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The objectives of this study were to 1) formulate a novel energy bar containing significant macronutrients and calories per serving with favorable ratings from consumers; 2) analyze responses to a consumer preference survey and sensory evaluation of novel energy bars compared to a commercially available energy bar. For the first study, fourteen iterations of an energy bar were synthesized with differing protein sources (whey, soy, pea, hemp), and characteristic variations (nougat, chocolate truffle, peanut butter, double-date caramel). A shortbread base, date caramel, and chocolate coating were included in every bar. Sensory evaluations determined that the most liked variation overall was …

Regulation Of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Through Mitochondrial Import Of Long Non-Coding Rnas, Andrew Dodge Taylor
Regulation Of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Through Mitochondrial Import Of Long Non-Coding Rnas, Andrew Dodge Taylor
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Introduction: The leading cause of mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus is heart failure. When mitochondrial health and function is disrupted, cardiac contractile function is compromised. Therefore, understanding mitochondrial regulation may benefit predicting and countering diabetic cardiomyopathy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in diabetic cardiac mitochondrial protein expression. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to regulate miRNAs, but not in the mitochondrion. Additionally, it has yet to be confirmed if lncRNAs utilize the same mechanisms for mitochondrial import that miRNAs use, or if lncRNA presence in the mitochondrion fluctuates in diabetic mitochondria like miRNA presence does. The …

Cellular Level Changes Induced In Cancer Cells Due To Microgravity, Sai Deepika Reddy Yaram
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The increase in human activity in space has revealed several kinds of physiological challenges brought on by the absence of Earth's gravitational pull. NASA observed that during spaceflight, astronauts experience a 1-1.5% monthly loss in the mineral density of weight-bearing bones, with rehabilitation efforts on Earth often proving ineffective. This issue extends to muscles, the neuro vestibular system, the cardiovascular system, and vision. Cancer has emerged as a significant cause of mortality among astronauts, with studies up to 2017 showing that 41.3% of natural cause deaths among U.S. astronauts were due to cancer, primarily due to space radiation exposure. Cancer …
