Private Actions For Public Nuisance: The Standing Problem, Mark A. Rothstein Jun 1974

Private Actions For Public Nuisance: The Standing Problem, Mark A. Rothstein

West Virginia Law Review

From its original function of providing a remedy for the invasion of land rights, the law of nuisance has expanded to encompass a multitude of interferences with the health, safety, and welfare of the public and individuals. Where a nuisance is injurious to the public, the government has a right to sue for its abatement. An individual, however, has traditionally lacked standing to sue for damages or to enjoin a public nuisance where his injury is not distinct in degree and/or in kind from the injury to the public as a whole. While judicial inroads into this restrictive standing requirement …

A composition is here to be the combination and arrangement of parts to form a whole. Stated in another v/ay, the purpose is to demonstrate how postoperative congruences define the arrangement and combination of the parts of musical works.


Police Use Of Firearms In West Virginia--An Empirical Study, James R. Keegan Dec 1972

Police Use Of Firearms In West Virginia--An Empirical Study, James R. Keegan

West Virginia Law Review

In its study of crime and law enforcement in the United States, the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice found it "surprising and alarming that few police departments provide their officers with careful instruction on the circumstances under which the use of a firearm is permissible." This failure on the part of police administrators leaves the uninformed patrolman, charged with the day to day duty of law enforcement, subject to civil and criminal liability for the wrongful use of his weapon. It also needlessly exposed the innocent bystander to death or grievous bodily harm. To discover the …

The purpose of this paper is to provide public and private decision makers in Southeast Texas with an efficient planning model by identifying the structural interdependencies that exist in the regional economy. The Input-Output Model which is presented in the paper describes the structural relationships that exist …


Upper Rio Grande Valley - Texas Interindustry Study, Edward Y. George, John M. Richards Apr 1972

Upper Rio Grande Valley - Texas Interindustry Study, Edward Y. George, John M. Richards

Applications

The Interindustry Study of the Upper Rio Grande Valley indicates that the region is highly dependent on Federal government expenditures and export trade. The export-base industry in the region is highly dependent on imports and mostly related to outside firms. The manufacturing sector is quite limited to very few basic industries like primary metal, petroleum refining and apparels. These 3 industries have very low multipliers because the local supportive industry is not developed enough to provide the basic industries with a significant proportion of their input needs. The agricultural sector and the trades sector based on agricultural products have the …

A Study Of The Use Of Concrete And Abstract Stimuli In The Development Ofperceptual Abilities Of Disadvantaged Five Year Old Children., Delbert Allen Lawhon

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

It was the purpose of this investigation to study the use of concrete and abstract stimuli in the development of perceptual abilities of disadvantaged five year old children. Hypotheses to be tested were (1) that subjects who were presented a curriculum of concrete stimuli initially and progressing to stimuli if abstraction would have greater perceptual development than those subjects who were presented a curriculum of abstract stimuli, and (2) that subjects receiving curricula of concrete and abstract stimuli would have greater perceptual development than subjects serving as the Control Group. Subjects (N=44) were enrolled in Head Start and received the …


A Comparison Of The Effects Of Acute And Subacute Inhibition Of Cholinesterase On The Sensitivity Of Rat Tissues To Drugs, Dennis Joseph Foley Jan 1972

A Comparison Of The Effects Of Acute And Subacute Inhibition Of Cholinesterase On The Sensitivity Of Rat Tissues To Drugs, Dennis Joseph Foley

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study was undertaken to further define the characteristics of subsensitivity produced by chronic administration of cholinesterase inhibitors and to attempt to elucidate a possible mechanism by which it occurs. Administration of disulfoton, echothiophate , parathion and OMPA to rats for eight days resulted in a decreased sensitivity of segments of ileum to carbachol and a marked inhibition of both true and total cholinesterase. The results indicate that a relationship between the degree of subsensitivity and the extent of cholinesterase inhibition may exist.


The Kootenay Plains (Alberta) Land Question And Canadian Indian Policy, 1799-1947., John William Larner Jan 1972

The Kootenay Plains (Alberta) Land Question And Canadian Indian Policy, 1799-1947., John William Larner

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This paper contends that the Stoney (Assiniboine) people of southwestern Alberta, Canada, have a legitimate aboriginal claim to areas in the North Saskatchewan River headwaters known as Bighorn and Kootenay Plains, located between the first range of the Rocky Mountains and the Alberta-British Columbia boundary. The Stoneys appear to have followed two routes during their eighteenth-century westward migration from southeastern Manitoba. One group moved southwestwardly to central Montana, turning northward into the Alberta Rockies; while the other seems to have travelled along the prairie-parkland fringe, entering the mountains west of Edmonton, with one band taking possession of the upper North …


Petrology And Stratigraphy Of The Greenbrier Limestone And Upper Pocono Sandstones, Wayne And Lincoln Counties, West Virginia., Bernard Robert Henniger Jan 1972

Petrology And Stratigraphy Of The Greenbrier Limestone And Upper Pocono Sandstones, Wayne And Lincoln Counties, West Virginia., Bernard Robert Henniger

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A petrographic and stratigraphic study of the Middle Mississippian Greenbrier Group ("Big Lime") and associated units of southwestern West Virginia was undertaken by using 879 thin sections from 15 wells, 633 drillers' logs, and 66 mechanical logs. The "Big Lime" of southwestern West Virginia was deposited in a shallow- shelf, shoaling environment following slow transgression of the subtropical Greenbrier seas over a Pocono-Maccrady, deltaic-tidalflat complex. Regressive-transgressive fluctuations caused shoaling during lower to middle Union time, producing halo and crestal type oolite accumulations over Maccrady topographic highs. Biosparites were intimately associated with the shoal areas. Deepening of waters upon continued transgression …
