A Treatise On Signed And Spoken Language In Early 19th Century Deaf Education In America, Harry Lang, W. Stokoe

Articles

This article introduces a reprint of an 1835 article by Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard entitled, "Existing State of the Art of Instructing the Deaf and Dumb". It reviews Barnard's background and achievements (including 25 years as the president of Columbia College), his familial progressive deafness, and his advanced views on communication methods (he urged use of both sign language and English).


The Effect Of International Institutional Factors On Properties Of Accounting Earnings, Ray Ball, S.P. Kothari, Ashok Robin Jan 2000

The Effect Of International Institutional Factors On Properties Of Accounting Earnings, Ray Ball, S.P. Kothari, Ashok Robin

Articles

International differences in the demand for accounting income predictably affect the way it incorporates economic income (change in market value) over time. We characterize the "shareholder" and "stakeholder" corporate governance models of common and cod law countries respectively as resoling information asymmetry by public disclosure and private communication. Also, code law directly links accounting income to current.

The Death Of Privacy?, A. Michael Froomkin Jan 2000

The Death Of Privacy?, A. Michael Froomkin

Articles

The rapid deployment of privacy-destroying technologies by governments and businesses threatens to make informational privacy obsolete. The first part of this article describes a range of current technologies to which the law has yet to respond effectively. These include: routine collection of transactional data, growing automated surveillance in public places, deployment of facial recognition technology and other biometrics, cell-phone tracking, vehicle tracking, satellite monitoring, workplace surveillance, Internet tracking from cookies to "clicktrails", hardware-based identifiers, intellectual property-protecting "snitchware," and sense-enhanced searches that allow observers to see through everything from walls to clothes. The cumulative and reinforcing effect of these technologies may …


Internet Sexual Predators: Protecting Children In The Global Community, Madeleine M. Plasencia Jan 2000

Internet Sexual Predators: Protecting Children In The Global Community, Madeleine M. Plasencia

Articles

The Internet, serving as the largest network of computers in the world, has provided the horizontal parallax over which all can participate in communication and transaction, education and entertainment4 It also serves a community of participants and beneficiaries whose goals are not always shared or legal. The rise of this advanced technology has led to a new "red light district."

Unlike the physical spaces available for the distribution of pornography and sexual favors for money, the Internet, with its lack of structure, has led to an unimaginable amount of pornography available for any on-line spectator.' Information necessary for consummation of …


Cell Surface Effects Of Androgens Between 1 Pm And 100 Nm On Rat Sertoli Cells And Two Human Prostatic Cell Lines, Lncap And Pc3: Evidence For Two Membrance Receptors, Fiona Lyng, G. R. Jones, F. F.G. Rommerts Jan 2000

Cell Surface Effects Of Androgens Between 1 Pm And 100 Nm On Rat Sertoli Cells And Two Human Prostatic Cell Lines, Lncap And Pc3: Evidence For Two Membrance Receptors, Fiona Lyng, G. R. Jones, F. F.G. Rommerts

Articles

Androgen-induced calcium fluxes and gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) were studied in three different cell types. A transient (2–3 min duration) increase in intracellular calcium levels was observed within 20–30 sec of androgen addition, which was followed by a plateau phase with steroid concentrations higher than 1 nM. The kinetics of the calcium responses were similar in immature rat Sertoli cells, which contain normal nuclear receptors; the human prostatic tumor cell line, LNCaP, which contains a mutated nuclear receptor; and the human prostatic cell line, PC3, which does not contain a nuclear receptor. The human A431 tumor cell line did …


Legal Education In The Digital Age, Stephen M. Johnson Jan 2000

Legal Education In The Digital Age, Stephen M. Johnson

Articles

The reports of the demise of traditional law school teaching methods have been greatly exaggerated, however. Historically, reforms in legal education have moved glacially. For reasons described in this Article, it is unlikely that law schools and the American Bar Association will radically restructure legal education in the coming decades, regardless of any potential benefits. Part I of this Article provides a short history of legal education and the introduction of technology into legal education. Part H examines the potential use of technology to enhance traditional law school teaching, or to replace it with "classroom-free" or "extended classroom" teaching methods. …


Transit Of Straits And Archipelagic Waters By Military Aircraft, Bernard H. Oxman Jan 2000

Transit Of Straits And Archipelagic Waters By Military Aircraft, Bernard H. Oxman

Articles

The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea balances the interests of states in ways that are more refined than the classic summa divisio between the free high seas and territorial waters. The result for aviation is the preservation of freedom of overflight for civil and military aircraft seaward of the territorial sea in the exclusive economic zone as on the high seas beyond, and the right of such aircraft to transit archipelagic waters as well as straits comprised of territorial seas and internal waters. A proper understanding of the scope of these rights and their relationship to the …

Privacy, Publication, And The First Amendment: The Dangers Of First Amendment Exceptionalism, Richard A. Epstein Jan 2000

Privacy, Publication, And The First Amendment: The Dangers Of First Amendment Exceptionalism, Richard A. Epstein

Articles

The coordination of common law and constitutional norms are of pressing importance on matters of freedom of speech. In the Supreme Court and elsewhere, it is possible to discern two sharply inconsistent attitudes toward this question. One view holds that the First Amendment simply prevents any legislative backsliding from the common law rules that protect freedom of speech and of the press, much as they protect freedom of contract and freedom of action generally. On this view, the standard rule governing damages and injunctive relief apply to speech much as they do anywhere else. On the alternative view of what …

It Takes A Library To Support Distance Learners, Marianne Buehler, Elizabeth Dopp, Kerry A. Hughes, Jennifer Thompson

Articles

Wallace Library's philosophy is to create and provide resources and services that will support all users. Consequently, distance learners and distance faculty have a plethora of online resources available to them, some of which is "pushed out," saving time and effort for the library user. The evolvement of Wallace's online resources is continuous, focused on the student or professor's research need from a geographic distance.

Catalytic Impact Of Information Technology On The New International Financial Architecture, Jane K. Winn Jan 2000

Catalytic Impact Of Information Technology On The New International Financial Architecture, Jane K. Winn

Articles

The sudden emergence of the Internet as a global network threatens to eclipse the importance of the global information infrastructure painstakingly built by financial institutions and their regulators over the past three decades. The open public nature of the Internet threatens the value of the closed proprietary networks developed by financial institutions that now face serious problems in integrating their legacy systems and new Internet systems.

Information system security, once a dreary back office matter, is now central to the success of e-commerce business plans. Before financial institutions can capitalize on their expertise in information system security, they will have …


Deliberating About Dollars: The Severity Shift Empirical Study, Cass R. Sunstein, Daniel Kahneman, David Schkade Jan 2000

Deliberating About Dollars: The Severity Shift Empirical Study, Cass R. Sunstein, Daniel Kahneman, David Schkade

Articles

How does jury deliberation affect the predeliberation judgments of individual jurors? In this paper we make progress on that question by reporting the results of a study of over 500 mock juries composed of over 3000 jury eligible citizens. Our principal finding is that with respect to dollars, deliberation produces a "severity shift," in which the jury's dollar verdict is systematically higher than that of the median of its jurors' predeliberation judgments. A "deliberation shift analysis" is introduced to measure the effect of deliberation. The severity shift is attributed to a "rhetorical asymmetry," in which arguments for higher awards are …
