Asset Protection Trusts: Trust Law's Race To The Bottom?, Stewart E. Sterk
Asset Protection Trusts: Trust Law's Race To The Bottom?, Stewart E. Sterk
Articles
The article examines the evolution and implications of asset protection trusts, highlighting how their use has expanded beyond high-net-worth individuals to professionals like physicians. It critiques the race among jurisdictions, particularly smaller states such as Alaska and Delaware, to create favorable trust laws, arguing that this competition may lead to inefficient and unfair legal frameworks. The analysis emphasizes the tension between creditor rights and debtor protections, suggesting that without federal intervention or multistate coordination, this race could undermine the balance between these interests, potentially harming the broader economy.
Amatory Jurisprudence And The Querelle Des Lois, Peter Goodrich
Amatory Jurisprudence And The Querelle Des Lois, Peter Goodrich
Articles
It is my view, and here, no doubt, I am pre-empting my conclusion, that what literary and feminist historicism recognizes as the querelle des femmes, the debate as to the status and political role of women, is in fact underpinned and motivated by a much less explicit, yet nonetheless portentous, querelle des lois. The querelle des femmes, in other words, was always a polemic as to the legal status of women, as to their definition and role in theology and jurisprudence, canon and civil law. More than that, however, what the recovery of amatory jurisprudence can help to show is …

Clash Of The Titans: Regulating The Competition Between Established And Emerging Electronic Payment Systems, Jane Kaufman Winn
Clash Of The Titans: Regulating The Competition Between Established And Emerging Electronic Payment Systems, Jane Kaufman Winn
Articles
This article equates the providers of traditional electronic payment services with the Titans of Greek mythology, and the providers of new electronic payment technologies with the Olympians. Professor Winn concludes, however, that unlike the Titans of Greek mythology, these modern Titans appear to be winning in their battle with the upstart Olympians. This article describes the fundamental characteristics of payment systems, reviews the applicable law, and describes the new technologies that were, until quite recently, expected to displace older electronic payment systems. Professor Winn finds that consumers and merchants, by and large, are happy with the existing regulatory structure. And, …
Bonus Questions--Executive Compensation In The Era Of Pay For Performance, Charles M. Yablon
Bonus Questions--Executive Compensation In The Era Of Pay For Performance, Charles M. Yablon
Articles
The article critically examines the evolution of executive compensation, particularly the shift from traditional pay structures to performance-based systems, and argues that this shift has not resolved the underlying issues of excessive pay and misaligned incentives. Instead, it has introduced new conflicts of interest and inefficiencies. The author proposes a regulatory solution—a deductibility cap on executive pay—to curb excessive compensation and better align executive incentives with shareholder interests.
The Risks Of Adjudicating Vichy, Richard H. Weisberg
The Risks Of Adjudicating Vichy, Richard H. Weisberg
Articles
The article examines the risks and implications of adjudicating Vichy-era officials, focusing on Maurice Papon's trial for crimes against humanity. It highlights how the trial exposed France's complicity in the Holocaust, the role of its legal system in perpetuating anti-Semitic policies, and the challenges of addressing historical injustices decades later.

Deconstructing The Forced Assimilation Of Deaf People Via De'via Resistance And Affirmation Art, Patricia Durr
Deconstructing The Forced Assimilation Of Deaf People Via De'via Resistance And Affirmation Art, Patricia Durr
Articles
Historically many outstanding artists who were deaf have contributed to the visual arts, such as: Louis Frisino, Felix Kowalewski, Granville Redmond, Cadwallader Washbum, and Regina Olson Hughes. While these distinguished artists have enhanced the field of art, their work has not focused on the Deaf experience itself. With a heightened appreciation, acceptance, and acknowledgment of Deaf culture and American Sign Language (ASL), we see a virtual explosion of Deaf artists moving away from mainstream art to art that gives voice to their unique cultural experiences. This movement in the United States is known as Deaf View/Image Art (De'VIA). This paper …
Sketch-Based Image Queries In Topographic Databases, James Carswell
Sketch-Based Image Queries In Topographic Databases, James Carswell
Articles
In this paper we present the development of a system prototype for sketch-based queries for the content-based retrieval of digital images from topographic databases. We discuss our overall strategy and associated algorithmic and implementation aspects, and present associated database design issues. The query tools devised in this research are employing user-provided sketches of the shape and spatial configuration of the object(s) which should appear in the images to be retrieved. Our matching tool is inspired by least-squares matching (lsm), and represents an extension of lsm to function with a variety of raster representations. Our strategy makes use of a hierarchical …
The Arccos And Lommel Formulations—Approximate Closed-Form Diffraction Corrections, Charles J. Daly, Navalgund A. H. Rao
The Arccos And Lommel Formulations—Approximate Closed-Form Diffraction Corrections, Charles J. Daly, Navalgund A. H. Rao
Articles
A closed-form frequency-domain formalism for spatially integrated diffraction corrections is proposed. Spatially integrated diffraction corrections are necessary when trying to characterize material with ultrasonic probing. In the case of piston transducers and point receivers, the Lommel diffraction formulation is used when the excitation is monochromatic, and the arccos diffraction formulation is used when the excitation is impulsive. The Lommel and arccos formulations are usually treated separately; here, they are connected. Specifically, the arccos diffraction formulation and Lommel diffraction formulation are shown to form an approximate Fourier transform pair. Since the Lommel formulation is amenable to closed-form spatial integration, Lommel functions …

In Slip-Sliding Into Mediation: Can Lawyers Mediate Their Clients' Problems? [5 CLIN. L. REV. 47 (1998)], Jonathan Hyman argues that lawyers can mediate their clients' problems or transform themselves from a client's legal counselor and advocate to a neutral mediator. Professor Hyman points out that such a transformation can occur if (1) both clients give their informed consent; and (2) the lawyerturned-mediator does not offer evaluations of the case or subsequently represent either party. While Professor Hyman himself is quick to point out the many problems with this thesis, he nonetheless propounds it. I would argue that a partisan lawyer, …

A Spatially Averaged Impulse Response For An Unfocused Piston Transducer, Charles J. Daly, Navalgund Rao
A Spatially Averaged Impulse Response For An Unfocused Piston Transducer, Charles J. Daly, Navalgund Rao
Articles
Fourier–Bessel theory is used to derive a closed-form solution for the spatially averaged velocity-potential impulse response associated with one-way diffraction from an unfocused piston transducer of radius a. The derivation provides additional insight into the problem of diffraction from an unfocused piston transducer.

Full-Spectral Color Calculations In Realistic Image Synthesis, Garrett Johnson, Mark Fairchild
Full-Spectral Color Calculations In Realistic Image Synthesis, Garrett Johnson, Mark Fairchild
Articles
Color imaging and computer graphics share many of the same problems. Color reproduction systems increasingly lean toward spectral image capture and reproduction, in an attempt to create images that match the originals under any given viewing condition. We set out to use a synthetic image generation technique to create images with full spectral radiometric data at each pixel, for use in color imaging systems analysis. While working on this task, we realized that the standard RGB color model used in computer graphics suffered from the same problems as the typical imaging system. These problems manifest as color errors, which are …
Visual Determination Of Hue Suprathreshold Color-Difference Tolerances Using Crt-Generated Stimuli, Ethan Montag, Roy Berns
Visual Determination Of Hue Suprathreshold Color-Difference Tolerances Using Crt-Generated Stimuli, Ethan Montag, Roy Berns
Articles
Suprathreshold hue color-difference tolerances were measured at four color centers using CRT-generated stimuli. The tolerances, defined using CIELAB, were measured using two different methods of presentation. In the Absolute Experiment, the stimuli were presented at luminance levels that matched those of the previous object-color experiments, so that the CRT stimuli were nearly metameric to the originals. In the Relative Experiment, the white point of the monitor was defined as L* = 100 at a corresponding chromaticity to the object-color viewing environment, but at a lower luminance level. The results from these two experiments followed the same general trends; however, they …
Hyperspectral Imaging: Wide-Area Spectrophotometry Using A Liquid-Crystal Tunable Filter, Robert Slawson, Zoran Ninkov, Elliott Horch
Hyperspectral Imaging: Wide-Area Spectrophotometry Using A Liquid-Crystal Tunable Filter, Robert Slawson, Zoran Ninkov, Elliott Horch
Articles
This paper reports on the use of a tunable, liquid-crystal filter to obtain simultaneous, low-resolution spectrophotometry of multiple stars within a moderately crowded field. The filter is electronically tunable to any wavelength in the range from 400 to 720 nm with a nominal passband of 10 nm FWHM. In order to evaluate the performance of this filter, the central region of the Jewel Box cluster, NGC 4755, was repeatedly imaged as the filter's central wavelength was stepped from 435 to 720 nm in successive exposures. A spectrum for each of five brighter stars in the cluster field was then reconstructed …

End-To-End Color Printer Calibration By Total Least Squares Regression, Minghui Xia, Eli Saber, Gaurav Sharma
End-To-End Color Printer Calibration By Total Least Squares Regression, Minghui Xia, Eli Saber, Gaurav Sharma
Articles
Neugebauer (1937) modeling plays an important role in obtaining end-to-end device characterization profiles for halftone color printer calibration. This paper proposes total least square (TLS) regression methods to estimate the parameters of various Neugebauer models. Compared to the traditional least squares (LS) based methods, the TLS approach is physically more appropriate for the printer modeling problem because it accounts for errors in the measured reflectance of both the primaries and the modeled samples. A TLS method based on print measurements from single-colorant step-wedges is first developed. The method is then extended to incorporate multicolorant print measurements using an iterative algorithm. …
Kubelka-Munk Theory And The Yule-Nielsen Effect On Halftones, Jonathan Arney, Eric Pray, Katsuya Ito
Kubelka-Munk Theory And The Yule-Nielsen Effect On Halftones, Jonathan Arney, Eric Pray, Katsuya Ito
Articles
This report experimentally relates the Yule–Nielsen n parameter for optical dot gain to the scattering and absorption parameters, S and K, of Kubelka–Munk theory. The relationship between the parameters is made through another metric of light scatter, kp, defined as the inverse of the frequency, ω in cy/mm, at which the MTF of the paper equals 1/2. The value of n is related exponentially to kp, as shown in earlier work, and the current work indicates that kp = c/S, where c is a constant equal approximately to 10. However, contrary to some intuition and to previous theoretical projections, the …
Determining Optical Absorption Of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter In Seawater With A Liquid Capillary Waveguide, Enrico D’Sa, Robert Steward, Anthony Vodacek
Determining Optical Absorption Of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter In Seawater With A Liquid Capillary Waveguide, Enrico D’Sa, Robert Steward, Anthony Vodacek
Articles
Optical absorption spectra of 0.2- um filtered sea-water samples originating from diverse oceanic and coastal waters were measured with a long pathlength capillary wave-guide; results were compared with those of three different lab-oratory spectrophotometers. The 0.5-m long 550- um (inside diameter) aqueous waveguide uses only 120 ml of filtered sea-water, making it convenient for use in flow-through cells or when sample volumes are restricted. Source light propagates inside the capillary waveguide by total internal reflection because of the lower refractive index of the waveguide walls with respect to the aqueous core. The absorption coefficient of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) …
Symmetry Properties Of Halftone Images I : Scattering Symmetry And Pattern Symmetry, Jonathan Arney, Shinya Yamaguchi
Symmetry Properties Of Halftone Images I : Scattering Symmetry And Pattern Symmetry, Jonathan Arney, Shinya Yamaguchi
Articles
Previous work has shown that the mechanism of color and tone reproduction in halftone imaging systems can be described quantitatively by modeling functions for mean level probability, Pij, for light scattering from region i to region j, where regions i and j may be, for example, regions of the printed paper covered by different inks in the halftone process. The value of Pij has been shown to be a function of the area fractions of the regions, fi and fj. In the past, the Pij functions were written empirically to fit observed data or determined by convolution calculations involving the …
Symmetry Properties Of Halftone Images Ii : Accounting For Ink Opacity And Dot Sharpness, Jonathan Arney, Akio Tsujita
Symmetry Properties Of Halftone Images Ii : Accounting For Ink Opacity And Dot Sharpness, Jonathan Arney, Akio Tsujita
Articles
Previous work has shown that tone reproduction characteristics of halftone images can be modeled with knowledge of the probability function P[00], for light to reflect from the paper between the halftone dots after having entered the paper between the halftone dots. In the current report, experimental measurements of the micro-reflectance, R[p], of the paper between the dots is measured as a function of dot area fraction, F, and used with the model to calculate experimental values for P[00] versus F. It is then shown that the model can be modified to account for inks that have significant scattering. The model …

A Corporate-Wide Ergonomics Programme: Implementation And Evaluation, Colin Drury, Richard Broderick, Charles Weidman
Articles
The challenge of introducing an ergonomics programme into a diverse and relatively loosely-structured corporation is considered. A programme based on a defined multi-step problem-solving process was developed and implemented. An audit of this programme was undertaken in nine divisions, covering each division headquarters and 157 workplaces in 11 plants. From the audit a set of future needs was derived, with changes in the organization, the ergonomic analysis methods, and the specification of solutions.
