All-Optical Synchronisation And Multiplication Of The Frequency Of Mode-Locked Signals, P. Phelan, Gerald Farrell, Joe Hegarty Jan 1992

All-Optical Synchronisation And Multiplication Of The Frequency Of Mode-Locked Signals, P. Phelan, Gerald Farrell, Joe Hegarty

Articles

We report all-optical synchronized multiplication by rational fractions of the modulation frequency of optical signals in self-pulsing two-section semiconductor laser diodes. The effect is based on the overlap of harmonics of the input signal with harmonics of the self-pulsation. We illustrate this new generic function with modelocked inputs rich in harmonics were fractions of 1,2, and 3 / 2 are generated, and we identify a number of applications for this effect.

The Forty-Third Session Of The Un Sub-Commission On Prevention Of Discrimination And Protection Of Minorities: The Sub-Commission Under Scrutiny, Karen Reierson, David Weissbrodt Jan 1992

The Forty-Third Session Of The Un Sub-Commission On Prevention Of Discrimination And Protection Of Minorities: The Sub-Commission Under Scrutiny, Karen Reierson, David Weissbrodt

Articles

Throughout 1988, the United Nations celebrated the fortieth anniversary of its seminal human rights instrument, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.' At its August 1988 session the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities2 (hereinafter the Sub- Commission) noted a similar milestone in its history; it met for the fortieth time since its creation in 1947. While the fortieth anniversary of the Dec- laration has inspired self-congratulatory activities throughout the United Nations, the 1988 session of the Sub-Commission was marked more by self- evaluation. The Sub-Commission has been engaged in a process of taking stock of …

The Benevolent Paternalism Of Japanese Criminal Justice, Daniel H. Foote Jan 1992

The Benevolent Paternalism Of Japanese Criminal Justice, Daniel H. Foote

Articles

Models for a criminal-justice system based on an ethos of rehabilitation and reintegration-such as Llewellyn's "parental" and Griffiths' "family" models-have been regarded as idealistic but unworkable in the real world, except perhaps in totalitarian or primitive societies. Professor Foote, however, has found in Japan just such a model, which he labels "benevolent paternalism." The Japanese criminal-justice system is benevolent in that its goal is to achieve reformation and reintegration into society through lenient sanctions tailored to the offender's particular circumstances. The system is paternalism in that it allows substantial discretion to the state in both gathering and using information about …


Recent Developments - Cinematic Sex And Censorship In Indian Film, Anita Ramasastry Jan 1992

Recent Developments - Cinematic Sex And Censorship In Indian Film, Anita Ramasastry

Articles

This Recent Development examines the increasing presence of cinematic rape in general-audience Indian films and discusses the potential cultural origins of the cinematic portrait of Indian women as chaste subordinates to men and as frequent subjects of violence. To account for this trend, this Recent Development outlines the legal guidelines governing Indian film censorship, and in particular the guidelines regulating sexuality. From this vantage point, the use of various suggestive cinematic techniques, including the regular portrayal of rape, may be seen as attempts by directors to circumvent government censure of kissing and other intimate relations on-screen. Finally, this Recent Development …


Toward A Partial Economic, Game-Theoretic Analysis Of Hearsay, Richard D. Friedman Jan 1992

Toward A Partial Economic, Game-Theoretic Analysis Of Hearsay, Richard D. Friedman

Articles

In this Article, I offer a fundamentally different and nondoctrinaire way of approaching hearsay questions. In brief, I take the view that the resolution of a hearsay dispute, when the declarant is not on the stand, is essentially a matter of deciding who should bear the burden of producing the declarant, or more precisely, how courts should allocate that burden. Adopting a simple procedural improvement, concerning the examination of the declarant if she is produced as a witness, allows the court to allocate the burden optimally. If live testimony by the declarant would be more probative than prejudicial, then most …


Evidentiary Rules And Rulings: The Role Of Treatises, Richard D. Friedman Jan 1992

Evidentiary Rules And Rulings: The Role Of Treatises, Richard D. Friedman

Articles

I have devoted large gobs of time to work on a multi-author treatise on the law of evidence.' And before even one volume is published, I will devote further multiple gobs of time to the project-which, perhaps audaciously and perhaps merely foolishly, but with heredity and precedent on our side,2 we are calling The New Wigmore. Accordingly, I found the question posed by this symposium-Does Evidence Law Matter?-rather disquieting. If it is doubtful even whether the law of evidence matters, then how much can a treatise on the law of evidence matter, and how worthwhile can such a work be? …

Child Protection Legal Process: Comparing The United States And Great Britain, Donald N. Duquette Jan 1992

Child Protection Legal Process: Comparing The United States And Great Britain, Donald N. Duquette

Articles

The legal response to child maltreatment-or the risk of child maltreatment-varies greatly from society to society and has been little studied, in part because of the idiosyncrasies of community values, social organization, history and legal traditions.2 Cross-country comparison of child abuse and neglect is especially difficult because the ambiguity of social standards and the imprecision of terms used makes it difficult to define the specific behavior one is studying. Even though child maltreatment is widely prohibited, the definition of what actually constitutes child abuse and neglect is not clear within a particular country, much less uniform from one society to …


Infinite Strands, Infinitesimally Thin: Storytelling, Bayesianism, Hearsay And Other Evidence, Richard D. Friedman Jan 1992

Infinite Strands, Infinitesimally Thin: Storytelling, Bayesianism, Hearsay And Other Evidence, Richard D. Friedman

Articles

David Schum has long been one of our keenest commentators on questions of inference and proof. He has been particularly interested in, and illuminating on, the subject of "cascaded," or multi-step, inference.' This is a subject of importance to lawyers, because most evidence at trial can be analyzed in terms of cascaded inference. Usually, the proposition that the fact finder2 might immediately infer from the evidence is not itself an element of a crime, claim, or defense. Most often, an extra inference would be required to jump from that proposition to a proposition that the law deems material. Thus, inference …
