Suing The Devil: A Guide For Practitioners, Charles M. Yablon
Suing The Devil: A Guide For Practitioners, Charles M. Yablon
Articles
The essay humorously argues that suing the Devil is a viable legal strategy, challenging the perception of his invincibility. It provides a guide on navigating the procedural and substantive legal challenges involved, suggesting that the Devil's legal vulnerabilities make him a feasible target for litigation.
U.S. Federal Government Cios: Information Technology's New Managers--Preliminary Findings, Marianne Buehler
U.S. Federal Government Cios: Information Technology's New Managers--Preliminary Findings, Marianne Buehler
Articles
The Clinger-Cohen Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (Clinger-Cohen Act) has changed the dynamics of how federal agencies view and manage their information technology. The mandated provision for Chief Information Officers (CIOs) is to act as information change agents and technology “watchdogs” for their agency. To observe how government is reacting to employing CIOs, field studies were conducted by e-mail with eight agencies to discover the successes and the challenges of this new information initiative. Four of the agencies contacted were mandated by the Clinger-Cohen Act and four were non-mandated. The results of this study depict varying levels of …
College Teachers' Perceptions Of English Language Characteristics That Identify English Language Learning Disabled Deaf Students, Gerald Berent, Vincent Samar, Ila Parasnis
College Teachers' Perceptions Of English Language Characteristics That Identify English Language Learning Disabled Deaf Students, Gerald Berent, Vincent Samar, Ila Parasnis
Articles
Deaf individuals typically experience English language difficulties at all levels of linguistic knowledge. Hearing individuals with English language learning disabilities (LD) can exhibit the same kinds of English language difficulties as deaf individuals. Although the existence of deaf individuals who also have LD has long been recognized, no definite criteria for identifying them exist, partly because of the confounding effects of deafness and LD on English language development. Despite the confound, previous surveys suggest that teachers believe atypical English-language behavior is a potential diagnostic marker for LD in deaf individuals. In the present study, a survey solicited the intuitions of …
Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Acceptance Charts, Donald Holmes
Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Acceptance Charts, Donald Holmes
Articles
A description of acceptance charts, which use subgroup averages, was published by Freund in 1957 (Industrial Quality Control 1957; (October); 13-23). The purpose of these charts is to evaluate a process in terms of whether or not it could be expected to satisfy product tolerances. This paper combines the acceptance chart concept with the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA). An example is included to illustrate the proposed concept.
A Problem-Based Learning Approach To Business Software Skills, Victor Perotti, Patricia Sorce, Ben Isselhardt
A Problem-Based Learning Approach To Business Software Skills, Victor Perotti, Patricia Sorce, Ben Isselhardt
Articles
Today, computer software skills are a fundamental requirement for every businessperson. It is difficult to imagine how an individual could even survive in the current business atmosphere without the ability to use basic computer applications. Thus, the instruction of theses skills has become an important facet of all Business education. Unfortunately, the traditional lecture and repetition approach to these skills seldom work well. It becomes very obvious that learning computer software requires practice with the software, rather than lengthy discourse on the subject. This paper presents an overview of our transition to an alternative teaching methodology, problem-based learning, for the …
Current-Voltage Characteristics Of High Current Density Silicon Esaki Diodes Grown By Molecular Beam Epitaxy And The Influence Of Thermal Annealing, Michael Dashiell, Ralph Troeger, Sean Rommel
Current-Voltage Characteristics Of High Current Density Silicon Esaki Diodes Grown By Molecular Beam Epitaxy And The Influence Of Thermal Annealing, Michael Dashiell, Ralph Troeger, Sean Rommel
Articles
We present the characteristics of uniformly doped silicon Esaki tunnel diodes grown by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy (Tgrowth=275°C) using in situ boron and phosphorus doping. The effects of ex situ thermal annealing are presented for temperatures between 640 and 800°C. A maximum peak to valley current ratio (PVCR) of 1.47 was obtained at the optimum annealing temperature of 680°C for 1 min. Peak and valley (excess) currents decreased more than two orders of magnitude as annealing temperatures and times were increased with rates empirically determined to have thermal activation energies of 2.2 and 2.4 eV respectively. The decrease in …
Comparing Lifetime Emissions Of Natural Gas And Conventional Fuel Vehicles: An Application Of The Generalized Ancova Model, Michael Deaton, James Winebrake
Comparing Lifetime Emissions Of Natural Gas And Conventional Fuel Vehicles: An Application Of The Generalized Ancova Model, Michael Deaton, James Winebrake
Articles
New regulations and incentives are encouraging the use of clean, alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in urban areas. These vehicles are seen as one option for reducing air pollution from mobile sources. However, because of the limited number of AFVs on the road, little is known about actual lifetime emissions characteristics of in-use AFVs. This study describes the use of a generalized analysis of covariance model to evaluate and compare the emissions from natural gas vehicles with emissions from reformulated gasoline vehicles. The model describes fleet-wide emissions deterioration, while also accounting for individual vehicle variability within the fleet. This ability to …
A Treatise On Signed And Spoken Language In Early 19th Century Deaf Education In America, Harry Lang, W. Stokoe
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).
Heterodyne Detection For Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors, Hedi Bellil, Mustafa Abushagur
Heterodyne Detection For Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors, Hedi Bellil, Mustafa Abushagur
Articles
In this paper, we present a Fiber-Bragg-Grating-based temperature sensor. The technique employs heterodyne detection using two Fiber Bragg Gratings. One of the gratings is used as a reference (local oscillator) and the second as a sensing arm. This sensor uses a Folded Mach-Zehnder interferometer. As the temperature changes, the Bragg wavelength of the FBG shifts. The heterodyne detection is used to detect the frequency difference between the reference and sensing signals that is caused by the temperature change. The dynamic range and sensitivity of the sensor were analyzed and presented.
Habitat Conversion, Information Acquisition, And The Conservation Of Biodiversity, Amitrajeet Batabyal
Habitat Conversion, Information Acquisition, And The Conservation Of Biodiversity, Amitrajeet Batabyal
Articles
We analyze two questions concerning the conservation of biodiversity in a dynamic and stochastic framework. First, given the link between natural habitats and biodiversity, when should a social planner stop the habitat conversion process? Second, what is the nexus between a social planner's optimal conservation policy And the length of this individual's planning horizon? We obtain the following two results. First the optimal conservation policy calls for the social planner to wait a while, i.e. not act upon receipt of the first (1/e) fraction of all utility packets. The social planner should then stop the habitat conversion process upon receipt …
An Empirical Study Of Student Attitudes Toward Group Learning Experience, Khondkar Karim, Robert Rutledge, Pierre Titard
An Empirical Study Of Student Attitudes Toward Group Learning Experience, Khondkar Karim, Robert Rutledge, Pierre Titard
Articles
This study examines business students' attitudes and beliefs about the non-performance benefits of cooperative learning used to address changes in business education (Accounting Education Change Commission, 1990). In doing so, this paper seeks to fill the gap between learning outcomes and the students' perceived value of this learning experience (cottell & Millis, 1992; 1993; Peek, Peek, & Horras, 1994; Peek Winking, & Peek, 1995; Fellers, 1996; Hite. 1996). The remainder of this paper presents a discussion of the background and application of cooperative learning, and describes the research methodology used. The analysis of data and empirical results are presented, followed …
Quality Management Applied To Higher Education, A. Erhan Mergen, Delvin Grant, Stanley Widrick
Quality Management Applied To Higher Education, A. Erhan Mergen, Delvin Grant, Stanley Widrick
Articles
In the last decade, many universities and American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) have increased their interest in applying principles of quality management, however, there is limited discussion and no universally agree upon model of quality management. We propose a model of quality management that has three components: quality of design, quality of conformance, and quality of performance. The model is applied to Rochester Institute of Technology's College of Business. It provides a framework to identify research, teaching and operational improvement opportunities.
The Effect Of International Institutional Factors On Properties Of Accounting Earnings, Ray Ball, S.P. Kothari, Ashok Robin
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.

Improved Direct Solver For Building Energy Simulation, Michael Crowley, Saleem Hashmi
Articles
Finite difference methods, when applied to the differential equations modelling energy flows in buildings, give rise to a system of non-linear difference equations. A frequently used direct solution method involving linearization is analysed and a related method proposed. These and one other connected method are compared using a building related test problem prepared for this purpose. The proposed numerical method is found to produce least error, about 30% less than the commonly used method, and it is recommended for inclusion in building energy simulation software. A fundamental method for estimating the pre conditioning period of a building, arising from the …

Using Technology To Educate The Public, Stephen M. Johnson
Articles
While the primary focus of any law faculty will always be its law students, the Internet and other new technologies enable law teachers to assume a central role in providing free legal education to the public. Although many schools are experimenting with distance learning and computer-assisted legal educa- tion to train law students, the real power of those tools may be their potential to facilitate public access to legal information. Traditionally, educating the general public has not been a primary responsibility of law professors, but today we have not only an opportunity, but an obligation, to develop computer-based legal education …
Prosecuting Violence/Reconstructing Community, Anthony V. Alfieri
Prosecuting Violence/Reconstructing Community, Anthony V. Alfieri
Articles
For two centuries, the private violence of American history has paraded into courts for public trial. Often dramatized by the spectacle of rape and murder, the public trials of private violence increasingly are seen to decide the fates of both the accused and the victim of crime. The fate of community, whether the community of the victim, the accused, or the public, seems at first blush untouched by such trials. Like victims and their families, however, communities struck by violence suffer profound loss. That loss is expressed in the destruction of public discourse, reason, and citizenship. This public ruin is …

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 …
