The Confirmation Process And The Quality Of Political Debate, Jonathan L. Entin Jan 1993

The Confirmation Process And The Quality Of Political Debate, Jonathan L. Entin

Faculty Publications

This Article examines the seeming contradiction between the rise of the ideological model and the increasing public revulsion against the degrading spectacle that the confirmation process all too often has become. The principal problem with recent confirmation debates has been the exaggeration of the stakes of argument. Participants have focused so single-mindedly on winning the immediate battle that they have lost sight of the limited impact that any individual justice can have on American law and society. I suggest that the kind of political discourse which can promote effective government has both normative and empirical components. The normative aspect involves …

Rethinking Wrongful Life: Bridging The Boundary Between Tort And Family Law, Philip G. Peters Jr. Jan 1993

Rethinking Wrongful Life: Bridging The Boundary Between Tort And Family Law, Philip G. Peters Jr.

Faculty Publications

Traditional tort law embraces an unduly narrow notion of corrective justice that fails to resolve wrongful life disputes satisfactorily. The unique circumstances associated with the creation of a new life bring into play another, broader paradigm of responsibility: one that resembles family law more than tort. From this perspective, children whose birth can be attributed to tortious conduct have a strong moral claim for supplemental child support whenever a tortfeasor's interference with the pro- creative rights of the parents foreseeably results in the birth of a child and that child's parents cannot provide adequate support. In such an instance, the …

Design Of A Functional Calcium Channel Protein: Inferences About An Ion Channel‐Forming Motif Derived From The Primary Structure Of Voltage‐Gated Calcium Channels, Anne Grove, John M. Tomich, Takeo Iwamoto, Mauricio Montal Jan 1993

Design Of A Functional Calcium Channel Protein: Inferences About An Ion Channel‐Forming Motif Derived From The Primary Structure Of Voltage‐Gated Calcium Channels, Anne Grove, John M. Tomich, Takeo Iwamoto, Mauricio Montal

Faculty Publications

To identify sequence‐specific motifs associated with the formation of an ionic pore, we systematically evaluated the channel‐forming activity of synthetic peptides with sequence of predicted transmembrane segments of the voltage‐gated calcium channel. The amino acid sequence of voltage‐gated, dihydropyridine (DHP)‐sensitive calcium channels suggests the presence in each of four homologous repeats (I–IV) of six segments (S1–S6) predicted to form membrane‐spanning, α‐helical structures. Only peptides representing amphipathic segments S2 or S3 form channels in lipid bilayers. To generate a functional calcium channel based on a four‐helix bundle motif, four‐helix bundle proteins representing IVS2 (T4CaIVS2) or IVS3 (T4CaIVS3) were synthesized. Both proteins …

Defining The Right To Die, David M. English Jan 1993

Defining The Right To Die, David M. English

Faculty Publications

Although Friedrich Nietzsche was not noted for his views on medical ethics, the above quotation captures the essence of James Lindgren's article. Lindgren posits that the recent O'Connor' and Cruzan decisions signal a shift in the law on the withdrawal or withholding of treatment. He concludes that the requirement set forth in those cases-that an individual must have clearly and convincingly expressed his or her wishes before treatment can be terminated--errs unduly on the side of life. Basing his conclusion primarily on preferences revealed by public opinion polls, he contends that a better rule would be to presume, subject to …

1993 Survey Of Trends And Developments On Religious Liberty In The Courts, Carl H. Esbeck Jan 1993

1993 Survey Of Trends And Developments On Religious Liberty In The Courts, Carl H. Esbeck

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this survey is to note important case law developments in the state and lower federal courts concerning religious liberty. Purposely omitted are the widely reported United States Supreme Court opinions, as well as cases where the Supreme Court has granted review during the 1993-94 term. The focus here is on significant or interesting cases that may otherwise escape broad attention. Only the facts and rationale of each decision is summarized. No editorial comment on the merits of these cases is intended.

Race, Income, And Survival From Breast Cancer At Two Public Hospitals, David Ansell, Steven Whitman, Rebecca Lipton, Richard Cooper Jan 1993

Race, Income, And Survival From Breast Cancer At Two Public Hospitals, David Ansell, Steven Whitman, Rebecca Lipton, Richard Cooper

Faculty Publications

Background. Some studies have shown that adjustment for socioeconomic status reduces breast cancer survival differences between blacks and whites. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of age, race, stage, treatment, and income status on breast cancer survival among women attending public hospitals in Chicago, Illinois. Methods. Hospital Cancer Registry data on 887 black women and 265 white women with breast cancer onset between 1973–1985 were analyzed using Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier techniques. The purpose was to examine the effect of age, race, stage, treatment, and income on breast cancer survival. Results. Black women with breast cancer …

Interpreting U.N. Sanctions: The Rulings And Role Of The Yugoslavia Sanctions Committee, Michael P. Scharf, Joshua L. Dorosin

Faculty Publications

Part I of this article provides, for the first time, a systematic analysis of over one hundred key rulings of the UN Yugoslavia Sanctions Committee, grouping them into categories for easy reference.7 It is hoped that this digest of important Sanctions Committee rulings will aid the members of the Sanctions Committee in identifying and following precedent, aid governments in implementing the sanctions, and assist businesses (and their lawyers) in operating under them.' This Article does not, however, purport to be a comprehensive survey of all of the Sanctions Committee's cases, or even all of its important cases. Indeed, one of …

Impedance Spectroscopy As A Nondestructive Health Interrogation Tool For Lithium-Bcx Cells, Branko N. Popov, W. Zhang, E. C. Darcy, Ralph E. White Jan 1993

Impedance Spectroscopy As A Nondestructive Health Interrogation Tool For Lithium-Bcx Cells, Branko N. Popov, W. Zhang, E. C. Darcy, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

The objective of this investigation was to study the growth of thick passivating layers on the Li anode in Li/BCX(Li/SOCl2 + BrCl) cells which were stored for a period of 3 years. Impedance spectroscopy and equivalent circuit models were used to determine characterizing parameters for these cells. The equivalent circuit used for virgin cells includes a faradic contribution and diffusion of the electroactive species. The equivalent circuit for batteries stored 1 or 2 years includes the impedance of a metal/passive film interface, the resistance of the film, and the impedance of the passivating film/electrolyte interface. The equivalent circuit used …

Effects Of Aerobic Training In Adolescents With Down Syndrome, A. Lynn Millar, Bo Fernhall, Lee N. Burkett Jan 1993

Effects Of Aerobic Training In Adolescents With Down Syndrome, A. Lynn Millar, Bo Fernhall, Lee N. Burkett

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects that aerobic training has on adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome. Fourteen individuals with Down syndrome (mean age = 17.7 yr) participated in a 10-wk walking/jogging exercise training study. A pre- and post-training walking treadmill test was performed to determine the following parameters: peak oxygen uptake (VO2, absolute and relative), minute ventilation (VE, l•min-1), heart rate HR, b•min-1), RER (VCO2/VO2), and time and grade to exhaustion. Following the pre-training evaluations, subjects were assigned to a control group (N = 4) or an exercise group (N= 10). The exercise group …

Child Care Enterprise, Community Development, And Work, Peter R. Pitegoff Jan 1993

Child Care Enterprise, Community Development, And Work, Peter R. Pitegoff

Faculty Publications

Child care enterprise can be a vehicle for community-based economic development. Beyond the critical goal of child care service, day care as an enterprise can help build capacity for job creation and entrepreneurship in the inner city and in disadvantaged communities. Stable child care institutions with quality jobs can sound a counterpoint to the feminization of poverty. The demand for child care services is substantial and growing. In single parent families and in households with two working parents, day care is essential to enable parents to work or go to school. Further, high quality early childhood programs can have a …
