Remedying Insurers' Bad Faith Contract Performance: A Reassessment, Robert H. Jerry Ii Jan 1986

Remedying Insurers' Bad Faith Contract Performance: A Reassessment, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

This article examines the implications of the differing remedies provided by tort and contract law. Part I describes the traditional major duties owed by an insurer to an insured and outlines the remedies currently provided in most jurisdictions for the breach of these duties. Part II gives special attention to the insurer's implied duty of good faith and fair dealing; it reviews the historical origins of the duty and describes the alternative ways to categorize it. Part III argues that the duty of good faith and fair dealing should be treated as a contract duty, but that courts should administer …

When Lawyer And Client Meet: Observations Of Interviewing And Counseling Behavior In The Consumer Bankruptcy Law Office, Gary Neustadter Jan 1986

When Lawyer And Client Meet: Observations Of Interviewing And Counseling Behavior In The Consumer Bankruptcy Law Office, Gary Neustadter

Faculty Publications

What happens when lawyer and client first meet? How do they talk, how do they listen, what do they say, and what do they do? The answers to these questions are generated, and then lost, in thousands of law offices daily. There is thus a treasure of information, but it is mostly hidden from our view by legal barriers that protect privacy and confidentiality and by other barriers, economic, psychological, and logistical, that inhibit or preclude third party observation of lawyer-client contact. This Article reports an exploratory journey in search of that treasure, a journey into six law offices in …

Faculty Publications

Blood pressure levels, anthropometric parameters, and dietary intakes were assessed in 1981 and 1983 in a population of black (n = 236) and white (n = 296) adolescent girls, aged 14 and 16 years in 1983. The 14-year-old black girls exhibited significantly higher mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures than whites in both years. Body weight and Quetelet index were more strongly associated with blood pressure than were height and triceps skinfold thickness. Correcting blood pressures for weight, Quetelet index, 2-year changes in height, and age at menarche decreased in each case (but did not negate) the observed race differences …

Surface Effects On The Diamagnetic Susceptibility And Other Properties Of A Low-Temperature Electron Gas, Lipo Wang, R. F. Oconnell Jan 1986

Surface Effects On The Diamagnetic Susceptibility And Other Properties Of A Low-Temperature Electron Gas, Lipo Wang, R. F. Oconnell

Faculty Publications

A general formulation is developed for determining the free energy of a Fermi gas contained in an arbitrary smooth external potential barrier and in a weak magnetic field, in the low-temperature limit. The Wigner phase-space formalism of quantum mechanics is used as a calculational tool. Explicit formulas are given, which enable one to compute surface and temperature effects on various physical properties (susceptibility, specific heat, etc.) of the system. Some simple examples are constructed for the diamagnetic-susceptibility calculation, which show that the corrections depend on the form of the surface potential barrier and the size of the material, but, in …

A Mathematical Model Of A Zn/Br2 Cell On Charge, M J. Mader, Ralph E. White Jan 1986

A Mathematical Model Of A Zn/Br2 Cell On Charge, M J. Mader, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model of a parallel plate electrochemical cell with a separator and a homogeneous bulk reaction is presented. The model is based on the Zn/Br2 redox couple and can be used as an aid for the design of an efficient rechargeable storage battery. It is shown that four independent variables exist for the system at a fixed temperature: the effective separator thickness, the residence time, the channel width, and the potential driving force. Performance criteria of interest for the Zn/Br2 battery are defined. Predictions of performance during the charging process are presented. It is shown that the …

Sequences In Power Residue Classes, Duncan A. Buell, Richard H. Hudson Jan 1986

Sequences In Power Residue Classes, Duncan A. Buell, Richard H. Hudson

Faculty Publications

Using A. Weil’s estimates the authors have given bounds for the largest prime P0 such that all primes P > P0 have sequences of quadratic residues of length m. For m ≤ 8 the smallest prime having m consecutive quadratic residues is ≡ 3(mod 4) and P0 ≡ 1 (mod 4). The reason for this phenomenon is investigated in this paper and the theory developed is used to successfully uncover analogous phenomena for rth power residues, r ≥ 2, r even.

Simple Models For Diaphragm-Type Chlorine/Caustic Cells Ii. Effect Of Acidic Anolyte On Steady-State Caustic Yield, John Van Zee, Ralph E. White Jan 1986

Simple Models For Diaphragm-Type Chlorine/Caustic Cells Ii. Effect Of Acidic Anolyte On Steady-State Caustic Yield, John Van Zee, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A simple steady-state model of a diaphragm-type chlorine/caustic cell in which the diaphragm is divided into two regions by a homogeneous acid-base reaction is presented. The location of the reaction affects significantly the caustic yield and effluent concentration. The model is used to predict the location of this reaction as a function of the operating variables, the physical constants, and three measurable properties of the diaphragm. These measurable properties are the MacMullin number or resistivity ratio of electrolyte-filled diaphragm relative to the electrolyte, the Darcy's law diaphragmpermeability, and the diaphragm thickness. The model is used to predict a maximum in …

Simple Models For Diaphragm-Type Chlorine/Caustic Cells I. Dynamic Behavior, John Van Zee, Ralph E. White, A T. Watson Jan 1986

Simple Models For Diaphragm-Type Chlorine/Caustic Cells I. Dynamic Behavior, John Van Zee, Ralph E. White, A T. Watson

Faculty Publications

A simple model of the dynamic behavior of a diaphragm-type chlorine/caustic cell is presented. The model is based upon measurable diaphragm properties and the mass transfer of hydroxyl ion through the diaphragm. The anolyte is modeled simply as a region in which the OH– ion concentration is fixed, the diaphragm is modeled as a plug-flow reactor with an electrochemical reaction occurring at the catholyte/diaphragm interface where the cathode is placed, and the catholyte is modeled as a completely stirred flow reactor. Analytical integration of the governing equations for thesemodels yields two mathematical expressions: one for the concentration distribution of …

A Mathematical Model For A Parallel Plate Electrochemical Reactor, Cstr, And Associated Recirculation System, T V. Nguyen, C W. Walton, Ralph E. White Jan 1986

A Mathematical Model For A Parallel Plate Electrochemical Reactor, Cstr, And Associated Recirculation System, T V. Nguyen, C W. Walton, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for a system comprised of a parallel plate electrochemical reactor (PPER) and a continuous, stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) under both total and partial recycle. The model is used to predict the time dependent behavior of the electrowinning of copper from an aqueous, hydrochloric acid solution. The model includes many important aspects of a PPER/CSTR system which have been neglected previously. These aspects are the kinetics of electrode reactions, the electroneutrality condition, three mass transfer processes for ionic species in the electrolyte (diffusion, ionic migration, and convection) and the electrode gap in the PPER, and the inclusion …
