A Biosurfactant Of Bacterial Origin And Its Characterization, Mohammed I. Al-Hazmi

Open Access Dissertations

A microorganism capable of synthesizing biosurfactant from cheap and renewable water-soluble substrate such as carbohydrate was isolated' from the environment in our laboratory. It was selected from other isolates by screening for its ability to reduce the tensiometric properties of the culture broth. The isolated organism (JIZAN-1) produced significant extracellular surfactant activity during growth in batch culture on modified mineral salts medium (MMSM) containing 0.2% glucose as a carbon source and 0.02% yeast extract as a growth cofactor. This was demonstrated by lowering of the whole broth surface tension to less than 27.0 dynes/cm and the interfacial tension to less …

An Investigation Of Peroxide, Iron And Iron Bioavailability In Irradiated Marine Waters, William L. Miller

Open Access Dissertations

An investigation was completed which contributes to the understanding of chemical dynamics in the marine photic zone. The research was directed toward a description of natural photochemical processes which influence hydrogen peroxide (HOOH) distributions, the oxidation-reduction chemistry of iron in surface seawater, and the availability of iron to phytoplankton.

An enzyme catalyzed fluorometric method based on the dimerization of phydroxyphenylacetic acid (POHP AA) was developed for analysis of HOOH in seawater. Preconcentration of the fluorescent product provided a limit of detection for HOOH of 0.2 nanomolar (nM). Observed changes in reaction stoichiometry were described with a kinetic competition model involving …

The Evolution Of The Limitation Clause, Janet Hiebert

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The evolution of the limitation clause reveals a rigorous and changing political discourse about the nature of rights and limitations. While the larger issue in the entrenchment debate focussed on whether legislatures or courts were best suited to protect Canadians' interests, a fundamental concern underlying the debate was the scope of permissible limitations on protected rights. Many commentators argued that an explicit limitation clause was not necessary because courts would fashion the appropriate limits on rights. Provincial and federal drafters, however, rejected the assumption implicit in this suggestion: that the Charter was to provide an exhaustive statement of all values …

Clinical Realism: Simulated Hearings Based On Actual Events In Students' Lives, Samuel R. Gross

Articles

This essay describes a novel clinical format, a simulation course that is based on students' testimony about actual events in their own lives. The two main purposes of the course, however, are not novel. First, I aim to teach the students to be effective trial lawyers by instructing them in the techniques of direct examination and cross-examination and by making them sensitive to the roles of the other courtroom players: the witness, the judge, and the jury. Second, I hope to encourage the students to think about the social and ethical consequences of our method of trying lawsuits.

Afterword To Chicago-Kent Law Review, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

A unifying theme of this Symposium is as old and enduring as the common law: when and how can a well-established, successful adjudicative institution be adapted to meet the demands of new and substantially different situations? There have been splendid triumphs of transference, such as Lord Mansfield's appropriation of the law merchant in the eighteenth century as a major building block of modem commercial law. There have also been embarrassing failures, like the abortive effort to transport American labor law concepts en masse into the alien British environment of the early 1970s. The common question confronting the participants in this …

Risk And Design, James E. Krier

Articles

Risk springs from uncertainty,' uncertainty invites error, and, since error can be costly, we would prefer to avoid it (provided, of course, that avoidance is not more costly yet). While there is much in the Noll and Krier article2 about judgmental error under conditions of risk and uncertainty, there is little about ways to avoid it. So avoidance-more accurately, minimization-of error costs is the topic I want to address very briefly and partially here.

Reasons, Authority, And The Meaning Of 'Obey': Further Thoughts On Raz And Obedience To Law, Donald H. Regan

Articles

I recently published a long article' discussing a variety of topics from Joseph Raz's The Morality of Freedom.2 The article was part of a symposium on Raz's work in the Southern California Law Review. Raz responded' to the articles in that symposium, including my own. From a perspective which surveys the whole range of views on political philosophy, Raz's view and mine look very similar. Even so, we find many things to disagree about, which neither of us would regard as merely matters of detail. For the most part, we at least share a common understanding of our disagreements. But …

Gender And Race Bias Against Lawyers: A Classroom Response, Suellyn Scarnecchia

Articles

In reviewing other clinicians' approaches to teaching about bias, I identified problems that eventually led me to design a two-hour class session on bias against lawyers. The following is a review of a few other teaching methods and a description of my own approach, detailing its own strengths and weaknesses. This is not an exhaustive review of all possible approaches to bias. It is offered to promote classroom discussion of bias against lawyers and to invite the development of innovative alternatives to my approach.

James K. Robinson—56th President Of The State Bar Of Michigan, John W. Reed

The Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities: The Rationale Of The 90-Year Waiting Period, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

The Uniform Law Commissioners promulgated the Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities in 1986. The perpetuity-reform efforts of the American Law Institute in the Restatement (Second) inspired the Uniform Act. The Restatement and the Uniform Act employ the so-called wait-and-see approach to perpetuity reform. Wait-and-see is a two-step strategy. Step One preserves the validating side of the common-law Rule Against Perpetuities (the common-law Rule): By satisfying the common-law Rule, a nonvested future interest in property is valid at the moment of its creation. Step Two is a salvage strategy for future interests that would have been invalid at common law: Rather …

The Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities: Oregon Joins Up, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

Uniform perpetuity reform is on the march, and Oregon has joined the parade. On January 1, 1990, the Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities (Uniform Act) became effective in Oregon. Although promulgated only three years ago, the Uniform Act has been enacted in over twenty percent of the states and appears to be on its way toward enactment in several others. Prior to the adoption of the Uniform Act, Oregon followed the common-law Rule Against Perpetuities (common-law Rule). Noted for its unjust consequences, the common-law Rule disregards actual events and invalidates a contingent (nonvested) future interest merely on the grounds of …

The Public Domain, Jessica D. Litman

Articles

This article examines the public domain by looking at the gulf between what authors really do and the way the law perceives them. Part I outlines the basics of copyright as a species of property and introduces the public domain's place within the copyright scheme. Copyright grants authors" ' rights modeled on real property in order to encourage authorship by providing authors with markets in which they can seek compensation for their creations. Because parcels of authorship are intangible, however, the law faces *problems in determining the ownership and boundaries of its property grants. In particular, the concept of "originality," …

Remembering The 'Old World' Of Criminal Procedure: A Reply To Professor Grano, Yale Kamisar

Articles

When I graduated from high school in 1961, the "old world" of criminal procedure still existed, albeit in its waning days; when I graduated from law school in 1968, circa the time most of today's first-year law students were arriving on the scene, the "new world" had fully dislodged the old. Indeed, the force of the new world's revolutionary impetus already had crested. Some of the change that the criminal procedure revolution effected was for the better, but much of it, at least as some of us see it, was decidedly for the worse. My students, however, cannot make the …

Gideon V. Wainwright A Quarter-Century Later, Yale Kamisar

Articles

In a brief working paper sent to all conference participants, Professor Burt Neuborne suggested that we might consider several themes, among them "Gideon Celebrated," "Gideon Fulfilled," and "Gideon Betrayed." I think these are useful headings.

Copyright Law And The Myth Of Objectivity: The Idea-Expression Dichotomy And The Inevitability Of Artistic Value Judgments, Amy B. Cohen

Faculty Scholarship

ThIs Article focuses on the problem of how artistic values affect determinatlons of copyright management. It discusses how the copyright statutes embody a congressional desire to have determinations of eligibility for copyright made without regard for the artistic value of the work at issue. This Article also explores the dangers that Justice Holmes and those who have followed hIs lead saw in using assessments of artIstic value to make copyright decIsIons. It also discusses how assessments of artistic value influence copyright infrIngement determInations, specifically through the application of the idea-expression dichotomy, a principle used to determine whether the copyright in …

Integrating Field Grid Sense System With Direct Injection Technology, D.G. Ollila, J.A. Schumacher, Donell P. Froehlich

Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Publications

Field Grid Sense is a system designed to control and record crop chemical inputs via laptop computer interfaced with a direct injection module mounted on a field sprayer. Using the system one can apply a specific chemical rate to a specific location based on predetermined rates entered by the operator. The FGS system will monitor, control and record rates applied in a field. Data can be used to fine tune future inputs, develop a management history and provide evidence of chemical application. Other adaptations of the system may include liquid fertilizer applicators, seed planters, crop yield maps and/or any field …

Life Experience And Teen Fatherhood In Great Britain, Kirk Allen Dearden

All ETDs from UAB

The present investigation uses the 1958 National Child Development Study of Great Britain to examine the antecedents of teen fatherhood. Teen fathers are compared to non-teen fathers (those who fathered a child between 20 and 23) and non-fathers (no child by 23), matched and unmatched to teen fathers for social class. Contrary to hypotheses regarding family background, teen fathers (boys who became fathers while in their teens) were no more likely than those who did not father children before their 23rd birthday to come from homes marked by parental separation, divorce, and death. With respect to personal behaviors, teen fathers …

The Influence Of Litigation Costs On Deterrence Under Strict Liability And Under Negligence, Keith N. Hylton

Faculty Scholarship

This paper examines the influence of litigation costs on deterrence under strict liability and under negligence. By deterrence, I refer to the effect of the threat of liability on the care exercised by potential injurers. More precisely, this paper takes litigation costs as given and examines the social desirability of the levels of care exercised under negligence and under strict liability.

Costly Litigation And Legal Error Under Negligence, Keith N. Hylton

Faculty Scholarship

In this article, private enforcement under negligence when there is legal error and litigation is costly is examined. Ordover (1978) demonstrated that in a negligence regime in which there is no legal error and litigation is costly, equilibrium requires the presence of actors who refuse to obey the due-care standard. Accordingly, in such a negligence regime, an undercompliance equilibrium must result. Since the existence of litigation costs implies that the socially optimal level of care is greater than that required by the traditional Hand formula, which defines negligence as a failure to take care where the cost of taking care …
