Decisions By And For People With Mental Retardation: Balancing Considerations Of Autonomy And Protection, James W. Ellis Jan 1992

Decisions By And For People With Mental Retardation: Balancing Considerations Of Autonomy And Protection, James W. Ellis

Faculty Scholarship

This Article will attempt to analyze some of the considerations that should inform enlightened and compassionate public policy in this area. Section I will describe briefly the definition of mental retardation and common attributes of people who have the disability and the social and political world in which they live within our society. Section II will sketch some of the contexts in which legal issues about decision-making arise in the lives of people with mental retardation. Section III will discuss the generic legal doctrines of consent which form the backdrop for legal analysis of these problems, with particular attention to …


Elementary Guidance Services In Urban And Rural Schools In Tidewater, Virginia, Berkley Edgerton Ashby Jan 1992

Elementary Guidance Services In Urban And Rural Schools In Tidewater, Virginia, Berkley Edgerton Ashby

Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Education

The purpose of this study was to assess the relative importance of the ten most significant components of an elementary guidance program. A second purpose was to identify differences in guidance services provided in selected urban and rural schools and also the perceived effectiveness and adequacy of the services as viewed by counselors and teachers. The study was conducted with elementary guidance counselors and elementary teachers in 48 urban and 48 rural schools in Tidewater, Virginia.

The National Study of School Evaluation instrument for secondary schools was modified for use in this study. A pilot study of the revised instrument …


A Genetic And Physiological Study Of The Role Of Extracellular Copper-Binding Proteins In Copper Detoxification By The Marine Bacterium Vibrio Alginolyticus, Valerie J. Harwood Jan 1992

A Genetic And Physiological Study Of The Role Of Extracellular Copper-Binding Proteins In Copper Detoxification By The Marine Bacterium Vibrio Alginolyticus, Valerie J. Harwood

Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences

Supernatant proteins in Vibrio alginolyticus batch cultures were analyzed by SDS-PAGE before copper was added, 24 and 48 hours after the addition of copper, and in 24 hour control (no Cu) cultures. Two proteins, one 21 kilodalton (kDa) and one 19 kDa, were found to be copper-induced, and were designated copper-binding protein 1 (CuBP1) and CuBP2. CuBP1 and CuBP2 became detectable in supernatants during the Cu-induced lag phase, and increased in concentration over the following 48 hours. Chloramphenicol inhibited production of these proteins. Gel-to-gel variability was implicated as the dominant factor determining whether one or two Cu-induced proteins were detected …


Explicit Multistage Schemes For The Solution Of The Three-Dimensional Compressible Euler/Navier-Stokes Equations, Alaa Ahmed Elmiligui Jan 1992

Explicit Multistage Schemes For The Solution Of The Three-Dimensional Compressible Euler/Navier-Stokes Equations, Alaa Ahmed Elmiligui

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The objective of this study was to develop a high-resolution-explicit-multi-block numerical algorithm, suitable for efficient computation of the three-dimensional, time-dependent Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The resulting algorithm has employed a finite volume approach, using MUSCL-type differencing to obtain state variables at cell interface. Variable interpolations were written in the $\kappa$-scheme formulation. Inviscid fluxes were calculated via Roe's flux-difference splitting, and van Leer's flux-vector splitting techniques, which are considered state of the art. The viscous terms were discretized using a second-order, central-difference operator.

Two classes of explicit time integration has been investigated for solving the compressible inviscid/viscous flow problems--two-stage predictor-corrector schemes, …

Modern Legal Times: Making A Professional Legal Culture, Michael S. Ariens Jan 1992

Modern Legal Times: Making A Professional Legal Culture, Michael S. Ariens

Faculty Articles

Lawyers’ belief in their professionalism was fostered by the creation and development of modern legal institutions. Law schools, bar associations, organizations like the American Law Institute, as well as the system of legal directories, the regional case reporter system, and continuing legal education groups all contributed greatly to the making of a distinctly professional culture of law in America. These institutions prospered in part because of their ideological fit with the professionalizing ethos embodied in Christopher Columbus Langdell’s statement that “law is a science.”

Legal institutions, then, must be evaluated through the ideological lens which encouraged and fostered the notion …


Why D’Oench, Duhme? An Economic, Legal, And Philosophical Critique Of A Failed Bank Policy, Richard E. Flint Jan 1992

Why D’Oench, Duhme? An Economic, Legal, And Philosophical Critique Of A Failed Bank Policy, Richard E. Flint

Faculty Articles

In 1942, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in the case of D’Oench, Duhme, & Co. c. FDIC. This decision established an equitable estoppel under the umbrella of federal common law to protect the insurance fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) from secret agreements between borrowers and banks which misrepresented the value of a bank’s assets.

In the last fifty years, the D’Oench doctrine has been greatly expanded by the courts, and its purported legislative counterpart, 12 U.S.C. Section 1823(e) has enjoyed similar expansion. More recently, courts have even created a fiction by holding that the FDIC …


When “Special Needs” Meet Probable Cause: Denying The Devil Benefit Of Law, Gerald S. Reamey Jan 1992

When “Special Needs” Meet Probable Cause: Denying The Devil Benefit Of Law, Gerald S. Reamey

Faculty Articles

Removing laws to pursue the lawbreaker may be well intentioned, but the result is that society is susceptible to the evils those laws protect against. The traditional Fourth Amendment safeguards--probable cause and warrants--have been abandoned due to the development of a reasonableness standard because of the presence of “special needs” that were used to justify searches. The adoption of this alternative approach to Fourth Amendment interpretation was signalled by the truly landmark case of Terry v. Ohio.

By adopting the “reasonableness” analysis, the Supreme Court altered the impact of the exclusionary rule without directly modifying the rule. After Griffin v. …
