Public Life And Hostility To Religion, Frederick Mark Gedicks

Faculty Scholarship

Many who value the contributions of religion to American life have contended that American public life is hostile to religion. They perceive many of the Supreme Court's Religion Clause opinions as hostile to religion, and circulate anecdotes about the antireligious hostility of public life. Studies also suggest that some of the principle actors in American public life systematically marginalize religious viewpoints relative to secular ones. Nevertheless, others are baffled by the suggestion that public life discriminates against religion. These people note that religion is deeply (if controversially) involved in much of contemporary American politics, and dismiss anecdotes about such hostility …

Effect Of Magnetic And Density Fluctuations On The Propagation Of Lower Hybrid Waves In Tokamaks, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala, Paul T. Bonoli

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Lower hybrid waves have been used extensively for plasma heating, current drive, and ramp-up as well as sawteeth stabilization, The wave kinetic equation for lower hybrid wave propagation is extended to include the effects of both magnetic and density fluctuations. This integral equation is then solved by Monte Carlo procedures for a toroidal plasma. It is shown that even for magnetic/density fluctuation levels on the order of 10^-4, there are significant magnetic fluctuation effects on the wave power deposition into the plasma. This effect is quite pronounced if the magnetic fluctuation spectrum is peaked within the plasma. For …

Effect Of Fluctuations On Lower Hybrid Power Deposition And Hard X-Ray Detection, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala, Paul T. Bonoli

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The hard X-ray intensity radial profiles from lower hybrid current drive experiments are interpreted as being correlated with fluctuations in the bulk plasma. This view seems to be dictated by comparing the hard X-ray data for various n_║ with the Monte Carlo solutions of the lower hybrid wave energy deposition on plasma electrons. Information on internal magnetic fluctuations may, under certain conditions, be unfolded from a n_║ scan of the hard X-ray profiles.

Charge-State Equilibrium And Nonequilibrium Modeling Of The Carbon-Pellet Plasma Interaction, A. G. Elcashlan, G. A. Gerdin, L. L. Vahala, P. B. Parks

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Self-consistent equilibrium and nonequilibrium charge-state models are formulated for the spherical expansion of low-Z pellet vapor as an inviscid perfect gas of constant ratio of specific heats being heated volumetrically by the incident electrons of a thermonuclear plasma. The two models are found to be in agreement in the region where the ratio of the ionization length ζ_j to pellet radius r_p is less than unity, but a single parameter, such as the magnitude of this ratio on the sonic surface, is insufficient to determine whether an equilibrium model will be valid for all regions of the ablatant …

Développement D'Une Méthode D'Évaluation De La Résistance À La Perforation Des Gants De Protection, Jaime Lara

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les statistiques de la CSST démontrent que près de 30 % des lésions impliquant un arrêt de travail ont comme siège les membres supérieurs et plus particulièrement les mains. Ces lésions sont causées principalement par la manipulation des pièces métalliques et des outils. L'utilisation des gants de protection résistant à la coupure et à la perforation peuvent diminuer le nombre et la gravité de ces lésions.

Les utilisateurs des gants de protection doivent choisir le type de gant le mieux adapté au risque auquel ils sont exposés. Ce choix serait facilité par une classification des gants selon le niveau de …

Développement D'Une Méthode Gravimétrique Pour Évaluer La Résistance Des Vêtements De Protection Aux Produits Chimiques Volatils, Jaime Lara, Julie De Merchant

Rapports de recherche scientifique

La manipulation de produits chimiques peut entraîner des contacts dont il faut se protéger. Le contact direct d'un produit chimique (ou un mélange de produits) avec la peau peut provoquer des effets variés tels que brûlures, irritations, dermatoses ou intoxications. Le produit peut également pénétrer à travers la peau sans effet apparent, et être transporté par le sang aux divers organes. Pour protéger la peau d'un éventuel contact avec des produits chimiques, l'utilisation des vêtements de protection est souvent nécessaire.

Les vêtements de protection sont en général faits à base de polymères naturels ou synthétiques purs ou bien en mélanges. …

Décontamination Microbienne Des Systèmes De Ventilation, Jacques Lavoie, Paul Comtois

Rapports de recherche scientifique

L'American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommande, dans le but de contrôler les concentrations anormalement élevées de bioaérosols, d'éliminer dans les systèmes de ventilation les sources d'eau stagnante, de supprimer les substrats et les foyers de croissance microbienne et d'avoir un programme d'entretien efficace. Évidemment, il existe plusieurs procédés de nettoyage pour supprimer les substrats et les foyers de croissance. Le nettoyage des conduits et des surfaces contaminées avec des aspirateurs munis de filtres à haute efficacité (HEPA), la désinfection chimique aux hypochlorites et le nettoyage des unités des systèmes à la vapeur n'en sont que quelques uns. Par …

Étude Des Risques D'Accident Dans La Collecte Des Ordures Ménagères, Madeleine Bourdouxhe, Serge Guertin, Esther Cloutier

Rapports de recherche scientifique

À quels risques les éboueurs et les chauffeurs de camions tasseurs peuvent-ils être confrontés? Comme dans tout travail qui exige à la fois une forte dépense physique et beaucoup de vigilance, le métier d'éboueur peut être dangereux. Si l'on considère en effet que le camion tasseur s'apparente à une presse hydraulique, collecter les déchets c'est en quelque sorte travailler sur une presse, mais dans des conditions différentes de celles d'une usine. La machine se déplace au milieu de la circulation, par tous les temps. Le travailleur la suit au pas de course pour l'alimenter, en lançant à bout de bras …

Interprétation Des Enquêtes De Santé, Michèle Gervais

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Cette étude porte sur la méthode de collecte selon laquelle un seul répondant fournit des informations sur la santé des personnes avec lesquelles il forme ménage. Elle montre l'existence d'une morbidité plus importante pour les personnes interviewées directement, qui se révèlent systématiquement plus malades que les personnes au nom de qui elles répondent, indépendamment de leur sexe, de leur statut d'activité ou de leur catégorie professionnelle.

Compte tenu de la très forte participation des femmes aux interviews dans les enquêtes auprès des ménages, la surmorbidité des femmes, observée dans plusieurs enquêtes de santé, pourrait s'expliquer partiellement par cet effet.

Les …

Rapports de recherche scientifique

À quels risques les éboueurs et les chauffeurs de camions tasseurs peuvent-ils être confrontés? Comme dans tout travail qui exige à la fois une forte dépense physique et beaucoup de vigilance, le métier d'éboueur peut être dangereux. Collecter les déchets c'est travailler sur une machine dangereuse qui se déplace au milieu de la circulation, par tous les temps. Par ailleurs, l'efficacité des opérations repose sur des facteurs de vitesse et de rythme. En conséquence, les accidents sont fréquents; leur nature varie selon les métiers (chauffeur, éboueur, chauffeur-éboueur de camion à chargement latéral) et selon les types de camions utilisés.

Development And Standardization Of A Short-Term Assay For Evaluating Polluted Estuarine And Coastal Environments: The Medaka Embryo-Larval Assay, Michael Frederick Helmstetter

OES Theses and Dissertations

The eggs of the Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) were employed in a number of studies to develop a routine, standardized assay which can assess the acute and sublethal impacts of individual toxicants and complex mixtures. The eggs of this Cyprinodont minnow were topically treated with each toxicant or mixture dissolved in membrane permeable dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solvent. Nine chemicals were initially evaluated with two, pentachlorophenol (PCP) and tributyltin chloride (TBTCl), subsequently selected for extensive evaluations of salinity tolerance and the accuracy of the topical exposure method for representing a typical immersion exposure. The amount of material actually penetrating the eggs was …

Issue Of Personal Choice: The Competent Incurable Patient And The Right To Commit Suicide, The, Rebecca C. Morgan, Thomas C. Marks Jr., Barbara Harty-Golder

Missouri Law Review

Medicine has made many advances in prolonging life artificially. As a result, people who in the past would have been sent home to die, can have life prolonged for months and years by artificial medical technology. These people are in limbo, alive, but not having life. American society has great reverence for life including, apparently, the kind of life that may be given through artificial life-prolonging procedures. Consequently, the quality of a patient's life, many times is eclipsed by the medical profession's ability to sustain that patient's physical existence through artificial medical procedures. This Article hypothesizes that an incurably-ill competent …
