The Limited Liability Company: A Catalyst Exposing The Corporate Integration Question, Susan Pace Hamill

Michigan Law Review

The rise of the domestic limited liability company (LLC) from obscurity to its present position as a viable, mainstream alternative to the corporation or partnership was met with enormous enthusiasm by the business community and the practicing bar. First introduced by the State of Wyoming in 1977 and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a partnership for federal income tax purposes in 1988, the LLC offers for the first time a domestic entity that combines the tax advantages of a partnership with limited liability protection for all members, an advantage commonly associated with corporations. The advantages of the …

Determining Ripeness Of Substantive Due Process Claims Brought By Landowners Against Local Governments, David S. Mendel

Michigan Law Review

Landowners who sustain economic harm from arbitrary and capricious applications of land use regulations may sue the local government entities responsible for applying those regulations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the local government entities deprived them of substantive due process in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. A landowner who brings this claim - an "as-applied arbitrary and capricious substantive due process" claim - may in appropriate cases seek declaratory and injunctive relief, damages, and attorney's fees. Despite controversy among courts and commentators over both the definition of property interests protected by the Due Process Clause and the standard …

The First Amendment Comes Of Age: The Emergence Of Free Speech In Twentieth-Century America, G. Edward White

Michigan Law Review

As the number of issues perceived as having First Amendment implications continues to grow, and the coterie of potential beneficiaries of First Amendment protection continues to widen - including not only the traditional oppressed mavericks and despised dissenters but some rich and powerful members from the circles of political and economic orthodoxy - alarms have been sounded. Another period of stocktaking for free speech theory appears to be dawning, and some recent commentators have proposed a retrenchment from the long twentieth- century progression of increasingly speech-protective interpretations of the First Amendment. At the heart of the retrenchment literature lies the …

The Wooster Voice (Wooster, Oh), 1996-11-01, Wooster Voice Editors

The Voice: 1991-2000

This edition of the Wooster Voice, published on November 1 of 1996, is sixteen pages long. The first page heads with an article regarding the thirty students who protested about the Waste Technologies Institute incinerator in front of the Ohio statehouse on October 26. On Monday, four professors analyzed the new welfare reform plan. Stevenson Hall voted against the extension of non-residential access hours. Two Guerrilla Girls spoke at the chapel on Tuesday about "The Conscience of The Artworld." Nicole Dodds has resigned as the Index's editor-in-chief due to the lack of interest from the study body. Page twelve gives …

High Quality Alias Free Image Rotation, Charles B. Owen, Fillia Makedon

Dartmouth Scholarship

This paper presents new algorithms for the rotation of images. The primary design criteria for these algorithms is very high quality. Common methods for image rotation, including convolutional and separable approaches, are examined and shown to exhibit significant high frequency aliasing problems. A new resampling filter design methodology is presented which minimizes the problem for conventional convolution-based image rotation. The paper also presents a new separable image rotation algorithm which exhibits improved performance in term of reduction in artifacts and an efficient $O(N^{2} log N)$ running time.

The Power Of Trust In Manufacturer-Retailer Relationships, Nirmalya Kumar

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Manufacturers and retailers traditionally have seen each other as adversaries, but the benefits generated by trusting relationships between such old foes as Procter & Gamble Company and Wal-Mart Stores show that fear and intimidation may not be the most effective way for manufacturers and retailers to deal with each other after all. Studies of manufacturer-retailer relationships in a variety of industries reveal that exploiting power has three major drawbacks. it can come back to haunt a company if the balance of power changes; victims will ultimately seek ways to resist such exploitation; and working as partners allows retailers and manufacturers …

Shape Reconstruction By A Binocular Fixating System, Moses Chan, Zygmunt Pizlo, David Chelberg

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this paper, we present an algorithm which is a possible model of the human biriocular shape reconstruction. In this new model, the shape of an object can be re(-onstructed from two perspective views with as few as three points, without explicitly estimating the object's pose. Simulation experiments show that the algorithm provides reliable results in the presence of noise. The psychological plausibility of this algorithm has been tested in a psychophysical experiment on shape constancy. Results of this experiment contradict prior models of human shape perception and are consistent with some (but not all) properties of our new alg~rit~hm.

Adaptive Multiresolution Image And Video Compression And Pre/Post-Processing Of Image And Video Streams , Hamid R. Rabiee, R. L. Kashyap

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This report is divided into two sections. In the first section, the focus is on adaptive transform-based image compression and motion compensation at low bit rates. A new adalptive algorithm for image representation and coding is introduced. This algorithm is based on the concept of segmented orthogonal matching pursuits (SOMP), and adaptively selects the best representation from an overcomplete dictionary of wavelet functions. In the second section, the pre-processing and post-processing of images and video streams are focused on. A new robust nonlinear filter based on the theory of generalized maximum likelihood and order statistics (GMLOS) is introduced. It is …

Parameter Estimation And Modeling Of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon, Ji Cheol Kim, Richard J. Schwartz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The use of hydrogenated amorphous silicon material(a-Si:H) in devices such as solar cells, active thin film transistor liquid crystal display panels, various sensors, etc. requires an accurate model of the material characteristics and their dependence on light intensity and light soaking over a broad temperature range. Through the use of nonlinear parameter estimation techniques, a gap state model and recombination parameters have been developed from temperature dependent photoconductivity data. These data include the effects of light intensity variation and light soaking. This model provides better agreement between the model and experimental results on a-Si:H than conventional models especially in lower …
