Back To The Past: Anti- Pragmatism In American Conflicts Law, Patrick J. Borchers

Mercer Law Review

I am grateful to the editors of the Mercer Law Reuiew for the opportunity to comment upon the symposium honoring Brainerd Currie. As one would expect given the fine panel assembled, the discussions were lively, well-informed, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. And, of course, it is well to honor Currie, who was perhaps the father-at the very least the midwife-of the conflicts revolution.

There is no denying that Currie's "interest" vocabulary helped American courts escape the grip of the place-of-the-injury rule in tort conflict cases. His tripartite division between true conflicts, false conflicts, and unprovided-for cases is orthodoxy to most American conflicts …

Synoptic-Scale Features Common To Heavy Snowstorms In The Southeast United States, M.L. Bentley, Thomas L. Mote, Douglas W. Gamble, S. Jeffrey Underwood

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

Eighteen heavy snowstorms in the Southeast are examined to determine the synoptic-scale features common to these storms. Storm-relative composites in the temporal domain are created by assigning a "zero hour" to each storm based on the time of the initial snowfall at Asheville, North Carolina. The composites indicate the importance of warm air advection (isentropic upglide) in producing upward motion within these storms. Of secondary importance in producing upward motion are the right entrance region of an upper-level jet streak, diabatic processes,and cyclogenetic lift. The composites also indicate that moisture is drawn off the Gulf of Mexico to feed these …

Hong Kong As A Financial Centre Of Greater China, Y. C. Jao

CAPS Working Paper Series

During the past three decades, Hong Kong has emerged as one of the leading international financial centres (IFCs) of the world. Since China began its economic reform and open-door policies in 1979, and since cross-strait economic contacts began to improve in the mid-1980s, Hong Kong's role has also become more varied and multi-faceted. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate Hong Kong as an IFC of Greater China (which comprises Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau). The territory's prospects as an IFC after its retrocession to China on July 1, 1997 will also be discussed.

Post-Depositional Weathering Of Cave Sediments In Berry Cave, Pulaski County, Missouri, Melissa L. Milner

Student Work

Berry Cave is a vadose system, and is classified as a branchwork cave with superposed anastomotic mazes. The cave is situated in the non-glaciated karst region of Roubidoux Creek in Pulaski County, south-central Missouri. Two types of sediment deposits have been identified in the cave: an allogenic fine clay fill preserved in a stream cut canyon and an autogenic/allogenic loam comprising a debris flow. The surface soil above the cave is silt loam, and is the source for the sediments o f the debris flow in Berry Cave. Three episodes o f geomorphic development have been determined to be related …

Making Sense Of The Asian Success Story: An Integrative Framework, Chow Hou Wee, Gilbert Tan

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

The article focuses on Asian countries that have experienced economic growth over the past 50 years including Hong Kong, China; Japan; Singapore; South Korea and Taiwan. With the exception of Hong Kong, the economic success of the Asian countries has been attributed to the interventionist framework. Export-orientation is one strategy that is most associated with the success of the five Asian countries. The export-oriented strategy helped the five Asian countries in many ways. The ensuring growth of employment enabled the country to save and accumulate capital for reinvestment. The export-oriented strategy also positively affects the competitive advantages of the country. …

Public Housing In Singapore: Interpreting 'Quality' In The 1990s, Siew Eng Teo, Lily Kong

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

While writings exist on various aspects of public housing in Singapore, recent developments in the 1990s have not yet been given any serious academic attention, Our intention in this paper is to focus on such developments, paying particular attention to the government's policy of providing quality housing, After setting the context of efforts at providing quality in the first three decades of public housing by the Housing and Development Board, we turn our attention specifically to the 1990s, focusing on three areas in which attempts are being made to improve quality, namely, the physical upgrading of older estates, the privatisation …

The Construction Of National Identity Through The Production Of Ritual And Spectacle: An Analysis Of National Day Parades In Singapore, Lily Kong, Brenda S. A. Yeoh

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

In this paper, we adopt the view that 'nation' and 'national identity' are social constructions, created to serve ideological ends. We discuss this in the specific empirical context of Singapore's National Day parades. By drawing on officially produced souvenir programmes and magazines, newspaper reports, and interviews with participants and spectators, we analyse the parades between 1965 and 1994, showing how, as an annual ritual and landscape spectacle, the parades succeed to a large extent in creating a sense of awe, wonderment and admiration. Discussion focuses on four aspects of the celebrations: the site of the parades, their display and theatricality, …
