Bmw Of North America V. Gore: A Misplaced Guide For Punitive Damage Awards, Michelle J. Carey

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This casenote examines the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in BMW v. Gore, in which the Court struck down a jury award of punitive damages as being unreasonably large in violation of substantive due process. This Note traces the history of challenges to punitive damage awards through Supreme Court cases, including BMW v. Gore. It then analyzes BMW v. Gore, particularly the Court's misguided attempt at providing a guide for punitive damage awards and the dismal implications from the Court's actions. It concludes that the better approach for the Court to have taken would have been to focus on procedural due …

School-To-Work And Service-Learning, Madeleine S. Hengel, Robert D. Shumer

Bibliographies

This document has been prepared as a brief review of resources and readings on Service-Learning and School-to-Work. The series, "Links, Connecting Theory With Practice," is being developed to give practitioners and researchers who contact the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse (NSLC) a point of reference in beginning to look at topics and current issues in service-learning.

Service-Learning (SL) and School-to-Work (STW) both extend learning beyond the classroom into real world contexts where broader problem-solving and decision-making skills are addressed. While service-learning provides opportunities for students to participate in learning activities within their community that utilize their academic and vocational competencies, School-to-Work helps …

Non-Visualization Of Lung Markings Below Hemidiaphragm In Subtle Subpulmonic Effusion: An Old Sign Resuscitated, Y A. Husen, T R. Khalid, Z A. Khan, M Y. Sheikh

Department of Radiology

To assess the lack of visibility of vascular markings under the hemidiaphragm on a frontal chest radiograph as a sign of pleural effusion, fifteen patients were collected showing this sign. Pleural effusion was diagnosed by ultrasound, comparison with previous or subsequent chest x-ray or computed tomography. Patients in the study group exhibited this sign in the absence of the classical signs of pleural effusion. In the control group, lack of visibility of blood vessels was observed in only 4.2% cases. Non-visualization of vascular markings below the hemidiaphragm should alert the interpreter to the possible presence of pleural effusion and a …

Modulation Of The Rat Potassium Channel Kv1.5, Daniel Benjamin Saal

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

1. Kv1.5 is a delayed rectifier-type potassium channel. We have examined the localization of the channel protein using a polyclonal antibody against Kv1.5. This channel is expressed in numerous regions of the brain, primarily in glial cells. Its expression is particularly intense in the endfoot processes which abut the microvasculature of the brain. It is also expressed in the cell bodies and cellular processes in the pituitary.2. Immunoprecipitation of the Kv1.5 protein, from HEK 293 cells which were transformed with the Kv1.5 gene, revealed that the channel is phosphorylated and that treatment of cells with dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dibcAMP) or …

Effects Of Juvenile Hormone Treatment On Phase Changes And Pheromone Production The Desert Locust, Schistocerca Gregaria (Forskal) (Orthoptera: Acrididae), Amer I. Tawfik, Ellie O. Osir, Ahmed Hassanali, Sayed H. Ismail

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

The roles of juvenile hormone III (JH III) on phase changes and pheromone production were examined in laboratory-reared gregarious desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal). The hormone was applied to 5th instar nymphs and newly emerged adult locusts. Generally, the 5th instar nymphs exhibited a higher sensitivity to hormone treatments than the adults. Hormone applications inhibited pheromone production (as measured by the amounts of phenylacetonitrile released). In addition, JH III had a significant effect on the external colouration and absorbance ratios of the haemolymph pigments. It is concluded that the effects of exogenous JH III on gregarious locusts represent a shift …

The Availability Of Inferences In Children And Young Adults, Gerilyn A. Katz

Student Work

Much of the research on age-related differences in the ability to inhibit irrelevant information in a given task has been on the study of younger and older adults. Only a minimal amount of research has focused on the developmental differences in children and young adults. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to examine whether age-related differences exist between children and young adults in processes consistent with inhibition.

Third-, sixth-grade children, and college undergraduates listened to twenty-four garden path passages containing either expected or unexpected, but acceptable, conclusions. The twenty-four passages were divided into four subsets, with each subset containing …

Competitive Issues In The Deregulated United States Railroad Industry, Johannes Christian Koeppe

Student Work

In 1980, the railroad industry was deregulated due to poor industry performance as well as an ideological shift. The newly developed contestable market theory provided the political justification for deregulating what was previously perceived as a natural monopoly. The theme of this study is the examination of whether contestable market conditions exist in the U.S. surface transportation industry which are sufficient to justify giving up direct governmental involvement in the railroad industry. The main generic market structures that play an important role in the regulatory discussion are introduced and implications for regulatory intervention in the case of railroads are drawn. …

Insect Resistant Rice, Maize And Wheat Cultivars In Sustainable Agriculture, E. A. Heinrichs, J. E. Foster

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The achievement of self sufficiency in food production is a major objective of governments throughout the world. Insects are one of the major constraints that limit the production of food crops. To mitigate losses due to insects. insect resistant cultivars are sought as a major tactic in the development of integrated pest management strategies. The integration of insect resistant cultivars with other pest management tactics contributes to crop pest management strategies that are environmentally and economically acceptable. Multiple pest resistant crop cultivars have high yield stability when grown in pest-infested environments. Significant progress on a global basis has been achieved …

The Association Of Hla-Drb Genes And The Shared Epitope With Rheumatoid Arthritis In Pakistan, K Hameed, S Bowman, E Kondeatis, R Vaughan, T Gibson

Section of Internal Medicine

The association of particular HLA-DR alleles and the shared epitope with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is now well established. The strength of these links varies between races. Furthermore, the proposition that the presence of the shared epitope is indicative of severe disease has been more difficult to sustain in non-Europeans. This study examines the frequency of HLA-DR and HLA-DRB1 amongst Pakistanis for the first time. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP) and primers (PCR-SSP), HLA-DR phenotype and genotype frequencies were ascertained in 86 RA hospital out-patients and 79 healthy controls matched for age, gender and ethnicity. …
