Moore, Opal, Daryl Cumber Dance Jan 1997

Moore, Opal, Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

Moore, Opal (b. 1953), poet, short story writer, essayist, educator, and critic of children's literature. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Opal Moore was influenced from childhood by the particular dynamics of the Pentecostal church; echoes of that institution reverberate in her plots, themes, characters, tone, and language. When Moore entered Illinois Wesleyan University's School of Art in 1970, she was so shocked by her first real encounter with racism and her sens~ of powerlessness in the face of it that she sought some control over what was happening to her by writing, thus initiating her first journals. She also …

Creating Complex Monsters: Joint Operating Agreements And The Logical Invalidity Of Treasury Regulation 1.502-1(B), Darryll K. Jones Jan 1997

Creating Complex Monsters: Joint Operating Agreements And The Logical Invalidity Of Treasury Regulation 1.502-1(B), Darryll K. Jones

Journal Publications

This article questions the validity of Regulations section 1.502-1(b) and its resulting insistence upon virtual mergers. It argues that the regulation is invalid as having no basis in section 502, the statute under which it was codified. This article argues, instead, that the regulation is a logically incorrect amalgamation of two distinct judicial tax doctrines by which tax exemption may be or could have been gained vicariously: (1) the integral part doctrine which allows one organization to achieve tax exemption on the basis of another organization's charitable activities, and (2) the now-discarded destination of income doctrine under which tax exemption …

Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Neurons Are Glucose Sensitive, Adam C. Hall, Roselle M. Hoffmaster, Edra L. Stern, Mary E. Harrington, David Bickar Jan 1997

Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Neurons Are Glucose Sensitive, Adam C. Hall, Roselle M. Hoffmaster, Edra L. Stern, Mary E. Harrington, David Bickar

Chemistry: Faculty Publications

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus serves as the pacemaker for mammalian circadian rhythms. In a hamster brain slice preparation, the authors were able to record spontaneous activity from SCN cells for up to 4 days in vitro and verify a self-sustained rhythm in firing. The phase of this rhythm was altered by the concentration of glucose in the bathing medium, with time of peak firing advanced for a 20 mM glucose condition and slightly delayed for a 5 mM glucose condition, relative to 10 mM. The advancing effect of 20 mM glucose and the delaying effect of 5 …

All Master's Theses

Land management conflicts created by these diverse interests are reviewed in the context of the history of the study area, the legal framework that directs its management, and the management process as it actually works. It concludes with recommendations to resolve land use …

Simulating The Distribution Of Axon Size In Nerves, Robert B. Szlavik, Hubert De Bruin Jan 1997

Simulating The Distribution Of Axon Size In Nerves, Robert B. Szlavik, Hubert De Bruin

Biomedical Engineering

The electrical excitation threshold of a nerve axon is dependent upon the physical properties of the axon membrane as well as the axon diameter. Histological studies have confirmed that peripheral afferent muscle nerves have a characteristic distribution of axon diameters. We approximate a probability density function for this distribution that consists of the summation of several Gaussian functions. A transformation technique is then applied for the random generation of the nerve axon diameters from uniformly distributed random numbers. For the example presented, the resultant distribution of peripheral afferent muscle nerve axon diameters conforms approximately to the characteristic distribution that has …

Protecting Baywatch And Wagamama: Why The European Union Should Revise The 1989 Trademark Directive To Mandate Dilution Protection For Trademarks, William T. Vuk

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that the European Union must harmonize the protection afforded trademarks against dilution, and that the European Union should adopt legislation similar to the U.S. Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995. Part I discusses pertinent aspects of US and EU trademark law. Part I also describes the dilution doctrine and reviews the US and EU approaches to dilution. Part II presents the debate on whether to provide trademarks protection from dilution. Part III argues that the European Union should adopt a dilution statute similar to the Lanham Act's dilution provision because dilution protection is necessary to fully protect …

Federalism: Essential Concepts In Evolution - The Case Of The European Union, Koen Lenaerts Jan 1997

Federalism: Essential Concepts In Evolution - The Case Of The European Union, Koen Lenaerts

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article aims to examine the instrumental aspects of the European Union structure in order to elucidate the degree of federalism that it contains. The analysis considers: the status of the central authority; the constitutional embedding of the division of powers between the central authority and the component entities; the existence of mechanisms to preserve the identity of the component entities; the foundation of the constitutional order on the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law; and the enforceability of the constitution.
