Public Policy Exception: A Narrow Exception To Judicial Review Or An Independent Means Of Avoiding Arbitration Agreements - Exxon Corp. V. Baton Rouge Oil And Chemical Workers Union, The, Elizabeth Tenorio Jan 1997

Public Policy Exception: A Narrow Exception To Judicial Review Or An Independent Means Of Avoiding Arbitration Agreements - Exxon Corp. V. Baton Rouge Oil And Chemical Workers Union, The, Elizabeth Tenorio

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The Federal Arbitration Act advances a strong desire to encourage parties in labor management disputes to utilize arbitration in lieu of litigation.' For this reason, judicial review of an arbitrator's award is construed narrowly by three specific provisions? In recent years, a public policy exception to this strict standard of review has developed,4 and its use has exploded. This Note discusses the impact of this public policy exception on both arbitration and judicial forums. In addition, this Note highlights the potential for abuse when the exception is not limited and applied with care.

Electrowinning Of Nonnoble Metals With Simultaneous Hydrogen Evolution At Flow-Through Porous Electrodes Iii. Time Effects, Mahmoud M. Saleh, John W Weidner, Bahgat E. El-Anadouli, Badr G. Ateya Jan 1997

Electrowinning Of Nonnoble Metals With Simultaneous Hydrogen Evolution At Flow-Through Porous Electrodes Iii. Time Effects, Mahmoud M. Saleh, John W Weidner, Bahgat E. El-Anadouli, Badr G. Ateya

Faculty Publications

The electrowinning of zinc from a recirculating alkaline zincate solution at a flow-through porous electrode was investigated. Experimental results were obtained to test the predictions of a mathematical model. The effects of electrolyte flow rate, cell current, and electrode thickness on the concentration-time relations and coulombic efficiency-time relations were studied. The experimental results show that the highest recovery rate was obtained at both high flow rates and cell currents. There is, however, a practical limit for increasing both the cell current and the electrolyte flow rate. Reasonable agreement between the model predictions and experimental results was obtained. A case study …

An Electrochemical Route For Making Porous Nickel Oxide Electrochemical Capacitors, Venkat Srinivasan, John W. Weidner Jan 1997

An Electrochemical Route For Making Porous Nickel Oxide Electrochemical Capacitors, Venkat Srinivasan, John W. Weidner

Faculty Publications

Porous nickel oxide films were prepared by electrochemically precipitating nickel hydroxide and heating the hydroxide in air at 300°C. The resulting nickel oxide films behave as an electrochemical capacitor with a specific capacitance of 59 F/g electrode material. These nickel oxide films maintain high utilization at high rates of discharge (i.e., high power density) and have excellent cycle life. Porous cobalt oxide films were also synthesized. Although the specific capacitances of these films are approximately one-fifth that of the nickel oxide films, the results demonstrate the versatility of fabricating a wide range of porous metal oxide films using …

Molecular-Level Modeling Of The Viscoelasticity Of Crosslinked Polymers: Effect Of Time And Temperature, Philip P. Simon, Harry J. Ploehn Jan 1997

Molecular-Level Modeling Of The Viscoelasticity Of Crosslinked Polymers: Effect Of Time And Temperature, Philip P. Simon, Harry J. Ploehn

Faculty Publications

We present a new molecular-level picture of chain dynamics for describing the viscoelasticity of crosslinked polymers. The associated mathematical model consists of a time-dependent momentum balance on a representative polymer segment in the crosslinked network, plus phenomenological expressions for forces acting on the segments. These include a cohesive force that accounts for intermolecular attraction, an entropic force describing the thermodynamics governing chain conformations, and a frictional force that captures the temperature dependence of relative chain motion. We treat the case of oscillatory uniaxial deformation. Solution of the model equations in the frequency domain yields the dynamic moduli as functions of …

Expression Of Follistatin And Inhibin/Activin Subunit Genes In Porcine Follicles, M.D. Li, L.V. Depaolo, J.J. Ford Jan 1997

Expression Of Follistatin And Inhibin/Activin Subunit Genes In Porcine Follicles, M.D. Li, L.V. Depaolo, J.J. Ford

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Expression of the follistatin (FS) and inhibin/activin (I/A) α, βA, and βB subunit genes in porcine ovarian follicles was evaluated by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and/or RNase protection procedures to establish changes during the final stages of follicular development. For the I/A α and βA subunits, expression increased (p < 0.05) as follicles progressed to the mid-stage of the follicular phase. The βB, subunit was expressed in lower concentrations, and all three I/A subunits showed a marked reduction (p < 0.01) in expression by the late stage of follicular development. In contrast to this pattern, FS gene expression decreased (p < 0.05) as follicles developed from the early (low estradiol) to the mid stage (high estradiol) and continued to decline in advanced follicles (after estrus). The predominant mRNA encoded for FS-315, and the ratio of mRNA for FS-315 to mRNA for FS-288 did not differ significantly during the three stages. Within an animal, concentration of FS mRNAs was related more to stage of the follicular phase than to follicular size. Follicular fluid concentration of FS changed in a manner similar to that observed for expression of its gene. We conclude that expression of the FS gene and translation of its mRNA decrease as follicles approach ovulatory status.

Yield Of Wheat Across A Subambient Carbon Dioxide Gradient, Herman S. Mayeux, Hyrum B. Johnson, H. Wayne Polley, Stephen R. Malone Jan 1997

Yield Of Wheat Across A Subambient Carbon Dioxide Gradient, Herman S. Mayeux, Hyrum B. Johnson, H. Wayne Polley, Stephen R. Malone

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Yields and yield components of two cultivars of day-neutral spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were assessed along a gradient of daytime carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations from about 200 to near 350 µmol CO2 (mol air)–1 in a 38 m-long controlled environment chamber. The range in CO2 concentration studied approximates that of Earth’s atmosphere since the last ice age. This 75% rise in CO2 concentration increased grain yields more than 200% under well-watered conditions and by 80–150% when wheat was grown without additions of water during the last half of the 100-day growing season. …

The Birds Of Perth's Urban Parks : Factors Influencing Their Distribution And Community Attitudes Towards Them, Jodi S. Mansell Jan 1997

The Birds Of Perth's Urban Parks : Factors Influencing Their Distribution And Community Attitudes Towards Them, Jodi S. Mansell

Theses : Honours

Knowledge of the general responses of bird populations to urbanisation and an understanding of their habitat requirements is necessary to ensure the continuation of bird life in urban areas. Most of the literature on urban birds around the world has concentrated on birds in streets and remnant patches. Urban parks provide much potential habitat for birds, although there are few publications addressing this issue. The aims of this project were to determine the terrestrial avifauna of Perth's northern suburban parks, investigate physical factors that might influence the distribution of birds, and determine the attitudes of park users towards birds in …

Monitoring Of Oxygen Saturation During And After Endoscopy, George Paul Van Lawick Jan 1997

Monitoring Of Oxygen Saturation During And After Endoscopy, George Paul Van Lawick

Theses : Honours

Fibreoptic endoscopy is a common and relatively safe diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the gastrointestinal tract. Previous research has established that oxygen desaturation is common among patients undergoing endoscopy and is one of the few complications which may arise during, and after the procedure. Oxygen saturation (Sa02) is a measurement of the percentage of oxygen carried by the haemoglobin and can be measured noninvasively and accurately using a pulse oximeter. Oxygen desaturation is generally described as Sa02 levels at or below 90%. Currently there are no clear guidelines for the duration of Sa02 monitoring …

Teaching Phoneme-Grapheme Correspondence Rules To Children With Learning Difficulties : An Implementation Of The Fernald Method, Paula Kinsman Jan 1997

Teaching Phoneme-Grapheme Correspondence Rules To Children With Learning Difficulties : An Implementation Of The Fernald Method, Paula Kinsman

Theses : Honours

A single subject design was used to investigate the effectiveness of the Fernald method as an instructional technique for teaching phoneme-grapheme correspondence rules. Participants were tour primary grade children with learning difficulties in reading. Intervention training focussed on teaching phoneme-grapheme correspondence rules through the implementation of an adapted version of the Fernald method. The two dependent variables were word recognition and fluency rates. The design of the study allowed analysis of maintenance and generalisation of the relevant variables. Results demonstrated an increase in word recognition skills and fluency rates by all four children with learning difficulties. Maintenance of these gains …

Cross-Talk Between Adherens Junctions And Desmosomes Depends On Plakoglobin, Jani E. Lewis, James K. Wahl Iii, Kristin M. Sass, Pamels J. Jensen, Pamela J. Johnson, Margaret J. Wheelock Jan 1997

Cross-Talk Between Adherens Junctions And Desmosomes Depends On Plakoglobin, Jani E. Lewis, James K. Wahl Iii, Kristin M. Sass, Pamels J. Jensen, Pamela J. Johnson, Margaret J. Wheelock

Biology

Squamous epithelial cells have both adherens junctions and desmosomes. The ability of these cells to organize the desmosomal proteins into a functional structure depends upon their ability first to organize an adherens junction. Since the adherens junction and the desmosome are separate structures with different molecular make up, it is not immediately obvious why formation of an adherens junction is a prerequisite for the formation of a desmosome. The adherens junction is composed of a transmembrane classical cadherin (E-cadherin and/or P-cadherin in squamous epithelial cells) linked to either β-catenin or plakoglobin, which is linked to α-catenin, which is linked to …
