Authors And Users In Copyright, Jane C. Ginsburg

Faculty Scholarship

It has become fashionable, among some thinkers and activists in copyright and related fields, to disparage or to deplore copyright protection. For one drawn to copyright both for its intellectual fascination and its inspiring goals of fostering creativity and protecting authorship, I am distressed to learn that I am among the defenders of a fallen faith, that authors' rights are misguided (if not pernicious) impediments to technological progress, and, worst of all, that copyright blocks freedom of thought and speech in cyberspace. Digital agendas notwithstanding, some of this derogatory discourse is not new; infringers have long found eloquent, if somewhat …

From The Bottom Up, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

This Article is about carrying out informal instructions given by people in authority. Although many scholars have written about how legal interpretation resembles interpretation in fields such as literature and religion, few have compared informal instructions and legal rules. My most basic assumption in this Article is that focus on informal situations can illumine the standards people use in performing instructions and the kinds of meaning they attribute to instructions. As my title implies, if we reflect on what amounts to faithful or desirable performance of informal directives and the more conceptual question of what these prescriptive standards "mean," we …

New Objective Classification System For Nuclear Opacification, Donald D. Duncan, O. B. Shukla, Sheila West, Oliver D. Schein

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

We have developed an autonomous objective classification scheme for degree of nuclear opacification. The algorithm was developed by using a series of color 35-mm slides acquired with a Topcon photo slit-lamp microscope and use of standard camera settings. The photographs were digitized, and first, and second-order gray-level statistics were extracted from within circular regions of the nucleus. Classifications of severity were performed by using these features as input to a neural network. Training versus classification performance was tested by using photographs of different eyes, and test/retest classification reproducibility was evaluated by using paired photographs of the same eyes. We demonstrate …

Resolution Of Local Inconsistency In Identification, Douglas Ray Anderson, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

This paper reports an algorithm for the resolution of local inconsistency in information-theoretic identification. This problem was first pointed out by Klir as an important research area in reconstructability analysis. Local inconsistency commonly arises when an attempt is made to integrate multiple data sources, i.e., contingency tables, which have differing common margins. For example, if one ha)s an AB table and a BC table, the B margins obtained from the two tables may disagree. If the disagreement can be assigned to sampling error, then one can arrive at a compromise B margin, adjust the original AB and BC tables to …

What Does The Client See? A Review Of Psychotherapists' Nonverbal Behavior, Iris Taber

Modern Psychological Studies

Nonverbal communication between a psychotherapist and a mental health consumer is an extremely powerful tool in the course of psychotherapy. Clients generally assume therapists attend to their nonverbals but therapists may be unaware of the extent to which their nonverbals influence therapy. This paper examines the influence of the therapist's nonverbals on the therapeutic relationship. In research conducted by Davis & Hadiks (1994) using the Nonverbal Interaction and States Analysis (NISA), client and therapist movements were compared and rated on the same scale. These data indicated that body position patterns facilitated the development of rapport and self-disclosure in a therapy …

Chemical Stability Study Of Bace0.9Nd0.1O3−Α High Temperature Proton-Conducting Ceramic, Fanglin Chen, O. Toft Sorensen, Guangyao Meng, Dingkum Peng

Faculty Publications

BaCe_0.9Nd_0.1O_3−a (BCN) ceramic is known to be an excellent high-temperature proton conductor and is a candidate electrolyte for use in solid oxide fuel cells, hydrogen or steam sensors and steam electrolysers. In this work, the chemical stability of BCN was investigated systematically by combining XRD and DTA–TG techniques to study its processing compatibility and its feasibility in potential applications. It was found that above 1200 °C, BCN reacted with alumina or zirconia, leading to the loss of barium and an excess of cerium. In cold water, both sintered BCN disks and powder samples had very …

Psychometric Properties Of A Weeping Propensity Scale., Phyllis M. Olson

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Weeping Propensity Scale is a 24-item questionnaire using a nine point Likert-type scale to query the intensity of a subject's weeping response to a variety of potentially crying-inducing situations. Results indicated that the measure has substantial reliability, both internal consistency (Cronbach alpha= .95) and test-retest reliability (r = .90). The study examined the stability of the factor structure of a revision of the Weeping Propensity Scale (WPS) and examined expected relationships with gender, instrumentality/expressiveness measured by the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (Spence, Helmreich, & Stapp, 1974),empathy measured by the Questionnaire Measure of Emotional Empathy (Mehrabian & Epstein, 1972), and the …

Features Of Graft Copolymer Formation Through Reaction Of Functionalized Polyolefins With Poly-\Epsilon-Caprolactam, Elisa Passaglia, Francesco Picchioni, Mauro Aglietto, Giocomo Ruggeri, Francesco Ciardelli

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The reaction in the melt of polyolefins containing 2-diethylsuccinate groups (DES) with poly-\epsilon-caprolactam (PA6) to give a graft copolymer was investigated under different conditions. Even using a large excess of DES groups over the PA6 terminal amino groups the graft copolymer yield resulted only partial thus suggesting a kinetic control of the reaction. The effect of various catalysts was then examined taking into account results obtained in a model reaction between a low molecular weight amine and diethylsuccinate. The results are discussed in terms of side reactions and miscibility of the pristine polymers.

Personal Variables And Critical Incident Stress Among Correctional Officers, Robin L. Sanabria

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine whether personal variables including age, gender, length of correctional work experience, years ofEducation, and work locus of control predict levels of critical incident stress among correctional officers. Fifty-two federal correctional officers completed: (a) the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (Weiss & Marmar, 1997) to measure critical incident stress, (b) the Work Locus Control Scale (Spector, 1988) to measure work locus of control, and (c) a demographic questionnaire. The instruments were distributed at the work place, and completion was encouraged during duty hours. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted. The personal variables tested, …

An Evaluation Of Parent And Teacher Rating Scales As Predictors Of The T.O.V.A. Measures Of Inattention, Impulsivity, Response Time And Variability, Nancy Claire Kiger

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study evaluated the relationship of six parent and eight teacher rating scales to the T.O.V.A. measures of Inattention, Impulsivity, Response Time and Variability. Subjects consisted of 88 children 6 through 14 years of age, referred by teachers and parents to a school psychologist in a small midwestern community for evaluation of ADHD symptomatology. These students attended school at four public elementary schools and three private religious elementary schools. Sixty-eight subjects were males and twenty subjects were females. Each child was administered the T.O.V.A. by a school psychologist. Parents filled out the BASC:PRS, CPRS-48, and the ADHD Rating Scale. Teachers …

Coping Processes Used By Mothers Of Triplets, Susan Mullen Kaplan

Health Services Research Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to identify and describe the coping processes used by mothers of triplets. Using a descriptive design, interpersonal comparisons of 92 mothers of triplets attending a national meeting of families of higher order multiples were made. Variables, in addition to sociodemographic characteristics, included coping processes, levels of depression, perceived availability of social support, and current stress levels. Coping processes were measured using the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (Folkman & Lazarus, 1988), derived from their cognitive-phenomenological theory of stress and coping. Level of depression was measured using the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (Zung, 1965). Perceived availability …

Observation And Investigation Of The Ferrielectric Subphase With High Qt Parameter., Yuri Panarin, O. Kalinovskaya, D.J. Vij, J.W. Goodby

Articles

Dielectric relaxation processes in an antiferroelectric liquid crystal ~AFLC! have been investigated over a wide range of frequencies from 1 Hz to 1 GHz. The AFLC under investigation possesses a variety of different ferrielectric, ferroelectric, and antiferroelectric phases. Dielectric and polarization measurements under direct bias voltage have been made with a view to clarifying the origin of the high-temperature ferrielectric phase, which appears between the AF and smectic-C* phases. This phase is assigned to an unstable ferrielectric phase with qT parameter greater than 1/2 ~according to the Ising model! or a doubly modulated incommensurate phase ~according to the expanded Landau …

Preservation Of Community Structure In Death Assemblages Of Deep‐Water Caribbean Reef Corals, John M. Pandolfi, Benjamin J. Greenstein

Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

An in situ survey of deep reef environments (20 and 30 m) was conducted to determine the degree to which the community structure of live reef coral assemblages was faithfully represented in the adjacent death assemblages accumulating on the sea floor. Relative abundance of species was significantly different between life and death assemblages, and zonation patterns (in species relative abundance, coral growth form, and diversity) present in the life assemblages showed both similarities and differences to those found in the death assemblages. The difference in species distribution patterns between life and death assemblages is shown by a striking growth form …
