Chain Reaction: The Tragedy Of Atomic Governance, Mary Dawn Wammack

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

An unprecedented combination of imagination and capital resulted in the most profound, and profane, achievement in modern history--the atom bomb--but the strategies that empowered its development caused inestimable suffering in peacetime America. Discrete practices of secrecy, media manipulation, and the devaluation of scientific opinion evolved and coalesced during the cold war, permeating institutions and pre-empting any protection of the unwary from exposure to radioactive fallout. While the atomic testing program and its consequences are often considered in light of national policy, this analysis alternatively reveals the character, fusion, and trajectory of practices that culminated in the collision of the government …

Translation Without Fidelity: A Response To Richard Epstein’S Fidelity Without Translation, William Michael Treanor

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article is a response to Fidelity Without Translation by Richard Epstein (1997).

Explaining why a body of work is influential is inevitably a complex matter, but part of the success of Professor Epstein’s writings undoubtedly stems from their grounding in the original understanding of the Constitution. He has claimed the mantle of the framers, and that claim gives his reading of the takings clause a deep resonance it would not otherwise have.

Explicitly rejecting Epstein’s reading of the clause and the history that lay behind its adoption, the author has previously advanced his own view of the original understanding …

Federal Regulation Of Tobacco Products And Products That Treat Tobacco Dependence: Are The Playing Fields Level?, Joseph A. Page

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Company A is thinking about launching a traditional tobacco product, perhaps a cigarette or a smokeless tobacco confection, with a new ingredient, ingredient level, or ingredient mix that in the past has never been sold. Company B contemplates putting on the market an innovative medication, medical device, or dietary supplement intended to help consumers to free themselves from physical dependence on tobacco products. Company C ponders the possibility of introducing a smoking product whose novelty derives from express or implied marketing claims that the product will decrease or perhaps even eliminate physical dependence on tobacco, or reduce other risks associated …

Environmental And Occupational Exposure To Ultraviolet Radiation And Associated Health Risks, Thomas Daniel Tenkate

All ETDs from UAB

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is produced by many sources, and for most people the sun is their main source of exposure. In the occupational environment there are also many artificial sources, of which welding arcs are the predominant and most intense. This dissertation represents a synthesis and interpretation of information (both empirical and review) that is contained in five journal articles. These articles address personal exposure, evaluation and control of UVR from both natural and artificial sources, and in particular exposure to UVR from welding arcs. This research has shown that workers in a welding environment have personal exposures to UVR …
