Reexamining Compelling Interests And Radical State Campaign Finance Reforms: So Goes The Nation, Molly Peterson Jan 1998

Reexamining Compelling Interests And Radical State Campaign Finance Reforms: So Goes The Nation, Molly Peterson

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

James Madison noted that "[t]here are two methods of curing the mischiefs of [a] faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects." Campaign finance regulation, often spoken of as curing the mischiefs of special interest groups, has experienced a popular resurgence spawned by inquiries into extranational contributions in the 1996 presidential election and the 104th Congress' filibuster of the McCain-Feingold reform package. Since the Supreme Court's decision in the 1976 case Buckley v. Valeo, striking several parts of the Federal Election Campaign Act for infringing upon First Amendment-protected political expression, the efficacy of campaign finance …

The Identification, Characterization, And Functionality Of A Multidrug Transporter Protein In The Liver Of The Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus, Walter J. Ellenberg Jan 1998

The Identification, Characterization, And Functionality Of A Multidrug Transporter Protein In The Liver Of The Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus, Walter J. Ellenberg

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The killifish or mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, is an excellent indicator of environmental quality and ecosystems health. It is the most dominant endemic fish species found in the headwater of small estuarine tidal creeks in the southeastern U.S. and one of the most frequently studied animals for toxicological analysis. In the environment, these organisms are exposed to xenobiotic hydrophobic molecules from anthropogenic ( e.g., pesticides and combustion products) and natural ( e.g., decaying plants) sources. Development of physiological adaptations to both natural and anthropogenic stress is important to fish such as the mummichog which must deal with the rigors of an …

The Goals Of Environmental Enforcement And The Range Of Enforcement Methods In Israel And In The United States, Marcia R. Gelpe Jan 1998

The Goals Of Environmental Enforcement And The Range Of Enforcement Methods In Israel And In The United States, Marcia R. Gelpe

Faculty Scholarship

The article examines enforcement of the environmental laws of Israel and of the United States. It concentrates on provisions for enforcement of the laws by government authorities--that is, either by administrative authorities or by the courts at the request of an administrative authority. Environmental laws in many jurisdictions may also be enforced by private actions. These private enforcement actions are not addressed specifically in this article, although much of what is said is also applicable to such actions.

Regeneration - The Road Not Taken, Raymond E. Sicard Jan 1998

Regeneration - The Road Not Taken, Raymond E. Sicard

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Regeneration and repair are mutually-exclusive, adaptive responses to injury. The events associated with each process are well characterized. However, cellular and molecular mechanisms for their regulation are only now beginning to be defined. Moreover, full appreciation for factors that predispose to these contrasting pathways is not yet available. This article presents a perspective on regeneration and repair that suggests specific relationships between these modes of responding to injury. Injury provokes a coordinated pattern of response to tissue damage. At the wound site, local events determine whether tissue restoration or replacement occurs. Interplay among parenchymal and stromal cells at the site …

Wound Repair, Raymond E. Sicard, Jeffry D. Shearer, Michael D. Caldwell Jan 1998

Wound Repair, Raymond E. Sicard, Jeffry D. Shearer, Michael D. Caldwell

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Following injury, a series of events is initiated that includes global and local reactions. Global reactions, such as inflammatory and immunological responses as well as adjustments in neural and endocrine status, are directed at marshaling the organism's resources for dealing with changes in its integrity and the potential threat of infection or other complications. Injury entails cell and tissue damage and often a physical breach in the barrier against the outside world (e.g., skin). Local reactions are exemplified by immediate hemostatic (e.g., blood clotting) events followed by changes in local cellular composition created by the inflammatory infiltrate and adjustments in …

Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor And Hepatocyte Growth Factor Content Of Wound, Repair, And Muscle Regeneration Fluids, Raymond E. Sicard, Wendy A. Mand Jan 1998

Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor And Hepatocyte Growth Factor Content Of Wound, Repair, And Muscle Regeneration Fluids, Raymond E. Sicard, Wendy A. Mand

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Injury produces marked changes to the local environment. Changes in both diversity and availability of bioactive substances at wound sites might discriminate between repair and regeneration microenvironments and selectively drive events leading to final resolution. Among factors with potential relevance to wound repair and regeneration are basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In this study, concentrations of these factors were determined in fluids derived from wound, repair, and regeneration-conditioned models using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. All fluids contained substantial concentrations of bFGF which rose 5- to I 5-fold as resolution to injury was achieved. Mean bFGF content …

Sigma Coordinate Pressure Gradient Errors And The Seamount Problem, George L. Mellor, Lie-Yauw Oey, Tal Ezer Jan 1998

Sigma Coordinate Pressure Gradient Errors And The Seamount Problem, George L. Mellor, Lie-Yauw Oey, Tal Ezer

CCPO Publications

In a recent paper by Mellor et al., it was found that, in two-dimensional (x, z) applications with finite horizontal viscosity and zero diffusivity, the velocity error, associated with the evaluation of horizontal density or pressure gradients on a sigma coordinate grid, prognostically disappeared, leaving behind a small and physically insignificant distortion in the density field. The initial error is numerically consistent in that it decreases as the square of the grid increment size. In this paper, we label this error as a sigma error of the first kind. In three-dimensional applications, the authors have encountered an error that did …

A Global Communication Optimization Technique Based On Data-Flow Analysis And Linear Algebra, Mahmut Kandemir, P. Banerjee, Alok Choudhary, J. Ramanujam Jan 1998

A Global Communication Optimization Technique Based On Data-Flow Analysis And Linear Algebra, Mahmut Kandemir, P. Banerjee, Alok Choudhary, J. Ramanujam

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

Reducing communication overhead is extremely important in distributed-memory message-passing architectures. In this paper, we present a technique to improve communication that considers data access patterns of the entire program. Our approach is based on a combination of traditional data-flow analysis and a linear algebra framework, and works on structured programs with conditional statements and nested loops but without arbitrary goto statements. The distinctive features of the solution are the accuracy in keeping communication set information, support for general alignments and distributions including block-cyclic distributions and the ability to simulate some of the previous approaches with suitable modifications. We also show …

Steady State Memetic Algorithm For Partial Shape Matching, Ender Ozcan, Chilukuri K. Mohan Jan 1998

Steady State Memetic Algorithm For Partial Shape Matching, Ender Ozcan, Chilukuri K. Mohan

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

Shape matching techniques are important in machine intelligence, especially in applications such as robotics. Currently, there are three major approaches to shape recognition: statistical, syntactic and neural approaches. This paper presents a fourth approach: evolutionary algorithms. A steady state memetic algorithm is shown to be successful in matching shapes even when they are partially obscured, and even in the presence of noise in the input image.

Financing Higher Standards In Public Education: The Importance Of Accounting For Educational Costs, William Duncombe, John Yinger Jan 1998

Financing Higher Standards In Public Education: The Importance Of Accounting For Educational Costs, William Duncombe, John Yinger

Center for Policy Research

Performance standards have been at the center of recent debates on educational reform. Many states have implemented new performance standards, often based on student test scores, and a district's state aid is sometimes linked to its success in meeting the standards. This focus on performance is designed primarily to promote better student achievement by holding schools accountable. However, a school's performance is influence not only by the actions of its administrators and teachers but also by factors outside its control, such as the nature of its student body. Thus, a focus on performance is inevitably unfair, especially to cities, unless …

Integrating Security Into The Curriculum, Cynthia E. Irvine, Shiu-Kai Chin, Deborah Frincke Jan 1998

Integrating Security Into The Curriculum, Cynthia E. Irvine, Shiu-Kai Chin, Deborah Frincke

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

The number of skilled practitioners of computer security who are able to address the complexities of modern technology and are familiar with successful approaches to system security is very small. People want security but are faced with two difficulties. First, they do not know how to achieve it in the context of their enterprises. They may not even know of a way to translate organizational procedures into policies, much less implement a set of mechanisms to enforce those policies. Second, they have no way of knowing whether their chosen mechanisms are effective. The recent US Presidential Commission on Critical Infrastructure …

Dilemmas Of Building A Sustainable Equitable Information Resource. Workshop In Political Theory And Policy Analysis, Indiana University, Charlotte Hess

Librarian Publications

From Page 1: "Because information plays a central role in environmental and CPR research, the quality, flow, and timeliness of of intellectual resources are crucial. The development agency community repeatedly stresses the intricate relationship between information access and economic development (UNDP, 1997; Mchombu, 1996; McConnell, 1996; Baranshamaje, 1995; Valantin, 1996). International information specialists write about the urgent need for local, appropriate information in locally-designed libraries which better serve local, indigenous communities (Alemna, 1996; Matare, 1997; Kuntze, 1996; Ifidon, 1990). Better accountability and communication of scientific information by researchers is also being voiced more frequently . In his keynote address at …

Hadamard Difference Sets In Nonabelian 2-Groups With High Exponent, James A. Davis, Joel E. Iiams Jan 1998

Hadamard Difference Sets In Nonabelian 2-Groups With High Exponent, James A. Davis, Joel E. Iiams

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Nontrivial difference sets in groups of order a power of 2 are part of the family of difference sets called Hadamard difference sets. In the abelian case, a group of order 22t + 2 has a difference set if and only if the exponent of the group is less than or equal to 2t + 2. In a previous work (R. A. Liebler and K. W. Smith, in “Coding Theory, Design Theory, Group Theory: Proc. of the Marshall Hall Conf.,” Wiley, New York, 1992), the authors constructed a difference set in a nonabelian group of order …

Expanding The Circle Of Membership By Reconstructing The Alien: Lessons From Social Psychology And The Promise Enforcement Cases, Victor C. Romero Jan 1998

Expanding The Circle Of Membership By Reconstructing The Alien: Lessons From Social Psychology And The Promise Enforcement Cases, Victor C. Romero

Faculty Scholarship

Recent legal scholarship suggests that the Supreme Court's decisions on immigrants' rights favor conceptions of membership over personhood. Federal courts are often reluctant to recognize the personal rights claims of noncitizens because they are not members of the United States. Professor Michael Scaperlanda argues that because the courts have left the protection of noncitizens' rights in the hands of Congress and, therefore, its constituents, U.S. citizens must engage in a serious dialogue regarding membership in this polity while considering the importance of constitutional principles of personhood. This Article takes up Scaperlanda's challenge. Borrowing from recent research in social psychology, this …
