The Ties That Bind, Devon W. Carbado

Faculty Articles

What precisely is one asserting when one claims to be Latina/o? A political identity, an experiential identity, or both? Is the Latina/o identity racial, or ethnic, or cultural? Is it even ideologically or ontologically manageable? My father happens to be an African Cubano. My mother is Jamaican. I was born and raised in England. Am I a Latino? Or am I finally "just Black"? But you may be asking, why be binary? Identity is never an either/or proposition. Perhaps I am a "Black Latino." If so, doesn't the "Black" preceding "Latino" signify some lesser claim to Latino identity (I've never …

General Principles And International Uniform Commercial Law Conventions: A Study Of The 1980 Vienna Sales Convention And The 1988 Unidroit Conventions On International Factoring And Leasing, Franco Ferrari

Faculty Articles

Among the most important conventions on uniform commercial law in force are the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the two 1988 Ottawa Conventions: International Factoring and International Financial Leasing. The CISG assumes importance due to its great success. This is evidenced by the number of contracting States and by the attention it has drawn from scholars and judges alike. The Ottawa Conventions are also of notable importance, as they constitute the most recent uniform commercial law conventions to come into force. This article examines the relationship between the general principles and these …

Assimilationist Bias In Equal Protection: The Visibility Presumption And The Case Of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", Kenji Yoshino

Faculty Articles

Under current equal protection doctrine, the courts are more likely to accord heightened scrutiny to a classification if its defining trait is immutable or visible. This means that groups that can assimilate into mainstream society by changing or altering their defining trait are less likely to benefit from judicial solicitude. By withholding protection from these groups, the judiciary is subtly encouraging them to assimilate when faced with burdensome legislation. This Article critiques that assimilationist bias by demonstrating that the immutability and visibility factors cannot be justified on either substantive or processual theories of judicial review. Because the immutability factor has …

The Jew Taboo: Jewish Difference And The Affirmative Action Debate, Deborah Malamud

Faculty Articles

One of the most important questions for a serious debate on affirmative action is why certain minority groups need affirmative action while others have succeeded without it. The question is rarely asked, however, because the comparison that most frequently comes to mind-i.e., blacks and Jews-is seen by many as taboo. Daniel A. Farber and Suzanna Sherry have breached that taboo in recent writings. Professor Malamud's Article draws on work in the Jewish Studies field to respond to Farber and Sherry. It begins by critiquing their claim that Jewish values account for Jewish success. It then explores and embraces alternative explanations-some …

Women's Studies At Umass Boston: Celebrates 25 Years 1973-1998, Sherry H. Penney, Jean Mcmahon Humez, Women's Studies Program, University Of Massachusetts Boston

Women’s and Gender Studies Faculty Publication Series

What follows is an impressionistic overview of our program's first twenty five years, derived in part from our archives and in part from our collective recollections, and written by the current program director. As with any celebratory institutional history, it makes no claim to objectivity. Our aim is to look back at the main lines of our growth and development, and in so doing to acknowledge many of the individuals who have contributed to the building of the program over time.

We gratefully acknowledge the work of our first archivist, UMass Women's Studies / Sociology graduate dian fitzpatrick who, in …

Developing Seven Bible Studies Related To The Atonement, Consistent With A Cosmic-Conflict Paradigm Of Salvation History, Richard Duane Smith

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

A new view of the atonement threatened to divide some local congregations of Seventh-day Adventists. Referred to in this study as the "trust-healing model" of atonement, the new paradigm proposed by A. Graham Maxwell was developed from a wide reading of Scripture and claimed additional support from the "great controversy" motif in the writings of Ellen G. White. However, because it seemed to call in question certain aspects of the long-accepted substitutionary model of the atonement, the new paradigm became a point of conflict.

Method

This dissertation seeks to clarify the issues by comparing the trust-healing model of atonement …

A Seventh-Day Adventist Understanding Of The Church And Its Mission, Viesturs Rekis

Doctor of Ministry Projects

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biblical background of the Christian church and its mission, in order to better understand the implications for Adventist mission in the Baltic countries. This study is intended to equip ministerial students with basic knowledge and to stimulate further studies of the church and its mission. Implications are drawn from the findings of the investigation to stimulate the mission of the church in the Baltic Union Conference.

The first part of the dissertation deals with the origins, nature, and functions of the Christian church within a biblical and theological perspective. Consideration of …

Measured And Simulated Performance Of Reflective Roofing Systems In Residential Buildings, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker

FSEC Energy Research Center®

A series of experiments in Florida residences have measured the impact on space cooling of increasing roof solar reflectance. In tests on 11 homes with the roof color changed mid summer, the average cooling energy use was reduced by 19%. Measurements and infrared thermography showed that a significant part of the savings were due to interactions when the duct system is located in the attic space. An improved residential attic and duct simulation model, taking these experimental results into account, has been implemented in the DOE-2.1E building energy simulation program. The model was then used to estimate the impact of …

Search For Supersymmetry With A Dominant R-Parity Violating Llē Coupling In E+E- Collisions At Centre-Of-Mass Energies Of 130 Gev To 172 Gev, R. Barate, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A search for pair-production of supersymmetric particles under the assumption that R-parity is violated via a dominant LLE¯LLE¯ coupling has been performed using the data collected by ALEPH at centre-of-mass energies of 130–172 GeV. The observed candidate events in the data are in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. This is translated into lower limits on the mass of charginos, neutralinos, sleptons, sneutrinos and squarks. For instance, charginos with masses less than 73 GeV/c2c2 and neutralinos with masses less than 23 GeV/c2c2 are excluded at 95% confidence level for any generation structure of the LLE¯LLE¯ coupling, and for neutralino, slepton …

Measurement Of The Axial-Vector Τ Spectral Functions And Determination Of Αs (M2Τ) From Hadronic Τ Decays, R. Barate, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

An analysis based on 124 000 selected ττ pairs recorded by the ALEPH detector at LEP provides the vector (V)(V) and axial-vector (A)(A) spectral functions of hadronic ττ decays together with their total widths. This allows the evaluation of finite energy chiral sum rules that are weighted integrals over the (V−A)(V−A) spectral functions. In addition, a precise measurement of αsαs along with a determination of nonperturbative contributions at the ττ mass scale is performed. The experimentally and theoretically most robust determination of αs(M2τ)αs(Mτ2) is obtained from the (V+A)(V+A) fit that yields αs(M2τ)=0.334±0.022αs(Mτ2)=0.334±0.022 giving αs(M2Z)=0.1202±0.0027αs(MZ2)=0.1202±0.0027 after the extrapolation to the mass …

Search For Evidence Of Compositeness At Lep I, R. Barate, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Extensive searches for evidence of compositeness of quarks and leptons have been made in the complete set of ALEPH data from LEP running at the Z peak. These include searches for radiative and weak decays of excited fermions, produced either in pairs or singly, and a scalar partner of the Z. Coupling and branching ratio limits deduced from these searches are presented.
