Aspects Of Searching And Tunneling Behavior In Resource Utilization By The Formosan Subterranean Termite, Coptotermes Formosanus Shiraki., Justin Carl Hedlund

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), were acclimated with different masses of pine or no wood (control) and then allowed access to a thin sand filled tunneling chamber. As available pine increased, termite survival and food consumption increased but search tunnel volume decreased. Increased food size resulted in termites excavating fewer exploratory tunnels due to decreases in secondary and tertiary branch tunnels. An increase in food size also decreased the total length of a search tunnel network, due to decreases in primary and secondary branch order lengths. Search tunnel networks had proportionally more length devoted to primary tunnels …

A Study Of Integrated Learning Systems In The Public Schools, Mary N. Parker

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of an Integrated Learning System (ILS). This study focused on how public school districts in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Iowa were using the ILS.

Other software providers refused to cooperate in supplying names for the study. The study also asked if the ILS were effective in producing student gains.

While this study did not statistically evaluate the effectiveness of the ILS compared to control groups, or …

Private Religious Choice In German And American Constitutional Law: Government Funding And Government Religious Speech, Ingrid Wuerth

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The sharply contested religion cases from Germany in the late 1990s...point to problems with our growing reliance on private religious choice analysis that demand our attention in both government funding and speech cases. To understand the problems of funding religious groups in neutral programs, we must back up and ask the foundational question: what goals may the government pursue with its funding? The broader those goals are defined, the greater the potential distortion of private religious choice, through either inclusion or exclusion from the programs. To fully make sense of government funding and the Establishment Clause, we must consider its …

Independent Judges And Independent Justice, Suzanna Sherry

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Professor Currie's article [See David P. Currie, "Separating Judicial Power", 61 LAW & CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS 7 (Summer 1998) ] discusses historical attempts to limit judicial independence. I consider the converse: how judges have exercised their independence. This essay provides a brief historical overview of judges using their independence to implement their own view of justice, often contrary to both popular sentiment and legislative will.

Judicial Independence: Playing Politics With The Constitution, Suzanna Sherry

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

I begin with a question: why have a conference on judicial independence? To find the answer, one need only read the newspapers. Judicial independence-as well as its political counterpart, judicial impeachment-is a hot topic these days because some in Congress have threatened to impeach judges for delivering unpopular decisions. So I take as my subject in this Essay the question of whether the constitutional provisions safeguarding judicial independence protect judges against impeachment for issuing rulings that Congress considers erroneous or even loathsome. When we talk about judicial independence, we have to separate two questions. The first question is the extent …
