Reasonable Certainty And Reasonable Doubt, Henry L. Chambers, Jr. Jan 1998

Reasonable Certainty And Reasonable Doubt, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.

Law Faculty Publications

Ultimately, this article is about how well different definitions of reasonable doubt fit society's goals for the criminal justice system. To be clear, this article is not about which definition is best. That question is far broader than the one I seek to explore. Determining what definition of reasonable doubt is best for the system is a question for another time. Rather, this article describes a few different ways that reasonable doubt and the presumption of innocence can be interpreted and considers the implications of applying those differing interpretations. Part II of this article examines how the criminal justice system …

Timely Industry Information As An Assurance Service: Evidence On The Information Content Of The Book-To-Bill Ratio, Neil L. Fargher, Larry R. Gorman, Michael S. Wilkins Jan 1998

Timely Industry Information As An Assurance Service: Evidence On The Information Content Of The Book-To-Bill Ratio, Neil L. Fargher, Larry R. Gorman, Michael S. Wilkins

School of Business Faculty Research

Assurance services include independent professional services that improve the quality of information. Once such service is the collection of confidential information from participating firms on behalf of an industry association and the release of summarized information to investors. An example of this type of service is the collection of industry-wide information for the Semiconductor Industry Association. The primary output from this process is the monthly release of a ratio of new orders received to chips shipped, known as the book-to-bill ratio.

We evaluate the association between book-to-bill disclosures and common stock prices. Statements in the financial press suggest that the …

Multicolor Fringe Projection System With Enhanced 3-D Reconstruction Of Surfaces, Bernard S. Gilbert, Joel H. Blatt Jan 1998

Multicolor Fringe Projection System With Enhanced 3-D Reconstruction Of Surfaces, Bernard S. Gilbert, Joel H. Blatt

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

Most optical topology systems use a single wavelength laser for projection, using a swept spot, a moving line, or a projected grating. In a typical projected grating system, the gratings are shifted and a series of images are used to recover the 3-D shape of the target. When the series of images is analyzed in the normal phase shift manner, the resulting 2-D phase map typically has phase unwrapping problems due to noise and Nyquist limits. Surfaces with large vertical discontinuities present the biggest problem in 3-D shape recovery. This paper looks at simultaneously projecting multiple wavelengths onto a surface …

Nano-Engineering Of Molecular Films By Self-Assembly And Langmuir-Blodgett Techniques, Erwin P. Enriquez Jan 1998

Nano-Engineering Of Molecular Films By Self-Assembly And Langmuir-Blodgett Techniques, Erwin P. Enriquez

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The availability of sophisticated and ultra-sensitive analytical tools and the maturity of organic synthesis have opened new possibilities for fabrication of molecular materials designed at the nanometer scale. Presently, the most promising and widely investigated methodologies are the self-assembly and Langmuir-Blodgett procedures. The former relies on the strong, preferential affinity of specific functional groups to solid surfaces, whereas the latter involves transfer of pre-formed mono layers at the air-water interface onto solid substrates. These techniques and their recent applications are reviewed.

The Effects Of Self-Esteem On Reading And Math Achievement In Third And Fifth Grade Students, Carol Ann Beatty Jan 1998

The Effects Of Self-Esteem On Reading And Math Achievement In Third And Fifth Grade Students, Carol Ann Beatty

Theses

This study examined whether self-esteem had a significant effect on reading and math achievement. Data were collected from 90 third and fifth grade students in a Midwestern, suburban elementary school. Results of a self-esteem test (Piers-Harris Children's Self-concept Scale) were correlated to standardized reading and math test scores (Missouri Mastery and Achievement Test, MMA T). The results indicated a direct correlation. The variation in the level of self-esteem scores suggests a parallel relationship with reading and math achievement scores. The direct correlation demonstrates if one score (self-esteem) is high, then the other score (reading or math) will more than likely …

Learning Style Preferences And Academic Achievement Within The Basic Communication Course, Charles A. Lubbers, William J. Seiler Jan 1998

Learning Style Preferences And Academic Achievement Within The Basic Communication Course, Charles A. Lubbers, William J. Seiler

Basic Communication Course Annual

Students enrolled in a basic communication course taught using the personalized system of instruction (PSI) were studied to determine the influence of learning style preferences on academic achievement. The twenty measures of the Canfield Learning Style Inventory (CLSI) were regressed with three measures of student academic achievement. Eight of the twenty were significant in at least one of the three equations. Two of the learning style measures (class organization and performance expectations) were significant with all three measures of achievement. Two applications of the findings for basic course instructors are presented.

Applying Multiple Intelligences Theory To The Basic Public Speaking Course, Kristi A. Schaller, Marybeth G. Callison Jan 1998

Applying Multiple Intelligences Theory To The Basic Public Speaking Course, Kristi A. Schaller, Marybeth G. Callison

Basic Communication Course Annual

This article examines the theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) (Gardner, 1983; 1993) as it applies to the basic public speaking course. According to MI theory, intelligence is not a single dimension but is a composite of several aptitudes and talents. Gardner believes that individuals possess more than one intelligence, and MI theory defines seven. We argue that the basic public speaking course is an excellent forum for addressing students’ multiple intelligences while teaching oral and written communication skills. This paper introduces MI theory and provides suggested course assignments and activities that correspond with the multiple intelligences.

Cognitive Agents, Michael N. Huhns, Munindar P. Singh Jan 1998

Cognitive Agents, Michael N. Huhns, Munindar P. Singh

Faculty Publications

Several researchers have proposed using cognitive concepts as a semantic basis for agent communications (M.N. Huhns and M.P. Singh, 1997). One of the leading candidates for such a semantics is based on Arcol, the communication language used within Artimis. Interestingly, this application (not only of Arcol, but also in general) appears extremely misguided. The intentional concepts are well suited to designing agents, but are not suited to giving a basis to a public, standardizable view of communication. A challenge for using the cognitive concepts is that although they are natural in several respects and can guide implementations, full blown implementations …

Surface Morphology Of Laser-Superheated Pb(111) And Pb(100), Z. H. Zhang, Bo Lin, X. L. Zeng, H. E. Elsayed-Ali Jan 1998

Surface Morphology Of Laser-Superheated Pb(111) And Pb(100), Z. H. Zhang, Bo Lin, X. L. Zeng, H. E. Elsayed-Ali

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The surface step density on the vicinal Pb(111) and the surface vacancy density on Pb(100) after laser superheating and melting are investigated using reflection high-energy electron diffraction. With ∼100-ps laser pulses, Pb(111) surface superheating does not significantly change the density of the steps and step-edge roughness. However, after laser surface melting, the average terrace width and the string length at the step edge become as large as those at room temperature. The average terrace width at 573 K changes from 38±15 to 64±19 Å after laser surface melting, while the average string length at the step edge changes from 90±14 …

Femtosecond Photoemission Study Of Ultrafast Electron Dynamics In Single-Crystal Au(111) Films, J. Cao, Y. Gao, H. E. Elsayed-Ali, R. J. D. Miller, D. A. Mantell Jan 1998

Femtosecond Photoemission Study Of Ultrafast Electron Dynamics In Single-Crystal Au(111) Films, J. Cao, Y. Gao, H. E. Elsayed-Ali, R. J. D. Miller, D. A. Mantell

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The energy-dependent relaxation of photoexcited electrons has been measured by time-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy on single-crystal Au(111) films with thickness ranging from 150 to 3000 Å. It is found that the energy-dependent relaxation does not show any significant thickness dependence, which indicates that electron transport is a much slower dynamical process in the near-surface region than expected from bulk properties. Furthermore, lifetimes of the photoexcited electrons can be fitted well by the Fermi-liquid theory with a scaling factor plus an effective upper lifetime. This observation enables separation of electron-electron scattering, and to a lesser extent electron-phonon scattering, processes from electron-transport …

Land Transformation, Highly Governed Landscapes And Landscape Health: A Case Study Of The Lower Piave Area Of Northeastern Italy, Pietro Bertollo Jan 1998

Land Transformation, Highly Governed Landscapes And Landscape Health: A Case Study Of The Lower Piave Area Of Northeastern Italy, Pietro Bertollo

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This dissertation examines the issue of biophysical landscape health. Its primary objective is to produce an interpretation of biophysical landscape health for the highly governed landscapes of the Lower Piave area of northeastern Italy. Highly governed landscapes are considered to be those which are highly controlled by humans to an even greater degree than normal cultural landscapes. An example is reclaimed agricultural landscapes such as those of the northeastern Italian coastal belt, from which the Lower Piave case study is drawn. These landscapes are highly governed because without constant human intervention, they would revert back to their former marsh state. …

Review Of 'Artificial Legal Intelligence', Stephen M. Mcjohn Jan 1998

Review Of 'Artificial Legal Intelligence', Stephen M. Mcjohn

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

Artificial Legal Intelligence, by Pamela Gray, presents a thought-provoking approach to both computational models of legal reasoning and the use of evolutionary thinking about the law. Drawing on a prodigious amount of research, the book looks beyond the rather technical approach common in the field and attempts to place artificial legal intelligence within the broad structure of legal history. This paper first summarizes the book's vision of a computerized artificial legal intelligence, a vision of developments in both technology and legal history. The paper discusses how this fits with trends in both artificial intelligence and legal theory. The paper further …

Higher Order Isotropic Velocity Grids In Lattice Methods, Pavol Pavlo, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala Jan 1998

Higher Order Isotropic Velocity Grids In Lattice Methods, Pavol Pavlo, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Kinetic lattice methods are a very attractive representation of nonlinear macroscopic systems because of their inherent parallelizability on multiple processors and their avoidance of the nonlinear convective terms. By uncoupling the velocity lattice from the spatial grid, one can employ higher order (non-space-filling) isotropic lattices-lattices which greatly enhance the stable parameter regions, particularly in thermal problems. In particular, the superiority of the octagonal lattice over previous models used in 2D (hexagonal or square) and 3D (projected face-centered hypercube) is shown.
