Measuring Fine Aggregate Shape By Digital Imaging, Larry David Klotz Jan 1998

Measuring Fine Aggregate Shape By Digital Imaging, Larry David Klotz

Theses and Dissertations

Fine aggregate shape has been identified as a factor in determining asphalt pavement rutting susceptibility. In an effort to improve test methods for measuring aggregate shape characteristics, a video-based, computer-controlled imaging system was developed. Individual aggregate particles were characterized by shape attributes. A neural network classifier used these attributes to calculate a single number classification index that relates to expected performance in asphalt concrete based on angularity. Expert judges were used to train the neural network classifier by scoring a set of particle outlines. Discrepancies in the expert's scores indicate that considerable uncertainties still exist in the concept of 'angularity'. …

Family-Friendly Backlash—Fact Or Fiction? The Case Of Organizations' On-Site Child Care Centers, Teresa J. Rothausen, Jorge A. Gonzalez, Lisa L. O'Dell, Nicole E. Clarke Jan 1998

Family-Friendly Backlash—Fact Or Fiction? The Case Of Organizations' On-Site Child Care Centers, Teresa J. Rothausen, Jorge A. Gonzalez, Lisa L. O'Dell, Nicole E. Clarke

Management Faculty Publications

Employer offerings of on-site child care benefits have grown tremendously in the past few decades; both beneficial and detrimental effects on worker attitudes and behaviors have been noted. Some research suggests that offering on-site child care benefits can cause resentment among childless workers and/or workers with children who do not use the center. In a field sample of 271 employees (mean age 34.5 yrs), current and past use of the on-site child care center, as well as anticipated future use of the on-site child care center, were related to more positive proximal reactions such as attitudes closely related to the …

Disaggregation Procedures For Stochastic Hydrology Based On Nonparametric Density Estimation, David G. Tarboton, Ashish Sharma, Upmanu L. Lall Jan 1998

Disaggregation Procedures For Stochastic Hydrology Based On Nonparametric Density Estimation, David G. Tarboton, Ashish Sharma, Upmanu L. Lall

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

Synthetic simulation of streamflow sequences is important for the analysis of water supply reliability. Disaggregation models are an important component of the stochastic streamflow generation methodology. They provide the ability to simulate multiseason and multisite streamflow sequences that preserve statistical properties at multiple timescales or space scales. In recent papers we have suggested the use of nonparametric methods for streamflow simulation. These methods provide the capability to model time series dependence without a priori assumptions as to the probability distribution of streamflow. They remain faithful to the data and can approximate linear or nonlinear dependence. In this paper we extend …

Controlled Environment Potentiostat To Study Solid-Aqueous Systems, R A. Petrie, P. R. Grossl, Ronald C. Sims Jan 1998

Controlled Environment Potentiostat To Study Solid-Aqueous Systems, R A. Petrie, P. R. Grossl, Ronald C. Sims

Biological Engineering Faculty Publications

We designed a redox apparatus that controls electropotenial (Eh), pH, and temperature. The apparatus is fully automated and can be assembled from equipment found in most soil analytical laboratories. The reactor can maintain environmental conditions used to evaluate the chemical fate of contaminants under natural conditions (natural attenuation) or adjust them to a new steady state to evaluate the effect of engineered remediation on a subsurface system. It can operate within a wide range of redox potential values (−400 to 400 mV) and at any pH value. The stability and accuracy of the instrument was tested by performing Eh-pH titrations …

Employment Expectation Profiles As A Differential Measure Of Employment-Relevant Attitudes Towards People With Disabilities, Michael J. Millington, D. Rosenthal, A. Lott Jan 1998

Employment Expectation Profiles As A Differential Measure Of Employment-Relevant Attitudes Towards People With Disabilities, Michael J. Millington, D. Rosenthal, A. Lott

Special Education and Rehabilitation Counseling Faculty Publications

The ability of the Employment Expectation Questionnaire-Beta version (EEQ-B) to differentially describe employment relevant attitudes towards people with disabilities was investigated. Labels of cognitive disability and gender were manipulated in an analog study. Respondents from a convenience sample of students read stimulus material concerning a job and job applicant and then rated the applicant's qualification for the job. A significant effect was found for disability, but not for gender or interaction effects. Post hoc contrasts suggest that labels of cognitive disability (mental retardation, mental illness, and traumatic brain injury) had a differential effect across the factors of the EEQ-B.

Fair Use And Privatization In Copyright, Stephen M. Mcjohn Jan 1998

Fair Use And Privatization In Copyright, Stephen M. Mcjohn

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

This Article argues for a broad conception of copyright's fair use doctrine. Economic reliance on property rules has led some to argue that fair use should be limited to cases where market failures do not permit licensing transactions. Otherwise, allocation of rights should be left to the market. This article takes the position that differences between real property and intellectual property undercut the application of the tragedy of the commons to the fair use setting. While real property is a limited resource, intellectual property is not. The same parcel of land may not support an unlimited number of grazing sheep. …

Recommendations For An Environmentally Sound Federal Policy On Western Water, Reed D. Benson Jan 1998

Recommendations For An Environmentally Sound Federal Policy On Western Water, Reed D. Benson

Faculty Scholarship

The organizations and individuals who have produced this report have worked for years to promote environmentally sound federal policy and action with respect to water in the American West. The Western Water Policy Review Advisory Commission's (the "Commission") evaluation of these issues presents an excellent opportunity to address long-standing concerns. We believe the Commission can help advance federal policy to promote sustainable use, management and protection of western waters. We begin with a brief look at current water problems in the West from our perspective. We then identify four general priorities for the federal government: taking steps toward restoring more …

Strengthening What Remains, Christine Zuni Cruz

Faculty Scholarship

This paper is intended to encourage discussion and stimulate action and thought as well as to support the ongoing work in tribal courts in this area. We are involved in an ongoing process of developing an indigenous body of law and system of justice. We must pay particular attention to how we are going about the development of our court systems and look closely at what is developing. Incorporating customary law, whether wholly or partially, into our developing legal systems makes them truly unique to our individual tribes and reflective of the concepts we, as Indian people, have of law …

Vicarious Liabiliy For Sexual Assault: The Two New Tests For Scope Of Employment In B.(P.A.) V. Curry And T.(G.) V. Griffiths, Sheila Wildeman Jan 1998

Vicarious Liabiliy For Sexual Assault: The Two New Tests For Scope Of Employment In B.(P.A.) V. Curry And T.(G.) V. Griffiths, Sheila Wildeman

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

Recently, Canadian courts have been divided on the issue of whether or in what conditions vicarious liability may be assigned for an employee's act of sexual assault. In particular, the controversy has focused upon the issue of the proper test for gauging whether a sexual assault may be deemed to have been committed within the scope of employment. The most radical new approach to scope of employment in the context of sexual assault has been that of the B.C. Court of Appeal in the case B.(P.A.) v. Curry and its companion judgment T.(G.) v. Griffiths. In B.(P.A.), the B.C. Court …

Swimming Against A Legal Current: A Critical Analysis Of The Pacific Salmon Treaty, Brent R.H. Johnston Jan 1998

Swimming Against A Legal Current: A Critical Analysis Of The Pacific Salmon Treaty, Brent R.H. Johnston

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

The 1985 Pacific Salmon Treaty between the United States and Canada was intended to establish ongoing cooperative management of the west coast salmon stocks. In recent years, however, disputes over Pacific salmon have recurred, and relations between the parties have become increasingly acrimonious. This paper critically reviews the Pacific Salmon Treaty and identifies aspects of the Treaty which tend to frustrate cooperative relations. From this analysis, it is concluded that concerns over long-term resource conservation and short-term resource allocation are poorly reconciled under the Treaty. Finally recommendations far improving the bilateral salmon management effort are outlined. *** Le Traité sur …

Mandatory Indeterminate Sentences Under Dangerous Offender Legislation, Jennifer J. Soward Jan 1998

Mandatory Indeterminate Sentences Under Dangerous Offender Legislation, Jennifer J. Soward

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

On September 17, 1996, Allan Rock, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and Herb Grey, Solicitor General of Canada, announced "tough new measures" to deal with dangerous offenders. These measures were introduced in Bill C-55, which received Royal Assent on April 15, 1997. The following comment focuses on only one significant change to the dangerous offender legislation. As part of these measures, the new section 753(4) of the Criminal Code removes a judge's discretion to award a determinate sentence once an accused is found to be a dangerous offender. This discretionary power is which existed in the former …

Implementation Of The 1996 Hazardous And Noxious Substances Convention: A Few Short Steps To Canadian Law, John Macdonald

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

Far more destructive than oil spills are spills of other hazardous and noxious substances (collectively "hazardous substances"). This is a comment on the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage o f Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, 1996. It is an international convention to apportion liability and facilitate compensation for victims of hazardous substances which was passed by the International Maritime Organization on May 1996. Canada became a signatory to the Convention on September 9, 1997. This comment will examine the history of the development of the HNS Convention, including the difficulties encountered …

Law And Language: An Empirically-Based Model For The Opening Moments Of Client Interviews, Gay Gellhorn Jan 1998

Law And Language: An Empirically-Based Model For The Opening Moments Of Client Interviews, Gay Gellhorn

Clinical Law Review

This paper presents a model for lawyer-client interaction in the opening moments of an initial encounter. The model is derived from empirical data- videotaped and transcribed law student-client and attorney-client first interviews- which demonstrate that clients reveal critical self-information in their opening words, regardless of when those words occur and regardless of the legal interviewer's role in eliciting them. This information usually is not acknowledged by legal interviewers, with negative consequences. Failure to hear and see affects the legal interviewer's ability to form a relationship with a client, to comprehend the full range of information the client needs to share, …

What If There Is No Client: Prosecutors As Counselors Of Crime Victims, Stacy Caplow Jan 1998

What If There Is No Client: Prosecutors As Counselors Of Crime Victims, Stacy Caplow

Clinical Law Review

As a teacher in a criminal practice-based clinic, I often feel like an eavesdropper on the discourse among clinicians about lawyering skills and professional values. Both the context of, and the language describing, criminal law practice, are sufficiently different from civil practice to make it difficult to teach many of the lessons and approaches developed in traditional texts used in clinical education, particularly those concerned with client-counseling. The dissonance between the sounds heard in a criminal and civil practice was loud when I was teaching a criminal defense clinic. When I moved on to teach an in-house prosecutor's clinic, the …

Creating True Believers: Putting Macro Theory Into Practice, Minna J. Kotkin Jan 1998

Creating True Believers: Putting Macro Theory Into Practice, Minna J. Kotkin

Clinical Law Review

In 1986, Robert Condlin published an article, now somewhat notorious in clinical circles, entitled "Tastes Great, Less Filling": The Law School Clinic and Political Critique. There he attacked in-house clinical programs for failing to provide a political critique of lawyering. Political critique, he suggested, requires a critical theory, defined as "views on the nature of a fair and just legal system and the role of lawyer practices in operating and improving it." The paramount goal of clinical instruction is such critique, and without it, clinics "will remain relegated to training tasks not considered important enough over the long run by …

Responding To The Value Imperative: Learning To Create Value In The Attorney-Client Relationship, Kenneth R. Margolis

Clinical Law Review

There is widespread agreement that law schools cannot do everything necessary to prepare students for the competent practice of law. Perhaps law schools are best suited to concentrate on basic legal skills and knowledge building a foundation for the more advanced skills and knowledge that every lawyer must possess in order to represent clients effectively. Even in clinical programs, there are limits to what can be taught to novice practitioners. How to relate to clients, basic factual investigation, fundamental legal research, how to prepare a simple statement to the court, how to plan for a negotiation - let alone the …
