Psychology In Custody Litigation, Petra Smith Jan 1999

Psychology In Custody Litigation, Petra Smith

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Historically, American divorce law across the various states was based upon the moral concept of fault. The uniform presumption in a divorce case was that the perpetrator spouse owed some type of compensation to the victim spouse. Of course, this gave rise to very spectacular, but often unnecessary, litigation. Throughout the years, with the growing number of divorce cases across the country, it became obvious that such litigation had a deleterious effect on the family, especially when children were involved. Thus, in an effort to address this problem, the concept of no-fault divorce began in California in 1969, with the …


Nichiren’S Risshō Ankoku Ron And Canon Formation, William E. Deal Jan 1999

Nichiren’S Risshō Ankoku Ron And Canon Formation, William E. Deal

Faculty Scholarship

Regardless of his own stated purpose or expected outcome for the Risshõ ankoku ron, one of Nichiren’s accomplishments in writing this treatise was the articulation of a canon, that is, a list of texts that were deemed true and authoritative from his perspective, as distinguished from other writings that were not. This essay explores the process of canon formation in Nichiren Buddhism, focusing on the structure and argument of the Risshõ ankoku ron. Noting five notions present in the process of canon formation, namely, selectivity, hierarchy, closure, orthodoxy, and legitimation, it examines the particular way these elements are manifest in …

Dynamical System Representation Of Open Address Hash Functions, Chaouki T. Abdallah, Gregory L. Heileman, Bernard M. Moret, Bradley J. Smith Jan 1999

Dynamical System Representation Of Open Address Hash Functions, Chaouki T. Abdallah, Gregory L. Heileman, Bernard M. Moret, Bradley J. Smith

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper demonstrates how a broad collection of hash function families can be expressed as dynamical systems. We then show that this representation can be useful for analysis. In particular, we provide an analysis which proves that a widely-used family of double hash functions will transform any initial distribution of keys into the uniform distribution over the table space.


Advances In The Control Of A “Smart Tube” High Power Backward Wave Oscillator, Chaouki T. Abdallah, E. Schamiloglu, G.T. Park, V.S. Soualian, F. Hegeler Jan 1999

Advances In The Control Of A “Smart Tube” High Power Backward Wave Oscillator, Chaouki T. Abdallah, E. Schamiloglu, G.T. Park, V.S. Soualian, F. Hegeler

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Previous accomplishments pertaining to the control of various parameters of an intense beam-driven relativistic backward wave oscillator (BWO) include maintaining a specified or desired output power over a determined frequency bandwidth, and maintaining a constant frequency over a wide range of power. This was accomplished using an iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm that yielded the appropriate input variables for the electron beam, as well as the appropriate displacement of the slow wave structure from the cutoff neck. A problem of much greater complexity is the simultaneous control of both frequency and power, involving the independent mapping of both power and …


Boundaries And Possibilities Of Humanistic Higher Education In The Late Holy Roman Empire, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1999

Boundaries And Possibilities Of Humanistic Higher Education In The Late Holy Roman Empire, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

English original of a conference paper whose purpose is not to say much significantly new about "graduates of European artistic faculties" 16-18 Centuries, but to point out boundaries of meaning about what scholars do discover. Perhaps by deconstructing and analyzing such heuristic categories of "professional studies", "units of socialization" and the "certification of knowledge" we can gain new insights into the great transformation that universities were beginning to undergo already in the last centuries of the Holy Roman Empire.
