The Erorsion Of Refugee Rights In Australia: Two Proposed Amendments To The Migration Act, Andrew N. Langham

Washington International Law Journal

The Australian government has proposed two amendments to the Migration Act. The first excludes judicial review of administrative determinations in the immigration context. The second severely limits how and when detained refugees can access information regarding their rights as asylum seekers. Refugees arrive in Australia vulnerable and wholly ignorant of the legal system, and must make their claims for asylum in a politically hostile atmosphere. Current immigration laws protect the integrity of the system by making judicial review of immigration determinations possible in some cases and by giving refugees access to information on the refugee determination process. The proposed amendments …

A New Model Of The Business School/Student Relationship And An Example Of Its Implementation, Leon Winer

Faculty Working Papers and Articles

Business schools have used two models of their relationship with students: student as product and student as customer. Neither is satisfactory because neither leads to the development of skills and networks that students need for success in business. A model of "Student as Achiever" is proposed and its implications are discussed. For preparing students to be achievers, Experiential Learning and Authentic Learning methods show promise as being superior to the traditional lecture method. End-of-term surveys show that students place the highest value on the most authentic learning experience, and that the value assigned to exams increases when the exams are …

Editing Willa Cather: Defining The Territory, Susan J. Rosowski

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

But before telling about this work, I shall describe the structure of the project, which is collaborative in its conception and design. To ensure high quality and productivity, we have concentrated textual editing at the University of Nebraska. My colleague in the English Department, Charles Mignon, has been with the project from its beginning, and Fred Link, former chair of the English Department and director of University of Nebraska Press, joined the project shortly before he retired and has continued with it as a professor emeritus. Both brought editorial expertise to the project, one editing Edward Taylor, the other Restoration …

Recent Editions--September 1999

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

This quarterly feature provides an annotated bibliography of current documentary editions on subjects in the fields of American and English history, literature, and culture. It is generally restricted to first editions of works edited from manuscript and published in English, with occasional exceptions. A separate annual list of other scholarship and literature published by members of the Association will also be compiled if interest warrants it.

On The Semivalues And The Power Core Of Cooperative Tu Games, Juan-Enrique Martínez-Legaz, Irinel C. Dragan

Mathematics Technical Papers - Archive

The Semivalues were introduced axiomatically by P.Dubey, A.Neyman and R.J.Weber (1981) as an important class of values for cooperative TU games. This class contains the Shapley value, the Banzhaf value, and many other values. For the Shapley value characterizations of games for which the Shapley value is coalitionally rational are due to Inarra and Usategui (1993), Izawa and Takahashi (1998), and Marin-Solano and Rafels (1999). In this paper the same problem of coalitional rationality is discussed for Semivalues, by using special formulas for the computation of Semivalues. The characterization shows that this is a prosperity property as defined by Van …

Diet Preference, Competition And Learning In A Cloud Forest Hummingbird Community, September 1999, Meg Seifert, Ambrose Tuscano

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The purpose of this study was to determine hummingbird preference between protein and higher sugar concentrations, and how any preference affects competition and memory. We hung three sets of three feeders in triangular patterns and observed hummingbird visits and interactions. We also, noted solitary feedings on the days directly following both site establishment and feeder rotation. Our results showed that there was an overall preference for the feeder with higher sugar concentration, that larger species and newcomers were generally dominant and that birds did not take longer to learn the values of established leaders that had been rotated than feeders …

Edge Effects On Tropical Bird Nest Predation In Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 1999, Kristin C. Young

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Disturbances to continuous forest such as roads or cleared patches of land often cause forest fragmentation. Resulting tracts of forest are often too small to support populations of top predators. As a result of this, mesopredators populations are left unchecked and increase to unnatural abundances. One consequence of this is increased predation on tropical bird nests, which may put them at risk for extinction. I constructed 120 artificial bird nests and placed two quail eggs in each nest. Nests were situated along 12 transect lines that ran into the forest, perpendicular to a road in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Predation was …

Reproductive Strategies Of A Population Of Besleria Princeps In The Monteverde Cloud Forest, September 1999, Katie Obegi

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

In this study I looked at reproductive strategies of Besleria princeps (Gesneriaceae). I took population sex ratios from 100 randomly chosen plants over a nine day period and found that individual flowers as well as the population as a whole were protandrous. There was a significant difference in the ratios of males to females from day one to day two. This protandrous system promotes outbreeding thereby reducing the negative effects of inbreeding. In a separate group of plants, I bagged 94 individuals including 162 buds. When the buds opened, I noted their sex and separated them into groups in which …

Structural And Chemical Changes In Leaves Of Cecropia (Cecropiaceae) With Plant Age, September 1999, James J. Garnsey

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Many tropical plants show age-related morphological and chemical changes that are adaptive to a particular environment. Generally, leaves of young plants have drip tips and increased secondary compounds while leaves of mature plants lack drip tips and are tougher. Cecropia polyphlebia and Cecropia obtusifolia are common pioneer tree species in Monteverde, Costa Rica that exhibit morphological and chemical changes with age. Here, I study how water content, herbivory, toughness and concentration of alkaloids change in the leaves of Cecropia as the plants age. Leaves from young, medium and mature aged plants were collected from gaps near the Estación Biológica Monteverde …

Vertical Niche Partitioning Between Gray-Breasted Wood-Wrens (Henicorhina-Leucophrys) And Ochraceous Wrens (Troglodytes Ochraceus), September 1999, Margaret Cronholm

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The study of competition is important because the presence of one of the competing species reduces the fitness of the other; therefore, one of the species eventually will go extinct. This leads to the idea that all species must occupy different niches in order to coexist. Theories on niche partitioning in tropical forests have become important in order to explain their immense species richness and biodiversity. Two very similar species in the Monteverde area are the Gray-breasted Wood-Wren (Henicorhina leucophrys) and the Ochraceous Wren (Troglodytes ochraceus). These sympatric species are both foliage gleaners and are often found together in insectivorous …

Vertical Stratification In Color Complexes Of Ithomiine (Nymphalidae) Butterflies, September 1999, Elizabeth Levitt

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Ithomiine (Nymphalidae) butterflies are vertically stratified by color pattern in neotropical forests. Each of the five color patterns recognized represents a mimicry complex of several sympatric species. Vertical stratification between color complexes of Ithomiines has been attributed to crypticity and host plant stratification. Here, I study stratification between the clearwing and golden-translucent complexes in Monteverde, Costa Rica. As in other studies, clearwings tend to fly lower than golden-translucents. Host plants do not correspond well to flight heights for these species, however. Within complexes species are also vertically stratified with most similar species tending to separate, possibly to aid in mate …
