The Development Of A Noncommercial Community Television Delivery System: A Model For Small Rural Community Colleges, Rudolf H. Timmerman Jan 1999

The Development Of A Noncommercial Community Television Delivery System: A Model For Small Rural Community Colleges, Rudolf H. Timmerman

Theses and Dissertations

Information can empower as well as unite people. A primary source of information was found to be the media, specifically television. The literature indicated that in rural areas the information provided by the media was not germane to the residents and, considering the rather broad mission of community colleges, the investigator proposed the development of a noncommercial television delivery system using the assets of the college. It was further hypothesized that this development could serve as a model for other rural colleges. While the literature supported the proposition that local television access had a positive effect on the community, little …

“Murder Not Then The Fruit Within My Womb”: Shakespeare’S Joan, Foxe’S Guernsey Martyr, And Women Pleading Pregnancy In Early Modern English History And Culture, Carole Levin Jan 1999

“Murder Not Then The Fruit Within My Womb”: Shakespeare’S Joan, Foxe’S Guernsey Martyr, And Women Pleading Pregnancy In Early Modern English History And Culture, Carole Levin

Quidditas

When the character Joan La Pucelle has been captured and is brought before Warwick and York to be condemned at the end of Shakespeare's 1 Henry VI, she at first denies her shepherd father and proclaims both her noble birth and her virginity. She claims that she is issue “from the progeny of kings; virtuous and holy,” and adds proudly, “Joan of Arc hath been a virgin from her tender infancy,/ Chaste and immaculate in very thought” (5.4.38–39, 50–51). These assertions do not, however, impress York and Warwick, who order her to be taken away to her execution. At …

2-(22, 8, 4) Designs Have No Blocks Of Type 3, Brendan Mckay, Stanislaw Radziszowski Jan 1999

2-(22, 8, 4) Designs Have No Blocks Of Type 3, Brendan Mckay, Stanislaw Radziszowski

Articles

Using computer algorithms we show that in any 2-(22,8,4) design there are no blocks of type 3, thus leaving as possible only types 1 and 2. Blocks of type 3, i.e. those which intersect two others in one point, are eliminated using the algorithms described in our previous paper. It was perhaps the second largest computation ever performed (after the solution to the RSA129 challenge), requiring more than a century of cpu time.

Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars With The Wiyn Telescope. I. Measures During 1997, Elliott P. Horch, Zoran Ninkov, William F. Van Altena, Reed D. Meyer, Terrence M. Girard, J. Gethyn Timothy Jan 1999

Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars With The Wiyn Telescope. I. Measures During 1997, Elliott P. Horch, Zoran Ninkov, William F. Van Altena, Reed D. Meyer, Terrence M. Girard, J. Gethyn Timothy

Articles

Two hundred seventy-seven position angle and separation measures of 154 double stars are presented. Three of the systems were previously unknown to be double, and 16 other systems were discovered earlier this decade by the Hipparcos satellite. Measures are derived from speckle observations taken with the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO (WIYN) 3.5 m telescope located at Kitt Peak, Arizona. Speckle images were obtained using two different imaging detectors, namely, a multianode microchannel array (MAMA) detector and a fast-readout CCD. A measurement precision study was performed on a sample of binaries with extremely well known orbits by comparing the measures obtained here to the …

The Type Ia Aupernova 1997br In Eso 576-G40, Weidong Li, Yulei Qiu, Q. Y. Qiao, Xiao-Hong Zhu, Michael W. Richmond, A. V. Filippenko, R. R. Treffers, C. Y. Peng, D. C. Leonard

Articles

The peculiar type Ia supernova SN 1997br in ESO576-G40 was extensively observed at Beijing Astronomical Observatory (BAO) and Lick Observatory. In this paper, we present and discuss the BV RI photometry and the spectra collected over three months, starting from 9 days before maximum brightness. The light curves of SN 1997br are similar to those of SN 1991T, with slow decline rates after the B maximum. Well sampled data before the B maximum show unambiguously that SN 1997br rises more slowly and has a wider peak than normal type Ia supernovae. The optical color evolution of SN 1997br is also …

Gay And Lesbian Pornography And The Obscenity Laws In Canada, Susan R. Taylor Jan 1999

Gay And Lesbian Pornography And The Obscenity Laws In Canada, Susan R. Taylor

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

The 1992 Supreme Court of Canada case of R. v. Butler articulated a new interpretation of "obscenity" under section 163(8) of the Criminal Code, which enables police officials, customs officers, and judges to prohibit the production, distribution, sale, and possession of obscene materials. In the aftermath of Butler, gay and lesbian pornography has been disproportionately targeted with the use of the test as set out in the Court's judgment. This paper explores the literature surrounding this issue in order to demonstrate the inadequacy of the test for obscenity when applied to gay and lesbian pornography. The author concludes that Butler …

Writing, Reflecting And Professionalism, Michael Meltsner Jan 1999

Writing, Reflecting And Professionalism, Michael Meltsner

Clinical Law Review

In this article, I present an approach to stimulating reflective writing that may interest law teachers looking to raise issues of professional values and clinicians seeking an alternative to the use of openended journal writing. The students whose experience will be described were enrolled in an experimental course on the legal profession, but the method employed may work equally well in a variety of clinical settings, whether externship or in-house clinics, or for that matter in other law school courses.

Narrative And Client-Centered Representation: What Is A True Believer To Do When His Two Favorite Theories Collide?, John B. Mitchell Jan 1999

Narrative And Client-Centered Representation: What Is A True Believer To Do When His Two Favorite Theories Collide?, John B. Mitchell

Clinical Law Review

By nature I am a somewhat skeptical person. I do not trust much of what is in the papers, except perhaps the box scores contained in the sports section. Nor am I tempted to send away $19.95 plus shipping and handling for some cream which, when rubbed over the surface of my faded and rust-pitted car, is promised to magically restore the paint to its original condition. Yet when it comes to theories of Narrative and Client-Centered Representation, I believe with all my heart and soul. In fact, it is probably fair to say that these theories provide the two …

Unwritten Laws And Customs, Local Legal Cultures, And Clinical Legal Education, Andrea M. Seielstad Jan 1999

Unwritten Laws And Customs, Local Legal Cultures, And Clinical Legal Education, Andrea M. Seielstad

Clinical Law Review

As a clinical teacher I have the opportunity each semester to witness third-year law students discover, in many cases for the first time in their lives, what it means to be a practitioner of law. Through representation of real clients, student interns have the opportunity to engage in a variety of typical lawyering activities, such as interviewing and counseling of clients and witnesses, case planning, preparation of written pleadings and other documents, negotiation, and trial advocacy. Informed by a law school education that emphasizes the litigation process and the study of the written law, including certain areas of substantive law …

Milan And The Development And Dissemination Of Il Ballo Nobile: Lombardy As The Terpsichorean Treasury For Early Modern European Courts, Katherine Tucker Mcginnis

Quidditas

"Le mosche d'Italia in una poppa, Volando in Francia, per verder i ragni...." In these lines, titled "Di Pompeo Diabone," the Milanese artist and poet Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo celebrated the Italian dancing masters who, lured like flies to the web of the spider, served in the courts of France. In the sixteenth century there were many Italians in France, including a large number of influential and prosperous dancing masters. In spite of obvious connections with Florence via Catherine de’ Medici, the majority came from Lombardy, an area long considered the center of il ballo nobile, the formalized social …

Examination Of Signals Involved In Dexamethasone Induced Apoptosis In Nb2 Lymphoma Cells, Suhas Badarinath Jan 1999

Examination Of Signals Involved In Dexamethasone Induced Apoptosis In Nb2 Lymphoma Cells, Suhas Badarinath

Theses and Dissertations

Consistent with previous studies, we demonstrated that dexamethasone (Dex) caused cytolysis/apoptosis in log phase Nb2 lymphoma cells, while prolactin (Prl) inhibited this effect. The Nb2 model was used to investigate the mechanisms of apoptosis control with the aid of immunocytochemistry (ICC). We established with absorption the specificity of staining due to Fas, Fas Ligand, Bcl-2, and Bax antibodies (the specificity of anti-p53 could not be verified). Dex-induced cytolysis/apoptosis was detected in synchronized (G⁰/G¹) cells after 6 and 8 hours of Dex exposure. A novel, computerized technique was used to quantitate the proportion of cells immunostained for the signals of interest …

Partnerships That Work: National Service And Business In Welfare To Work, Robert J. Keast Jan 1999

Partnerships That Work: National Service And Business In Welfare To Work, Robert J. Keast

Partnerships/Community

Welfare-to-work has come to the fore of the social policy debate in recent years. This especially has been the case since the enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA). PRWORA significantly altered over 60 years of American welfare policy by creating a public assistance program with the aim of replacing public sector welfare checks with private sector paychecks. In order to reach this goal, time limits on receipt of assistance as well as stronger work requirements have become central in moving people from welfare and into work.

In Memoriam: Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr.—A Tribute, Kenneth F. Ripple Jan 1999

In Memoriam: Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr.—A Tribute, Kenneth F. Ripple

Journal Articles

In remembering Justice Powell, my memory invariably recalls three distinct images from the years I spent at the Supreme Court. Two of these memories are from my own work with him. The other is from my observation of him on the bench. In the days since his death this past autumn, all three have sparked a great deal of reflection about his enduring contribution to our jurisprudence and to our profession.

Interpersonal Solidarity In Relationships: A Cultural Analysis Of Lawyers Vs. Sports Agents, Andrea L. Cairns Jan 1999

Interpersonal Solidarity In Relationships: A Cultural Analysis Of Lawyers Vs. Sports Agents, Andrea L. Cairns

Masters Theses

The cultural affects on relationship solidarity and satisfaction in relationships between lawyers and their clients, and sports agents and their professional athlete clients was examined. The results were gathered through a process of correlation tests and frequency report tables. All four groups of subjects were asked to complete a twenty questions survey which contained variables such as interpersonal solidarity, relational satisfaction, and communicative patterns of interaction. The results indicated that the two types of relationships are adversely co-dependent with respect to self-disclosure and it's relationship to interpersonal solidarity within a client-agent relationship.
