Quality Assurance Standards For Convicted Offender Dna Databasing Laboratories, Federal Bureau Of Investigation

Blood Evidence and DNA

Standards for government DNA databasing labs put forth by the FBI that were in place at time of the 2000 trial. These quality assurance (QA) standards address proper sample handling, validation, analytical procedure, and calibration, as well as standards of laboratory organization, personnel certification, and management.

Bifurcations Of Consciousness: The Elimination Of The Self-Induced Intoxication Excuse, Derrick Augustus Carter

Missouri Law Review

In early American and English common law, intoxication evidence did not excuse or mitigate criminal behavior.! Any person who destroyed his or her volition through intoxication was equally as culpable as a sober person for the legal consequences of a self-induced vice.2 Voluntary drunkenness aggravated, rather than reduced, criminal liability

Constructions Of Client Competence And Theories Of Practice, Robert Rubinson

All Faculty Scholarship

An entrenched stereotype about the elderly is that they inevitably experience a progressive decline in cognitive function - what the Article calls the "idea of decrement." The vast majority of elderly, however, do not experience declining competence for most or all of their lives. Nevertheless, attorneys interpret much of what elderly clients say and do as the product of cognitive impairment, and sometimes even the elderly themselves construct stories about the world and their circumstances in line with the idea of decrement. These attitudes and social constructions, interacting in complex ways, can distort the ability of attorneys to represent elderly …

Greater Prairie-Chicken Harvest In Kansas: Early Vs. Regular Seasons, Francis E. Durbian, Iii, Elmer J. Finck, Roger D. Applegate

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Remnant populations of the greater prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) in Kansas are managed to maintain population size while providing recreational hunting potential. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the effect of adding an early hunting season (late September-October) to the regular season (November-late January). We compared the hunting methods used and the harvest of greater prairie chickens during early and regular hunting seasons for 1990-91 and 1991-92. The use of dogs and walkup hunting techniques were emphasized in early season, whereas pass shooting in feeding fields was emphasized in the regular season. During early season, …

Nonagricultural Benefits Of Windbreaks In Kansas, Ted T. Cable

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This paper reviews the evidence for nonagricultural benefits of windbreaks in the Great Plains. Windbreaks may provide recreational opportunities, scenic beauty, fuelwood, and wildlife habitat in addition to agricultural benefits. Quantitative studies demonstrate that windbreaks on the Great Plains provides important wildlife habitat for woodland edge species, substantial opportunities for recreation, a potentially important source of fuelwood, and enhanced scenic beauty.

Review Of Ecology And Conservation Of Great Plains Vertebrates Edited By Fritz L. Knopf And Fred B. Samson, Rolf Koford

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Focusing on the plight of natural ecosystems in the Great Plains, Fritz Knopf and Fred Samson give prominent coverage to the region's “charismatic megafauna" and provide an excellent overview of the ecology and conservation of most vertebrate taxa. The editors granted their individual authors considerable leeway, resulting in contributions that are authoritative but unintegrated with each other. For example, in the Preface and most of the chapters, the Great Plains includes the tall grass prairie as well as the short and mixed grass prairie traditionally associated with the Great Plains region. In chapters on wetlands and fishes, tall grass prairie …

Review Of Capturing Women: The Manipulation Of Cultural Imagery In Canada's Prairie West By Sarah Carter, Catherine Cavanaugh

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Capturing Women, an extended essay examining the role of Indian captivity narratives in racializing prairie society, is a welcome addition to prairie history, which has been particularly resistant to gender and race analysis. In this small volume Sarah Carter takes up both of these subjects in the context of nineteenth-century imperialism. Beginning with a close reading of Two Months in the Camp of Big Bear: The Life and Adventures of Theresa Gowanlock and Theresa Delany, she shows how captivity narrative was used to reestablish white male authority in the aftermath of what has become known as the Second …

The Platte River Cooperative Agreement: A Basin-Wide Approach To Endangered Species Issue, Allan Jenkins

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This paper reviews current endangered species issues associated with the development of the Platte River and the "Cooperative Agreement for Platte River Research and Other Efforts Relating to Endangered Species Habitats." The Platte River is an important economic resource, providing water essential for irrigation in a highly productive, but semiarid, agricultural region. However, the Middle Platte region of south central Nebraska is also recognized as a critical environmental zone for several endangered species. Thus, Platte River water users are subject to the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. In 1994, the Governors of Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming agreed to work …

Review Of Cowbirds And Other Brood Parasites By Catherine P. Ortega, Paul Porneluzi

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Your attitude toward cowbirds and other brood parasites may be largely influenced by the nature of your experience with them. If your primary contact with brood parasites occurs when they appear with the host species you are watching, studying, or researching, it is easy to side with those who have characterized cowbirds as feathered wretches, social outcasts, arch villains, or pests of the highest order. If the focus of your attention is on cowbirds themselves, however, you may be more likely to view them as highly adapted, fascinating components of the ecosystem. If you are not already in the second …

Review Of The Origins Of Native Americans: Evidence From Anthropological Genetics By Michael H. Crawford, Theodore Schurr

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Since the presentation of the tripartite model of Native American languages, genes, and cultures by Joseph H. Greenberg and others (1986), there have been few attempts to synthesize anthropological genetic data from New World populations to evaluate various models of the peopling of the Americas. Although offering no new theoretical paradigm to explain the observed patterns of biological diversity in the New World, The Origins of Native Americans presents a thorough review of the current genetic data from Siberian and Native American populations. Rather than taking an explicitly historical view of these anthropological genetic studies, the book instead examines the …

Review Of Swallow Summer By Charles R. Brown, Paul A. Johnsgard

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

There are increasingly two types of professional modern biologists. One likes to subdivide and macerate the organism being studied into its smallest possible components, preferably to the size of molecules, and asks questions that are largely chemical in nature. Such biologists work in high tech, air-conditioned labs, get grants large enough to match their egos, and dream of Nobel Prizes. They go to work in nice clothes and even nicer cars, rarely leaving the city limits. The other, increasingly rare, type likes to study an organism in the context of its broadest environmental components, preferably the size of its ecosystem, …

Acorn Foraging As A Means To Explore Human Energetics And Forge Connections To Local Forests, Jeffrey J. Gerwing, Pamela Lockwood, Christopher Uhl

Environmental Science and Management Faculty Publications and Presentations

Jeffrey Gerwing, Pamela Lockwood, and Christopher Uhl describe a rather unusual ecology laboratory/field exercise that utilizes abundant oak habitats of central Pennsylvania. For those readers not blessed with an abundant supply of oaks nearby, perhaps other species could be substituted. The exercise is unusual in two ways. It offers a new undergraduate ecology activity, and it offers opportunities for students to relate other disciplines to their science course.

In "the good old days" of higher education each discipline offered its menu of courses and expected students to make appropriate connections among the courses of their major, minor, and general education. …

Particle Trajectories In An Indian Ocean Model And Sensitivity To Seasonal Forcing, Meredith A. Haines, Rana A. Fine, Mark E. Luther, Zaihua Ji

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Trajectory experiments in a thermocline layer of an Indian Ocean model are used to investigate the role of different meridional transport mechanisms and quantify spreading pathways and rates under different forcing. Particles are introduced along two boundaries: the south Indian Ocean at 30 degrees S and the Indonesian Throughflow. Particles are advected horizontally within the layer by archived model velocity fields (1/3 degrees X 1/3 degrees resolution) for a period of 50 years. The velocity fields are the result of forcing the model by monthly mean climatology (case A). The distribution of particles within the Tropics suggests efficient ater mass …
