The Globalization Of Production And The Changing Benefits Of Conquest, Stephen Brooks

Dartmouth Scholarship

This article examines the conditions under which conquest is likely to reap significant economic rewards. Scholars have largely focused on how the level of popular resistance within the vanquished country influences the benefits of conquest. What needs to be scrutinized in greater depth is how post–World War II economic transformations within the most advanced countries affect the benefits of conquest. This article focuses on examining one particular economic change that has been neglected for the most part in the secu- rity and peace literature: the globalization of production. The article delineates four recent changes in the structure of global production …

Impact Of Heterogeneity On Dsm Performance, Renato J. O.. Figueiredo, José A. B. Fortes

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This paper explores area/parallelism tradeoffs in the design of distributed shared-memory (DSM) multiprocessors built out of large single-chip computing nodes. In this context, area-efficiency arguments motivate a heterogeneous organization consisting of few nodes with large caches designed for single-thread parallelism, and a larger number of nodes with smaller caches designed jror multi-thread parallelism. This paper quantitatively studies the performance of such organization for a set of homogent: ous multiprocessor programs from the SPLASH-2 benchmark suite. These programs are mapped onto the heterogeneous processors without source code modifications via static thread a.ssignment policies. A constant-area simulation analysis shows that a 4-node …

Queueing Analysis With Gaussian Inputs Including Srd, Lrd, And Self-Similar Processes, Jinwoo Choe, Ness B. Shroff

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this paper we study the supremum distribution of a general class of Gaussian processes {Xt : t 2 0) having stationary increments. This distribution is directly related to the steady state queue length distribution of a queueing system, and hence its study is also important for various applications including communication network analysis. Our study is based on Extreme Value Theory and we show that logP({supt,, - Xt > x)) + m,/2 asymptotically grows at most (on the order of) logx, where m, corresponds to the reciprocal of' the maximum (normalized) variance of Xt. This result is considerably stronger than the …

Citizen Soldiers: The North Carolina Volunteers And The War On Poverty, Robert R. Korstad, James L. Leloudis

Law and Contemporary Problems

During the summers of 1964 and 1965, more than 300 college students fanned out across the state of North Carolina in a bold campaign to defeat poverty and, as they saw it, to uplift the poor. Korstad and Leloudis trace the history of the North Carolina Fund's Volunteers program, provide an analysis of the contribution that those students made to fighting poverty in the state, and evaluate the impact of that experience on the lives of the Volunteers themselves.

Vincent In Translation, Marie Poole D.C.

Vincentian Studies

The Vincent Translation Project began in 1973 with the goal of producing “a modern American English edition of the extant works” of Vincent de Paul. Marie Poole explains the way the project is conducted, its challenges, and its contributions to scholarship. It is particularly through Vincent’s correspondence that we understand who he was as a person. Poole describes his time and his personality, especially as the latter was impacted by his Gascon heritage. She also specifies his relevance for many types of people today.

The Best And The Brightest?: Canadian Law School Admissions, Dawna Tong, W. Wesley Pue

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article assesses the admissions policies commonly employed by law faculties in common law Canada. These faculties rely heavily on admissions criteria and policies developed in the United States and, like their American counterparts, typically admit students on the basis of "index scores" produced by combining Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) performance with Undergraduate Grade Point Average (UGPA). The appropriateness of this American model to the Canadian context has never been rigorously assessed. This raises serious questions as to whether Canadian law school admissions policies serve either of their stated goals of finding the "best" students or of advancing social …

The Internet Name Game And The Nonprofit Solution, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

This paper is a case study of the campaign to create a new internet names authority to handle the assignment of internet domain names. Almost everyone knows by now that the Internet was originally a defense research project, which morphed into a research network for scientists and then into a tool of higher education and eventually into the commercial and general household utility we know today. In terms familiar to nonprofit research community what began in the state sector, expanded into the third sector and then into the market and household sectors and the consumer economy. There is a second …

Bacterial Magnetosomes: Microbiology, Biomineralization And Biotechnological Applications, Dirk Schlϋer, Richard B. Frankel

Physics

Magnetotactic bacteria orient and migrate along geomagnetic field lines. This ability is based on intracellular magnetic structures, the magnetosomes, which comprise nanometer-sized, membrane-bound crystals of the magnetic iron minerals magnetite (Fe₃O₄) or greigite (Fe₃O₄). Magnetosome formation is achieved by a mineralization process with biological control over the accumulation of iron and the deposition of the mineral particle with specific size and orientation within a membrane vesicle at specific locations in the cell. This review focuses on the current knowledge about magnetotactic bacteria and will outline aspects of the physiology and molecular biology …
