The Delegation Of Federal Power To International Organizations: New Problems With Old Solutions, Julian G. Ku

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

This Article investigates the constitutional -basis for objections to United States participation in important international organizations like the WTO and the UN. The somewhat surprising conclusion is that the inchoate rage of the Seattle protestors has greater constitutional substance than most academic commentators would like to admit. Some international organizations have begun to acquire real powers from the federal government, and the future growth of international organizations is likely to support this trend. Moreover, the nature of these transfers raises serious constitutional doubts that the currently accepted view of constitutional interpretation cannot adequately address.

This Article proposes a framework for …

Personhood, Discrimination, And The New Genetics, Janet L. Dolgin

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Decoding the human genome and identifying genetic sequences may provide, among other things, for the production of individually tailored drugs, for medicines without side effects, and perhaps eventually for gene therapy that will replace dysfunctional genes with genes that preclude or cure illness." But, the same developments threaten society with the potential for devastating biological accidents, with broad invasions of individual and communal privacy, and with "genetic" bigotry and the revival of eugenic policies.

Behind the concrete promises and threats that attend the new genetics lies another sort of change-more subtle than those more usually, and more easily, described and …

"Externalities And Other Parasites." Review Of The Strategic Constitution, By R. D. Cooter, And Constitutional Democracy, By D. C. Mueller, Donald J. Herzog

Reviews

I shall argue that despite the occasional and charmingly belligerent pose struck by some economists of offering a superior alternative to conventional moral and political theory, economics is covertly parasitic on that theory. I begin in Part I by describing some of the core features of economic analysis and by disclosing my own sentiments about that analysis. The description will be terse, the disclosure partial. My aim is to identify, but certainly not pretend to resolve, some thorny methodological issues that surface in these two books. As for the disclosure, well, even if full disclosure were possible, which I doubt, …

The First Bite Is Free: Employer Liability For Sexual Harassment, Joanna L. Grossman

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In June, 1998, the Supreme Court issued two decisions, Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton that established new standards for employer liability for sexual harassment. Although the two cases presented different questions and factual predicates, the Court adopted a unified holding with respect to employer liability for supervisor harassment. Many commentators interpreted the new standards as a blow to employers based on the perception that employers would now be held accountable for workplace harassment without regard to their culpability.

The thesis of this article is that the conventional wisdom with respect to Faragher and …

Nutritional Assessment Of Rural Mossi People In Burkina Faso: A Comparison Of Pre- And Post-Harvest Status, Tamara Michelle Wood

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to compare the nutritional status of a rural population of Mossi people in Burkina Faso during the pre- and post-harvest seasons. Comparisons were made between the sample population and the American population, between the pre- and post-harvest seasons, between males and females in the sample population and between the various age groups in the sample population.

This nutritional assessment consisted of collecting demographical information, anthropometrical measurements such as weight and height, a clinical assessment to evaluate physiological signs of nutritional deficiencies and a food frequency questionnaire to describe the dietary practices of the population. …

Direct And Indirect Effects Of Herbivores On Nitrogen Dynamics: Voles In Riparian Areas, J M. Sirotnak, Nancy J. Huntly

Biology Faculty Publications

Herbivores can directly increase nitrogen mobility by increasing the quality of organic matter entering the decomposition cycle, but they also may decrease nitrogen mobility by decreasing the biomass of high-nitrogen species in the plant community. We assessed effects of voles (Microtus) on nitrogen dynamics using exclosures in two riparian meadows (Crystal Bench and Blacktail Deer Creek) in Yellowstone National Park (USA). At both sites, the quantity of plant litter was decreased by herbivory following a vole population peak in 1992. At Crystal Bench, removal of voles caused a decrease in the nitrogen concentration and an increase in the C:N ratio …
