Sentenced To Purgatory: The Indefinite Detention Of Mariel Cubans, Yvette M. Mastin Jan 2000

Sentenced To Purgatory: The Indefinite Detention Of Mariel Cubans, Yvette M. Mastin

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

Indefinite detention of Cuban immigrants is unconstitutional. Immigrants detained in American jails are being treated the same as individuals serving criminal sentences or awaiting disposition of their cases. Congress should, therefore, create a mandatory and uniform system of procedural due process. The system should be modeled after the procedural due process system established by the Kansas Legislature in the Kansas Sexually Violent Predator Act of 1994.  Although the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to rule on the indefinite detention of the Mariel Cubans, lower courts have held that the indefinite detention of Mariel Cubans does not violate the Constitution. Nonetheless, …

There Is A Lot To Be Repaired Before We Get To Reparations: A Critique Of The Underlying Issues Of Race That Impact The Fate Of African American Reparations, Art Alcausin Hall Jan 2000

There Is A Lot To Be Repaired Before We Get To Reparations: A Critique Of The Underlying Issues Of Race That Impact The Fate Of African American Reparations, Art Alcausin Hall

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

Reparations are vital to enfranchise a group historically denied access to the opportunities required to enjoy the civil and political rights every United States citizen possesses. However, before African Americans will receive reparations, underlying issues of race must be resolved. The United States has provided reparations for some domestic groups, as well as support for at least one international group. Unfortunately, neither the Supreme Court, nor Congress seems willing to grant the same relief to African Americans. Because of this, outside of small settings and academic arenas, little debate has occurred. The resulting stalemate reveals underlying problems that stem from …

Immunity Of Volunteer Health Care Providers In Texas: Bartering Legal Rights For Free Medical Care Comment, Gwendolyn Pulido Jan 2000

Immunity Of Volunteer Health Care Providers In Texas: Bartering Legal Rights For Free Medical Care Comment, Gwendolyn Pulido

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

Texas should not rely on Congress to cure the problem of indigent access to healthcare. Despite recent proposals to create a unified healthcare system, the United States continues to allow the welfare of its poor citizens to ride the wave of the free market. Unlike the U.S., several international declarations have acknowledged the inherent human right to healthcare including the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United Nations’ adoption of the Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (The Covenant). Despite the recognition of a right to healthcare, there is still no …

Browsers Beware: Avoiding Legal Entanglements On The Internet, Michael Zugelder, Theresa Flaherty, James Johnson Jan 2000

Browsers Beware: Avoiding Legal Entanglements On The Internet, Michael Zugelder, Theresa Flaherty, James Johnson

Finance Faculty Publications

When Chicago resident David Loundy ordered a compact disk on the Internet from a British Web site, he received an e-mail confirming his order. Loundy expected to pay the advertised price of £8.99, or about $14. When he was subsequently charged £12.99, Loundy was incensed. He argued that he had accepted the set price of £8.99 and insisted that he pay no more for the disk. But when Loundy filed suit in England under the Consumer Protection Act of 1987, he was told that the Act did not apply to him because, under English common law, the place of the …

Political Questions, Judicial Questions, And The Problem Of Washington V. Glucksberg, Carl E. Schneider Jan 2000

Political Questions, Judicial Questions, And The Problem Of Washington V. Glucksberg, Carl E. Schneider

Other Publications

Over a century and a half ago, Alexis de Tocqueville famously said, "Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question." Physician-assisted suicide superbly illustrates Tocqueville's acute observation. For a number of years, assisted suicide was the prototype of a (nonpartisan) political question. Interest groups brought it to public attention. Public discussion of it flourished. Legislatures debated it. Citizens in several states decided in referenda whether to make it legal. Almost suddenly, however, this classic political process was transformed into a judicial one by the startling and strongly stated …

Host And Parasite Interactions Among Three Symbionts: Pocket Gophers, Chewing Lice, And Endosymbiotic Bacteria., David Lee Reed Jan 2000

Host And Parasite Interactions Among Three Symbionts: Pocket Gophers, Chewing Lice, And Endosymbiotic Bacteria., David Lee Reed

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study investigates the patterns of cophylogeny documented between pocket gophers (Rodentia: Geomyidae) and their ectoparasitic chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae). The first two chapters investigate the mechanisms that reinforce cospeciation in this system. Chapter one examines whether mammalian hair diameter is a resource tracked by chewing lice, and thus reinforces the patterns of cospeciation. I found that hair diameter of pocket gophers is correlated with gopher body size and the body size of the ectoparasitic chewing lice. Hair diameter also is correlated with size of the rostral groove, which chewing lice use to grasp hair shafts of pocket gophers. In …

Chemical Vapor Deposition Of Copper Metal Using Copper(Hexafluoroacetylacetonate)(2) Alcohol Adducts., Hui Fan Jan 2000

Chemical Vapor Deposition Of Copper Metal Using Copper(Hexafluoroacetylacetonate)(2) Alcohol Adducts., Hui Fan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A series of alcohol adducts of Cu(hfac)2 (Cu(hfac)2·ROH, where hfac- = hexafluoroacetylacetonate and ROH = C1, C2, C3, C4 alcohols) were synthesized as precursors for CVD of Cu metal. The low melting points of some Cu(hfac)2·ROH adducts allowed them to be used as liquid precursors at the common precursor evaporation temperature (ca. 80°C). Metallic Cu films were obtained using most of these compounds as precursors under either H2 or N2 mixed with the corresponding alcohol vapor. The details of each CVD reaction were studied by IR analysis of byproducts and electrical and thickness measurements on the resulting films. A reaction …

A Domesticated Landscape: Native American Plant Cultivation On The Northwest Coast Of North America., Douglas Eugene Deur Jan 2000

A Domesticated Landscape: Native American Plant Cultivation On The Northwest Coast Of North America., Douglas Eugene Deur

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

By all accounts, the peoples of the Northwest Coast of North America did not cultivate plants at the time of European contact. This dissertation provides an interdisciplinary assessment of evidence to the contrary, and presents a critique of the literature from which this orthodoxy has been derived. As a primary line of evidence, this thesis describes estuarine gardens found on this coast during the contact period. Northwest Coast peoples created gardens of Pacific silverweed (Potentilla anserina ssp. pacifica), springbank clover (Trifolium wormskjoldii) and other plants with edible, starchy roots within estuarine plots. Ethnographic sources suggest that these gardens were maintained …

Creation And Characterization Of 25 Kda Outer Membrane Protein (Omp25) Deletion Mutants In Brucella Species., Matthew David Edmonds Jan 2000

Creation And Characterization Of 25 Kda Outer Membrane Protein (Omp25) Deletion Mutants In Brucella Species., Matthew David Edmonds

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The genus Brucella is composed of Gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogens that impact man and animals. Brucella species express a 25 kDa major outer membrane protein termed Omp25. To determine the role of Omp25 in virulence, mutants were created in Brucella abortus (BA25), Brucella melitensis (BM25), and Brucella ovis (BO25) that contain disruptions in the omp25 gene (Deltaomp25 mutants). In the murine brucellosis model, each Deltaomp25 mutant was attenuated when compared to the virulent parental strain. To assess the ability of the B. abortus and B. melitensis mutants to colonize and induce abortions in the ruminant host, cattle and goats in …

Comparing Interventions On Disruptive Classroom Behaviors Derived From Descriptive Analysis, Experimental Analysis, And Reinforcer Assessment., Heather Peshak George Jan 2000

Comparing Interventions On Disruptive Classroom Behaviors Derived From Descriptive Analysis, Experimental Analysis, And Reinforcer Assessment., Heather Peshak George

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study investigated whether descriptive analyses, experimental analyses, and reinforcer assessments produced similar patterns of data. Descriptive analyses were conducted to identify baseline levels of disruptive behavior and to systematically describe the co-variation between disruptive behaviors and teacher attention, peer attention, and the academic task. Data on disruptive behavior were analyzed by computing conditional probabilities associated with the preceding and maintaining stimuli (e.g., peer attention). Experimental analyses were conducted to examine the extent to which disruptive behavior was sensitive to the instructional task or to the systematically programmed consequences (e.g., teacher attention). A preference assessment was conducted to identify preferred …

Studies On The Adsorption Of Di- And Mono-Isocyanides Onto Gold And Plantinum Surfaces., Song Lin Jan 2000

Studies On The Adsorption Of Di- And Mono-Isocyanides Onto Gold And Plantinum Surfaces., Song Lin

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The successful formation and characterization of 1,6-diisocyanohexane (DICH) molecules self assembled onto Au and Pt is realized in this dissertation. Exposure of Au substrates to methanolic solutions of DICH can result in the formation of either a monolayer or polymeric multilayer of DICH. Cyclic voltammograms of solution-phase redox probes at poly(DICH)-coated electrode surfaces (both Au and Pt) exhibit behavior that demonstrates that the poly(DICH) layers are effective transport barriers. Cross-linking of the poly(DICH) films can be increased by treating the poly(DICH) films with aqueous Ni2+ solutions; in addition, the free isocyanide functionalities in the poly(DICH) films can be electrochemically converted …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Alkoxyaniline-Terminated Monomer Monolayers On Gold Surfaces., Keith Cory Schomburg Jan 2000

Synthesis And Characterization Of Alkoxyaniline-Terminated Monomer Monolayers On Gold Surfaces., Keith Cory Schomburg

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Monolayers of 2-(6-mercaptohexan-1-oxy)aniline (AnC6SH) and 2-(7-mercaptoheptan-1-oxy)aniline (AnC7SH) on Au were synthesized and investigated by reflection-absorption infrared (RAIR) spectroscopy and electrochemistry. Electrochemical oxidation of AnC6SH/Au and AnC7SH/Au in 1 M H2SO4 to form ox-AnC6SH/Au and ox-AnC7SH/Au resulted in voltammetry indicative of oligomerization and degradation reactions of the aniline functionality. Scanning of the voltammetric potential between 0.0 and +0.9 V and then back to 0.0 V vs. SSCE twice leads to four surface-confined redox waves occurring at +0.25, +0.45, +0.5, and +0.6 V vs. SSCE. The oxidized monolayers were found to exhibit voltammetry similar to that observed for poly(o-phenetidine), which exhibits redox …

Theoretical And Experimental Studies Of Flame -Generated Agglomerates Using Light Scattering., Guocai Shu Jan 2000

Theoretical And Experimental Studies Of Flame -Generated Agglomerates Using Light Scattering., Guocai Shu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Knowledge of optical properties and morphological characteristics of aggregated aerosols is important for pollution control, material synthesis through the aerosol route, oxidation of particulate matters, as well as understanding the mechanism of particulate formation and growth. However, the limitations of current light scattering theories as well as the lack of robust data inversion schemes render the complete characterization of the agglomerated structures difficult and time consuming. The objective of present work is to develop robust experimental and theoretical methods to characterize the aggregated aerosols from in-situ classical light scattering (CLS) as well as dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements.

Insecticide Resistance And Resistance Mechanisms In The Southern House Mosquito, Culex Quinquefasciatus., Jeffrey Dwayne Stancil Jan 2000

Insecticide Resistance And Resistance Mechanisms In The Southern House Mosquito, Culex Quinquefasciatus., Jeffrey Dwayne Stancil

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Significant resistance to malathion and resmethrin was found in insecticide-treated field populations of adult Culex quinquefasciatus , Say, compared with a laboratory and non-treated field strain. Resistance to both insecticides varied during the active control season and was associated with the frequency of insecticide application. Geographic variations in resistance levels were noted, and significant differences occurred between separate populations within the same mosquito control districts. Four model substrates were assessed for their suitability in detecting elevated esterase activity associated with malathion resistance. Esterase activities towards all substrates were significantly higher in field stains than a laboratory strain. Esterase activities toward …
