A Child Conceived After His Father's Death: Posthumous Reproduction And Inheritance Rights - An Analysis Of Ohio Statutes, Cindy L. Steeb Jan 2000

A Child Conceived After His Father's Death: Posthumous Reproduction And Inheritance Rights - An Analysis Of Ohio Statutes, Cindy L. Steeb

Cleveland State Law Review

This Article will argue that the posthumous child and the rights and responsibilities relating to such a child, are directly related to the fundamental right to procreate, thus statutes must support rather than prohibit posthumous conception. It will argue that legislation must necessarily incorporate that right in determining issues and forming legislation related to the posthumous child. It will show that current legislation, both the various Uniform Codes and Ohio's Revised Code, is not sufficient to protect and provide for this new class of children. In reaching this conclusion, Part II of this Article will review the history of artificial …

Prosecution Of Christian Scientists: A Needed Protection For Children Or Insult Added To Injury, Daniel Vaillant Jan 2000

Prosecution Of Christian Scientists: A Needed Protection For Children Or Insult Added To Injury, Daniel Vaillant

Cleveland State Law Review

A young child is dead. The death occurred because the parents refused to take their child to a doctor. Now, ordinarily, this refusal to obtain medical attention for a dying child would result in immediate indictments against the parents for involuntary manslaughter. But what if the parents are Christian Scientists? This question of whether Scientists should be treated differently because of their faith is a very controversial one in America today. If we allow the Scientists to practice their religion without government interference, children who could be medically treated and possibly saved may die. If, on the other hand, we …

Does The Death Tax Deserve The Death Penalty - An Overview Of The Major Arguments For Repeal Of Federal Wealth-Transfer Taxes , Richard Schmalbeck Jan 2000

Does The Death Tax Deserve The Death Penalty - An Overview Of The Major Arguments For Repeal Of Federal Wealth-Transfer Taxes , Richard Schmalbeck

Cleveland State Law Review

President Bush campaigned on a platform calling for repeal of the federal estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes, and, within his first month in office, introduced a bill that would accomplish that result. Whether or not these taxes are repealed this year, however, the debate over them will not immediately end. In the spirit of that on-going debate, I offer this essay considering the major arguments that have been made by advocates of repeal. Although I will focus mostly on those arguments in opposition to the existing system, I will begin with a brief description of the federal wealth transfer …

The Holliday Junction In An Inverted Repeat Dna Sequence: Sequence Effects On The Structure Of Four-Way Junctions, Brandt F. Eichman, Jeff Vargason, Blaine H.M. Mooers, P. Shing Ho Jan 2000

The Holliday Junction In An Inverted Repeat Dna Sequence: Sequence Effects On The Structure Of Four-Way Junctions, Brandt F. Eichman, Jeff Vargason, Blaine H.M. Mooers, P. Shing Ho

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

Holliday junctions are important structural intermediates in recombination, viral integration, and DNA repair. We present here the single-crystal structure of the inverted repeat sequence d(CCGGTACCGG) as a Holliday junction at the nominal resolution of 2.1 Å. Unlike the previous crystal structures, this DNA junction has B-DNA arms with all standard Watson–Crick base pairs; it therefore represents the intermediate proposed by Holliday as being involved in homologous recombination. The junction is in the stacked-X conformation, with two interconnected duplexes formed by coaxially stacked arms, and is crossed at an angle of 41.4° as a right-handed X. A sequence comparison with previous …

B2-Adrenergic Receptor Activates Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (Erks) Via The Small G Protein Rap1 And The Serine/Threonine Kinase B-Raf, John M. Schmitt, Philip J. S. Stork Jan 2000

B2-Adrenergic Receptor Activates Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (Erks) Via The Small G Protein Rap1 And The Serine/Threonine Kinase B-Raf, John M. Schmitt, Philip J. S. Stork

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

G protein-coupled receptors can induce cellular proliferation by stimulating the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. Heterotrimeric G proteins are composed of both a and By subunits that can signal independently to diverse intracellular signaling pathways including those that activate MAP kinases. In this study, we examined the ability of isoproterenol, an agonist of the B2-adrenergic receptor (b2AR), to stimulate extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). Using HEK293 cells, which express endogenous b2AR, we show that isoproterenol stimulates ERKs via b2AR. This action of isoproterenol requires cAMP-dependent protein kinase and is insensitive to pertussis toxin, suggesting that Gas activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase …

Cd28 And The Tyrosine Kinase Lck Stimulate Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Activity In T Cells Via Inhibition Of The Small G Protein Rap1, Kendall D. Carey, Tara J. Dillon, John M. Schmitt, Allison M. Baird, Amy D. Holdorf, David B. Straus, Andrey S. Shaw, Philip J. S. Stork Jan 2000

Cd28 And The Tyrosine Kinase Lck Stimulate Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Activity In T Cells Via Inhibition Of The Small G Protein Rap1, Kendall D. Carey, Tara J. Dillon, John M. Schmitt, Allison M. Baird, Amy D. Holdorf, David B. Straus, Andrey S. Shaw, Philip J. S. Stork

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

Proliferation of T cells via activation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) requires concurrent engagement of accessory costimulatory molecules to achieve full activation. The best-studied costimulatory molecule, CD28, achieves these effects, in part, by augmenting signals from the TCR to the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. We show here that TCR-mediated stimulation of MAP kinase extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) is limited by activation of the Ras antagonist Rap1. CD28 increases ERK signaling by blocking Rap1 action. CD28 inhibits Rap1 activation because it selectively stimulates an extrinsic Rap1 GTPase activity. The ability of CD28 to stimulate Rap1 GTPase activity was dependent on the …

Interface Between Titanium Miniplate/Screw And Human Calvaria, Kun Hwang, John M. Schmitt, Jeffrey O. Hollinger Jan 2000

Interface Between Titanium Miniplate/Screw And Human Calvaria, Kun Hwang, John M. Schmitt, Jeffrey O. Hollinger

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

This study demonstrates interfacial changes of titanium miniplate/screw with normal calvaria and nonvascularized calvarial bone graft ensued from craniectomy in a 53-year-old female. In 18 months after operation, a right parietal bone containing an L-shaped miniplate with screws, 5mm long and 2mm in external diameter, was harvested, fixed, and embedded in methylmetacrylate. Fifteen micrometer thick sections were made by an EXAKT cutting-grinding system (Exakt Company, Hamburg, Germany), and reviewed under the bright field light microscope. The mean of the bonecontacting surface ratio (BCSR) in six screwed bone was 64.1%; 69.3% in normal bone, and 60.4% in grafted bone. The trabecular …

Reflections After Seattle, Renato Ruggiero Jan 2000

Reflections After Seattle, Renato Ruggiero

Fordham International Law Journal

The WTO cannot operate in isolation from the concerns of the world in which it exists. Our ability to advance trade, build a stronger system, and move forward in a new round will hinge on our ability to make simultaneous progression on these issues. How do we do this? First, we must move toward a more collective leadership, one that reflects the reality of a multipolar world and especially the emergence of developing-country powers. Second, we need to look at the policy challenges we face as pieces of an interconnected puzzle. Third, we need a new forum for the management …

Europe's Evolving Regulatory Strategy For Gmos --- The Issue Of Consistncy With Wto Law: Of Kine And Brine, Robert Howse, Petros C. Mavroidis

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay deals with one question: If challenged, how would regulatory restrictions on genetically modified organisms ("GMOs") be judged by a World Trade Organization ("WTO") adjudicating body. Many of the controversies about the effect of WTO law on domestic regulation have been influenced by the view that the law as it stands may well impede the ability of governments to regulate new and uncertain risks to health and the environment. The result in the Beef Hormones case is often cited for this proposition. In this Essay we aim to show that, contrary to an increasingly widespread popular perception, if WTO …

Wto Blue-Green Blues: The Impact Of U.S. Domestic Politics On Trade-Labor, Trade-Environment Linkages For The Wto's Future, Gregory Schaffer Jan 2000

Wto Blue-Green Blues: The Impact Of U.S. Domestic Politics On Trade-Labor, Trade-Environment Linkages For The Wto's Future, Gregory Schaffer

Fordham International Law Journal

Part I of this Article provides a brief overview of the dominant discourse on linkages, which focuses on whether World Trade Organization (“WTO”) rules should be modified (or interpreted) to permit trade restrictions on environmental and labor rights grounds. Those fully familiar with the competing conventional approaches to trade-environment and trade-labor debates may either skim Part I or move directly to Part II. Parts II through V examine the political economy of trade-environment and trade-labor policy, particularly in the United States. Part II addresses the politics of trade-environment agenda setting and the reasons why U.S. critics more likely direct their …

Opportunities In The Wto For Increased Liberalization Of Goods: Making Sure The Rules Work For All And That Special Needs Are Addressed, Terrence P. Stewart, Patrick J. Mcdonough, Marta M. Prado Jan 2000

Opportunities In The Wto For Increased Liberalization Of Goods: Making Sure The Rules Work For All And That Special Needs Are Addressed, Terrence P. Stewart, Patrick J. Mcdonough, Marta M. Prado

Fordham International Law Journal

Different governments focus on different parts of the existing World Trade Organization rules as posing opportunities for their producers to expand trade if the rules were relaxed or eliminated. While this may be understandable, it is the premise of this Essay that such an approach, if pursued, would result in slower trade liberalization, not increased liberalization, as those segments of industry perceiving that the existing equilibrium is not to their advantage are given no options other than to oppose further liberalization. When, as in agriculture, domestic politics can threaten the survival of governments, liberalization without strong rules can only be …

Islamic Shari'ah- Compliant Project Finance: Collateral Security And Financing Structure Case Studies, Michael J.T. Mcmillen Jan 2000

Islamic Shari'ah- Compliant Project Finance: Collateral Security And Financing Structure Case Studies, Michael J.T. Mcmillen

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay addresses collateral security structures and project financing structures used in project financings where the structure of, and documentation for, the financing is compliant with the precepts of Islamic Shari'ah. The Essay first provides a brief summary of the sources and exposition of Shari'ah principles in financing transactions. It then surveys economic and financial trends in Saudi Arabia promoting and supporting the project financings discussed in the Essay. General legal considerations influencing development of the structure are then identified, including the absence of a statutory structure, the inapplicability of stare decisis, and the fact that many laws are not …

Export Credit Agencies, Project Finance, And Commercial Risk: Whose Risk Is It, Anyway?, Rodney Short Jan 2000

Export Credit Agencies, Project Finance, And Commercial Risk: Whose Risk Is It, Anyway?, Rodney Short

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay questions whether Extra Credit Agencies should provide such long-term commercial risk insurance in project finance transactions. It can be argued that ECA-provided commercial risk insurance in project financings lifts from commercial banks the onus of rigorously analyzing the commercial risks of a project and that ECAs lack the institutional experience and commercial orientation to sufficiently appraise a project's commercial risk. This leads to the very real possibility that projects will be undertaken that on their own (i.e., without commercial risk insurance) might not be commercially viable.

Preserving Indigenous Paradigms In An Age Of Globalization: Pragmatic Strategies For The Development Of Clinical Legal Aid In China, Michael William Dowdle Jan 2000

Preserving Indigenous Paradigms In An Age Of Globalization: Pragmatic Strategies For The Development Of Clinical Legal Aid In China, Michael William Dowdle

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay uses the experiences of international efforts to promote clinical legal aid in China to explore one such unexpected consequence of globalization: international assistance's understandable focus on more familiar kinds of legal aid institutions and activities can unintentionally impede the development of indigenous legal aid practices and institutions that might ultimately be better suited for the particular domestic environment. Part I of this essay will discuss international efforts to promote clinical legal aid in China, Part II will discuss reductive strategies for promoting legal development and the problems they present, Part III will discuss pragmatic strategies for promoting legal …

Public Provision Of Legal Services In The United Kingdom: A New Dawn?, Anne Owers Jan 2000

Public Provision Of Legal Services In The United Kingdom: A New Dawn?, Anne Owers

Fordham International Law Journal

There are likely to be two effects on the provision and demand for legal aid. First, under Article 6 of the ECHR, there may be a requirement for free legal advice and representation for those whose civil rights are at issue in complex cases and who could not otherwise afford it. This may particularly affect representation before tribunals, which deal with matters for which no legal aid is currently available such as employment, welfare benefits, and immigration. Legal aid has already been promised for immigration and asylum tribunals. Second, there is likely to be a large amount of litigation in …
