Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Thickness Changes Cooling Time During Cryotherapy, Jeffrey W. Otte Dec 2000

Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Thickness Changes Cooling Time During Cryotherapy, Jeffrey W. Otte

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Context: Cryotherapy is often applied using a standard treatment time. Use of a standard treatment time fails to consider the insulating effect subculaneous adipose tissue has during cooling of underlying muscle. If differences in adipose lissuc thickness alter I he effects of cryotherapy, then a standard application time may not produce a slamlard clTcct for all patients. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of subcutaneous adipose tissue on cooling time during cryothcrapy. Design: A 1 x 4 factorial design was used in this study. The independent variable was skin-fold thickness, 0-10mm, 1 l-20mm, 2 l-30mm, …

Tree Seedling Establishment With Protective Shelters And Irrigation Scheduling In Three Naturalized Landscapes In Utah, Roger Kjelgren, Neil Chapman, Larry Rupp Dec 2000

Tree Seedling Establishment With Protective Shelters And Irrigation Scheduling In Three Naturalized Landscapes In Utah, Roger Kjelgren, Neil Chapman, Larry Rupp

Plants, Soils, and Climate Faculty Publications

We investigated the effect of irrigation scheduling and tree shelters on survival and growth of nine tree species during first-year establishment in three naturalized Utah landscapes with divergent soil and climate. Seedlings of nine species were planted at high mountain [MTS; 2180 m(7150 ft)], mountain foothils [FTH; 1350 m (4430 ft)], and alkali desert [DES; 1320 m (4330 ft)] sites. Half the trees at each site were enclosed with transluscent plastic shelters after planting, and all tress were irrigated when water loss estimated from local evapotranspiration, depleted plant-available soil water. Tree condition was rated through the growing season, water potential …

Theses and Graduate Projects

This exploratory study exarnined the attribution of blame in father-daughter incest cases by surveying the perceptions of 100 social workers and case aides. The random sample of 74 women and 26 men were mailed a self-repoft survey packet including two Likert-type, ordinal level scales: The Jackson Incest Blame Scale (JIBS) which measured offender, victim, societal and situational factors; and the JEL Blame Scale which measured mother blame. With a response rate of 30Vr, findings were reported in the median and mode. JIBS findings indicated most blame was aftributed to the offender, little to the victim, with varying amounts of blame …

Mission Impossible: On Baker, Equal Benefits, And The Imposition Of Stigma, Mark Strasser Dec 2000

Mission Impossible: On Baker, Equal Benefits, And The Imposition Of Stigma, Mark Strasser

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

In Baker v. State, the Vermont Supreme Court held that the state constitution required same-sex couples be afforded the same benefits and protections that married couples receive. While the state did not need to recognize same-sex marriage, at the very least, it needed to create a parallel system providing equal benefits. Professor Mark Strasser argues that a civil union alternative ultimately would not meet the court's requirements because it cannot possibly provide this requisite equality. His central concern is the differing treatment that same-sex marriage and domestic partnerships receive from other states. Additionally, Professor Strasser notes that such a system …

Religious Conservatives And The Death Penalty, Thomas C. Berg Dec 2000

Religious Conservatives And The Death Penalty, Thomas C. Berg

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

With the increased fervor surrounding the death penalty, many religious sects have re-examined their position on this issue. New statistics concerning possible discrimination in the application of the death penalty prompted several religious groups to call for a moratorium on the death penalty. In this Essay, Professor Thomas C. Berg examines how religious conservatives, especially Roman Catholics and evangelical Protestants, have dealt with the recent concerns over the death penalty. Part I of the Essay documents how Roman Catholics and evangelical Protestants traditionally approach the death penalty. In this section, Professor Berg concludes that critics of the death penalty can …

Syllable Structure Development Of Toddlers With Expressive Specific Language Impairment, Aimée Baird Pharr, Nan Bernstein Ratner, Leslie Rescorla Dec 2000

Syllable Structure Development Of Toddlers With Expressive Specific Language Impairment, Aimée Baird Pharr, Nan Bernstein Ratner, Leslie Rescorla

Psychology Faculty Research and Scholarship

A total of 35 children - 20 with expressive specific language impairment (SLI-E) and 15 typically developing (TD) peers - were compared longitudinally from 24 to 36 months with respect to their production of syllable shapes in 10-minute spontaneous speech samples. SLI-E 24-month-olds predominantly produced earlier developing syllable shapes containing vowels, liquids, and glides. TD 24-month-olds and SLI-E 36-month-olds produced approximately the same proportion of syllable types, with the exception of consonant clusters, where TD 24 month-olds produced more than SLI-E 36-month-olds. TD children at 36 months showed the greatest use of syllable shapes containing two different consonants and consonant …

Law On Communications Interception During Criminal Investigations, Yohei Suda Dec 2000

Law On Communications Interception During Criminal Investigations, Yohei Suda

Washington International Law Journal

Whereas organized crime severely damages the peace and health of society, and increasingly it is extremely difficult to clarify the truth in criminal investigations without intercepting the telephone communications or other telecommunications of criminals in serious crimes committed by conspiracy, such as organized murder and unlawful trade of drugs or firearms, the purpose of this law is to set forth the requirements, procedures, and other matters that are relevant to the invasive action of intercepting telecommunications, as provided in the Code of Criminal Procedure (Law No. 131, 1948), and are essential for dealing appropriately with such crimes, in such a …

Reinventing Indian Hospitality, S Seshadri Dec 2000

Reinventing Indian Hospitality, S Seshadri

IIMB Management Review

The hotel industry is hopefully just emerging from a threeyear period of recession. The heyday of the industry was in the years immediately following the opening up of the economy, from 1993-94 onwards. However, we had a couple of unfortunate events at that time, Babri Masjid and then the plague scare. Despite the economic environment turning positive, these other elements are very good examples of the ‘non economic factors’ that can have a serious impact on the hotel industry. So it was really in 94-97 that the industry reached its peak. Foreign investors came in significantly large numbers compared to …

A Better Harvest, Tushaar Shah Dec 2000

A Better Harvest, Tushaar Shah

IIMB Management Review

In 1972, the prices of fossil fuel suddenly shot up and with it there was enormous escalation in fertiliser prices. People were therefore very pessimistic about the future of agriculture in the country, though the Green Revolution had been hailed only a few years before. So in my talk on Our Agriculture Future in 1973 I said that what we needed was an integrated approach: a farming systems approach looking at our land and water resources. I also spoke about the concept of Sarvodaya Agriculture, which is a high synergy society of farmers, managing and caring for natural resources like …

Preventing Workplace Violence By Mark Braverman, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., T Ananthachari Dec 2000

Preventing Workplace Violence By Mark Braverman, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., T Ananthachari

IIMB Management Review

The workplace is in many ways the meeting ground for the employer and the employees. It can lead to mutual understanding, trust and a lasting fruitful collaboration to achieve the objectives of the company. On the other hand, it can result in confrontation with all the consequent negative outcomes to follow. It is obvious that one of the basic policies of every organisation should be to forge maximum possible understanding between the two. Even a minor incident, misunderstanding or communication gap between the managerial hierarchy and the individual employee can spark off a situation which could ultimately vitiate the atmosphere …

Work-In-Progress: Gadamer, Tradition, And The Common Law, Allan C. Hutchinson Dec 2000

Work-In-Progress: Gadamer, Tradition, And The Common Law, Allan C. Hutchinson

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In this Article, Hutchinson provides an account of the common law tradition of judging that draws upon Hans-Georg Gadamer's writings that advance the intellectual project of critical legal theory. Hutchinson contends that Gadamer's hermeneutics can be utilized to offer a more radical and transformative reading of the common law tradition and explores what it means to treat law seriously as a living rhetorical tradition. This Article explores Hutchinson's theory by concentrating on the recent U.S. Supreme Court physician-assisted suicide decision in Washington v. Glucksberg. This Article relies upon the notion of "work-in-progress" as a productive optic through which to …

Melting Into Air? Downsizing, Job Stability, And The Future Of Work, Sanford M. Jacoby Dec 2000

Melting Into Air? Downsizing, Job Stability, And The Future Of Work, Sanford M. Jacoby

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Contrary to popular belief, career-type employment practices remain the norm in the U.S. labor market, and employers continue to shoulder risks for employees. Evidence to support this claim is drawn from a variety of sources: data on tenure and mobility; analysis of new job creation and job quality; recent employer responses to labor-market tightness; and data on wage premiums, fringe benefits, and training. Yet employees are bearing more risk today, including risk of job loss and of compensation fluctuations. This is an important change from the past. Nevertheless, there are limits—economic, demographic, and political—to the risk-shifting process.

Policing The "Wild West" World Of Internet Pharmacies, Kerry Toth Rost Dec 2000

Policing The "Wild West" World Of Internet Pharmacies, Kerry Toth Rost

Chicago-Kent Law Review

An Internet pharmacy sells medications through its Web site. Legitimate, law-abiding Internet pharmacies benefit modern healthcare in numerous ways; however, some Internet pharmacies conduct illegal and unsafe prescribing and dispensing practices that can endanger the health of the patients the pharmacy serves. Controversy exists over which regulatory body should govern the sale of prescription drugs over the Internet and how Internet pharmacies should be regulated. This Note contends that cooperation of state and federal regulatory agencies and careful updating and utilization of current regulatory avenues can adequately promote the safety of Internet pharmacies. This Note further contends that the dangers …

So What? The Individual Right To The Ownership Of Firearms Under The Ninth Amendment, Robert E. Bodine Dec 2000

So What? The Individual Right To The Ownership Of Firearms Under The Ninth Amendment, Robert E. Bodine

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Note argues that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution fails to resolve the debate over the existence of a fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms because the Ninth Amendment is in fact the proper source for that right. This Note performs a historical analysis of the creation of the Constitution, reviews the little Supreme Court precedent regarding the right, and then demonstrates how the Supreme Court has applied the Ninth Amendment in cases dealing with other issues. Bodine concludes that applying the Ninth Amendment in that same manner necessarily leads to an inference of a …
