The Application Of Product Liability Principles To Publishers Of Violent Or Sexually Explicit Material, Richard C. Ausness

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

There have been a number of tragic incidents during the past few years in which mentally unstable teenagers have carried guns into school and shot teachers and fellow students. These schoolyard killings have generated an intense debate about the problem of violence in our society. Some social commentators have attributed teenage violence to the widespread availability of firearms, while others blame parental neglect, lack of discipline in the schools, or the declining influence of religion and morality in contemporary culture. However, another source of concern is the popular media, which stands accused of purveying sex and violence on a massive …

Synthesis And Antimalarial Activity Of Sixteen Dispiro-1,2,4,5-Tetraoxanes: Alkyl-Substituted 7,8,15,16-Tetraoxadispiro[5.2.5.2]Hexadecanes, Jonathan L. Vennerstrom, Yuxiang Dong, Walter Reed Army Institute Of Research, Arba L. Ager Jr., Hong-Ning Fu, Sheri M. Walters, James K. Wood, Geoffrey Edwards, Alexandra D. Holme, W. Graham Mclean

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Sixteen alkyl-substituted dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes (7,8,15,16-tetraoxadispiro[5.2.5.2]hexadecanes) were synthesized to explore dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxane SAR and to identify tetraoxanes with better oral antimalarial activity than prototype tetraoxane 1 (WR 148999). The tetraoxanes were prepared either by peroxidation of the corresponding cyclohexanone derivatives in H₂-SO₄/CH₃CN or by ozonolysis of the corresponding cyclohexanone methyl oximes. Those tetraoxanes with alkyl substituents at the 1 and 10 positions were formed as single stereoisomers, whereas the five tetraoxanes formed without the stereochemical control provided by alkyl groups at the 1 and 10 positions were isolated as mixtures of diastereomers. Three of the sixteen …

Children In Poverty: In Search Of State And Federal Constitutional Protections In The Wake Of Welfare Reforms, April Land

Faculty Scholarship

The elimination of the federal entitlement to welfare and the shifting of essential policy making to states raises serious questions about the procedural due process rights of people in poverty. It also changes the focus of the legal battleground for welfare families, bringing important state constitutional issues into focus across the nation. Overall, the Article emphasizes that in exploring the potential constitutional protections for families in poverty, it will be important to focus on the detrimental effects that welfare reforms have on children. By emphasizing the impact that welfare cuts have on children, it may be possible to provide a …

Freedom Of Conscience And The Court-Ordered Apology For Defamatory Remarks, Dai-Kwon Choi

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques the Korean Constitutional Court's decision that court-ordered apologies for defamation violate the freedom of conscience under the Korean Constitution. The author argues that this ruling is misplaced, as it should have focused on the chilling effect on freedom of the press rather than freedom of conscience. The analysis emphasizes the cultural significance of apologies in Korean society and questions the court's approach to constitutional review.

Television Satellite Broadcasting In Russia After The Financial Crash Of 1998: The Allure And Adversity For Western Companies, Daniel E. Rosen

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the legal and economic challenges faced by Western satellite broadcasters investing in Russia, particularly in light of the current economic crisis. While Russian media laws, such as the Mass Media Law and the Law on Television and Radio Broadcasting, initially created a favorable investment environment, their ambiguities and the government’s broad interpretive powers pose significant risks. The analysis highlights the need for Western companies to carefully weigh the potential benefits of investment against the heightened risks stemming from political, economic, and legal uncertainties.

The Efficacy Of Public Affairs In The Federal Courts, Jacqueline Todd

Theses and Dissertations

The federal courts are undeniably one of the most important institutions in our society, yet we know little of this nebulous entity since the federal court system does not directly communicate to the public. The judiciary relies solely on the media to disseminate court decisions and information to the public.

The purpose of this study was to underscore the need for a public affairs office in the federal court system. This researcher held that a court public affairs office would serve to educate the public about the judiciary, as well as correct media accounts of court decisions that exhibit negative …

Beating Again And Again And Again: Why Washington Needs A New Rule Of Evidence Admitting Prior Acts Of Domestic Violence, Linell A. Letendre

Washington Law Review

Batterers in Washington who use violence to control their intimate partners routinely avoid conviction and punishment due to the difficulties of prosecuting domestic violence cases. Prosecutors often face complex problems, such as recanting victims, lack of other witnesses, and juries inherently biased against battered women. Although some Washington prosecutors have found ways to introduce evidence of prior domestic violence in certain limited circumstances, Washington Rule of Evidence 404(b) generally precludes the use of evidence showing prior domestic violence. This Comment argues that this evidence rule prevents the admission of highly probative evidence of prior abuse against current or past victims …

Lawyer Communications On The Internet: Beginning The Millennium With Disparate Standards, Louise L. Hill

Washington Law Review

Lawyer communications on the Internet constituting commercial speech are subject to state ethics rules governing lawyer advertising and communication. Because each state operates as a separate entity with its own rules that govern the lawyers of its jurisdiction, the profession is faced with disparate standards on a jurisdictional basis. Of the forty-three states that have adopted the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, four-fifths have standards on lawyer communications that vary from those in the Model Rules. Not only is there variation in the rules themselves, but differences exist in the specific applicability and interpretation of these rules to components of …

Group And Individual Treatment Of Compulsive Hoarding: A Pilot Study, Gail Steketee, Randy O. Frost, Jeff Wincze, Kamala A.I. Greene, Heidi Douglass

Psychology: Faculty Publications

Treatment of compulsive hoarding has rarely been described in the literature, apart from standard treatments for obsessive compulsive disorder of which hoarding is thought to be a subset. This paper presents preliminary findings from seven patients treated with cognitive and behavioral interventions derived from Frost and Hartl's (1996) theoretical model of hoarding. Six clients attended 15 group treatment sessions over 20 weeks plus individual home treatment sessions and one client received 20 weekly-sessions of individual treatment only. After 20 weeks, treatment resulted in noticeable improvement in several hoarding symptoms for five of the seven patients, especially reduction in excessive acquisition …

Quality Of Shredded Carrots As Affected By Packaging Film And Storage Temperature, Catherine Barry-Ryan, David O'Beirne

Articles

Different packaging films and storage temperatures were used to establish a range of equilibrium modified atmospheres for storage of shredded carrots. Quality and storage-life of the packaged shredded carrots were determined using sensory evaluation, microbial counts, and a range of physical tests. Minimal processing steps such as peeling and shredding caused physical damage, physiological stress, and enhanced microbial growth, leading to a reduced shelf life when compared to the whole vegetable. A P-plus microporous film (CO2 permeability of 29103mL.m 2.d 1.atm 1) was the most suitable for the storage of shredded carrots. Findings indicated that deterioration in these products was …

Threats To Russian Security: The View From Moscow, Stephen J. Blank Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The documented threat assessments addressed here are clearly the culmination to date of a long-standing process by which the Russian military and government have forsaken the optimistic Westernizing postures and visions of the initial post-Soviet years and returned in many respects to assessments and demands for specific policies that evoke the Soviet mentality and period. The armed forces and the government have adopted a viewpoint that magnifies both the internal and external threats to Russia that they perceive and regard those threats as growing in number and saliency. This viewpoint is fundamentally at odds with both the post-1985 Soviet and …

Development And Evaluation Of An Intrinsic Gettering Process For Fabrication Of Integrated Circuits, James Ii Will

Theses

An internal gettering process to collect and trap potentially harmful defects in the bulk of the silicon wafer, away from the surface where the integrated circuits are fabricated, has been developed in this work. This gettering process was then incorporated into the standard metal gate PMOS process utilized at RIT. Capacitors and diodes were electrically characterized to compare wafers that were gettered versus wafers that were not gettered. Results show that gettering did improve device characteristics, but only in the center of the wafers. The experimental results indicate that the diffusion of impurities from the furnace tube and quartz boat …

Validation Of Passive Air Sampling Monitors Onboard United States Navy Submarines, Larry A. Mcfarland

Community & Environmental Health Theses & Dissertations

An operating submarine creates a unique air quality mixture of compounds that result from a combination of human metabolism, construction materials, materials brought onboard and compounds created through the interaction of ship systems. A comprehensive study of submarine atmospheres is ongoing during deployments of U.S. Navy nuclear submarines. As part of the overall effort, a paired air sampling comparison field validation was conducted to compare the air sampling effectiveness of passive diffusive monitors compared to more traditional active air sampling methods when sampling for acrolein, formaldehyde and ozone in the enclosed submarine atmosphere. Acrolein monitors containing 2-hydroxymethylpiperidine (HMP) impregnated glass …
