Utility Of North Atlantic Right Whale Museum Specimens For Assessing Changes In Genetic Diversity, Howard C. Rosenbaum, Mary G. Egan, Phillip Clapham, Robert L. Brownell Jr., Sobia Malik, Moira Brown, Bradley White, Peter Walsh, Rob Desalle Dec 2000

Utility Of North Atlantic Right Whale Museum Specimens For Assessing Changes In Genetic Diversity, Howard C. Rosenbaum, Mary G. Egan, Phillip Clapham, Robert L. Brownell Jr., Sobia Malik, Moira Brown, Bradley White, Peter Walsh, Rob Desalle

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

We examined six historical specimens of the endangered North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) using DNA isolated from documented baleen plates from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Sequences from the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region from these samples were compared with those from a near-exhaustive survey (269 of approximately 320 individuals) of the remaining right whales in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Our results suggest that there has been only relatively modest change in maternal lineage diversity over the past century in the North Atlantic right whale population. Any significant reduction in genetic variation in the …

Further Scrutiny Of Scientific Whaling, Robert L. Brownell Jr., Michael F. Tillman, Giuseppe Notarbartolo Di Sciara, Per Berggren, Andrew J. Read

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

Normile reports on Japan's expanded scientific whaling program and notes that "Canada, the United States, the Soviet Union, South Africa, and Japan were among several countries that [conducted scientific whaling] before 1982 [the year the IWC passed the worldwide commercial moratorium on whaling], but in recent years Japan has stood alone." Although true, this statement omits three equally important points.

Attribution Of Blame In Father-Daughter Incest Cases: Perceptions Of Social Workers And Case Aides, Jane E. Leclair Dec 2000

Attribution Of Blame In Father-Daughter Incest Cases: Perceptions Of Social Workers And Case Aides, Jane E. Leclair

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 …

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 …

Are There Nothing But Texts In This Class? Interpreting The Interpretive Turns In Legal Thought, Robin L. West Dec 2000

Are There Nothing But Texts In This Class? Interpreting The Interpretive Turns In Legal Thought, Robin L. West

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article examines the impact of the twenty-year-old "turn" toward interpretation in legal and constitutional scholarship. In part, because of the impact of Hans-Georg Gadamer's work, scores of critical legal scholars, including some of those writing for this Symposium, now think of adjudication and legal discourse generally as primarily interpretive, rather than economic or political or distinctively legal enterprises. This turn toward interpretation has opened the way for new insights and ways of thinking, but it has also come with costs. It has, for example, diverted attention from the ways in which constitutional law might be appropriately criticized by reference …


Palaeoecological Implications Of Archaeological Seal Bone Assemblages: Case Studies From Labrador And Baffin Island, James M. Woollett, Anne S. Henshaw, Cameron P. Wake Dec 2000

Palaeoecological Implications Of Archaeological Seal Bone Assemblages: Case Studies From Labrador And Baffin Island, James M. Woollett, Anne S. Henshaw, Cameron P. Wake

Earth Sciences

. In recent years, increasing scientific attention has been paid to sea mammals as biological indicators of Arctic environmental change. The usefulness of animals such as ringed seal (Phoca hispida), harp seal (Phoca groenlandica), bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus), and harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) as indicator species is due to the close relationship of their range, reproductive cycles, and life histories to sea ice. The behaviour and distribution of these species correlate with ice conditions in the areas where the animals are encountered. The proportions of seal species represented in archaeological deposits may therefore reflect, at least in part, environmental conditions …

The Quest To Reprogram Cultural Software: A Hermeneutical Response To Jack Balkin's Theory Of Ideology And Critique, Francis J. Mootz Iii Dec 2000

The Quest To Reprogram Cultural Software: A Hermeneutical Response To Jack Balkin's Theory Of Ideology And Critique, Francis J. Mootz Iii

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In his recent book, Cultural Software, Jack Balkin offers a new approach to ideology and critical theory in an effort to overcome the deficiencies he finds in Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutical account. This Article demonstrates that the productive aspects of Balkin's theory are central to Gadamer's philosophy, and the unproductive elements in Balkin's theory are best explained by his deviation from Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics. Mootz rejects Balkin's transcendental argument in favor of Gadamer's insistence that critique is a feature of hermeneutical experience and that critical theory is the practice of maximizing the critical distance that occurs only within hermeneutical engagements. …


Critical Hermeneutics: The Intertwining Of Explanation And Understanding As Exemplified In Legal Analysis, George H. Taylor Dec 2000

Critical Hermeneutics: The Intertwining Of Explanation And Understanding As Exemplified In Legal Analysis, George H. Taylor

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Understanding and explanation are often viewed as oppositional: understanding is considered a search for the meaning a text provides, while explanation employs a critical, analytic method that maintains a distance from the text it interrogates. This Article demonstrates that in legal interpretation, understanding and explanation are not opposed but inextricably interconnected. Drawing first on the work of Robert Bork and Justice Antonin Scalia, this Article shows how elements of critique are present even within forms of legal interpretation that seek to maintain fidelity to the "understanding" of authorial meaning. Second, it illuminates the converse, that theories drawn to methods of …

Risk Factors And Gender Differentials For Death Among Children Hospitalized With Diarrhoea In Bangladesh, Amal K. Mitra, Mohammad M. Rahman, George J. Fuchs Dec 2000

Risk Factors And Gender Differentials For Death Among Children Hospitalized With Diarrhoea In Bangladesh, Amal K. Mitra, Mohammad M. Rahman, George J. Fuchs

Faculty Publications

To identify risk factors for death among children with diarrhoea, a cohort of 496 children, aged less than 5 years, admitted to the intensive care unit of a diarrhoeal disease hospital in Bangladesh, was studied during November 1992-June 1994, Clinical and laboratory records of children who died and of those who recovered in the hospital were compared, Deaths were significantly higher among those who had altered consciousness, hypoglycaemia, septicaemia, paralytic ileus, toxic colitis, necrotizing enterocolitis, haemolytic-uraemic syndrome, invasive or persistent diarrhoea, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and malnutrition, Females experienced a 2-fold higher risk of death than males (p=0.003). Several indices of …


Gis-Based Decision Support For Drained Wetland Resoration In The Eel River Watershed Of N. E. Indiana, Xiangheng Yang Dec 2000

Gis-Based Decision Support For Drained Wetland Resoration In The Eel River Watershed Of N. E. Indiana, Xiangheng Yang

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this research is to develop cost-effect and accurate methods to identify optimal restorable drained wetland cropland sites. Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data analysis was used to identify the potential cropland candidate sites in the initial step. The result of digital TM data analysis shows that the overall classification accuracy in identifying classes of potential restoration candidate hydric soils is 86.7%. This accuracy shows that the TM data digital analysis is a cost-effective method for identifying poorly drained cropland hydric soils potentially suitable for wetland conversiOn. To support multi-factorial analysis in the final site screening, a Spatial Decision …


Thermosensitivity Of The Lobster, Homarus Americanus, As Determined By Cardiac Assay, Winsor H. Watson Iii, Steven H. Jury Dec 2000

Thermosensitivity Of The Lobster, Homarus Americanus, As Determined By Cardiac Assay, Winsor H. Watson Iii, Steven H. Jury

Jackson Estuarine Laboratory

It is generally accepted that crustaceans detect, and respond to, changes in water temperature, yet few studies have directly addressed their thermosensitivity. In this investigation a cardiac assay was used as an indicator that lobsters (Homarus americanus) sensed a change in temperature. The typical cardiac response of lobsters to a 1-min application of a thermal stimulus, either warmer (n = 19) or colder (n = 17) than the holding temperature of 15 degrees C, consisted of a short bradycardia (39.5 +/- 8.0 s) followed by a prolonged tachycardia (188.2 +/- 10.7 s). Lobsters exposed to a range of rates of …
