Mercado Telefónico En México: Diez Años Después De La Privatización De Telmex Privatización De Telmex [The Telephone Market: 10 Years After The Privatization Of Telmex], Leonardo E. Torre Cepeda, Armando R. Lopez-Velasco

School of Economics and Finance Faculty Publications

• El sector de las telecomunicaciones en México experimentó una profunda transformación durante la década de los años noventa: el monopolio público telefónico fue privatizado (1990), se emitió una nueva ley del sector (1995), se creó un nuevo ente regulador (1996) y se abrió a la competencia el segmento de larga distancia (1997).

• El cambio estructural en el sector trajo consigo avances importantes en materia de densidad, calidad y precios de los servicios. Sin embargo, estos avances han sido insuficientes para impedir que en México sigamos contando con una baja densidad telefónica y precios elevados de los servicios, en …

Moral And Legal Rhetoric In International Relations: A Rational Choice Perspective, Eric A. Posner, Jack L. Goldsmith

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Critics of realist and rational choice approaches to international law argue that if nations were motivated entirely by power or self-interest, their leaders would not make moral and legal arguments because no one would believe them. Thus, the prevalence of moral and legal rhetoric on the international stage refutes the behavioral assumptions of realism and rational choice. This paper argues that even if nations are not motivated by a desire to comply with morality or law, the use of moral and legal arguments could occur in equilibrium. Signaling and cheap talk models show that nations may engage in talk in …

Strategic Disclosure In The Patent System, Douglas Gary Lichtman, Scott Baker, Kate Kraus

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Patent applications are evaluated in light of the prior art. What this means is that patent examiners evaluate a claimed invention by comparing it with what in a rough sense corresponds to the set of ideas and inventions already known to the public. This is done for three reasons. First, the comparison helps to ensure that patents issue only in cases where an inventor has made a non-trivial contribution to the public’s store of knowledge. Second, it protects a possible reliance interest on the part of the public since, once an invention is widely known, members of the public might …

The Zen Of Corporate Capital Structure Neutrality, Herwig J. Schlunk

Michigan Law Review

It is well understood that corporate capital structure affects tax collections. Most basically, corporate interest expense is deductible. With each interest accrual, the corporate tax base shrinks. Thus, there is a broad range of circumstances in which corporate managers are encouraged by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") to load their corporate capital structures with debt. But there is little support for the proposition that Conpress desires corporations to adopt such debt-laden capital structures. Indeed, much tax legislation suggests congressional displeasure with the achievable degree of corporate self- integration. On the other hand, corporate equity has its charms: shareholders are …

The Exclusion Of Hiv-Positive Immigrants Under The Nicaraguan Adjustment And Central American Relief Act And The Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act, Statutory Interpretation, Communicable Disease, Public Health, Legislative Intent, Shayna S. Cook

Michigan Law Review

The United States has turned away immigrants infected with the human immunodeficiency virus ("HIV") under the public health exclusion of the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") since the mid-1980's. Since Congress codified the HIV exclusion in 1993, any alien applying for an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa, adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident, or refugee status must first have a blood test for HIV. The HIV exclusion is not absolute, however. Each HIV-positive alien can apply for one of two waivers of the HIV exclusion that are available in the INA. When an alien applies for immigrant or permanent resident …

Thickness Analysis Of Silicon Membranes For Stencil Masks, E. Sossna, R. Kassing, I. W. Rangelow, C. M. Herzinger, T. E. Tiwald, John A. Woollam, Th. Wagner

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

Stencil masks are key to charged particle projection lithography, in particular for ion projection lithography. To fulfill pattern printing requirements in the sub-70 nm regime, excellent thickness uniformity and thermal emissivity control are critical parameters for high quality stencil mask fabrication. We propose and demonstrate a technique based on infrared variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (IR-VASE) to measure these parameters with adequate accuracy and precision. The refractive index of the Si membrane was evaluated using a Sellmeier dispersion model combined with a Drude model. Because of its spectral range from 2 to 33 μm, the IR-VASE method is sensitive to the …

Seeking Transformative Justice For Women: Views From Canada, Karlene Faith

Journal of International Women's Studies

From the article:

My purpose here is to situate gender as a key factor in a historical movement toward prison abolition. A shift toward restorative or transformative justice, theoretically, is reintegrative in that it benefits the offender, the victim and the community. The first offenders to be diverted from prison to any new program are generally those with the least serious offences and/or those who pose no risk of committing violence; women commonly fall into this category, but, as discussed, very few community alternatives exist for them. The last section addresses some of the key issues facing women in prison, …

A Feminist Genealogy Of The Woman’S Christian Temperance Union: Re-Membering Our Selves, Dorothy A. Lander

Journal of International Women's Studies

From the article:

The purpose of my memory work project and this article is to begin to create a “history of the present” (Dean, 1994) through collective remembering in Lipsitz’s (1988) sense of “shared experiences and perceptions about the past that legitimate action in the present” (p. 288). I adapt Nasstrom’s (1999) analysis of memory and narrative and women’s activism to the memory work with my WCTU family, friends and neighbours in the farming community in Ontario where I grew up. We “become historical actors who intervene between the past and the present, continually reframing the movement” (p. 134).

Producer Protection Act Of 2000, J. David Aiken

Cornhusker Economics

Agricultural production contracts are becoming more widespread in Nebraska. (Contract production should be distinguished from custom farming, which is not at issue here). Under ag production contracts, farmers may contract to produce crops or livestock typically for processors. Contracting is widespread in the broiler industry, and is becoming more common in the swine and beef industry, and for some crops. The Producer Protection Act of 2000 (PPA) is a proposed model state statute prepared by the National Association of Attorney Generals to deal with legal issues associated with agricultural contracting. The PPA was developed in order to avoid some problems …

Electric Field-Induced Acoustic-Optic Mode Coupling In An Anticlinic Liquid Crystal, Shiyong Zhang, Rolfe G. Petschek, Charles Rosenblatt

Faculty Scholarship

A dc electric field was applied perpendicular to the tilt plane of a pitch-compensated (unwound helix) anticlinic liquid crystal. By means of quasielastic light scattering, the field was found to couple the acoustic and optic Goldstone modes, resulting in an increase of the relaxation time τβ of the acoustic like eigenmode. Elastic constants were estimated from the relaxation time data.

Voltage Stability Analysis: V-Q Power Flow Simulation Versus Dynamic Simulation, Badrul H. Chowdhury, C. W. Taylor

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Several analysis methods are available for long-term voltage stability. The V-Q curve power flow method is widely used by Western Systems Coordinating Council utilities, and has some advantages. Long-term dynamic simulation with proper modeling, however, is clearly the most accurate simulation method. The authors compare the two methods for wintertime voltage stability problems in the Portland, Oregon, USA, load area. Results from the V-Q method can be misleading. The same is true of other power flow program based analysis employing conventional modeling. Results from these power flow methods may be pessimistic, causing overdesign or overly conservative operation.

Eco- Industrial Parks A Feasibility Study For San Francisco, Lemont Erick Adams

Master's Projects

The this report addresses the feasibility of developing an Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) on the Pier 90-94 Baeklands site adjacent to the Bay View Hunters Point area of San Francisco. The Eco-Industrial Park concept is a new paradigm of Industrial Ecology, in which, an industrial system of planned materials and energy exchanges occurs, creating sustainable economic, ecological and social relationships. Communities like Hunters Point suffering from severe economic distress and Environmental Justice issues can potentially alleviate environmental and economic degradation through the development of an EIP. Eco- Industrial development fits with other existing economic development approaches planners currently use, such as …

A Study Of The Eastern Santa Clara Street Business District, Kumi Kikuzawa

Master's Projects

In many cities that have experienced fast growth, the aging of commercial districts has been an issue. As the city has sprawled, suburban shopping centers have been in more demand than aging inner-city commercial districts. As a result, they have been blighted and declined, and have become a target for redevelopment and revitalization.

The City of San Jose is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. Since the 1960’s, San Jose has shifted from a farming community to the center of Silicon Valley (San Jose 1994a, 1). San Jose is now the largest city in Santa Clara County …

High Strain Rate Superplasticity In Microcrystalline And Nanocrystalline Materials, S. X. Mcfadden, A. V. Sergueeva, Rajiv S. Mishra, A. K. Mukherjee

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Superplasticity has evolved to become a significant industrial forming process. The phenomenon of superplasticity is explored at high strain rates where it is economically more attractive. True tensile superplasticity has been demonstrated in nanocrystalline materials. The difference in the details of superplasticity between the nanocrystalline and microcrystalline state is emphasised.
