Multi-Disciplinary Professional Practices: A Consumer Welfare Perspective, Michael Trebilcock, Lila Csorgo

Dalhousie Law Journal

Multi-disciplinary professional practices (MDPs) involving lawyers, accountants and otherprofessionals, have been the subject of considerable industrystudyand controversy in Canada and abroad. In this article, the authors evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of MDPs strictly from a consumer welfare perspective. They argue that, although MDP critics' concerns surrounding such issues as solicitor-client privilege, independence, conflicts of interest, and unauthorized practice are valid, they are often overstated and are, in many cases, encountered even today by professionals outside the MDP context. The advantages to consumers of permitting the evolution of such practices would, in any event, significantly outweigh such disadvantages. The authors'analysis …

The Effects Of Cultural Values On Acceptance Of Human Resource Management Decisions, Ying Liu

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

The present study examined the effects of six culture values, including Hofstede's (1984, 1991) power distance, individualism/collectivism, long-term and short-term orientation, Trompenaars'1994) achievement/ascription, universalism/particularism, and relationship to nature, on reactions to human resource management decisions. Data were collected from 110 Chinese students in China and 82 American students in the U.S. A questionnaire containing vignettes depicting different human resource management practices was used to measure the impact of cultural values. Omnibus multivariate analysis of variance revealed significant differences between Chinese and Americans on the cultural values of power distance, collectivism/individualism, long-term and short term orientation, ascription/achievement, and the relationship to …

Life Study: A Collection Of Persona Poetry, Denise Louise Mcnelly

English Theses & Dissertations

In an attempt for both the author and readers to better understand the personae presented in "Life Study," this collection of verse emerged. Using the form of the persona poem, the author includes the voices of such diverse personae as one who experiences hang-gliding in an ethereal way, to a woman who sues an alcohol company for her husband's alcoholism, to a geographically-isolated youngster dealing with a society of which she is not a part, to one who has survived physical violence. In this way, "Life Study" allows readers particular glimpses into numerous and often astounding experiences and thoughts of …

Soldiers In Cities: Military Operations On Urban Terrain, Michael Desch Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

In the past half-century, the classic military conflict of armies maneuvering in the field has been replaced by conflicts that center on, rather than avoid, heavily populated areas. Modern military conflict more frequently is not just a fight to control villages or cities, but a variation on the timeless wish to control populations and the hearts of nations. The hardware and mass orientation of the levee en masse and industrial-age armies is being replaced by sophisticated terrorists, information warfare, and the politics of mass persuasion. These are reshaping the face of warfare. This book focuses on identifying the lessons of …

The Emergence Of Mechanisms For Cross-Border Insolvencies In Canadian Law, Sean Dargan

Connecticut Journal of International Law

In 1983, the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Michigan dealt a blow to the generally cordial relations between the United States and Canada when it ignored a petition granted in the Supreme Court of Ontario in Bankruptcy.' In Toga, the U.S. Court denied a Canadian bankruptcy trustee's request for injunction against a U.S. creditor under 11 U.S.C. §304, holding that it was the court's duty to "protect United States citizens' claims against foreign judgments inconsistent with this country's well-defined and accepted policies."' While Toga is usually examined under the lens of §304 of U.S. Chapter 11,3 …

The Genesis, Structure, And Projection Of The New Mexican Insolvency Law, Luis Manuel C. Mejan

Connecticut Journal of International Law

A survey of former Mexican laws reveals antecedents of current laws related to insolvency. The first bankruptcy law, enacted in 1853, followed two models: a French law, enacted in 1802, and a Spanish statute, enacted in 1892. Further, commercial codes, enacted in 1854, 1883, and 1890 (the latter of which is still in effect), had specific chapters on the subject. In 1942, a team chaired by an outstanding lawyer, Mr. Joaquin Rodriguez y Rodriguez, drafted the Bankruptcy Law (Ley de Quiebras y Suspension de Pagos), which was later enacted by Congress. Except for one small amendment, added in 1987, the …

Robert Zemeckis's Contact As A Late-Twentieth Century Paradiso, Gregory M. Sadlek

Journal of Religion & Film

The film Contact employs a plot and literary motifs that are in many ways parallel to those in Dante's Paradiso. Although the film's philosophical and theological content has received mixed reviews, the film has deep significance because it not only seeks to convey a religious experience but also offers a kind of existential consolation similar to that offered by Dante. This is true even though the film is grounded in a vision of the numinous that is congruent not with the Dante's cosmos but with late twentieth-century science and cosmology. Contact, then, is a Dantean film that can …

The Emerging Reference Paradigm: A Vision Of Reference Services In A Complex Information Environment, Scott Mandernack, John W. Fritch

Library Faculty Research and Publications

The emerging reference paradigm in a complex, technologically rich information environment tends toward a more deliberate blending of the conservative and liberal philosophies of reference. As key agents in the advancement of society and culture, librarians must recognize the value of community and the social context of information in providing services that support and enhance the full range of contemporary user needs.

Spectroscopy And Orbital Periods Of Four Cataclysmic Variable Stars, John R. Thorstensen, Cynthia J. Taylor

Dartmouth Scholarship

We present spectroscopy and orbital periods P_orb of four relatively little-studied cataclysmic variable stars. The stars and their periods are: AF Cam, P_orb = 0.324(1) d (the daily cycle count is slightly ambiguous); V2069 Cyg (= RX J2123.7+4217), 0.311683(2) d; PG 0935+075, 0.1868(3) d; and KUV 03580+0614, 0.1495(6) d. V2069 Cyg and KUV 03580+0614 both show He iiλ4686 emission comparable in strength to Hβ. V2069 Cyg appears to be a luminous nova-like variable, and the strong He ii suggests it may be an intermediate polar. The period of KUV 03580+0614 is similar to members …

Reifying Communication At The Application Level, Andrew P. Black, Jie Huang, Jonathan Walpole

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Middleware, from the earliest RPC systems to recent Object-Oriented Remote Message Sending (RMS) systems such as Java RMI and CORBA, claims transparency as one of its main attributes. Coulouris et al. define transparency as “the concealment from the … application programmer of the separation of components in a distributed system.” They go on to identify eight different kinds of transparency.

We considered titling this paper “Transparency Considered Harmful”, but that title is misleading because it implies that all kinds of transparency are bad. This is not our view. Rather, we believe that the choice of which transparencies should be offered …

Implementation Of Zurich’S Transit Priority Program, Mti Report 01-13, Andrew Butler Nash

Mineta Transportation Institute

The objective of this research was to describe transit priority techniques in Zürich and understand how the city implemented its program. Most transit priority improvements are relatively simple and inexpensive; however, they have proved to be difficult to implement and sustain. The research effort consisted of a case study with interviews and surveys. We interviewed many persons associated with the development and implementation of Zürich’s transit priority program. A survey to evaluate support of transportation decision-makers in Santa Clara County, California, illustrated transit improvements in a typical U.S. city. The data was compared to a similar survey in Zürich. The …

Using Fiber Networks To Stimulate Transit-Oriented Development: Prospects Barrier And Best Practices, Mti Report 01-16, Walter Siembab

Mineta Transportation Institute

This study empirically examines a practical aspect of a relationship that is only now being conceptualized––the relationship between rail transit, land development, and telecommunications. It pushes the envelope of knowledge in so far as the interaction between just two of the factors, public transportation and land use (urban form), has been a focus of policy research for only about 30 years, especially the last 10 years. This study is concerned with the feasibility of introducing three telecommunications-based incentives for transit-oriented development. The market for these hypothetical incentives is the developers of transit-oriented projects. California’s Bay Area/Santa Clara Valley and Los …
