A Framework Of Norms: International Human-Rights Law And Sovereignty, Douglass Cassel Jan 2001

A Framework Of Norms: International Human-Rights Law And Sovereignty, Douglass Cassel

Journal Articles

The international legal boundary between states; rights and human rights is not fixed. Long ago, the Permanent Court of International Justice - the judicial arm of the League of Nations and the precursor to the present International Court of Justice - recognized that "the question whether a certain matter is or is not solely within the jurisdiction of a State is an essentially relative question; it depends on the development of international relations." In recent decades international relations concerning both sovereignty and rights have developed quickly. An examination of those rights and the evolving realities of sovereignty are examined.


A Penalty Method For Approximations Of The Stationary Power-Law Stokes Problem, Lew Lefton, Dongming Wei Jan 2001

A Penalty Method For Approximations Of The Stationary Power-Law Stokes Problem, Lew Lefton, Dongming Wei

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We study approximations of the steady state Stokes problem governed by the power-law model for viscous incompressible non-Newtonian flow using the penalty formulation. We establish convergence and find error estimates


Decay Estimates Of Heat Transfer To Melton Polymer Flow In Pipes With Viscous Dissipation, Dongming Wei, Zhenbu Zhang Jan 2001

Decay Estimates Of Heat Transfer To Melton Polymer Flow In Pipes With Viscous Dissipation, Dongming Wei, Zhenbu Zhang

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In this work, we compare a parabolic equation with an elliptic equation both of which are used in modeling temperature profile of a power-law polymer flow in a semi-infinite straight pipe with circular cross section. We show that both models are well-posed and we derive exponential rates of convergence of the two solutions to the same steady state solution away from the entrance. We also show estimates for difference between the two solutions in terms of physical data.


Compressional Pc5 Type Pulsations In The Morningside Plasma Sheet, A. Vaivads, W. Baumjohann, G. Haerendel, R. Nakamura, H. Kucharek, B. Klecker, M. R. Lessard, L. M. Kistler, T. Mukai, A. Nishida Jan 2001

Compressional Pc5 Type Pulsations In The Morningside Plasma Sheet, A. Vaivads, W. Baumjohann, G. Haerendel, R. Nakamura, H. Kucharek, B. Klecker, M. R. Lessard, L. M. Kistler, T. Mukai, A. Nishida

Dartmouth Scholarship

We study compressional pulsations in Pc5 frequency range observed in the dawn-side at distances of about 10 RE, close to the magnetic equator. We use data obtained during two events of conjunctions between Equator-S and Geotail: 1000-1700 UT on 9 March 1998, and 0200-0600 UT on 25 April 1998. In both events, pulsations are observed after substorm activity. The pulsations are antisymmetric with respect to the equatorial plane (even mode), and move eastward with phase velocity close to plasma velocity. The pulsations tend to be pressure balanced. We also discuss possible generation mechanisms of the pulsations.


On Castles And Commerce: Zoning Law And The Home Business Dilemma, Nicole Stelle Garnett Jan 2001

On Castles And Commerce: Zoning Law And The Home Business Dilemma, Nicole Stelle Garnett

Journal Articles

Most zoning laws severely restrict residents' ability to work from home. Some prohibit it outright. These regulations serve the ostensible purpose of protecting neighbors from externalities that might be generated by home businesses. But, home occupation restrictions also reflect in a particularly sharp way the central motivating ideology underlying all zoning laws - namely, that the good life requires the careful segregation of work and home. Today, home business regulations are being challenged by both planning theory and economic reality. At the same time that many in the academy and planning professions are calling into question zoning's pervasive segregation of …


One Of A Kind - Professor Emeritus Charles E. Rice, Robert E. Rodes Jan 2001

One Of A Kind - Professor Emeritus Charles E. Rice, Robert E. Rodes

Journal Articles

In the spring of 1959, when I was faculty advisor of the law review (then called the Notre Dame Lawyer), and my future colleague Bob Blakey was the student associate editor, we worked together on an article called A.I.D.—An Heir of Controversy. The subject, artificial insemination from a donor, was interesting, the treatment was at once lively, rueful, and orthodox, and the conclusion was an engaging shrug of the shoulders: "Upon that note . . . your writer respectfully throws in the towel.'' The author, a graduate of Boston College Law School taking an advanced degree at New York University, …


An Analysis Of Speed Limit Policies For Indiana, Nisar M. Khan, Kumares C. Sinha Jan 2001

An Analysis Of Speed Limit Policies For Indiana, Nisar M. Khan, Kumares C. Sinha

JTRP Technical Reports

The repeal of the National maximum Speed Limit law in 1995 enabled individual states to set their own speed limits. Speed limits are necessary to ensure mobility while preserving highway safety. It is important that states continually monitor and evaluate existing operating speeds in the context of changing patterns of travel, and changing characteristics of highways, vehicles, drivers, and land-use. Any efforts to review existing speed limits should be accompanied by evaluation of policy impacts such as safety and economic productivity. The goal of this research is to develop a set of speed limit policy guidelines for the state. The …

Group Learning In Technical Courses, Donald E. Smith Jan 2001

Group Learning In Technical Courses, Donald E. Smith

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

It is one thing to utilize group learning techniques in non-technical courses in which a group discussion on the meaning of a literary passage or the effects of an economic or political decision could take advantage of a group dynamic and all that group participation has to offer. It is quite another when the subject material is purely technical and relatively unyielding as in math or physics based courses.


The Benefits Of Professional And Youth Art In An Airport Community, Kathleen Thompson Jan 2001

The Benefits Of Professional And Youth Art In An Airport Community, Kathleen Thompson

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Although few would initially consider an airport a community, these sprawling sites of aviation technology do qualify according to the definition in the Wordsworth's Concise English Dictionary. Community: common possessions or enjoyment: people having common rights: a body of persons in the same locality: leading a common life: a common affinity. Certainly the thousands that enter daily any major hub share common possessions, rights, a shared locality, and an affinity or need for travel. More than a few frenzied business flyers might admit that their base airport is a more familiar location than their suburban or urban neighborhood.

The Evolution Of Fractional Ownership: A Literature Review, D. Scott Worrells, David A. Newmyer, Jose R. Ruiz Jan 2001

The Evolution Of Fractional Ownership: A Literature Review, D. Scott Worrells, David A. Newmyer, Jose R. Ruiz

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Fractional ownership of business aircraft has evolved into a major force affecting not only business aviation, but also all of general aviation. This paper provides a history of fractional ownership, an explanation of how it works, the climate that has fostered its growth, how it compares to other "traditional" means of air travel, and an examination of challenges affecting its future. There are three key findings in this paper. The first is that a range of usefulness has evolved for fractional aircraft ownership as compared to total aircraft ownership or charter services. This range of usefulness, based on a compilation …


Weathering Effects On Selected Aircraft Fabric Covering Processes, Daryl Hammond Jan 2001

Weathering Effects On Selected Aircraft Fabric Covering Processes, Daryl Hammond

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

This paper examines the effects of accelerated weathering on samples of aircraft covering prepared using the Grade-A cotton with Randolph dope, Ceconite with Randolph dope, Cooper Superflite 11, Air-Tech Coatings, and Stits Poly- Fiber processes. The results indicate that although Air-Tech and Superflite processes were the heaviest, both maintained excellent gloss retention over the accelerated weathering cycle. Ceconite with Randolph dope was the least stable in yellowing degradation while Stits was the best performer. Strength degradation was most pronounced in the Superflite process. Thermal stress testing showed all processes exhibited heat and flame resistance loss due to weathering.


Controlled Flight Into Terrain: How The Airlines And The Federal Aviation Administration Are Addressing The Problem, Roger C. Matteson Jan 2001

Controlled Flight Into Terrain: How The Airlines And The Federal Aviation Administration Are Addressing The Problem, Roger C. Matteson

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) is not a new problem. It has been around since the beginning of manned flight. A CFIT accident occurs when an airworthy aircraft, under the control of a pilot, is flown (unintentionally) into terrain, water, or obstacles with inadequate awareness on the part of the pilot (crew) of the impending collision (Wiener, 1977). It would seem that CFIT would be an easy problem to solve or reduce but unfortunately, that has not been the case. CFIT is still the leading cause of all fatal aircraft accidents in the world. Figure 1 illustrates the CFIT accident …


Accreditation Of Collegiate Aviation’S Distance Education Programs: Now And In The Future, Brent D. Bowen, Nanette Scarpellini, Mary Fink Jan 2001

Accreditation Of Collegiate Aviation’S Distance Education Programs: Now And In The Future, Brent D. Bowen, Nanette Scarpellini, Mary Fink

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

The purpose of this research endeavor is to benchmark and evaluate the accreditation status of aviation distance education programs in the United States. This study examines both the expanding role of distance education as a delivery method for aviation courses as well as the need for establishing standards. The research methods provide data collection through content analysis, literature review, and a survey tool mailed to aviation professionals nationwide. The findings reveal that, in general, most disciplines are either just beginning to approach the subject of distance education accreditation of programs or do not deal with the issue at all. The …


Yield Management, Carlos Alberto Castro Pena Jan 2001

Yield Management, Carlos Alberto Castro Pena

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Historically, airlines have operated in a tightly regulated environment. This environment has been regulated by governments and self-regulated through organizations such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) The early airline policy for the fare activities was based on offering all the seats on the airplane (or in the coach of the airplane) at the same rate. When the industry entered the 1960s with bigger and faster planes, new types of fares were being approved by the Civil Aeronautical Board (CAB) on certain routes, including lower-night coach fares, and tour-basing fares. There were no capacity controls on these fares. All …
