Closed-Looped Molding System For The Foundry Industry, Ayax Rangel

Graduate Research Papers

Because of impending governmental regulations in regards to disposal of waste materials and decreasing sand mine deposits, foundries are interested in studying new aggregate materials for mold production to successfully achieve environmental, supply, and quality challenges. There are two main issues to be addressed in the short term: 1) extend the lifetime of the molding materials to reduce disposal costs and 2) reduce exposure to crystalline produced by silica sand. Small and medium-sized foundries are at an economic disadvantage in integrating new technologies to comply with these new challenges.

Accuracy Of Predictive Methods To Estimate Resting Energy Expenditure Of Thermally-Injured Patients, Roland N. Dickerson, Jane M. Gervasio, Marti L. Riley, James E. Murrell, William L. Hickerson, Kenneth A. Kudsk, Rex O. Brown

Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS

Background

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bias and precision of 46 methods published from 1953 to 2000 for estimating resting energy expenditure (REE) of thermally injured patients.

Methods

Twenty-four adult patients with ≥20% body surface area burn admitted to a burn center who required specialized nutrition support and who had their REE measured via indirect calorimetry (IC) were evaluated. Patients with morbid obesity, human immunovirus, malignancy, pregnancy, hepatic or renal failure, neuromuscular paralysis, or those requiring a FiO2 >50% or positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≥10 cm H2O were excluded. One steady-state measured REE measurement (MEE) …

Herbal Product Use Among Anticoagulation Patients, Ilene H. Zuckerman, Eileen K. Steinberger, Priscilla T. Ryder, Stuart Haines

Scholarship and Professional Work – COPHS

Warfarin interacts with many conventional drug products and herbal products,^1-3 Given the incompleteness of information on drug-herbal product interactions and the potential for health care practitioners to be unaware of their patients' utilization of herbal products, we surveyed the use of such products among patients receiving warfarin through an anticoagulation clinic. Patients at the University of Maryland Medical System Anticoagulation Clinic were asked to complete an anonymous written questionnaire during their regularly scheduled appointments over one month.

Massachusetts Regulations On Cigarette Advertising Are Preempted By The Federal Cigarette Labeling And Advertising Act And Massachusetts Regulations On Cigar And Smokeless Tobacco Advertising Fail The Central Hudson Test For Commercial Speech And Violate The First Amendment: Lorillard Tobacco Co. V. Reilly, Angela M. Sheffler

Duquesne Law Review

The United States Supreme Court held that Massachusetts regulations regarding point-of-sale and outside cigarette advertising were preempted by the FCLAA. The majority also held that Massachusetts regulations regarding point-of-sale and outside cigar and smokeless tobacco advertising failed the Central Hudson four-part test for commercial speech because the regulations were too broad to be constitutional. However, the Court held that the Massachusetts regulations regarding sale of tobacco products passed the Central Hudson test because of the substantial interest of Massachusetts that was promoted and the regulations were narrow enough to be constitutional.

Cooperation Between Law Enforcement And State Hospitals In Warrantless, Nonconsensual Drug Testing Of Maternity Patients Is Unconstitutional Under The Fourth Amendment: Ferguson V. City Of Charleston, Nicholas J. Zidik

Duquesne Law Review

The United States Supreme Court held that a state hospital's policy of drug testing maternity patients without their consent, in conjunction with law enforcement, constitutes an unreasonable search prohibited by the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution; the state's interest in deterring pregnant women from drug use does not justify variance from the general rule that official nonconsensual searches are unconstitutional if not executed according to and accompanied by a valid search warrant.

The Broken Safety Valve: Judicial Discretion's Failure To Ameliorate Punishment Under California's Three Strikes Law, Alex Ricciardulli

Duquesne Law Review

This Article suggests that the power of judges to reduce sentences imposed under California's Three Strikes law has not diminished the severity of punishment meted out under the law. The Article traces the development of California's Three Strikes Law, assesses the importance of judicial discretion in analyzing the constitutionality of the Three Strikes Law, and illustrates the limited nature of judicial power under the law. The Article also analyzes empirical evidence concerning the Three Strikes law to determine that the evidence corroborates the inefficacy of judicial power. The Article concludes that there are only two meaningful ways to alleviate the …

Unduly Influenced Trust Revocations, Mark R. Siegel

Duquesne Law Review

This article addresses both the will and the revocable trust as vehicles to accomplish gratuitous property dispositions, and analyzes the requisite mental capacity necessary to convey property during life and after death. This article focuses on undue influence in such situations, and the use of constructive trusts as remedial tools to rectify cases of undue influence. The author concludes by proposing that because of the existence of available and adequate probate and trust remedies, trust beneficiaries harmed as a result of undue influence should first resort to the equitable remedy of constructive trusts before being able to pursue a legal …

Legal Presumptions And The Role Of Mental Health Professionals In Child Custody Proceedings, Janet M. Bowermaster

Duquesne Law Review

In child custody cases, mental health professionals are frequently used to evaluate the fitness of parents, the effects of child-parent separation, and the best interest of the child. Frequently, however, the courts delegate custody decision-making authority to those mental health professionals. This article examines the history and use of legal presumptions in child custody law, and ultimately questions the propriety of the role that mental health professionals currently play in custody disputes.

Probability And Statistics In The Legal Curriculum: A Case Study In Disciplinary Aspects Of Interdisciplinary, Mike Townsend, Thomas Richardson

Duquesne Law Review

This Article provides a general taxonomy for various types of educational interdisciplinarity. The discussion focuses, however, on what is called crossdisciplinary education, using a particular mathematics-based example to illustrate how crossdisciplinary education can be used to ask law students to (re)examine law as a discipline. The Article considers interdisciplinarity and the legal curriculum in the context of probability and statistics, using the well-known jury discrimination case of Castaneda v. Partida as a case study. The Article concludes with some brief observations on the importance of thinking about law as a discipline. This is the third installment of a work in …

The Educational Pipelinie For Women In Biology: No Longer Leaking?, Louise Luckenbill-Edds

ADVANCE Library Collection

Describing the past 30 years of progress toward gender equity in science, one observer wrote: "Although optimistic about future prospects, I must also point out some daunting toads and serpents lurking in the gardens of science. These challenge the rising generation of young scientists to be no less intrepid [that past activists who catalyzed change]" (Herschbach 1999, p. 66). The failure of the sciences to attract and retain women has meant a loss of diversity, as well as a loss of talent and creativity, that impoverishes research viewpoints and limits effective communication of science with diverse sectors of society.

Environmental Assessment : Middle Salt Creek Canyon Access Plan Canyonlands National Park, Utah, National Park Service, U.S. Department Of The Interior, Canyonlands National Park

Canyonlands Research Bibliography

Salt Creek is the largest drainage in the Needles district of Canyonlands National Park. The creek supports one of the most important riparian ecosystems in the park.
