Stem Cells, Cloning, And Abortion: Making Careful Distinctions, Dena S. Davis Jan 2002

Stem Cells, Cloning, And Abortion: Making Careful Distinctions, Dena S. Davis

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

The current controversy over federal funding for research involving stem cells derived from very early embryos is situated between two other equally difficult issues: abortion and cloning. As Laurie Zoloth (2002) says, talk about stem cells is "directly proximate" to the abortion debate. Nonetheless, a settled position in favor of abortion rights does not necessarily lead to support for research that involves the death of embryos. Nor should opposition to reproductive cloning necessarily entail opposition to therapeutic cloning. There are important ways in which our attitudes toward research with embryonic stem cells ought to be entwined with our thinking about …

The Free Exercise Rights Of Pregnant Women Who Refuse Medical Treatment, April L. Cherry Jan 2002

The Free Exercise Rights Of Pregnant Women Who Refuse Medical Treatment, April L. Cherry

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

In Part II, I outline the values protected by the free exercise clause. I also analyze modern free exercise jurisprudence, ending with the status of religious exemptions from laws of general applicability since the Supreme Court's decision in Employment Division v. Smith, which severely limits the situations in which strict scrutiny will be applied to analyze government actions that compels a religious believer to act contrary to her beliefs. In Part III, I first discuss the law regarding the right to refuse medical treatment. I then explore the states' rationales for using the force of law on pregnant women who …

The European Union: An Appropriate Model For A Precautionary Approach?, Linda O'Neil Coleman Jan 2002

The European Union: An Appropriate Model For A Precautionary Approach?, Linda O'Neil Coleman

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment will argue that the current use and application of the precautionary principle should not be abandoned. However, before adopting the principle as a rule of international law, the international community should look to the European Union as a starting point for how to uniformly define and apply the precautionary principle. Accordingly, Part II of this Comment will examine the various formulations of the precautionary principle and the widespread adoption of a precautionary approach in a number of international instruments. Part III will describe the European Union's use of the principle and its attempt to balance environmental and public …

Sar Simulations In Wireless Communication And Safety Discussions In The Society, M. O. Özyalçin, Funda Akleman, Levent Sevgi̇ Jan 2002

Sar Simulations In Wireless Communication And Safety Discussions In The Society, M. O. Özyalçin, Funda Akleman, Levent Sevgi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Numerical simulation in cellular phone - human tissue interaction is discussed in this paper. The powerful time domain (TD) techniques, the transmission line matrix (TLM) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods, are used to model mutual effects. The purpose is to calculate specific absorption rate (SAR; defined as the power absorbed by the unit mass of the tissue), validate the codes and verify the results. Also, effectiveness of the SAR parameter in determination of the exposure limits for human health and environmental pollution is discussed.

Real-Time Measurement Of Surface Deformation Of Rotating Blades, Jay Maudlin, Ajay Mohan Mahajan, Tsuchin P. Chu Jan 2002

Real-Time Measurement Of Surface Deformation Of Rotating Blades, Jay Maudlin, Ajay Mohan Mahajan, Tsuchin P. Chu

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Research

This paper presents the results for the real-time measurement of surface deformation of rotating elements. A digital image correlation technique is used to estimate the surface displacements and strains. Speckle patterns are spray painted on the surface of interest and digital images taken before and during deformation caused by rotary motion. The digital image of the deformed blade is taken by freezing the speckled pattern with the help of a stroboscope. The technique provides several advantages over traditional methods in terms of obtaining whole-field deformation profiles, a non-invasive measurement scheme, and a simple and economical set-up. Results are presented for …

Telecommunications And Its Future Role In The Public Transportation Arena, Sara J. Hendricks, Philip L. Winters, Cecilia Dyhouse

CUTR Research Reports

The objective of this report is to investigate current conditions in the application of telecommunications to TOM programs that support public transportation statewide. The report provides the results of a survey of transit agencies nationwide to ascertain whether transit agencies are currently using or plan to use telecommuting and telecommunications in their program of services in the future. The research also identifies trends in the telecommunications industry that may have a bearing on travel behavior and subsequent public transit planning. The report provides recommendations on how transit and other transportation agencies can respond to changing conditions.

Parametric And Non Parametric Testing For Income Convergence, James O. Bukenya, Tesfa Gebremedhin, Peter V. Schaeffer Jan 2002

Parametric And Non Parametric Testing For Income Convergence, James O. Bukenya, Tesfa Gebremedhin, Peter V. Schaeffer

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

This paper examines the degree to which per capita incomes have converged across counties in West Virginia over the last thirty years. The increase in government transfers and, possibly, other government assistance programs would suggest that incomes in spatially dispersed regions/counties within nation-state should become similar over this period. However, the interrelation between business cycles, migration, employment structure and changes in per capita earnings over time reduces this possibility. Comparable county data are obtained for two dissmilar regions: southern and eastern panhandle. The empirical results differ across the different measurement techniques used, but in general, the findings concur with the …

Structural Change Of The Chicago Economy: A Temporal Inverse Analysis, Yasuhide Okuyama, Michael Sonis, Geoffrey Hewings Jan 2002

Structural Change Of The Chicago Economy: A Temporal Inverse Analysis, Yasuhide Okuyama, Michael Sonis, Geoffrey Hewings

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Earlier study (Sonis and Hewings, 1998) proposed an alternative tool that can assist in exploiting trends and uncovering tendencies in individual sectors or groups of sectors within the context of an economy-wide system of accounts. In this paper, the methodology, Temporal Leontief Inverse Analysis, is applied to a set of annual input-output tables for the Chicago metropolitan economy during the period of 1980-97. The results are compared to the earlier analysis (Hewings et al., 1998, Okuyama et al., 2002a, and Okuyama et al. 2002b) to examine the method and to investigate further the structural changes of the Chicago economy.

A Spatial Logit Association Model For Cluster Detection, Ge Lin Jan 2002

A Spatial Logit Association Model For Cluster Detection, Ge Lin

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

In this paper, I propose a logit spatial association model for binary spatial events and develop a scan algorithm to search for spatial associations. I extend the traditional logit model with spatial autocorrelated component so that the model includes not only known risk factors, but also spatially autocorrelated regions as a control or explanatory factor. The case study of West Virginia Lung Cancer shows that the model effectively captures cool and hot spots in lung cancer mortality.

Interregion-Occupational Persistence And Dispersion: A Model Of Geographic And Occupational Mobility, Ge Lin, Christiadi Jan 2002

Interregion-Occupational Persistence And Dispersion: A Model Of Geographic And Occupational Mobility, Ge Lin, Christiadi

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

This paper represents the first attempt to develop a set of loglinear models that synthesize gravity models of interregional mobility and loglinear models of occupational mobility. The development of the model is progressed from a simple two-way mobility table analysis to a three-way analysis that controls for one aspect of mobility while investigating another and eventually to a four-way analysis that simultaneously assesses the joint effect of occupational and geographic mobility. An example based on data from the 1970 United States census demonstrates that the models can effectively capture the joint effect of occupational and geographic mobility. The results show …
