Towards Nonmonotonic Reasoning On Hierarchical Knowledge, Pascal Hitzler

Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications

W.C. Rounds and G.Q. Zhang have recently proposed to study a form of disjunctive logic programming generalized to algebraic domains [RZ01]. This system allows reasoning with information which is hierarchically structured and forms a (suitable) domain. We extend this framework to include reasoning with negative information, i.e. the implicit or explicit absence of bits of information. These investigations will naturally lead to a form of default reasoning which is strongly related to programming with answer sets to stable models, which has recently created much interest amongst artificial intelligence researchers concerned with knowledge representation and reasoning.

An Overview Of Canadian Privacy Law For Pharmaceutical And Device Manufacturers Operating In Canada, Erika Lietzan, John K. Fuson

Faculty Publications

On April 13, 2000, the Canadian Parliament enacted by Royal Assent the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The Act requires private organizations to comply with a code of “fair information practice,” which mandates individual consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. PIPEDA complements the Federal Privacy Act, which places similar obligations on government institutions. On January 1, 2002, the Act began to apply to personal information (including personal health information) collected, used, or disclosed by a federal work, undertaking, or business, and personal information (including personal health information) disclosed by any organization for consideration …

Brandenburg And The United States War On Incitement Abroad: Defending A Double Standard, Lyrissa Lidsky

Faculty Publications

While it is perfectly legitimate for the United States to attempt to persuade foreign citizens and media not to engage in advocacy of violent acts, the administration's rhetoric suggests that the United States expects foreign governments to take action against speech that would be protected by the First Amendment in the United States. What explains this apparent hypocrisy? Is this simply another example of the United States touting democracy at home while supporting despotism abroad? Or is the Brandenburg incitement standard so socially and culturally contingent that it is not appropriate for export, at least to the Arab Middle East? …

Teaching Forest Measurements Online: An Overview Of The Initial Experience At The University Of Arkansas-Monticello, Paul Doruska

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

A 3-credit, online forest measurement course designed for sophomore-level students was created and taught for the first time during Fall 2001 in the School of Forest Resources at the University of Arkansas-Monticello. Narrated PowerPoint presentations saved in html format were used to deliver the lecture material. An overview of the course material, the time required preparing the course, and issues that should be considered by first-time online instructors are discussed. All things considered, the course was a success despite the heavy upfront workload and technical issues encountered.

Distance Education In Fire Ecology, Mark Reed

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Oregon State University is developing a new distance education course in Wildland Fire Ecology. Professors from the departments of Forest Management, Forest Science, Rangeland Resources, and Fisheries and Wildlife are involved, as well as guest lecturers from BLM, Forest Service, and USGS. Course delivery will be via videotape and Blackboard Web pages. The six professors involved in designing the course initially were skeptical about the potential of distance education. However, they soon realized several advantages of this mode of education: being able to take students, via videotaped field trips, to many diverse biomes during any season of the year; bringing …

Comparing The Effectiveness Of Virtual And Traditional Forestry Field Tours, Elissa C. Easley, Richard A. Fletcher, Edward C. Jensen, Mark Rickenbach

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Virtual tours are among the many new Internet-based tools with potential applications in natural resource education. While technology exists to create virtual tour Web sites, little is understood about how they meet educational objectives and whether they can be complementary alternatives for traditional field tours. The Sustainable Forestry Partnership and the Forestry Media Center at Oregon State University created parallel virtual and field tours to compare these teaching techniques. Both tours illustrate the Montreal Process Criteria and Indicators for sustainable forestry and were offered to local members of the society of American Foresters, family forestland owners, and OSU faculty, staff, …

Using Dispute System Design Methods To Promote Good-Faith Participation In Court-Connected Mediation Programs, John M. Lande

Faculty Publications

This article discusses what can be done to promote productive behavior in mediation and reduce bad conduct. Although most participants do not abuse the mediation process, some people use mediation to drag out litigation, gain leverage for later negotiations, and generally wear down the opposition. Rules requiring good-faith participation are likely to be ineffective and possibly counterproductive. This article proposes using dispute system design principles to develop policies satisfying the interests of stakeholders in court-connected mediation programs. After outlining important interests of key stakeholder groups, including litigants, attorneys, courts, and mediators, the Article describes specific policies that could satisfy their …

The Digital Library: A Biography, Suzanne E. Thorin, Daniel Greenstein

Librarian Publications

The idea for the study took shape in a New York City steakhouse where four DLF directors met to reflect on the new roles and responsibilities that were emerging for their libraries as they entered an increasingly networked digital age.1 Realizing that lessons from the past were easier and perhaps more predictive than prognostications about the future, they suggested that a study of DLF member programs would reveal the history, aims, organization, and immediate challenges in their libraries The study progressed quickly, following the development of a lengthy (104-question) survey that was received and completed without complaint at DLF member …

"Artillery Lends Dignity To What Otherwise Would Be A Common Brawl": An Essay On Post-Modern Warfare And The Classification Of Captured Adversaries, Ralph Michael Stein

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This essay allows the writer to enter a fluid fray being played out almost day-by-day in the media and, of course, where it counts: in the administration of President George W. Bush. Conscious of the ebbs and drifts of both the current debates and desperately anxious not to be preempted by the march of a swiftly moving time frame, this essay suggests an approach to U.S. integration of generally accepted rules for the treatment of POWs that will advance both the war on terrorism and America's need to embrace the reality of the globalization of humanistic mores and notions about …

Structural Studies Of Dna Replication Proteins By X-Ray Crystallography And Molecular Dynamics, Yanxiang Zhao

Student Theses and Dissertations

Organisms that span evolutionary space utilize an assembly of proteins (the replicase) in a coordinated effort to faithfully replicate their genomes. This chromosomal replicase consists of three functionally distinct subassemblies. The first of these is the polymerase/exonuclease complex, which harbors DNA synthesis and proofreading activities. The second functional complex is the sliding clamp which adopts a ring-shaped structure, composed of either two or three protomers. It confers processivity onto the polymerase subunit by tethering it to the template. The third complex is the clamp loader complex, which loads the sliding clamp onto DNA using energy from ATP binding and hydrolysis. …

Zipro1: Fine Tuning Proliferation In Discrete Cell Populations, Christopher Wynder

Student Theses and Dissertations

Zipro 1 is a zinc finger transcription factor that has a restricted pattern of expression in several tissues. The main cells expressing Zipro1 are proliferating cells from epidermal lineages. This includes the cerebellar granule cells (GCs), nasal epithelia and dermal papilla. Through gene dosage experiments we have shown that Zipro1 is involved in proliferation GCs, Hair follicles and the Cranio-facial process. Overexpression of Zipro1 results an increase in the number of GCs, this increase in GCs directly regulates the appearance of secondary fissure in the cerebellum. Overexpression also results in follicular dysplasia caused by an increase in cells within dermal …

They reviewed literature, collected data through observations, interviews and photos and analyzed data. Issues of self esteem, self …

Spankers And Nonspankers: Where They Get Information On Spanking, Wendy A. Walsh

Sociology

Because spanking is common, puts children at risk for harmful side effects, and is ineffective as a positive behavior management tool, it is important to identify the kind of advice families receive about the appropriateness of spanking. Using the health belief model, I examined spankers and nonspankers on the spanking messages they received from eight sources of discipline information and how important they perceived these messages to be. Data from telephone interviews with 998 mothers with children aged 2 to 14 years showed that 33% of mothers rated advice from workshops, pediatricians, newspapers and magazines, and books as ‘‘very important.’’ …

Digital Color - Where Is The Market?, Barbara Pellow, Franziska Frey, Patricia Sorce

Books

Digital color was introduced in the marketplace almost a decade ago. Both Indigo and Xeikon introduced key new products, and early projections were that these technologies would take off. Initially, as with a number of new technologies, there were technical issues. Presses were unreliable; ink and toner didn’t stick to the paper; and the cost of consumables was too high to generate any substantial application transfer from offset technology. Today, Indigo has been taken over by HP. Xeikon faced bankruptcy and was acquired by Punch Technologies. And we are seeing the emergence of new suppliers for production color: Xerox with …

Print Media Distribution In A Digital Age, Frank Romano

Books

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a distributor of print media, and its policies and practices will engender short- and long-term effects on commercial printers, and by extension, their customers (publishers and marketers). Increasing mail rates may force publishers to seek electronic and other alternatives that in turn might lower mail volumes sufficiently to adversely affect Postal Service operations, causing a cycle of rate increases coupled with volume decreases. Simultaneously, electronic bill presentment and payment competes for that class of mail that essentially supports the USPS. These occurrences could threaten the infrastructure that supports universal mail service and could …

The Generation Beyond Print-On-Paper, Michael Kleper

Books

The purpose of this paper is to: • Compare and contrast paper display with on-screen display. • Examine the state-of-the-art in electronic “paper-like” screen display technology. • Highlight the screen display technologies that are under development and most likely to affect or replace print. • Introduce the subject of printed electronics. • Present comments from leaders in the display technology field. Today’s printing and publishing process involves repurposing content, publishing through multiple channels, and applying XML coding to separate form from content. All of these operations can serve, in one way or another, to disassociate print output from other forms …

Design To Production: The Critical Interface, Frank Cost

Books

The commercial printing industry serves nearly every other business and organization in the economy by maintaining a broad range of capabilities to produce printed goods and related services. Print designers use software tools that best suit their needs for creating file sets to submit to the printer. The process by which these customer files are processed and converted into formats compatible with print manufacturing is complex and heavily dependent on computer technology that has been evolving rapidly over the past several years. As capable as this technology is, the process of file conversion is still far from automated and file …
