Need Intellectual Property Be Everywhere? Against Ubiquity And Uniformity, David Vaver

Dalhousie Law Journal

Intellectual property is more prevalent in every corner of our working and leisure lives. International pressure, through both bilateral treaties and multilateral treaties is causing intellectual property law to standardize at high levels throughout the world. Legal standardization may be beneficial in general but is not so for intellectual property in either the developed or the developing world. The law in developed countries is currently incoherent and itself requires major reconsideration. The imposition of such a defective law on the developing world is helpful to neither side. The paper argues that current intensification and harmonization trends are therefore undesirable, and …

Roots And Shoots Of The H. Dan Heyn Vision: Indigenous Planting Design, 1950-1980, Elizabeth A. Heiny-Cogswell

Masters Theses

Indigenous planting design, the practice of incorporating regional native plant species into new landscape projects, is little studied. This trend is counter to the more known and accepted American practice of using exotic ornamental plant species. This thesis studies the work and context of one Texas landscape architect, H. Dan Heyn. Beginning in the 1950's and continuing through the 1980's, Heyn became committed to, and specialized in, the use of indigenous plants in his landscape architectural design practice.

This investigation shows the beginning and importance in Texas of the idea to use indigenous plants, the tremendous task involved to study …

Unfair Competition Under The Trips Agreement: Protection Of Data Submitted For The Registration Of Pharmaceuticals, Carlos María Correa

Chicago Journal of International Law

Before the entry into force of the TRIPS Agreement, countries had considerable latitude to determine rules for the protection of test data. The Agreement introduced the first international standard on the subject, as contained in its Article 39.3. But the Agreement is not a uniform law (it only establishes broad parameters for national rules). An important question is the extent to which the Agreement allows World Trade Organization ("WTO") members freedom to apply different approaches for test data protection and, in particular, the extent to which a competitive model- protection without exclusivity-is compatible with the minimum standards set forth by …

From The Core To The Peripheries: Multilateral Governance Of Malaria In A Multi-Cultural World, Obijiofor Aginam

Chicago Journal of International Law

This article discusses multilateral malaria control strategy, the RBM, its mission, vision, and relationship with traditional therapies in malaria-endemic societies, especially in Africa, where malaria is one of the biggest contributors to the burdens of disease. Because big multilateral partnerships like the RBM are almost always guilty of the charges of non-transparency, non-responsiveness, and insensitivity to the local constituencies they serve, I use Richard Falk's twin concepts of "globalism-from-above" and "globalism-from-below" to explore the interaction between the RBM and traditional therapies in malaria-endemic societies. In search of a transparent cosmopolitan malaria regime, I propose a transnational dialogue between all the …

Reflections On National Security And International Law Issues During The Clinton Administration, Judith A. Miller

Chicago Journal of International Law

Much has been written about how the end of the Cold War totally shifted the post World War II framework of foreign policy and national security assumptions for the United States, and for the rest of the world. Desert Storm underlined both that shift and the extraordinary military force that could be brought to bear by the United States. The Clinton Administration was obviously the first American administration forced to grapple with what that shift meant in terms of how to define our national interest; how and when to use the military; how to preserve or redefine our relationships with …

International Response To Human Cloning, Elizabeth L. Shanin

Chicago Journal of International Law

In September of 2001, the United Nations placed the topic of human cloning on its agenda at the request of France and Germany. These countries hope that negotiations regarding human cloning will prompt the UN to adopt "an international legal instrument banning the reproductive cloning of human beings." Currently, scientists can travel to one of the many countries lacking restrictions on cloning and attempt to clone humans without facing legal repercussions. An international regulatory regime, therefore, seems necessary if a prohibition on cloning is to be effective. An international treaty banning human cloning may not be the perfect solution; it …

Don’T Lose Scarce & Expensive Hay Through Storage Or Feeding, Bob Durland, Steve Pohl

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Does it make sense to invest the time, labor and equipment in harvesting hay and then lose 30% of it during storage? With a 1l50 # round bale, worth $65/ton, this would amount to a loss of 345 # of hay, valued at $11.21, per bale. A producer who feeds his own hay is not only out the value of the damaged hay, but may have to purchase additional feed to replace that lost, doubling his expense.

Drainage Around The Home, Hal Werner

Homeowner's Responsibilities For Using On-Site Sewage Treatment Systems, Russ Derickson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Do not generate more wastewater than the average daily flow (gallons per day) for which the on-site system was designed. Install a water meter to measure the volume of water being used by the household (or other facility) to determine the flow released into the on-site treatment system. If the system has a pump/lift station delivering septic tank effluent to the soil treatment unit, install an electrical event counter on each lift station. Install a water meter to measure water usage. The event counter will tally the number of pump operation cycles, which, if multiplied by the gallons pumped per …

Drinking Water Standards- Health Advisories Levels, Russ Derickson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Testing water is the first step in tackling domestic water quality problems. Water test reports will confirm your suspicion of quality problems. With results in hand you can determine the extent of the problem and the best alternative to solve it. A water test gives a quantifiable level of a contaminant at the time the sample was taken. These values usually are reported in mg/L (milligrams per liter).

Wastewater Treatment Systems For Rural Homes And Cabins, Russell Derickson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

If you are selecting a rural site for a new house or cabin, make wastewater treatment one of your top considerations. Many people have been financially surprised to learn, after buying that perfect lot on land away from a public sewer works, that their lot is not suitable for an on-site wastewater treatment system. The lot may be too small or the system will cost substantially more than the customary rate because of special construction requirements.

Development Of Diagnostic Approaches To Determine Sources Of Anthropogenic Stress Affecting Benthic Community Conditions In The Chesapeake Bay, Daniel M. Dauer, Michael F. Lane, Roberto J. Llansó

Benthic Applications

Benthic macrofauna are an important component of estuarine ecosystems. These organisms are a food source for higher trophic levels including fishes and crabs (Virnstein 1977, 1979; Holland et al. 1980; Dauer et al. 1982) and birds (Botton 1984; Quammen 1984). Benthic macrofauna affect both the physical and chemical properties of the sediment and the overlying water column (e.g., Rhoads and Young 1970; Rhoads 1973; Aller 1978, 1980), influence nutrient cycling (Rowe et al 1975; Zeiteschel 1980; Flint and Kamykowski 1984), and are capable of directly controlling phytoplankton biomass in the water column (Cleorn 1982; Officer et al 1982; Cohen et …

The Crisis Of Scientific Information Dissemination In North America, Gretta E. Siegel

Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations

Today, I wish to speak a little bit about my observations and concerns about what is happening in North America and in Europe in the area of scientific publishing. Part of my talk will touch upon economic and political environments as well, so a few disclaimers are needed: I am not an economist, I am not a political scientist, and I am not a publisher. I used to be a scientist, but I am not one now. I am a librarian, and my remarks are based on 17 years of observation and experience as a librarian. However, libraries exist in …
