Ethics And Genetic Engineering In Indian Philosophy, And Some Comparisons With Modern Western, Harold Coward Jan 2003

Ethics And Genetic Engineering In Indian Philosophy, And Some Comparisons With Modern Western, Harold Coward

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

In the context of India, Genetic Engineering research and technology is well underway. The Government of India has issued statements indicating that India "will fully utilize the availability of genetic engineering resources ... for maximizing output besides working out a sustainable program ...." Between November 22, 1998 and March 21, 1999 no less than 32 stories of genetic engineering research or technology developments appeared in India media sources - particularly the PTI News Agency and the Inter-Press Service in Delhi. The research spans a wide range from genetic studies of the human population of the Indian sub-continent to various agricultural …

Meeting 'The Mother Who Takes Across': Christian Encounters With The Fierce Goddesses Of Hinduism, Rachel Fell Mcdermott Jan 2003

Meeting 'The Mother Who Takes Across': Christian Encounters With The Fierce Goddesses Of Hinduism, Rachel Fell Mcdermott

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

This essay revolves around a simple question: what does Hindu-Christian dialogue look like from the Christian side when the Hindu side is represented by Saktism? Or, how do Christians, whether Protestant or Catholic, react and what do they learn when the Hindus they encounter worship a supreme female divinity who is both compassionate and wrathful, whose cult is often associated with blood sacrifice, whose philosophical underpinnings tend to be monistic, and some of whose devotees have been involved in esoteric, often sexual Tantric rites? Where are the cross-overs, the bridges to understanding?

Swami Abhishiktananda's Interreligious Hermeneutics Of The Upanishads, Edward T. Ulrich Jan 2003

Swami Abhishiktananda's Interreligious Hermeneutics Of The Upanishads, Edward T. Ulrich

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Swami Abhishiktananda was a French monk who came to India in 1948 to establish an "inculturated" form of Christian monasticism, a monasticism which would not simply reflect a European heritage but would be truly Indian life and culture. These led him to become greatly enamored of the Upanishads and to enter their spiritual world. yet he maintained his identity as a Catholic priest and strove to integrate the Upanishads with Christianity.

Cross-Shelf Habitat Utilization Patterns Of Reef Fishes In Southwestern Puerto Rico, John D. Christensen, Christopher F.G. Jeffrey, Chris Caldow, Mark E. Monaco, Matthew S. Kendall, Richard S. Appeldoorn Jan 2003

Cross-Shelf Habitat Utilization Patterns Of Reef Fishes In Southwestern Puerto Rico, John D. Christensen, Christopher F.G. Jeffrey, Chris Caldow, Mark E. Monaco, Matthew S. Kendall, Richard S. Appeldoorn

Gulf and Caribbean Research

In June 2000, the National Ocean Service and University of Puerto Rico initiated a long-term reef-fish-monitoring program in La Parguera, Puerto Rico. Objectives of this ongoing work are to: 1) develop spatially-explicit estimates of reef fish habitat utilization patterns to aid in defining essential habitats, and 2) provide a quantitative and ecologically sound foundation to delineate marine reserve boundaries. Central to this effort are recently completed digital and georeferenced benthic habitat maps for the near-shore waters of Puerto Rico. The GIS-based map served as a framework for development of a spatially stratified reef-fish-monitoring program across the shelf. Simultaneous collections of …

Connectivity Between Coastal Habitats Of Two Oceanic Caribbean Islands As Inferred From Ontogenetic Shifts By Coral Reef Fishes, I. Nagelkerken, G. Van Der Velde Jan 2003

Connectivity Between Coastal Habitats Of Two Oceanic Caribbean Islands As Inferred From Ontogenetic Shifts By Coral Reef Fishes, I. Nagelkerken, G. Van Der Velde

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for juveniles of coral reef fishes. Studies have mostly focused on the fish community of just one habitat, so the connectivity between different coastal habitats is often unclear. In this study, density and size of reef fish were determined using a single sampling technique in four non-estuarine bay habitats and four reef zones in Curaçao and Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles). The data indicate that of the complete reef fish community at least 21 species show ontogenetic crossshelf shifts in habitat utilization. The 21 species mainly utilized shallow-water habitats (mangroves, seagrass beds, channel …

Population Biology Of The Ghost Shrimp Sergio Trilobata (Biffar 1970) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Thalassinidea), J.L. Corsetti, K.M. Strasser Jan 2003

Population Biology Of The Ghost Shrimp Sergio Trilobata (Biffar 1970) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Thalassinidea), J.L. Corsetti, K.M. Strasser

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Sergio trilobata is a common burrowing crustacean found in Tampa Bay, Lemon Bay, and Miami, Florida, where it inhabits mainly intertidal soft sediments (Biffar 1971, Manning and Lemaitre 1993 ). Although S. trilobata is a dominant member of the benthic community, very little is known about population dynamics and reproduction of these thalassinideans. The population biology of this ghost shrimp was examined over a period of a year and a half to gain understanding of its life history. Seasonal variation in the proportion of individuals in each size class was observed during the study, suggesting that there may be environmental …

It's All In The Rhetoric: Using Affective Design To Change Users' Perceptions Of Online Help, Robert C. Stultz

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates the role of affective design in online help systems. The thesis begins with a discussion of the current research related to online help systems and the rhetorical nature of technical communication. The thesis then provides a heuristic evaluation of two versions of procedural discourse for Microsoft Word 2000. Based on an analysis of the heuristic evaluation, five recommendations are given for improving the affective design of online help systems. The thesis concludes with a proposed usability test and consideration of a related area of study.

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Note will discuss the issue of non-commercial spam through the prism of a case recently decided by the California Supreme Court, Intel v. Hamidi. Until recently there was no federal regulation for unwanted electronic communication and common law was the only potential solution. Part I of this Note will discuss the nature of spam, focusing on the distinction between commercial e-mail and bulk e-mail and the importance therein. Part II will detail the history and the legal doctrine of trespass as it applies to the Internet. Part III will summarize the case of Intel v. Hamidi as it struggled …
