Tongue Movements In Feeding And Speech, Karen M. Hiiemae, Jeffrey B. Palmer

Biomedical and Chemical Engineering - All Scholarship

The position of the tongue relative to the upper and lower jaws is regulated in part by the position of the hyoid bone, which, with the anterior and posterior suprahyoid muscles, controls the angulation and length of the floor of the mouth on which the tongue body 'rides'. The instantaneous shape of the tongue is controlled by the 'extrinsic muscles ' acting in concert with the 'intrinsic ' muscles. Recent anatomical research in non-human mammals has shown that the intrinsic muscles can best be regarded as a 'laminated segmental system ' with tightly packed layers of the 'transverse', 'longitudinal', and …

The Copyright Divide, Peter K. Yu

Faculty Scholarship

Most recently, the recording industry filed 261 lawsuits against individuals who illegally downloaded and distributed a large amount of music via peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, such as KaZaA, Grokster, iMesh, and Gnutella. Although the industry's recent approach was controversial and resulted in major criticisms from legislators, academics, civil libertarians, consumer advocates, and university officials, the copyright holders' aggressive tactics are not new.

In fact, copyright holders have been known for using, or encouraging their government to use, coercive power to protect their creative works. Only a decade ago, the U.S. copyright industries have lobbied their government to use strong-armed tactics to …

Statistics Of Transmission In One-Dimensional Disordered Systems: Universal Characteristics Of States In The Fluctuation Tails, Lev I. Deych, Mikhail V. Erementchouk, Alexander A. Lisyansky, Alexey Yamilov, Hui Cao

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We numerically study the distribution function of the conductance (transmission) in the one-dimensional tight-binding Anderson and periodic-on-average superlattice models in the region of fluctuation states where single parameter scaling is not valid. We show that the scaling properties of the distribution function depend upon the relation between the system's length L and the length l_s determined by the integral density of states. For long enough systems, L ≫ l_s, the distribution can still be described within a new scaling approach based upon the ratio of the localization length l_loc and l_s. In an intermediate …

Incorporating Adult Community Services In Students’ Transition Planning, Daryl F. Mellard, Paula E. Lancaster

Peer Reviewed Articles

Despite the 15-year focus on transition planning, students with learning disabilities (LD) continue to experience less positive post-school outcomes than their peers without disabilities. Outcome data indicate that experiencing successful transitions from public schooling into the adult world seems to be a complex and elusive process. The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Act promote the development of inter-agency linkages between school personnel and community agencies in an effort to mobilize all available resources. In many cases, however, these linkages are not being made. This article provides information on available community agencies, the resources they offer, and ways school …

Drop The Shoe: A Law Of Personal Jurisdiction, Douglas D. Mcfarland

Missouri Law Review

Personal jurisdiction standards outlined in International Shoe Co. v. Washington have proven to be inadequate. This Article begins in Part II with an examination of the origins of the International Shoe minimum contacts test, and then in Part III analyzes and critiques the opinion and the test. Part IV looks at later Supreme Court cases that attempt to refine and apply the test, and Part V looks at the same pattern for other federal courts and state courts. These Parts lead to the conclusion that the minimum contacts test should be abandoned in favor of a new law for personal …

Plea Best Not Taken: Why Criminal Defendants Should Avoid The Alford Plea, A, Bryan H. Ward

Missouri Law Review

After examining the North Carolina v. Alford decision in detail, this Article will first look at the broad arguments in favor of this type of plea. This Article will then focus on the body of case law dealing with the Alford plea and its effect on sentencing, probation and parole. While examining these cases this Article will also focus on the variety of arguments offered by criminal defendants who contend that it is impermissible to require an Alford-type defendant to express remorse for the offense or admit to the offense in any other context. This Article will conclude by reevaluating …

Understanding The Difference Between The Right To Subrogation And Assignment Of An Inusrance Claim - Keisker V. Farmer, Jennifer A. Bueler

Missouri Law Review

Trinity Universal Insurance Company wrote a policy that did not expressly create an assignment of its policyholder’s future claims and, as a result, recovered only a fraction of the amount it paid to the policyholder. Had Trinity carefully drafted its policy to create an assignment of the insured’s claims, it might have recovered the entire amount from those responsible for the damages. For this reason, insurance companies need to understand the difference between assignment and subrogation. Furthermore, insured individuals need to understand this distinction so that they are aware of their own rights and obligations.

A Different Kind Of Bilingüismo, Frank Bramlett

English Faculty Publications

In last month's column, I wrote about the presence of Spanish in Omaha, attested by its occasional appearances in the broader English-speaking market. I also mentioned the phenomenon of people speaking two or more languages, called bilingualism. When a person has command of two languages, then that person is considered bilingual.

Considering that one language (like Swahili) might be called a code, and another language (Arabic) is another code, and a third language (like English) is another code, then conceivably a person who lives in Tanzania might carry on a conversation with another speaker from Tanzania in three different languages …

The Impact Of Service-Learning On Academic Outcomes: A Statewide Study Of Michigan Learn And Serve Grantees, Stephen Meyer

Project Summaries

Service-learning is a teaching strategy that involves students in service projects that are connected to the curriculum. Service-learning has its roots in the ideas of philosophers, such as Piaget and Dewey, who argued that students learn more when they are actively involved in their own learning and when learning has a distinct purpose (Anderson, Kinsley, Negroni, & Price, 1991; Conrad & Hedin, 1991; Kinsley, 1997). A body of evidence is building in support of the positive academic outcomes of service-learning (see Billig, 2000 for a review). However, the conclusions that can be drawn from many of these research studies are …

Report, Methodology For Economic Impact Estimation, November 2003, Usf Center For Economic Development Research

Center for Economic Development Research (CEDR) Collection

This report, prepared by the Center for Economic Development Research at USF for Los Alamos National Laboratory, investigates methodologies for estimating economic impacts of power and gas outages. It evaluates the use of GIS overlays, RIMS II, and IMPLAN multipliers to measure direct and secondary effects on employment and output. The report recommends integrating IMPLAN multipliers into LANL’s outage simulation model for comprehensive impact analysis.
