Development Of A Portable Carbon Monoxide Sensor Based On An External Cavity Diode Laser At 1565 Nm, Eva Shirley Norris Jan 2003

Development Of A Portable Carbon Monoxide Sensor Based On An External Cavity Diode Laser At 1565 Nm, Eva Shirley Norris

Theses

Carbon monoxide is a major trace gas pollutant with road traffic being responsible for most emissions. Work has been done on the development of a carbon monoxide sensor, which is potentially capable of measuring the gas in vehicle exhaust emissions. This is based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy The device must distinguish carbon monoxide from other gas species and from particulate matter. The device should also operate with a response time of the order of one second, have the potential for portability and a capacity for remote operation. Experimental work presented compares and contrasts the characteristics of the free-running …


Pair-Bonding And The Evolutionary Trajectory Of Homo: Disease Avoidance As An Adaptive Trait, Ronald S. Immerman, Wade C. Mackey Jan 2003

Pair-Bonding And The Evolutionary Trajectory Of Homo: Disease Avoidance As An Adaptive Trait, Ronald S. Immerman, Wade C. Mackey

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

As the ancestors of both the great apes and humans began to separate into two lineages, several distinctions emerged and solidified for the separate genera. It is suggested here that the sequelae to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and subsequent behavioral tendencies to avoid sexually transmitted diseases played an important role in forging the unique character of the Australopithecine/Homo line. In particular, the advantage of pair-bonding versus promiscuity in avoiding STDs would facilitate the crystallization of both the nascent nuclear family and the man-to-child affiliative bond. In addition, the unexpectedly small sexual dimorphism of Homo is suggested to be a …


Human Health Impacts Of Forest Fires In The Southern United States: A Literature Review, Cynthia T. Fowler Jan 2003

Human Health Impacts Of Forest Fires In The Southern United States: A Literature Review, Cynthia T. Fowler

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Forestry management practices can shape patterns of health, illness, and disease. A primary goal for owners of federal, state, and private forests is to craft ecosystem management plans that simultaneously optimize forest health and human health. Fire­­a major forest management issue in the United States­­complicates these goals. Wildfires are natural phenomena with unpredictable effects. Controlled fires, on the other hand, are often prescribed to reduce biomass fuels, reduce wildfire risks, and protect resource values. While fires can enhance the health of fire-adapted ecosystems, research on the human health impacts of smoke from forest fires is somewhat equivocal. This article synthesizes …

In Coase's Footsteps, Douglas G. Baird Jan 2003

In Coase's Footsteps, Douglas G. Baird

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

This paper revisits two examples of vertical integration in the early automobile industry: GM and Fisher Body on the one hand and Ford Motor and Keim Mills on the other. The paper shows that asset-specific investment and the fear of hold-up played at best a negligible role. What mattered in the case of GM and Fisher Body was close coordination of assembly operations. In the case of Ford Motor and Keim Mills, vertical integration was an important step (but only one of many) that Henry Ford took to ensure that his production team remained intact. In the case of GM …


Family Preservation Conference Participants And The Internet: Opinions About On-Line Continuing Education, Timothy Barnett-Queen Jan 2003

Family Preservation Conference Participants And The Internet: Opinions About On-Line Continuing Education, Timothy Barnett-Queen

Journal of Family Strengths

Development of distance and distributed learning continuing education (CE) opportunities for human services workers requires existence of such CE offerings, participant access to the Internet, knowledge of the Internet's use, and willingness to enroll in such programs. A survey of human services professionals who attended the Family Preservation Annual Conferences in 2000 (N = 230) and 2002 (N - 197) revealed that 92% (n = 206) of 2000 survey participants and 98% (192) of 2002 survey participants have used the Internet, while 76% of 2000 and 56% of 2002 respondents reported no formal training in the use of the Internet …

Microfinance And Households Coping With Hiv/Aids In Zimbabwe: An Exploratory Study, Carolyn Barnes, Erica Keogh, Nontokozo Nemarundwe, Loveness Nyikahadzoi, Ellen Weiss Jan 2003

Microfinance And Households Coping With Hiv/Aids In Zimbabwe: An Exploratory Study, Carolyn Barnes, Erica Keogh, Nontokozo Nemarundwe, Loveness Nyikahadzoi, Ellen Weiss

HIV and AIDS

This study, conducted in Zimbabwe, sought to better understand the relationship between a microfinance program, Zambuko Trust, and how microentrepreneurs’ households cope with the impact of HIV/AIDS. The study examined how HIV/AIDS is affecting Zambuko’s operations and what microfinance institutions (MFIs) can do to lessen the impact of HIV/AIDS on their clients and operations. The findings indicate several small yet important ways that MFI programs help microentrepreneurs and their families respond to these impacts through access to credit and business management training. Participation in a microfinance program led to income smoothing and better financial management, which can help households mitigate …


Yrg Care Base Model Report: Integrated Prevention, Care, And Support Services, Christopher Castle Jan 2003

Yrg Care Base Model Report: Integrated Prevention, Care, And Support Services, Christopher Castle

HIV and AIDS

In September 1999, YRG CARE embarked on a research project in collaboration with the Horizons Program and the International HIV/AIDS Alliance entitled “Scaling Up Affordable and Appropriate Care and Support Services for People Living with HIV/AIDS in South India.” The study aims to better understand the affordability and appropriateness of an integrated care and support model in an emerging epidemic situation to meet the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) and improve their quality of life. A second aim is to examine the process and costs of scaling up this model. A critical step toward achieving both goals is …

Norms And Interests, Geoffrey P. Miller Jan 2003

Norms And Interests, Geoffrey P. Miller

Faculty Articles

There is thus a wide degree of debate in the literature about the degree to which social norms reflect spontaneous private ordering. Despite the disagreement, however, the literature to date has not recognized a key feature of many social norms: Social norms can-and often do-function as means by which members of interest groups acquire benefits for their members. This concept requires elaboration, and will be discussed at length in the pages that follow. The basic intuition is simple, however: by manipulating social norms, groups can enrich themselves-either monetarily or by obtaining non-pecuniary benefits such as esteem or deference-at the expense …


Determining The Retroactive Effect Of Laws Altering The Consequences Of Criminal Convictions, Nancy Morawetz Jan 2003

Determining The Retroactive Effect Of Laws Altering The Consequences Of Criminal Convictions, Nancy Morawetz

Faculty Articles

This Article traces the roots of the current emphasis on plea agreements to confusion about indicia of retroactivity in cases involving quasi-economic transactions and those involving laws that are targeted at wrongful conduct. Although economic transactions are properly evaluated in terms of standards such as reliance, reliance has no proper application with respect to laws that govern wrongful conduct. Instead, when wrongful conduct is at issue, the proper question is whether the person had fair notice of the degree of consequences.


Foreword: "Just Do It!" Title Ix As A Threat To University Autonomy, Richard A. Epstein Jan 2003

Foreword: "Just Do It!" Title Ix As A Threat To University Autonomy, Richard A. Epstein

Faculty Articles

For a short time I was stymied to identify a suitable theme for the Foreword to the 2003 Survey of Books in the Michigan Law Review. The task is surely a daunting one, because it is never possible to write a Foreword that offers the reader a Cook's Tour of the many distinguished offerings reviewed in its pages. Therefore I hope to link one broad theme to one narrow topic, knowing that at first it may look as though they have little in common. In taking this approach, I prefer dangerous shoals to well-marked channels. I shall therefore begin with …
