The Authority Of A Court To Order Disgorgement For Violations Of The Current Good Manufacturing Practices Requirement Of The Federal Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act, Erika Lietzan, Elizabeth M. Walsh

Faculty Publications

This article addresses the question as to whether a federal court has the authority to compel a pharmaceutical company to disgorge profits obtained from an alleged violation of the FDCA, specifically the failure of a pharmaceutical company to comply with current good manufacturing practices (GMPs). Section II of this article summarizes the article to which we are responding. In all fairness, it did not purport to be a full-blown defense, and we expect the agency's comprehensive defense of disgorgement would be considerably more detailed. Section III turns to the Sixth Circuit case on which FDA rests its argument for disgorgement, …

Beach Profile Evolution Under Plunging And Spilling Breakers, Ping Wang, Bruce A. Ebersole, Ernest R. Smith

Geology Faculty Publications

Beach-profile evolution, along with measurements of waves, currents, and sediment concentration, under spilling and plunging breakers of similar height were studied in the three-dimensional Large-Scale Sediment Transport Facility at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center. Unidirectional irregular waves were generated over a fine-sand beach. Beach-profile shape reached equilibrium after 1,330 and 280 min of spilling and plunging wave actions, respectively. Near the main breaker line, the profile evolved differently under plunging and spilling breakers. Across most of the midsurf zone dominated by surf bores, the equilibrium profile shapes were similar. Uniform energy dissipation per unit volume at equilibrium, …

Evaluation Of The Cerc Formula Using Large-Scale Laboratory Data, Ernest R. Smith, Ping Wang, Jun Zhang

Geology Faculty Publications

Longshore transport experiments were conducted in a large-scale physical model to evaluate predictions of the CERC formula with measured longshore sediment transport rates. It was found that the CERC formula produced reasonable estimates if the coefficient K was calibrated and applied to waves with similar breaker type. The calibrated K values are much smaller than values that are commonly used, and there appears to be a strong dependency of transport rate on breaker type. Additional comparisons were made with the formula proposed by Kamphuis (1991). The Kamphuis equation, which includes wave period, a factor that influences breaking, gave good estimates. …

Kinetics And Mechanism Of Intramolecular Carboxylic Acid Participation In The Hydrolysis Of N-Methoxyphthalamic Acid, Azhar Ariffin, M.N. Khan

Research Publications (2000 to 2005)

The rate of formation and disappearance of phthalic anhydride (PAn) intermediate in the aqueous cleavage of N-methoxyphthalamic acid (NMPA) under acidic pH was studied spectrophotometrically in mixed CH3CN-H2O solvents. The rate of formation of PAn from NMPA is almost independent of the change in acetonitrile content from 20 to 70% v/v in mixed aqueous solvents. The rate constants for the formation of PAn from NMPA are similar to10-fold smaller than the corresponding rate constants for the formation of PAn from o-carboxybenzohydroxamic acid (OCBA). These observations are ascribed to the consequence of the occurrence of slightly different mechanisms in these reactions.

Object Oriented Sparse Linear Solver Component For Power System Analysis, Hazlie Mokhlis, K.M. Nor

Research Publications (2000 to 2005)

Thls paper describes the develvpment of a sparse linear solver component for solving linear equation In power system analysis. The solver Is developed Into a component by using Object Oriented Programming and Component Based Development methodologies. This component Is then Integrated with the load flow and fault analysis components as power system analysis software. By developing the solver and the power system analyses Into a different component, the engineering analysis becomes Independent from the sparse linear solver. Therefore, the solver can be replaced with other solver, whlth may be proprietary code, or when better or Improved solver becomes available In …

Primary And Secondary Pyroelectric Effects Of Ferroelectric 0-3 Composites, Khian Hooi Chew, C.L. Choy, F.G. Shin, B. Ploss, H.L.W. Chan

Research Publications (2000 to 2005)

Simple and tractable analytical expressions for determining the pyroelectricity in ferroelectric 0-3 composites have been developed. For the dilute suspension limit, expressions for the effective pyroelectric and other thermal electromechanical properties are derived within the framework of the Maxwell-Wagner approach. Then, an effective-medium theory is employed to examine the first and second pyroelectric coefficients in the concentrated suspension regime. The effective-medium approach as compared to the Maxwell-Wagner approach results in a better agreement with known experimental data up to higher volume fraction of inclusions. The pyroelectricity of 0-3 composites of ceramic inclusions embedded in the P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer matrix and of …

Watershed-Scale Agricultural Land-Use Impact On Instream Physicochemical Parameters, William Dillahunty, Indrajeet Chaubey, Marty Matlock

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is often the result of runoff losses from agricultural or urban areas. Even though the watershed approach to controlling NPS pollution is identified as the most efficient approach, data linking watershed scale land use and specific water quality implications are very limited. The objective of this study was to quantify the impact of agricultural land use on stream physico-chemical properties. The upper reach of Flint Creek was monitored at two sampling points draining an agricultural land. At each of these points, continuous measurement of stream characteristics such as temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, depth, pH, and …

The Role Of Lateral And Vertical Shear In Tributary Flow Toward A West Antarctic Ice Stream, Christina L. Hulbe, Weili Wang, Ian R. Joughin, Martin J. Siegert

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Narrow lateral shear margins are the most distinctive visual feature of the West Antarctic ice streams. Large shear stresses within these layers support the majority of the gravitational driving stress within a fast-flowing ice stream.The present contribution looks upstream, to the tributaries that feed ice-stream onsets, and considers the effects of both horizontal and vertical shear on their flow. Numerical and direct simulations of vertical and horizontal shear are used.Vertical shear, simulated using an anisotropic flow law, is of particular interest.We conclude that by isolating overlying ice from large-amplitude variations in bed elevation -vertical shear margins - play an important …

Subglacial Thermal Balance Permits Ongoing Grounding Line Retreat Along The Siple Coast Of West Antarctica, Byron R. Parizek, Richard B. Alley, Christina L. Hulbe

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Changes in the discharge of West Antarctic ice streams are of potential concern with respect to global sea level. The six relatively thin, fast-flowing Ross ice streams are of interest as low-slope end-members among Antarctic ice streams. Extensive research has demonstrated that these "rivers of ice" have a history of relatively high-frequency (óO(100) years), asynchronous discharge variations with evolving lateral boundaries. Amidst this variability, a ~1300 km grounding-line retreat has occurred since the Last GlacialMaximum. Numerical studies of Ice Stream D (Parizek and others, 2002) indicate that a proposed thermal-regulation mechanism(Clarke and Marshall, 1998; Hulbe and MacAyeal,1999; Tulaczyk and others, …

Anisotropic Ice Flow Leading To The Onset Of Ice Stream D, West Antarctica: Numerical Modelling Based On The Observations From Byrd Station Borehole, Weili Wang, H. Jay Zwally, Christina L. Hulbe, Martin J. Siegert, Ian R. Joughin

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

An ice-sheet flowline model is used to simulate the flow of ice along two particle paths toward the onset to Ice Stream D,West Antarctica. One path is near the centre line of the main tributary to the ice stream, while the second passes by the Byrd Station borehole site. In this paper, we analyze the flow of the moderately fast-flowing tributaries in terms of ice-fabric anisotropy and estimate the steady-state ice-flow regions with the compatible developed crystal orientation fabrics along two particle paths. Comparison between modelled isochrones and internal layers detected from radio-echo sounding surveys in the area is used …

Depriving Washington State's Incarcerated Youth Of An Education: The Debilitating Effects Of Tunstall V. Bergeson, Jamie Polito Johnston

Seattle University Law Review

The analysis begins in Section II with a general overview and summary of Tunstall v. Bergeson. Section III presents a brief legislative background of the statute at issue in Tunstall, Education Programs for Juvenile Inmates, RCW section 28A.193. Section IV discusses Tunstall's misinterpretation of these statutory provisions, demonstrating the Education Programs for Juvenile Inmates' disregard of the paramount duty to provide education to youth under twenty-one pursuant to the Basic Education Act and violation of the Washington Constitution, as discussed in Section V. Next, Section VI argues that because the right to education is a fundamental right under state law, …

Qr Factorization With Morton-Ordered Quadtree Matrices For Memory Re-Use And Parallelism, Jeremy D. Frens, David S. Wise

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

Quadtree matrices using Morton-order storage provide natural blocking on every level of a memory hierarchy. Writing the natural recursive algorithms to take advantage of this blocking results in code that honors the memory hierarchy without the need for transforming the code. Furthermore, the divide-and-conquer algorithm breaks problems down into independent computations. These independent computations can be dispatched in parallel for straight-forward parallel processing. Proof-of-concept is given by an algorithm for QR factorization based on Givens rotations for quadtree matrices in Morton-order storage. The algorithms deliver positive results, competing with and even beating the LAPACK equivalent.
