What I Think That I Have Learned About Legal Ethics, Richard H. Underwood Jan 2003

What I Think That I Have Learned About Legal Ethics, Richard H. Underwood

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

In this short piece I want to say a few things that other academics teaching legal ethics may find disturbing. I say this because I believe that I may be swimming against the current academic fashion. Of course, it is possible that I do not have a very good handle on the current academic fashion. I hope I am not setting up a straw person to knock down, but I may be. If I am, I am sure someone will call me to task. What I am going to say is this: contrary to popular belief (among practitioners, at least) …


Control Of Cascaded Multi-Level Inverters, Keith Corzine, Fang Zheng Peng, J. Wang, M. W. Wielebski Jan 2003

Control Of Cascaded Multi-Level Inverters, Keith Corzine, Fang Zheng Peng, J. Wang, M. W. Wielebski

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A new type of multi-level inverter is introduced which is created by cascading two three-phase three-level inverters using the load connection. This new inverter can operate as a nine-level inverter and naturally splits the power conversion into a higher voltage lower-frequency inverter and a lower-voltage higher frequency inverter. This type of system presents particular advantages to naval ship propulsion systems which rely on high power quality, survivable drives. New control methods are described involving both joint and separate control of the individual three-level inverters. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of both controls. A laboratory set-up at the Naval Surface Warfare …


A Unique Fault-Tolerant Design For Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverters, X. Kou, Keith Corzine, Yakov L. Familiant Jan 2003

A Unique Fault-Tolerant Design For Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverters, X. Kou, Keith Corzine, Yakov L. Familiant

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents a unique design for flying capacitor type multilevel inverters with fault-tolerant features. When a single-switch fault per phase occurs, the new design can still provide the same number of converting levels by shorting the fault power semiconductors and reconfiguring the gate controls. The most attractive point of the proposed design is that it can undertake the single-switch fault per phase without scarifying power converting quality. This paper also discusses the capacitor balancing approach under fault-conditions, which is an essential part of controlling flying capacitor type multilevel inverters. Suggested fault diagnosing methods are also discussed in this paper. …

The Impact Of Government Policy On Technology Transfer: An Aircraft Industry Case Study, David King, Mark L. Nowack Jan 2003

The Impact Of Government Policy On Technology Transfer: An Aircraft Industry Case Study, David King, Mark L. Nowack

Management Faculty Research and Publications

This case study explores the interaction between domestic and foreign governmental policy on technology transfer with the goal of exploring the long-term impacts of technology transfer. Specifically, the impact of successive licensing of fighter aircraft manufacturing and design to Japan in the development of Japan’s aircraft industry is reviewed. Results indicate Japan has built a domestic aircraft industry through sequential learning with foreign technology transfers from the United States, and design and production on domestic fighter aircraft. This process was facilitated by governmental policies in both Japan and the United States.

Tracking Down The Marrons: Archaeo-Geography Of Marronage In The Caribbean, E. Kofi Agorsah Jan 2003

Tracking Down The Marrons: Archaeo-Geography Of Marronage In The Caribbean, E. Kofi Agorsah

Black Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

As the Maroons escaped from enslavement into unknown and inaccessible environments, they relied on their mental maps developed through sequential exploration of those environments to establish and defend their settlements. Initially they would take advantage of the knowledge of the areas surrounding the plantations from which they escaped, explore them thoroughly and then, at the appropriate time, link their escape routes and locations to those mental maps that they had acquired. That knowledge would have helped them to develop networks of familiar pathways and landmarks along, and around which, they arranged their settlements. This paper suggests that knowledge of such …


Introducing The Global Diffusion Of The Internet Series, Peter Wolcott, Seymour E. Goodman Jan 2003

Introducing The Global Diffusion Of The Internet Series, Peter Wolcott, Seymour E. Goodman

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications

Many genes can play a role in multiple biological processes or molecular functions. Identifying multifunctional genes at the genome-wide level and studying their properties can shed light upon the complexity of molecular events that underpin cellular functioning, thereby leading to a better understanding of the functional landscape of the cell. However, to date, genome-wide analysis of multifunctional genes (and the proteins they encode) has been limited. Here we introduce a computational approach that uses known functional annotations to extract genes playing a role in at least two distinct biological processes. We leverage functional genomics data sets for three organisms—H. sapiens, …

Earned Sovereignty: Juridical Underpinnings, Michael P. Scharf Jan 2003

Earned Sovereignty: Juridical Underpinnings, Michael P. Scharf

Faculty Publications

This piece is the second in a trilogy of three simultaneously published articles in the Denver Journal of International Law that examine the emerging doctrine of "earned sovereignty," a concept that seeks to reconcile the principles of self-determination and humanitarian intervention with the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity. This article sets forth the legal underpinnings for the doctrine, while the other two articles in the trilogy provide its policy foundations, and apply the doctrine to several modem case studies. Together, the three articles are the product of the Public International Law and Policy Group's "Intermediate Sovereignty Project," sponsored by …


The Functions Of Justice And Anti-Justice In The Peacebuilding Process, Michael P. Scharf, Paul P. Williams Jan 2003

The Functions Of Justice And Anti-Justice In The Peacebuilding Process, Michael P. Scharf, Paul P. Williams

Faculty Publications

In our examination of the functions of justice in the peace-building process, we use the former Yugoslavia as an illustrative case study. Reference to the Yugoslavia experience provides a particularly useful touchstone for this analysis because in no other peace-building process in history has there been so much political emphasis placed on the need to employ the norm of justice, and so much energy devoted to creating and utilizing justice-based institutions. The Yugoslav conflict is a particularly fertile research ground for accurately assessing the role of justice in peace- building given the UN Security Council's creation of the United Nations …

Grandparent Visitation Claims: Assessing The Multiple Harms Of Litigation To Families And Children, Stephen A. Newman Jan 2003

Grandparent Visitation Claims: Assessing The Multiple Harms Of Litigation To Families And Children, Stephen A. Newman

Articles & Chapters

This article provides a detailed appraisal of the negative consequences of grandparent visitation lawsuits, and of the harms caused by state-coerced grandparent visitation, in the context of the malfunctioning extended family. I suggest that the special weight afforded a fit parent's decision should be very substantial, and that it should be dispositive of the case unless the grandparent can produce convincing evidence showing that extraordinary circumstances, involving clear harm to the child, justify court ordered visitation. This high degree of deference to parents derives from two features of grandparent visitation cases that deserve more attention than they have received so …


Life Experiences Of Cambodian-American Refugee Women: Segmented Life Stories, Jane A. Mccool Jan 2003

Life Experiences Of Cambodian-American Refugee Women: Segmented Life Stories, Jane A. Mccool

Open Access Dissertations

Of the estimated 50 million international refugees and displaced persons (U.S. Committee for Refugees, 2003), 80% are mothers with children (Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children, 2003). There is a paucity of research that explores refugee experiences with organized violence and healing following such events. Available research typically addresses acts of domination and oppression rather than life stories of individuals. Individual health and healing responses are ordinarily examined through the lens of psychotraumatology. A socialized view proposes that exposure to trauma is not a private experience and that the refugee experience of organized violence, the flight to safety, and …

Prophylactic Use Of Force In International Law: The Illegitimacy Of Canada’S Participation In "Coalitions Of The Willing" Without United Nations’ Authorization And Parliamentary Sanction, Ikechi Mgbeoji Jan 2003

Prophylactic Use Of Force In International Law: The Illegitimacy Of Canada’S Participation In "Coalitions Of The Willing" Without United Nations’ Authorization And Parliamentary Sanction, Ikechi Mgbeoji

Articles & Book Chapters

The author examines the legitimacy o Canada's participation in acts of non-defensive aggression in light of Canada 's international obligations and international law. He contends that in the domestic terrain, constitutional conventions, practices, and applicable laws as factors that shape Canada's decisions to participate in international conflicts, must also be critically reconsidered.


The Juridical Origins Of The International Patent System: Towards A Historiography Of The Role Of Patents In Industrialization, Ikechi Mgbeoji Jan 2003

The Juridical Origins Of The International Patent System: Towards A Historiography Of The Role Of Patents In Industrialization, Ikechi Mgbeoji

Articles & Book Chapters

Given the controversial and indeed, ideological tenor of the various claims by many “patent systems” as to authorship of the patent system, this article engages in an historical reconstruction of the evolution and development of the modern juridical system of patents.In the analysis, various competing “histories” of the patent system are examined, evaluated and their veracity as the origin of the patent system are resolved. In my view, the competing claims to the origins of the patent systems can only be resolved on the basis of certain criteria which constitute the irreducible essence of a patent system. In other words, …

Perceptions Of Classical Armenia: Romano-Parthian Relations, 70 Bc-Ad 220, John Joseph Poirot, Iii Jan 2003

Perceptions Of Classical Armenia: Romano-Parthian Relations, 70 Bc-Ad 220, John Joseph Poirot, Iii

LSU Master's Theses

Relative to its importance, little research has been done on the Romano-Parthian rivalry that existed during the first two centuries AD. By extension, even less has been written concerning the kingdom of classical Armenia, which often served as the focal point of that bitter conflict. The absence of such research is regrettable, for it was this very rivalry that dictated how the Empire’s eastern border would be defined. According to many modern scholars and several of the classical authors, Romans feared the looming threat of the Parthian state. Although such panic was unfounded, this fear supposedly then prompted the Empire’s …


Street Fighting: Lessons Learned From The Battle For Hue For 21st Century Urban Warfare, Edward J. O'Neill Jan 2003

Street Fighting: Lessons Learned From The Battle For Hue For 21st Century Urban Warfare, Edward J. O'Neill

LSU Master's Theses

Increasing urbanization in a global setting of political and economic instability indicates that urban warfare may well be the major conflict scenario of the 21st century. The United States armed forces are not currently prepared to meet that challenge. The last major urban conflict involving the American military was the Battle of Hue during the Vietnam War. As part of the Tet Offensive in 1968, Communist forces seized control of Hue and held it for nearly a month. Having undergone intensive tactical training for their mission, the enemy, solidly entrenched in buildings of various kinds, offered fierce resistance to the …


The Body Politic: Burial And Post-War Reconciliation In Baton Rouge, Leah Wood Jewett Jan 2003

The Body Politic: Burial And Post-War Reconciliation In Baton Rouge, Leah Wood Jewett

LSU Master's Theses

Historians typically agree that reconciliation between the white North and South took place between the period of 1898 (Spanish-American War) and 1913 (before World War I). To test this hypothesis and identify when reconciliation took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I will use the burial of R. L. Pruyn in the Baton Rouge National Cemetery. Pruyn served as a U.S. soldier during the Mexican War and a Confederate soldier during the Civil War. Anthropologists have studied rituals, beliefs, and practices associated with death since early in the discipline. Archaeologists, in particular, have focused on this aspect of culture, in large …


Revisiting A "Lost Victory" At Kursk, Jonathan Page Klug Jan 2003

Revisiting A "Lost Victory" At Kursk, Jonathan Page Klug

LSU Master's Theses

The battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943 was a pivotal battle of World War II. The defeat at Kursk placed the Wehrmacht on the permanent strategic defensive on the Eastern Front. The opening of the Soviet archives after 1989 has permitted more thorough analysis of that battle and produced greater appreciation of the Red Army’s performance, while casting doubt on the notion that the Germans were close to an operational victory. Preceding the clash, both sides prepared feverishly, attempting to bring the units involved to their maximum capability by replacing personnel, upgrading equipment, and conducting training. The Germans …
