Foreword Symposium: Interdisciplinary Perspectives On Fear And Risk Perception In Times Of Democratic Crisis:, Christina E. Wells, Jennifer K. Robbennolt

Missouri Law Review

The terrorists attacks on September 11, 2001, the implentation of the USA PATRIOT ACT, and the government's indefinite detention of "enemy combatants" have all sparked renewed interest in the balance between security and liberty in times of crisis. Recently, legal scholars have debated topics ranging from the constitutionality and wisdom of the government's responses to terror to the appropriate roles for institutional actors and the public in national security decisions. While these debates have contributed enormously to the public discussion that is the foundation of a democratic society, they have not completely captured the complexities of governmental responses to crisis. …

Fear: A Story In Three Parts, Rachel F. Moran

Missouri Law Review

This article reflects on the story of Army PFC Jesse A. Givens. It is a story of fear in three parts. I hope to gain understanding of emotion as part of a private experience, and interpersonal communication, and a public event. As the story will show, fear can be defined in purely cognitive terms. Fear can also be defined as “cognition plus.” Argued here is that a purely cognitive approach is inadequate for a complete analysis of emotion’s role in collective decision-making. What seems critical is that proponents of both pure cognition and cognition plus move beyond definitions of emotion …

What's Fear Got To Do With It - It's Affect We Need To Worry About, Paul Slovic

Missouri Law Review

My objective in this paper is to provide psychological perspective on the challenges to rational decision making in the face of terrorism and other risk crisis. I shall begin with an introduction to the psychology of risk, highlighting the role of affect and its contribution to what may be called “risk as feeling.” I shall then address the need to educate and inform citizens about risks from terrorism and some of the particular challenges this entails.

Fear And Risk In Times Of Crisis: The Media's Challenge, Richard C. Reuben

Missouri Law Review

With five to ten minutes to comment at the very end of an intellectually exhilarating two-day symposium, I am quite frankly tempted to say "You know, they've all got a point," and leave it at that. But this has been an important discussion, and in this comment I'd like to at least try to make a small contribution to it.

To Support And Defend The Constitution Of The United States Against All Enemies, Foreign And Domestic: Four Types Of Attorneys General And Wartime Stress, Betty Houchin Winfield

Missouri Law Review

War exacerbates the usual tensions between individual freedoms and national security. In such times, the United States frequently sacrifices its tradition of individual autonomy and deliberative debate for the security and unanimity of an autocratic, military-style government. Individual rights are often the first casualties of hastily enacted legal measures that expand executive power without regard to constitutional checks and balances. While the expansions have generated criticism and calls for greater government accountability, it is often difficult to determine who within the executive should be held accountable. As the President’s chief law enforcement officer, the Attorney General of the United States …

Eu Peatlands: Current Carbon Stocks And Trace Gas Fluxes, Kenneth A. Byrne, Bogdan Chojnicki, Torben R. Christensen, Matthias Drosler, Steve Frolking, Anders Lindroth, Julia Mailhammer, Nils Malmer, Pirkko Selin, Jukka Turunen, Riccardo Valentini, Lars Zetterberg

Earth Sciences

Peatlands in Europe has formed a significant sink for atmospheric CO2 since the last glacial maximum. Currently they are estimated to hold ca. 42 Gt carbon in the form of peat and are therefore a considerable component in the European carbon budget. Due to the generally wet soil conditions in peatlands they are also significant emitters of the strong greenhouse gas (GHG) methane (CH4) and in some cases also of nitrous oxide (N2O). The EU funded CarboEurope-GHG Concerted Action attempts to develop a reliable and complete greenhouse gas budget for Europe and this report aims to provide a review and …

The Effect Of Low Energy Electron And Uv/Vis Radiation Aging On The Electron Emission Properties And Breakdown Of Thin-Film Dielectrics, John R. Dennison, C. D. Thomson, Alec Sim

All Physics Faculty Publications

Studies of secondary and backscattered electron yield curves of thin-film dielectrics have recently been made using pulsed, low current electron beam methods to minimize insulator charging. These capabilities have allowed us to investigate the evolution of surface and internal charge profiles as a function of low energy electron (keV) pulsed-electron fluence to determine how quickly insulators charge, and how this can affect subsequent electron emission properties. We have also studied critical incident electron energies that result in electrical breakdown of insulator materials and the effect of breakdown on subsequent emission, charging and conduction. The qualitative physics of such processes in …

The Effects Of Edge And Pollution On Lichen Richness, Abundance, And Distribution In Cañitas, Costa Rica, November 2004, Jenny Bedell-Stiles

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Lichens are commonly known to be biological indicators of pollution and edge effects. Their use as indicators in temperate regions is well documented, however, less is known about their function as a bioindicator in the tropics. There is also debate over the consequences of edge effects, such as increased temperature, and less moisture and wind, on lichen richness and abundance. In this study lichen communities on tree trunks in three habitat sites (primary forest, pasture, and roadside) were examined. In total 88 trees were censused in order to determine lichen richness, abundance, and similarity. Overall 68 species of lichen were …

Effects Of Fragmentation And Human Disturbance On Mammal Communities In San Luis And Monteverde, Costa Rica, November 2004, Lindsay Crawford

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Mammals occupy important roles in tropical ecosystems and can often be keystone species, controlling the composition of their communities. This study compared mammal communities in Monteverde and San Luis, Costa Rica, two regions that differ in their current and historical patterns of fragmentation. Three habitats per region, representing a disturbance gradient, were surveyed using scent stations. Prints as well as visual observations were recorded. No significant differences were found in species richness across zones or across habitats. However, overall diversity was consistently higher in Monteverde and locally highest in edge habitats in both regions. Local richness patterns (across habitats) follow …

Stream Site Selection Of Hyalinobatrachium Fleischmanni (Centrolenidae), November 2004, Alicia Ward

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Census work and habitat analysis for the glass frog species Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni was performed on four streams in Cañitas and Monteverde, Costa Rica. At each of six sites, the habitat occupied by H. fleischmanni was contrasted with a nearby, paired site where individuals were absent. Seven habitat parameters were investigated: water quality based on dissolved oxygen and phosphate content; water speed; discharge; distance from human development; extent of canopy cover; and presence or absence of common monocots (Zingiberaceae: Hedychium coronarium, Costaceae: Costus spp., Musaceae: Musa acuminata). No statistically significant differences were found between Occupied and Unoccupied locations though patterns suggested …

A 2 Ghz Bandpass Analog To Digital Delta-Sigma Modulator For Cdma Receivers With 79 Db Dynamic Range In 1.23 Mhz Bandwidth, Elias H. Dagher, Peter Stubberud, Wesley K. Masenten, Matteo Conta, Thang Victor Dinh

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

This paper presents the design of a second-order single-bit analog-to-digital continuous-time delta-sigma modulator that can be used in wireless CDMA receivers. The continuous-time delta-sigma modulator samples at 2 GHz, consumes 18 mW at 1.8 V and has a 79-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) over a 1.23-MHz bandwidth. The continuous-time delta-sigma modulator was fabricated in a 0.18- m 1-poly 6-metal, CMOS technology and has an active area of approximately 0.892 mm2 . The delta-sigma modulator's critical performance specifications are derived from the CDMA receiver specifications.
