Response Of Dark-Adapted Retinal Rod Photoreceptors, H. Khanal, V. Alexiades, E. Dibenedetto

Publications

The process of phototransduction, whereby light is converted into an electrical response, in rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina, involves as a key setp, the diffusion of the cytoplasmic, signaling molecules cGMP (cyclic guanosime monophosphate) and Ca²+ diffuse in the cytoplasm (the fluid surrounding the discs). the complex geometry of the rod creates computational difficulties. We present spatio-temporal compuational models for interacctions and diffusion of cGMP and Ca²+ in the cytoplasm of vertebrate rod photoreceptors, as well as numerical simulations fo the response to light of dark-adapted Salamander rods.

Fear And Loathing In Massachusetts: Same-Sex Marriage And Some Lessons From The History Of Marriage And Divorce, Joanna L. Grossman

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

When Massachusetts became the first and only state in the union to issue legal marriage licenses to same-sex couples last May, the state's Governor, Mitt Romney, warned that "Massachusetts should not become the Las Vegas of same-sex marriage." Romney's warning makes sense only as a reference to Las Vegas' reputation for the "quickie" divorce - a heavily disparaged historical practice in which residents of other states would seek a divorce in Nevada because their home states would not grant them one, at least not on the terms or at the pace they desired. This essay retraces the history of divorce …

Domain Knowledge And The Teaching Of Creative Legal Problem Solving, Stefan H. Krieger

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

This article explores the relationship between students' knowledge of underlying legal doctrine and their ability to learn effective methods of practice in law school skills courses. One of the primary goals of skills training in law school, especially clinical legal education, is to teach students how to apply what they have learned in doctrinal courses in the “real world.” While much has been written about training students in proper methods of practice and problem solving in skills courses, little attention has been paid to the significance of doctrinal knowledge to this training. Reviewing recent cognitive psychology research on the development …

Y-Me, Why Us: Constructing Women's Illness And Roles Through Apologia, Susan G. Kiesel

Iowa Journal of Communication

In 2002, Republican Representative John Hostettler (IN) was accused of communicating insensitively with a group of breast cancer survivors. When asked to support an increase in breast cancer research funding, Hostettler focused the conversation on a purported connection between abortion and breast cancer. The survivors, all members of the "Y-Me" Breast Cancer Support Group of Indiana, approached the media in the months following the meeting because they believed Hostettler had accused them of having abortions. I examine three key pieces of Hostettler's rhetoric that followed media attention to the meeting. After identifying the rhetoric as apologia, I analyze the ways …

Restoring The Individual Plaintiff To Tort Law By Rejecting ‘Junk Logic’ About Specific Causation, Vern R. Walker

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Judges are removing the individual plaintiffs from many torts cases, and are instead conducting fact-finding about abstract statistical individuals. But the reasoning about specific causation in those cases is often fallacious. This Article critiques the error by analyzing direct inferences from causal generalizations about groups to probabilistic conclusions about causation in individuals. It identifies six distinct types of uncertainty in such inferences: measurement uncertainty, sampling uncertainty, modeling uncertainty, causal uncertainty, uncertainty about plaintiff representativeness, and uncertainty about assigning a probability to a specific plaintiff. These six uncertainties are logically necessary to this type of inference, and are not peculiar to …
