Theoretical And Practical Complexity Of Unified Modeling Language: Delphi Study And Metrics Analyses, J. Erickson, Keng Siau Dec 2004

Theoretical And Practical Complexity Of Unified Modeling Language: Delphi Study And Metrics Analyses, J. Erickson, Keng Siau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Systems have become increasingly complex, and as a result development methods have become more complex as well. The unified modeling language (UML) has been criticized for the often cited and sometimes over- whelming complexity it presents to its users, and those seeking to learn to use it. Using Rossi and Brinkkemper’s (1996) complexity metrics, Siau and Cao (2001) completed a complexity analysis of UML and 36 other modeling techniques, finding that UML is indeed more complex than other techniques. Siau, Erickson and Lee (2002) proposed that Rossi and Brinkkemper’s metrics present the theoretical maximum complexity, known as theoretical complexity. This …

Mössbauer Spectral Study Of The Magnetocaloric Femnp₁₋ₓasₓ Compounds, Raphäel P. Hermann, Ojied Tegus, Ekkehard H. Brück, K. H. J. Buschow, Frank R. De Boer, Gary J. Long, Fernande Grandjean Dec 2004

Mössbauer Spectral Study Of The Magnetocaloric Femnp₁₋ₓasₓ Compounds, Raphäel P. Hermann, Ojied Tegus, Ekkehard H. Brück, K. H. J. Buschow, Frank R. De Boer, Gary J. Long, Fernande Grandjean

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The magnetic phase transitions in the FeMnP1-xAsx compounds with x= 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.50, and 0.55, have been studied by iron-57 Mössbauer spectroscopy. The ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spectra have been analyzed with a model that takes into account the random distribution of the P and As near-neighbor anions of a given iron site. This distribution is a binomial distribution of the contributions to the spectra of each iron with n As near neighbors. A magnetostriction model has been used to characterize the temperature induced paramagnetic to ferromagnetic first-order phase transition and order parameters, ηF=2.6, 2.3, …

Crystal Eastman And The Internationalist Beginnings Of American Civil Liberties, John Fabian Witt Dec 2004

Crystal Eastman And The Internationalist Beginnings Of American Civil Liberties, John Fabian Witt

Duke Law Journal

The modern American civil liberties movement famously began with the United States's intervention in World War I. Yet these beginnings have long raised a conundrum for civil liberties historians. Why did the American civil liberties movement arise precisely when so many sophisticated legal and political thinkers began to call into question the truth value of abstract rights claims? The puzzling rise of civil liberties in an age of pragmatic skepticism is all the more startling given that early leaders of the civil liberties movement were themselves leading rights skeptics. This Article offers a new interpretation of the rise of the …

Social Responsibility In Major Newspapers Coverage Of "9/11 Lapses" Controversy, Hai Long Tran Dec 2004

Social Responsibility In Major Newspapers Coverage Of "9/11 Lapses" Controversy, Hai Long Tran

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study measures major newspapers' performance in covering the "September 11 lapses" controversy against social responsibility principles. Content analysis of 535 newspaper items, published by the New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today in one year (Sept. 12, 2001--Sept. 11, 2002), found the papers did not live up to journalistic precepts traditionally listed as required for the press in a democratic society. They were successful in providing a source of comprehensive and balanced information, a forum for exchange of comment and criticism on the government's losses and failures. However, major newspapers failed to aggressively pursue independent investigative …

The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same: Mr. Tutt And The Distrust Of Lawyers In The Early Twentieth Century, Molly A. Guptill Dec 2004

The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same: Mr. Tutt And The Distrust Of Lawyers In The Early Twentieth Century, Molly A. Guptill

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note explores the intersection of public perception, legal ethics, and professional identity in the twentieth century, focusing on how Arthur Train's fictional character, Ephraim Tutt, influenced both the public's idealized view of lawyers and the legal profession's response to declining prestige. Train's portrayal of Tutt, a nostalgic archetype of the nineteenth-century country lawyer, highlighted the tension between the profession's modernization and the public's longing for a bygone era of ethical integrity. This duality spurred discussions on legal reform and the evolution of ethical standards, as the profession sought to bridge the gap between myth and reality.

The Prosecution Of Cybergripers Under The Lanham Act, Blossom Lefcourt

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note explores the legal implications of cybergripping under the Lanham Act, emphasizing the need to balance trademark protection with free speech. It critiques the inconsistent application of the commercial-noncommercial distinction in determining the legality of unauthorized trademark use and advocates for adopting the Central Hudson test to reconcile these competing interests.

The Monacan Nation Pow Wow: Symbol Of Indigenous Survival And Resistance In The Tobacco Row Mountains, Samuel R. Cook, John L. Johns, Karenne Wood Dec 2004

The Monacan Nation Pow Wow: Symbol Of Indigenous Survival And Resistance In The Tobacco Row Mountains, Samuel R. Cook, John L. Johns, Karenne Wood

Southern Anthropologist

This article explores the meaning of the Monacan pow wow to those who live in the host community. We contend that this pow wow constitutes a political expression for the Monacan people, a celebration of survival as indigenous people not only in a state where Indian policy took the form of "documentary genocide" (Smith, 1992), but in a county where local power brokers managed to configure a local political economy in which Indians were integrated at the bottom of a virtual caste system. Considered in a community context, this gathering also constitutes a space where the Monacan people can articulate, …

Lumbee Origins: The Weyanoke-Kearsey Connection, J. Cedric Woods Dec 2004

Lumbee Origins: The Weyanoke-Kearsey Connection, J. Cedric Woods

Southern Anthropologist

To determine the historic Virginia tribe or tribes from which the Lumbee may be descended, I have decided to search the records of North Carolina and Virginia and see where surnames linked to the Lumbee in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries appear. My goal is to see which, if any, have documented ties to specific Virginia Indian communities.

Sounds Of Survival: Language Loss, Retention, And Restructuring Among American Indian Peoples In The Southeast, Clare Dannenberg Dec 2004

Sounds Of Survival: Language Loss, Retention, And Restructuring Among American Indian Peoples In The Southeast, Clare Dannenberg

Southern Anthropologist

This paper investigates indigenous language loss in the Southeastern United States, involving the Eastern Cherokee, Occaneechi, Chickahominy, Haliwa-Saponi, Nansemond, Pamunkey, Catawba, the Monacan tribes, and particularly considers the Lumbee. As will be evident, the resiliency of Native peoples is symbolically manifested in cases like the Lumbee, where ancestral languages have been lost or simply forgotten.
