Spatial Variability Of Groundwater Recharge - I. Is It Really Variable? Jan 2004

Spatial Variability Of Groundwater Recharge - I. Is It Really Variable?

Journal of Spatial Hydrology

The spatial variability of recharge is an important consideration in estimating recharge especially as all methods of estimating it are 'point' estimates and in most places recharge varies in space. This paper along with the accompanying paper attempts to find a suitable answer to the question of taking this variability into account in estimating groundwater recharge. This paper attempts to determine if recharge is actually varying in space and that this is 'true' variability and that it is not an artefact of the method used for estimating recharge. It also pulls together information on spatial variability of recharge reported by …

Diffused Interface Model To Prevent Ingress Of Sea Water In Multi-Layer Coastal Aquifers Jan 2004

Diffused Interface Model To Prevent Ingress Of Sea Water In Multi-Layer Coastal Aquifers

Journal of Spatial Hydrology

In many regions coastal aquifers are major source of supply of water to various sectors. However indiscriminate pumping from these aquifers leads to seawater intrusion which is difficult to contain. A numerical model is developed to study two-dimensional steady state seawater intrusion problem involving hydrodynamic dispersion in a synthetic multi-layered confined coastal aquifer. The intrusion model is used to investigate efficacy of seawater control measures involving freshwater recharge wells and combined system of freshwater recharge and saltwater discharge wells. The study found that depth of recharge well, its location from the seashore and well head are important parameters that can …

Soft Paths, Hard Choices: Environmental Lessons In The Aftermath Of California's Electric Deregulation Debacle, Steven Ferrey Jan 2004

Soft Paths, Hard Choices: Environmental Lessons In The Aftermath Of California's Electric Deregulation Debacle, Steven Ferrey

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

In 2001, California's electric sector deregulation exploded, and with it the state economy and the state political structure. The Governor of California, just recently reelected was recalled by the population, and replaced with Arnold Schwarzenegger. While the physical manifestations of this crisis received media attention, there was a major legal subtext that is still playing out in the courts and will continue for a decade. With the pivotal role that electric power plays in modern American life, and the key transitional role of the legal and regulatory system in transitioning states to a restructured and less regulated format, there are …

A Bar Against Competition: The Unconstitutionality Of Admission Rules For Out-Of-State Lawyers, Andrew M. Perlman Jan 2004

A Bar Against Competition: The Unconstitutionality Of Admission Rules For Out-Of-State Lawyers, Andrew M. Perlman

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

The Article contends that the American Bar Association's Model Rule on Admission by Motion and similar state provisions currently under consideration place unconstitutional limitations on the interstate practice of law and should be revised. These rules often require lawyers, and especially junior lawyers, to re-take the full bar examination as a condition for admission in another state. Although many commentators have criticized these types of requirements as having the primary purpose and effect of protecting the financial interests of the in-state bar, the re-take rule has a more serious and unrecognized flaw. It often violates three constitutional provisions designed to …

Tribal Courts And Federal Sentencing, Kevin Washburn Jan 2004

Tribal Courts And Federal Sentencing, Kevin Washburn

Faculty Scholarship

In light of the overwhelming acceptance of the norm of tribal self-governance in federal Indian policy, the Commission's decision not to credit the legitimate work of tribal courts in adjudicating misdemeanor sentences is surprising. This article critically evaluates this peculiar and unexplained policy. Part I describes the current federal policy toward tribal governments with particular emphasis on tribal courts and explains the role of tribal courts in the unique federal criminal justice regime that governs Indian country. Part II describes the Federal Sentencing Guidelines with particular attention to the provisions on criminal history. Part II also evaluates the Commission's current …

An Investigation For Genetic Susceptibility To Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus And Its Microvascular Complications, D.M. Hegazy Jan 2004

An Investigation For Genetic Susceptibility To Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus And Its Microvascular Complications, D.M. Hegazy

School of Biomedical Sciences Theses

Long-term exposure to diabetes mellitus is associated with metabolic abnormalities such as chronic hyperglycemia and redox imbalance. Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia and genetic factors are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic microvascular diseases. Genetic mutation through the genes coding for enzymes involved in glucose metabolism and immuno-regulatory mechanisms may contribute to the susceptibility to type I diabetes mellitus (TIDM) and its chronic microvascular diseases. Previous studies have shown that the transcription factor, nuclear factor kappa 8 (NFκB) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) are two redox-sensitive cellular responses of most immune and inflammatory diseases including diabetes and its late vascular complications. NFκB promotes …

Tools For Legislative Oversight: An Empirical Investigation, Riccardo Pelizzo, Rick Stapenhurst Jan 2004

Tools For Legislative Oversight: An Empirical Investigation, Riccardo Pelizzo, Rick Stapenhurst

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

Parliaments are the institutions through which governments are held accountable to the electorate. They have a wide range of tools with which to carry out this oversight function, but until recently little analysis had been undertaken on the characteristics or use of such tools. This paper uses data for 83 countries that was collected in 2001 to investigate whether the oversight potential relates to three variables, namely the form of government (presidential, semi-presidential, or parliamentary), per capita income levels, and the level of democracy. The paper finds that oversight potential is greatly affected by the form of government, per capita …

Does The Parliament Make A Difference? The Role Of The Italian Parliament In Financial Policy, Carolyn Forestiere, Riccardo Pelizzo Jan 2004

Does The Parliament Make A Difference? The Role Of The Italian Parliament In Financial Policy, Carolyn Forestiere, Riccardo Pelizzo

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

A recent survey conducted in a sample of 83 countries by the Inter-Parliamentary Union in collaboration with the World Bank Institute on the Relations between the Legislature and the Executive in the Context of Parliamentary Oversight allows cross-national comparison for the role of legislatures in the budgetary process. One of the survey’s most significant indications is that legislatures in presidential systems are generally more involved in the preparation of the budget than legislatures in either parliamentary or semi-presidential systems. The picture, however, is very different when we look at legislatures’ oversight of the budget. Parliaments are generally more involved in …

Mediation On Trial: Ten Verdicts On Court-Related Adr, Nadja Alexander Jan 2004

Mediation On Trial: Ten Verdicts On Court-Related Adr, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article critically evaluates the development of court-related mediation by reference to the evolution of ADR practice and theory. The author explores the divergent approaches taken in different jurisdictions to the relationship between ADR and court-based processes while referring to some similar phases of development and the varied empirical examinations of process. The integration of ADR into the 'mainstream' dispute resolution culture is also explored from the perspective of the diversity versus consistency of process debates while reflecting upon the variations in ADR usage between inquisitorial and more adversarial legal systems.

Mediation: Ein Meta Modell, Nadja Alexander Jan 2004

Mediation: Ein Meta Modell, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The Mediation Meta-Model introduced in this article provides a framework for understanding a range of mediation practice models and their relationship to each other and to other ADR processes. It extends the work of Riskin in two ways: first by revising the dimensions of his original Grid to form a Mediation Meta-Model and second, by identifying and labeling a range of practice models within this Meta-Model. The practice models draw from Boulle\u27s work and extend Boulle\u27s four primary models to five. This Meta-Model is developmental insofar as it has the ability to accommodate emerging and changing practice models of mediation. …

Peoples Union For Civil Liberties V Union Of India: Is Indian Democracy Dependent On A Statute?, Shubhankar Dam Jan 2004

Peoples Union For Civil Liberties V Union Of India: Is Indian Democracy Dependent On A Statute?, Shubhankar Dam

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

What is the status of a right to vote in the Indian legal system? Is the right a constitutional/fundamental right? Or is it simply a statutory right? Contrary to the decisions of the Supreme Court in the last five decades, this paper argues that the right to vote is a constitutional right: its textual foundation may be located in Article 326. And, in this sense, the Supreme Court has erred in construing the right to vote as a statutory right under the Representation of Peoples Act, 1951. Interpreting the right to vote as a statutory right has larger implications for …

Why Do Hung Juries Hang?, Paula Hannaford-Agor, Valerie P. Hans, Nicole L. Mott, G. Thomas Munsterman Jan 2004

Why Do Hung Juries Hang?, Paula Hannaford-Agor, Valerie P. Hans, Nicole L. Mott, G. Thomas Munsterman

Faculty Publications

The National Center for State Courts examined dead-locked, or “hung,” juries to see what characteristics they share and how they might be avoided. As one part of the study, surveys of jurors, judges, and attorneys were conducted in four jurisdictions. The Central Division, Criminal, of the Los Angeles County (California) Superior Court and the Superior Court of the District of Columbia were selected because of reported concerns about hung jury rates in those jurisdictions. The Maricopa County (Arizona) Superior Court was chosen because of an innovative procedure there that permits judges to allow further evidence and arguments when a jury …
