Integrated Surface-Plasmon Waveguides For Optical Communications, Adam W. Chamberlain

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

Integrated optics present a potentially low cost and higher performance alternative to electronics in optical communication systems. Surface plasmon waveguides (SPWGs) offer a new approach for manipulating light in integrated optical chips. SPWGs provide several advantages over dielectric waveguides. In this study, a fabrication process for SPWGs is developed. SPWGs are fabricated with various lengths and bend radii to allow for study of absorption and bending losses in the waveguides at telecommunications wavelengths (~1550nm). Finite-element method models of straight, bent, and optically coupled waveguides are developed and analyzed.

The Bewitchment Of Intelligence: Language And Ex Post Illusions Of Intention, Jeffrey M. Lipshaw

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

Lawyers who negotiate and litigate over complex deals have an intuitive notion of the value of what they do in connection with the contract. The arguments around technical contract language often are a lawyers' game; in most cases, what is clear would have been clear on a handshake; and what is tightly negotiated bears only a random relationship to the areas of future dispute. If they happen to have drafted tight and clear language around the particular matter in dispute, it is as much luck as foresight. Thereafter complex agreements can have binding effect for years, but most of the …

Étude Des Horaires De Travail Des Auxiliaires Familiales Et Sociales Des Services De Soins À Domicile Dans Un Clsc - Suivi D’Implantation Du Logiciel De Gestion Des Horaires. Annexe 5 : Rapport D’Intervention Du Clsc 1, Madeleine Bourdouxhe, Esther Cloutier, Élise Ledoux, Catherine Teiger, Hélène David, Isabelle Gagnon, François Ouellet

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les contraintes de temps sont un élément de l’organisation du travail qui peut influencer les stratégies protectrices chez les auxiliaires familiales et sociales travaillant au maintien à domicile des patients de CLSC. Dans un des quatre CLSC participant à une recherche en cours, le milieu avait signalé un besoin spécifique concernant l’étude des horaires de travail et des heures supplémentaires chez les AFS. Les horaires de travail étaient donc un aspect organisationnel important dans ce CLSC en particulier, d’autant plus qu’on s’apprêtait à y implanter un logiciel de gestion des horaires qui se répand dans les établissements analogues, publics comme …

Protecting Rights In The Age Of Terrorism: Challenges And Opportunities, Rosa Brooks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Depending on whom you speak to these days (and the mood in which you find them), international law is either practically moribund, or it's more vibrant and important than it has been for years. To take the good news story first, international law issues have been at the forefront of public discourse over the past few years. Pick your issue: the U.N. Charter and the international law on the use of force? The Convention Against Torture? The Geneva Conventions? You'll find it on the front page these days. Journalists are phoning international law professors for background briefings, and students are …

Is It Too Late For Title Vi Enforcement? - Seeking Redemption Of The Unequal United States' Long Term Care System Through International Means, Ruqaiijah A. Yearby

All Faculty Scholarship

Permeating every facet of life including health care, racial segregation has been a part of the history of the United States since its creation. In fact, the history of African-Americans has been one of tragedy, laced with the hope of equality. This tragedy is a result of three hundred years of slavery, one hundred years of the limited freedom of segregation, three years of the promise of equality granted from the civil rights struggle, and thirty-seven years of resegregation through white flight and institutional racism. Hence, African-Americans have been fighting for the right to freedom, equality, and human dignity for …

Aol Time Warner And The False God Of Shareholder Primacy, Matthew T. Bodie

All Faculty Scholarship

The blockbuster merger between AOL and Time Warner, in the twilight of the dot-com boom, is now characterized as perhaps the worst business combination ever. Shareholders lost over $200 billion in value; the deal's architects were forced out in disgrace; and the surviving executives jettisoned the AOL name as if towipe clean our collective memory. Despite the merger's seismic effects, relatively little has been written about its potential legal ramifications. In this article, I suggest that the collapse of AOL Time Warner is a cautionary tale for those who would advocate greater adherence to the norm of shareholder primacy. Before …

The Social, Professional, And Legal Framework For The Problem Of Pain Management In Emergency Medicine, Sandra H. Johnson

All Faculty Scholarship

Although supported by both ethical and pragmatic imperatives, pain treatment faces significant barriers, particularly in the setting of emergency medicine. This article argues that pain management is integral to good patient care and specifically, good emergency care. In order to achieve effective emergency pain management, it is crucial to understand the "root causes" of pain neglect in emergency medicine - i.e. to understand why emergency physicians behave as they do in pain treatment.

This article begins by addressing the neglect of pain in emergency medicine and the dearth of empirical research regarding the causes of this neglect. After considering barriers …

Predictive Congestion Control Mac Protocol For Wireless Sensor Networks, Maciej Jan Zawodniok, Jagannathan Sarangapani

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Available congestion control schemes, for example transport control protocol (TCP), when applied to wireless networks results in a large number of packet drops, unfairness with a significant amount of wasted energy due to retransmissions. To fully utilize the hop by hop feedback information, a suite of novel, decentralized, predictive congestion control schemes are proposed for wireless sensor networks in concert with distributed power control (DPC). Besides providing energy efficient solution, embedded channel estimator in DPC predicts the channel quality. By using the channel quality and node queue utilizations, the onset of network congestion is predicted and congestion control is initiated. …

The first section explores the history and evolution of the theatre discipline in academia. These chapters examine the expansion and transformation of the theatre curriculum within the discipline and higher education. The second part examines the history and the methodologies of Problem-Based Learning. Based on the philosophy of educator John Dewey, PBL is considered to be a non-traditional method of teaching and learning that encourages the …

The Influence Of Direct-To-Consumer Advertising: Who Will Talk To Their Doctor As A Result Of Prescription Drug Advertisement?, Hai Dubo Chen

Theses and Dissertations

OBJECTIVES: To identify the types of patients who talk with their physicians as a result of Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) advertising. METHODS: Data were taken from a national survey, "Public Health Impact of Direct-to-Consumer Advertising of Prescription Drugs, July 2001- January 2002", conducted by researchers from Harvard Medical School. Participants (n = 3000) were interviewed by telephone. We constructed a conceptual framework consisting of outcomes (3 types of physician visits), intervention (DTC experience) and five groups of explanatory factors (health beliefs, demographics, health status, socioeconomic status and market factors). Data were analyzed with three multivariate stepwise logistic regressions. The three dependent variables …

Medical Error Disclosure, Mediation Skills, And Malpractice Litigation: A Demonstration Project In Pennsylvania, Carol B. Liebman, Chris Stern Hyman

Faculty Scholarship

In the past decade, the cost of medical malpractice insurance has skyrocketed in Pennsylvania. Physicians in high-risk specialties are reported to have moved out of the state, closed their practices, or retired, particularly in eastern Pennsylvania. Liability insurance companies have pulled out of the state. At the same time, serious medical errors continue to occur. Doctors and hospital officials, afraid of lawsuits and loss of insurance coverage, often stonewall patients and relatives, offering only barebones explanations of serious medical errors. Research shows this situation creates a vicious circle in which frustration, anger, and a search for information often motivate patients …

A Pasport To Service Quality, Lynn A. Brock

The Christian Librarian

Part 1 of this article discussed the current service quality environment in which academic libraries find themselves operating, and the challenge for staff performance assessment as an integral element of maintaining and improving effective service quality levels. As referenced in Part 1, Millson-Martula and Menon in a 1999 article in College and Research Libraries suggest that "no effort to enhance customer satisfaction will succeed unless students and faculty are convinced that library staff, as service providers, care about the quality of service they provide and the manner in which they do it. However, library staff will not demonstrate a high …

Small Library, Big Job, Carol Reid

The Christian Librarian

Many small college libraries employ only one professional. T hat means one person serves as reference librarian, cataloger, acquisitions specialist, circulation supervisor, inter-library loan officer, periodicals manager, information literacy instructor, and administrator- as well as conm1ittee member and sometimes teacher. (We won't mention organist, student activity sponsor, or even volleyball coach.) Wearing so many hats at one time can be both a bane and a blessing. "No two days are ever alike." "I like being my own boss." " It's never boring." A 2004 ACL Conference roundtable discussion brought out all of these positives about working in the single-professional library. …

Free, Full-Text, Scholarly Journals On The Web, John Jaeger

The Christian Librarian

In the November, 2000 issue of College & Research Libraries, Michael Fesmire and Elizabeth Young had a fascinating article entitled, "Free Scholarly Electronic Journals: What Access Do College and University Libraries Provide?" In the article, they discussed the rapid growth of these free, academic, peer-reviewed journals on the Internet that covered all different subject areas. Through careful effort, the authors had located over 200 scholarly, full-text, peer reviewed journals, many of which were indexed in major services such as ERIC, Medline, MathSciNet, INSPEC, and C henucal Abstracts. They also noted, though, that most college and university libraries were not making …
