Features Of Born-Global Processing Plants Under The Global Economy, Helen G. Zhao, Vistor H.Y. Lo, Domenic Sculli

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

A Born-Global Processing Plant (BGPP) is the formation of a new manufacturing plant specifically for the world-wide outsourcing industry and is a unique product of the global economy. The concept of a Born-Global entity has been mainly associated with high-tech industries and high-tech products. In this paper we extend the term BGPP to cover the concept of Born-Global to mature/low-tech and labor intensive processing plants that produce many of the traditional manufactured products. Such processing plants form the backbone of Southern China’s economic development. The conventional view regards a BGPP as playing a minor role in a traditional multinational enterprise …

A Model Regime Of Privacy Protection (Version 2.0), Daniel J. Solove, Chris Jay Hoofnagle

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

This version incorporates and responds to the many comments that we received to Version 1.1, which we released on March 10, 2005.

Privacy protection in the United States has often been criticized, but critics have too infrequently suggested specific proposals for reform. Recently, there has been significant legislative interest at both the federal and state levels in addressing the privacy of personal information. This was sparked when ChoicePoint, one of the largest data brokers in the United States with records on almost every adult American citizen, sold data on about 145,000 people to fraudulent businesses set up by identity thieves. …

The Impact Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 On The Auditing Profession, Samantha Marie Rayburn

Honors Theses

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed in order to restore investor confidence to the market after a series of accounting fiascos. Congress included in this act legislation creating the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to monitor audits conducted on publicly traded companies and made many provisions concerning auditor independence. However, the most controversial part of the legislation was Section 404 which requires an audit of internal controls. The intent of this study was to determine how Sarbanes-Oxley will impact the auditing profession. This was determined through an intense review of the most current articles available on the subject. It …

Engineering Genetic Networks To Measure Real Time Repression By Λ Cro In Vivo, Zachary Louis Leblanc Jan 2005

Engineering Genetic Networks To Measure Real Time Repression By Λ Cro In Vivo, Zachary Louis Leblanc

Honors Theses

The field of systems biology seeks to engineer systems in order to explore specific dynamic properties as they act in vivo. Cellular activities have been proven to be regulated by a range of DNA binding proteins that bind to specific sequences that activate or repress transcription. Certain phage and bacterial repressor proteins were among the first of these DNA binding proteins to be characterized structurally and functionally. The demand for study of key steps in regulation of protein expression, folding, and repression has created multiple studies into systems of varying complexity. The data in this report explores the lambda system, …

Size Exclusion Chromatography: Estimation Of Protein Shape, Gregg Oyemachi Anazia Jan 2005

Size Exclusion Chromatography: Estimation Of Protein Shape, Gregg Oyemachi Anazia

Honors Theses

Cadherin is a cell adhesion protein that is significant in tissue formation. The protein is comprised of an extracellular region, a transmembrane segment and a cytoplasmic domain. The extracellular region contains five independently folded Pbarrel domains. They communicate with one another through calcium ions that bind at the interface between each domain. Our laboratory is interested in characterizing the interactions that the extracellular domains participate in. As a part of this overall goal, analytical techniques must be developed to assess the size of the constmcts. This is important for basic characterization of the recombinant proteins. Determining the change in size …

Honors Theses

Natural language processing, information extraction, information retrieval, and artificial Intelligence are all relatively new areas of study. Research as of late has begun making greater advances In these technological areas, yet much of the potential of these types of systems is still untapped. Though there are a few good examples of these systems put to use in the business world, due to technological limitations and pitfalls, these systems have yet to see widespread use. This thesis explores the technology behind the systems and looks into some of the current ways they are implemented. Finally, a system design referred to as …

Garda Diversion Of Young Offenders: An Unreasonable Threat To Due Process Rights?, Liz Cambell Jan 2005

Garda Diversion Of Young Offenders: An Unreasonable Threat To Due Process Rights?, Liz Cambell

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

Diversion programmes play a significant role in the field of youth justice, as an alternative to the conventional court process, which aim to prevent the entry of the child into the formal justice system. The long-established practice of diverting certain young offenders from prosecution ensures that children are not drawn into the criminal justice system and are not given a criminal record (Goldson, 2000: 35). A non-statutory diversion programme entitled the Garda Liaison Scheme was established in Ireland in 1963, which diverted less serious young offenders from prosecution (Report of the Committee Appointed to Monitor the Effectiveness of the Diversion …

Homeless Outreach Projects For Single Parent Families: What Happens To The Children?, Colleen Kasting, Sibylle Artz Jan 2005

Homeless Outreach Projects For Single Parent Families: What Happens To The Children?, Colleen Kasting, Sibylle Artz

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

This article provides an overview of the changing nature of family homelessness in the US and Canada, the current literature on homeless families and their children, and reports on a Canadian example of community-based research on family homelessness. This research shows that poverty, family violence, a history of abuse and problems with mental health and substance misuse are the dominant factors that contribute to family homelessness. The research also shows that the children of homeless families face grave risks, and makes explicit the need for immediate policy and practice initiatives to end family homelessness.

The problem is becoming a rural rather than an urban one. The research set out to identify gaps in services and existing policies in addressing suicide among young rural men. Data were obtained from interview with the service providers and also from focus group discussions with young rural Kilkenny men. Total participants in the focus groups were 15 young men. Limitations to this study centred around the difficulty of organising …
