A New Era Of Dead-Beat Dads: Determining Social Security Survivor Benefits For Children Who Are Posthumously Conceived, Ann-Patton Nelson
A New Era Of Dead-Beat Dads: Determining Social Security Survivor Benefits For Children Who Are Posthumously Conceived, Ann-Patton Nelson
Mercer Law Review
In Gillett-Netting v. Barnhart, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that posthumously conceived children born to a married couple were dependent under the Social Security Act ("Act") and entitled to child's survivor benefits. The posthumously conceived children in Gillett-Netting were born as a result of an in vitro fertilization process conducted after the husband's death. After the birth of her twins, the mother filed for benefits under the Act based on her late husband's earnings. The court ruled that because the twins were their father's legitimate children under Arizona law, they were to be …

Intellectual Property And The Information Ecosystem, Peter K. Yu
Intellectual Property And The Information Ecosystem, Peter K. Yu
Faculty Scholarship
This short essay proceeds in two parts. The first part examines the controversy surrounding the use of the term intellectual property. It discusses the common criticisms of the term's usage, including those articulated by Richard Stallman. It also challenges the myth that intellectual property did not acquire any property attributes until the establishment of the World Intellectual Property Organization. The essay suggests that the term may remain in common usage despite its uneasy analogy to real property, and a more nuanced understanding of property law may alleviate some of the problems caused by using the term.
The second part focuses …
Destabilizing The Normalization Of Rural Black Land Loss: A Critical Role For Legal Empiricism, Thomas W. Mitchell
Destabilizing The Normalization Of Rural Black Land Loss: A Critical Role For Legal Empiricism, Thomas W. Mitchell
Faculty Scholarship
Mitchell's study exemplifies the New Legal Realist goal of combining qualitative and quantitative empirical research to shed light on important legal and policy issues. He also demonstrates the utility of a ground-level contextual analysis that examines legal problems from the bottom up. The study tracks processes by which black rural landowners have gradually been dispossessed of more than 90% of the land held by their predecessors in 1910. Mitchell points out that despite the continuing practices that contribute to this problem, there has been very little research on the issue, and what little attention legal scholars have paid to it …

Epistasis Among Presynaptic Serotonergic System Components, Scott F. Stoltenberg
Epistasis Among Presynaptic Serotonergic System Components, Scott F. Stoltenberg
Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications
Epistatic interactions among regulatory components of the serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter system may be an important aspect of 5-HT function. Because 5-HT dysregulation is associated with several common psychiatric disorders, the potential for epistasis among genetic variants in the 5-HT transporter (SERT), 5-HT1B terminal autoreceptor and the 5- HT1A somatodendritic autoreceptor should be examined. In this study, output from a dynamic minimal model of 5-HT function was compared to empirical results in the literature. Parameters representing extracellular 5-HT clearance rates (SERT), 5-HT release levels (5-HT1B) and inhibitory thresholds (the amount of extracellular 5-HT above which cell firing …

Role For Akt3/Protein Kinase Bγ In Attainment Of Normal Brain Size, Rachel M. Easton, Han Cho, Kristin Roovers, Diana W. Shineman
Dartmouth Scholarship
Studies of Drosophila and mammals have revealed the importance of insulin signaling through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the serine/threonine kinase Akt/protein kinase B for the regulation of cell, organ, and organismal growth. In mammals, three highly conserved proteins, Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3, comprise the Akt family, of which the first two are required for normal growth and metabolism, respectively. Here we address the function of Akt3. Like Akt1, Akt3 is not required for the maintenance of normal carbohydrate metabolism but is essential for the attainment of normal organ size. However, in contrast to Akt1−/− mice, which display a …

Status and Trends for Virginia Chesapeake Bay
A marked decline in the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay has occurred over the past several decades. The disappearance of submerged aquatic vegetation in certain regions of the Bay, declines in the abundance of some commercially and recreationally important species, increases in the incidence of low dissolved oxygen events, changes in the Bay's food web, and other ecological problems have been related to the deteriorating water quality. The results of concentrated research efforts in the late 1970s and early 1980s stimulated the establishment of Federal and state directives to better manage the Chesapeake Bay watershed. By way of the …

This communication is the 4(superscript th) of a series of papers on McMaster students' perspectives on PBL in medical education(superscript [1-3]), with a special reference to stress associated with learning under PBL environment. Almost everywhere, attending advanced professional education such as law, medicine, and graduate studies(superscript [4-6]), especially for the first year, irrespet1ve of the nature of the curriculum, students are always taxed with a number of stressors. Some stressors are related to the change of physical environment, such as leaving home and adjusting oneself living in a new city. Some stressors are associated with changes in personal relationship, such …

知情同意與術前矛盾之相關聯, 士程 廖, 明濱 李, 宇宙 李, 佳璇 吳, 美智 曾
Journal of Medical Education
當代之醫學倫理強調尊重病患之自主，而「知情同意」之意義，更在於與病患及家屬，共同分擔醫療之不確定性及結果。活體器官移植決策過程中，捐贈者自主性之展現，是移植評估及臨床倫理探討之重點。本研究旨在驗證過去醫病溝通系列研究之核心議題，亦即「知情同意」之評估模式，針對88名活體器官移植之捐贈者（肝臟67名，腎臟21名），於術前精神科聯合照評估場域，以深度會談及心理計量分析，進行知情同意客觀評估模式以及器官移植捐贈者術前矛盾相關因素之先導研究。本研究發現：外向性格傾向與知情同意程度評估呈現顯著相關，於逐步複迴歸模式中，知情同意程度愈佳、年齡層愈低、家庭關懷程度愈高、以及外向程度愈高者，其術前矛盾程度愈低。未來研究方向，除將知情同意程度評估模式，於其他醫療情境中廣泛驗證外，對於活體器官移植捐贈者之知情同意過程中，亦應考慮捐贈者性格傾向與醫病溝通效能兩者之關係，以及年齡和家庭支持度對於術前矛盾之影響。

Knowledge of protein-protein interaction is useful for elucidating protein function via the concept of 'guilt-by-association'. A statistical learning method, Support Vector Machine (SVM), has recently been explored for the prediction of protein-protein interactions using artificial shuffled sequences as hypothetical noninteracting proteins and it has shown promising results (Bock, J. R., Gough, D. A., Bioinformatics 2001, 17, 455-460). It remains unclear however, how the prediction accuracy is affected if real protein sequences are used to represent noninteracting proteins. In this work, this effect is assessed by comparison of the results derived from the use of real protein sequences with that derived …

Walled Gardens, Dan Hunter
Washington and Lee Law Review
The most significant recent development in scholarly publishing is the open-access movement, which seeks to provide free online access to scholarly literature. Though this movement is well developed in scientific and medical disciplines, American law reviews are almost completely unaware of the possibilities of open-access publishing models. This Essay explains how open-access publishing works, why it is important, and makes the case for its widespread adoption by law reviews. It also reports on a survey of law review publication policies conducted in 2004. This survey shows, inter alia, that few law reviews have embraced the opportunities of open-access publishing, and …

A Separate Crime Of Reckless Sex, Ian Ayres, Katharine K. Baker
A Separate Crime Of Reckless Sex, Ian Ayres, Katharine K. Baker
University of Chicago Law Review
This Article attempts to make progress on the problems of both sexually transmitted disease and acquaintance rape by proposing a new crime of reckless sexual conduct. A defendant would be guilty of reckless sexual conduct if, in a first-time sexual encounter with another person, the defendant had sexual intercourse without using a condom. Consent to unprotected intercourse would be an affirmative defense, to be established by the defendant by a preponderance of the evidence. As an empirical matter, unprotected first-time sexual encounters greatly increase the epidemiological force of sexually transmitted disease, and a substantial proportion of acquaintance rape occurs in …

Although many measures have been developed to assess menopausal symptoms, few demonstrate standardization, validity, or reliability. Some measures are based on self-reports of the presence, severity, and frequency of individual symptoms, such as hot flashes. Others utilize cumulative or global scores based on lists or scales of symptoms attributed to menopause, such as mood, cognition, quality of life, sexual function, and somatic symptoms. Many studies base their measures on study-specific checklists, questionnaires, or scales. Ninety-two measures of menopausal symptoms were reported by studies included in this evidence review. This systematic evidence review focuses on five Key Questions relating to symptoms …

Motherhood And Tenure: Can Catholic Universities Support Both?, Bridget Burke Ravizza, Karen Peterson-Iyer
Journal of Catholic Education
This paper presents a plan for the implementation of more family-friendly policies at Catholic colleges and universities, both as a matter of justice for women and on behalf of the well being of families. It is motivated by the teachings of the Catholic social tradition that emphasize the equality and dignity of women; the importance of the dual vocations of Christian parents, who are called to raise children and to work more publicly on behalf of the common good; and the inherent value of children and their right to be properly nutured and educated within the Christian family. Our starting …

Effects Of School Size: A Review Of The Literature With Recommendations, John R. Slate, Craig H. Jones
Essays in Education
In this article the literature on the effects of school size is summarized to describe what is currently known about its relationship to economic efficiency, curricular diversity, academic achievement, and related variables. Two curvilinear relationships are identified: one for economic efficiency and one for educational outcomes. In both cases, increasing size initially brings positive effects but these trends are reversed as size continues to increase. The point of diminishing returns for educational outcomes occurs with fewer students than is the case for economic efficiency. Optimal school size can be defined by a range in which economic efficiency and educational outcomes …

Cultural Constraints And Corrosive Colonization: Western Commerce In Aotearoa/ New Zealand And The Extinction Of The Huia (Heteralocha Acutirostris), Clark S. Monson
Pacific Studies
Early Maori occupation of New Zealand was marked by profligate use of avian resources and the resultant extinction of numerous species including the archipelago's famed moas. As in other Polynesian cultures, however, Maoris came to adopt conservation strategies. I suggest that the Maori conservation technique of tapu or rahui - chiefly prohibitions governing the harvest of vulnerable biological resources - offers crucial insights for modern managers. The former efficacy of rahui is examined through a detailed case study of an extinct New Zealand bird - the huia. Formerly protected by the cultural and religious potency of tapu, the huia met …
