From Semantic Search & Integration To Analytics, Amit P. Sheth
From Semantic Search & Integration To Analytics, Amit P. Sheth
Kno.e.sis Publications
Semantics is seen as the key ingredient in the next phase of the Web infrastructure as well as the next generation of enterprise content management. Ontology is the centerpiece of the most prevalent semantic technologies and provides the basis of representing, acquiring, and utilizing knowledge. With the availability of several commercial products and many research tools, specifications and increasing adoption of Semantic Web standards such as RDF for metadata and OWL for ontology representation, ontology-driven techniques and systems have already enabled a new generation of industry strength semantic applications. In particular, Semagix's Freedom has powered applications in leading verticals such …
"Soft Immutability" And "Imputed Gay Identity": Recent Developments In Transgender And Sexual-Orientation-Based Asylum Law, Joseph Landau
"Soft Immutability" And "Imputed Gay Identity": Recent Developments In Transgender And Sexual-Orientation-Based Asylum Law, Joseph Landau
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article surveys the law of LGBT asylum as it has developed over the past fifteen years, first, with the landmark case of Matter of Toboso-Alfonso, which recognized homosexuality as a "particular social group"; second, with the Ninth Circuit's recent cases adopting a soft immutability standard of identity and expanding asylum protection to transgender individuals; and third, with a discussion of the "particular social group" analysis as it applies to transgender asylum seekers and the emergence of the "imputed gay identity" category as an alternative basis for relief for those litigants who do not identify as gay or lesbian but …
China's Struggle To Maintain Economic Viability While Enforcing International And Domestic Intellectual Property Rights, 4 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 608 (2005), Randal S. Alexander
China's Struggle To Maintain Economic Viability While Enforcing International And Domestic Intellectual Property Rights, 4 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 608 (2005), Randal S. Alexander
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The development of global intellectual property rights (“IPRs”) can lead to complex issues regarding conformity with international standards of IP protection and enforcement. Although each country willing to become a WTO signatory is tasked with the development of such a regime, each country’s domestic affairs and economic survival competes with the burden of adhering to those international standards. This struggle provides the potential for many countries to confuse the boundaries of protection and create a fog of marginal infringement. In China, this fog is heavier because of local protectionism and judicial disincentives to enforce IPRs.
Fifth Avenue And The Patent Lawyer: Strategies For Using Design Patents To Increase The Value Of Fashion And Luxury Goods Companies, 5 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 40 (2005), Scott D. Locke
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Design patents occupy a peculiar niche in intellectual property law. For instance, they are different from copyrights in that an accused infringer has no defense of independent creation, different from utility patents in that there is no prerequisite of a useful function, and different from trade dress in that there is no issue of secondary meaning. Design patents also contain only one claim, which makes the applicant’s drafting task particularly challenging—she must strike a delicate balance between claiming broad protection and establishing novelty. Furthermore, in litigation, the design patent plaintiff must satisfy two tests of infringement: the ordinary observer and …
Spatial Ecology Of Swift Fox Social Groups: From Group Formation To Mate Loss, Ann M. Kitchen, Erik M. Gese, Seija M. Karki, Edward R. Schauster
Spatial Ecology Of Swift Fox Social Groups: From Group Formation To Mate Loss, Ann M. Kitchen, Erik M. Gese, Seija M. Karki, Edward R. Schauster
United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications
We examined social group formation, movements and denning relative to other group members, home-range use, and the response to social group disruption among 188 radiocollared swift foxes (Vulpes velox) in Colorado. We found that during the initial stages of pair formation mated foxes shared dens more frequently than during the remainder of their pair-bond. The average distance between mated pairs was influenced by season and time of day, with the greatest proximity in the breeding season (727.2 m 6 42.3 SE), and during diurnal hours (463.7 6 34.7 m). Female foxes spent more time in the core area of the …

Taking Hold Of The Elephant In Child Dependency And Neglect Cases, Christina A. Zawisza
Taking Hold Of The Elephant In Child Dependency And Neglect Cases, Christina A. Zawisza
St. Thomas Law Review
In order to place this article in context, I will first describe Tennessee's practice rule for attorneys representing children as Guardians ad Litem. It is an example of the "Elephant," the many component parts of a child's life that the child's lawyer is required to bring together to represent the child holistically. In Part II, I will describe and apply three developing jurisprudential movements that embrace the techniques I utilize: interdisciplinary practice, creative problem-solving and Therapeutic Jurisprudence. In Part III, I will provide an overview of ecomaps and genograms as they are commonly used in the social sciences. In Part …
Validation Through Other Means: How Immigration Clinics Can Give Immigrants A Voice When Bureaucracy Has Left Them Speechless, Evelyn H. Cruz
Validation Through Other Means: How Immigration Clinics Can Give Immigrants A Voice When Bureaucracy Has Left Them Speechless, Evelyn H. Cruz
St. Thomas Law Review
To better frame this discussion, I will first describe the immigration process and its anti-therapeutic effects on immigrants in some detail. I will then proceed to discuss the use of community presentations and contextual representation practices to preserve a client's voice and validation in the immigration process. Throughout this article, and more specifically in my conclusion, I will examine how students who understand the need to address "psycho-legal soft spots" naturally gravitate to client-centered representation, thereby becoming empathetic and competent practitioners.
English As A Second Language - Or Why Lawyers Can't Write, H P. Southerland
English As A Second Language - Or Why Lawyers Can't Write, H P. Southerland
St. Thomas Law Review
For more than thirty years I've spent a lot of time reading bad writing. By bad writing, I mean writing that fails of its essential purpose-so flawed in concept or execution that it can hardly inform, much less persuade. The writing is the sort that lawyers are routinely expected to produce: briefs, judicial opinions, essays dealing with law-related subjects, and the like. What I see, for the most part, is the writing of second- and third-year law students, the vast majority of whom graduate and enter upon a lifetime career as lawyers.' They take with them for tomorrow the writing …
Gay And Lesbian Adoption: Banishing The Pied Piper, Amy D. Ronner
Gay And Lesbian Adoption: Banishing The Pied Piper, Amy D. Ronner
St. Thomas Law Review
In my recent book, Homophobia and the Law, Robert Browning's Pied Piper, "the strangest figure" with a "queer long coat from heal to head, inducts a core chapter, the one on Children. After all, it is this notorious Pied Piper, who absconds with the town's children, leads them through a "wondrous portal" into the mountain-side cave, and renders their laughter inaudible forever. The Pied Piper has evolved into a menacing conceit that perpetuates discrimination against gay and lesbian couples. It is predicated on an irrational notion that homosexuals will, by coaxing children toward their own sexual orientation, seal them in …
The Evolution Of The Legal Concepts Of Family And Marriage In The Eu Legal System And Its Impact On Society, Jonathan Curci
The Evolution Of The Legal Concepts Of Family And Marriage In The Eu Legal System And Its Impact On Society, Jonathan Curci
St. Thomas Law Review
One particular aspect that we will examine is the emergence of new family forms in same-sex marriages. If the fundamental concepts of "marriage" are redefined, "other unions" or "family types" would be placed on par with heterosexual marriages, enjoying the same benefits the traditional family has provided over the course of humanity. This redefinition of marriage would undermine the concept of the traditional family and ignore its necessity for the benefit to mankind.
A Search For Reason In Fairy Tales, John F. Fernandez
A Search For Reason In Fairy Tales, John F. Fernandez
St. Thomas Law Review
A fairy1 tale: Once upon at time (not so very long ago), in a land (not so far away) lived a beautiful queen (well, actually a "runner up ") with a golden voice. The beautiful queen reined over her people and sang of sunshine. Some of the queen's subjects had felt that they were not treated fairly by the laws of the land and sought to have their unfair treatment prohibited. Apparently, this caused the queen to develop a fear and hatred for these subjects. These subjects had done nothing to the queen. Yet, the queen made it her mission …
Opening Another Exit From Child Welfare For Special Needs Children - Why Some Gay Men And Lesbians Should Have The Privilege To Adopt Children In Florida, Cynthia R. Mabry
Opening Another Exit From Child Welfare For Special Needs Children - Why Some Gay Men And Lesbians Should Have The Privilege To Adopt Children In Florida, Cynthia R. Mabry
St. Thomas Law Review
This article addresses the question of whether some gay and lesbian adults should be permitted to adopt any children in the State of Florida, especially children with special needs. Part I more clearly describes children with special needs. Part II discusses who may adopt special needs children. Part III briefly covers gay and lesbian adoption statistics. Part IV sets forth general and specific factors that may be used in determining whether a particular gay man or lesbian is suitable for adopting children in Florida. This section also enumerates and discusses reasons that are offered to support bans on same-sex adoption. …
Characterizing Moisture Regimes For Assessing Fuel Availability In North Carolina Vegetation Communities, Roberta A. Bartlette, James Reardon, Gary M. Curcio
Characterizing Moisture Regimes For Assessing Fuel Availability In North Carolina Vegetation Communities, Roberta A. Bartlette, James Reardon, Gary M. Curcio
Joint Fire Science Program Research Project Reports
In the southeastern United States prescription burning, fire danger rating and wildfire suppression strategies are constrained by limited knowledge of the influence of moisture content in live vegetation, organic soils, water table and weather. The interactive influence of these factors on fire behavior is not well studied. The 3+ year long study reported here was conducted to gain direct empirical understanding of seasonal fuel and soil moisture dynamics in shrub-dominated pocosin communities, in coastal Virginia and North Carolina, mixed hardwoods communities containing significant laurel and rhododendron understory fuels in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, and longleaf pine communities in …
Fuel Reduction And Restoration Of Pine/Hardwood Ecosystems Severely Impacted By The Recent Southern Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus Frontalis) Epidemic In The Southern Appalachians, James M. Vose, Katherine J. Elliott
Fuel Reduction And Restoration Of Pine/Hardwood Ecosystems Severely Impacted By The Recent Southern Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus Frontalis) Epidemic In The Southern Appalachians, James M. Vose, Katherine J. Elliott
Joint Fire Science Program Research Project Reports
As a result of this most recent SPB epidemic (1999-2003), thousands of hectares of dead pine trees have created wildfire-hazard conditions in the southern Appalachians. One of the challenges for land managers is how to return fire to these ecosystems after (1) nearly a decade of exclusion, and (2) the more recent SPB mortality enhanced fuel loads. Higher fuel loads have the potential to increase fire intensity and severity. At the extremes, fires of high intensity and severity can have a large effect on ecosystem structure and function. The objectives of our research were: (1) to quantify fuel load reduction …

Faculty Publications
Immature dendrites extend many actin-rich filopodial structures that can be replaced by synapse-containing dendritic spines as the neuron matures. The large GTPase dynamin-3 (Dyn3) is a component of the postsynapse in hippocampal neurons but its function is undefined. Here, we demonstrate that a specific Dyn3 variant (Dyn3baa) promotes the formation of immature dendritic filopodia in cultured neurons. This effect is dependent upon Dyn3 GTPase activity and a direct interaction with the F-actin-binding protein cortactin. Consistent with these findings, Dyn3baa binds to cortactin with a 200% higher affinity than Dyn3aaa, a near identical isoform that does not induce dendritic filopodia when …

Five-Year Review Of Executive Order 13112 On Invasive Species
Five-Year Review Of Executive Order 13112 On Invasive Species
National Invasive Species Council
Invasive species inhabit all regions of the United States and every nation. The price society pays for invasives is reflected not only in significant economic damage but also in high level of environmental degradation, loss of recreational opportunities, and harm to animal, plant, and human health. Executive Order 13112 (EO) was issued in 1999 to enhance federal coordination and response to the complex and accelerating problem of invasive species. As directed by the EO, the National Invasive Species Council has approved this report for the Office of Management and Budget to assess the effectiveness of the EO and evaluate whether …
