Crawford And The Forfeiture By Wrongdoing Exception, Joan Comparet-Cassani
Crawford And The Forfeiture By Wrongdoing Exception, Joan Comparet-Cassani
San Diego Law Review
The doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing was carved out as an exception to the standard for the admissibility of testimonial hearsay evidence laid down in Crawford v. Washingtom . Since Crawford , the California Supreme Court granted review in two cases, People v. Giles and People v. Jiles , which applied the doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing. The forfeiture doctrine was originally formulated to require the accused commit an intentional act to prevent a witness from testifying, thus proving that the doctrine's nature is based on the equitable principle that no person shall profit from wrongful conduct. By examining the …

This Comment will, first, determine whether the government's unitary waters approach is a viable interpretation of the SWA. Second, it will explore what characteristics should be considered to determine whether two water bodies are"meaningfully distinct." Finally, this Comment will explore the possible consequences of applying the NPDES program to water transfers between two water bodies.
Energy Efficient Transportation For Florida, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker
Energy Efficient Transportation For Florida, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker
FSEC Energy Research Center®
Nearly 30% of energy used in Florida is consumed by our 13 million personal automobiles. Annual gasoline consumption in Florida is about 7.5 billion gallons. Florida also has more registered cars per capita than any other state in the U.S. - nearly one car for each person. The average Florida automobile is driven over 10,000 miles a year burning about 550 gallons of gasoline and costing its owner about $1,500 in fuel costs alone (not to mention payments, insurance, service, repairs, tires, tags, license etc.). Based on a comprehensive analysis, total automobile operating costs average over $850 per month.
Minimum Power Configuration For Wireless Communication In Sensor Networks, Guoliang Xing, Chenyang Lu, Ying Zhang, Qingfeng Huang, Robert Pless
Minimum Power Configuration For Wireless Communication In Sensor Networks, Guoliang Xing, Chenyang Lu, Ying Zhang, Qingfeng Huang, Robert Pless
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
This paper proposes the Minimum Power Configuration (MPC) approach to power management in wireless sensor networks. In contrast to earlier research that treats different radio states (transmission/reception/idle) in isolation, MPC integrates them in a joint optimization problem that depends on both the set of active nodes and the transmission power. We propose four approximation algorithms with provable performance bounds and two practical routing protocols. Simulations based on realistic radio models show that the MPC approach can conserve more energy than existing minimum power routing and topology control protocols. Furthermore, it can flexibly adapt to network workload and radio platforms.

Agimone: Midddleware Support For Seamless Integration Of Sensor And Ip Networks, Gregory Hackmann, Chien-Liang Fok, Gruia-Catalin Roman, Chenyang Lu
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
The scope of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications has traditionally been restricted by physical sensor coverage and limited computational power. Meanwhile, IP networks like the Internet offer tremendous connectivity and computing resources. This paper presents Agimone, a middleware layer that integrates sensor and IP networks as a uniform platform for flexible application deployment. This layer allows applications to be deployed on the WSN in the form of mobile agents which can autonomously discover and migrate to other WSNs, using a common IP backbone as a bridge. It facilitates data sharing between WSNs and the IP network through remote tuple space …
Design And Performance Of A Fault-Tolerant Real-Time Corba Event Service, Huang-Ming Huang, Christopher Gill
Design And Performance Of A Fault-Tolerant Real-Time Corba Event Service, Huang-Ming Huang, Christopher Gill
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Developing distributed real-time and embedded (DRE)systems in which multiple quality-of-service (QoS) dimen-sions must be managed is an important and challenging R&D problem. This paper makes three contributions to re-search on multi-dimensional QoS for DRE systems. First, itdescribes the design and implementation of a fault-tolerantreal-time CORBA event service for The ACE ORB (TAO).Second, it describes our enhancements and extensions tofeatures in TAO, to integrate real-time and fault toleranceproperties. Third, it presents an empirical evaluation ofour approach. Our results show that with some refinements,real-time and fault-tolerance features can be integrated ef-fectively and efficiently in a CORBA event service.
Context Aware Service Oriented Computing In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Radu Handorean, Gruia-Catalin Roman, Christopher Gill
Context Aware Service Oriented Computing In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Radu Handorean, Gruia-Catalin Roman, Christopher Gill
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
These days we witness a major shift towards small, mobile devices, capable of wireless communication. Their communication capabilities enable them to form mobile ad hoc networks and share resources and capabilities. Service Oriented Computing (SOC) is a new emerging paradigm for distributed computing that has evolved from object-oriented and component-oriented computing to enable applications distributed within and across organizational boundaries. Services are autonomous computational elements that can be described, published, discovered, and orchestrated for the purpose of developing applications. The application of the SOC model to mobile devices provides a loosely coupled model for distributed processing in a resource-poor and …
End-To-End Scheduling Strategies For Aperiodic Tasks In Middleware, Yuanfang Zhang, Chenyang Lu, Christopher Gill, Patrick Lardieri, Gautum Thaker
End-To-End Scheduling Strategies For Aperiodic Tasks In Middleware, Yuanfang Zhang, Chenyang Lu, Christopher Gill, Patrick Lardieri, Gautum Thaker
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Many mission-critical distributed real-time applicationsmust handle aperiodic tasks with hard end-to-end dead-lines. Existing middleware such as RT-CORBA lacksschedulability analysis and run-time scheduling mecha-nisms that can provide real-time guarantees to aperiodictasks. This paper makes the following contributions to thestate of the art for end-to-end aperiodic scheduling in mid-dleware. First, we compare two approaches to aperiodicscheduling, the deferrable server and the aperiodic utiliza-tion bound, using representative workloads. Numerical re-sults show that the deferrable server analysis is less pes-simistic than the aperiodic utilization bounds when appliedoffline. Second, we propose a practical approach to tuningdeferrable servers for end-to-end tasks. Third, we describedeferrable server mechanisms …
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (Ms4) Regulation Under The Federal Clean Water Act: The Role Of Water Quality Standards?, John H. Minan
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (Ms4) Regulation Under The Federal Clean Water Act: The Role Of Water Quality Standards?, John H. Minan
San Diego Law Review
The Clean Water Act, the primary federal statute regulating water pollution, requires municipal storm water discharge permits, under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program, to include provisions controlling discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems. This article questions whether the Clean Water Act's maximum extent practicable standard is the only statutory standard given the current trend toward compliance with state water quality standards independent of the maximum extent practicable standard, and whether the Clean Water Act superseded the state water quality standards. State water quality standards act as a water quality threshold, which are reviewed often by the states …

An Introductory Essay: Are We In “The Age Of Resistance” In A Post-9/11 World?, J. P. Linstroth
An Introductory Essay: Are We In “The Age Of Resistance” In A Post-9/11 World?, J. P. Linstroth
Peace and Conflict Studies
This introductory article to the Special Issue of Peace and Conflict Studies asks, “are we in the ‘Age of Resistance’ in a post-9/11 world?” It is argued the concept of “resistance” may be framed in a broad theoretical context to include multiple and contested meanings by social and political actors as well as by scholars and through intellectual debate. The article questions recent ideas prevalent in fauxpolitical science studies which promote a clash of civilizations, essentialize histories, support anachronistic Orientalist-approaches, and bolster foreign policy initiatives by removing the human element. The contention is for researchers and theorists to concentrate on …

Attention Felons: Evaluating Project Safe Neighborhood In Chicago, Andrew V. Papachristos, Tracey L. Meares, Jeffrey Fagan
Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series
This research uses a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the impact of Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN) initiatives on neighborhood level crime rates in Chicago. Four interventions are analyzed: (1) increased federal prosecutions for convicted felons carrying or using guns, (2) the length of sentences associated with federal prosecutions, (3) supply-side firearm policing activities, and (4) social marketing of deterrence and social norms messages through justice-style offender notification meetings. Using an individual growth curve models and propensity scores to adjust for non-random group assignment, our findings suggest that several PSN interventions are associated with greater declines of homicide in the treatment neighborhoods …

2005 Indiana County Highway Departments Bridge Replacement Cost Estimation Procedures, Indiana Ltap
Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications
This report is intended to provide county bridge officials a simple, straight forward method to estimate the costs of replacing county bridges. The report uses information from bridges constructed from 1997 through 2005, which was obtained through surveys completed by Indiana counties. Regressions were performed on the data and a spreadsheet prepared that allows users to input Average Daily Traffic (ADT) and the old bridge length to obtain an estimate for the cost of a replacement bridge.

Automated Adaptive Intrusion Containment In Systems Of Interacting Services, Yu-Sung Wu, Bingrui Foo, Yu-Chun Mao, Saurabh Bagchi, Eugene H. Spafford
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
Large scale distributed systems typically have interactions among different services that create an avenue for propagation of a failure from one service to another. The failures being considered may be the result of natural failures or malicious activity, collectively called disruptions. To make these systems tolerant to failures it is necessary to contain the spread of the occurrence automatically once it is detected. The objective is to allow certain parts of the system to continue to provide partial functionality in the system in the face of failures. Real world situations impose several constraints on the design of such a disruption …

Automated Monitor Based Diagnosis In Distributed Systems, Gunjan Khanna, Mike Yu Cheng, Padma Varadharajan, Saurabh Bagchi, Miguel P. Correia, Paulo J. Veríssimo
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
In today's world where distributed systems form many of our critical infrastructures, dependability outages are becoming increasingly common. In many situations, it is necessary to not just detect a failure, but also to diagnose the failure, i.e., to identify the source of the failure. Diagnosis is challenging since high throughput applications with frequent interactions between the different components allow fast error propagation. It is desirable to consider applications as black-boxes for the diagnosis process. In this paper, we propose a Monitor architecture for diagnosing failures in large-scale network protocols. The Monitor only observes the message exchanges between the protocol entities …

Predicting Protein Structure And Function Using Machine Learning Methods, Mary Q. Yang, Jack Y. Yang, Okay K. Ersoy
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
Many of the central questions in bioinformatics relate to protein structure and function. We are mainly be concerned with three problems: identifying transmembrane segments in proteins, distinguishing disordered from ordered regions, and determining protein function from sequence information. In order to deal effectively with these problems, we have conducted an in-depth analyses of the physiochemical properties of the amino acids that make up proteins and the amino acid compositions of the various types of proteins. We approach the above questions from a machine learning perspective; the advantage of machine learning approaches over traditional laboratory methods is that the former are …

Labor And Employment Law, W. David Paxton, Gregory R. Hunt
University of Richmond Law Review
It was a relatively quiet year in the Virginia labor and employment law arena, with no real groundbreaking cases or legislative enactments. There were developments in case law and legislative changes, but these were more subtle this year than in years past, and for the most part, the courts confirmed, affirmed, or clarified the existing state of the law. This article discusses cases and legislative activity of note in the Virginia labor and employment law arena during the past year. Part II addresses recent cases considering employment agreements under Virginia law. Part III considers cases in the continually evolving area …
