Evolution Of A Late Cenozoic Supradetachment Basin Above A Flat-On-Flat Detachment With A Folded Lateral Ramp, Se Idaho, A. N. Steely, Susanne U. Janecke, S. P. Long, S. C. Carney, R. Q. Oaks Jr., V. E. Langenheim, P. K. Link

Geosciences Faculty Publications

Uplift and exposure of the Bannock detachment system and the synextensional basin fill deposits of the Salt Lake Formation provide a unique exposure of the three-dimensional geometries of a low-angle normal fault system and the stratal architecture of the overlying supradetachment basin. Within this system, structural and stratigraphic analyses, outcrop patterns, tephra geochronology, and geological cross sections document several important relationships: (1) the Bannock detachment system developed above the Sevierage Cache-Pocatello culmination and resembles the Sevier Desert detachment in its geometry, structural setting, and kinematic evolution; (2) the Bannock detachment system initiated and slipped at low angles; (3) flat-on-flat, ramp-flat, …

États de la question, rapports d’expertise et revues de littérature

Problématique de santé et sécurité du travail et objectifs spécifiques :

La silicose est une maladie pulmonaire causée par l’exposition à la poussière de silice. Il s’agit d’une maladie se caractérisant par la destruction du tissu du poumon qui peut continuer d’évoluer même si le travailleur est retiré du travail et si l’exposition à la silice cesse. Les secteurs de l’activité ouvrière les plus souvent concernés comprennent les mines et carrières, les fonderies ainsi que l’utilisation du jet de sable. La maladie est le plus souvent décelée chez les travailleurs ‚gés d’environ une soixantaine d’années, après plusieurs décennies d’exposition aux …

Impact Des Interactions Toxicologiques Sur La Gestion Des Situations D’Exposition À Des Contaminants Multiples, Adolf Vyskocil, Claude Viau, Robert Tardif, Denis Bégin, Michel Gérin, France Gagnon, Daniel Drolet, François Lemay, Ginette Truchon, Marc Baril, Gilles Lapointe, Normand Gagnon

États de la question, rapports d’expertise et revues de littérature

L’exposition aux mélanges de substances chimiques en milieu de travail soulève de nombreuses interrogations en regard des possibilités d’interaction entre elles. Les interactions tels la synergie, la potentialisation et l’antagonisme sont plutôt bien documentées dans le domaine de la pharmacologie. Dans le domaine de la santé au travail, les recommandations de regroupement de scientifiques (par exemple le comité TLV^®s des substances chimiques de l’ACGIH^®) et de nombreuses législations proposent, de façon générale, que l’on doive tenir compte de la présence de nombreux contaminants, si ces derniers ont des effets similaires sur les mêmes organes ou systèmes …

The Photographer's Wife: Emmet Gowin's Photographs Of Edith, Mikell Waters Brown

Theses and Dissertations

Exemplified in the oeuvres of photographers Alfred Stieglitz, Harry Callahan, Lee Friedlander, and Emmet Gowin, the photographer's wife is a distinctive subject in twentieth-century American fine-art photography that fuses the domains of public and private life through the conflation of art and marriage. The transgressive nature of this juncture can be located in a confluence of gazes - the artist's, the subject's, and the viewer's - that are embroiled in constructing subjectivities. The phrase "photographer's wife" underscores an assumed imbalance of power reflecting a binary of active/passive, artist/model, and husband/wife. It is this study's contention that the complexity of the …

Identifying Water And Moisture Infiltration Paths In Building Envelopes, Louis Lazure, Jacques Lavoie

Fiches

Trois éléments favorisent la prolifération microbienne dans un environnement intérieur : a) la source microbienne, b) les nutriments et c) l'eau. Le contrôle de l'apport hydrique s'avère généralement le moyen le plus efficace pour la limiter. L'omniprésence des microbes dans notre environnement et la présence de nombreux matériaux et d'autres substrats nutritifs limitent les possibilités d'intervention rapide et efficace.

Capitalism, Social Marginality, And The Rule Of Law's Uncertain Fate In Modern Society, Ahmed A. White

Publications

The rule of law is liberalism's key juridical aspiration. Yet its norms, centered on the principles of legality and legal generality, are being compromised all over the political and legal landscape. For decades, the dominant explanation of this worrying condition has focused mainly on the rise of the welfare state and its apparent incompatibility with the rule of law. But this approach, though shared by a politically diverse range of scholars, is outdated and misconceives the problem. A central function of the modem state has always been to prevent capitalism's inherent tendencies toward social marginalization from devolving into general social …

The Corporation As Insider Trader, Mark J. Loewenstein, William K.S. Wang

Publications

With regard to issuer purchases, some of the traditional policy rationales against insider trading do not apply or apply with less force. Nevertheless, courts, commentators, and the SEC have all stated or assumed that a public corporation violates rule 10b-5 by buying its own shares in the market based on material, nonpublic information. In rule 10b-5 cases involving face-to-face transactions, several circuit courts have ruled that the company may not purchase its own stock based on material information not known to the seller. No good reason exists not to apply these precedents to stock market trades by issuers, especially because …

The Supreme Court, Rule 10b-5, And The Federalization Of Corporate Law, Mark J. Loewenstein

Publications

This Article examines Supreme Court jurisprudence since 1997 under the federal securities laws in light of the Court's earlier securities law decisions and in light of its recent decisions construing the Constitution and federal statutes as they relate to the regulation of business. These post-1977 cases strongly suggest that the much-heralded new federalism philosophy of the Supreme Court is not a factor in securities law cases or in business cases generally. Indeed, the opposite seems to be the case. In this context, new federalism cases appear to be an anomaly, with the reality being that the Court is still as …

Lawyers' Bargaining Ethics, Contract, And Collaboration: The End Of The Legal Profession And The Beginning Of Professional Pluralism, Scott R. Peppet

Publications

This Article combines contractarian economics and traditional ethical theory to argue for a radical revision of the legal profession's codes of ethics. That revision would end the legal profession as we know it-one profession, regulated by one set of ethical rules that apply to all lawyers regardless of circumstance. It would replace the existing uniform conception of the lawyer's role with a more heterogeneous profession in which lawyers and clients could contractually choose the ethical obligations under which they wanted to operate. This "contract model" of legal ethics, in which lawyers could opt in and out of various ethical constraints, …

Indigenous Peoples' Rights To Water Under International Norms, David H. Getches

Publications

In this article, Dean Getches examines the nature of international law as it relates to indigenous water rights and evaluates the kinds of claims that native peoples might assert when they are deprived of access to water. Around the world, indigenous peoples have experienced depletion or pollution of their traditional water sources caused by the uses made by dominant, non-native societies. As a result, native peoples' ability to perform water-dependent vocations like farming and fishing, and to perpetuate cultures and spiritual practices requiring water is limited. While a few countries recognize water rights of indigenous peoples in their domestic laws, …

Moody Investing And The Supreme Court: Rethinking The Materiality Of Information And The Reasonableness Of Investors, Peter H. Huang

Publications

This Article critically analyzes the judicial decisions and reasoning of the United States Supreme Court and lower courts accepting certain defenses in securities fraud litigation. This Article develops how and why the core notions of materiality of information and the reasonable investor should be revised in light of recent empirical data, experimental evidence, and theoretical models of moody investing. This Article proposes modifying three recent developments in materiality doctrine to take into account moody investing. In particular, this Article argues that current judicial treatment of puffery is flawed because it neglects the power of puffery to alter moods. This Article …

Where There's At-Will, There Are Many Ways: Redressing The Increasing Incoherence Of Employment At Will, Scott A. Moss

Publications

Employment at will, the doctrine holding that employees have no legal remedy for unfair terminations because they hold their jobs at the will of the employer, has become mired in incoherence. State courts praise the common law rule as "essential to free enterprise" and "central to the free market," but in recent years they increasingly have riddled the rule with exceptions, allowing employee claims for whistleblowing, fraud, etc. Yet states have neither rejected employment at will nor shown any consistency in recognizing exceptions. Strikingly, states cite the same rationales to adopt and reject opposite exceptions, as a case study of …

Considering Individual Religious Freedoms Under Tribal Constitutional Law, Kristen A. Carpenter

Publications

As American Indian nations revitalize their legal systems, there is renewed interest in "tribal law," that is, the law of each of the Indian nations. Today, there is a particular focus on the subject of "individual rights" under tribal law. In tribal contexts, people are highly interested in the legal institutions and rules that govern their lives, especially as many tribal communities are experiencing a period of great political, social, and economic change. At the national level, the Supreme Court repeatedly expresses concern about whether individuals, especially non-Indians, will be treated fairly in tribal court. For scholars, individual rights under …

The Hillmon Case, The Macguffin, And The Supreme Court, Marianne Wesson

Publications

The case of Mutual Life Insurance Company v. Hillmon is one of the most influential decisions in the law of evidence. Decided by the Supreme Court in 1892, it invented an exception to the hearsay rule for statements encompassing the intentions of the declarant. But this exception seems not to rest on any plausible theory of the categorical reliability of such statements. This article suggests that the case turned instead on the Court's understanding of the facts of the underlying dispute about the identity of a corpse. The author's investigations into newspaper archives and the original case documents point to …

Automated Core Removal System For The Nasa/Bhi Mars Drill, Konrad Izbinski, Eric Mullen, Lindsay Wetzel, Jeffrey Bennett, Michael Pickford

Engineering Senior Design Reports

NASA is in the process of developing an autonomous drill for use in an unmanned mission to Mars. NASA along with Baker Hughes, Inc. (BHI) has designed a drill capable of drilling a core sample from as deep as twenty meters below the Martian surface. Since the mission is unmanned, an automated process for removal of drilled material from the drill is needed. The Trinity Tigernauts, T.N.G. design group is working on an automation system for the Mars drill that will assist in recovery of these core samples. These samples could be analyzed for signs of water and life. The …
