Evaluation Of Bird Response To Propane Exploders In An Airport Environment, Brian E. Washburn, Richard B. Chipman, Laura C. Francoeur Jan 2006

Evaluation Of Bird Response To Propane Exploders In An Airport Environment, Brian E. Washburn, Richard B. Chipman, Laura C. Francoeur

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Bird-aircraft collisions (bird-strikes) cause serious safety hazards to aircraft, costing civilian aviation at least $496 million annually in the U.S. Non-lethal bird-frightening devices, such as propane exploders, are commonly used to deter birds from airport environments. We conducted a study during August - October 2004 to determine the efficacy of propane exploders utilized with and without concurrent lethal reinforcement activities for altering bird behavior at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York. Two groups of 8 propane exploders each were deployed on the airfield. One group of propane exploders was set to “off” (control), whereas the other group …

External Debt And Growth Dynamics, Si Chen Jan 2006

External Debt And Growth Dynamics, Si Chen

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

Based on an extended growth model, this thesis further explores the joint dynamics between external debt and growth. The model explicitly expresses this growth dynamic mechanism incorporating external debt as an important explanatory variable with risk premium and other related structural factors. The interactions between external debt and growth are interpreted as directly and mainly through the channel of capital accumulation and indirectly through technology change. These constitute the functional form foundation to solve the main concern on the effect of external debt upon growth adjustment path. The numerical simulations of the model indicate that when external debt is assumed …

Reconceptualizing Child Sexual Exploitation As A Bias Crime Under The Protect Act, Tracy Agyemang Jan 2006

Reconceptualizing Child Sexual Exploitation As A Bias Crime Under The Protect Act, Tracy Agyemang

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that the PROTECT Act, while expanding legal measures to combat child sexual exploitation, fails to address the crime's root causes and its nature as a form of discrimination. It advocates for reconceptualizing child sexual exploitation as a bias crime, which would enhance legal deterrence, increase penalties, and better acknowledge the psychological trauma experienced by victims. The note emphasizes that recognizing exploitation as a bias crime would address the systemic factors, such as poverty and discrimination, that perpetuate the crime.

Tannerella Forsythia, A Periodontal Pathogen Entering The Genomic Era, Anne C. R. Tanner, Jacques Izard Jan 2006

Tannerella Forsythia, A Periodontal Pathogen Entering The Genomic Era, Anne C. R. Tanner, Jacques Izard

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Several questions need to be addressed to evaluate whether Tannerella forsythia is to be considered a periodontal pathogen. T. forsythia has been detected in periodontal health and disease, so could it be a pathogen? The species was not detected in many studies despite finding other putative pathogens, so could it be important in pathogenicity? The challenges of working with T. forsythia include its fastidious and anaerobic growth requirements for cultural detection. Thus, studies associating T. forsythia with periodontal and other oral infections have used noncultural approaches (immunoassays and DNA-based assays) in addition to cultural approaches. We feel …

Self Reported Pain Diary For Assessment Of Chronic Pain In The Communicative, Cognitively Intact Nursing Home Resident, Kathy K. Hager Jan 2006

Self Reported Pain Diary For Assessment Of Chronic Pain In The Communicative, Cognitively Intact Nursing Home Resident, Kathy K. Hager

DNP Projects

This paper describes a clinical project using a self-reported pain diary for the assessment of chronic pain in the communicative, cognitively-intact nursing home resident. There are estimates of chronic pain among nursing home residents that range from 4 – 83%. The goal of this clinical project was to evaluate a chronic pain diary in relation to its effectiveness and efficiency in accurately assessing pain among nursing home residents. Assessment has been identified as a major barrier in the control of chronic pain, and the self-report is accepted as the most reliable measure of a person’s pain. The self-reported pain diary’s …

Public Access To Information In Civil Litigation Vs. Litigant's Demand For Privacy: Is The Vanishing Trial An Avoidable Consequence, Dennis J. Drasco Jan 2006

Public Access To Information In Civil Litigation Vs. Litigant's Demand For Privacy: Is The Vanishing Trial An Avoidable Consequence, Dennis J. Drasco

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Recently, the legal and academic communities have been studying the phenomenon of the "vanishing trial." The phenomenon is an observation of the fact that the American court system is experiencing a trend of shrinking trial dockets. At least one scholar has partially attributed the decline in trials to the value placed upon settlement rather than adjudication within our justice system. Those competing values have spawned a debate regarding the secrecy and confidentiality characteristic of settlements versus public access to information in civil litigation. Jurisdictions that have addressed the issue have noted the complexities involved in regard to the factors to …

Designer Trials, Elizabeth Thornburg Jan 2006

Designer Trials, Elizabeth Thornburg

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This article is a thought experiment, or maybe a nightmare, about the intersection of freedom of contract and the trials that have not vanished. Could contracting parties effectively agree in advance of a dispute that any litigation of the case will comply with certain rules? Would such an agreement be enforced even in a contract of adhesion? If so, parties with sufficient bargaining leverage could design away many of the characteristics of litigation that they find unappealing without the need to resort to private processes. The result: a designer trial with the procedural deck stacked in favor of the party …

Parties To International Commercial Arbitration Agreements Beware: Bankruptcy Trumps Supreme Court Precedent Favoring Arbitration Of International Disputes, Lindsay Biesterfeld Jan 2006

Parties To International Commercial Arbitration Agreements Beware: Bankruptcy Trumps Supreme Court Precedent Favoring Arbitration Of International Disputes, Lindsay Biesterfeld

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Phillips v. Congelton (In re White Mountain Mining Co.), presents a heightened version of the conflict between the general policy favoring enforcement of arbitration agreements and the policy favoring resolution of bankruptcy-related claims in the bankruptcy court proceedings as the case involves a dispute over the enforcement of an international agreement to arbitrate a claim that is a "core" bankruptcy proceeding. In Phillips, the Fourth Circuit analyzed the underlying purposes of both the bankruptcy code and the federal arbitration statutes, and resolved the conflicting purposes of the two by giving greater deference to the policy favoring resolution of bankruptcy-related claims …

An Experimental Investigation Of Guided Wave Propagation In Corrugated Plates Showing Stop Bands And Pass Bands, Tribikram Kundu, Sourav Banerjee, Kumar V. Jata Jan 2006

An Experimental Investigation Of Guided Wave Propagation In Corrugated Plates Showing Stop Bands And Pass Bands, Tribikram Kundu, Sourav Banerjee, Kumar V. Jata

Faculty Publications

Nonplanar surfaces are often encountered in engineering structures. In aerospace structures, periodically corrugated boundaries are formed by friction-stir-welding. In civil engineering structures, rebars used in reinforced concrete beams and slabs have periodic surface. Periodic structures are also being used to create desired acoustic band gaps. For health monitoring of these structures, a good understanding of the elastic wave propagation through such periodic structures is necessary. Although a number of research papers on the wave propagation in periodic structures are available in the literature, no one experimentally investigated the guided wave propagation through plates with periodic boundaries and compared the experimental …

Elastic Wave Propagation In Sinusoidally Corrugated Waveguides, Sourav Banerjee, Tribikram Kundu Jan 2006

Elastic Wave Propagation In Sinusoidally Corrugated Waveguides, Sourav Banerjee, Tribikram Kundu

Faculty Publications

The ultrasonicwave propagation in sinusoidally corrugated waveguides is studied in this paper. Periodically corrugated waveguides are gaining popularity in the field of vibration control and for designing structures with desired acoustic band gaps. Currently only numerical method (Boundary Element Method or Finite Element Method) based packages (e.g., PZFlex) are in principle capable of modeling ultrasonic fields in complex structures with rapid change of curvatures at the interfaces and boundaries but no analyses have been reported. However, the packages are very CPU intensive; it requires a huge amount of computation memory and time for its execution. In this paper a new …

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue And A Silver Sixpence For Her Shoe: Dukes V. Wal-Mart & Sex Discrimination Class Actions, Winnie Chau Jan 2006

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue And A Silver Sixpence For Her Shoe: Dukes V. Wal-Mart & Sex Discrimination Class Actions, Winnie Chau

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the effectiveness of large-scale sex discrimination class actions, particularly through the lens of Dukes v. WalMart, in driving systemic change in corporate workplace practices. While these actions often succeed in compensating victims, they frequently fail to address the root causes of discrimination, leaving broader systemic issues unresolved. The analysis highlights the tension between procedural requirements and the need for meaningful reform, suggesting that such lawsuits can prompt some positive changes but often fall short of achieving lasting impact.

Estrogenic Activity In The Environment: Municipal Wastewater Effluent, River, Ponds, And Wetlands, Nancy W. Shappell Jan 2006

Estrogenic Activity In The Environment: Municipal Wastewater Effluent, River, Ponds, And Wetlands, Nancy W. Shappell

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Estrogenic activity of regional water samples was evaluated. Samples obtained from wetlands and ponds involved in various agricultural land uses, from three river sites over four seasons, and from municipal wastewater effluent held in storage lagoons were evaluated. The estrogen- responsive cell line MCF-7 BOS was used in the E-screen assay to determine 17β-estradiol equivalents (E2 Eq) of water samples extracted by solid-phase extraction. Estrogenic activity in surrounding wetlands and ponds from different land uses was not different, with 10-12 M E2 Eq (0.3 ppt). Estrogenic activity of Red River samples was within the same range as wetland–pond …
