Schumpeter's Creative Destruction: A Review Of The Evidence, Arthur M. Diamond Jr.

Economics Faculty Publications

Thoughtful scholars from Adam Smith to Jared Diamond, have asked the same life-and-death question: why do some societies succeed, and others fail, in producing the goods that make life long, healthy and prosperous? Smith's answer was basically that when societies adopt the rules of market capitalism, their economies grow,:and when they do not adopt the rules of market capitalism, their economies do not. Since Smith, other economists have developed more formal models of economic growth. The classic "Solow growth model" emphasized the investment of capital. Romer's "New Growth Theory," includes knowledge as a variable. What is mainly missing from both …

The World Bank And The Ideology Of Reform And Development In International Economic Development Discourse, Joel M. Ngugi

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

Is the current development reform agenda, especially the one operationalized by the World Bank, Ideological? If so, does it matter? These are the two questions that animate this article. In answering both questions in the affirmative, the article first demonstrates how the current development reform agenda is Ideological. It then discusses why and how it matters that the development reform agenda is Ideological. First, the article argues that Ideological rendering of the development reform agenda effectively weakens the ability of Third World countries to articulate their economic and foreign policies in ways that would benefit their citizenry the most. Second, …

Software And Internet Industry Workers: Implications For The Future Of Work In Massachusetts, Sarah Kuhn, Paula Raymann

New England Journal of Public Policy

Those at the leading edge of the new economy — workers in software and Internet workplaces — can tell us something about the future of work in our new world. The authors have conducted a National Science Foundation-funded study of women and men working in IT. They find that while pay and the opportunity to do interesting work are major attractions, challenges facing this workforce include stress, difficulties balancing work and family, and concerns about employment security. While women and men reported similar attitudes and experiences in many areas, in others there were still significant differences.

What's All The Fuss? The "Parade Of Horribles" When Applying 35 U.S.C. § 271(F) To Software Patents, Paul Margulies

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the challenges of applying 35 U.S.C. § 271(f) to software patents in international contexts, arguing that extraterritorial application risks overstepping U.S. jurisdiction and causing international tensions. It advocates for U.S. courts to consider foreign law in such cases to maintain global harmony and avoid conflicts with international agreements like TRIPS.

Random Flows And Diagnostics Of Turbulence In The High Latitude Cirrus, Steven N. Shore, Ted N. Larosa, Raymond J. Chastain, Loris Magnani

Faculty Articles

Aims: We present an analysis of the exceptionally turbulent velocity field in the high Galactic latitude cirrus cloud MBM 3. As in the other translucent clouds in our study (MBM 16 and MBM 40), there is no evidence for internal star formation. However, the large scale velocity variation in this cloud is more pronounced. Methods: We have mapped the cloud in 12CO and 13CO (1-0) at high spatial (0.03 pc) and velocity (0.06 km s-1) resolution. We constructed several velocity probability density functions (PDFs), estimated the turbulent transfer rate, and analyzed the linewidths as a function of the size of …

Prevalence And Association Of The Laboulbenialean Fungus Hesperomyces Virescens (Laboulbeniales: Laboulbeniaceae) On Coccinellid Hosts (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) In Kentucky, Usa, James D. Harwood, Carlo Ricci, Roberto Romani, Kevin M. Pitz, Alex Weir, John J. Obrycki

Entomology Faculty Publications

The laboulbenialean fungi occur throughout the world and are closely associated with a range of arthropods, including many coleopteran hosts. Throughout the summer of 2004, coccinellids were collected from a Bluegrass savanna woodland ecosystem, dominated by blue ash Fraxinus quadrangulata and Chinkapin Oak Quercus muehlenbergii, and the adults were examined for the presence of Hesperomyces virescens using binocular and scanning electron microscopy. Over 80% of adult Harmonia axyridis, a species previously reported as having a persistent association with the fungus, were infected. No significant differences were observed in incidence on male and female hosts, however, the distribution of …

Effects Of Gap Open And Gap Extension Penalties, Hyrum Carroll, Mark J. Clement, Perry Ridge, Quinn O. Snell

Faculty Publications

Fundamental to multiple sequence alignment algorithms is modeling insertions and deletions (gaps). The most prevalent model is to use gap open and gap extension penalties. While gap open and gap extension penalties are well understood conceptually, their effects on multiple sequence alignment, and consequently on phylogeny scores are not as well understood. We use exhaustive phylogeny searching to explore the effects of varying the gap open and gap extension penalties for three nuclear ribosomal data sets. Particular attention is given to optimal phylogeny scores for 200 alignments of a range of gap open and gap extension penalties and their respective …
