Ideas Of Landscape: Finding An Uneasy Peace, Iris Koornstra Jan 2006

Ideas Of Landscape: Finding An Uneasy Peace, Iris Koornstra

Theses : Honours

Landscape, both the actual and the representational, "is a work of the mind" (Schama, 1995, p. 7) it encompasses ideas of difference, arcadia, commodification, nationalism and many others. How does one negotiate the physical and the representational when trying to reach beyond the traditions of the sublime? Anchoring my research in the physical landscape of Kings Park, Perth, Australia whilst looking at looking this paper explores the manifestation of ideas about land in both forms. Central to my research approach is W.J.T. Mitchell's theses on landscape number eight, which states: "landscape is an exhausted medium, no longer viable as a …

A Longitudinal Study Of The Personal And Professional Responses Of Recently Assigned Secondary Religious Education Teachers To Curriculum Demands, Chris B. Hackett

Theses

This research is a longitudinal study, conducted in Catholic schools of Perth and its environs.

Initially, a comprehensive survey of three dioceses in Western Australia was conducted and formed a contextual database for the study. The database acted as the foundation for the selection of a purposive sample of teachers for the first round of interviews. Follow-up interviews with this sample cohort were carried out the following year. The research design used in this study assisted the development of a representative, …

Three Dances From Chaco Canyon, Michael Mauldin Jan 2006

Three Dances From Chaco Canyon, Michael Mauldin

New Mexico Composers' Archive

Dutch linguist Elizabeth Willink, mother of my composer-friend George Willink, invited me to stay at her adobe house near Cuba, New Mexico on my trips back and forth from Chaco Canyon. Using her piano, I sketched this work there, and years after her death I bought the home for my composing and teaching retreat. Additional program notes on the inside cover of the score.

Neutrosophic Rings, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy Jan 2006

Neutrosophic Rings, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this book we define the new notion of neutrosophic rings. The motivation for this study is two-fold. Firstly, the classes of neutrosophic rings defined in this book are generalization of the two well-known classes of rings: group rings and semigroup rings. The study of these generalized neutrosophic rings will give more results for researchers interested in group rings and semigroup rings. Secondly, the notion of neutrosophic polynomial rings will cause a paradigm shift in the general polynomial rings. This study has to make several changes in case of neutrosophic polynomial rings. This would give solutions to polynomial equations for …

Unmatter Entities Inside Nuclei, Predicted By The Brightsen Nucleon Cluster Model, Florentin Smarandache, Dmitri Rabounski Jan 2006

Unmatter Entities Inside Nuclei, Predicted By The Brightsen Nucleon Cluster Model, Florentin Smarandache, Dmitri Rabounski

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Applying the R. A. Brightsen Nucleon Cluster Model of the atomic nucleus we discuss how unmatter entities (the conjugations of matter and antimatter) may be formed as clusters inside a nucleus. The model supports a hypothesis that antimatter nucleon clusters are present as a parton (sensu Feynman) superposition within the spatial confinement of the proton (1H1), the neutron, and the deuteron (1H2). If model predictions can be confirmed both mathematically and experimentally, a new physics is suggested. A proposed experiment is connected to othopositronium annihilation anomalies, which, being related to one of known unmatter entity, orthopositronium (built on electron and …

From The Oau To The Au: A Normative Shift With Implications For Peacekeeping And Conflict Management, Or Just A Name Change?, Jonathan D. Rechner Jan 2006

From The Oau To The Au: A Normative Shift With Implications For Peacekeeping And Conflict Management, Or Just A Name Change?, Jonathan D. Rechner

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Many of the nations of Africa have struggled with violence since their independence from colonial powers. The formation of an intercontinental body, the Organization for African Unity, did little to reduce the number or severity of the conflicts. The failure of this organization to maintain peace was due in large part to normative boundaries that prevented its involvement in the internal conflicts of its member nations. The Organization of African Unity was dissolved in favor of a new organization, the African Union, in 2001. The mandate of the African Union is much more proactive than that of its predecessor with …

From Fretting Takeovers To Vetting Cfius: Finding A Balance In U.S. Policy Regarding Foreign Acquisitions Of Domestic Assets, Gaurav Sud Jan 2006

From Fretting Takeovers To Vetting Cfius: Finding A Balance In U.S. Policy Regarding Foreign Acquisitions Of Domestic Assets, Gaurav Sud

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Merger law in the United States has historically relied on a system of private ordering with as little intervention from the federal government as possible. This scheme lies in stark contrast to the merger law of many other developed nations and, as such, has become a trademark of U.S. corporate law. Recent events, however, have brought into question the system's desirability in cross-border transactions where foreign entities are investing in U.S. assets. Proponents of reform argue that the federal government should become more involved in the approval process for these transactions given increased concerns of national security, while opponents argue …

Toward Facilitating A Voice For Politically Marginalized Minorities And Enhancing Presidential Public Accountability And Transparency In Foreign Health Policymaking, Nina J. Crimm Jan 2006

Toward Facilitating A Voice For Politically Marginalized Minorities And Enhancing Presidential Public Accountability And Transparency In Foreign Health Policymaking, Nina J. Crimm

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Residents of underdeveloped countries who belong to ethnic, racial, sexual, and political minorities usually endure relatively ineffective political voices. More than any other world population segment, these marginalized people are vulnerable to, and suffer from, compromised health and life expectancies. Their immense human tolls have spawned severe global humanitarian, economic, social, political, and security dilemmas contrary to the strategic interests of the United States. Despite recognition of these devastating harms here and abroad, the president as de facto primary U.S. foreign policymaker continues to formulate foreign health policy in an insular policymaking environment. The insularity enables the president to design …

Professor Harold G. Maier At Pepperdine, W H. Bigham Jan 2006

Professor Harold G. Maier At Pepperdine, W H. Bigham

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

A curious concatenation of events brought Hal Maier and me together, once again, in school year 2000-2001 at Malibu and Pepperdine. We had labored concurrently in the Vanderbilt vineyard for a decade and a half, where we were close friends and colleagues on the Vanderbilt Law School faculty--a time of thrilling growth and maturing in the law school. We went our separate ways at the end of the '70s, but on the invitation of a former Vanderbilt student of both of us, Pepperdine Dean Richard Lynn, whom I had recommended for a faculty position at Pepperdine years earlier, Hal Maier …

Four Decades Later, Robert Covington

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Hal Maier and I have taught on the same faculty for four decades. I still like him and enjoy his company, and there are not many people of whom I can say that forty years later. We have agreed and differed with one another on a whole range of issues, from the shape of the first-year curriculum to politics and back again, but have managed to stay friends through it all. Perhaps this is because we could put our differences to one side in the interest of what we insisted was music back when Hal was the drummer and I …

Is The Cisg Benefiting Anybody?, Gilles Cuniberti Jan 2006

Is The Cisg Benefiting Anybody?, Gilles Cuniberti

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods (CISG) was supposed to increase legal certainty and reduce the transaction costs of international buyers and sellers. This Article argues that none of these goals has been met. A survey of 181 court decisions and arbitral awards applying the CISG shows that the vast majority of international buyers and sellers do not address the issue of the law governing their contracts, irrespective of the value at stake. Although the data is not easy to interpret, it follows that international buyers and sellers are simply not concerned with the legal regime governing …

Doctrines Without Borders: Territorial Jurisdiction And The Force Of International Law In The Wake Of Rasul V. Bush, Brennan T. Brooks Jan 2006

Doctrines Without Borders: Territorial Jurisdiction And The Force Of International Law In The Wake Of Rasul V. Bush, Brennan T. Brooks

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States responded with military action aimed at eradicating terrorist networks around the world. The action in Afghanistan resulted in several hundred captured enemy combatants being sent to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Because the base is not within the territory of the United States, the Bush administration took the position that the detainees could be held indefinitely without review in civilian courts. In a surprising move, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the detainees did have a right to petition civilian courts for habeas corpus review. Thus, the …

Moral Rights Protection In The United States And The Effect Of The Family Entertainment And Copyright Act Of 2005 On U.S. International Obligations, Brandi L. Holland Jan 2006

Moral Rights Protection In The United States And The Effect Of The Family Entertainment And Copyright Act Of 2005 On U.S. International Obligations, Brandi L. Holland

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Alteration of a motion picture has become legal as a result of the Family Movie Act, an attachment to the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act approved by Congress and signed by the President in early-2005. The "family movie" provision, championed by U.S. Representative Lamar Smith, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Internet and Intellectual Property Subcommittee, indemnifies any company that makes filtered versions of movies without authorization from the copyright owners. Proponents claim the bill is a way to put content-filtering back into the hands of individual families, while critics claim their copyrights are violated whenever a company redistributes their …

A Tale Of Two Countries: Parallel Visions For Informed Consent In The United States And The United Kingdom, Ben Sones

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In recent years, the proper role of informed consent doctrine in an environment of healthcare cost containment has been a hotly contested legal and policy issue. The purpose of this Note is to probe the current informed consent debate in the United States and the United Kingdom and to draw out the respective roles informed consent ought to play in those two systems. In doing so, this Note draws on the history of the doctrine and several recent scholarly proposals, and offers a modest proposal synthesizing the best aspects of those proposals.

Criminalizing Marital Rape: A Comparison Of Judicial And Legislative Approaches, Theresa Fus Jan 2006

Criminalizing Marital Rape: A Comparison Of Judicial And Legislative Approaches, Theresa Fus

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Even though many countries still permit husbands to rape their wives with little or no consequence, there is a growing trend that marital exemption is unjust and has no place in a civilized society. Recognition of the inappropriateness of marital exemption is, however, only the first step towards its elimination. To effectively equalize treatment of marital and non-marital rape, legislatures and judiciaries must take action. Several countries have already been host to the abolition of marital immunity, but their approaches may not be the most effective. This Note examines the experiences of England and Canada as examples of judicial and …
