Anticonsultative Trends In Nonprofit Governance, Norman I. Silber
Anticonsultative Trends In Nonprofit Governance, Norman I. Silber
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
The cultural and political demand for nonprofit financial accountability has grown rapidly in recent decades. At the same time, donations and gifts continue, apparently, to decline as a proportion of overall revenue received. To remain viable in this environment, many nonprofit groups are changing their operating models and organizational structures, the better to attract contracts, grants, and fee-for-service revenue. An under-appreciated consequence of the convergence of these accountability and viability challenges is an anti-consultative or anti-collaborative imperative. With increasing frequency, scholars, attorneys, and consultants are advising nonprofit groups that seek to comply with nonprofit laws and to enhance their financial …
Should Corporations Have First Amendment Rights?, Daniel J.H. Greenwood, Kent Greenfield, Erik S. Jaffe
Should Corporations Have First Amendment Rights?, Daniel J.H. Greenwood, Kent Greenfield, Erik S. Jaffe
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
Corporations are the wrong sort of thing to have speech rights. In contrast to the Supreme Court's free speech law, which focuses on the rights of listeners rather than the rights of speakers, I argue that the speaker makes a difference. For-profit business corporations best fulfill their role in our market democracy if they are controlled by a legally structured market, not when they expand their purview to include regulating their regulators.

Clinics provide an opportunity for students to engage in a very critical, reflective process about their role as lawyers representing clients and about their position within the legal profession as a whole. In some ways, it makes my job quite easy. It is such a natural outgrowth of all of the conversations that I am having with students, including those with disabilities, to think and talk with them about the areas that challenge them and to begin to explore that as they are taking on this practicing role. Additionally, it gives me the opportunity to talk with them about their …
Family Court And The Unique Needs Of Children And Families Who Lack Immigration Status, Theo Liebmann
Family Court And The Unique Needs Of Children And Families Who Lack Immigration Status, Theo Liebmann
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
Language abounds in the New York Family Court Act on the Court's duties to aid families in crisis, to maintain families whenever appropriate, to safeguard children's well-being, and to provide children with permanency in their lives. These are not narrow obligations, and as the population served by the New York City Family Court changes, its judges, practitioners, and agencies must adapt. The Court today must meet the challenge of a dramatically changing demographic: the ever-rising number of children and families in New York City who do not have legal immigration status. This Article examines the complex interplay between immigration issues …
The Revival Of Impeachment As A Partisan Political Weapon, Richard K. Neumann Jr.
The Revival Of Impeachment As A Partisan Political Weapon, Richard K. Neumann Jr.
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
Since 1969, some elements in the Republican Party have been willing to use impeachment - the procedure through which the House of Representatives accuses and then prosecutes a federal official in the Senate with the aim of removing him or her from office - as a partisan political weapon. In 1969, Republican President Richard Nixon's administration built an impeachment case against Justice Abe Fortas and threatened to submit it to the House of Representatives, which Fortas prevented by resigning. In 1970, Nixon's administration tried to do the same thing to Justice William O. Douglas, but was outmaneuvered in the House. …
Domestic Violence As A Crime Of Pattern And Intent: An Alternative Reconceptualization, Alafair Burke
Domestic Violence As A Crime Of Pattern And Intent: An Alternative Reconceptualization, Alafair Burke
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
Social scientists almost universally describe domestic violence as an ongoing pattern of conduct motivated by the batterer's desire for power and control over the victim. The criminal statutes used to prosecute domestic violence, however, almost universally describe discrete acts of conduct, without reference to the actor's motivation or other acts of conduct. Although some scholars have questioned the fit between domestic violence and the criminal statutes used to prosecute it, previously only Professor Deborah Tuerkheimer has called for a reconceptualization of the crime of domestic violence to fill the gap. This Article seeks to build on Professor Tuerkheimer's work by …

Learning From Iraq: Counterinsurgency In American Strategy, Steven Metz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
While the involvement of the United States in counterinsurgency has a long history, it had faded in importance in the years following the end of the Cold War. When American forces first confronted it in Iraq, they were not fully prepared. Since then, the U.S. military and other government agencies have expended much effort to refine their counterinsurgency capabilities. But have they done enough?

A Divided America? Examining The Polarization Of The Electorate From 1974 To 2004, Liz Chandler '07
A Divided America? Examining The Polarization Of The Electorate From 1974 To 2004, Liz Chandler '07
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
To what extent are Americans divided in terms of their liberal and conservative preferences? Have their opinions become more polarized over time? Much of the recent literature on voter polarization suggests that there are far fewer moderate voters in the United States today compared to in the recent past, and that the country is in the midst of a massive “culture war” between liberals and conservatives. By examining public opinion polls taken from the 1970s until today, this analysis finds that in contrast to the suggestions that these authors make in regards to voter polarization, American voters have not steadily …
Explaining Compliance With International Agreements Against The Trafficking Of Children, Allison A. Bannerman '07
Explaining Compliance With International Agreements Against The Trafficking Of Children, Allison A. Bannerman '07
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
The sexual exploitation of children is detrimental to the physical and emotional health and development of the children and undermines the development and growth of nations. Since 1989 the international community has taken serious legislative steps to attempt to eliminate child sex trafficking. However, despite nearly universal ratification of international conventions on the topic, the sexual exploitation of children continues. The literature that addresses regime compliance suggests two general explanations for the lack of follow-through among signatory countries: a lack of capacity (both political and economic) and cultural proximity. This paper will examine the validity of each of these categories …
Bipolar Disorder, Disclosure, And Their Effects On Employment Opportunities, Melissa B. Finch '07
Bipolar Disorder, Disclosure, And Their Effects On Employment Opportunities, Melissa B. Finch '07
Honors Projects
People with psychological disorders often experience stigma and discrimination, which can impact their ability to gain and maintain employment (Goldberg, Killeen, & O'Day, 2005). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of disclosure of a severe mental disorder (bipolar disorder) on employers' reactions. In addition, the study assessed the impact of diversity education on employers hiring recommendations for persons with severe mental disabilities. Participants listened to an interview of a student job applicant in one of three conditions (no disclosure, implicit disclosure, or explicit disclosure.) They rated the applicant on personal characteristics and likeability, as well as …
Reducing Hiv Stigma: A Common Group Identity Perspective, Heather Deutsch '07
Reducing Hiv Stigma: A Common Group Identity Perspective, Heather Deutsch '07
Honors Projects
The HIV/AIDS epidemic affects many individuals worldwide. Coupled with this epidemic is stigma levied against infected individuals. HIV stigma involves feelings of repulsion, discomfort, blaming, and sanctions. I attempted to combat HIV stigma by targeting emotional, motivational, and behavioral underpinnings in an intervention video. In this video, I manipulated: 1) whether the intervention speaker shared a group membership (IWU affiliation) with the audience and 2) the speaker's HIV status. I hypothesized that, when the speaker was affiliated with IWU and was HIV-positive, stigma would be reduced. Seventy-one lWU students watched the intervention video, and then I assessed participants' HIV-related implicit …
Reactions To Ostracism And Their Predictors, Kelly J. Sanderson '07
Reactions To Ostracism And Their Predictors, Kelly J. Sanderson '07
Honors Projects
This study was conducted to examine how individual differences in personality predict variance in reactions to ostracism, and to explore the effects of re-inclusion on ostracism reactions. Participants completed five personality measures before the ostracism was delivered in a chat-room paradigm. The chat-room consisted of phases during which participants were included, excluded, and re-included in the discussion, and enjoyment and participation were measured after each chat-room phase. Enjoyment and participation decreased during exclusion and increased during re-inclusion. Throughout all phases of the chat-room, enjoyment and participation were positively correlated with social competence and negatively correlated with loneliness and social isolation. …

Social Ostracism And The Effect On Electroencephalogram Waves, Genevieve Nehrt '07
Honors Projects
Twenty one female Illinois Wesleyan students participated in an experiment examining changes in brain activity following social ostracism in a chat-room environment. More specifically theta EEG activity was recorded from three frontal areas (the Fz, F3, and F4 sites) and theta power and frequency were compared during three phases: inclusion, exclusion, and re-inclusion. The social ostracism paradigm was successful in creating a feeling of exclusion in participants. Participants had a lower level of interest, participation, and enjoyment during the exclusion phase than the inclusion and re-inclusion phases. Participants also typed fewer lines during the exclusion phase than in the other …
Counterfactual Thinking And The False Belief Task: A Developmental Study, Frederique Arreckx
Counterfactual Thinking And The False Belief Task: A Developmental Study, Frederique Arreckx
School of Psychology Theses
The main aim of this thesis was to investigate children's reasoning abilities, especially their ability to solve counterfactual tasks. This thesis studied counterfactual thinking as an independent ability but also in relation to both types of the false belief tasks that measure theory of mind and contrary-to-fact syllogisms. Four experiments were conducted with typically developing children between the ages of 3 to 5. The first experiment studied the difference between affirmative and negative counterfactual questions and found that the former was easier than the latter. The second experiment replicated these results and investigated the link between counterfactual thinking and the …
Dynamics And Divergences In Electromagnetic Backgrounds, Paul Jameson
Dynamics And Divergences In Electromagnetic Backgrounds, Paul Jameson
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
This thesis investigates the behaviour of a charge which is subjected to either an electromagnetic background created by a laser or a background which is hidden behind the resolution limitations of accelerator experiments. When a charge interacts with an intense laser beam its dynamics changes. The resulting trajectory of a non-relativistic particle is solved in this thesis without having to employ the dipole approximation. Many fundamental features of this trajectory are analysed including the drift velocity and the appearance of higher harmonic oscillations. In contrast, the interaction between a charge and an unobserved electromagnetic background leads to the infrared catastrophe. …

Reinventing A Level 7 Programme In Electrical Engineering And Greatly Improving On Student Retention, Eugene Coyle, Mike Murphy, Frank Costello, Leslie Shoemaker
Books/Book chapters
Following the successful implementation over a number of decades of a three-year Diploma in Electrical and Control Engineering at Technological University Dublin, the programme entered a period of extreme difficulty and uncertainty in the late nineteen ninetees and early years of the new millennium. As with many such engineering programmes, student numbers seeking to enter began to diminish. Furthermore, engagement and retention of students who had enrolled on the programme became evermore challenging, necessitating some radical moves in the formation and operation of the programme and in putting additional student support mechanisms in place. The situation hit rock bottom between …
Growing Research In A Traditionally Teaching-Oriented College, Mike Murphy, Michael Dyrenfurth
Growing Research In A Traditionally Teaching-Oriented College, Mike Murphy, Michael Dyrenfurth
Conference papers
There is increasing pressure on universities to contribute to ‘the knowledge society’ by increasing the level of research activity and output within the university. This is particularly true in the sciences, engineering and technology. This increased pressure applies equally to traditionally teaching-oriented colleges (TTOC), although not at the same scale as research-intensive universities. For the TTOC, given the primacy of teaching, this paper discusses the nexus between teaching and research and the question ‘why do research?’ is addressed within the overarching goal of embedding a research culture within the college. Initiatives to develop and grow sustainable research activity in traditionally …

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with decreased hippocampal volume, but the relationship between trauma and brain morphology in the absence of PTSD is less clear. In this study, measures of brain integrity were determined by estimating gray and white matter regional brain volumes using structural magnetic resonance imaging in six patients with PTSD and in five controls with comparable trauma exposure but without clinical evidence of PTSD. The only statistically significant volume difference between groups was observed multivariately in the white matter of the right temporal lobe (superior temporal gyrus, fusiform gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, white-matter stem, middle temporal gyrus, …
A Novel Wideband Semi-Planar Miniaturized Antenna, Giuseppe Ruvio, Max Ammann
A Novel Wideband Semi-Planar Miniaturized Antenna, Giuseppe Ruvio, Max Ammann
Articles
A semi-planar miniaturized antenna which operates over the FCC allocated UWB spectrum is presented. The small antenna comprises a folded conducting element connected to a printed section. Several solutions are introduced which create different current paths increasing the effective dimensions of the antenna. The antenna is examined for the stand-alone case and for the antenna mounted in various locations on a larger handset-type groundplane. The impedance and radiation characteristics show a relative independence of the groundplane size and the antenna location on it. The proposed antenna is a valuable candidate for handset applications due to its compactness. The proposed antenna …

Macrobending Fiber Loss Filter, Ratiometric Wavelength Measurement And Application, Qian Wang, Ginu Rajan, Gerald Farrell, Pengfei Wang, Yuliya Semenova, Thomas Freir
Articles
A macrobending standard single-mode fibre (SMF28) is optimized as an edge filter, with the optimal bending radius and length determined according to the bend loss and polarization sensitivity of the bending fibre. An all-fibre ratiometric wavelength system is built and calibrated. The system's accuracy and resolution is discussed with the influence of noise of input signal and photodetectors. Finally, the ratiometric system is employed for the demodulation of FBG strain sensing.

Quantum Dot Energy Relaxation Mediated By Plasmon Emission In Doped Covalent Semiconductor Heterostructures, A. V. Fedorov, Anna Baranov, I. D. Rukhlenko, T. S. Perova, Kevin Berwick
Articles
The interaction between interface plasmons within a doped substrate and quantum dot electrons or holes has been theoretically studied in double heterostructures based on covalent semiconductors. The interface plasmon modes, the corresponding dispersion relationship, and the intraband carrier relaxation rate in quantum dots are reported. We find the critical points in the interface plasmon density of states for multilayered structures results in enhanced quantum dot intraband carrier relaxation when compared to that for a single heterostructure. A detailed discussion is made of the relaxation rate and the spectral position dependencies on the quantum dot layer thickness as well as on …
Design Of Compact Multi-Band Ebg Structures, Xiulong Bao, Max Ammann
Design Of Compact Multi-Band Ebg Structures, Xiulong Bao, Max Ammann
Conference papers
Several novel compact multiple-band high-impedance surface EBG structures are presented. By utilizing four S-shape corrugated arms or spiral arms connected to the edge of a small square patch to increase the inductance, the resonant frequency of the EBG structure can be significantly reduced. In order to broaden the width of the stopband and adjust the ratio of the centre frequencies for multi-band EBG a log periodic distance between the S-shape strips is implemented. The effects of the parameters of the EBG structure on the width of stopbands are discussed in detail. The results show that the proposed novel EBG structure …

Investigation On Proximity-Coupled Microstrip Integrated Pv Antenna, Maria Roo Ons, S. Shynu, Max Ammann, Sarah Mccormack, Brian Norton
Conference papers
The use of polycrystalline silicon solar cells (156 times156 mm) as a groundplane for a proximity-coupled microstrip square patch antenna (30 times 30 mm) is investigated. Four different models that arise from the different possible positions of the cell with respect to patch, were simulated, fabricated and compared to an ideal PEC ground plane antenna of the same size. It was found that the use of the solar cell as ground plane is feasible, yielding similar impedance bandwidth (around 4%, 3.5% for the PEC) with reasonable gain. The feasibility of using poly-crystalline solar cells as a ground plane, instead of …
Printed Band-Rejection Uwb Antenna With H-Shaped Slot, Xiulong Bao, Max Ammann
Printed Band-Rejection Uwb Antenna With H-Shaped Slot, Xiulong Bao, Max Ammann
Conference papers
The development of the high data rate wireless communication systems, has placed significant demands on antenna designers, in particular, the requirement for smaller elements with broader bandwidths. In this paper, a novel UWB antenna with notch-band frequency is studied. Effects of the various parameters for antenna performances are also discussed. An optimized compact UWB antenna with notch-frequency function is fabricated and experimentally examined. The measured results show the proposed UWB antenna can achieve a return loss greater than 10 db over an ultrawide bandwidth, of 9.8 GHz, from 2.97 GHz to 12.77 GHz with a tunable notch-frequency band of 5.15 …
