Foreclosure Purchase By The Equity Of Redemption Holder Or Other Junior Interests: When Should Principles Of Fairness And Morality Trump Normal Priority Rules, The, Grant S. Nelson

Missouri Law Review

The foregoing leads to the major question posed by this paper - when should the logic of mortgage foreclosure law and its priority rules be trumped by an overriding concern for fairness and morality? This question is uniquely suited to a symposium dedicated to Dale Whitman's career as a teacher and scholar. This paper examines this question in two distinct contexts. In Part II of this paper, the focus is on whether the mortgagor or other holder of the equity of redemption 7 who purchases the property at the foreclosure sale of a senior lien acquires a title free and …

Doctrines Of Waste In A Landscape Of Waste, John A. Lovett

Missouri Law Review

While I do not deny that classic waste cases - conflicts between life tenants and future interest holders over alleged instances of voluntary waste - are less common today than they used to be (but perhaps not as uncommon as some might think), my goals in this article are to reawaken readers to the importance of waste doctrine, to suggest that the great days of waste may not be completely in the past, to recommend some new uses for waste cases as teaching tools, and generally to urge a renewed appreciation for waste - an appreciation that Dale Whitman, for …

Tipping Point: Missouri Single Subject Provision, Alexander R. Knoll

Missouri Law Review

The Missouri single subject provision, which requires that each bill enacted by the Missouri Legislature contain a single subject, is one of the great equalizers in backroom politics. Simply put, it is a hurdle that prevents legislators from hijacking the legislative process by attaching an unrelated provision to a proposed bill. This is a practice that many of our Federal legislators find to be a daily occurrence, but one that our state politicians are prevented from doing under the single subject provision of the Missouri Constitution. However, even with the broad prohibition outlined in the single subject provision, for the …

Some Challenges For Legal Pragmatism: A Closer Look At Pragmatic Legal Reasoning, Andrew J. Morris

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article draws on the literature of legal pragmatism to identify distinctive characteristics of pragmatic reasoning. It then conducts a methodical comparison of pragmatic reasoning with more principled reasoning, which the article identifies as reasoning that gives normative force to formal legal reasons. The article conducts this comparison based on five criteria: (1) generality versus contextuality; (2) level of decision costs; (3) effect on rate of true judicial error; (4) effect on predictability; and (5) effect on judicial legitimacy.

Publications (YM)

Earthquake activity in the Yucca Mountain from October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003 (FY03) is assessed and compared with previous activity in the region. FY03 is the first reporting year since the 1992 M 5.6 Little Skull Mountain earthquake with no earthquakes greater than M 3.0 within 65 km of Yucca Mountain. In addition, FY03 includes the fewest number of earthquakes greater than M 2.0 in any reporting year since the LSM event. With 3075 earthquakes in the catalog, FY03 represents the second largest number of earthquakes (second to FY02) since FY96 when digital seismic network operations began. The …

Public Affairs Theses - Archive

Objective. High school students across North Texas are failing to meet the academic standards of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. In response, after-school programs have been implemented to support cognitive and communal development of these at-risk youth. Technology can play a role in after-school by expanding the boundaries of the traditional classroom. This study evaluates the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Technology Center (MLK CTC) After-School Program between August 2006 and July 2007. Methods. Evaluation outcomes are based on the MLK CTC program objectives. The evaluation looks also at educational gains within the program and employs a paired …

High Grade Control Of Linear Induction Motor Drives, Haidong Yu

Electrical Engineering Dissertations - Archive

Linear induction machines (LIM) have been widely utilized in military, transportation, aerospace due to the impressive advantages such as simple configuration, easy maintenance and high acceleration/deceleration. However, the existence of trailing eddy current effect and magnetic asymmetry effect undermines the expected functionality of vector control even though LIM inherent similarities from its rotary counterpart. As a result, it has been a focal research area to either improve the performance of vector control for LIM or develop a new high grade control strategy. Therefore, the in-depth knowledge of electromagnetic behavior of LIM is necessary. From both finite element analysis (FEA) and …

Chemotherapy Related Cognitive Impairment In The Rat, Jessica Boyette Davis

Psychology Theses - Archive

Treatment for cancer has been indicated to negatively impact the quality of life for patients. Specifically, chemotherapy has been associated with fatigue, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy. More recently, chemotherapy has also been found to be related to cognitive impairment in various cognitive domains including working memory, information processing speed, and visual attention. At this time, the mechanisms underlying this impairment are not understood and there is currently no treatment for this condition. The purpose of this study was to model chemotherapy related cognitive impairments using an established test of attention in rats. While receiving the chemotherapeutic agent Taxol, animals were …

Regression Model For Prioritization Of Corridors When Retiming Traffic Signals, Manjari G. Mittal

Civil Engineering Theses - Archive

Traffic signals are used by transportation engineers to safely and efficiently manage vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on roadways. However, to maintain the effectiveness of traffic signals, traffic signals should be adjusted or retimed periodically to match the current traffic patterns. Traffic signal retiming is one of the most cost effective ways available to transportation engineers for reducing delays and mitigating congestion. A region may contain a large number of traffic signals all of which cannot be retimed at once due to limited availability of funds and other resources; only a subset of signals can be retimed at any given …

The Textual Construction Of Femininity In Women's Fitness Magazines, Tracy Lynn Rundstrom Williams

Linguistics & TESOL Dissertations - Archive

Women in the first decade of the 21st century encounter competing ideologies of traditional femininity and empowered femininity. Language, in particular Discourse Analysis, provides a means for investigating what these ideologies, or discourses, are and how they are perpetuated. One source of language which encodes and perpetuates ideologies of femininity is women's magazines. As pervasive, monthly texts directed specifically at women, women's magazines provide a rich source of contemporary ideologies of femininity. Given the rise of health and fitness magazines over the past 20 years, it appears that one primary focus of contemporary femininity is the body. Previous research has …

In One Ear And In The Other: The Net Effect Of Advertising Frequency, Brent Andrew Wiethoff

Communication Theses - Archive

This research used both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to explore the possible effects and functions that advertising may perform in developing individuals' attitudes. Using the Elaboration Likelihood Model (Petty & Cacioppo, 1984) and Cultivation Theory (Gerbner, 1979), advertising is viewed as a frequently repeated, consistent set of messages that reinforce consumer ideas and values. The net effect of advertising is examined through focus group discussion of high-media/high-materialist individuals. Results of the study show four themes emerging from advertising (advertisements as an entrance to participation in culture, advertisements as a landscape, advertisements as validation and legitimacy, and advertisements as need-generators). Discussion …

On Improving Wikipedia Search Using Article Quality, Meiqun Hu, Ee Peng Lim, Aixin Sun, Hady Wirawan Lauw, Ba-Quy Vuong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Wikipedia is presently the largest free-and-open online encyclopedia collaboratively edited and maintained by volunteers. While Wikipedia offers full-text search to its users, the accuracy of its relevance-based search can be compromised by poor quality articles edited by non-experts and inexperienced contributors. In this paper, we propose a framework that re-ranks Wikipedia search results considering article quality. We develop two quality measurement models, namely Basic and PeerReview, to derive article quality based on co-authoring data gathered from articles' edit history. Compared with Wikipedia's full-text search engine, Google and Wikiseek, our experimental results showed that (i) quality-only ranking produced by PeerReview gives …

Private Use As Fair Use: Is It Fair?, Frances Grodzinsky, Maria C. Bottis

School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications

The age of digital technology has introduced new complications into the issues of fair and private use of copyrighted material. In fact, the question of private use of another's work has been transformed from a side issue in intellectual property jurisprudence into the very center of intellectual property discussions about rights and privileges in a networked world. This paper will explore the nuanced difference between fair and private use as articulated in the US and the European Copyright Laws. Part One will explain the legal use and meaning of fair use and its justifications. We maintain that it is almost …

Are They Making An Appropriate Decision? Implications From Bachman's Assessment Use Argument, Yj-Ching Pan

PASAA

Tests do not occur in a vacuum; they have farreaching and unanticipated consequences. Tests have an effect not only on traditional teaching practices in the classroom but also on the broader educational and societal contexts. Examples are the selection of candidates for education, the monitoring of the performance of schools, the distribution of funding and even societal issues such as the selection of employees and candidates for immigration, citizenship and asylum. Given the potential power of tests, it is essential to justify test use and investigate its consequences. The primary goal of this paper is to utilize Bachman's assessment use …
