Lateral Wall Protein Content Mediates Alterations In Cochlear Outer Hair Cell Mechanics Before And After Hearing Onset, Heather Jensen Smith, Richard Hallworth Jan 2007

Lateral Wall Protein Content Mediates Alterations In Cochlear Outer Hair Cell Mechanics Before And After Hearing Onset, Heather Jensen Smith, Richard Hallworth

Journal Articles: Eppley Institute

Specialized outer hair cells (OHCs) housed within the mammalian cochlea exhibit active, nonlinear, mechanical responses to auditory stimulation termed electromotility. The extraordinary frequency resolution capacity of the cochlea requires an exquisitely equilibrated mechanical system of sensory and supporting cells. OHC electromotile length change, stiffness, and force generation are responsible for a 100-fold increase in hearing sensitivity by augmenting vibrational input to non-motile sensory inner hair cells. Characterization of OHC mechanics is crucial for understanding and ultimately preventing permanent functional deficits due to overstimulation or as a consequence of various cochlear pathologies. The OHCs' major structural assembly is a highly-specialized lateral …

Market Fragmenting Regulation - Why Gasoline Costs So Much (And Why It's Going To Cost More), Andrew P. Morriss, Nathaniel Stewart Jan 2007

Market Fragmenting Regulation - Why Gasoline Costs So Much (And Why It's Going To Cost More), Andrew P. Morriss, Nathaniel Stewart

Faculty Scholarship

Virtually everyone holds an opinion on what is wrong with gasoline markets. Some critics argue that gasoline costs too much, fattening greedy oil barons at the expense of consumers. Some link reducing oil producers' profits to stopping terrorism. Others contend that gasoline costs too little, subsidizing suburban sprawl and gas-guzzling SUVs at the expense of the environment. Web sites track gasoline prices and grocery stores sell low-cost fuel to lure shoppers. Policy makers debate whether gas taxes should be cut to lower the cost of living; need to be increased to make drivers pay the full cost of their behavior; …


Project Camelot And Military Sponsorship Of Social Science Research: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Ryan Hunt Jan 2007

Project Camelot And Military Sponsorship Of Social Science Research: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Ryan Hunt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

"Project Camelot" was an ambitious social science research project conceived and funded by the Army, one whose scope and level of funding was unprecedented as of its inception in 1964. It was created in order to examine the potential for "internal war" and insurgency in the "developing countries" of the world, and to identify actions that the U.S. and its allies could take to prevent or suppress such insurgencies. Historians have described the Project as an event of particular importance in the history of American social science, and have argued that it is related to significant changes in their structure …


Self-Forgiveness: A Narrative Phenomenological Study, John Beiter Jan 2007

Self-Forgiveness: A Narrative Phenomenological Study, John Beiter

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation critically explored both theoretical and research findings pertaining to self-forgiveness, especially as it related to psychology. An important, though rather apparent finding or conclusion derived from this literature review was that there is an astounding paucity of both theoretical and research work about self-forgiveness within psychology. This lack or shortcoming holds, surprisingly, even in those disciplines perhaps associated more intuitively with self-forgiveness, for example theological and religious studies, and philosophy. Moreover, a contamination, conflation, or supplementarity characterized the relationship between forgiveness and self-forgiveness, such that no clear consensus exists with respect to the distinctions or similarities between those …


Blackthink's™ Acting White Stigma In Education And How It Fosters Academic Paralysis In Black Youth, Kimberly Jade Norwood Jan 2007

Blackthink's™ Acting White Stigma In Education And How It Fosters Academic Paralysis In Black Youth, Kimberly Jade Norwood

Scholarship@WashULaw

Black students who attend school regularly, participate in the classroom experience — by either participating in class and/or turning in homework, take “AP” classes, and who perform well on tests are, not uncommonly, accused of “acting white.” This happened to me as a child, it has happened to my children and it has happened to black youth I have interviewed throughout the country. This Article explores the practice within the black community of blacks who attack — verbally and sometimes physically — other blacks simply because the latter perform well in school. The Article explores the ironies of this attack …


Normativity In The "New" Schools: Assessing The Legitimacy Of International Legal Norms Created By Domestic Courts, Melissa A. Waters Jan 2007

Normativity In The "New" Schools: Assessing The Legitimacy Of International Legal Norms Created By Domestic Courts, Melissa A. Waters

Scholarship@WashULaw

One of the great legacies of the New Haven School was its early recognition of the tremendous dynamism and complexity of the international lawmaking process. Its proponents wisely rejected both Austinian positivism and the traditional conception of "law" as a dichotomy of "national" and "international" legal rules. Instead, the policy-oriented jurisprudence of the New Haven School recognized and embraced the interactivity of a multiplicity of decisionmakers in shaping the international legal regime. Moreover, in defining law as an iterative process of authoritative decisionmaking, the New Haven School recognized that authoritative decisions need not necessarily come from official bodies such as …

Social Impact: Scattered Image, Rick Skwiot Jan 2007

Social Impact: Scattered Image, Rick Skwiot

Social Impact Publication

Most inside the social work profession agree that it has an image problem, which affects recruitment, pay, status, funding, and social influence. But they often disagree on who is a social worker, what the term "social work" means, whether to re-brand or scrap the term, who ought to do it, and what the image problem really is. Whatever it may be, it causes at least one social work school dean to worry "a lot" and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) to launch a multi-year campaign to change the image.

Social Impact: Perspectives With Luis H. Zayas: A Closer Look At Immigration, Betsy Rogers Jan 2007

Social Impact: Perspectives With Luis H. Zayas: A Closer Look At Immigration, Betsy Rogers

Social Impact Publication

Immigration reform took center stage last spring as hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Latin America and elsewhere filled American streets to protest proposed legislation widely seen as harsh and punitive. The immigrants' numbers and fervor took many by surprise, but Luis Zayas, the Shanti K. Khinduka Distinguished Professor of Social Work and professor of psychiatry at the School of Medicine, finds nothing historically unusual in today's migrations.

Introduction Symposium: Nonprofit Law, Economic Challenges, And The Future Of Charities: Introduction, Linda Sugin Jan 2007

Introduction Symposium: Nonprofit Law, Economic Challenges, And The Future Of Charities: Introduction, Linda Sugin

Faculty Scholarship

This Symposium grew out of what I see as the public/private conundrum facing the nonprofit community and the law governing it. Nonprofit organizations are being called upon to better resemble for-profit organizations in a variety of ways. Those calls come from different sources-from donors increasingly interested in results that can be understood in terms parallel to bottom-line assessments to which businesses are accustomed, from cuts in government funding and increased programming that make nonprofits add more businesslike activities to finance their work, and from increasing numbers of for-profit competitors who have been able to mobilize technology and marketing to succeed …


Mythos, Logos And The Poltics Of Justice, Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery Ph.D. Jan 2007

Mythos, Logos And The Poltics Of Justice, Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery Ph.D.

Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice

United States Politics and Social Justice are forms that a mythology assumes in a culture. The former has lost sight of its earlier sustaining mythos: an image of Paradise. It has also become unconscious of the earlier writings of Plato and Aristotle on the nature and structure of a virtuous society ruled by leaders of wisdom. By revisioning earlier epistemologies outlined by the ancient Greek philosophers, politics and social justice movements can reclaim their origins. The conclusion outlines a series of 13 differentiations between US. politics and the currents of social justice. For men are easily spoilt; not everyone can …


An Examination Of Social Justice And U.S Politics Among Mexican Americans: The Role Of Education In Political Participation, Mark S. Teachout Ph.D, Andrea E. Berndt Ph.D., Andrew C. Hernandez Jan 2007

An Examination Of Social Justice And U.S Politics Among Mexican Americans: The Role Of Education In Political Participation, Mark S. Teachout Ph.D, Andrea E. Berndt Ph.D., Andrew C. Hernandez

Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and behaviors of Mexican Americans toward social justice issues in a political context, as a function of educational attainment. Based on the premise set forth by Boakari (2006), we expected those with a higher level of educational attainment would reflect both perceptions and behaviors that represent a more socially aware and participative citizen within a political context. Results were significant for all analyses, indicating that participants with a higher level of educational attainment had perceptions and self-reported behaviors more congruent with social justice issues in a political context, compared to …


Religion And The Electability Of Presidential Candidates, Dr. Philip E. Lampe Ph.D. Jan 2007

Religion And The Electability Of Presidential Candidates, Dr. Philip E. Lampe Ph.D.

Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice

Denominationalism appears to be an important factor in American politics, particularly in presidential elections. Evidence indicates there are, and has always been, favored and disfavored denominations. One such disfavored denomination is Catholicism. Although it is the largest denomination in the United States, there has been only one Catholic president. Until the 2004 election, whenever a Catholic was in the presidential race, anti-Catholic rhetoric was commonly employed against him. Fears of papal control and sinister machinations were expressed. The result was religious discrimination which, like all forms of discrimination, eliminates or greatly reduces the right of participation. This is a violation …
