Geography And International Law: Towards A Postcolonial Mapping, Tayyab Mahmud Jan 2007

Geography And International Law: Towards A Postcolonial Mapping, Tayyab Mahmud

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

Postcolonial theory aims at a critical interrogation of legitimizing knowledge claims put forward by proponents of the resurgent Empire. This article undertakes such an interrogation at the intersection of geography and international law. It aims to demonstrate that both modern geography and modern international law were constituted in, by, and through imperatives of Empire and unavoidably bear traces of their formative origin. The aim is to theorize the spatiality of global relations of domination and resistance under the shadow of international law. The article first identifies the vantage point of this critical engagement, namely postcolonial approach to inquiry. It then …

Nondestructive Evaluation Of Rc Structures Strengthened With Frp Laminates Containing Near-Surface Defects In The Form Of Delaminations, Mahmut Ekenel, John J. Myers Jan 2007

Nondestructive Evaluation Of Rc Structures Strengthened With Frp Laminates Containing Near-Surface Defects In The Form Of Delaminations, Mahmut Ekenel, John J. Myers

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being utilized in a wide range of application areas in structural rehabilitations because these materials are less affected by corrosive environmental conditions and known to provide longer life with less maintenance. However, there are still some concerns about FRP strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) structures, such as the presence of near-surface defects. Currently limited data exists regarding this issue. the presence of near-surface defects in the form of delaminations between the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminate and concrete substrate can significantly affect the structural integrity and stiffness of the structural section. These defects should be …

Hedge Fund Regulation: What The Fsa Is Doing Right And Why The Sec Should Follow The Fsa's Lead, Lartease Tiffith Jan 2007

Hedge Fund Regulation: What The Fsa Is Doing Right And Why The Sec Should Follow The Fsa's Lead, Lartease Tiffith

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Recent news about hedge funds' successes and failures, and in some cases outright fraud, has increased the public's interest in a field that often prefers to cloak itself in a hidden veil. One can analogize hedge fund managers and the hedge fund industry to the nostalgic era of cowboys and the wild frontier. Hedge fund managers, like cowboys of the old days, do not want to be regulated. Just as the cowboys entering the frontier appreciated the lack of law or authority over their actions, today's hedge fund managers appreciate the lack of law or authority over their actions. And …


A Finger In The Dike? An Examination Of The Efficacy Of State And Federal Attempts To Use Law To Stem Outsourcing, Beverley Earle, Geralk A. Madek, Christina Madek Jan 2007

A Finger In The Dike? An Examination Of The Efficacy Of State And Federal Attempts To Use Law To Stem Outsourcing, Beverley Earle, Geralk A. Madek, Christina Madek

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Many people, not just in the United States, are concerned about the implications of this growth in outsourcing for the future of business. State governments in particular are trying to stop outsourcing and are using the law as a means to do so. However, are these attempts, which are variants of the old "buy American" programs, doomed to be ineffective and ultimately protectionist, without really protecting American business? This paper will examine the developments of offshoring, outsourcing, and insourcing in Part II. Part III examines both state and federal legal efforts to restrict this growth. Part IV examines the WTO …

Outsourcing Drug Investigations To India: A Comment On U.S., Indian, And International Regulation Of Clinical Trials In Cross-Border Pharmaceutical Research, James Cekola Jan 2007

Outsourcing Drug Investigations To India: A Comment On U.S., Indian, And International Regulation Of Clinical Trials In Cross-Border Pharmaceutical Research, James Cekola

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The traditional research and development model of large pharmaceutical companies is arguably unsustainable in current times. For example, estimated research and development costs increased as much as twelve percent over the last year while pharmaceutical sales grew only seven percent over the same period. Current estimates put the price to develop a new drug and bring it to market between $800 million and $1.5 billion per drug. These costs are increasing, driving large pharmaceutical companies to find more cost-effective research and development models. One cost-saving initiative is to globalize the system. In particular, companies have increasingly outsourced the required investigational …

Non-Horizontal Mergers: A European Perspective, Carles Esteva Mosso Jan 2007

Non-Horizontal Mergers: A European Perspective, Carles Esteva Mosso

Fordham International Law Journal

In the last few years, the assessment of non-horizontal mergers in the European Union (“EU”) has evolved considerably. There is now a consistent body of jurisprudence and administrative decisions on the assessment of vertical and conglomerate concentrations. The goal pursued is consumer welfare; the potential benefits of non-horizontal mergers are recognized and sound economic thinking is relied upon in identifying those instances where such mergers could lead to anti-competitive effects. Several developments have significantly contributed to this evolution. Two judgments of the European Courts have necessarily to be mentioned first: in 2004 the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) established general …

Approaches To Molecular Imprinting On Polysiloxane Scaffolds, Michael Edward Brown Jan 2007

Approaches To Molecular Imprinting On Polysiloxane Scaffolds, Michael Edward Brown

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

Molecular imprinting, a common method used in separations and chromatography to isolate specific molecules via surface binding, has been adapted for applications in biomaterials and related sciences. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of different approaches to molecular imprinting by testing for preferential binding of protein on polysiloxane scaffold surfaces. To test preferential rebinding, the scaffolds were exposed to a mixture of the template protein and a competitor protein with similar size but different chemistry. Lysozyme-imprinted polymers rebound 8.13 0.99% of lysozyme without any competition and 5.1 0.3% of the protein during competition. Lysozyme C peptide …


Nanocontroller Program Optimization Using Ite Dags, Sarojini Priyadarshini Rajachidambaram Jan 2007

Nanocontroller Program Optimization Using Ite Dags, Sarojini Priyadarshini Rajachidambaram

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

Kentucky Architecture nanocontrollers employ a bit-serial SIMD-parallel hardware design to execute MIMD control programs. A MIMD program is transformed into equivalent SIMD code by a process called Meta-State Conversion (MSC), which makes heavy use of enable masking to distinguish which code should be executed by each processing element. Both the bit-serial operations and the enable masking imposed on them are expressed in terms of if-then-else (ITE) operations implemented by a 1-of-2 multiplexor, greatly simplifying the hardware. However, it takes a lot of ITEs to implement even a small program fragment. Traditionally, bit-serial SIMD machines had been programmed by expanding a …


Experimental Evaluation Of Modified Phase Transform For Sound Source Detection, Anand Ramamurthy Jan 2007

Experimental Evaluation Of Modified Phase Transform For Sound Source Detection, Anand Ramamurthy

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

The detection of sound sources with microphone arrays can be enhanced through processing individual microphone signals prior to the delay and sum operation. One method in particular, the Phase Transform (PHAT) has demonstrated improvement in sound source location images, especially in reverberant and noisy environments. Recent work proposed a modification to the PHAT transform that allows varying degrees of spectral whitening through a single parameter, andamp;acirc;, which has shown positive improvement in target detection in simulation results. This work focuses on experimental evaluation of the modified SRP-PHAT algorithm. Performance results are computed from actual experimental setup of an 8-element perimeter …


Finite Element Analysis And Experimental Verification Of Soi Waveguide Losses, Harish Srinivasan Jan 2007

Finite Element Analysis And Experimental Verification Of Soi Waveguide Losses, Harish Srinivasan

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

Bending loss in silicon-on-insulator rib waveguides was calculated using conformal mapping of the curved waveguide to an equivalent straight waveguide. Finite-element analysis with perfectly matched layer boundaries was used to solve the vector wave equation. Transmission loss was experimentally measured as a function of bend radius for several SOI waveguides. Good agreement was found between simulated and measured losses, and this technique was confirmed as a good predictor for loss and for minimum bend radius for efficient design.
