Strategies For Institutional Repository Development: A Case Study Of Three Evolving Initiatives, Carole L. Palmer, Lauren C. Teffeau, Mark P. Newton Jan 2008

Strategies For Institutional Repository Development: A Case Study Of Three Evolving Initiatives, Carole L. Palmer, Lauren C. Teffeau, Mark P. Newton

Libraries Research Publications

As an evolving part of the profession of librarianship, institutional repository development is still in the process of establishing guiding principles and best practices. There is no one path to follow and few established cases from which to learn about development options and risks. This case study presents a close examination of the approaches taken at three university libraries, comparing choices, strategies, and conditions driving development activities. The most pronounced differences stem from how the initiatives are balancing content acquisition and service provision. Across cases, intellectual property concerns are prevalent, and repository goals and policies are often implicit, with the …


Experimental And Computational Study Of Area And Perimeter Contributions To Radiometer Forces, N P. Selden, S F. Gimelshein, E P. Muntz, Alina A. Alexeenko, A D. Ketsdever Jan 2008

Experimental And Computational Study Of Area And Perimeter Contributions To Radiometer Forces, N P. Selden, S F. Gimelshein, E P. Muntz, Alina A. Alexeenko, A D. Ketsdever

School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Faculty Publications

The relative contribution to the radiometric force of the area and perimeter of the vane is studied experimentally and numerically. Experimentally, a circular vane, a low-aspect rectangular vane, and a high-aspect rectangular vane were all tested on a force balance, with nano-Newton resolution, placed in a stagnant gas. The computational results were obtained through 2-D simulations using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method, as well as a discrete ordinate solution of the ES model kinetic equation. Gas pressure was varied from 0.006 to 6 Pa, which was a broad enough range to observe the characteristic peak force production of a …

Reducing Estate And Trust Litigation Through Disclosure, In Terrorem Clauses, Mediation And Arbitration, Jonathan G. Blattmachr Jan 2008

Reducing Estate And Trust Litigation Through Disclosure, In Terrorem Clauses, Mediation And Arbitration, Jonathan G. Blattmachr

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Article discusses how litigation relating to the administration of estates and trusts might be reduced through by careful planning prior to the property owner's transfer of wealth during lifetime or at death. As the article details, litigation involving trust and estate matters often involves an emotional element not present in most other legally disputed matters. That also suggests that methods to reduce the risk of such litigation occurring may be unique to such matters. In Part 1, certain background matters relating to the climate for such litigation are presented. In Part 2, the historic "tool" of a disinheritance clause …


Adr - Appropriate Disaster Recovery, Michael Tsur Jan 2008

Adr - Appropriate Disaster Recovery, Michael Tsur

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The legal system may be as old as society itself. Since the dawn of civilization, man has incorporated law and judgment as primary tools to help regulate both civil and criminal aspects of social life. Both ancient and modern societies are often historically evaluated by the structure and quality of their legislative and judicial systems. People seem to have been caught in dispute ever since they began living together and effective dispute resolution was necessary for fundamental social structure and order.

Adr And Collective Trauma: Constructing The Forum For The Traumatic Fuss, Michal Alberstein Jan 2008

Adr And Collective Trauma: Constructing The Forum For The Traumatic Fuss, Michal Alberstein

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This paper explores the notion of collective trauma and discusses the implications of its theoretical underpinnings in two Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) practices. First, it offers the use of the Narrative Mediation model to construct a method to deal with collective trauma, as it affects individuals. Narrative Mediation is presented as the most comprehensive and transformative tool to address collective trauma. Second, an ADR approach to collective trauma is offered in cases where no mediation is possible. The concept of "fitting the forum to the fuss," which is a fundamental organizing mechanism in the ADR field, is applied in this …


What's A Cross-Cultural Mediator To Do? A Low-Context Solution For A High-Context Problem, John Barkai Jan 2008

What's A Cross-Cultural Mediator To Do? A Low-Context Solution For A High-Context Problem, John Barkai

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article will explore issues facing mediators in cross-cultural conflicts, offer suggestions for conducting cross-cultural mediations, and propose a template of factors that mediators should consider when assisting parties in cross-cultural mediation. The factors will come largely from research by social scientists and anthropologists, particularly Edward T. Hall and Geert Hofstede.

Technology Mediated Dispute Resolution Can Improve The Registry Of Interpreters For The Deaf Ethical Practices System: The Deaf Community Is Well Prepared And Can Lead By Example, David Allen Larson, Paula Gajewski Mickelson

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article examines the mediation process within the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf Ethical Practices System and suggests when and how technology may be utilized to enhance that process. Background information regarding the interpreting profession, the Deaf Community, and the process for filing and reviewing grievances will provide a context for this discussion. An overview of the technologies already being used within the Deaf Community and interpreting field will help to determine where new technologies can be introduced most effectively. Each of the three steps in the EPS will be analyzed to assess how additional technologies can be integrated …


Denial As A Security Concept, Taner Akcam Jan 2008

Denial As A Security Concept, Taner Akcam

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

If I were to explain the Turkish state's denial of the Armenian Genocide in one word, I would suggest the term continuity, both in the sense of lasting perceptions of the problem and in the persistent makeup of the Turkish ruling elite. On this occasion, I will discuss the continuity of Turkish state denial in the first sense of the word.


Understanding Indigenous Dispute Resolution Processes And Western Alternative Dispute Resolution: Cultivating Culturally Appropriate Methods In Lieu Of Litigation, Carlo Osi Jan 2008

Understanding Indigenous Dispute Resolution Processes And Western Alternative Dispute Resolution: Cultivating Culturally Appropriate Methods In Lieu Of Litigation, Carlo Osi

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article specifically focuses on Indigenous Dispute Resolution, Western-inspired ADR mechanisms, and Indigenized Western ADR as culturally appropriate methods to resolve disputes in lieu of litigation. This article will also focus on how these processes are able to help solve intellectual property rights disputes involving Indigenous communities. Generally, this article will describe how successful all three modes of dispute resolution have been in Indigenous conflict resolution, in the quest for benefit-sharing agreements, and the potential for their use in other controversies. This article proposes the adoption of an Indigenized Western ADR approach on issues surrounding intellectual property rights regimes.


Use Of Palm Trees As A Sleeping Site By Hamadryas Baboons In Ethiopia, Amy Schreier, Larissa Swedell Jan 2008

Use Of Palm Trees As A Sleeping Site By Hamadryas Baboons In Ethiopia, Amy Schreier, Larissa Swedell

Publications and Research

Hamadryas baboons sleep on cliffs throughout their range, and this can be attributed to the safety cliffs provide against predators in the absence of tall trees. In this paper, we report the first documented occurrence of hamadryas baboons sleeping in doum palm trees rather than on cliffs. Data derive from a study of hamadryas baboons at the Filoha site in lowland Ethiopia. During all-day follows, data were collected on travel patterns, band activity, and location. Variation in the baboons’ home range was characterized using vegetation transects. We discovered that one band in this population, Band 3, occasionally slept in doum …

Great (And Reasonable) Expectations: Fourth Amendment Protection For Attorney-Client Communications, Teri J. Dobbins Jan 2008

Great (And Reasonable) Expectations: Fourth Amendment Protection For Attorney-Client Communications, Teri J. Dobbins

Seattle University Law Review

Most motor vehicle crashes are traceable to “some failure of judgment that fully reveals its dangers only when it is too late. That is precisely why they are accidents.” For example, speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to vehicular crashes. Although especially deadly when combined with driver intoxication, speeding is a significant contributing factor in fatal crashes involving sober drivers. Part II of this Article briefly discusses the development of accident insurance. It examines courts' struggles in determining whether an insured's death was an accident for purposes of awarding accidental death benefits, and approaches to resolving this …
