Golden Rule Reasoning, Moral Judgment, And Law, Neil Duxbury

Notre Dame Law Review

This article examines “Golden Rule reasoning” — reasoning according to the principle that we should treat others as we would have them treat us — as a basis for moral action and as a criterion for assessing the moral quality and implications of judicial decisions, legal rules, and proposals for legal reform. After distinguishing the Golden Rule from other ideas and principles with which it is sometimes associated, I embark upon a defense of the Golden Rule as a principle of fairness. The main approach to defending this principle has been to detach Golden Rule-based behavior from the desires of …

Recent Progress In Acoustic Travel-Time Tomography Of The Atmospheric Surface Layer, Vladimir E. Ostashev, Sergey N. Vecherin, D. Keith Wilson, Astrid Ziemann, George H. Goedecke

United States Army: Publications

Acoustic tomography of the atmospheric surface layer (ASL) is based on measurements of the travel times of sound propagation between sources and receivers which constitute a tomography array. Then, the temperature and wind velocity fields inside the tomographic volume or area are reconstructed using different inverse algorithms. Improved knowledge of these fields is important in many practical applications. Tomography has certain advantages in comparison with currently used instrumentation for measurement of the temperature and wind velocity. In this paper, a short historical overview of acoustic tomography of the atmosphere is presented. The main emphasis is on recent progress in acoustic …

Child Of The Long Take: Alfonso Cuaron's Film Aesthetics In The Shadow Of Globalization, James N. Udden

Interdisciplinary Studies Faculty Publications

Alfonso Cuaron's 2006 film, Children of Men, not only suggests that the economic pressures on contemporary Hollywood directors differ little from those in the studio era, it also suggests that film style in the age of globalization is not as homogenized as many fear. The long take is the most prominent feature in Children of Men, including many which are digitally contrived. Lofty reasons by the filmmakers are given for these long lakes, but there are more pedestrian reasons behind this. Other examples past and present suggest that often the tong take serves the needs of both filmmakers and …

Modeling The Us Corn Market During The Ethanol Boom, Bethany Vittetoe

Undergraduate Economic Review

Using the fact that ethanol first accounted for more than 10% of total corn use and ethanol production surpassed 2 billion gallons annually in 2002, I assert that an ethanol boom began in the United States in 2002. This paper uses both Two Stage Least Squares and Autoregressive time-series models to estimate the corn market in the US during the period of 1980-2007. I find that the ethanol boom caused US corn production in 2007 to be about 3 billion bushels (23%) higher than it would be in the absence of the ethanol industry. The model also suggests that ethanol …

Prey Capture By The Whip Spider Phrynus Marginemaculatus C.L. Koch, Roger D. Santer, Eileen Hebets

Eileen Hebets Publications

Whip spiders (Arachnida, Amblypygi) are little-studied arachnids with enlarged spiny pedipalps and elongated ‘‘antenniform’’ forelegs. These antenniform legs contain at least seven giant sensory neurons with no known behavioral function. Here we use high-speed cinematography to describe the prey capture behavior of the whip spider Phrynus marginemaculatus C.L. Koch 1840, in order to examine how these giant neurons might be involved. When presented with a prey item (a cricket), a whip spider first accurately aims one of its antenniform legs in the prey’s direction. Next, the whip spider orients its body to the prey item and approaches, placing one antenniform …

Tactile Learning By A Whip Spider, Phrynus Marginemaculatus C. L. Koch (Arachnida, Amblypygi), Roger D. Santer, Eileen Hebets

Eileen Hebets Publications

The ability of animals to learn and remember underpins many behavioral actions and can be crucial for survival in certain contexts, for example in finding and recognizing a habitual refuge. The sensory cues that an animal learns in such situations are to an extent determined by its own sensory specializations. Whip spiders (Arachnida, Amblypygi) are nocturnal and possess uniquely specialized sensory systems that include elongated “antenniform” forelegs specialized for use as chemo- and mechanosensory feelers. We tested the tactile learning abilities of the whip spider Phrynus marginemaculatus in a maze learning task with two tactile cues of different texture—one associated …

Pastoralism And Climate Change: Enabling Adaptive Capacity, Magda Nassef, Simon Anderson, Ced Hesse

East Africa

The effects of climate change on the drylands of the Horn of Africa pose particular and difficult policy challenges. The arid nature of the climate together with the poverty levels faced by those people living in the drylands mean that the increasing temperatures, the intensifying rains and the increased frequency of extreme weather events that climate science projects for the region can only exacerbate the problems of development. However, as discussed here, the drylands have under-exploited development potential and the dominant land use system – pastoralism – has unique adaptive characteristics that, together with the right enabling policies, mean that …

Symptomatic Of Excess: Apocalypse In The Novels Of Kurt Vonnegut, Katie Elizabeth Robinson

Masters Theses

The works of Kurt Vonnegut are best known to his readers for their striking comedy and satirical critiques of American society. Vonnegut presents the reader with a terrifyingly recognizable truth concerning America, yet he leaves the reader with laughter instead of feelings of helplessness. Despite Vonnegut's comical way of addressing mankind's shortcomings, he does emphasize real problems in America that demand attention. Vonnegut notes that the darkness of his novels grows "out of frustration," saying, "I think there is so much we can do--things that are cheap--that we're not doing" ("Playboy Interview" 255). Vonnegut's texts explain that if mankind does …

A Study Of Micrornas In Silico And In Vivo: Diagnostic And Therapeutic Applications In Cancer., Scott A Waldman, Andre Terzic

Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Faculty Papers

There is emerging evidence of the production in human tumors of abnormal levels of microRNAs (miRNAs), which have been assigned oncogenic and/or tumor-suppressor functions. While some miRNAs commonly exhibit altered amounts across tumors, more often, different tumor types produce unique patterns of miRNAs, related to their tissue of origin. The role of miRNAs in tumorigenesis underscores their value as mechanism-based therapeutic targets in cancer. Similarly, unique patterns of altered levels of miRNA production provide fingerprints that may serve as molecular biomarkers for tumor diagnosis, classification, prognosis of disease-specific outcomes and prediction of therapeutic responses.
