Development And Evaluation Of A Flexible Framework For The Design Of Autonomous Classifier Systems, Priya Ganapathy
Development And Evaluation Of A Flexible Framework For The Design Of Autonomous Classifier Systems, Priya Ganapathy
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
We have established a modular virtual framework to design accurate, robust, efficient and cost-conscious autonomous target/object detection systems. Developed primarily for image-based detection problems, such as automatic target detection or computer-aided diagnosis, our approach is equally suitable for non-image-based pattern recognition problems. The framework features six modules: 1) the detection algorithm module accepts two-dimensional, spatially-coded sensor outputs; 2) the evaluation module uses our receiver operator characteristic (ROC)-like assessment tool to evaluate and fine-tune algorithm outputs; 3) the fusion module compares outputs combined under various fusion schemes; 4) the classifier selection module exploits the double-fault diversity measure (F2 DM) to identify …

Navigating The Gaze: Young People's Intimate Knowledge With Surveilled Spaces At School, Patricia Krueger
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The 1980s introduced numerous state and federal policies that created a similar ideology of discipline and punishment in the educational system and the criminal justice system, a phenomenon known today as the school-to-prison pipeline. Several critical elements are involved in the production and maintenance of the school-to-prison pipeline, such as zero tolerance regulations, surveillance technologies, and strengthened in-school discipline practices. In this dissertation I argue that these elements of the pipeline maintain a strong presence and occupy the physical spaces of public schools. Moreover, surveillance cameras and police officers are most often installed in the cities' most under-resourced public schools, …
The Outsourcing Of National Defense, Christopher Weimar
The Outsourcing Of National Defense, Christopher Weimar
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The outsourcing of military activities and services has grown dramatically in recent decades. My objective is to understand and explain this phenomenon at work in the United States Department of Defense (DoD) using theoretical frameworks of strategic efficiency, political ideology and organizational theory factors. This study seeks to answer the question, why has the DOD outsourced support activities and functions that contribute to larger national security objectives and were traditionally performed by DoD personnel? I'll use a case-study methodology to examine outsourcing in the DoD between 1970 and 2005, to include an in-depth look at the information technology (IT) networks …

The Gendering Of Vulnerability And Protection Needs: Iraqi Male Refugees, Karin Fernandez
The Gendering Of Vulnerability And Protection Needs: Iraqi Male Refugees, Karin Fernandez
Theses and Dissertations
Refugees pass through various stages from preflight, flight to post flight. It is argued that refugees as a whole - regardless of gender, race or ethnicity - should be considered vulnerable due to their actual or fear of persecution, but this is not always the case. This thesis looks at the ways in which the interpretation of “vulnerability” in the principles and practice of humanitarian aid in the refugee regime is affecting male Iraqi refugees seeking protection, resettlement and rehabilitation. As part of the evidence for this argument, the thesis examines gender differentials in the death rates and levels of …

Targeting Enemy Forces In The War On Terror: Preserving Civilian Immunity, Richard D. Rosen
Targeting Enemy Forces In The War On Terror: Preserving Civilian Immunity, Richard D. Rosen
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the interpretation given to it by many in the international community (e.g., UN, NGOs, media) provide perverse incentives to terrorist and insurgent groups to shield their military activities behind civilians and their property. In other words, the law governing targeting is fundamentally defective; it allows terrorist and insurgent groups to gain strategic and tactical advantages through their own noncompliance with the law and their adversaries' observance of it. The consequence has been increasing noncompliance with the law and growing civilian casualties. This Article proposes structural changes to the law governing targeting …
The Crisis Of International Law, Rafael Domingo
The Crisis Of International Law, Rafael Domingo
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article delves into the reasons for the current crisis in the traditional international law system, considering how the system developed through the centuries in order to respond to the needs and circumstances of past historical epochs, as well as how the system is no longer capable of meeting the unique developments and needs of life in the Third Millennium. The Article considers the fundamental problems of a state-based system of international law that--rather than focusing on the prime actor and focus of the law, the human person, and his inherent dignity--concentrates on and gives enormous power to the artificial …
After Iraq: The Search For A Sustainable National Security Strategy, Colin S. Gray Dr.
After Iraq: The Search For A Sustainable National Security Strategy, Colin S. Gray Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
A sustainable national security strategy is feasible only when directed by a sustainable national security policy. In the absence of policy guidance, strategy will be meaningless. The only policy that meets both the mandates of American culture and the challenges of the outside world is one that seeks to lead the necessary mission of guarding and advancing world order. The author considers and rejects a policy that would encourage the emergence of a multipolar structure to global politics. He argues that multipolarity not only would fail to maintain order, it would also promote conflict among the inevitably rival great powers. …

For the first time in scholarly literature, this article traces the history of modern international law from the perspective of the constructivist theory of international relations. Constructivism is one of the leadings schools of thought in international relations today. This theory posits that state preferences emerge from social construction and that state interests are evolving rather than fixed. Constructivism further argues that international norms have a life cycle composed of three stages: norm emergence, norm acceptance (or "norm cascades"), and norm internalization. As such, constructivism treats international law as a dynamic process in which "norm entrepreneurs" interact with state actors …
Rwandan Genocide: Taking Notes From The Holocaust Reparations Movement, Yael Weitz
Rwandan Genocide: Taking Notes From The Holocaust Reparations Movement, Yael Weitz
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the failure to provide adequate reparations to rape victims of the Rwandan genocide, drawing parallels with the Holocaust reparations movement. It argues that while international law has advanced in recognizing rape as a grave crime, the existing mechanisms, such as the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), have failed to deliver reparations. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is proposed as a potential solution, despite jurisdictional limitations, through cooperation with the ICTR to address the urgent needs of Rwandan rape victims.

The Triumph Of Confucianism: How A Subjugated Legal System Is Failing A Generation Of Chinese Women And Girls, Yufan Stephanie Wang
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the resurgence of Confucianism in China's legal system, arguing that it undermines gender equality and fails to protect the rights of women and girls despite economic reforms. It highlights how traditional Confucian values, emphasizing morality and social hierarchy, have persisted and influenced laws, leading to the subjugation of women in both legal and societal contexts.
Understanding Generalist Function, F. Matthew Mihelic
Understanding Generalist Function, F. Matthew Mihelic
Faculty Publications
A major concern in dealing with multi-agent complex adaptive systems is the understanding of how such systems build order in the midst of an otherwise chaotic universe. The ordering principles of such systems that are found at the biological level can be applied to better understanding human organizations, and can also be used to develop or modify highly complex intelligent agent software systems for greater efficacy. This paper describes the theoretical mechanism of how huge multi-agent complex adaptive systems overcome the exponential increases in entropy that would otherwise cause system collapse, through the use of agents that function to maintain …

The Bush Administration's Decision To Invade Iraq: Did They Fall Victim To Groupthink?, Joel Nantais
The Bush Administration's Decision To Invade Iraq: Did They Fall Victim To Groupthink?, Joel Nantais
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the George W. Bush administration became victims of groupthink when they made the policy decision to invade Iraq in 2003. Groupthink is a policy-making model which was first put forward by Irving Janis which attempts to explain how experienced and elite policy-makers can make decisions which lead to disastrous outcomes due to conditions which cause defective decision-making. Research was conducted through a qualitative, within case study which was made possible through the inherent process tracing method of the groupthink model. Mainly secondary sources which detailed the historical case of the decision …
The Future Of Securitization, Steven L. Schwarcz
The Future Of Securitization, Steven L. Schwarcz
Faculty Scholarship
Securitization, a process in which firms can raise low-cost financing by efficiently allocating asset risks with investor appetite for risk, has been one of the most dominant and fastest-growing means of capital formation in the United States and the world. The subprime financial crisis, however, has revealed certain defects with how securitization is sometimes utilized. This article examines these defects and the extent they can, and should, be remedied going forward.

Balancing Necessity And Individual Rights In The Fight Against Transnational Terrorism: 'Targeted Killings' And International Law, Karinne Lantz
Balancing Necessity And Individual Rights In The Fight Against Transnational Terrorism: 'Targeted Killings' And International Law, Karinne Lantz
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
This article explores the restraints international human rights law and international humanitarian law place on a State’s use of lethal force against suspected terrorists. Although the law restricts the ability to target suspected terrorists, it is argued that these limits should be respected in order to protect innocent civilians from undue harm. Under IHRL, it is argued that the right to life as a peremptory norm restricts extra-territorial targeted attacks of suspected terrorists. Accordingly, such action should only be considered lawful when it is necessary to protect the State’s population from a known threat and lesser force would not suffice. …

Political Piety: Evangelicals And The American Revolution In South Carolina And Georgia, David E. Hollingsworth
University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations
The study of southern evangelicals during the late colonial and revolutionary eras of American history has focused primarily on the social antagonisms that separated evangelicals from southern elites and has concluded that the rapid growth of post-war evangelicalism came as a result of evangelical acquiescence to southern gentry mores. Most study of southern evangelicals has concentrated on the upper South missing important developments in the Deep South which contradict historical assumptions of Separate triumph and the subsequent subversion of radical evangelicalism by evangelical leaders eager for societal acceptance. Evangelicals were not a monolithic movement. Key doctrines, primarily the need for …

When Human Experimentation Is Criminal, Song Richardson
When Human Experimentation Is Criminal, Song Richardson
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
Medical researchers engaged in human experimentation commit criminal acts seemingly without consequence. Whereas other actors who violate bodily integrity and autonomy are routinely penalized with convictions for assault, fraud, and homicide, researchers escape criminal punishment. This Article begins to scrutinize this undercriminalization phenomenon and provides a framework for understanding why researchers are not prosecuted for their crimes. It argues that their exalted social status, combined with the perceived social benefit of their research, immunizes them from use of the criminal sanction. Whether these constitute sufficient grounds to give researchers a pass from punishment is a significant question because the state's …
