A Hypothetical Non-Infringing Network: An Examination Of The Efficacy Of Safe Harbor In Section 512(C) Of The Dmca, Cassius Sims

Duke Law & Technology Review

This iBrief will present a hypothetical network that allows dissidents to transfer information outside the watchful eye of an oppressive government. It will argue that because a network operator meets the requirements of the safe harbor of section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the hosts of the network are immune from any vicarious copyright liability.

Computer-Aided Assessment Of Diagnostic Images For Epidemiological Research, Alison G. Abraham, Donald D. Duncan, Stephen J. Gange, Sheila West

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Background: Diagnostic images are often assessed for clinical outcomes using subjective methods, which are limited by the skill of the reviewer. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) algorithms that assist reviewers in their decisions concerning outcomes have been developed to increase sensitivity and specificity in the clinical setting. However, these systems have not been well utilized in research settings to improve the measurement of clinical endpoints. Reductions in bias through their use could have important implications for etiologic research. Methods: Using the example of cortical cataract detection, we developed an algorithm for assisting a reviewer in evaluating digital images for the presence and …

Egg Eviction Imposes A Recoverable Cost Of Virulence In Chicks Of A Brood Parasite, Michael G. Anderson, Csaba Moskát, Miklós Bán, Tomáš Grim, Phillip Cassey, Mark E. Hauber

Publications and Research

Background Chicks of virulent brood parasitic birds eliminate their nestmates and avoid costly competition for foster parental care. Yet, efforts to evict nest contents by the blind and naked common cuckoo Cuculus canorus hatchling are counterintuitive as both adult parasites and large older cuckoo chicks appear to be better suited to tossing the eggs and young of the foster parents. Methodology/Principal Findings Here we show experimentally that egg tossing imposed a recoverable growth cost of mass gain in common cuckoo chicks during the nestling period in nests of great reed warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus hosts. Growth rates of skeletal traits and …

Portrayal Of Characters With Disabilities In Newbery Books, Melissa Leininger

Theses and Dissertations

Newbery books represent quality literature that is likely to be used for bibliotherapy, yet these books have not been systematically evaluated for their portrayal of characters with disabilities. Thirty Newbery Award and Honor books from 1975–2008 were identified that contained 40 characters with disabilities. These books were evaluated using a rating scale that combines literary standards and standards relating to individuals with disabilities. The types of disabilities and personal characteristics such as gender, age, and race were documented and the personal portrayal of characters with disabilities and exemplary practices in these books were evaluated. This information was compared to the …

Denitration In Colonic Smooth Muscle, Seemab Malick

Theses and Dissertations

Tyrosine nitration results in altered function of smooth muscle voltage-gated L-type calcium channel. We explored the possibility that smooth muscle contains denitrase activity to allow functional recovery of the calcium channel without requiring synthesis of new channel proteins. Following peroxynitrite treatment of mouse colonic smooth muscle strips, CaCl2 (1 mM)-induced smooth muscle contraction was significantly reduced by 67% (P ≤ 0.05), which reversed by approximately 86% upon periodic washing within 2 hr period (P ≤ 0.001). The effect of the c-Src kinase inhibitor, PP2, on muscle contraction was also restored after 2 hr post-peroxynitrite treatment consistent with the thesis that …
