Phytoremediation Of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (Tphs) Using Plant Species In Iran, Ali Daryabeigi Zand, Gholamreza Nabi Bidhendi, Nasser Mehrdadi

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Plant-based remediation is a relatively new, efficient, and environmentally friendly technology, which can be promising for removing many contaminants like hydrocarbon pollutants. The main objectives of the current study were to investigate the effect of petroleum hydrocarbons with high initial concentration (about 3.5% by weight) on growth characteristics of maize (Zea mays L.), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) as well as to evaluate the phytoremediation potential of the 2 mentioned plant species in highly contaminated, aged soil. In order to improve the condition of soil nutrients and also study the effect of soil amendment on plant growth, peat amendment was …

Insurance Law Between Business Law And Consumer Law, Jeffrey E. Thomas

Faculty Works

The U.S. legal system has multiple and complex regulatory regimes for insurance which combine statutes, administrative regulations and common law rules. Regulation of insurance is predominantly done by the fifty states, and this increases the system’s complexity. The regulatory regimes generally divide the industry, the subject of regulation, from the consumers, which are to be protected, without regard for the status or sophistication of the insurance consumer. This article focuses on the role of insurance law and regulation within the legal system, and in particular the divide between business or commercial insurance and that provided for consumers, more commonly known …

Family Members' Influence On Family Meal Vegetable Choices, Tionni R. Wenrich, J. Lynne Brown, Michelle Miller-Day, Kevin J. Kelley, Eugene J. Lengerich

Communication Faculty Articles and Research

Objective—Characterize the process of family vegetable selection (especially cruciferous, deep orange, and dark green leafy vegetables); demonstrate the usefulness of Exchange Theory (how family norms and past experiences interact with rewards and costs) for interpreting the data.

Setting—Rural Appalachian Pennsylvania.

Participants—61 low-income, married/cohabiting men (n=28) and women (n=33).

Analysis—Thematic analysis within Exchange Theory framework for qualitative data. Descriptive analysis, t-tests and chi-square tests for quantitative data.

Results—Exchange Theory proved useful for understanding that regardless …

An Examination Of The Relationship Between Family And U.S. Latinos’ Physical Health, Georgiana Bostean

Sociology Faculty Articles and Research

Latinos, especially immigrant Latinos, have lower mortality rates and some better health outcomes than U.S.-born Latinos and whites, a situation called the Latino Paradox. One explanation for the advantage is that Latinos’ family orientation protects health. However, because few large-scale studies examine Latinos’ family relationships by nativity, the extent to which family factors contribute to Latinos’ health outcomes is unclear. Additionally, while a large literature focuses on family cohesion, fewer studies address both cohesion and conflict, which may be particularly important among immigrants, whose migration and adaptation experiences can strain family relations. This study examines the relationship between family context …

You're On Your Own, Kid... But You Shouldn't Be, Daniel B. Weddle

Faculty Works

This article addresses the question: Should courts recognize a duty on the part of schools to implement proven strategies to reduce and prevent bullying? Nothing influences the answer to that question as understanding the nature of bullying in schools. Once understood, bullying seems less a rite of passage or builder of character and more like child abuse perpetuated by peers. The realization that many school children suffer such abuse that inflicts long-lasting and severe damage shifts the analysis from whether the problem is serious enough for courts to engage to how they might most effectively engage it. This article addresses …

The Anticipation Misconception, Colin P. Marks

Faculty Works

Many commentators and courts have cited to the Supreme Court decision of Hickman v. Taylor as the genesis of the work product doctrine and the requirement that, to be afforded protection, the material in question must be generated “in anticipation of litigation.” The oft quoted policy justification for the protection afforded is that attorneys should be allowed a “zone of privacy” within which to prepare their case for the client. This justification supports limiting protection only to work generated “in anticipation of litigation,” because, presumably, outside of this context there is no need for the “zone of privacy.” However, a …

Shielding Ohio's Newborns: Defending A Broad Interpretation Of Child Within The Meaning Of O.R.C. Sec. 3113.31, John Hofstetter

Cleveland State Law Review

This note argues that viable fetuses should be viewed as “children” within the meaning of O.R.C. § 3113.31, therefore qualifying them for the protections afforded by civil protection orders. It focuses on the urgent need for such an interpretation based on child safety concerns arising primarily after the birth of the child, rather than those existing while the child is still in utero.

Misplaced Fears In The Legislative Battle Over Affordable Biotech Drugs, David E. Adelman, Christopher M. Holman

Faculty Works

Much like tort reform, the debate over recently enacted legislation on biotech drugs — and particularly regulatory supplements to patent protection — has taken on a significance that dwarfs its impact on prescription drug expenditures. Under the Health Care Reform legislation, Congress enacted two major reforms: First, creation of an abbreviated Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process for follow-on biologics (FOBs), which are the analogues of generics for biotech drugs. Second, establishment of a twelve-year “data exclusivity” period in which clinical testing data collected by brand-name innovators cannot be used by producers of FOBs to satisfy FDA testing requirements. …

Resting Electromyographic Activity Of Deep Thoracic Transversospinalis Muscles Identified As Abnormal With Palpation, Gary Fryer, Michael Bird, Barry Robbins, Christian Fossum, Jane C. Johnson

All KCOM Faculty Publications

Context: In the 1940s, osteopathic researchers suggested that paraspinal tissue abnormality was associated with spontaneous muscle activity, but few studies have since re-examined these reports. Objective: To determine whether abnormal motor activity plays a role in deep paraspinal tissues that appear abnormal to palpation. Methods: Using an observational study design, the PVG of participants with thoracic pain were palpated by two examiners for consensus on the most marked level of tissue abnormality. Dual fine-wire, intramuscular electrodes were inserted into the deep transversospinalis (multifidus, rotatores) muscles at the abnormal level and at two normal sites (above and below the abnormal level). …

Cyclin D1 Amplification In Tongue And Buccal Mucosa Squamous Cell Carcinoma., Haydar M. Mahdey

Student Works (2010-2019)

Introduction Oral cancer is a significant health problem worldwide with almost 300,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Despite the numerous studies done, and even with the best treatment option utilized, more than 50% of patients with oral cancer will experience relapse. In search for better options for prognostication, researches are now focusing on the molecular biology of cancer, for instance in search of reliable tumor markers. Among the markers reported in the literatures, Cyclin D1 is actively studied protein. Cyclin D1 regulates the cell cycle progression by forming a complex with different cyclin dependant kinase. Dysregulation of cyclin D1 …

Strengthening Labor Standards Enforcement Through Partnerships With Workers’ Organizations, Janice Fine, Jennifer Gordon

Faculty Scholarship

Structures of employment in low-wage industries, a diminished wage and hour inspectorate, and an unworkable immigration regime have combined to create an environment where violations of basic workplace laws are everyday occurrences. This article identifies four “logics” of detection and enforcement, arguing that there is a mismatch between the enforcement strategies of most federal and state labor inspectorates and the industries in which noncompliance continues to be a problem. In response, the authors propose augmenting labor inspectorates by giving public interest groups like unions and worker centers a formal, ongoing role in enforcement in low-wage sectors. In three case studies, …

The 2009 Analysis Of Information Remaining On Disks Offered For Sale On The Second Hand Market, Andy Jones, Craig Valli, Glenn S. Dardick, Iain Sutherland, G. Dabibi, Gareth Davies

Australian Digital Forensics Conference

The ever increasing use and reliance upon computers in both the public and private sector has led to enormous numbers of computers being disposed of at the end of their useful life within an organisation. As the cost of computers has dropped, their use in the home has also continued to increase. In most organisations, computers have a relatively short life and are replaced on a regular basis with the result that, if not properly cleansed of data, they are released into the public domain containing data that can be relatively up to date. This problem is exacerbated by the …

Sex In And Out Of Intimacy, Laura A. Rosenbury, Jennifer E. Rothman

Emory Law Journal

This Article challenges the underlying assumption in Lawrence v. Texas that sex is valuable only when potentially in service to emotional intimacy and proposes a new theory for extending legal protection to a wider range of consensual sexual activities. The current regulation of sex devalues both sexual relationships that lack an intimate component and intimate relationships that lack a sexual component. We argue that the state should independently protect both intimate relationships and sexual interactions because sex can constitute a vital part of individual identity and self-expression even when not channeled into intimacy. We challenge the dominant, almost sacred, understanding …

A View From The Cradle: Tort Law And The Private Regulation Of Assisted Reproduction, Michele Goodwin

Emory Law Journal

This Article proposes a paradigm shift. It analyzes the viability of tort law to address the private and costly harms resulting from negligent application of ART. These harms include the intentional and negligent conception of children with significant disabilities. This Article articulates the need for a nuanced approach to tort law in the realm of child–parent conflict—an approach that shifts the social and economic burdens of infant and child harms to parents because they are best situated to avoid the risks of harm. This Article addresses a gap in socio-legal scholarship to unpack when, how, and why tort liability should …

States Of Being: Response Piece, Martha Fineman

Emory Law Journal

Professor Huntington’s exploration of the potentially positive role for emotion and social norms in rethinking the place of the state in family regulation is an important contribution to the field. However, in order to accomplish the ambitious tasks she sets out for herself, I suggest that she should give more attention to clarifying the meaning of key concepts. Elaboration of certain assertions and terms would strengthen her observations and arguments, making both more persuasive. In the following Parts, I raise some key issues and questions regarding the concepts and terms that warrant further development and articulation.

Beauty In The Dark Of Night: The Pleasures Of Form In Criminal Law, Martha Grace Duncan

Emory Law Journal

I neither defend nor prosecute defendants. I am a law professor, and my contact with flesh-and-blood criminals extends only so far as visiting prisons and interviewing convicts for research purposes. Some of the prisoners I’ve interviewed have become my friends; others, my long-term correspondents, through the process of my learning and writing about them. Mostly, though, I work not with criminals but with criminal law—a field I adore. You could say, following Max Weber, that I live for as well as off my chosen field.
