Redemption And Resistance: Lessons In Non-Violent Action From Early Aotearoa/New Zealand, Ian Macduff Nov 2010

Redemption And Resistance: Lessons In Non-Violent Action From Early Aotearoa/New Zealand, Ian Macduff

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article provides a brief account of the non-violent resistance of two Maori chiefs, Te Whiti and Tohu, in 19th century New Zealand. Each example of such non-violent or passive resistance is unique to its historical and cultural context; but at the same time there is a tangible common ground between this example and those found elsewhere, such as Martin Luther King and Gandhi. This article will also draw a link between the politics of acts of resistance – in this case, resistance to the forceful acquisition of Maori land – and faith-based justifications. In conclusion, it will be suggested …

Economics Of Sedimentation Management In Large Reservoirs, Biswo Poudel Nov 2010

Economics Of Sedimentation Management In Large Reservoirs, Biswo Poudel

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

This paper develops a model of sedimentation management in reservoirs. It contributes to the existing literature on the topic in different ways. The model is set in stochastic setting and is rich enough to accommodate the study of different contingencies such as weather fluctuations, regulation changes due to global warming or other events that causes change in public perception regarding large reservoirs. More over, this model also uses a new numerical method to solve nonlinear optimization equation that in some cases is faster than existing models and requires less computation. Such nonlinear differential equations appear naturally in sediment management problems. …

The Role Of Emotions In Fieldwork: A Self-Study Of Family Research In A Corrections Setting, Joyce A. Arditti, Karen S. Joest, Jennifer Lamber-Shute, Latanya Walker

The Qualitative Report

In this study, we document a reflexive process via bracketing techniques and the development of a conceptual map in order to better understand how emotions that arise in the field can inform research design, implementation, and results. We conducted a content analysis of field notes written by a team of researchers who administered an interview to caregivers bringing children to visit an incarcerated family member at a local jail. Our self-examination revealed themes around the team's discomfort connected to the institutional jail setting and intense emotions regarding the life situations of study participants, their treatment by jail staff, and our …


Fluoride-Promoted Ligand Exchange In Diaryliodonium Salts, Bijia Wang, Ronald Cerny, Shriharsha Uppaluri, Jayson J. Kempinger, Stephen G. Dimagno Nov 2010

Fluoride-Promoted Ligand Exchange In Diaryliodonium Salts, Bijia Wang, Ronald Cerny, Shriharsha Uppaluri, Jayson J. Kempinger, Stephen G. Dimagno

Stephen DiMagno Papers

Diaryliodonium salts are shown to undergo rapid, fluoride-promoted aryl exchange reactions at room temperature in acetonitrile. Aryl exchange is shown to be exquisitely sensitive to the concentration of fluoride ion in solution; fast exchange is observed as the fluoride concentration approaches a stoichiometric amount at 50 mM substrate concentration. The reaction is slowed, but not halted if benzene is the solvent, indicating that free fluoride ion or a four-coordinate anionic I(III) species may be responsible for the exchange. The fluoride-promoted aryl exchange reaction is general and allows direct measurement of the relative stabilities of diaryliodonium salts featuring different aryl substituents. …
