Approximate Regular Modules, Mehdi. S. Abbas, Maha. A. Ali

Baghdad Science Journal

There are two (non-equivalent) generalizations of Von Neuman regular rings to modules; one in the sense of Zelmanowize which is elementwise generalization, and the other in the sense of Fieldhowse. In this work, we introduced and studied the approximately regular modules, as well as many properties and characterizations are considered, also we study the relation between them by using approximately pointwise-projective modules.

Statistical Optimization Of Blanching Time And Temperature Of Irish York Cabbage Using Desirability Function, Amit Jaiswal, Nissreen Abu-Ghannam, Shilpi Gupta

Articles

The effect of different heat treatments, as a means of preprocessing, on the phytochemicals present in Irish York cabbage was studied. A comparison of blanching (by immersing in water) and microwaving (using water as a medium) indicated that microwaving is detrimental to the phytochemicals present in cabbage. To achieve a blanching time and temperature combination that would result in minimal loss of phytochemicals, central composite design that integrates a desirability approach was used. A second-order polynomial equation was developed, indicating the effect of the blanching time and temperature on the total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl …

Implementing And Evaluating The Communities That Care Prevention System In Rural Pennsylvania, Jonathan Olson

Journal of Youth Development

Communities That Care (CTC) is a prevention-planning system that helps community members plan, implement, and evaluate evidence-based prevention strategies that target common behavioral problems among youth. Recent evaluations of the system have indicated promising results. To date, most of these studies have examined broad effects across multiple implementation sites. The purpose of the current study was to determine if such promising results could be replicated in a single rural county that has been implementing the CTC system for more than a decade. The results of this utilization- focused evaluation indicate a variety of positive effects on outcomes among adolescents.

The Law Of Responsibility: A Response To Fragmentation?, Kristen Boon

McGeorge School of Law Global Center for Business and Development Annual Symposium

Moderator:Omar Dajani, Professor of Law, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law

This panel will explore the systemic implications of wider dissemination of human rights norms. One positive consequence is increased attention to – and, perhaps also, protection of – human rights in a range of forums. A negative consequence, however, may be fragmentation in the meaning of human rights norms. What happens when national and international institutions adopt conflicting interpretations of human rights norms? Is fragmentation necessarily problematic or can it serve useful purposes, such as facilitating experimentation with diverse approaches or providing a check on hegemonic ambitions? …

Targeted Killing At A Distance: Robotics And Self-Defense, Wayne Mccormack

McGeorge School of Law Global Center for Business and Development Annual Symposium

Moderator:John Sims, Professor of Law, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law

This panel will focus on the bearing of human rights norms on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in armed conflict situations. The ongoing and rapidly increasing development and deployment of UAVs in situations of armed conflict have arguably outpaced the law in that they are not adequately supported by a dedicated and enforceable regime of international and (trans)national rules, regulations, and standards, including relevant human rights norms. In addressing this issue, the panel will explore the role human rights norms play or should play in …

Panel 6: The Role Of Tort Law In Implementing Human Rights Norms, Ronald Krotoszynski, Adrienne Stone, David Partlett

McGeorge School of Law Global Center for Business and Development Annual Symposium

Moderator: Julie Davies, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law

This panel explores the impact of human rights norms on the law of defamation and privacy. To varying degrees, both civil and common law jurisdictions protect interests in privacy and reputation. The constitutionalization of U.S. defamation and privacy law has changed American tort law dramatically, while the European Convention on Human Rights has influenced the domestic law of many parties to the Convention. This panel will consider human rights norms from theoretical and comparative perspectives by examining their application to …

Expanding Your Accounting Classroom With Digital Video Technology, Mark Holtzblatt, Norbert Tschakert

Business Faculty Publications

In the past, many activities of accounting professors were restricted or confined by their classroom walls. Bringing in guest speakers, taking students on field trips and teaching students off-campus (either locally or globally) were extraordinary efforts that required significant organization. Today, numerous technological advancements in communication infrastructure, equipment and online tools greatly facilitate such initiatives. Outside experts can now visit the classroom, students can explore or collaborate in distant places and professors can extend the geographical reach of their lessons simply via the means of digital video technology. Based on our 2010 Conference on Teaching and Learning in Accounting (CTLA) …
