Women’S Water, Women’S Work: Evaluating Decentralized Management Of Deep Borehole Wells For Improved Rural Water Access In Tawa Fall Village, Senegal, Tenly Elizabeth Snow Jan 2013

Women’S Water, Women’S Work: Evaluating Decentralized Management Of Deep Borehole Wells For Improved Rural Water Access In Tawa Fall Village, Senegal, Tenly Elizabeth Snow

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Throughout the developing world, countries face a number of issues regarding the health and welfare of their populations. One issue that stands out with critical and growing importance is the availability-and accessibility-of water. Across the Sahel, access to potable water for domestic use, as well as contaminant-free water for agricultural and animal husbandry purposes is of growing concern. This study evaluates Government of Senegal efforts at improving rural water access through public-private operation contracts to manage deep groundwater resources. In West Africa, Senegal currently counts itself among the few Sahelian countries having sufficient freshwater supplies to support its population’s growing …

Getting On Nicely In The Dark: The Perils And Rewards Of Annotating Ulysses, Barbara Nelson Jan 2013

Getting On Nicely In The Dark: The Perils And Rewards Of Annotating Ulysses, Barbara Nelson

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

The problem of how to provide useful contextual and extra-textual information to readers of Ulysses has vexed Joyceans for years. The debate has generated lively and opinionated discussions in print and at Joyce meetings, forums and listservs. On one side are scholars who argue for scaled-down annotations that present only basic information as simply as possible, minimizing the amount of interpretation involved. On the other side are the actual first-time readers, struggling to make sense of Joyce’s complex, highly allusive text, and willing to accept help wherever it may be found. The work of annotation is both complicated and enriched …

The Damage Done, Kelly Beth Conde Jan 2013

The Damage Done, Kelly Beth Conde

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Conde, Kelly, M.A., Spring 2013 Journalism The Damage Done Chairperson: Dennis Swibold The water that ran from Helen Ricker’s faucet stank of rotten eggs and of chemicals. It ran orange and greasy. It stained her clothes and clung to her skin. Ricker lives on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, three miles north of Poplar, Mont. From Ricker’s home, the oil wells from the East Poplar oilfields can be seen in the distance. Her water started to change in the early 1970’s, twenty years after the first oil well was drilled. It took about that long for the contamination from poorly …

A Philosophy Of Hope And A Landscape Of Principle: The Legacy Of David Getches's Federal Indian Law Scholarship, Rebecca Tsosie Jan 2013

A Philosophy Of Hope And A Landscape Of Principle: The Legacy Of David Getches's Federal Indian Law Scholarship, Rebecca Tsosie

University of Colorado Law Review

In this essay, Professor Tsosie documents two important aspects of David Getches's work in the field of federal Indian law. First, Professor Tsosie observes that David Getches was a strong proponent of guiding principles and a consistent structure in the law. Consequently, he was one of the first scholars to observe the ways in which the contemporary Supreme Court was "remapping" the field of federal Indian law, apparently in service of the Court's commitment to states' rights and the protection of mainstream values. David noted the dangers of this "subjectivist" approach and urged a return to the foundational principles of …

Law Clinics And Lobbying Restrictions, Kevin Barry, Marcy Karin Jan 2013

Law Clinics And Lobbying Restrictions, Kevin Barry, Marcy Karin

University of Colorado Law Review

"Can law school clinics lobby?" This question has plagued professors for decades but has gone unanswered, until now. This Article situates law school clinics within the labyrinthine law of lobbying restrictions and concludes that clinics may indeed lobby. For ethical, pedagogical, and, ultimately, practical reasons, it is critical that professors who teach in clinics understand these restrictions. This Article offers advice to professors and students on safely navigating this complicated terrain.

Production Of Bio-Jet Fuel From Microalgae, Marian Elmoraghy Jan 2013

Production Of Bio-Jet Fuel From Microalgae, Marian Elmoraghy

Master's Theses and Capstones

The increase in petroleum-based aviation fuel consumption, the decrease in petroleum resources, the fluctuation of the crude oil price, the increase in greenhouse gas emission and the need for energy security are motivating the development of an alternate jet fuel. Bio-jet fuel has to be a drop in fuel, technically and economically feasible, environmentally friendly, greener than jet fuel, produced locally and low gallon per Btu. Bic jet fuel has been produced by blending petro-based jet fuel with microalgae biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester, or simply FAME). Indoor microalgae growth, lipids extraction and transetrification to biodiesel are energy and fresh …

All’S Well That Ends Well: The Importance Of Full And Effective Closure In Attorney-Client Relationships, Gail E. Silverstein Jan 2013

All’S Well That Ends Well: The Importance Of Full And Effective Closure In Attorney-Client Relationships, Gail E. Silverstein

Faculty Scholarship

This Article addresses a subject that has not received serious academic attention in law or in clinical scholarship: how lawyers should end their relationships with clients. As human beings, we intuitively understand the importance of endings in relationships, and lawyer-client relationships often impact both the lawyer and the client. Despite the amount of attention paid to other aspects of client interviewing and counseling, such as how to conduct an effective initial client interview, there is relatively little literature on how to achieve effective closure. This Article draws on research from the therapeutic professional field about how to effectively end professional …

The Problem Of Ordination: Lessons From Early Christian History, Darius Jankiewicz Jan 2013

The Problem Of Ordination: Lessons From Early Christian History, Darius Jankiewicz

Faculty Publications

Like most modern Christian denominations, Seventh-­‐day Adventists acknowledge the pastoral call through the rite of ordination. We have also adopted the three-­‐fold structure of ministry in the church— pastor, elder, and deacon—each initiated by a separate rite of laying-­‐on-­‐of-­‐hands and each referred to as ordination. The lack of unambiguous Scriptural data, however, has resulted in a decades-long intradenominational discussion on the meaning of and qualifications for ordination of pastors, elders, and deacons. It is indisputable, and Scripturally warranted, that Christian community needs its authoritative leaders in order to function and propagate its mission in the world, otherwise chaos would reign. …

Looking At The End From The Beginning, Gerald A. Klingbeil Jan 2013

Looking At The End From The Beginning, Gerald A. Klingbeil

Faculty Publications

Eschatology, the study of last things, has been approached mostly from two distinct viewpoints. Some provide a systematic study of the question—as can be seen in systematic theologies of all colors, which predominantly focus upon New Testament texts. Others concentrate on specific books relevant to eschatological teachings—chiefly the apocalyptic literature of the Old Testament (including the Book of Daniel) and the New Testament (as found in the Book of Revelation). The Pentateuch—the first five books of the Bible—is a corpus of literature that has not been studied extensively with this objective. Yet it contains vocabulary of a distinctly eschatological nature.

Sustainability Initiatives In The Workplace And Employee Productivity, Megan R. Nollman Jan 2013

Sustainability Initiatives In The Workplace And Employee Productivity, Megan R. Nollman

Research Papers

Sustainability in the workplace has the potential to affect many aspects of an organization, including employee productivity. Sustainable designers, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) professionals, claim that sustainability has numerous positive impacts in the workplace. These impacts include fewer employee sick days, increased building occupant satisfaction, and increased employee productivity. Researchers that have studied this claim have found that in many cases, sustainable initiatives and buildings have had a slight to profound positive effects on occupant satisfaction, attendance, and productivity. Lower levels of satisfaction for lighting and acoustics are common, though, because many sustainable workplaces use …

Long Run Employment And Income Growth: A By Sector Analysis, Christopher Hooks Jan 2013

Long Run Employment And Income Growth: A By Sector Analysis, Christopher Hooks

Research Papers

Given today’s economic conditions it is becoming more essential to gain a better understanding of long run economic development in the US. This paper seeks to find economic sectors that show a significant impact on employment and income growth. This was done by estimating the elasticities for individual sectors (Manufacturing, Trade, Information, Business Services and Finance, Health and Education, and Other) and using a growth accounting approach to determine the contributions of labor for each. Over the sample period years (2001-11) it was found that business services and finance had the highest contribution to labor growth with an average annual …
