Improving Water Distribution Network Data Extraction From Rawgpr Images With Multi-Agent Techniques And Machine Learning, Gemma Stanton, David Ayala-Cabrera Jul 2022

Improving Water Distribution Network Data Extraction From Rawgpr Images With Multi-Agent Techniques And Machine Learning, Gemma Stanton, David Ayala-Cabrera

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Concerns around climate change, disaster resilience, and digitization underscore the importance of reliable and affordable information about critical infrastructure such as water distribution networks (WDNs) in order to prevent/mitigate potential negative effects. For instance, lack of data from WDNs enables problems such as leaks to persist undetected. While manual and destructive detection methods exist to monitor the health of WDNs (e.g., impact echo, laser scan, among others), these methods lack the power to provide comprehensive data for continuous modelling, operation, assessment, and maintenance. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) offers one non-destructive testing method that is inexpensive and easily operable; however, the …

The History Of Hurry: A Historical Reflection On John Mark Comer's The Ruthless Elimination Of Hurry, Maren Schettler Jul 2022

The History Of Hurry: A Historical Reflection On John Mark Comer's The Ruthless Elimination Of Hurry, Maren Schettler

Floodwall Magazine

The Gladys Boen Scholarship is awarded “for the best short story, poem or collection of poems, or essay submitted by an undergraduate currently enrolled in the university.” The Creative Writing Scholarship Committee had this to say on Maren Schettler’s “The History of Hurry”: “With its fragmented form and its melding of criticism with the personal essay, Maren Schettler’s essay enacts the very principle defended in her essay’s argument: that we must slow down, resist the urge to hurry, and break free from the rule of clocks and calendars.”

The Importance Of An Adr Program For The Effective Enforcement Of International Human Rights Under The Free Trade Agreement Hope Ii Between The United States And Haiti, Garrick Apollon

Florida Journal of International Law

The purpose of this Article is to highlight the importance of a mandatory Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program and the creation of a U.N. arbitral tribunal for the effective enforcement of international human rights under HOPE II. This Article examines the legal barriers to the development of the Rule of Law and international human rights in Haiti.

In light of this approach, this Article will first discuss the main historical factors associated …

Processes, Standards, And Politics: Drafting Short Titles In The Westminster Parliament, Scottish Parliament, And U.S. Congress, Brian Christopher Jones Jul 2022

Processes, Standards, And Politics: Drafting Short Titles In The Westminster Parliament, Scottish Parliament, And U.S. Congress, Brian Christopher Jones

Florida Journal of International Law

The main focus of this Article is to explore the differences between legislatures in terms of short titles, and why there is such a transatlantic divide. Specifically, I want to address how the U.K. Parliament and the U.S. Congress, steeped in such history and both employing a common language, now produce such radically different titles for their laws. Additionally, the Scottish Parliament is included as a contemporary example of a recent formed parliament, and is used to juxtapose the findings from the other two legislatures. First, this Article takes into consideration some of the main constitutional differences between legislatures. Then, …

Florida Journal of International Law

In this Article, I will review the characteristics of human rights NGOs and their evolving role within the existing international and regional human rights mechanisms, and further, the way in which they have worked together for better human rights practices and the establishment of RHRIs in the Asian region. Then, I will examine the role of human rights NGOs in strengthening human rights protection systems at the national level, especially in cooperation with NHRIs. Lastly, I will discuss the process of establishing NHRIs in selected Asian countries and more specifically, how human rights NGOs have influenced this process.

Women Meet The State: Protection For Domestic Workers In The United States, Adriana M. Paris Jul 2022

Women Meet The State: Protection For Domestic Workers In The United States, Adriana M. Paris

Florida Journal of International Law

This Note focuses on the lack of protection for domestic workers in the United States, this issue calls for international attention. Large numbers of domestic workers leave their home countries for various reasons such as favorable migration policies, lack of work, and a general lack of independence back home. Certain countries like the Philippines and Guatemala are known as “sender” countries because of the huge amount of domestic workers originating from them. In other countries such as Indonesia and Sri Lanka, women make up 60-80% of all migrants. In fact, between 1960 and 2005, an additional sixty million females migrated …

Article 3 Of Interpol's Constitution: Balancing International Police Cooperation With The Prohibition On Engaging In Political, Military, Religious, Or Racial Activities, Yaron Gottlieb Jul 2022

Article 3 Of Interpol's Constitution: Balancing International Police Cooperation With The Prohibition On Engaging In Political, Military, Religious, Or Racial Activities, Yaron Gottlieb

Florida Journal of International Law

This Article aims to analyze the developments concerning the application of Article 3, and the various considerations pertinent to its interpretation. While Article 3 applies to all INTERPOL activities, in practice it has been particularly relevant to INTERPOL’s activities in two domains: first, in the field of processing of information related to police work via INTERPOL’s channels; and secondly, in the context of cooperation with other international entities. This Article will therefore focus on the application of Article 3 and the different tests applied in these two domains.

Traditional Military Activities In Cyberspace: Preparing For "Netwar", Paul A. Walker Jul 2022

Traditional Military Activities In Cyberspace: Preparing For "Netwar", Paul A. Walker

Florida Journal of International Law

This Article argues that the military’s decision to conduct action against the CIA and Saudi-monitored website was well within the norms of traditional military activity. Because the action occurred during the course of an armed conflict against al Qaeda, there would also be no need to acknowledge such an action when it was directed by a military commander. This Article explores the array of traditional military activities that may occur in the Internet and other information environments without triggering covert action reporting requirements through the prism of a historical examination of two types of military activity that contribute to the …

Taking Risks Ethically, John D. Haskell Jul 2022

Taking Risks Ethically, John D. Haskell

Florida Journal of International Law

In this Article, I have adopted a two-fold approach to these challenges. First, I want to briefly think about some common “illusions” that may restrict our ability to cope with the violence and paranoia that haunts our horizons. My suspicion is that too often we see ourselves in the role of architects, embroiled in debates over the structural aspects of civil society at home and global governance abroad. In this sense, I want to suggest that it is not our institutions or ideological underpinnings that stifle our efforts, but something more intimate, something about our most cherished conceptions of our …

Navigating The "Series Of Rocks": Applying The Lessons From The Material Support Bar To Include Duress, De Minimis, And Age Of Consent Exceptions To The Persecutor Bar, Frank M. Walsh Jul 2022

Navigating The "Series Of Rocks": Applying The Lessons From The Material Support Bar To Include Duress, De Minimis, And Age Of Consent Exceptions To The Persecutor Bar, Frank M. Walsh

Florida Journal of International Law

This Article argues that the BIA, in solving the persecutor bar problem assigned by the Supreme Court, should learn from the controversy over the material support bar. Like the material support bar, the persecutor bar is a well-intentioned restriction to exclude those individuals who do not deserve asylum relief. Like the material support bar, the persecutor failed to include an explicit duress or de minimis exception. Therefore, like the material support bar, the persecutor bar should allow for both duress and de minimis exceptions even though there is no explicit mention of those defenses in the statute. Part II of …

Definitely Maybe: The Outlook For U.S. Relations With The International Criminal Court During The Obama Administration, Stephen Eliot Smith Jul 2022

Definitely Maybe: The Outlook For U.S. Relations With The International Criminal Court During The Obama Administration, Stephen Eliot Smith

Florida Journal of International Law

The purpose of this Article is to evaluate the prospect of change under the Obama administration in one specific area of American foreign policy: the relationship between the United States and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Part II provides a very brief introduction to the jurisdiction and international legal status of the ICC, a court that is still unfamiliar to the majority of Americans. The history of the strained relationship between the United States and the ICC is summarized in Part III. The longest section in this article, Part IV, examines the major American objections to the ICC, and includes …

The Effectiveness Of Pandemic Preparations: Legal Lessons From The 2009 Influenza Epidemic, Bradly J. Condon, Tapen Sinha Jul 2022

The Effectiveness Of Pandemic Preparations: Legal Lessons From The 2009 Influenza Epidemic, Bradly J. Condon, Tapen Sinha

Florida Journal of International Law

This Article is organized as follows. We first consider the problems that the IHR (2005) were meant to resolve, such as the need for rapid reporting of outbreaks, the related need to minimize disproportionate travel and trade restrictions in response to outbreaks and the need for international leadership to coordinate the global response. We then analyze how the IHR (2005) are designed to achieve this end and how effective a tool the IHR (2005) proved to be during the 2009 influenza outbreak. We also consider the WHO guidelines for communicating with the public during a pandemic and assess the effectiveness …

Legal Ramifications Of The War In Gaza, Johan D. Van Der Vyver Jul 2022

Legal Ramifications Of The War In Gaza, Johan D. Van Der Vyver

Florida Journal of International Law

The purpose of this Article is to highlight the major rules of international (humanitarian) law that have been implicated by the war in Gaza. Needless to say, when applying those rules of law to the empirical facts, and indeed in attempting to evaluate the claims and disclaimers on both sides of the offensive, the issues at stake are extremely complicated. Nor perhaps is the one-sided and almost exclusive condemnation of the Israeli offensive entirely warranted; that is, if the militant actions of Hamas is measured, objectively, against the applicable rules of international humanitarian law.
