When Fines Don't Go Far Enough: The Failure Of Prison Settlements And Proposals For More Effective Enforcement Methods, Tori Collins

Maine Law Review

The Eighth Amendment’s Punishments Clause provides the basis on which prisoners may bring suit alleging unconstitutional conditions of confinement. Only a small number of these suits are successful. The suits that do survive typically end in a settlement in which prison authorities agree to address the unconstitutional conditions. However, settlements such as these are easily flouted for two primary reasons: prison authorities are not personally held liable when settlements are broken, and prisoners largely lack the political and practical leverage to self-advocate beyond the courtroom. Because of this, unconstitutional prison conditions may linger for years after prison authorities have agreed …

The Case For Second Chances: A Pathway To Decarceration In Maine, Catherine Besteman, Leo Hylton

Maine Law Review

The Article argues that Maine incarcerates too many people, for too long, for too many things, at too great of an expense. We offer evidence to support this claim, briefly review some of the criminal legal legislation that shaped our present reality, and show how recent efforts at reform have been, at best, only modestly successful. In concert with a growing number of expert voices across the country calling for strategies of decarceration, our goal is to demonstrate the need for second chance legislation in Maine in the form of the reinstatement of parole, an effective clemency process, a far-reaching …

System And Method For Automating Payments Using Milestone Payment Program, Sandeep Tharoor, Hunny Huria

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure discloses a method and system for delineating various significant milestones stages and automate the process of remunerating Merchants upon the successful completion of each milestone. Further, the present disclosure addresses prevalent challenges associated with upfront payments for extended-duration services, like house renovation payments or when subscribing to annual memberships for clubs or fitness centres. Customers lacks confidence as the service providers compromise quality for money being paid by the customers. Specifically, to address and overcome these challenges, the present disclosure proposes a method and system of attaching milestone to a card-based payment instruction which enhances trust and …

Testing For Antenna-Interface Effects During System-On-Chip (Soc) Integration, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A bottleneck in system-on-chip (SoC) development is the lengthy run times needed to identify process antenna errors between the partitions of the SoC. This disclosure describes techniques that leverage limited net extraction to rapidly identify and eliminate process antenna errors in SoCs. The hierarchies of a SoC are individually tested for process antenna effects by promoting below-top-level ports of the hierarchy and by subjecting just the promoted ports to extraction and process antenna testing. Process antenna effects at ports between partitions and within partitions are tested separately. Since the number of ports and the sizes of the partitions are relatively …

Systolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure Thresholds Predictive Of Dyspnea On Stress Doppler Echocardiography In Mitral Stenosis, Saléha Lehachi, Fadila Daimellah, Saida Khelil, Zakia Bennoui, Djohar Hannoun, Youcef Laid, Rachid Mechmeche, Mohand Said Issad

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Background. On Stress Doppler Echocardiography (SDE) in mitral stenosis, the systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) threshold at peak exercise recommended by the guidelines as an indication for percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) used to be 60 mmHg. However, because of the paucity of studies, that threshold has been controversial. The Europeans stopped using the value in 2007, followed by the Americans in 2014.

Objective. Determine SPAP thresholds on SDE at peak exercise and post-exercise predictive of dyspnea as an indication for PMC in mitral stenosis.

Method and results. Three hundred mitral stenosis patients with a mitral valve area (MVA) ≤ 2 …

An Empirical Investigation Of Online Grocery Shopping Behaviors Based On Different Generations, Jung-Im Seo

Faculty Publications

The Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted on consumers’ grocery shopping habits and lifestyles. Online grocery shopping is one of the promising ways to have little contact as well as increase convenience. For this reason, the sales and revenues of online grocery shopping have been dramatically increasing during the pandemic. The purpose of this study to explore online grocery shopping behaviors of different generations and their shopping intentions toward online grocery shopping during and after the pandemic. Data were collected from Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and Southeast region in U.S.A with convenience sample. All Generations know that online grocery …

Semi-Decentralized Inference In Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks For Traffic Demand Forecasting: An Edge-Computing Approach, Mahmoud Nazzal, Abdallah Khreishah, Joyoung Lee, Shaahin Angizi, Ala Al-Fuqaha, Mohsen Guizani

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Prediction of taxi service demand and supply is essential for improving customer experience and provider's profit. Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs), modeling city areas as nodes in a transportation graph, have been shown efficient for this application as they utilize both local node features and the graph structure in the prediction. Still, further improvement can be achieved by either simultaneously exploiting different types of nodes/edges in the graphs or enlarging the scale of the transportation graph. However, both alternatives are challenged by the scalability of GNNs. An immediate remedy to the scalability challenge is to decentralize the GNN operation. In …
