The Balance Of Power In Professional Sports, Barry Zimmerman May 2025

The Balance Of Power In Professional Sports, Barry Zimmerman

Maine Law Review

This note examines the problems of the professional athlete in dealing with the "establishment" in the sports world. The basic framework for analysis lies in the operation of our free enterprise ideas in the practical context of professional sports. The professional athlete suffers from a severe lack of bargaining power in his relationship with management. This bargaining imbalance is inconsistent with the premises of our free enterprise system and must be eliminated if the professional sports world is to avoid a total breakdown in labor-management relations.


Real Property Taxes In Maine And The Impoverished: An Expose?, J. Michael Conley Iii May 2025

Real Property Taxes In Maine And The Impoverished: An Expose?, J. Michael Conley Iii

Maine Law Review

As the clamor for war against poverty increases throughout our society, there are few social and legal spheres that remain unscathed. Congress and the state legislatures have finally begun to show compassion in enacting new laws concerning virtually every social field in an attempt to alleviate the atrocious conditions under which this nation's poor exist. Moreover, the judicial system seems to have gained more awareness of the legal standing of the poor man and has begun to vindicate his once-dormant constitutional and statutory rights. One poverty target that has been hit by both the lawmakers and the courts concerns the …


A Marketable Title Act For Maine, Chadbourn H. Smith May 2025

A Marketable Title Act For Maine, Chadbourn H. Smith

Maine Law Review

Conveyancing procedure in Maine, as in many other states, has become progressively more complex. Under the traditional recording system two elements—an ever-growing labyrinth of land records and the consequent likelihood of a defect in the chain of title—make repetitive, over-meticulous title examinations common, and uncertainty almost inevitable. Both of these elements must be eradicated by effective legislation, redefining and promoting marketability. No longer should landholders be faced with a constant challenge from the past, protection against which is by means of an expensive title report, carefully conditioned and couched in terms of the title-searcher's opinion rather than law. Attorneys should …


Effectuating The Purposes Of Chapter Xiii Of The Bankruptcy Act, John J. Ryan May 2025

Effectuating The Purposes Of Chapter Xiii Of The Bankruptcy Act, John J. Ryan

Maine Law Review

The United States Congress is presently considering a bill sponsored by the National Bankruptcy Conference. This proposal would alter certain sections of chapter XIII of the Bankruptcy Act. Included in the proposed general revision are major changes in two provisions central to the operation of the statute. These provisions, contained in sections 6524 and 614, were originally intended as the mechanisms with which bankruptcy courts were to resolve the basic conflict between the overall purposes of chapter XIII and the rights of secured creditors. As recently as 1969, in Terry v. Colonial Stores Employee's Credit Union of Atlanta, a court …


Complete Liquidation Of The Corporate Subsidiary: The Questions, Some Answers And Some Observations, Frank M. Burke Jr. May 2025

Complete Liquidation Of The Corporate Subsidiary: The Questions, Some Answers And Some Observations, Frank M. Burke Jr.

Maine Law Review

Various sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 have been enacted to influence the economy in one manner or another. During the period from 1930 to 1935, elimination of holding companies was an important topic. Many felt that elimination of holding company structures would at least partially relieve the existing economic depression. At that time the complete liquidation of a corporate subsidiary was treated as a taxable transaction. President Roosevelt urged Congress to create a favorable tax atmosphere for such liquidations to encourage "simplification of our corporate structures through the elimination of unnecessary holding companies in all lines of …


Advantages And Disadvantages—A Comparison Of The Present Maine Law And The U3c, John A. Spanogle Jr. May 2025

Advantages And Disadvantages—A Comparison Of The Present Maine Law And The U3c, John A. Spanogle Jr.

Maine Law Review

The Uniform Consumer Credit Code [U3C] is a statute which will be proposed to the Maine Legislature for enactment in the near future. Like its sister code, the Uniform Commercial Code [UCC], the U3C was drafted and is being supported by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. Their hope is that the widespread acceptance of the UCC will lead to similar acceptance of the U3C. An understanding of the U3C requires an understanding of its drafting history and the motivations of the various pressure groups responsible for its drafting. The drafting history begins with the UCC, which …


Ableism And Museum Art Education: A Qualitative Phenomenological Study Of Museum-Based Visual Studio Art Teachers, Elizabeth W. Buck May 2025

Ableism And Museum Art Education: A Qualitative Phenomenological Study Of Museum-Based Visual Studio Art Teachers, Elizabeth W. Buck

Doctor of Education Program Dissertations

All people, including individuals with disabilities, who participate in hands-on visual art can experience various benefits. However, visual studio art teachers, especially museum-based teachers, have various backgrounds that do not always include education or training in serving individuals with disabilities. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore how museum-based visual studio art teachers perceived that their training and preparation informed their awareness of ableism and ability to serve students with disabilities in art museums in the New England region of the United States. Twelve museum-based, visual studio art teachers participated in this study through semi-structured interviews. Through …

A cruise ship cabin can be outlined using a complex bill of materials, components and sub-assemblies properly interconnected, considering its functional nature as a whole. In this regard, modern scientific achievements have allowed the development of so-called smart materials. The research activity has started with a scoping review of the currently constituent finishing, as well as insulation materials installed on-board. The assessment of smart and high-performance solutions are aimed of optimizing thickness, weight, noise and vibrations parametres. Actual cases under analysis related to finishing materials include performance paints and inks, fabrics with antibacterial and water-repellent properties which, together with a …


The Dynamics Of Human Society Evolution: An Energetics Approach, Ram Chandra Poudel, Jon G. Mcgowan May 2025

The Dynamics Of Human Society Evolution: An Energetics Approach, Ram Chandra Poudel, Jon G. Mcgowan

Seatific Journal

Human society is an open system that evolves by coupling with various known and unknown (energy) fluxes. How do these dynamics unfold precisely? Energetics may provide further insights. We expand on Navier-Stokes’ approach to study non-equilibrium dynamics in a field that evolves over time. Based on social fi eld th eory, an induction of th e cl assical fie ld theories, we define social force, social energy, and the Hamiltonian of an individual in society. The equations for the evolution of an individual and society are sketched out based on the time-dependent Hamiltonian that includes power dynamics. We demonstrate in …

To enhance the accuracy and applicability of predictions of seakeeping characteristics and to find out guidelines for design scope, new metamodels have been developed from an extended database of 57 cases, …


Performance Analyses And Optimization Of A Regenerative Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Cycle With Intercooler And Reheater, Asım Sinan Karakurt, Ibrahim Furkan Ozel, Semih İskenderli May 2025

Performance Analyses And Optimization Of A Regenerative Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Cycle With Intercooler And Reheater, Asım Sinan Karakurt, Ibrahim Furkan Ozel, Semih İskenderli

Seatific Journal

Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power cycles play an important role in energy production as they are more efficient and more compact than conventional energy production systems. Therefore, they are widely used in different systems such as nuclear systems, renewable energy systems, heat recovery systems, fossil power plants, submarines, and some commercial and navy ships that produce a wide range of power operating in different temperature ranges. It has become very popular especially in recent years due to its widespread use and technical capabilities. This study analyses the effects of some design parameters (pressure ratio and temperature ratio) on the performance criteria …

“Crusades Against Bolshevism”?: International Dimensions Of The Russian Civil War In Four Countries, Maxwell R. Markwald May 2025

“Crusades Against Bolshevism”?: International Dimensions Of The Russian Civil War In Four Countries, Maxwell R. Markwald

Student Scholarship

The Russian Civil War (1917-1922), fought between Bolshevik and anti-Bolshevik factions, was one of the most pivotal conflicts of the 20th century. It led directly to the rise of the world’s first socialist state, the Soviet Union, which for decades was at the forefront of the international communist movement and a major global power until its collapse in 1991, around 70 years after its founding. The victory of the Bolsheviks was not always a guaranteed outcome, however. In fact, to an outside observer in February of 1917, it would have appeared one of the less likely. The six months that …


Building Community Through Food And Health: Student Initiatives To Address Food Insecurity In Mississippi, Sarah E. Sawaya May 2025

Building Community Through Food And Health: Student Initiatives To Address Food Insecurity In Mississippi, Sarah E. Sawaya

Honors Theses

This thesis explores food insecurity in Oxford and Lafayette County, Mississippi, within the broader context of state, national, and global challenges. Over a four-year period, student-led and community organizations collaborated to design programs that addressed both food access and chronic illness prevention through education, outreach, and direct service. Community input was gathered through health screenings, campus engagement, and informal interviews with residents, which guided the development of practical tools like recipe kits, QR code-based cookbooks, and on-site health education. These efforts were rooted in local partnerships and shaped by the lived experiences of those most affected. This project demonstrates that …


A Study Of Social And Emotional Learning Provision To Kindergarten Students In A Rural School Through The Lens Of Whole Child Development, Shirley Spiegel May 2025

A Study Of Social And Emotional Learning Provision To Kindergarten Students In A Rural School Through The Lens Of Whole Child Development, Shirley Spiegel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this Improvement Science Project was to take appraisal of a rural school district’s current approach for developing the whole child in kindergarten. Three prominent context-based child development theories serve as the framework for this study in determining if there is evidence in practice for support of whole child development, or if those practices or components of the current practices do not demonstrate clear evidence for whole child development, according to the theoretical framework. Conducted through the lens of these whole child development theories, this study centered on the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) provision to kindergarten students …
