The Interchangeable-Part Structure Of Food And Drug Law, Adam I. Muchmore

Faculty Scholarship

This Article demonstrates that nested tiers of interchangeable parts serve as the foundation for the regulatory programs administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Core interchangeable parts used in FDA-administered programs include product categories, prohibitions on adulteration and misbranding, agency-registration requirements, current good manufacturing practices, product standards, marketing authorization requirements, postmarket requirements, and user fees. In each of these areas, Congress or the FDA has engaged in interchangeable-part lawmaking (IPL). IPL occurs when a government takes a portion of its law in one subject area and uses it as a model for its own law in another subject area. …

613 Sg Llc V. Barnes

All Decisions

In this non-payment case, the tenant moved to dismiss the proceeding on the basis that the rent demand failed to provide a good-faith estimate of arrears. The tenant argued that the landlord “rent jammed” the arrears into the most recent months without crediting approximately $10,000 in payments shown in the ledger. The landlord contended that standard accounting practices permitted it to apply payments to the oldest arrears first. The court rejected that argument, holding that where payments are not earmarked, courts must evaluate the course of dealing and timing of payments. Because the rent demand omitted substantial payments and mischaracterized …

Early Nintedanib Deployment In Covid-19 Interstitial Lung Disease (Endcov-I): Study Protocol Of A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial, Nicole Ng, Michele Cohen, Emilia Bagiella, Stacey-Ann Brown, Ivan O Rosas, Nina M Patel, Amy Olson, Peide Li, Maria Padilla

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Introduction: In December 2019, the novel SARS-CoV-2 triggered a global pneumonia outbreak, leading to millions of deaths worldwide. A subset of survivors faces increased morbidity and mortality, particularly due to subacute lung injury evolving to chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease. While nintedanib, a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, shows promise in treating progressive fibrotic lung disease, limited randomised trial data exists for post-COVID-19-induced lung injury. We hypothesise that treatment with nintedanib may attenuate advancement to the fibrotic stages, offering a potential avenue for improving outcomes in this specific patient subset.

Methods and analysis: We describe the design of a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled …

Crop Water Productivity: Within-Field Spatial Variation In Irrigated Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa L.), Keegan Hammond, Ruth Kerry, Ross Spackman, April Hulet, Bryan G. Hopkins, Matt A. Yost, Neil C. Hanson

Plants, Soils, and Climate Faculty Publications

In this study, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is evaluated for suitability of variable rate irrigation (VRI) by analyzing within-field variation in crop water productivity (CWP) under uniform irrigation. The objectives were to (1) measure within-field variation in crop evapotranspiration (ET), (2) quantify spatial variability of alfalfa biomass yield, and (3) assess whether a bivariate analysis of CWP and yield could inform VRI management zones. Research was conducted on a 22.6 ha center-pivot irrigated alfalfa field near Rexburg, Idaho, USA, over three harvest intervals (HIs) in 2021 and 2022. Using a water balance method at 66 field points, ET exhibited …

A Conversation With Judge Shira Scheindlin, Burt Neuborne & Jeffrey Toobin, Benjamin N. Cardozo School Of Law, Judge Shira Scheindlin, Burt Neuborne, Jeffrey Toobin

2025 Event Invitations

Join us for a discussion on judicial independence and impartiality with Judge Shira Scheindlin, NYU Law Professor Burt Neuborne, and author Jeffrey Toobin. In Floyd v. City of New York (2013), Judge Scheindlin ruled that the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk program was unconstitutional, ordering reforms and oversight. Days later, the Second Circuit reassigned the case, citing concerns about the appearance of impartiality due to her public statements. Professor Neuborne, who objected to her removal in a brief to the court, and Toobin, who covered the case for The New Yorker, will join Judge Scheindlin to examine the implications of this decision and …

Hierarchical Lineage Tracing To Unravel Mechanisms Of Cancer Treatment Resistance, Rachel Danielle Saxe

Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations

Cancer cells adapt to treatment, leading to the emergence of clones that are more aggressive and resistant to anti-cancer therapies. We have a limited understanding of the development of treatment resistance as we lack technologies to map the evolution of cancer under the selective pressure of treatment. To address this, we developed a hierarchical, dynamic lineage tracing method called FLARE (Following Lineage Adaptation and Resistance Evolution). We use this technique to track the progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines through exposure to Cytarabine (AraC), a front-line treatment in AML, in vitro and in vivo. We map distinct cellular …

Ivory 3045 Grand Concourse Realty Corp. V. Estrella

All Decisions

The landlord sued tenants for $18,777.56 in rental arrears, alleging breach of a lease agreement for a residential apartment. After the lease expired in September 2017, the landlord claimed a month-to-month tenancy until eviction in November 2018, with rent unpaid from February 2018. Tenants credibly testified they surrendered the apartment and keys to the landlord's broker in December 2017 and vacated. The court dismissed the complaint, finding the landlord failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that a month-to-month tenancy existed after January 2018 (as no rent was accepted) or that tenants remained in possession, as a new …

No. 24-2003
Marvin Owens v. Gary Schuette

On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan Case No. 2:24-cv-10787

From the Summary of the Argument

This appeal requires the Court to correct an error below—derived from a recently abrogated error in this Court’s own precedent—that denies the full remedial protections enacted to safeguard religious exercise under RLUIPA. The only question is whether RLUIPA allows courts to award damages against counties and their officials. The only answer—especially following the Supreme Court’s unanimous interpretation of an identical provision in RFRA—is yes.

Sobre El Arcoíris: The Queering Of Mariachi, Tyician Charles Knight

Music ETDs

Mariachi is an internationally renowned artform and tradition whose history spans over decades and several continents. However, there are many aspects still embedded in mariachi culture that remain problematic; machismo (toxic masculinity), alcoholism, and homophobia to name a few. While there has been an increase of mariachi scholars who have critically examined these issues, mariachi culture itself has yet to address the challenges brought forth by its history of gender discrimination and homophobia and embrace practical changes that would enable the creation of a more equitable environment and further develop this living tradition. This thesis analyzes the trajectory of queering …

The Zbtb24-Cdca7-Hells Axis Suppresses The Totipotent 2c-Like Reprogramming By Maintaining Dux Methylation And Repression, Dan Guo, Zeling Du, Youqi Liu, Meiqi Lin, Yue Lu, Yanna Xue, Taiping Chen, Jiameng Dan

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Two-cell-like cells (2CLCs), a rare population (∼0.5%) in mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) cultures, are in a transient totipotent-like state resembling that of 2C-stage embryos, and their discovery and characterization have greatly facilitated the study of early developmental events, such as zygotic genome activation. However, the molecular determinants governing 2C-like reprogramming remain to be elucidated. Here, we show that ZBTB24, CDCA7, and HELLS, components of a molecular pathway that is involved in the pathogenesis of immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, function as negative regulators of 2C-like reprogramming by maintaining DNA methylation of the Dux cluster, a master …

Adaptive Ejection Of Printed Media, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Fast Ejections speeds are crucial for good printing speeds. However, cost pressures and sustainability considerations at the lowest price points are impacting device design, even to shrinking size of media output trays. To maintain output capacity, we traditionally limit ejection speeds, which hurt print performance. With this disclosed ability to modify feed speeds within feed moves, we propose to precisely eject printed media at just the right speed; while at all other times, moving as fast as practical. This rebalances the tradeoff between print speed and tray capacity for more favorable product attributes, down to the opening price point.

Discovering The True Meaning Of Federalist No. 27, Mckenzie Pedersen-Campbell

Student Research Symposium

Background

Three of the Founding Fathers wrote the Federalist Papers in order to gain support for and explain the new system of government.

• The Federalist Papers provide valuable insight into the original meaning of the Constitution.

• Supreme Court Justices often look to the Federalist Papers when making decisions but do not always come to the same understanding.

• In Printz v. United States (1997), both the Supreme Court’s majority and dissenting opinions used Federalist No. 27 to support their arguments.

New Zealand Security Agencies’ Secrecy, Accountability, And Transparency In The Modern Era, Ben Amata

Secrecy and Society

New Zealand’s security agencies need to balance conflicting missions of secrecy, accountability, and transparency in conducting national security government operations. Citizens expect protection without violating their liberties and for security agencies to act effectively and legally. From public revelations about the agencies and government reform efforts, the agencies evolved from almost total secrecy to greater accountability and transparency since World War II. This study employs a historical methodology, which examines primary source documents to reveal the history of secret behavior and to reform the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service and the Government Communications Security Bureau.

Breeding For Non-Shattering Forage Vetch, Vicia Sativa L., A.M Abd El Moneim

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Because of the potential importance of common vetch, Vicia sativa L., as a forage legume to replace fallow in the cereal/­fallow rotations in the Mediterranean region, it is of great importance to increase seed yield and reduce seed prices. One way of doing this is to increase the proportion of pods which do not shatter at maturity. Losses of seeds from maturing pods of forage common vetch, constitutes a serious economic problem and severely restricts the use of the species as a forage crop (Abd El Moneim, 1984). Furthermore, the harvesting of common vetch grown in fallow lands causes severe« …

The Effect Of Selfing On Trifolium Alexandrinum Measured In Conditions Of Interference Among The Plants, P Rotili, G Gnocchi

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

After the constitution of the cv Sacromonte the breeding work on berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum) at the Forage Crop Institute of Lodi was slowed. A renewed interest in nitrogen fixing legumes in recent years has led to a program aimed at reevaluating the berseem clover. Today this crop is utilized not only in South Italy (autumn sowing) but in North Italy as well and in some Central European countries (spring sowing). The greatest utilization is in Egypt where berseem is grown either for forage crop or for green manure crop, usually preceding cotton or summer vegetables.
