Proof Of Causation In A Private Action For Acid Rain Damage, Patrick J. Scully
Proof Of Causation In A Private Action For Acid Rain Damage, Patrick J. Scully
Maine Law Review
The acid rain problem has become one of the major environmental issues of our day. Each new report on the subject is more disturbing than the last, documenting serious and often irreversible effects of acid rain on lakes and streams, fish and other aquatic life, forests, soils, buildings, and even human health. Present federal legislation is inadequate to deal with acid rain effectively. Proposed legislation could help ameliorate the problem, but even if adopted the effects of such proposals will not be felt until early in the next century. Furthermore, the current administration, particularly the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has …
Aviation Law: Owner-Lessor Liability—The Need For Uniformity, Ann T. Hollyday
Aviation Law: Owner-Lessor Liability—The Need For Uniformity, Ann T. Hollyday
Maine Law Review
General aviation—aviation involving both private and business aircraft—is a substantial and growing industry which comprises a fleet of 211,000 planes. The number of general aviation aircraft is expected to increase to 300,000 by 1991. Moreover, there are over 760,000 private pilots in the United States. Because of the varying sources of aviation liability law among the states, there is a lack of uniformity regarding whether the owner-lessor will be held vicariously liable for the negligent acts of the pilot. The lack of uniformity concerning owner-lessor liability in the aviation context is problematic because the owner is unable to predict what …
The Parent-Child Privilege And The Parent-Child Crime: Observations On State V. Delong And In Re Agosto, Ellen Kandoian
The Parent-Child Privilege And The Parent-Child Crime: Observations On State V. Delong And In Re Agosto, Ellen Kandoian
Maine Law Review
Should a child be compelled to testify against his parent under threat of criminal punishment? Ignoring for a moment the applicable legal doctrines, there are several reasons why one might answer no. First, if we value the idea of family loyalty, and believe that loyalty of a child to his parent is particularly important for traditional, moral, and practical reasons, then measures taken by a state to undermine such loyalty must be viewed critically. Second, children tend to accumulate tremendous amounts of information about their parents' activities and are party or witness to many communications made by their parents with …
Analysis Of The Longitudinal Effect Of Home Advantage In The Brazilian Football Championship – Série A, Werlayne Leite, Marcelo C. Zanetti
Analysis Of The Longitudinal Effect Of Home Advantage In The Brazilian Football Championship – Série A, Werlayne Leite, Marcelo C. Zanetti
Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity
Athletes and teams typically obtain an advantage when competing at home, a phenomenon known as home advantage (HA). This study investigates the longitudinal effect of HA in the Brazilian Football Championship (Série A) over 21 seasons, analyzing 8,405 matches from 2003 to 2023. The results showed that the average HA was 35.1 ± 7.7%, while the competitive balance (CB) was 0.838 ± 0.145. A negative, non-significant correlation (r = -0.321, p = 0.157) was found between HA and CB, with CB explaining 10.3% of HA variation in the Brazilian league. HA de-creased over time, likely due to improved logistics, …

Where To Build Food Banks: A Machine Learning Approach, Gavin Ruan
Where To Build Food Banks: A Machine Learning Approach, Gavin Ruan
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
Over 44 million Americans currently suffer from food insecurity, of whom 13 million are children. Food insecurity has been shown to cause a wide range of both physical and developmental issues. Across the United States, thousands of food banks and pantries serve as vital sources of food and other forms of aid for food-insecure families. By optimizing food bank locations, food banks and their resources would become more accessible to families who desperately require it. The aim of this paper is to build a machine learning framework that is able to optimize food bank locations and to consider factors such …
Security At Too High An Environmental Cost?: The European Union's Energy Independence Strategy And Its Environmental Implications For Air Quality In Poland And Hungary, Stephanie P. Peterson
Security At Too High An Environmental Cost?: The European Union's Energy Independence Strategy And Its Environmental Implications For Air Quality In Poland And Hungary, Stephanie P. Peterson
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the European Union worked to secure liquified natural gas (LNG) deals with third countries to abolish its dependence on Russian gas. In this article, I sought to determine the environmental implications of the European Union’s new LNG deals on the air quality in Hungary and Poland, two former communist states. Despite LNG being a cleaner fossil fuel, I hypothesized that it posed a threat to Hungary’s and Poland’s air quality as both countries endured rapid industrialization under Soviet control that forwent environmental protections. To prove this, I used qualitative data from before the …
Predictive Maintenance Analysis Of Turbofan Engine Sensor Data, Stanley A. Melkumian
Predictive Maintenance Analysis Of Turbofan Engine Sensor Data, Stanley A. Melkumian
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
Predictive maintenance in aviation and aerospace applications is among the most explored problems in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), and datasets such as NASA’s C-MAPPS turbofan engine degradation simulation data have proven invaluable, helping researchers explore numerous questions on engine performance, maintenance, and failure. The purpose of this study was to extend the current research on predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of engines and their risk classification. Starting with simple yet under-investigated nonlinear survival and random forest models, the analysis implemented eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and long short-term memory (LSTM) from TensorFlow’s Keras library. For both regression …

Optimization Of Tps Films Using An Adaptive Design Of Experiments Approach In A Bayesian Optimization Framework, Theresa Marks, Gracie White, Scott Lohman, Mayank Malhotra
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
Plastic pollution, amounting to 12 million tons annually, necessitates sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics. Compostable thermoplastic starch (TPS) films show promise but lack strength and durability compared to traditional plastics. This study employs an adaptive design of experiments (DoE) approach to enhance TPS films by optimizing testing points. The research focuses on varying concentrations of plasticizers (acetic acid and glycerol) in a water and potato starch mixture, aiming to identify the optimal ratio maximizing tensile strength and % elongation at break. Gaussian process regression (GPR) with uncertainty estimation and Bayesian optimization (BO) utilizing an acquisition function (AF) are employed. The …
The Influence Of Soil Properties And Land Management On Soil Porewater Chemistry, Bethany Kettleborough
The Influence Of Soil Properties And Land Management On Soil Porewater Chemistry, Bethany Kettleborough
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
Soil water dynamics influence vegetation health, soil geochemical reactions, and stream chemistry. Water dynamics can be controlled by soil type and land management. It is important to understand water movement due to its influence on soil weathering, microbial activity, and nutrient transport. Water movement can be investigated using water stable isotope variability as a tracer. The purpose of this ongoing study was to analyze stable isotopes and dissolved ions in prairie and agricultural land management sites in Nebraska and Illinois. Prairies typically contain deep-rooted grasses, while agricultural lands contain shallow-rooted row crops. Root depth is considered a major control on …
And You Don't Seem To Understand: Disanalogies Between Artificial And Biological Consciousness, Derek Freeman
And You Don't Seem To Understand: Disanalogies Between Artificial And Biological Consciousness, Derek Freeman
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
This paper posits a new way of attempting to formulate theories of machine consciousness. At present, inquiry revolves around formulating criteria that could be applied to machines to determine if they possess human-like consciousness. The paper demonstrates that efforts so far have not been fruitful, instead finding that present methods of inquiry are destined to result in an impasse between those who support the notion of machine consciousness and those who oppose it. Consequently, the paper questions the assumption that human and machine consciousness must resemble each other. It explores a different approach, one that rejects the idea that the …
Technological Accessibility For Wildlife Telemetry Research, Andrew Danielson
Technological Accessibility For Wildlife Telemetry Research, Andrew Danielson
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
Over the course of two years, I conducted original research into improving accessibility for researchers in the field of wildlife telemetry. Wildlife telemetry is a technique used by biologists to track wildlife in the field, which requires the biologist to attach a small radio transmitter to an animal, usually using a specially designed collar, harness, or another means. These transmitters are battery powered and will emit or transmit a regularly timed radio signal that can be received by radio receivers carried by the researchers. Two issues faced by wildlife telemetry researchers are the cost of wildlife telemetry equipment and the …
Preliminary Checklist Of Amphipod Crustaceans From Sapelo Island, Ga, Abigail Dugger*, Kristine N. White Ph.D.
Preliminary Checklist Of Amphipod Crustaceans From Sapelo Island, Ga, Abigail Dugger*, Kristine N. White Ph.D.
Georgia Journal of Science
Amphipods belonging to the subphylum Crustacea inhabit many aquatic habitats, and they can often inform scientists and researchers about various environmental conditions, acting as biological indicators, yet documentation of amphipod species is lacking in the state of Georgia. During this study amphipods were collected from around Sapelo Island, GA, imaged, and identified. A preliminary checklist and identification key to Sapelo Island amphipods is provided. This checklist and key will be useful for researchers and citizen scientists alike, for monitoring the health of the environment, surveying biodiversity, and for use in other applied studies.

Embodied Cognition And Teaching Stem: Tenets To Explain And Enhance A Middle School Science Project, Jonathan E. Roberts, Joshua L. Williams, Robert A. Hodgdon, Caroline Payne, Gabriela Ruiz Emmanuelli
Current Issues in Middle Level Education
STEM pedagogy is a popular area for research and discussion. The empirical literature on this topic supports a variety of approaches (e.g., inquiry-based) to help instructors spark student interest create an effective learning environment, and foster long-term retention and transfer of information related to STEM topics. One potential approach is to use tenets of embodied cognition, in which behavior and cognition emerge out of real-time sensorimotor behavior of the individual situated within a particular context, to implement strategies to enhance STEM pedagogy. We applied the six lessons of embodied cognition to understand the beneficial aspects of a middle-school project on …
“Give The People What They Want”: Bodies On Display In Marlene Van Niekerk’S Triomf, Lara Buxbaum
“Give The People What They Want”: Bodies On Display In Marlene Van Niekerk’S Triomf, Lara Buxbaum
Kritika Kultura
Marlene van Niekerk’s Triomf has attained both literary acclaim and notoriety since it was first published in Afrikaans in 1994 (English translation 1999). This darkly comic novel is set at the dawn of the democratic election and as such, the fictional context mirrors the historical moment in which it was published. The novel relates the misadventures of the incestuous and indigent Afrikaans family, the Benades, whose grotesque bodies are described in minute detail. The paper examines the reason for this visceral corporeality in the context of Louise Bethlehem’s classification of the post-apartheid literary canon as one “in which the abject …
Movement, Memory, Transformation, And Transition In The City: Literary Representations Of Johannesburg In Post-Apartheid South African Texts, Anne Putter
Kritika Kultura
“Writing the city,” particularly writing the city of Johannesburg, in post-apartheid South African fiction can be considered a new approach to interpreting South African culture—a new approach that takes into consideration and reflects the changes taking place in present-day South African society. Texts written on Johannesburg such as Kgebetli Moele’s Room 207 (2006) and Ivan Vladislavić’s The Restless Supermarket (2001) are utilizing the subject matter and everyday life of the city as an “idea,” as a means of expressing societal concerns and other important changes taking place in the country as a whole. The paper will identify and consider how …

Immersive And Counter-Immersive Styles Of Writing Aids In Sindiwe Magona’S Beauty’S Gift And Kgebetli Moele’S The Book Of The Dead: A Didactic Approach To Writing Aids, Kulukazi Soldati-Kahimbaara
Kritika Kultura
Two distinct responses to the growing body of literature on AIDS, according to Joseph Cady, are immersive and counter-immersive AIDS writing. The former addresses itself to the denial which has dominated worldwide reaction to AIDS, and confronts this denial squarely in an effort to undo it. Central to immersive writing is an attempt to thrust the reader into a direct imaginative confrontation with the special horrors of AIDS, and thus forcing him/her to deal with these horrors with no relief or buffer provided by the writer. In Magona’s Beauty’s Gift, this is evident when Beauty wastes away suddenly, but denies …

Living In Disgrace Without Term, Peter Horn
Kritika Kultura
This paper provides a reading of J.M. Coetzee’s novel Disgrace. Professor David Lurie, formerly professor of modern languages, then of communication, has seduced one of his students in the Romantics class, and was dismissed by the university after a disciplinary hearing where he refuses to defend himself against the charges. He pleads guilty, denying the right of the university to judge the morality of his conduct. Later he states: “I became a servant of Eros” and “I am not prepared to be reformed. I want to go on being myself.” When asked by his daughter to make his case, Lurie …
Memory And The Diasporic Creative Imagination: Preeta Smarasan's Evening Is The Whole Day, Shanthini Pillai
Memory And The Diasporic Creative Imagination: Preeta Smarasan's Evening Is The Whole Day, Shanthini Pillai
Kritika Kultura
The focal point of this paper is the concept of transnational memory and the blurred and fluctuating boundaries of ties with the nation that was once home as depicted in Evening is the Whole Day, a novel by Preeta Samarasan, part of the emergent community of new Malaysian diasporic writers. New Malaysian diasporic writers in the context of this paper are taken to refer to writers who were born in Malaysia but are now settled elsewhere in the globe, and yet are recognizably transnational in that their writings focus on the older country and memories of family, community, and a …
Letting It Flow: A Phenomenology Of Water In The Age Of Modern Technology, Remmon E. Barbaza
Letting It Flow: A Phenomenology Of Water In The Age Of Modern Technology, Remmon E. Barbaza
Kritika Kultura
This essay seeks to initiate a phenomenology of water in the age of modern technology within a Heideggerian framework. Insofar as it holds sway as the essence of modern technology, Ge-stell (enframing) blocks the appearance of water as water. Instead, like most other “natural resources,” water appears as the resource that is extracted, manipulated, and made readily available for universal distribution and instant consumption, but detached from its origin in earth and sky. A disruption in the handiness of water, however, such as is occasioned by water shortage or massive flooding, offers the possibility of inviting human beings to recover …
"Sita Puts Out The Fire": Some Depictions Of The Testing Of Sita's Virtue In Indonesian, Malay, And Thai Literature, Harry Aveling
"Sita Puts Out The Fire": Some Depictions Of The Testing Of Sita's Virtue In Indonesian, Malay, And Thai Literature, Harry Aveling
Kritika Kultura
The Ramayana has been known in many forms throughout South and Southeast Asia for almost two thousand years. This paper deals with one incident in the epic: Sita’s trial by fire as proof of her chastity and loyalty to her husband Rama immediately following the defeat of Sita’s captor, the ten-headed monster Ravana, and her residence in the monster’s palace for four years. The story is told somewhat differently in the classical Malay Hikayt Seri Rama and the Thai Ramakien—partly for religious reasons but retaining a patriarchal emphasis. There are also modern retellings of this incident in Indonesian and Thai. …
Bioshock And Bioshock 2: A Case Study Of Tragic Posthumans, Madison Knight
Bioshock And Bioshock 2: A Case Study Of Tragic Posthumans, Madison Knight
Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy
Video games offer unique perspectives when analyzing the social structures built into the world of a text; choice becomes a major factor in the central action of video games as players take control of the story’s main protagonists. Two video games that fixate on this idea of choice and its intersection with the posthuman are Ken Levine’s BioShock (2007) and its direct successor, Jordan Thomas’s BioShock 2 (2010). The games each feature posthuman protagonists. Posthumans themselves are often prejudiced and portrayed to be “other,” and while BioShock equally asserts posthumans as “others,” these games show a different side to the …
