Litigator involvement and success in the U.S. Courts of Appeals and Supreme Court

description: Literature on test case litigation has led researchers to expect that familiarity with case facts may increase a lawyer's likelihood of victory before the U.S. Supreme Court. However, this question has not been examined empirically. Here, I consider this question. I use data on all federal cases orally argued before the Court during its 2000-2004 terms. I find that interest group lawyers are the only kind of attorneys that are significantly more likely to become involved in the courts of appeals. Early involvement, however, does not affect the probability that a party will win before the Supreme Court.

description: We describe three case studies illustrating the use of ACL2s to prove the correctness of optimized reactive systems using skipping refinement. Reasoning about reactive systems using refinement involves defining an abstract, high-level specification system and a concrete, low-level system. Next, one shows that the behaviors of the implementation system are allowed by the specification system. Skipping refinement allows us to reason about implementation systems that can "skip" specification states due to optimizations that allow the implementation system to take several specification steps at once. Skipping refinement also allows implementation systems to, i.e., to take several steps before completing a specification step. We show how ACL2s can be used to prove skipping refinement theorems by modeling and proving the correctness of three systems: a JVM-inspired stack machine, a simple memory controller, and a scalar to vector compiler transformation.

description: Synesius of Cyrene, born around 370 AD in the influential city of Cyrene, Libya, was a polymath: philosopher, diplomat, military leader, and bishop. Educated in Alexandria under the renowned pagan philosopher Hypatia, he later became bishop of Ptolemais. Synesius cherished Neoplatonism throughout his life, integrating it seamlessly with his Christian faith. His writings, including 156 letters and poetic works, reflect his deep philosophical and theological insights. Synesius's intellectual legacy bridges Neoplatonic thought with Christianity, emphasizing transcendence and spiritual elevation. His life underscores a harmonious synthesis of philosophical inquiry and religious devotion, leaving a profound mark on ancient thought.

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: We formalize some basic properties of Fourier series in the logic of ACL2(r), which is a variant of ACL2 that supports reasoning about the real and complex numbers by way of non-standard analysis. More specifically, we extend a framework for formally evaluating definite integrals of real-valued, continuous functions using the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Our extended framework is also applied to functions containing free arguments. Using this framework, we are able to prove the orthogonality relationships between trigonometric functions, which are the essential properties in Fourier series analysis. The sum rule for definite integrals of indexed sums is also formalized by applying the extended framework along with the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and the sum rule for differentiation. The Fourier coefficient formulas of periodic functions are then formalized from the orthogonality relations and the sum rule for integration. Consequently, the uniqueness of Fourier sums is a straightforward corollary. We also present our formalization of the sum rule for definite integrals of infinite series in ACL2(r). Part of this task is to prove the Dini Uniform Convergence Theorem and the continuity of a limit function under certain conditions. A key technique in our proofs of these theorems is to apply the overspill principle from non-standard analysis.

description: We present a mechanical laser shutter design that utilizes a DC electric motor to rotate a blade which blocks and unblocks a light beam. The blade and the main body of the shutter are modeled with computer aided design (CAD) and are produced by 3D printing. Rubber flaps are used to limit the blade's range of motion, reducing vibrations and preventing undesirable blade oscillations. At its nominal operating voltage, the shutter achieves a switching speed of (1.22 $\pm$ 0.02) m/s with 1 ms activation delay and 10 $μ$s jitter in its timing performance. The shutter design is simple, easy to replicate, and highly reliable, showing no failure or degradation in performance over more than $10^8$ cycles.

description: Recently, a series of articles by Combes et al. has shown that it was possible to greatly improve the measurement rate of a register of qubits for given detector resources by means of a clever feedback control scheme. However, this speed-up came at an exponential cost in terms of complexity and memory use. In this article, I propose a simple efficient algorithm --exponentially more frugal in memory and less complex to implement-- which is asymptotically as fast. I use extensively the implicit classicality of the situation to provide a slightly more straightforward interpretation of the results. I compute the speed-up rates exactly in the case of the proposed model and in the case of the open-loop scheme of Combes et al. and prove that they indeed provide the same asymptotic speed-up.

description: The origin of terrestrial biota in Antarctica has been debated since the discovery of springtails on the first historic voyages to the southern continent more than 120 years ago. A plausible explanation for the long-term persistence of life requiring ice-free land on continental Antarctica has, however, remained elusive. The default glacial eradication scenario has dominated because hypotheses to date have failed to provide a mechanism for their widespread survival on the continent, particularly through the Last Glacial Maximum when geological evidence demonstrates that the ice sheet was more extensive than present. Here, we provide support for the alternative nunatak refuge hypothesis—that ice-free terrain with sufficient relief above the ice sheet provided refuges and was a source for terrestrial biota found today. This hypothesis is supported here by an increased understanding from the combination of biological and geological evidence, and we outline a mechanism for these refuges during successive glacial maxima that also provides a source for coastal species. Our cross-disciplinary approach provides future directions to further test this hypothesis that will lead to new insights into the evolution of Antarctic landscapes and how they have shaped the biota through a changing climate.

Controversy and Crusade: Daniel Harvey Hill and the Shaping of Reputation and Historical Memory
Creators: name: Erslev, Brit Kimberly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Between 1863 and 1889, Confederate Major General Daniel Harvey Hill defended himself against real and perceived attacks on his reputation in connection with the Lost Dispatch and the Battle of Chickamauga, two controversial events of the Civil War. As a crusader of sorts, Hill actively shaped the historical memory of the Civil War in part by aggressively pursuing personal vindication through correspondence with politicians and colleagues and through printed statements in his own and other publications. Hill connected criticism of his military reputation with that of his personal reputation, and vice versa. For Hill, these two sides of his reputation were intimately linked by the desire to uphold the family name, not only for his children, but in relation to his war record and the units he commanded. He was keenly aware of his potential role in the memory-making of the war because he was one of its architects. Therefore, he consciously made the struggle to clear his reputation part of his crusade to sculpt southern and national memory of the Civil War.

description: The terrestrial planets and the asteroids dominant in the inner asteroid belt are water poor. However, in the protoplanetary disk the temperature should have decreased below water condensation level well before the disk was photoevaporated. Thus, the global water depletion of the inner Solar System is puzling. We show that, even if the inner disk becomes cold, there cannot be direct condensation of water. This is because the snowline moves towards the Sun more slowly than the gas itself. The appearance of ice in a range of heliocentric distances swept by the snowline can only be due to the radial drift of icy particles from the outer disk. However, if a sufficiently massive planet is present, the radial drift of particles is interrupted, because the disk acquires a superKeplerian rotation just outside of the planetary orbit. From this result, we propose that the precursor of Jupiter achieved about 20 Earth masses when the snowline was still around 3 AU. This effectively fossilized the snowline at that location. Although cooling, the disk inside of the Jovian orbit remained ice-depleted because the flow of icy particles from the outer system was intercepted by the planet. This scenario predicts that planetary systems without giant planets should be much more rich in water in their inner regions than our system. We also show that the inner edge of the planetesimal disk at 0.7AU, required in terrestrial planet formation models to explain the small mass of Mercury and the absence of planets inside of its orbit, could be due to the silicate condensation line, fossilized at the end of the phase of streaming instability that generated the planetesimal seeds. Thus, when the disk cooled, silicate particles started to drift inwards of 0.7AU without being sublimated, but they could not be accreted by any pre-existing planetesimals.

description: Disparity within the Spanish healthcare system has been prevalent since the inception of the democracy after the fall of Franco. This disparity has particularly affected the poorer regions of Spain, which did not have the resources or infrastructure of the wealthier regions, such as the Basque Country and Catalonia. This thesis sought to analyze the policies of the national-level governments of the Popular Party's Jose Maria Aznar (1996-2000 and 2000-2004) and social democratic leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero (2004-present). After research on the policies of the governments and collection of data on healthcare expenditure per capita at each time point (the status of the healthcare system in 1996 before the first Aznar government and at the end of each government's term) in all regions of Spain, it was found that the PSOE government of Zapatero was more successful in promoting parity than the PP governments of Aznar.

description: Leakage errors occur when a quantum system leaves the two-level qubit subspace. Reducing these errors is critically important for quantum error correction to be viable. To quantify leakage errors, we use randomized benchmarking in conjunction with measurement of the leakage population. We characterize single qubit gates in a superconducting qubit, and by refining our use of Derivative Reduction by Adiabatic Gate (DRAG) pulse shaping along with detuning of the pulses, we obtain gate errors consistently below $10^{-3}$ and leakage rates at the $10^{-5}$ level. With the control optimized, we find that a significant portion of the remaining leakage is due to incoherent heating of the qubit.

description: Motivated by recent claims of a compelling ~3.5 keV emission line from nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters, we investigate a novel plasma model incorporating a charge exchange component obtained from theoretical scattering calculations. Fitting this kind of component with a standard thermal model yields positive residuals around 3.5 keV, produced mostly by S XVI transitions from principal quantum numbers n > 8 to the ground. Such high-n states can only be populated by the charge exchange process. In this scenario, the observed 3.5 keV line flux in clusters can be naturally explained by an interaction in an effective volume of ~1 kpc^3 between a ~3 keV temperature plasma and cold dense clouds moving at a few hundred km/s. The S XVI lines at ~3.5 keV also provide a unique diagnostic of the charge exchange phenomenon in hot cosmic plasmas.

description: Direct evidence for the timing of Paleozoic metamorphism is limited in reliability and extent in the southern Appalachians compared to the northern Appalachians. I employed U-Pb geochronology to date amphibolite in the Eastern Blue Ridge of North Carolina to better understand the age of southern Appalachian orogenesis. I collected samples from the Ashe Metamorphic Suite and dated zircon and titanite using LA-ICPMS and ID-TIMS. I found that zircon and titanite ages span approximately 130 million years from the Middle Ordovician through Mississippian. The data indicate that the Eastern Blue Ridge was subjected to prolonged tectonothermal heating throughout much of the Paleozoic, rather than discrete orogenic events punctuated by intervening periods of cooling.

Parental involvement and support for children’s school readiness
Creators: name: Chapman, Heather
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Reading—Parent participation

description: Many children in neighbourhoods within a mid Vancouver Island community are at risk for acquiring skills necessary for school readiness. In the neighbourhood that was examined by the current study, 47% of children were found to be vulnerable for low school readiness, as identified by the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) (2010/2011) through Wave Four of the Early Development Instrument (EDI) (2010/2011). Knowing the degree of support which parents have provided to their children as a foundation for school readiness is critical for educators to be able to address student needs. A quantitative study was conducted by surveying 17 parents of a Kindergarten/Grade 1 classroom to ascertain, within that particular context, how parents supported early school readiness, and the degree of involvement they had in supporting and providing experiences to their children prior to school entry and continuing through their formal education. Lack of parent response prevented answering the research question in this study. The concept of children’s school readiness is a larger issue than schools are able to fully address without community support in a child’s early years. Past research has indicated factors such as home environment, low-income, and parent past educational experiences contribute to the degree to which parents involve themselves in their child’s early development. Further study and community involvement are needed to address the issue of children’s school readiness and how to educate parents of their critical role in supporting their children in acquiring school readiness skills and their continued support once in formal education.

description: A new 3D S-velocity model for the crust and upper mantle beneath the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the Japan Sea, and the Philippine Sea is determined by means of Rayleigh-wave analysis for depths ranging from 0 to 400 km, and the most conspicuous features of the earth structure in this region are revealed from this model. In the depth range from 5 to 30 km, the S-velocity is principally affected by the thickness of the crust. In the areas with thin crust (oceanic crust), the highest S-velocity values are determined, while the lower S-velocity values are shown for the areas with a transitional crust. For the Japan Sea, the decrease observed in crustal thickness towards the north can be the result of the back-arc spreading that formed this sea from 32 to 10 Ma. Thus, from the four models proposed to explain the oceanic structure of this sea, the model supported by the results determined in the present study is the back-arc spreading model. For the Philippine Sea, the difference in the type of crust determined for the western part and the eastern-northeastern part is consistent with the two different theories, proposed to explain the origins of both parts of this sea. In the depth range from 30 to 60 km, the western part of the Philippine Sea shows higher S-velocity values than the eastern part, because the age of western part of this sea is greater than that of eastern part. The S-velocity difference of 0.2 km/s determined between both parts of this sea implies that the temperature difference within the lithosphere may reach ~370°C. For the western part of this sea, the controversy between the previous different lithospheric-thickness determinations is solved in the present study determining a lithosphere thickness of 90 km. The Japan Sea, the East China Sea, and Okinawa Trough are characterized by thin lithosphere, thick asthenosphere, and low S-velocities. These results and other evidence suggest that from the two models proposed to explain the formation of East Asian rifting system, the model of the back-arc spreading is the most realistic model. The asthenosphere beneath all study area has been precisely located and mapped in S-velocity, for the first time. The Pacific and Philippine Sea slabs and their corresponding mantle wedges above the slabs are also mapped with S-velocities.

French identity, Muslim identity: universalism, laïcité, and the Islamic challenge
Creators: name: Webster, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Europe is currently embroiled in a debate over the challenges Muslim immigration poses to national identity and cultural cohesion. As nations seek the best way to accommodate the values of the mainstream while respecting the rights and beliefs of Muslim minorities, they must make decisions about what tolerance really means, and the extent to which it requires secularism. The uniquely French value of laïcité, created from universalist ideals as a French solution to what was originally a French problem, is not incompatible with strong religious identity, but it is incompatible with the public expression of faith—an expression that many Muslims believe Islam requires. This essay will explore the reasons why the concept of French identity as universal and secular challenges France's Muslim minority (and vice versa) and why the application of laïcité within a universalist framework is still the best way to foster the creation of a truly French Islam.

An Investigation into the Geography, Theology, and Architecture of the Byzantine Monastery at Tel Masos
Creators: name: Duncan, Carrie Elaine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The impetus for this study was the seeming lack of interest in Tel Masos as the site of a potential second East Syrian monastery in Palestine. Upon closer examination, the monastery's ascription as East Syrian was cast into doubt and a broader investigation began. It became clear that the monastery at Tel Masos had fallen into a void between academic disciplines. Geographically, the site falls within the discipline of Byzantine and early Islamic archaeology in Palestine, while theologically it belongs in the field of Syrian Christianity. Since the publication of the site, no one had taken the opportunity to bring the site into a dialogue wherein both facets, geographical and theological, were engaged. The main goal for this study was to start such a conversation.

description: This paper examines the experiences of African American soldiers overseas in World War II. The Second World War has been described as a turning point in the black freedom struggle, and the soldiers who served in the military played a role in the pivotal changes taking place throughout the 1940s. Their time spent overseas and in the military was significant because it often provided soldiers with a new worldview or sense of consciousness. Using W.E.B. DuBois' idea of double consciousness, I analyze the changes these individuals experienced overseas, their encounters with new cultures, and generally new ways of looking at the world. In order to supplement this analysis and demonstrate that this sense of consciousness was prevalent at the time, I also use the work of contemporary black writers such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Melvin Tolson. Overall, I hope to reveal the changes these men underwent throughout the war.

description: The main purpose of language learning is to explore and develop the ability of learners in using the language, either actively (orally) or passively (writing), as well as to comprehend Arabic language skills and skills, such as muthala'ah, muhadatsah, and insya '; Nahwu and Shorf. So get the language skills that includes four aspects of skills, namely: listening skills, reading skills, writing skills, and speaking skills. This skill is intended to realize a high goal, namely to equip students' competence to understand the correct and clear language expression. Grammatical rules are a means to teach novice students to read and express the correct sounds of this language. Indonesians who learn Arabic have many problems writing and speaking in Arabic, including novice issues and rules. Because essentially, all language skills are related to each other. This can be analogous to a child who wants to learn the mother tongue. So the language skills are closely related to the processes that underlie the acquisition of a person's language. Since language is a reflection of a person's mindset or thinking, he or she should master these skills well. Although it is to master the four language skills is very difficult. But it is not impossible to master the four language skills.

description: We have investigated, using both a theoretical and an empirical approach, the frequency of low redshift galaxy-galaxy lensing systems in which the signature of weak lensing might be directly detectable. We find good agreement between these two approaches. In order to make a theoretical estimate of the weak lensing shear, $γ$, for each galaxy in a catalogue, we have made an estimate of the asymptotic circular velocity from the stellar mass using three different approaches: from a simulation based relation, from an empirically-derived relation, and using the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation. Using data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly redshift survey we estimate the frequency of detectable weak lensing at low redshift. We find that to a redshift of $z\sim 0.6$, the probability of a galaxy being weakly lensed by at least $γ= 0.02$ is $\sim 0.01$. A scatter in the $M_*-M_h$ relation results in a shift towards higher measured shears for a given population of galaxies. Given this, and the good probability of weak lensing at low redshifts, we have investigated the feasibility of measuring the scatter in the $M_*-M_h$ relation using shear statistics. This is a novel measurement, and is made possible because DSM is able to make individual \itshape direct~\upshape shear measurements, in contrast to traditional weak lensing techniques which can only make statistical measurements. We estimate that for a shear measurement error of $Δγ= 0.02$ (consistent with the sensitivity of DSM), a sample of $\sim$50,000 spatially and spectrally resolved galaxies would allow a measurement of the scatter in the $M_*-M_h$ relation to be made. While there are no currently existing IFU surveys of this size, there are upcoming surveys which will provide this data (e.g The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), surveys with Hector, and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)).

description: A simple comparison between the exact and approximate correlation components U of the electron-electron repulsion energy of several states of few-electron harmonium atoms with varying confinement strengths provides a superior validation tool for 1-matrix functionals. The robustness of this tool is clearly demonstrated in a survey of 14 known functionals, which reveals their substandard performance within different electron correlation regimes. Unlike spot-testing that employs dissociation curves of diatomic molecules or more extensive benchmarking against experimental atomization energies of molecules comprising one of standard sets, the present approach not only uncovers the flaws and patent failures of the functionals but, even more importantly, allows for pinpointing their root causes. Since the approximate values of U are computed at exact 1-densities, the testing requires minimal programming, and thus is particularly useful in quick screening of new functionals.

description: The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (Task Force) was reconstituted in 2009 to develop and disseminate evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to support preventive practices in primary care. In 2011, the Task Force aimed to provide a recent review of evidence to inform breast cancer screening practices. In keeping with the use of Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology, the Task Force reviewed available evidence using a systematic review to develop screening guidelines for women at average risk of breast cancer. The Task Force developed weak recommendations based on moderate to low quality evidence. The guidelines also highlighted the need for clinicians to help patients make a decision that is consistent with the patient’s informed values and preferences. The “Changes in mammography screening in Ontario and Alberta following national guideline dissemination: an interrupted time series analysis” study is focused on evaluating the impact of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care’s dissemination strategy by investigating mammography use in Ontario and Alberta before and after the strategy was implemented. This study was conducted to determine using an interrupted time series the impact of the 2011 Task Force breast cancer screening guidelines on rates of mammography screening by age group in Ontario and Alberta.
