(Fordham Law Review, 1999)Nonlawyer legal assistance is a necessary ingredient of any plan for meaningful access to the courts. The American Bar Association Commission on Nonlawyer Practice found in 1995 "that as many as 70% to 80% or more of ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2003)This paper extends the diffusion index (DI) forecast approach of Stock and Watson (1998, 2002) to the case of possibly nonlinear dynamic factor models. When the number of series is large, a two-step procedure based on the ...
-
(2008-12-06)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThis dissertation presents the study of non-linear induced-charge electrokinetic phenomena and the corresponding applications. The study shows that a nonlinear induced surface charge distribution is immediately caused when ...

(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2017)Recent work has highlighted the significance of long-distance particle motions in hillslope sediment transport. Such motions imply that the flux at a given hillslope position is appropriately described as a weighted ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2003)This paper derives the asymptotic distribution of the nonparametric neural network estimator of the Lyapunov exponent in a noisy system. Positivity of the Lyapunov exponent is an operational definition of chaos. We introduce ...
-
(2007-10-26)Department: Electrical EngineeringEcho Planar Imaging (EPI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique permitting very rapid data acquisition. This makes EPI a widely used fast imaging technique in many applications, such as functional magnetic resonance ...
