UNDERSTANDING THE LITIGATION DEBATE --NOTES --INDEXLawsuits over coffee burns, playground injuries, even bad teaching: litigation "horror stories" create the impression that Americans are greedy, quarrelsome, and sue-happy. The truth, as this book makes clear, is quite different. What Thomas Burke describes in Lawyers, Lawsuits, and Legal Rights is a nation not of litigious citizens, but of litigious policies-laws that promote the use of litigation in resolving disputes and implementing public policies. This book is a cogent account of how such policies have come to shape public life and everyday practices in the United States. As litigious policies have proliferated, so have struggles to limit litigation-and these struggles offer insight into the nation's court-centered public policy style. Burke focuses on three cases: the effort to block the Americans with Disabilities Act; an attempt to reduce accident litigation by creating a no-fault auto insurance system in California; and the enactment of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act. These cases suggest that litigious policies are deeply rooted in the American constitutional tradition. Burke shows how the diffuse, divided structure of American government, together with the anti-statist ethos of American political culture, creates incentives for political actors to use the courts to address their concerns. The first clear and comprehensive account of the national politics of litigation, his work provides a new way to understand and address the "litigiousness" of American society.California series in law, politics, and society ;2.Justice, Administration ofUnited StatesActions and defensesUnited StatesLawyersUnited Statesaccident litigation.america.american culture.american government.american society.americans with disabilities act.california.case study.constitutional tradition.court centered policies.dispute resolution.greed.lawsuits.lawyers.legal rights.legal system.litigation.litigious policies.no fault auto insurance system.political culture.politics of litigation.public life.public policies.united states.vaccine injury compensation act.Justice, Administration ofActions and defensesLawyers347.73Burke Thomas F.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1233937DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910495965403321Lawyers, lawsuits, and legal rights2865963UNINA01735nam0 22004333i 450 VAN0028330120250115110604.641N978365836035120241122d2022 |0itac50 baengDE|||| |||||i e bcrRadio AstronomySmall Radio Telescopes: Basics, Technology, and ObservationsThomas LauterbachWiesbadenSpringer2022xiv, 55 p.ill.24 cmTranslation of the original German 1. edition001VAN002467482001 Essentials210 WiesbadenSpringer2013-VAN00283302Radioastronomie429206700A79 (77-XX)Physics [MSC 2020]VANC023182MF85-XXAstronomy and Astrophysics [MSC 2020]VANC023246MFCosmic Microwave BackgroundKW:KPulsarKW:KRadio radiationKW:KRadio technologyKW:KRadio telescopeKW:KDEWiesbadenVANL000457LauterbachThomasVANV236679960337Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20250606RICAhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-36035-1E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICAIT-CE0120VAN08NVAN00283301BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICA08DLOAD e-Book 9871 08eMF9871 20241211 Radioastronomie4292067UNICAMPANIA07999nam 2200445z- 450 991022005570332120210211(CKB)3800000000216221(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/52930(oapen)doab52930(EXLCZ)99380000000021622120202102d2017 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMechanical Signaling in Plants: From Perception to Consequences for Growth and Morphogenesis (Thigmomorphogenesis) and Ecological SignificanceFrontiers Media SA20171 online resource (93 p.)Frontiers Research Topics9782889450749 2889450740 During the 1970s, renewed interest in plant mechanical signaling led to the discovery that plants subjected to mechanical stimulation develop shorter and thicker axes than undisturbed plants, a syndrome called thigmomorphogenesis. Currently, mechanosensing is being intensively studied because of its involvement in many physiological processes in plants and particularly in the control of plant morphogenesis. From an ecological point of view, the shaping of plant architecture has to be precisely organized in space to ensure light capture as well as mechanical stability. In natural environments terrestrial plants are subjected to mechanical stimulation mainly due to wind, but also due to precipitation, while aquatic and marine plants are subjected to current and wave energy. Plants acclimate to mechanically challenging environments by sensing mechanical stimulations and modifying their growth in length and diameter and their tissue properties to reduce potential for buckling or breakage. From a morphogenetic point of view, both external and internal mechanical cues play an important role in the control of cell division and meristem development likely by modulating microtubule orientation. How mechanical stimulations are being sensed by plants is an area of intense research. Different types of mechanosensors have been discovered or proposed, including ion channels gated by membrane tension (stretch activation) and plasma membrane receptor-like kinases that monitor the cell wall deformations. Electrophysiologists have measured the conductances of some stretch-activated channels and have showed that SAC of different structures can exhibit different conductances. The role of these differences in conductance has not yet been established. Once a mechanical stimulus has been perceived, it must be converted into a biological signal that can lead to variations of plant phenotype. Calcium has been shown to function as an early second messenger, tightly linked with changes in cytosolic and apoplastic pH. Transcriptional analyses of the effect of mechanical stimulation have revealed a considerable number of differentially expressed genes, some of which appear to be specific to mechanical signal transduction. These genes can thus serve as markers of mechanosensing, for example, in studies attempting to define signalling threshold, or variations of mechanosensitivity (accommodation). Quantitative biomechanical studies have lead to a model of mechanoperception which links mechanical state and plant responses, and provides an integrative tool to study the regulation of mechanosensing. This model includes parameters (sensitivity and threshold) that can be estimated experimentally. It has also been shown that plants are desensitized when exposed to multiple mechanical signals as a function of their mechanical history. Finally, mechanosensing is also involved in osmoregulation or cell expansion. The links between these different processes involving mechanical signalling need further investigation. This frontier research topic provides an overview of the different aspects of mechanical signaling in plants, spanning perception, effects on plant growth and morphogenesis, and broad ecological significance.During the 1970s, renewed interest in plant mechanical signaling led to the discovery that plants subjected to mechanical stimulation develop shorter and thicker axes than undisturbed plants, a syndrome called thigmomorphogenesis.
