Aerial Surveillance and the Fourth Amendment – California v. Ciraolo

This is the published version.Law enforcement officials have increasingly turned to aerial surveillance as a means of combating crime. Aerial surveillance often enables police to view areas that they otherwise would be unable to view without a warrant. Consequently, considerable conflict has developed over whether this means of surveillance constitutes a search under the fourth amendment. In California v. Ciraolo, the United States Supreme Court held that naked-eye aerial observations of the curtilage of a home, when made from navigable airspace, do not constitute a search protected by the fourth amendment

Improving Access to Healthcare for LGBTQ Individuals in Burlington

Studies consistently show that LGBTQ individuals are at higher risk for substance abuse, tobacco use, suicide, HIV, and chronic health conditions. The Community Health Centers of Burlington recently created a specialty clinic called the Be You Clinic, which will focus on delivering healthcare to LGBTQ persons, by LGBTQ-affirmative and –knowledgeable providers. This project sought to spread awareness of this new clinic by advertising.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1359/thumbnail.jp

Florida History - A Field of Colorful Original Sources

This address was delivered by Mrs. Corse before the Society at its recent annual meeting

Denys Rolle. and Rollestown, A Pioneer for Utopia

This account of Denys Rolle and his attempt at colonization in Florida is based on forty-three contemporaneous documents preserved in the Public Record Office, London,- letters and reports of Governors Grant and Tonyn to the Lords of Trade and Plantations,. to the Earl of Shelburne and to Lord Hillsborough; memorials of Rolle, and his letters to the governor and the secretaries; Acts of the Privy Council; private letters; etc. Copies of these papers were secured from London by Mrs. Corse and given to the library of the Florida Historical Society where they may be seen; hence it is considered unnecessary to cite the source of each statement made. Three of these documents follow this article. Others may be published here when space is available

DeBrahm’s Report on East Florida, 1773

The most detailed of the early reports on the Florida peninsula is that of John Gerard William DeBrahm, Surveyor General of the southern district of North America for George III of England. His observations on Florida are contained in a work entitled “History of the Three Provinces, South Carolina, Georgia and East Florida,” in manuscript in the British Museum, with a copy in Harvard University Library. The South Carolina and Georgia sections of this report have been printed but the Florida material is still only in manuscript. A great benefit would be conferred upon students of Colonial Florida if this part were printed also

Gestion du chêne vert en Corse, quelques éléments de sylviculture

Le chêne vert est, en Corse, placé dans des conditions naturelles différentes de celles qui existent sur le continent : pluviosité généralement supérieure, relief accusé. Les peuplements peuvent être classés selon les types différents : le taillis, le maquis à chêne vert, la futaie et le taillis sous futaie. Outre la pérennité de l'état boisé, le gestionnaire recherche dans chaque peuplement à obtenir l'équilibre entre divers objectifs : produire du bois, obtenir des glands, préserver l'environnement pour rester une forêt accueillante aux promeneurs. Une gestion forestière peut être envisagée par le traitement en taillis et en futaie

The Stage Works of Franz Schubert with an Analysis of Fierrabras

Performances of Fitrabras and the other Schubert operas have been very rare. Parts of Fierrabras were given in concert form in Vienna in 1853 and again in 1858. The first stage production was in Karlsruhe, February 9, 1897, but the music was revised for that performance by 0. Neitzel and the text by F. Mottl. The text was translated into French for a production in Brussels in 1926. A concert version was also heard in London in 1938. None of these performances, with the possible exception of the one in Brussels, was in the original version. It has always been assumed that the work could not be performed as it stands; at any rate, no one has ever tried. True, there are certain problems in production, especially in the rapid shift of scenes in the third act, but modern stage technique could undoubtedly conquer such difficulties easily

Green's function methods in 1D nanoscale electron waveguides

textR-matrix theory has been used to analyze a variety of scattering potentials in ballistic electron waveguides. The S-matrix is the principal result of this method. Here we analyze ballistic electron scattering in a 1D waveguide with a step potential at its terminus using Green’s function theory. We calculate the S-matrix for this system, scattering particles’ quasibound states, and the survival probability of a particle initially localized in the step region. We then apply R-matrix theory to the same problem. In doing so, we demonstrate the versatility of the Green’s function approach, but also its relative complexity.Physic

Public Health Outcomes as a Measure of Efficacy of Syringe Exchange Programs

Introduction. A syringe exchange is a public health intervention that offers nonjudgmental services to intravenous drug users (IVDU), providing clean syringes in exchange for used syringes. While prior studies demonstrated that syringe exchanges can reduce transmission of HIV, hepatitis C, and other blood-borne pathogens, other measures of health improvements have been less studied. Methods. 91 members of Vermont CARES syringe exchange program were surveyed on their healthcare practices. New members were defined asprogram. Results. Long-term members tended to have a primary care provider (PCP). Lack of insurance and fear of judgment were commonly cited reasons for not having a PCP. Long-term members were significantly less likely (p=0.04) to use costly emergency department (ED) services and less likely to reuse their own or another person\u27s needles. Long-term members were more likely to be in addiction treatment and reported a greater desire to abstain from drug use. New members were more likely to obtain hepatitis C and HIV testing in the past year. Discussion. Subjects responded positively to the possibility of accessing PCP services through VT CARES, offering a continuation of the nonjudgmental healthcare environment. Decreased ED visits significantly correlated with longer membership, reflecting the positive impact of the syringe exchange education services on reducing healthcare costs. Decreased testing among long-term members may reflect prior knowledge of their status. Long-term members were less likely to reuse their own needles or ones used by another person, suggesting the distribution of clean syringes encourages safer injection practices.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/comphp_gallery/1247/thumbnail.jp
