Bastardy Proceedings - A Proposal

The putative father\u27s rights in bastardy proceedings are in need of protection. It is true that many a defendant is indeed the father of the child; however, the the defendant, be he guilty or innocent, must be upheld. The father may face jail anytime he cannot adequately explain to the court why he had not been making his support payments. Over the years the courts have allowed civil procedure to govern quasi-criminal cases in this area of law. The courts have rationalized their position by emphasizing that the purpose of a bastardy action is solely financial redress. There is a need for the courts to break from their traditional holding and balance the protection of the mother, child,and state with the rights of the fathe

Improving Mental Health Access in a Rural Setting via Telehealth

There are several barriers patients face when accessing mental healthcare in rural areas including: lack of internet, lack of resources, and stigma. Local options are limited, and patients face barriers such as access to transportation. These factors position telehealth as a unique, tangible solution for patients in the community.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1889/thumbnail.jp

Clingfishes (Gobiesocidae) from Belize and Honduras, Central America, with a Redescription of Gobiesox barbatulus Starks

Six marine species and a single freshwater species of clingfish are reported from collections made by the authors in Belize and Honduras, Central America, during the period 1970 through 1980. Acyrtops amplicirrus Briggs, Acyrtus rubiginosus (Poey), and Gobiesox barbatulus Starks are reported for the first time from the western Caribbean and Gobiesox nudus (Linnaeus) is recorded for the first time from Honduras. Acyrtops amplicirrus is tentatively recognized as distinct from A. beryllina (Hildebrand and Ginsburg). Gobiesox barbatulus Starks is distinguished from G. strumosus on the basis of development of barbels on the pre- and suborbital areas, fringing of the dermal flaps on the anterior nostrils, and more numerous and narrow lines radiating from the eye in the case of G. barbatulus. Principal components analysis of 13 morphometric characters resulted in clear separation of the two forms along the first component axis. Both species are mainland forms occurring in turbid and often brackish water. Gobiesox barbatulus is a southern form occurring from Brazil to Belize, G. strumosus is a northern form occurring from Campeche, Mexico to Virginia. The apparent distributional boundary (centered on east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico) between the two agrees with the boundary between the northern and southern continental shorefish faunas recognized by Robins (1971) and Gilbert (1973)

Steel Bridge Fabrication Errors Indexed Examples and Solutions: Combining Rules and Cases

This research focuses on the development of a knowledge-based system in the domain of steel bridge fabrication errors using both rule-based reasoning (RBR) and case-based reasoning (CBR). Fabrication error Indexed and Solutions (FIXS) was developed to combine the benefits of two previous research projects: 1) the rule-based Bridge Fabrication error solution eXpert system (BFX), and 2) its case-based counterpart (CB-BFX). Errors that occur during the fabrication of steel bridg~ members can have a costly effect on the performance of a bridge if not repaired properly. FIXS is an effort to provide guidance to the bridge engineer responsible for cost effective solutions in a time sensitive manner. FIXS is implemented in the programming language PROLOG and runs in the Windows environment as a stand-alone application. RBR facilities are provided by the expert system shell MESS (Modest Expert System Shell). Similarly, CBR functions are provided by the simple case-based reasoner shell SCBR (Simple Case Based Reasoning). The application has been designed for addition of new domain knowledge. The addition of new and updated knowledge allows the application to keep pace with changes in the steel bridge design industry and the methods of repairing errors

Eviota lentiginosa, a new dwarfgoby from Norfolk Island, Australia (Teleostei: Gobiidae).

A new endemic species of dwarfgoby, Eviota lentiginosa n. sp., is described from Norfolk Island, an isolated island 1400 km east of the Australian mainland. The new species is distinguished by having the cephalic sensory-canal pore system with only the IT pore lacking (Pattern 2); a flat, rounded, plate-like male urogenital papilla; the dorsal/anal fin-ray formula 8/8; all pectoral-fin rays apparently unbranched; the fifth pelvic-fin ray absent; a dark spot on the lower half of the pectoral-fin base; and the body color yellow with a peppering of small brown melanophores in life. It is the sixth species of Eviota known from Norfolk Island

Eviota algida, a new dwarfgoby species from the upwelling waters off Nusa Penida, Indonesia (Teleostei: Gobiidae)

A new species of dwarfgoby, Eviota algida, with a complete cephalic sensory-canal pore pattern (pattern I), a dorsal/anal-fin formula usually 8/8, pectoral-fin rays branched, 5th pelvic-fin ray absent, anterior dorsal-fin spines filamentous in males, a subcutaneous dark spot at center of caudal peduncle over preural centrum, male urogenital papilla black, and a red eye with gold specks, is described from a deep, cold-water upwelling area off Nusa Penida Island, Bali, Indonesi

Editorial Comment: Understanding Cost Variation in STD Service Delivery as State and Federal Agencies Reduce Funding

As health reform gains momentum, many changes have been seen in the way health services are delivered and financed. In an attempt to address the uncertainties and understand the costs of delivering STD prevention services, the authors examined the cost of STDs in a highly centralized public health agency system (PHAS). This commentary covers several implications that arise from this study
