Where To Prosecute Cybercrimes
Selecting the appropriate venue for a criminal trial has been a matter of constitutional concern since the founding of the country. The issue is thought to be essential to the fair administration of justice and thus public confidence in the criminal justice system. Constitutionally, crimes must be prosecuted in the states and districts in which they were committed. However, the rise of cybercrime has complicated the venue inquiry: cyberspace, the domain of cybercrime, and physical space have become increasingly decoupled. Consequently, under America’s primary but dated cybercrime law, the ideal location for a trial may not be a constitutionally proper venue. This Note explores several possible approaches to permitting cybercrime trials to take place in the locations where they belong, including through an old but recently revisited judicially-created test for venue and through possible legislative reform

A Fruitful College Campus Ministry: A Mixed-Method Case Study of Vassar Christian Fellowship at Vassar College
Given the increased scrutiny and difficulty Christian student organizations are encountering on secular college campuses, study is needed to aid in forming a way forward for fruitful campus ministry. This article presents a case study of a student campus ministry that is currently thriving in its secular liberal arts environment. It utilized a mixed-method approach to discover seven factors that led to vibrancy for Vassar Christian Fellowship, a student ministry at Vassar College. Application is focused on campus ministries and local churches
K-ary n-cube based off-chip communications architecture for high-speed packet processors
A k-ary n-cube interconnect architecture is proposed, as an off-chip communications architecture for line cards, to increase the throughput of the currently used memory system. The k-ary n-cube architecture allows multiple packet processing elements on a line card to access multiple memory modules. The main advantage of the proposed architecture is that it can sustain current line rates and higher while distributing the load among multiple memories. Moreover, the proposed interconnect can scale to adopt more memories and/or processors and as a result increasing the line card processing power. Our results portray that k-ary n-cube sustained higher incoming traffic load while keeping latency lower than its shared-bus competitor. © 2005 IEEE
Tunable superconducting critical temperature in ballistic hybrid structures with strong spin-orbit coupling
We present a theoretical description and numerical simulations of the
superconducting transition in hybrid structures including strong spin-orbit
interactions. The spin-orbit coupling is taken to be of Rashba type for
concreteness, and we allow for an arbitrary magnitude of the spin-orbit
strength as well as an arbitrary thickness of the spin-orbit coupled layer.
This allows us to make contact with the experimentally relevant case of
enhanced interfacial spin-orbit coupling via atomically thin heavy metal
layers. We consider both interfacial spin-orbit coupling induced by inversion
asymmetry in an S/F-junction, as well as in-plane spin-orbit coupling in the
ferromagnetic region of an S/F/S- and an S/F-structure. Both the pair
amplitudes, local density of states and critical temperature show dependency on
the Rashba strength and, importantly, the orientation of the exchange field. In
general, spin-orbit coupling increases the critical temperature of a proximity
system where a magnetic field is present, and enhances the superconducting gap
in the density of states. We perform a theoretical derivation which explains
these results by the appearance of long-ranged singlet correlations. Our
results suggest that in ballistic spin-orbit coupled superconducting
structures may be tuned by using only a single ferromagnetic layer.Comment: 14 pages, 14 figures. Published in PR
