Law is a powerful tool that can advance health and well-being. By developing and promoting the measurement and evaluation of the law’s impact, through the field of legal epidemiology, we strive to support evidence-based, proactive, and creative policies that advance public health and well-being for all.

Sergio E. Serrano1 Abstract: The propagation of flood waves in rivers is governed by the Saint Venant equations. Under certain simplifying assumptions, these nonlinear equations have been solved numerically via computationally intensive, specialized software. There is a cogent need for simple analytical solutions for preliminary analyses. In this paper, new approximate analytical solutions to ...

Sadly, it can be the rare witness who does not come with some baggage – a criminal conviction, a potential bias, an inconsistent statement, or some other challenge to her/his credibility. So, the proponent of that witness has to make a choice – bring it out first, or simply wait for the sting of cross-examination. The suggestion of this article is to do the former, a technique supported by ...

Abstract NAND flash-based SSDs suffer from limited lifetime due to the fact that NAND flash can only be programmed or erased for limited times. Among various approaches to address this problem, we propose to reduce the number of writes to the flash via exploiting the content locality between the write data and its corresponding old version in the flash. This content locality means, the new ...

Expert evidence provides a much needed contribution to the courts in administering justice. Understanding the way humans think and how the brain processes information offers insights to circumstances in which even expert evidence may be influenced by contextual information and cognitive bias. Cognitive science can identify such potential weaknesses and suggest practical ways to mitigate them.

ABSTRACT In this work, we present SilentSense, a framework to authenticate users silently and transparently by exploiting the user touch behav-ior biometrics and leveraging the integrated sensors to capture the micro-movement of the device caused by user’s screen-touch ac-tions. By tracking the fine-detailed touch actions of the user, we build a “touch-based biometrics” model of the ...

Among the difficulties in the implementation of the Green and Ampt model are the accurate estimation of the time to ponding conditions (Mein and Larson 1973), and the fact that the Green and Ampt equation gives the cumulative infiltration implicitly in terms of time. To use the equation, the hydrologist must use iteration to calculate the time, t, for a selected value of the cumulative ...

Registered index-linked annuities (RILAs) are increasingly popular equity-based re-tirement savings products o ered by U.S. life insurance companies. They combine features of xed-index annuities and traditional variable annuities (TVAs), o ering in-vestors equity exposure with downside protection in a tax-deferred setting. This article introduces RILAs to the academic literature by describing ...
