This article will introduce an approach to teaching legal research called Expansive Legal Research. The Expansive Legal Research perspective is based upon dissertation research on legal information behavior at a law school legal aid clinic. This approach is inspired by an educational perspective called Expansive Learning, which in turn has roots in the psychological theory called Activity Theor...

The firing rates of neurons in the central visual pathway vary with stimulus strength, but not necessarily in a linear manner. In the contrast domain, the neural response function for cells in the primary visual cortex is characterized by expansive and compressive nonlinearities at low and high contrasts, respectively. A compressive nonlinearity at high contrast is also found for early visual p...

Expansive soils are often encountered in many parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid fields. Such kind of soils, generally including active clay minerals in low water content, enlarge in volume by absorbing the water through the surface and cause a great harm to the light structures such as channel coating, roads and airports. The expansive soils were encountered on the path of Ap...

A homeomorphism f : X → X of a compactum X with metric d is expansive if there is c > 0 such that if x, y ∈ X and x 6= y, then there is an integer n ∈ Z such that d(fn(x), fn(y)) > c. A homeomorphism f : X → X is continuum-wise expansive if there is c > 0 such that if A is a nondegenerate subcontinuum of X, then there is an integer n ∈ Z such that diam fn(A) > c. Clearly, every expansive homeom...

we reported a 35 year old breast cancer patient who was referred to our nuclear medicine department for sentinel node mapping. she was planned to undergo mastectomy and lymphatic mapping. a dose of tc-99m phytate was injection in the peri-areolar region in an intra-dermal fashion. two hours post-injection no sentinel node was visible in the axilla. due to a high liver uptake, inadvertent intra-...
