Although provisions requiring nursing facility residents to agree to mandatory pre-dispute arbitration are now ubiquitous, many courts have refused to enforce these provisions and have adopted a variety of legal arguments to do so. Arbitration can be expensive and biased in favor of the nursing facility. It limits access to courts, discovery, available remedies and precedential value of decisio...

and efficient arbitration is a key issue for high performance. In this paper, an arbitration scheme based on interference of wave is proposed. In this scheme, home node sends out multiple tokens in different frequencies, and nodes that are competing for bus can capture token by sending out wave that cancels its specific wave token. In this scheme, speed-of-light arbitration can be achieved, and...

International arbitration procedures have become more and more costly and time consuming both for the arbitrators and the parties. Therefore, some specifi c procedural options have developed “fi nal offer arbitration” (FOA) and “sealed offer arbitration”which, alongside with their numerous advantages, actually lead to some new problems. The article discusses those advantages and disadvantages o...

Rex Lee [email protected] Abstract An improved version of stream arbitration based on multiband RF interconnect (MRFI) is proposed. Thanks to the simultaneous multiple channel transmitting/receiving feature of MRFI, dynamic bandwidth allocation is achieved in the proposed arbitration algorithm. With dynamic bandwidth allocation, MRFI based arbitration can guarantee 100% channel bandwidth u...

This article explores the theoretical and behavioral impact of conventional arbitration and final-offer arbitration (FOA) when parties are bargaining over an uncertain value. In this context, one player receives a fixed payment while the other player receives the uncertain residual. Although both forms of arbitration have identically sized contract zones, we show theoretically that in FOA the c...

Most investment treaties contain two dispute resolution clauses: one permitting investor-state arbitration for investment disputes and the other permitting state-to-state arbitration for disputes concerning the treaty’s interpretation and/or application. Despite this duality, the potential role of state-to-state arbitration, and its proper relationship with investor-state arbitration, have larg...

Switch design for interconnection networks plays an important role in the overall performance of multiprocessors and computer networks. In this paper we study the impact of one parameter in the switch design space, link arbitration. We demonstrate that link arbitration can be a determining factor in the performance of current networks. Moreover, we expect increased research focus on arbitration...

In this article we implement a stochastic modeling technique for simulating the communication between processors and arbitration among buses for an embedded SoC. The stochastic models implemented with queues have been used to estimate, through simulation of different arbitration policies, the power consumption and delays, as well as estimate average or worst case scenarios that could occur with...

This paper suggests that the institutional basis necessary to support efficient intemational trade is provided not only by treaties among national governments but also by international coalitions of private agents. International commercial arbitration is an important example of these private coalitions. The paper reviews the provisions and the practice of international arbitration, and presents...
