Evaluation Of Work Motivation Factors Among Management And Employees In Food And Beverage Departments In International Tourist Hotels In Taiwan, Pearl Lin
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Perceptional inconsistencies have the potential for creating barriers to motivational development because management may not be responsive to employee needs. An absence of a convergence in perceptions may increase employee turnover, thus creating a liability to the company. In order to increase the employee retention rate, greater insight was needed for understanding work motivational factors. The purpose of this research has been to evaluate the perceptions of management and employees on work motivation factors relative to their importance. Methodology and data analysis are included. Lastly, conclusions of the research findings and suggestions for further studies are discussed.
Development, Modeling, Testing And Evaluation Of Vibration Attenuating Gloves, Douglas James Weaver
Development, Modeling, Testing And Evaluation Of Vibration Attenuating Gloves, Douglas James Weaver
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Gloves that attenuate vibration above approximately 25 Hz and that exceed the characteristics of standard viscous-elastic, neoprene based gloves have been developed using an air bladder system in the palm and fingers of a gLove Testing was performed on a variety of viscous-elastic gloves currently marketed to obtain the ratio of energy leaving the handle of a vibrating device and the energy entering the hand. Several, simple rectangular air bladders of varying thickness were developed and tested for their vibration attenuating characteristics. A four degree-of-freedom, lumped-parameter model of the vibration response of the human hand and bladder was developed using …

Adaptive Sorting Algorithms For Evaluation Of Automatic Zoning, G. S Rajarathinam
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) involves analysis of machine-printed and hand written document images. The first step in an OCR process is to locate the text to be recognized on a page. An OCR device tries to identify the characters in these text regions and outputs the characters in ASCII. To evaluate the performance of any OCR device, the ASCII output of the OCR device is compared with the ground truth text which is entered into the computer manually; Some OCR devices provide the users with automatic zoning. The output of any automatic zoning algorithm has to be corrected manually to …
Evaluation Of Key Factors In Transportation Risk Analysis, Krishnapriya Madhavapeddi
Evaluation Of Key Factors In Transportation Risk Analysis, Krishnapriya Madhavapeddi
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Pursuant to the enactment of federal legislation, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is presently evaluating Yucca Mountain as a candidate site for a repository to store spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLRW). Risk analyses could be used to support transportation decisions (such as route and mode selection) pertaining to the repository program; The purpose of this study is to develop a procedure to facilitate comparative transportation risk assessment. A case study of Lincoln County, Nevada is used to discuss the significance of key input data required to support such risk analysis. A methodology was developed to …
Evaluation Of Ultrasound Method For Determining Aggregate Gradations In Asphaltic Concrete Mixes, Michael Robert Dunning
Evaluation Of Ultrasound Method For Determining Aggregate Gradations In Asphaltic Concrete Mixes, Michael Robert Dunning
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a geotechnical method, ultrasound, to detect aggregate gradation differences in asphaltic concrete pavements. Empirical data had previously been used to suggest that the more coarse the gradation, the less incidence's of rutting. It is my thesis that the more coarse the gradation, the higher the velocity of a sound wave through the asphalt concrete. This being the case, the velocity measure can be used in a design or field quality control procedure as a correlation to a performance test to choose a coarse gradation that has non-rutting field performance properties. Tests were …
Factors In Faculty Evaluation Procedures In Community Colleges, Richard Lee Mcgee
Factors In Faculty Evaluation Procedures In Community Colleges, Richard Lee Mcgee
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Two hundred forty-seven community colleges in ten states were studied through survey analysis to determine the nature of faculty evaluation procedures employed in those schools. Further, data on external factors affecting evaluations, such as the existence of collective bargaining agreements, missions of the institutions, and school enrollment were collected and analyzed; The survey found that teaching was the major focus of evaluation procedures, and that student evaluations were by far the most popular means of assessing faculty performance. Faculty's service to the college was next in importance to administrators, with other areas, such as community service or participation in professional …
The Development And Formative Evaluation Of An Interactive, Multimedia, Multimethod, Simulation On Teacher Evaluation, Corean Robinson Mayorga
The Development And Formative Evaluation Of An Interactive, Multimedia, Multimethod, Simulation On Teacher Evaluation, Corean Robinson Mayorga
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The goal of this dissertation was to produce a prototype interactive, multimedia simulation that could be used by an instructor as an experience medium in bridging theory of teacher evaluation with practice. Nine administrative skills found to be frequently a part of the school administrators day by the NASSP were used as guidelines in designing the environment for the realism of the simulation; The simulation consists of three main segments in a video format that closely follow the Clinical Supervision Model of Teacher Evaluation. Options and variations for the simulation include teacher selection, several realistic administrative decision-making problems, teacher rating, …
