Determinant Criteria In The Ocean Carrier Selection Process, R Stephen Parker, John L. Kent
Determinant Criteria In The Ocean Carrier Selection Process, R Stephen Parker, John L. Kent
Journal of Transportation Management
This study examines key determinant criteria used by import and export shippers when selecting an international containership carrier. A sample of import and export shippers were asked to evaluate eighteen service characteristics based on whether or not the characteristics were required by their international containership carriers. The results of Pearson chi-square tests indicate a significant difference between import shippers and export shippers on three of the eighteen service characteristics. Import shippers were more demanding of their carriers by requiring door-to-door transportation rates, shipment expediting, and shipment tracing services.

Automatic Replenishment: The Relationship Between Resource Commitment And Program Performance, Alexander E. Ellinger, Patricia J. Daugherty, Chad W. Autry
Automatic Replenishment: The Relationship Between Resource Commitment And Program Performance, Alexander E. Ellinger, Patricia J. Daugherty, Chad W. Autry
Journal of Transportation Management
Some firms have adopted a new approach to order fulfillment, i.e., automatic inventory replenishment. With automatic replenishment programs (ARPs), sellers replenish or restock inventory based upon actual product usage and stock level information provided by buyers. This paper reports on a recent survey of logistics professionals regarding .ARP involvement. In addition to providing a profile of current usage, the research also examines the relationship between investment in automatic replenishment related resources and .ARP performance. Firms making a greater commitment to ARP (in terms of resource allocation) reported enhanced day-to-day operational performance and greater success in the overall performance of the …
Assessing The Impact Of The Shortage Of Aviation Maintenance Technicians On Air Transportation, Blaise P. Waguespack Jr., Aleksandar Savic Jr., James S. Baker
Assessing The Impact Of The Shortage Of Aviation Maintenance Technicians On Air Transportation, Blaise P. Waguespack Jr., Aleksandar Savic Jr., James S. Baker
Journal of Transportation Management
Global aviation activity is poised for a decade of sustained growth. While economic difficulties are a fact of life in the aviation transportation industry, the future demand for aviation transportation services is promising. One factor that may greatly dampen this projected growth may be the lack of qualified aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) necessary to keep the air transport fleet flying. This investigation examines the future of global aviation activity while presenting factors impacting the corresponding lack of growth in the AMT population that threaten the future of air transportation.
Twenty Years Of Airline Deregulation: The Impact On Outlying Small Communities, J Richard Jones
Twenty Years Of Airline Deregulation: The Impact On Outlying Small Communities, J Richard Jones
Journal of Transportation Management
Many rural communities over the years have had to endure reduced levels of scheduled transportation services to the point that some have indeed experienced a cessation of services. Accompanying the deregulation of airlines in 1978 was the expressed fear that transportation services would continue to spiral downward and various communities would lose their population bases. This study investigates the two decades of airline deregulation and the impact that that 1978 legislation has had on small communities that are situated 100 air miles or more from any hub airport. Chief among the findings are: (1) that service levels have indeed deteriorated …
Mergers And Alliances In The Liner Shipping Industry: An Historical Perspective, David A. Menachof, Anthony Damian
Mergers And Alliances In The Liner Shipping Industry: An Historical Perspective, David A. Menachof, Anthony Damian
Journal of Transportation Management
This article chronicles the history of mergers and alliances in the liner shipping industry during the past century before focusing on the latest wave of mergers to hit the industry Each merger wave in the liner shipping industry generally coincided with merger waves from the general industrial world. The incentive for each wave of mergers seemed to be different, with the most recent wave focusing on synergy between the merging companies. The reduction of competing firms through mergers has implications for the shipper and these are also examined.

An Information-Theoretical Approach To The Adaptive Segmentation And Classification Of The Sleeping Electroencephalogram, Russell James Clark
An Information-Theoretical Approach To The Adaptive Segmentation And Classification Of The Sleeping Electroencephalogram, Russell James Clark
Wayne State University Dissertations
Sleep is not a single homogeneous state; it consists of several identifiable states. The states are identified by the electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram, and the electromyogram. The most common classification method consists of six classes labeled: wake, stage 1 through 4, and stage REM. A fixed length of data, usually 20 or 30 second epochs, are analyzed and placed in one of the six categories. An all-nigh sleep recording consists of 900 to 1500 such epochs and the task of scoring a record is tedious. Additionally, much of the detail in the EEG is lost due to the size of the …

Neurosurgery Faculty Publications
The temporal pattern of apoptosis in the adult rat brain after lateral fluid-percussion (FP) brain injury was characterized using terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated biotindUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) histochemistry and agarose gel electrophoresis. Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to brain injury and killed for histological analysis at intervals from 12 hr to 2 months after injury (n = 3/time point). Sham (uninjured) controls were subjected to anesthesia with (n = 3) or without (n = 3) surgery. Apoptotic TUNEL-positive cells were defined using stringent morphological criteria including nuclear shrinkage and fragmentation and condensation of chromatin and cytoplasm. Double-labeled immunocytochemistry was performed …

An Exploratory Analysis Of Factors Driving Intermodal Transportation Usage, Philip T. Evers, Carol J. Emerson
An Exploratory Analysis Of Factors Driving Intermodal Transportation Usage, Philip T. Evers, Carol J. Emerson
Journal of Transportation Management
The purpose of this study is to investigate certain aspects of a transportation choice model proposed by Krapfel and Mentzer (1982) pertaining to the influence of shipper perceptions on the selection of a mode. Specifically, this study attempts to identify the impact that shipper perceptions of intermodal and over-the-road truck service, as well as other characteristics of the shipper, have on intermodal usage. The research findings support the notion that shipper perceptions affect modal usage and indicate areas in which intermodal providers should focus their attention to improve intermodal usage.
Union Pacific/Southern Pacific Merger: Impact On Shippers, Paul D. Larson, H Barry Spraggins
Union Pacific/Southern Pacific Merger: Impact On Shippers, Paul D. Larson, H Barry Spraggins
Journal of Transportation Management
In the Summer of ‘96, Union Pacific Railroad merged with Southern Pacific to create the largest American railroad. Controversy continues to surround the merger. This paper reports results of a recent merger-impact survey. Survey respondents were rail and intermodal shippers. Among the interesting research findings are the following: (1) while shippers report a negative impact due to less rail competition, trackage rights granted to Burlington Northern/Santa Fe have failed to dampen this impact; (2) railroad service has deteriorated, but freight rates have remained stable; and (3) service problems are more severe for rail, as opposed to TOFC/COFC, shippers.

Some Propositions Regarding Rail-Truck Intermodal: An Empirical Analysis, Paul R. Murphy, James M. Daley
Some Propositions Regarding Rail-Truck Intermodal: An Empirical Analysis, Paul R. Murphy, James M. Daley
Journal of Transportation Management
Using data compiled from a recent of businesses located in a major metropolitan area, the present paper evaluates a series of propositions concerning rail-truck intermodal. In general, the study results tend to support the various propositions, and key findings suggest that users and nonusers of intermodal transportation have different perceptions about the quality of, and barriers to, intermodal service.

Truck Driver Turnover: An Internal Marketing Perspective, Susan Lee Taylor, Robert M. Cosenza
Journal of Transportation Management
Carriers and industry analysts agree that driver turnover is the largest problem facingthe industry today. Truck drivers regularly move from one trucking company to another or they change to careers out of the industry. Opinions for high driver turnover are diverse, such as long hours and extended time away from home, poor advancement opportunities, a lack of respect, and old/uncomfortable equipment. In this article the authors examine the truck driver turnover problem from an internal marketing perspective. Membership, socialization, identity, structural, interpersonal, and environmental issues are examined as primary influences on desired quality of truck driver employment. Suggestions are made …

Intermediate- To High-Energy Positrons Scattered By Alkali-Metal Atoms, David D. Reid, J. M. Wadehra
Intermediate- To High-Energy Positrons Scattered By Alkali-Metal Atoms, David D. Reid, J. M. Wadehra
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research Publications
We present calculations of the differential, integrated elastic, and total cross sections for positrons scattered from alkali-metal atoms. The energy of the positrons ranges from 10 eV to 1000 eV. In the calculations we use parameter-free model potentials for the correlation-polarization and absorption interactions. The absorption potential used for positron scattering is based on a quasifree model that we recently proposed and tested for the noble-gas targets. For positron–alkali-metal scattering the model potentials have produced reliable scattering cross sections over the extended range of impact energies when compared against the available experimental data.
