A Comparison Of The Naval Air Systems Command Model Iii Method With The United States Air Force Repair Level Analysis Method Of Level Of Repair Analysis For Recommendation Of A Lora Methodology On The Joint Service V-22 Osprey Program, John David Driessnack

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

In the past 30 years Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) has been developed within the Department of Defense (DoD). The LORA process, outlined in the new Military Standard (MIL-STD) 1390D, is required to be accomplished in each DoD weapon system acquisition program. The Standard outlines 13 different service peculiar models. The Joint V-22 Program must determine an effective LORA methodology that appropriately considers Service unique requirements while limiting the need to run both the NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND (NAVAIRSYSCOM) Model III and the Air Force RLA methods of LORA. The two methods, compared by relating …

Getting Domestic Technology Transfer On Track, Donovan O'Neil Robinson

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The confluence of the recession and end of the Cold War has brought the issue of technology transfer to the forefront of national debate. Each of these significant events is challenging by itself but together they are greater than the sum of the parts. At the center of technology transfer debate is the U.S. laboratory system. A de-emphasis on defense related R&D coupled with a move toward commercial applications is the predominant policy choice to strengthen America’s international competitiveness. This paper examines technology transfer from the Department of Energy to the private sector as reported in "Fossil Energy: From Laboratory …

Symmetric Noncooperative Models Of Innovation: A Simulation Study, Noel Mckinney

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This paper examines two symmetric noncooperative models of innovation: the model by Loury (1979) and the model by Lee and Wilde (1980). In the Loury model, investment in research and development is treated as an "up front" expenditure, while in the Lee and Wilde model the investment in research and development is treated as an ongoing expenditure flow that occurs throughout the research and development process. The effect that rivalry from competing firms has on the research and development investment of a given firm is studied through simulations using the two models. The simulations show that the relationship between research …

Documentation For Economics 210 And 330, Elizabeth R. Da Costa

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

For my internship project for the M.S. degree in Economics, I propose to teach the courses Economics 210 and Economics 330 at Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio, during the Winter Quarter, 1992. As it is necessary for Dr. Peter Iwomi, Acting Chairperson for the Department of Economics, to be away from the campus during the first four weeks of the quarter, I have been hired to teach those two Economics courses in his absence. Upon Dr. Iwomi's return, I shall continue teaching the Economics 210, Microeconomics course, but will assist with the Economics 330, Intermediate Microeconomics course, as necessary.

A Quarterly Income Tax Revenue Forecasting Model For The City Of Fairborn Ohio, Mark Thomas Fraley

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The Fairborn econometric income tax revenue forecasting model developed establishes a connection between conditions in the local, regional, and national economy and the variance of income tax collections. The model was designed to meet as many of the criteria stated in the Foster Group's Assessment as possible, while still holding to economic theory and econometric modeling procedures. In the model, variation in the predictor variables account for 97% of the variation in income tax collections. Several statistical tests were conducted on the model to insure efficient and unbiased results.

In demonstrating the forecasting procedures for the model, assumptions for high, …

Documentation For Econ 199, Kang Lang Lee

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This internship report consists of the materials and techniques that I prepared for teaching the two sessions of ECON 199, an introductory undergraduate Economics course, at the University of Findlay, Findlay, Ohio.

My primary objective in teaching these classes was to make economics courses interesting by introducing students to the basic economic concepts, providing them a better picture of how the economy performs, and showing them how to analyze and solve current economic problems.
