These goals are tightly coupled in that the usefulness of the database and the ability to develop effective interfaces and user-aiding concepts will be the true test of the CSE framework. The report is most …

Victory By Design: War, Information, And Cognitive Systems Engineering, John M. Flach, Gilbert G. Kuperman

Psychology Faculty Publications

This report discusses the new field of cognitive systems engineering (CSE) and explores the applicability of the CSE paradigm to the domain of information warfare (IW). CSE's goal is the application and design integration of information technology (including both human and automated information processing systems) to facilitate work. CSE defines work as effort to move through a problem space to achieve specific objectives. Information warfare represents a work domain where the effective management of information must incorporate the effective utilization of rapid advances in technology (e.g., sensors, communications, and display devices). The report examines IW and Basic Air Force Doctrine …

Zebra Image Access System, Srilekha Mudumbai, Kshitij Shah, Amit P. Sheth, Krishnan Parasuraman, Clemens Bertram

Kno.e.sis Publications

The ZEBRA system, which is part of the VisualHarness platform for managing heterogeneous data, supports three types of access to distributed image repositories: keyword based, attribute based, and image content based. A user can assign different weights (relative importance) to each of the three types, and within the last type of access, to each of the image properties. The image based access component (IBAC) supports access based on computable image properties such as those based on spatial domain, frequency domain or statistical and structural analysis. However, it uses a novel black box approach of utilizing a Visual Information Retrieval (VIR) …

Interest Based Bargaining And The Japanese Management Style: Two Models For Cooperation In The Workplace, D. R. Fannin

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

Dealing with conflict between workers and managers is an ongoing concern for management specialists. Models have been introduced to help manage the conflict in the workplace. Two are examined in this thesis; Interest Based Bargaining and the Japanese Management Style. Both models seek to lessen the conflict in the workplace by utilizing problem solving tools and communication tools that will provide a balance of the control that governs the work process. Both models will find success difficult because the tendency of American managers is to resist empowering workers because they fear that empowering workers will result in decreased productivity that …

The Economics Of Projection Tube Production In The America Matsushita Electronics Company: A Case Study, Hirofumi Tanaka

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The sales of big screen projection television (PTV) have been increasing rapidly and will continue to increase since there is no economically feasible substitute for PTV. In 2002, annual sales are forecasted to be 70 percent more than in 1997. Therefore, the demand for projection tubes (major components of PTVs) is also expected to increase as much as the sales of PTV.

Matsushita Electronics Company (MEC), the second largest projection tube producer, relocated their projection tube plant from Japan to the U.S.(AMEC) in order to increase its sales by conforming to NAFTA regulation. This plant relocation will also enable MEC …

Banking Sector Reform In China, Linhai Pu

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The purpose of this research is to study the banking sector reform in China, its problems, its current situation, and its future direction. The banking system is at the heart of reforms which China is attempting to initiate the future consolidation of rapid economic growth initiated in the 1980s. The need for wide-ranging reform both of the monetary policy and of the state banking system is due to the excesses of the 1980s expansionary phase. As the channels of financing and o f credit allocation has become somewhat obsolete compared to reforms in the real sector o f the economy, …

Economic Development In China: Analysis Of Foreign Trade And Domestic Issues, Terry Lee Schau

China has become a major player in the global economy. At the current pace, this economy will eventually become the dominant force on the international scene.

However, with the proper implementation of policies, China can avoid these threats and ensure positive economic performance for the future.

Strictly Level-Decreasing Logic Programs, Pascal Hitzler, Anthony K. Seda

Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications

We study strictly level-decreasing logic programs (sld-programs) as defined earlier by the present authors. It will be seen that sld-programs, unlike most other classes of logic programs, have both a highly intuitive declarative semantics, given as a unique supported model, and are computationally adequate in the sense that every partial recursive function can be represented by some sld-program P. Allowing for a safe use of cuts, an interpreter based on SLDNF-resolution, as implemented for example in standard Prolog systems, is shown to be sound and complete with respect to this class of programs. Furthermore, we study connections between topological …

Wright State University Center For Economic Education Marketing Survey, Marcia Evers

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

In October 1997, Wright State University’s Center for Economic Education administered a survey to 1,246 primary and secondary school teachers within the Center’s 15-county designated service area. The target population of the survey consisted of those teachers that incorporate economic concepts and principles in their classroom curriculum. The primary purpose of the survey was to identify the reasons why enrollments for the Center’s courses were low and what could potentially be done to increase them. The results of the survey indicated that the low enrollment rates for the Center were mainly due to the need for increased advertising of the …

An Evaluation Of The Causes Of Urban Poverty In America: A Cross Section Analysis, Juan Loredo

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

In this study, I analyze and evaluate the determinants of poverty rate differentials among 77 urban centers in the United States, as described by Isabel Sawhill (1988). The regression results show that demographic changes, education, welfare programs, unemployment rates, per capita income and income inequality are the most important factors that have a strong statistical link to urban poverty rates. Based on my analysis, the crime rate is not a statistically significant determinant of the rate of poverty among American families.
