UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Sports wagering is the largest form of gambling in the world. In the United States, the practice is largely illegal.

Proponents of the legislation suggest that passage is …

History Theses & Dissertations

The Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA) was created in December 1950 to prepare the civilian population of the United States to survive and recover from a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union and its allies.

In order to evaluate the success of the FCDA's civil defense program, this study will investigate the composition of the FCDA and its public education program.

This study utilized several types of sources in evaluating …

An Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of Pollution Prevention In Reducing Environmental Compliance Costs, Douglas W. Gilpin

Theses and Dissertations

The objective of the Air Force's compliance through pollution prevention (CTP2) program is to reduce overall environmental compliance (EC) cost and risk (compliance burden) associated with maintaining compliance at an installation through increased pollution prevention (P2) efforts. However, no quantifiable evidence has been produced that suggests P2 projects are actually reducing compliance burden. Therefore, this research attempts to determine if projects categorized as P2 truly reduce compliance burden. This research demonstrated that, under the current burden calculation methodology, the compliance Site inventory data should not be used to measure or track compliance burden reductions. The time value of money, net …
