Patterns Of Isozyme Variation In Relation To Population Size, Isolation, And Phytogeographic History In Royal Catchfly, Rebecca W. Dolan
Patterns Of Isozyme Variation In Relation To Population Size, Isolation, And Phytogeographic History In Royal Catchfly, Rebecca W. Dolan
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The distribution of genetic variation within and among plant populations is influenced by both contemporary and historical factors. I used isozyme analysis of band phenotypes to examine genetic structure in the rare prairie forb Silene regia. Relationships between current-day population size, isolation, and phenotypic variation were assessed for 18 populations in two regions with differing postglacial history. Western populations from unglaciated southern Missouri and Arkansas were more genetically diverse based on the Shannon-Weaver index (H) and a polymorphic index than were more eastern populations. These differences may be due to loss of variation with repeated founding of new populations in …
Polylog Depth Circuits For Integer Factoring And Discrete Logarithms, Jonathan P. Sorenson
Polylog Depth Circuits For Integer Factoring And Discrete Logarithms, Jonathan P. Sorenson
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
AbstractIn this paper, we develop parallel algorithms for integer factoring and for computing discrete logarithms. In particular, we give polylog depth probabilistic boolean circuits of subexponential size for both of these problems, thereby solving an open problem of Adleman and Kompella.
Existing sequential algorithms for integer factoring and discrete logarithms use a prime base which is the set of all primes up to a bound B. We use a much smaller value for B for our parallel algorithms than is typical for sequential algorithms. In particular, for inputs of length n, by setting B = nlogdn with d a positive …
Peer Control In The Industrial Workplace, Jay R. Howard
Peer Control In The Industrial Workplace, Jay R. Howard
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This case study of Kleer Windows, a firm which manufactures doors and windows for the recreational vehicles industry argues that the influence of the work group can under certain conditions be harnessed by management in their attempts to control workers. Peer control exists when co- workers seek to monitor and influence each others level of productivity. Data were collected during three summers of ethnographic research. A comparison of the control systems utilized in the production, shipping, and receiving departments at Kleer Windows reveals that peer control is likely to stimulate, rather than inhibit, productivity when two conditions exist. First, when …

Vilifying The Enemy: The Christian Right And The Novels Of Frank Peretti, Jay R. Howard
Vilifying The Enemy: The Christian Right And The Novels Of Frank Peretti, Jay R. Howard
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Peretti's novels provide a clear statement of the worldview of conservative Christians who hold the Bible to be literally true and without error. Not only is the reader presented with doctrinal positions, but the implications of those positions for life in modern society are spelled out as well. In this essay, I analyze Peretti's views of the modern world, its heroes and villains, and argue they are representative of the views of the New Christian Right (Liebman and Wuthnow) in the late 1980s and the 1990s.
Hermann Cohen’S Political Philosophy And The Communitarian Critique Of Liberalism, Harry Van Der Linden
Hermann Cohen’S Political Philosophy And The Communitarian Critique Of Liberalism, Harry Van Der Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
My main aim here is to examine what the significance is of the communitarian critique of liberalism for Hermann Cohen's political philosophy. I will conclude that Cohen's socialist Kantianism can successfully meet this critique. Also, I will argue that his political philosophy can better deal with some of the problems that communitarians detect in our Western democracies than can communitarianism itself. One crucial reason for this is that Cohen completes the original Kantian liberal project by making all agents fully autonomous in the economic sphere.
A Framework For Assessing Product Innovation Strategies In A Competitive Context, Patrick Rondeau, B. J. Bhatt
A Framework For Assessing Product Innovation Strategies In A Competitive Context, Patrick Rondeau, B. J. Bhatt
Scholarship and Professional Work - Business
The development of new products capable of satisfying customer demands on a timely basis has become a priority for firms seeking to improve their competitive advantage in a global context. However, this challenge has become highly complex due to a growing diversity of both products and processes, higher costs, and unprecedented considerations for quality and service. Despite knowing a great deal about both the characteristics of successful firms and new product development processes, little is known regarding requisite guidelines for successful strategies in product development.
Managing Costs Through Structural Re-Arrangement Of Hospitals: An Activity Based Management Perspective, W. Lee, Sakthi Mahenthiran
Managing Costs Through Structural Re-Arrangement Of Hospitals: An Activity Based Management Perspective, W. Lee, Sakthi Mahenthiran
Scholarship and Professional Work - Business
We examine a structural deficiency in the healthcare system that hinders implementation of a meaningful cost accounting system, and suggest an alternative organizational arragement that can facilitate introducing cost control mechanisms. We argue that hospitals need structural rearrangement so that cost-driving activities can be traced, and their costs allocated to responsibility centers. We suggest that this structural rearrangement is a precondition for implementing any meaningful activity-based cost management system. We also suggest a basic framework for value analysis of activities for healthcare providers, and discuss how this framework can be used as a vehicle for controlling diagnostic costs.

For many investigators in radiology, one of the most frustrating steps of conducting research is the search for funding sources.
Cohen's Socialist Reconstruction Of Kant's Ethics, Harry Van Der Linden
Cohen's Socialist Reconstruction Of Kant's Ethics, Harry Van Der Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The neo-Kantian Hermann Cohen (1842-1918) famously wrote that Kant “is the true and real originator of German socialism.” This paper seeks to explicate Cohen’s socialist reconstruction of Kant’s ethics and show that this reconstruction overcomes some weaknesses of Kant’s ethics. In conclusion, the paper discusses the contemporary relevance of Cohen’s cooperative socialism.
The Clute Holotypes And The Herbarium Of Willard Nelson Clute In The Friesner Herbarium Of Butler University, Rebecca W. Dolan
The Clute Holotypes And The Herbarium Of Willard Nelson Clute In The Friesner Herbarium Of Butler University, Rebecca W. Dolan
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The herbarium of Willard Nelson Clute is housed in the Friesner Herbarium (BUT). Clute, co-founder of the American Fern Society, was a staff member at Butler University in the 1920's and 30's. His collection of ferns and fern allies from the tum of the century is significant for its selected regional coverage and for type specimens of taxa described by Clute and other fern specialists of the day.
Why There Can't Be A Logic Of Induction, Stuart Glennan
Why There Can't Be A Logic Of Induction, Stuart Glennan
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Carap's attempt to develop an inductive logic has been criticized on a variety of grounds, and while there may be some philosophers who believe that difficulties with Carnap's approach can be overcome by further elaborations and modifications of his system, I think it is fair to say that the consensus is that the approach as a whole cannot succeed. In writing a paper on problems with inductive logic (and with Carnap's approach in particular), I might therefore be accused of beating a dead horse. However, there are still some (e.g., Spirtes, Glymour and Scheines 1993) who seem to believe that …

Whip, Whipped, And Doctors: Homer's Illiad And Camus' The Plague, Paula Saffire
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Albert Camus in The Plague gives a pressing, pitilessly clear description of plague conditions:' We are all locked in a city. The gates are closed. The plague rages inside. The only question is, who will die first? This is the situation in Camus' town of Oran; it is also the situation of the Trojans in Homer's Illiad. And finally, it is the situation of human life.'
Effects Of A Prescribed Burn On Tree- And Herb-Layer Vegetation In A Post Oak (Quercus Stellata) Dominated Flatwoods, Rebecca W. Dolan
Effects Of A Prescribed Burn On Tree- And Herb-Layer Vegetation In A Post Oak (Quercus Stellata) Dominated Flatwoods, Rebecca W. Dolan
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Post oak flatwoods are an unusual plant community type dominated by even-aged and uniformly sized post oaks (Quercus stellata) growing along level terraces of the Ohio River. Historical evidence exists that fire may play a role in the maintenance of the open canopy and poorly-developed understory characteristic of this community type (Dolan and Menges. 1989). The results of summer vegetation surveys taken yearly from 1989 to 1992 in a post oak flatwoods in southwestern Indiana that was subjected to a prescribed bum in the spring of 1989 are reported in this paper. The objective of the study was to determine …
