Segmenting The Commercial Producer Marketplace For Agricultural Inputs, Brent A. Gloy, Jay Akridge Jun 1999

Segmenting The Commercial Producer Marketplace For Agricultural Inputs, Brent A. Gloy, Jay Akridge

Department of Agricultural Economics Faculty Publications

A cluster analysis procedure was used to develop a market segmentation of U.S. crop and livestock farms with annual sales in excess of $100,000. The segments were developed based on the importance of six factors that producers evaluate when selecting input suppliers. The results indicate that four distinct segments exist: Convenience buyers, Balance buyers, Price buyers, and Performance buyers. Differences in preferences across these segments have important implications for the marketing strategies of agricultural input suppliers.


The Innocence Of Children: Effects Of Vulgarity In South Park, Emily Ravenwood Jun 1999

The Innocence Of Children: Effects Of Vulgarity In South Park, Emily Ravenwood

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Emily Ravenwood examines in her article, "The Innocence of Children: Effects of Vulgarity in South Park" the way in which the appropriation of low culture into high art can operate to simultaneously raise and lower the cultural capital of the art in question. Usually, in definitions of high and low art vulgarity is understood as a negative representation. This dismissal is rooted in the linguistic and political relationship between vulgarity and perceived "lower class" realities. In the context of artistic representation, however, vulgarity can be a powerful weapon to enforce attention and awareness of foreign realities in a middle class …

Reinterpreting Modern Culture: An Introduction To Friedrich Nietzsche’S Philosophy, Paul V. Tongeren Jun 1999

Reinterpreting Modern Culture: An Introduction To Friedrich Nietzsche’S Philosophy, Paul V. Tongeren

Purdue University Press Books

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) presents himself several times as a physician of culture. He considers it his task to make a diagnosis of the culture of his age, to point to the latent or patent diseases, but also to the possibilities to overcome them. His diagnosis, prognosis, and prescriptions implied an overcoming of traditional interpretation of what is going on in the main domains of culture: knowledge, morality, religion, and art. This book presents Nietzsche's thoughts on knowledge and reality, on morality and politics, and on religion. Preceding these main dialogues is an introduction on the art of reading Nietzsche's texts …


Poetic Image And Tradition In Western European Modernism, José Manuel Losada Goya Jun 1999

Poetic Image And Tradition In Western European Modernism, José Manuel Losada Goya

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

José Manuel Losada Goya investigates in his article "Poetic Image and Tradition in Western European Modernism: Pound, Lorca, Claudel," aspects of poetic imagery in modernism. The analysis of the changes brought about by modern poetry involves just as much the study of content as it does of form. In the very beginning of modernity, the poet feels the necessity to invent another tradition, distinct in spatial-temporal parameters and in rhetorical procedures. In the article, attention is paid to both the re-modification of the phonological figures (especially in rhyme and rhythm) and the restructuring of lexical levels (especially in metaphor and …


Some Observations About The Suicide Of The Adulteress In The Modern Novel, Babis Dermitzakis Jun 1999

Some Observations About The Suicide Of The Adulteress In The Modern Novel, Babis Dermitzakis

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Babis Dermitzakis posits in his article "Some Observations about the Suicide of the Adulteress in the Modern Novel" that in three major male-authored European novels -- Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, and Thérèse Raquin -- the protagonists are wives who commit adultery ending in suicide. In contrast, texts by women authors of the period show no similar description and perception of adultery by women. Dermitzakis suspects that the male writers did not simply fictionalize a specific social behavior or condition; rather, they likely imported their own prejudices about women's adultery -- and more generally about women's sexuality -- into their …


East Central Europe As A Politically Correct Scapegoat: The Case Of Bulgaria, Roumiana Deltcheva Jun 1999

East Central Europe As A Politically Correct Scapegoat: The Case Of Bulgaria, Roumiana Deltcheva

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Roumiana Deltcheva analyzes in her article "East Central Europe as a Politically Correct Scapegoat: The Case of Bulgaria" the mechanisms of image construction of East Central Europe in the West, taking Bulgaria as a case study as seen in literary and filmic texts. A historical overview of literary and theoretical texts which deal with the cultural semiosphere of Bulgaria is presented to demonstrate that contrary to widely held perceptions in North American (US and Canada) "politically correct" scholarship, Europe is not a homogeneous cultural unity. In fact, a clear centre/periphery situation is established and delineated along the geographical axis West/East …

Integrated Detection And Estimation Using Multisensor And Distributed Processing, Rangasami L. Kashyap May 1999

Integrated Detection And Estimation Using Multisensor And Distributed Processing, Rangasami L. Kashyap

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This research deals with the solution of detection and estimation problems encountered in a variety of target tracking problems encountered in a Ballistic Missile Defense environment. We propose five broad classes of problems. The first problem deals with the guidance for interceptors tracking maneuverable targets. We need to forecast the time of intersection and the bearing angle of the target, and have to update them continuously. The second problem is the robust tracking of moving targets, especially with the tracks close to one another. Our approach avoids the data association lacunae of the existing methods. Next we deal with targets …


The Design And Evaluation Of Microphone Arrays For The Visualization Of Noise Sources On Moving Vehicles, Hyungseok Kook, Patricia Davies, J Stuart Bolton May 1999

The Design And Evaluation Of Microphone Arrays For The Visualization Of Noise Sources On Moving Vehicles, Hyungseok Kook, Patricia Davies, J Stuart Bolton

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

The present work was directed towards the design of a sideline microphone array specifically adapted to the visualization of automotive noise sources in the 500 Hz to 2000 Hz range. The particular design philosophy followed here involved the minimization of the array redundancy: i.e., the minimization of the number of pairs of microphones that are separated by the same distance in the same directions. The performance of sixty-four element microphone arrays designed according to this principle will be illustrated through the use of simulated motor vehicle passbys. In addition, their performance will be compared with more conventional array designs: e.g., …

Transfer Matrix Approach To The Estimation Of The Fundamental Acoustical Properties Of Noise Control Materials, Bryan H. Song, J Stuart Bolton May 1999

Transfer Matrix Approach To The Estimation Of The Fundamental Acoustical Properties Of Noise Control Materials, Bryan H. Song, J Stuart Bolton

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

A new method for evaluating the acoustical properties of porous materials is described here. To implement the procedure, a two-microphone standing wave tube was modified to include: a new sample holder; a section that accommodated a second pair of microphones downstream of the sample holder; and an approximately anechoic termination. A four-point sound pressure method was then used to estimate the two-by-two transfer matrix of the material. The transfer matrix can then be used to determine the wave number and characteristic impedance of the material. The procedure has been used to estimate the acoustical properties of two glass fiber materials.
