Total Vote Runoff: A Majority-Maximizing Form Of Rank Choice Voting Mar 2023

Total Vote Runoff: A Majority-Maximizing Form Of Rank Choice Voting

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

Total Vote Runoff (TVR) is an electoral system designed to be identical to Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), which is the most commonly understood and implemented form of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in the United States, except for one key detail. Like IRV, TVR sequentially eliminates the weakest candidate on the ranked-choice ballot when no candidate is ranked first on a majority of ballots. Unlike IRV, however, TVR identifies the weakest candidate to be eliminated based on the total votes each candidate receives on all the ballots, rather than just the number of first-place votes (as IRV does). A candidate’s total …

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Seven in ten New Hampshire residents support legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Majorities are also in favor of several gun control measures, including a background check and waiting period on all commercial gun sales, as well as a mechanism to prevent those who may be a risk to themselves or others from buying a gun. Very few Granite Staters support moving New Hampshire's state primary to June. State residents say jobs and the economy and housing are the most important problems facing the state and most residents see homelessness as a very or somewhat serious issue.

All UNH Survey Center Polls

While the outlook for the state’s economy has improved somewhat, most New Hampshire residents remain pessimistic about economic conditions in the state. Housing affordability is a significant problem, as nearly half of state residents report spending 30% or more of their income on housing and virtually no one thinks it is a good time to buy a house in New Hampshire.

President Joe Biden's performance ratings in New Hampshire remain low, lower than former President Trump’s at this point in his presidency.

Many New Hampshire residents watched at least some of Kevin McCarthy's election as Speaker of the U.S. House, but few Granite Staters are pleased by McCarthy's election or view him favorably.

Tuning Shear Thinning Factors Of 3d Bio-Printable Hydrogels Using Short Fiber, Slesha Tuladhar, Scott Clark, Ahasan Habib Jan 2023

Tuning Shear Thinning Factors Of 3d Bio-Printable Hydrogels Using Short Fiber, Slesha Tuladhar, Scott Clark, Ahasan Habib

New Hampshire EPSCoR

Among various available 3D bioprinting techniques, extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting allows the deposition of cell-laden bioink, ensuring predefined scaffold architecture that may offer living tissue regeneration. With a combination of unique characteristics such as biocompatibility, less cell toxicity, and high water content, natural hydrogels are a great candidate for bioink formulation for the extrusion-based 3D bioprinting process. However, due to its low mechanical integrity, hydrogel faces a common challenge in maintaining structural integrity. To tackle this challenge, the rheological properties, specifically the shear thinning behavior (reduction of viscosity with increasing the applied load/shear rate on hydrogels) of a set of …

Gaps And Vantages In Mental Health And Homeless Veterans, Bruce Hidden

M.S. in Health Care Management

This project explored the current homeless population in New Hampshire’s Hillsborough County for veterans with mental health challenges. The objective was to identify the gaps and vantages between two important identifiers. One important statistic in the SWOT analysis is the demand for more veterans to be advocates for themselves as well as organizations merging their services to decrease and potentially end the homeless veteran challenges. Government funding has reached a high percentage of veterans. The results have been overall positive as the facts show trends leading to potentially ending homelessness and aiding mental illness in homeless veterans. The conclusions derived …
