Escaping The Tragedy Of The Commons, Roger A. Lohmann Jan 1995

Escaping The Tragedy Of The Commons, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Is tragedy due to over harvesting an inevitable consequence of the voluntary action of cooperation in a commons? No. Actually, commons theory resolved this question several decades ago. Such common goods are those pursued jointly by pluralities less than the dominant majority controlling the state and its unique ability to define public goods. In an era when the state has proven relatively powerless to define unambiguous public goods and public policy making is largely circumscribed in terms of a competition among interest groups, the state itself has become a major producer of common, rather than genuinely public, goods.


The Quantification Of Dynamic Parameters That Affect Eccentric Contraction Induced Injury In An In Vivo Rodent Model., Robert Gregory Cutlip Jan 1995

The Quantification Of Dynamic Parameters That Affect Eccentric Contraction Induced Injury In An In Vivo Rodent Model., Robert Gregory Cutlip

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Musculo-skeletal injury is a major occupational concern in the modern workforce. To date, the mechanisms responsible for muscle injury are not clearly understood. The objective of this research was to quantify the effect of dynamic parameters such as strain, strain-rate, number of repetitions, and loading cycles in muscle injury. A computer-controlled rodent dynamometer was designed and fabricated at WVU to facilitate the systematic investigation of eccentric-contraction induced muscle injury. An in vivo rodent model was used to study the effects of velocity and continuous versus intermittent loading on the rat plantarflexor group. The experimental results indicated that injury was independent …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study examined the effects of type of learner control in hypermedia software by learning disabled students. Developmental math students, not categorized as learning disabled, were also included in the study which investigated achievement, attitudes, and perceptions of those students regarding computer-based math word problem solving. Two HyperCard stacks of a tutorial nature were used as the treatment for this research. One stack contained high learner control; the other, low control. The sample included 18 learning disabled students enrolled in various math classes and 18 developmental math students enrolled in Basic Math classes in a small Western Pennsylvania college. Nine …


Modeling, Simulation And Response Analysis Of Antilock Braking Systems., Sudhanshu Nigam Jan 1994

Modeling, Simulation And Response Analysis Of Antilock Braking Systems., Sudhanshu Nigam

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Two problems faced by the brake industries today are: (1) Longer development time because of the design approach that uses actual physical tests to evaluate and caliberat design for a specific brake and vehicle system. (2) Incapability of the ABS (Antilock Braking Systems) to optimally achieve the functional requirements of stopping distance, steerability, and stability under the wide variety of road and driving conditions that are encountered. The two problems stated above are addressed in this dissertation. A computer model is developed for brake and vehicle. Using the model analytical simulations instead of actual physical tests are performed. Simulation is …


Selected Aspects Of Automation And Implications For Post-Secondary Technology Education., Mark Edward Bronakowski Jan 1994

Selected Aspects Of Automation And Implications For Post-Secondary Technology Education., Mark Edward Bronakowski

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The primary purposes of this study were to (1) develop a rank-ordered listing of concepts, ideas, equipment, systems, and techniques pertaining to the broad aspects of automation recommended for post-secondary technology education programs, and (2) draw implications for post-secondary education curriculum based on the outcomes of the Delphi. The study consisted of a three-round Delphi with a panel of twenty manufacturing professionals at a supervisory or higher level and with automation experience. A different and smaller group was used to develop the initial list of 35 items that the panel responded to in Round One. Panelists accepted, rejected, modified, or …


The Effectiveness Of Semantic Mapping Instruction On The Definition-Making Abilities And Strategy Reporting Of Fourth And Fifth-Grade Students With And Without Language Learning Disabilities., Robert Dick Kefferstan Jan 1994

The Effectiveness Of Semantic Mapping Instruction On The Definition-Making Abilities And Strategy Reporting Of Fourth And Fifth-Grade Students With And Without Language Learning Disabilities., Robert Dick Kefferstan

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Reading to learn is a major curricular goal in the fourth and fifth grades. Vocabulary development is an important aspect of this goal. Learning the meaning of unfamiliar words is not an easy task for all learners, especially for some students with a language learning disability. This multiple baseline single case/small group investigation was designed to study the effectiveness of semantic mapping instruction as a technique for learning new words. Fourth and fifth grade students met with their regular classroom teacher in small groups to construct semantic maps. At each grade level, the group consisted of a student with a …

The Effects Of Metaphor On Writing Quality In Elementary School Children., Jane Frances Rudden Jan 1994

The Effects Of Metaphor On Writing Quality In Elementary School Children., Jane Frances Rudden

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study addressed the effect of metaphor on the quality of writing in 1st-/2nd-graders (Group A, N = 7), 2nd-/3rd-graders (Group B, N = 17), 3rd-/4th-graders (Group C, N = 9), and 4th-/5th-graders (Group D, N = 12). These grade levels are representative of the literal or conventional phase of expression wherein there is a typical resistance shown toward the use of metaphor. This study also focused on the relationship between frequency of metaphor and writing quality, and the effects of grade on quality scores over time. Each group received instruction in metaphor competence and wrote in response to a …


Oxolanosterol Oximes: Dual-Action Inhibitors Of Cholesterol Biosynthesis, Leah L Frye, Kevin P Cusack, Deborah A Leonard, Jeffrey A Anderson Jan 1994

Oxolanosterol Oximes: Dual-Action Inhibitors Of Cholesterol Biosynthesis, Leah L Frye, Kevin P Cusack, Deborah A Leonard, Jeffrey A Anderson

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

A series of oxolanosterol oximes and oxime ethers have been prepared as potential dual-action inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis. The synthesis of these oximes along with the evaluation of their ability to inhibit lanosterol 14 alpha-methyl demethylase (P450DM) and to suppress 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme. A reductase (HMGR) activity is presented. 3 beta-Hydroxylanost-7-en-15-one 15-oxime XIX was found to be an effective inhibitor of P450DM in rat liver microsomal preparations. In [14C]acetate incorporation studies using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, compound XIX was found to cause a dramatic reduction in the incorporation of acetate into C27 sterols with a concomitant increase in radiolabeled C30 …

Damage Criteria And Control Measures For Residential Houses Subjected To Longwall Subsidence., Deepak Dutta Jan 1993

Damage Criteria And Control Measures For Residential Houses Subjected To Longwall Subsidence., Deepak Dutta

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

With the increase in production coming from longwall mining, attendant subsidence on the surface is becoming planned but widespread. As a consequence, in the rural USA, residential houses, farmers' barns, grain silos, county roads, small bridges, streams, grazing ground, underground water, pipe lines, and electric transmission towers are subjected to ground subsidence. Out of these structures and renewable resources, disturbances to residential houses caused by longwall mining are becoming a vexing problem for mine operators and house owners. In the backdrop of the above scenario, this dissertation explores two aspects of the issue, i.e. evaluation of damage to residential houses …
