Campaign Contributions And Congressional Voting: A Simultaneous Probit-Tobit Model, Henry W. Chappell Jr. Feb 1982

Campaign Contributions And Congressional Voting: A Simultaneous Probit-Tobit Model, Henry W. Chappell Jr.

Faculty Publications

Full-information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimates of the simultaneous probit-Tobit (SPT) model suggest that effects of campaign contributions on voting are smaller than single equation probit estimates would indicate. The author has generally unable to conclude that contributions have a significant impact on voting decisions, apparently votes are most often decided on the basis of personal ideology or preferences of constituents. These findings differ markedly from earlier results of economists Gary C. Durden and Jonathan J. Silberman, whose single equation models showed a substantial impact of contributions on voting decisions. Despite the lack of significance according to model SPT, it would …

Conductance In Restricted-Dimensionality Accumulation Layers, A. B. Fowler, A. Hartstein, Richard A. Webb Jan 1982

Conductance In Restricted-Dimensionality Accumulation Layers, A. B. Fowler, A. Hartstein, Richard A. Webb

Faculty Publications

Conductance has been studied in metal-oxide-silicon field-effect transistor accumulation-layer samples in which it is possible to constrict the channel to small dimensions both perpendicular to the surface and perpendicular to the channel. A temperature-dependent conductance σ=σ0exp[-(T0/T)n] is observed, where n=1/2 for small channel widths and n=1/3 for larger channel widths. It is believed that this behavior arises from a transition from one-dimensional to two-dimensional variable-range hopping in the sample.

Recent Trends In Coronary Risk Factors In The Ussr, R. Cooper, A. Schatzkin Jan 1982

Recent Trends In Coronary Risk Factors In The Ussr, R. Cooper, A. Schatzkin

Faculty Publications

The Soviet Union has experienced an increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease over the last 15 years sufficient to result in an overall deterioration in the health of adults. The distribution of coronary risk factors, and the secular trends in diet and cigarette consumption provide a potential explanation for the upsurge in death rates. The animal fat content of the Soviet diet has been steadily enriched since the 1950s and cigarette production increased 72 per cent from 1959 to 1980. The post-Stalin orientation of the Soviet economy toward a policy of motivating the work force primarily through the …

On Fourier Transform Of Generalized Brownian Functionals, Hui Hsiung Kuo Jan 1982

On Fourier Transform Of Generalized Brownian Functionals, Hui Hsiung Kuo

Faculty Publications

Let (L2) B ̇- and (L2) b ̇- be the spaces of generalized Brownian functionals of the white noises Ḃ and ḃ, respectively. A Fourier transform from (L2) B ̇- into (L2) b ̇- is defined by φ{symbol}̂(ḃ) = ∫S*: exp[-i ∫Rḃ(t) Ḃ(t) dt]: b ̇φ{symbol}( B ̇) dμ( B ̇), where : : b ̇ denotes the renormalization with respect to ḃ and μ is the standard Gaussian measure on the space S* of tempered distributions. It is proved that the Fourier transform carries Ḃ(t)-differentiation into multiplication by iḃ(t). The integral representation and the action ofφ{symbol}̂ as a generalized …

On Admissible Shifts Of Generalized White Noises, Hui Hsiung Kuo, W. Smolenski Jan 1982

On Admissible Shifts Of Generalized White Noises, Hui Hsiung Kuo, W. Smolenski

Faculty Publications

Let S be the Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing real functions. The dual space S* consists of the tempered distributions and the relation S ⊂ L2(R) ⊂ S* holds. Let γ be the Gaussian white noise on S* with the characteristic functional γ(ξ) = exp{-∥ξ∥2/2}, ξ ∈ S, where ∥·∥ is the L2(R)-norm. Let ν be the Poisson white noise on S* with the characteristic functional ν(ξ) = expΥ{hooked}R∫R {[exp(iξ(t)u)] - 1 - (1 + u2)-1(iξ(t)u)} dη(u)dt), ξ ∈ S, where the Lévy measure is assumed to satisfy the condition ∫Ru2dη(u) < ∞. It is proved that γ*ν has the same dichotomy property for shifts as the Gaussian white noise, i.e., for any ω ∈ S*, the shift (γ*ν)ω of γ*ν by ω and γ*ν are either equivalent or orthogonal. They are equivalent if and only if when ω ∈ L2(R) and the Radon-Nikodym derivative is derived. It is also proved that for the Poisson white noice νω is orthogonal to ν for any non-zero ω in S*. © 1982.

Matroids Whose Ground Sets Are Domains Of Functions, James Oxley Jan 1982

Matroids Whose Ground Sets Are Domains Of Functions, James Oxley

Faculty Publications

From an integer-valued function f we obtain, in a natural way, a matroid Mf on the domain of f. We show that the class of matroids so obtained is closed under restriction, contraction, duality, truncation and elongation, but not under direct sum. We give an excluded-minor characterization of and show that consists precisely of those transversal matroids with a presentation in which the sets in the presentation are nested. Finally, we show that on an n-set there are exactly 2”. © 1982, Australian Mathematical Society. All rights reserved.

Newspaper Errors: Reporters Dispute Most Source Claims, William A. Tillinghast Jan 1982

Newspaper Errors: Reporters Dispute Most Source Claims, William A. Tillinghast

Faculty Publications

The article presents a study related to the newspaper errors. Deep probe of disagreements suggests errors are really differences of opinion between sources and reporters. Research on newspaper accuracy has shown that news sources contend that about half the newspaper articles citing them contain at least one mistake, usually a misquote, omission or distorted emphasis. But, most of the half dozen studies which examined errors in newspapers excluded the reporter from the analysis, concentrating almost entirely on the perceptions of news sources. One study which did look at reporter response found that a reporter's focusing on a particular element of …

Management And Staff Development: Carl Workshop Proceedings, Jo Bell Whitlatch, Celia Bakke, Judy Reynolds Jan 1982

Management And Staff Development: Carl Workshop Proceedings, Jo Bell Whitlatch, Celia Bakke, Judy Reynolds

Faculty Publications

Staff development is a relatively new addition to the traditional responsibilities of managers. Managers have always been concerned about production and quality of product but not so formally about staff development responsibilities. Library workers themselves did not have all of the expectations about being developed on the job. The workshop theme also touches on such issues as the professional role, collective bargaining, and the effects of new and rapid developments in library technology upon management.

The Faretta Principle: Self Representation Versus The Right To Counsel, Paul Marcus Jan 1982

The Faretta Principle: Self Representation Versus The Right To Counsel, Paul Marcus

Faculty Publications

The United States Constitution makes provision for criminal defendants to be represented by counsel. In the federal jurisdiction this principle was vigorously applied, even to indigent persons, very early in the Twentieth Century. The United States Supreme Court, however, was reluctant to impose this requirement on the states except in cases of unusual circumstances where the absence of counsel would have affected the basic fairness of the trial. Finally, in a landmark decision by the Supreme Court, it was held that the right to counsel applies in both federal and state cases. For the past twenty years, federal and state …

Band Crossing And The Prealignment B(E2) Anomaly In 126Ba, J. P. Draayer, C. S. Han, K. J. Weeks, K. T. Hecht Jul 1981

Band Crossing And The Prealignment B(E2) Anomaly In 126Ba, J. P. Draayer, C. S. Han, K. J. Weeks, K. T. Hecht

Faculty Publications

A theoretical interpretation of the reduction in E2 strengths in 126Ba prior to backbending is presented. A shell model basis is built from normal parity orbilals organized into multiplets of a pseudo SU(3) symmetry coupled to h 11 2 configurations restricted to states of seniority zero and two. Within the framework of the model the scattering of a pair of protons from normal parity to the h 11 2 orbital produces band crossing and a corresponding reduction in E2 transition strengths prior to pair alignment which is the principal mechanism of the backbending. © 1981.

Reason And Revelation, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

This paper outlines and recommends a distinctively LDS approach to the ancient questions about reason and revelation in religious communities. It treats the variety of spiritual experience and distinguishes them from sentimentality and other pseudo spiritual experiences. It also explains how reason and revelation are important helps for one another and how better education can help individuals use reason and science to strengthen the role of revelation in their lives.

Mind Reader And Maestro: Models For Understanding Biblical Interpreters, Patrick R. Keifert Apr 1981

Mind Reader And Maestro: Models For Understanding Biblical Interpreters, Patrick R. Keifert

Faculty Publications

Certain models of the interpreter’s self-understanding within the interpretive task might be found more in keeping than others with the common life of the church, its nurture and preservation. I will explore several models of the interpreter’s self-understanding of the interpretive task, pair them with the corresponding understanding of the text and evaluate their usefulness for interpreting.
