Disseminating The Administrative Version And Explaining The Administrative And Statistical Versions Of The Federal Poverty Measure, Gordon M. Fisher

Clinical Sociology Review

This article describes how the author, a federal employee, disseminates and explains the poverty guidelines (the administrative version of the federal poverty measure, used in determining eligibility for certain programs) and other povertyrelated information, responding to 1312 public inquiries in 1996. The article reviews federal programs and some non-federal activities using the poverty guidelines; the principal categories of people who make poverty inquiries; and some of the questions most commonly asked.

One common question is "How was the poverty line developed?" The author has prepared a detailed account of the development and history of the poverty thresholds (the original version …

A Multibandwidth Probing Method For Tissue Scattering Microstructure Characterization, Navalgund Rao, Maria Helguera

Articles

In medical ultrasound the normalized second intensity moments of the echo signal can depend on the imaging system resolution cell volume (axial and lateral resolution) in addiction to the scattering microstructure. The authors propose a multibandwidth probing technique in an attempt to separate the two. Theoretical relationships between second intensity moments, (scattering coefficients, scatterer spacing, and its randomness) and the system's cell volume are stablished. Experiments on water filled sponge structures with pore size varying from .5 mm to 2 mm and pig liver tissue are performed. The slope and intercept values from normalized second intensity moments versus (cell volume)-1 …

Psychophysical Evaluation Of Gamut Mapping Techniques Using Simple Rendered Images And Artificial Gamut Boundaries, Ethan Montag, Mark Fairchild

Articles

Using a paired comparison paradigm, various gamut mapping algorithms were evaluated using simple rendered images and artificial gamut boundaries. The test images consisted of simple rendered spheres floating in front of a gray background. Using CIELAB as our device-independent color space, cut-off values for lightness and chroma, based on the statistics of the images, were chosen to reduce the gamuts for the test images. The gamut mapping algorithms consisted of combinations of clipping and mapping the original gamut in linear piecewise segments. Complete color space compression in RGB and CIELAB was also tested. Each of the colored originals (R,G,B,C,M,Y, and …

Low Resistance Ohmic Contacts To P-Ge/Sub 1-X/C/Sub X/ On Si, Xiaoping Shao, Sean Rommel, B. Orner

Articles

We report on ohmic contact measurements of Al, Au, and W metallizations to p-type epitaxial Ge0:9983C0:0017 grown on a (100) Si substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Contacts were annealed at various temperatures, and values of specific contact resistance have been achieved which range from 10/super-5/ Ω cm2 to as low as 5:6 X 10/super-6/ Ω cm2. Theoretical calculations of the contact resistance of metals on Ge/sub1-x/C/x/ with small percentages of carbon, based on the thermionic field emission mechanism of conduction, result in good agreement with the experimental data. We conclude that Al and Au are suitable ohmic contacts to …

Is There Really A Super-Massive Black Hole In M87?, Alessandro Marconi, David Axon, Duccio Macchetto

Articles

We present the first HST long-slit spectrum of a gaseous disk around a candidate super-massive black-hole. The results of this study on the kinematics of the gaseous disk in M87 are a considerable improvement in both spatial resolution and accuracy over previous observations and requires a projected mass of MBH(sin i)2 = (2.0 ± 0.5)×109M⊙ (MBH = 3.2×109M⊙ for a disk inclination i = 52◦) concentrated within a sphere whose radius is less than 0.′′05 (3.5 pc) to explain the observed rotation curve. The kinematics of the ionized gas is well described by a thin disk in keplerian motion. A …

Isolation And Characterization Of An Attenuated Strain Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Ac869, A 3,5-Dichlorobenzoate Degrader, Xin Zhou, Elizabeth George, Dara W. Frank, Maryjane Utley, Ian Gilmour, Karen A. Krogfelt, Larry D. Claxton, David C. Laux, Paul S. Cohen

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

Pseudomonas aeruginosa AC869, a 3,5-dichlorobenzoate degrader, is a mouse pathogen and has a reported 50% lethal dose (LD₅₀) of 1.05 x 10⁷ CFU when given intranasally to C3H/HeJ mice (S. E. George, M. J. Kohan, M. I. Gilmour, M. S. Taylor, H. G. Brooks, J. P. Creason, and L. D. Claxton, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 59:3585– 3591, 1993). AC869 was serotyped as O6 when grown in CD-1 mouse cecal and lung mucus but could not be assigned an O serotype when grown in Luria broth (LB). After growth in mouse cecal mucus, a less virulent mutant, AC869 11, …

Real Estate 20:20, John Ratcliffe

Articles

This paper seeks to establish a framework for studying real estate futures. In doing so, it explores the general climate of change within which property decisions will have to be made, and examines the specific real estate opportunities that might emerge as a result of that change. For the purpose of appraisal, the forces of change are grouped into six sectors - cultural, demographic, economic, environmental, governmental and technological. Property perspectives are then portrayed for each of these sectors, and some conclusions drawn regarding the likely directions of change in the fields of real estate investment, development and management. Above …

Southern Discomforts: The Racial Struggle Over Popular Tv (Chapter Fourteen Of The Revolution Wasn't Televised), Steven Classen

Faculty Publications - Department of Communication and Cinematic Arts

Excerpt: "The assassination of NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers during the early hours of June 12, 1963 delivered a severe blow to the "Jackson movement"-a local insurgency dedicated to direct action and racial desegregation in the Mississippi capitol. 1 In the days following the murder and Evers's funeral, "go slow" forces within the NAACP and the Kennedy administration employed successful strategies to curtail the movement's sustained confrontation campaigns. Still, the deeply felt dissatisfaction of black Mississippians regarding segregation and its implications could not be quickly or strategically allayed. And in the months following Evers's death, African American frustration with the …

High Levels Of A Major Histocompatibility Complex Ii-Self Peptide Complex On Dendritic Cells From The T Cell Areas Of Lymph Nodes, Kayo Inaba, Margit D. Witmer-Pack, Muneo M. Inaba

Publications

T lymphocytes recirculate continually through the T cell areas of peripheral lymph nodes. During each passage, the T cells survey the surface of large dendritic cells (DCs), also known as interdigitating cells. However, these DCs have been difficult to release from the lymph node. By emphasizing the use of calcium-free media, as shown by Vremec et al. (Vremec, D., M. Zorbas, R. Scollay, D. J. Saunders, C.F. Ardavin, L. Wu, and K. Shortman. 1992. J. Exp. Med. 176:47-58.), we have been able to release and enrich DCs from the T cell areas. The DCs express the CD11c leukocyte integrin, the …

Re-Evaluating The Major Stressors Of Policing, James Walter Carter Ii

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

In this study, a sample of 37 officers employed with the Huntington Police Department, a medium-sized Appalachian police department, were sampled about the stressfulness and frequency of selected items from Sewell’s Life Events Scale. From the responses to the survey items, a scale was created to assess the combined effects of frequency and stressfulness. Respondents were also asked to indicate what percentage of their total accumulated job-related stress was generated by each of Barker and Carter’s generic stressors of policing. Several group differences were found. A ranking of stressors was developed for the frequency, stress, the combined scales and compared …
