On Circulant Weighing Matrices, K. T. Arasu, Jennifer Seberry

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Algebraic techniques are employed to obtain necessary conditions for the existence of certain circulant weighing matrices. As an application we rule out the existence of many circulant weighing matrices. We study orders n = 82 +8+1, for 10 ~ 8 ~ 25. These orders correspond to the number of points in a projective plane of order 8.

Family Reunion Services: An Examination Of A Process Used To Successfully Reunite Families, Lois Pierce, Vince Geremia

Journal of Family Strengths

Family Reunion Services, an intensive-home-based service for families whose children are unlikely to return home without additional services, was evaluated. The 196 children who received FRS services and remained home had fewer previous placements, were more likely to be black and to come from families where the FRS worker intervened in the areas of parenting skills or communication. FRS workers' activities are described.

Developing A Theoretical And Empirical Ethnocultural Model Toward Predicting Crying Behavior In White College Women, Brian L. Ragsdale

Open Access Master's Theses

Self reported crying behavior in White college women along with ethnocultural variables which may influence their crying behavior was examined. Another focus of the study was to begin the development of an ethnocultural survey of crying behavior. Questions concerning socioeconomic status, religiosity/ spirituality, interpersonal experiences, family members feeling about crying behavior, perceptions of same race and other race crying, White Racial Identity Attitude (Helms, 1990) and the East/ West Questionnaire (Gilgen & Cho, 1979) were used as ethnocultural variables.

One hundred sixteen White women completed the survey during the first administration and sixty three of them completed the survey during …

Assessing Predictors Of Smoking Cessation: An Application Of Signal Detection Methodology, Sonya V. Benisovich

Open Access Master's Theses

Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable illness and death in the United States. Yet, when people are able to quit, the negative effects of smoking to their health diminish over time. For this reason, it is important for behavioral scientists to understand the mechanisms which underly smoking cessation. In this study, signal detection analysis was used to determine which baseline characteristics of 602 smokers were best able to discriminate those who had quit smoking from those who had not six and eighteen months later. Variables included in this analysis were chosen based on prior research showing that they …

Isolation Of The Virulence Gene(S) In The New, Live, Oral Vaccine Candidate Salmonella Typhimurium Sr-11 Fad, James H. Allen

Open Access Master's Theses

A DNA fragment containing the defective virulence gene(s) in the live oral vaccine candidate Salmonella typhimurium SR-11 Fad was isolated. Genomic DNA fragments from the vaccine candidate, constructed by Tn10d::cam transposon mutagenesis, were probed with the 1.4 Kbp chloramphenicol resistance gene contained in Tn10d::cam and analyzed by Southern hybridization. Two of the fragments, an 8.0 Kbp Hind III fragment and a 4.5 Kbp Pst I fragment, were isolated, cloned into E. coli HB 101, and mapped. The Pst I fragment, containing approximately 2.9 Kbp of flanking genomic DNA, was subcloned into the sequencing vector pBluescript …

Land Use Suitability Analysis: An Assessment For The Rhode Island Central Landfill, R. William B. Macdaniel

Open Access Master's Theses

The purpose of this research project was to develop an alternative methodology for the Land Use Suitability Study for the Rhode Island Central Landfill in Johnston, Rhode Island. The alternative methodology involved developing a means to analyze the Central Landfill property that is more in depth than the initial basic overlay analysis used in the 1996 Central Landfill Land Use Suitability Study. The means to accomplish this began with a comparison of this study with other land use studies, and literature related to land use suitability studies. Particular attention was paid to methods of analysis. The intent was to identify …

Parent Participation In The Providence School Department: An Analysis Of The Code Of Behavior Process, S. Kai Cameron

Open Access Master's Theses

This project analyzed the secondary school discipline code for the Providence Publics Schools with respect to parent participation and involvement. The discipline code exists in three (3) versions: (1 ). a multi-page text, which is the Davies-Bricknell School Board Policy# 5144, e.g. the current code; (2) a summarized version of the current code and (3) a proposed code. The current code was originally approved in 1978 and has been revised over the past twenty years through the amendment process. The summary of the current code was crafted in 1987 and distributed system-wide as a "letter to parents ". The summary …

Kaiser/Mosaico Neighborhood Business Analysis, James M. Lamphere

Open Access Master's Theses

In 1977, Kaiser Aluminum left the Town of Bristol, Rhode Island, giving its manufacturing facility to Roger Williams College. Failing to gain zoning approval for a proposed educational/residential/industrial complex, the college sold the property to a private developer. While much of the former mill site was converted to an industrial park, other portions remained vacant and in disrepair. Recognizing the redevelopment potential of this facility, the Town of Bristol initiated a participatory process for the purpose of revitalizing and stabilizing the surrounding neighborhood.

The Bristol Town Council adopted the Kaiser Mill Complex and Revitalization Plan as part of its Comprehensive …

Crime Reduction In Low-Income Neighborhoods: A Strategy For Newhallville, New Haven, Connecticut, Jennifer T. Murray

Open Access Master's Theses

This research project focuses on both physical and non-physical approaches to crime reduction in low-income neighborhoods. The perception of crime is a prominent factor in the social and physical deterioration of neighborhoods. When residents feel unsafe in their neighborhood, they lock themselves in their homes or move out of the neighborhood. Perhaps the most tragic outcome is the feeling of powerlessness.

Crime reduction strategies, both physical and non-physical, have the ability to restore residents’ sense of power and control over crime. Physical strategies such as increased lighting and creating mini-neighborhoods, provide a community with a sense of control over the …

Evaluation Of Darcian Continuum Precepts For Describing Ground-Water Flow In A Fractured-Bedrock Aquifer, Scott Charles Michaud

Open Access Master's Theses

Quantitative description of ground-water flow in fractured-rock aquifers is difficult because flow may be non-Darcian and hydrologic parameters are scale dependent. Due to its relative efficiency, the application of a continuum, or equivalent porous medium (EPM) approach to describing flow is desired wherever it can be deemed appropriate. The suitability of imposing such conditions on a ground-water flow model of a prototype fractured-bedrock island aquifer in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island was investigated following favorable analysis of long-term drawdown data suggestive of Darcian ground-water flow.

A borehole geophysical investigation of the island's municipal production well is corroborative, suggesting that ground-water flow …

Infrared Diode Laser Spectrometer For The Study Of Jet Cooled Gases, Anthony Bednar, Eric Barnett, Candace Lindsay, Trey Heath, Philip Williams, Mark Draganjac, Scott W. Reeve

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

We have constructed a tunable, high resolution, infrared diode laser spectrometer and combined it with a pulsed supersonic jet expansion. A modified version of the Perry multipass cell has been incorporated into the spectrometer to increase the effective absorption path length. Performance capabilities of the spectrometer are evaluated by examining ro-vibrational spectra for the carbon monoxide molecule in the five micron region of the infrared. From these measurements, an instrumental absorption sensitivity is determined. Finally, since one of our immediate goals is the infrared study of jet cooled transition metal carbonyls, we present high resolution data obtained by entraining the …

The Effects Of Organic Fertilizers And Biostimulants On The Bacterial Populations Of Golf Course Greens, Tees, And Fairways, Audelia Munguia

McNair Scholars Journal

Organic fertilizers and biostimulants were tested on Grand Valley State University's Meadows Golf Course in Allendale, Michigan. Five greens, four tees, and three fairways were each treated with a different organic fertilizer or biostimulant. Core soil samples were diluted and placed on several selective media. The isolated colonies were counted and identified. Preliminary data suggests that for the agents tested there is no statistically significant difference in the numbers and kinds of bacteria retrieved. This is meaningful because there is a substantial difference in the ease of application and cost between agents used.

Demystifying The Extraordinary Writ: Substantive And Procedural Requirements For The Issuance Of Mandamus., Charles W. Rocky Rhodes

St. Mary's Law Journal

In Walker v. Packer, the Texas Supreme Court attempted to harmonize Texas jurisprudence regarding the standards for issuing a writ of mandamus. The Walker court initially reiterated the maxim that mandamus will issue “only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no other adequate remedy by law.” The Court defined “clear abuse of discretion” as “a decision so arbitrary and unreasonable as to amount to a clear and prejudicial error of law.” The Court subsequently reaffirmed the “fundamental tenant” of mandamus practice stating the extraordinary writ is not …
