Paul Leicester Ford, University Libraries--University Of South Carolina Jan 1998

Paul Leicester Ford, University Libraries--University Of South Carolina

Rare Books & Special Collections Publications

This catalog accompanied the exhibit of portions of a gift of Ford material recently made to the University. Paul Leicester Ford (1865-1902) was the consummate bookman of the late nineteenth century. During his life, he successfully contributed to the world of letters through printing, bibliography, editing, scholarship and fiction. The collection contains almost forty books and pamphlets pertaining to Ford, including inscriptions, photos, and letters, as well as additional material by Noah Webster, Ford's great-grandfather, and other family members.

Assessing Silica And Dissolved Oxygen Effects On Copper Corrosion Control In Southern Nevada Water Treatment And Supply System, Abdel-Rahman M Toubat Jan 1998

Assessing Silica And Dissolved Oxygen Effects On Copper Corrosion Control In Southern Nevada Water Treatment And Supply System, Abdel-Rahman M Toubat

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

A pilot plant study was performed to investigate both the effect of silica on the corrosion process in the water system, and the effect of increased oxygen concentration resulting from ozonation on copper corrosion in the water system. The piping system used in the pilot plant resembled a household piping system, and consisted of four loops of copper pipes. Silica was added to the finished water before entering the loops at three different concentrations and corrosion was monitored by measuring copper concentration in first-draw weekly samples taken from the pilot system. Silica addition was monitored on a daily basis. Alkalinity, …

Navigational Fuzzy Logic Control Of An Autonomous Vehicle, Neil Eugene Hodge Jan 1998

Navigational Fuzzy Logic Control Of An Autonomous Vehicle, Neil Eugene Hodge

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The control of an autonomous passenger vehicle to reach a target amid static and dynamic obstacles is presented. To accommodate various model and environmental uncertainties, fuzzy logic is used in designing the vehicle's controller. The controller evaluates sensor information and outputs signals to change the vehicle's steering and throttle angles. To emulate human behavior, the controller is divided into separate modules. Each module deals with a specific navigational problem such as target steering, target throttle control, cornering throttle control, collision avoidance steering, and collision avoidance throttle control. Several simulation examples are included.

Context Dependencies For Younger And Older Adults In Learning A 4-Key Motor Sequence, Andrew James Meyers Jan 1998

Context Dependencies For Younger And Older Adults In Learning A 4-Key Motor Sequence, Andrew James Meyers

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The role environmental context has on performance level may change based on the skill being learned and the performer of that skill. The present study was designed to examine the role of environmental context in the learning of a 4-key motor sequence task. The present study had two primary purposes: first, replicating findings of a limited context effect in younger adults, and second, extending the findings to older adults to look at changes related to aging and environmental context. ANOVA results revealed no significant context effect in the present study for younger adults, and therefore comparisons between younger and older …

Low-Temperature Molecular Beam Epitaxy Of Gallium Arsenide Antisite Incorporation And Rheed Oscillations: A Theoretical Study, Natarajan Krishnan Jan 1998

Low-Temperature Molecular Beam Epitaxy Of Gallium Arsenide Antisite Incorporation And Rheed Oscillations: A Theoretical Study, Natarajan Krishnan

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Surface dynamics dominate the incorporation of charged and neutral antisite arsenic and the temporal variation of reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) intensity in the low temperature (LT) molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of (100) gallium arsenide (GaAs). A comprehensive rate equation model is proposed based on the presence and dynamics of a physisorbed arsenic (PA) riding the growth surface which dictates the incorporation and concentration of antisites and the RHEED oscillations (ROs) behavior. The dependence of antisite concentrations on growth parameters can be explained based on the saturation of the PA layer coverage at a monolayer and the competing rate …

Expectations Formation And Inflation Persistence, J. A. Carlson, Neven Tomov Valev Jan 1998

Expectations Formation And Inflation Persistence, J. A. Carlson, Neven Tomov Valev

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This paper studies the dynamics of inflation if monetary policy is transparent only to part of the population. We find that average long-run inflation decreases in the proportion of agents with naive expectations and, because of tradeoffs between speed of adjustment and long-run inflation, central banks prefer a higher proportion of agents who form informed expectations in high inflation periods but not so in lower inflation periods. We use survey data on expectations of inflation from Bulgaria collected at the time a currency board was introduced in that country to test for influences on the heterogeneity of expectations across agents.

Trade Reduction, Diversion And Compression: Empirical Regularities In The Effects Of Protective Measures, Jon D. Haveman, Reichert U. Nair, Jerry Thursby Jan 1998

Trade Reduction, Diversion And Compression: Empirical Regularities In The Effects Of Protective Measures, Jon D. Haveman, Reichert U. Nair, Jerry Thursby

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

We analyze the effectiveness of protective measures in a differentiated products framework using highly disaggregated data. The extent of the data and level of disaggregation permits us to separate the aggregate effect of tariffs and non-tariff barriers (NTBs) into reduction, diversion and compression effects.

Determinants Of Currency Risk Premiums, J. A. Carlson, C. L. Osler Jan 1998

Determinants Of Currency Risk Premiums, J. A. Carlson, C. L. Osler

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

The risk premium is a function of both the interest rate differential and the gap between the current exchange rate and its long-run equilibrium in a model of the foreign exchange market with both non-speculating traders and rational speculators. If the speculators have an alternative to specializing in exchange-rate speculation, then there should be no presumption that uncovered interest rate parity will hold even approximately with a long-run equilibrium number of speculators. Furthermore, when other traders respond to interest-rate differentials, the model can give rise to a negative relationship between the interest-rate differential and the subsequent change in the exchange …

International Integration And Growth: A Survey And Empirical Investigation, Jon D. Haveman, V. Lei, J. S. Netz Jan 1998

International Integration And Growth: A Survey And Empirical Investigation, Jon D. Haveman, V. Lei, J. S. Netz

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

After surveying the theoretical and empirical work, we attempt a comprehensive assessment of different forms of international integration on growth. In particular, we consider the impact of trade, of inward foreign direct investment, of preferential treatment of less developed countries, and of membership in trade blocs.
