Cost Estimating And Forecasting For Highway Work In Kentucky (Study Kyspr-94-158), James D. Stevens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Starting 1 July 1992, KRS45.245 granted the Interim Joint Committee on Transportation oversight of the biennial highway plan, including a review of all authorized highway project phases that exceed their estimates by 15%.

Estimates developed using current methods were not sufficiently accurate to preclude cost overruns in excess of 15%. Estimates were prepared before design began in order for the project to be included in the six-year plan. These estimates were not revised after a more detailed scope was available.

There were 562 overruns >15% at a cost of approximately $265 million during the period 7/1/92-7/1/98. All overruns were approved …

Two-pion correlations from Pb1Pb collisions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon are measured by the NA44 experiment at CERN. Multidimensional fits characterize the emission volume, which is found to be larger than in S-induced collisions. Comparison to the RQMD model is used to relate the fit parameters to the actual emission volume.

Guaranteed-Cost Control Of The Nonlinear Benchmark Problem Using Model-Based Fuzzy Systems, Chaouki T. Abdallah, A. Jadbabaie, M. Jamshidi, Peter Dorato

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

We design a state-feedback controller for the nonlinear benchmark problem. Our approach relies on the use of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models to approximate the nonlinear system. Once the fuzzy model is obtained, we develop a guaranteed-cost framework to design the controller using linear matrix inequality methods and the recently obtained relaxed stability conditions. We show that our proposed controller will not only stabilize the system, but also has satisfactory disturbance attenuation properties.

Academic Comparison Of Athletes And Non-Athletes In A Rural High School, Holt E Zaugg

Faculty Publications

This study compares academic performance, behavior, and commitment of basketball and volleyball athletes and non-athletes in a rural Canadian high school. It compares mid-term and final grades in each school discipline; visits to an administrator for disciplinary visits; and demerit points for improper behavior; and estimates the mean weekly time commitment for athletes in each sport.

Undergraduates Arguing A Case, Susheela A. Varghese, Sunita A. Abraham

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This essay describes an instructional study in which students were trained in two key aspects of argumentation, namely, the structural and interpersonal components. The structural aspects were taught and measured in terms of Toulmin's (1958) framework of argument analysis (i.e., the quality of claims, grounds and warrants used). The interpersonal aspects in turn were measured in terms of the creation of a clear persona, audience adaptiveness (the appropriate use of rational and emotional appeals), and stance towards the unique discourse of argumentation. Students performed a pre-instruction writing task, underwent eight weeks of explicit instruction in argumentation, then performed the task …
