On Whose Watch? The Silent Separation Of American Children From Their Fathers, Nancy S. Coney, Wade C. Mackey Sep 1998

On Whose Watch? The Silent Separation Of American Children From Their Fathers, Nancy S. Coney, Wade C. Mackey

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Within two generations, the primary reason that American children were deprived of a father shifted from a father's death to a woman's choice. That is, prior to the 1960s, the major cause of fatherlessness was the death of the father through illness or accident. After the 1960s, the children became deprived of fathers primarily because of women's decisions to petition for a divorce or to become a single parent mother. The path of the shift is examined, and the consequences writ small per child and writ large for the commonweal are examined.

Low-Field Hopping Among Randomly-Distributed Sites With Uncorrelated Energetic Disorder, Paul Ernest Parris Sep 1998

Low-Field Hopping Among Randomly-Distributed Sites With Uncorrelated Energetic Disorder, Paul Ernest Parris

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The low-field mobility μ of a small concentration of charge carriers hopping among a random distribution of transport sites is studied, as a function of the mean interparticle spacing ρ and the temperature T, for model systems having different site-energy distribution functions. For a uniform density of states our calculations show that the mobility obeys empirical scaling laws similar to those found in the theory of variable-range hopping. For a binary distribution of site energies we observe a crossover as a function of site density between trap-limited conduction and trap-mediated conduction. For a Gaussian density of states our results confirm …

Feasibility Study On The Use Of The Internet For Traffic Of Unclassified Data, Alexandre L. Guerra, Luiz Gustavo F. P. Silva Sep 1998

Feasibility Study On The Use Of The Internet For Traffic Of Unclassified Data, Alexandre L. Guerra, Luiz Gustavo F. P. Silva

Theses and Dissertations

This research compares two possible networking methods for connecting all Brazilian Air Force Materiel Command units responsible for support and operation of Brazilian Air Force's weapons systems. The network includes the use of dedicated X.25 links, and the use of a virtual Private Network using the Internet (TCP/IP) as the medium of transmission. The Brazilian Air Force Materiel Command, responsible to support operating units over a very large sparse territory, lacks an efficient media of computer communications, which makes it difficult to control the supply chain channels of materiel present in each unit, depots, and warehouses. We studied the network …

Media Selection In The Air Force Environment: How Communications Requirements Influence Effectiveness As An Outcome Of Media Choice, David L. Hillman Sep 1998

Media Selection In The Air Force Environment: How Communications Requirements Influence Effectiveness As An Outcome Of Media Choice, David L. Hillman

Theses and Dissertations

Over the past two decades, great interest has been given to the research of media choice within organizations. However, there is still confusion over which factors influence media choice. This study examined the effectiveness of five media under different conditions in an effort to better understand which factors impact media choice. Through the examination of several theories on communication and media choice, a theoretical model was created to determine if effectiveness is an outcome of media choice. To test the proposed model, a 54 scenario policy capturing instrument was developed and distributed. Results from the study support the theory that …

The Effects Of Three Media Presentation Systems On Maintenance Task Performance, John W. Chastain Sep 1998

The Effects Of Three Media Presentation Systems On Maintenance Task Performance, John W. Chastain

Theses and Dissertations

Wearable computers and Portable Maintenance Aids (PMAs) may soon be the normal way of doing aircraft maintenance in the Air Force. Currently, the Air Force uses the paper form of Technical Orders (TO's) while doing aircraft maintenance. The purpose of this thesis was to compare the effects of three different media presentations of the information used during aircraft maintenance. The three different presentations compared are the current paper form, a Head Mounted Display (HMD), and an auditory mode. An experiment was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference between the systems (in terms of task completion times and …

Higher-Order And Next-Nearest-Neighbor Néel Anisotropies , Y.T. Millev, Ralph Skomski, J. Kirschner Sep 1998

Higher-Order And Next-Nearest-Neighbor Néel Anisotropies , Y.T. Millev, Ralph Skomski, J. Kirschner

Ralph Skomski Publications

The problem of higher-order Néel anisotropies is solved by exploiting the addition theorem for spherical functions. A key advantage of the present approach is the orthonormal character of the expansion of the magnetic energy that simplifies the formalism and makes possible the treatment of nonideal morphologies as well. Explicit expressions for second-, fourth-, and sixth-order anisotropies are obtained for ideal bulk of fcc and bcc symmetry as well as for (001), (110), and (111) surfaces with nearest-neighbor (NN) Néel interactions. The systematic examination of the pair model involves partition by species of inequivalent sites, interaction spheres, and orders in the …

Direct Voltammetric Observation Of Redox Driven Changes In Axial Coordination And Intramolecular Rearrangement Of The Phenylalanine-82-Histidine Variant Of Yeast Iso-1-Cytochrome C, Benjamin A. Feinberg, Xiangjun Liu, Michael D. Ryan, Abel Schejter, Chongyao Zhang, Emanuel Margoliash Sep 1998

Direct Voltammetric Observation Of Redox Driven Changes In Axial Coordination And Intramolecular Rearrangement Of The Phenylalanine-82-Histidine Variant Of Yeast Iso-1-Cytochrome C, Benjamin A. Feinberg, Xiangjun Liu, Michael D. Ryan, Abel Schejter, Chongyao Zhang, Emanuel Margoliash

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Direct square-wave and cyclic voltammetric electrochemical examination of the yeast iso-1-cytochrome c Phe82His/Cys102Ser variant revealed the intricacies of redox driven changes in axial coordination, concomitant with intramolecular rearrangement. Electrochemical methods are ideally suited for such a redox study, since they provide a direct and quantitative visualization of specific dynamic events. For the iso-1-cytochrome c Phe82His/Cys102Ser variant, square-wave voltammetry showed that the primary species in the reduced state is the Met80-Fe2+-His18 coordination form, while in the oxidized state the His82-Fe3+-His18 form predominates. The addition or removal of an electron to the …

Cloning And Expression Of The Listeria Monocytogenes Scott A Ptsh And Ptsi Genes, Coding For Hpr And Enzyme I, Respectively, Of The Phosphotransferase System, Douglas P. Christensen, Andrew K. Benson, Robert W. Hutkins Sep 1998

Cloning And Expression Of The Listeria Monocytogenes Scott A Ptsh And Ptsi Genes, Coding For Hpr And Enzyme I, Respectively, Of The Phosphotransferase System, Douglas P. Christensen, Andrew K. Benson, Robert W. Hutkins

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) utilizes high-energy phosphate present in PEP to drive the uptake of several different carbohydrates in bacteria. In order to examine the role of the PTS in the physiology of Listeria monocytogenes, we identified the ptsH and ptsI genes encoding the HPr and enzyme I proteins, respectively, of the PTS. Nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that the predicted proteins are nearly 70% similar to HPr and enzyme I proteins from other organisms. Purified L. monocytogenes HPr overexpressed in Escherichia coli was also capable of complementing an HPr defect in heterologous extracts of Staphylococcus aureus ptsH …

Identification Of The Gene Encoding The Alternative Sigma Factor ΣB From Listeria Monocytogenes And Its Role In Osmotolerance, Lynne A. Becker, Mehmet Sevket Cetin, Robert W. Hutkins, Andrew K. Benson Sep 1998

Identification Of The Gene Encoding The Alternative Sigma Factor ΣB From Listeria Monocytogenes And Its Role In Osmotolerance, Lynne A. Becker, Mehmet Sevket Cetin, Robert W. Hutkins, Andrew K. Benson

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Listeria monocytogenes is well known for its robust physiology, which permits growth at low temperatures under conditions of high osmolarity and low pH. Although studies have provided insight into the mechanisms used by L. monocytogenes to allay the physiological consequences of these adverse environments, little is known about how these responses are coordinated. In the studies presented here, we have cloned the sigB gene and several rsb genes from L. monocytogenes, encoding homologs of the alternative sigma factor σB and the RsbUVWX proteins, which govern transcription of a general stress regulon in the related bacterium Bacillus subtilis. …

A Feedback-Driven Proportion Allocator For Real-Rate Scheduling, David Steere, Ashvin Goel, Joshua Gruenberg, Dylan Mcnamee, Calton Pu, Jonathan Walpole Sep 1998

A Feedback-Driven Proportion Allocator For Real-Rate Scheduling, David Steere, Ashvin Goel, Joshua Gruenberg, Dylan Mcnamee, Calton Pu, Jonathan Walpole

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this paper we propose changing the decades-old practice of allocating CPU to threads based on priority to a scheme based on proportion and period. Our scheme allocates to each thread a percentage of CPU cycles over a period of time, and uses a feedback-based adaptive scheduler to assign automatically both proportion and period. Applications with known requirements, such as isochronous software devices, can bypass the adaptive scheduler by specifying their desired proportion and/or period. As a result, our scheme provides reservations to applications that need them, and the benefits of proportion and period to those that do not. Adaptive …
