Increasing Rural Women's Involvement In Government Decision Making, Teresa Maiolo

Research outputs pre 2011

The purpose of this report was to identify why rural women's involvement in government decision-making is of a low level despite the concerted government action, and to furthermore provide solutions to inform action. The strength of the research presented is that all information is firmly established in the rural women's experiences.

Twenty-one Western Australian rural women leaders were individually interviewed. These women represent the larger rural regions of Western Australia: South West, Great Southern, Goldfields-Esperance, Mid-West, Gascoyne, and Kimberley regions. These women were familiar with the broad systems of government, leadership, information and communication technology, and obviously rural life...

Comparative Assessment Of Bit Geometry And Cutting Parameters., Shiv Kumar Bhuvanapalli

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The Objectives of this research are to evaluate the performance of cutting tool, having different geometric configurations, in regards to bit – rock interaction and dust generation. When the cutting process takes place, the main objective is to cut bigger blocks of land/ridge rather than small and less fine dust. It is also important to minimize the amount of airborne dust. The ratio of bit spacing to depth of cut, angle of attack and many other bit geometrical factors contribute to the amount of settled and respirable dust production. When rock is cut and two cutting bits are placed adjacently …

The Fracture Analysis And Remaining Life Estimation Of The Avlb Sub-Components., Jeong-Hoon Choi

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The Armored Vehicle Launch Bridge (AVLB) is subjected to cyclic loading during its launching as well as tank crossing. The cyclic loading causes crack to initiate in critical bridge components, and to propagate. Unless these cracks are detected and repaired before they rapidly grow to reach their critical stage of propagation, the failure of bridge components can occur. According to the Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) from the U.S. Army, three AVLB components, the splice doubler angle, the splice plate, and the bottom chord, are susceptible to fatigue damage. In the present study, the laboratory fatigue tests on the …

Optimisation And Decision Support During The Conceptual Stage Of Building Design, Jim David Mathews

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

Modern building design is complex and involves many different disciplines operating in a fragmented manner. Appropriate computer-based decision support (DS) tools are sought that can raise the level of integration of different activities at the conceptual stage, in order to help create better designs solutions. This project investigates opportunities that exist for using techniques based upon the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to support critical activities of conceptual building design (CBD). Collective independent studies have shown that the GA is a powerful optimisation and exploratory search technique with widespread application. The GA is essentially very simple yet it offers robustness and domain …

Collected Papers of Ann Margaret Sharp

Geraldo is a story about what an immigrant undergoes when he leaves one culture and tries to 'join' another culture.

The explanation of the leading ideas in this manual help students and teachers explore the philosophical themes in Geraldo. The discussion plans, exercises, and activities are designed to foster and cultivate the process of philosophical dialogue in the classroom.

Antitrust Immunity, The First Amendment & Settlements: Defining The Boundaries Of The Right To Petition, Raymond Shih Ray Ku

Faculty Publications

Specifically, this Article examines whether settlement agreements and consent decrees resulting from what would otherwise be immunized litigation are protected from antitrust scrutiny and liability under Noerr. In order to conduct this analysis, this Article develops a methodology for determining immunity by focusing the immunity examination upon the means used to petition government and the source of the alleged injuries. Ultimately, private conduct is immune from antitrust scrutiny when it represents a valid attempt to persuade an independent governmental decision-maker in an effort to solicit government action, and the alleged injuries result from that persuasive effort. The validity of any …
