S C O R P State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Nebraska Action Program Jan 2000

S C O R P State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Nebraska Action Program

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Publications

Over a third of nonresidents who visit Nebraska in the summer months go to attractions and events. For each attraction or event visited, they spend an average of a halfday longer stay in Nebraska and spend an additional $64, according to data from Nebraska's OED. Outdoor recreation will likely continue to increase with active families, climbing incomes, and shorter work weeks. However, Nebraskans may spend more on long weekends and vacations closer to home in coming years if fuel prices keep climbing. If Nebraska is to meet existing and expected recreation and tourism demands, the long-range statewide forecasts to meet …

Canonicity And Commercialization In Woolf's Uniform Edition, John K. Young Jan 2000

Canonicity And Commercialization In Woolf's Uniform Edition, John K. Young

English Faculty Research

This paper considers Virginia Woolf the publisher alongside Virginia Woolf the author. While the Hogarth Press has long been known for making Woolf "the only woman in England free to write what I like," it also made her free to be published as she liked. Hogarth, Jane Marcus argues, "gave Woolf a way of negotiating the terms of literary publicity, and a space somewhere between the private, the coterie, and the public sphere" (144-5). I will examine one such negotiation, the Uniform Edition of Woolf's works, a series designed to capitalize on her growing recognition and marketability. Once the Woolfs …

An Accelerated Learning Curve: Understanding The Benefits Of Motorsports Within Academic Disciplines, Mark D. Howell Jan 2000

An Accelerated Learning Curve: Understanding The Benefits Of Motorsports Within Academic Disciplines, Mark D. Howell

Visions in Leisure and Business

This article examines the growing need for college and university programs focusing on the motorsports industry. Many institutions fight against the age-old academic debate between classical or "high" culture and popular or "low" culture. Since motorsports affect large, general audiences, they are traditionally deemed "low" culture. As this article states, however, the need for college-educated engineers, designers, and business people in the rapidly expanding motorsports industry is slowly pushing automobile racing into the arena of an established and necessary academic discipline. The benefit of such a discipline is that graduates are successful in finding jobs with many of the biggest …

Typology Of Motor Sports Museum And Library Research Resources, Thomas C. Siebenaler, David L. Groves Jan 2000

Typology Of Motor Sports Museum And Library Research Resources, Thomas C. Siebenaler, David L. Groves

Visions in Leisure and Business

Museums and libraries are the foundation of effective research. There is fragmentation and disorganization in the world of motor sports among those who have an interest in its history. In motor sports the past is the tradition of the future. There needs to be a typology that will help to organize motor sports research resources to make the task of locating information simpler. The purpose of this manuscript was to develop such a typology.

Water Conservation Incentives For New Mexico: Policy And Legislative Alternatives, William M. Fleming, Emlen Hall Jan 2000

Water Conservation Incentives For New Mexico: Policy And Legislative Alternatives, William M. Fleming, Emlen Hall

Law of the Rio Chama

A broad range of options for encouraging municipal, industrial and agricultural water conservation are proposed for water-short New Mexico. Of particular interest are feasible options within the existing institutional and legal framework, focusing on measures that could be implemented without statutory changes by the Office of the State Engineer and the Interstate Stream Commission. Definitions of water conservation and beneficial use should be adopted, with emphasis on efficiency and economic feasibility. A "water conservation policy handbook" should be developed, with guidelines for preparing conservation plans and information on available conservation grants and water banking opportunities. Additional funding for water conservation …

Derailed : The Social, Economic And Political Implications Of The Closure Of The Westrail Midland Workshops, Lyla D. Elliott Jan 2000

Derailed : The Social, Economic And Political Implications Of The Closure Of The Westrail Midland Workshops, Lyla D. Elliott

Theses : Honours

The Westrail Midland Workshops had serviced the Western Australian Government Railway fleet for 90 years when they were closed by the Court Government in 1994. As the State's largest and best equipped industrial establishment employing over 900 workers, the announcement of the closure was unexpected and controversial. The research questions asked in this thesis are: Why did the Workshops close? What were the economic and political issues involved? What attempts were made to modernise the Workshops and improve efficiency, and what were the social and economic effects on the workers? The event took place at a time of changing ethos …

Evaluation Of Anti-Fouling Paints, Charles M. Burt Jan 2000

Evaluation Of Anti-Fouling Paints, Charles M. Burt

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

Algae and other growth on Replogle flumes, often used as flow measurement devices in irrigation canals, can effect the accuracy of measurements in those canals. Research was conducted to find a product that would prevent buildup on the flumes. Hard anti-fouling paint, designed to be applied to concrete rather than fiberglass, wood, steel or iron, was the type of paint used in this study.

Revised Glacial Margins And Wisconsin Meltwater Paleoflood Hydrology In Slippery Rock Creek Basin, Central Western Pennsylvania, Gary John D'Urso Jan 2000

Revised Glacial Margins And Wisconsin Meltwater Paleoflood Hydrology In Slippery Rock Creek Basin, Central Western Pennsylvania, Gary John D'Urso

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Glacial margins mapped in Slippery Rock Creek basin during the 1950s are problematic. The number of sedimentological, mineralogical, petrological, and textural analyses used to distinguish glacial drifts in the southern portion of the basin were inadequate to resolve the margins. Furthermore, misidentification of man-made deposits as glacial drift led to erroneous interpretations regarding the extent and character of pre-Wisconsin glacial deposits, and appears to have influenced subsequent soil mapping. Canadian Shield erratic weathering was the primary tool used in this study to re-investigate the glacial margins. Erratics display one of three distinctive weathering rinds, so glacial deposits can be differentiated …

A Three-Phase Constitutive Model For Macrobrittle Fatigue Damage Of Composites., Gasser Farouk Abdelal Jan 2000

A Three-Phase Constitutive Model For Macrobrittle Fatigue Damage Of Composites., Gasser Farouk Abdelal

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Failure in materials occurs as a result of damage accumulation. Damage in composite material can be studied applying the continuum approach or the micromechanical approach. The continuum approach treats the composite material as transversely isotropic medium. In this approach, there is no distinction between the fiber and the matrix. The micromechanical approach studies the different damage mechanisms such as, fiber damage, fiber/matrix debonding, and matrix cracking. The research in this dissertation is focused on applying the micromechanical approach. A micromechanical macrobrittle damage (damage under monotonic load) model is developed and compared with available experimental data. Then an anisotropic fatigue damage …

Life On Campus Really Ain't So Bad, Avern Cohn Jan 2000

Life On Campus Really Ain't So Bad, Avern Cohn

Michigan Law Review

The Shadow University is a highly tendentious account of Alan Charles Kors and Harvey A. Silverglate's view of academic and student life in America's colleges and universities over the last twenty years. Kors and Silverglate see these colleges and universities turning from promoting personal and academic freedom to suppressing open expression and denying basic liberties to students and faculty alike. To make their point, they have scoured college and university campuses from coast to coast to find incidents involving student speech code violations, as well as student and faculty discipline and misbehavior proceedings. They also examine multicultural and diversity programs …

Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments: Subcontracting In The Japanese Automobile Industry, Yoshiro Miwa, J. Mark Ramseyer

Michigan Law Review

Longer ago than either of us cares to remember, one of us attended junior high in Tokyo. On Saturdays, he worked at a printed circuit factory. Or maybe "factory" makes it all sound too grand. A small building in back of a gas station, it had three or four punch presses. The "president" supervised matters (though he actually spent more time hanging out at the gas station), together with a sidekick who did assorted odd jobs besides. Several middle-aged women with no apparent technical education or skill ran the presses. The junior high kid spent his time trimming the sheets …

Reaffirming Relationship-Specific Investments: Comments On Miwa And Ramseyer's 'Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments', Scott E. Masten

Michigan Law Review

I, too, have a work-related anecdote from my youth to relate. During one summer break from college, I had a job on the night shift in the canning plant of a Coca-Cola bottling franchisee in my hometown in New Hampshire. The process of canning tonic (known as "soda" outside of New England) consisted of three stages, beginning with the fabrication of cans in a room at one end of the building and concluding with the filling and sealing operations in a room at the other end. In between, workers in a third room inspected cans as they arrived by conveyor …
