Meeting Employees' Information Needs In An Evolving Health Care Marketplace, Lise Rybowski Nov 2001

Meeting Employees' Information Needs In An Evolving Health Care Marketplace, Lise Rybowski

National Health Policy Forum

This background paper explores the role of information in an evolving health care marketplace. It notes that, in a softening economy, many employers seeking relief from escalating health care expenses shift costs onto employees. Some try to make their retreat more palatable by offering employees both more options for how and where they receive health care and more control over how and where the money is spent. This paper discusses the changes that are likely to occur over the next decade in the ways that people make decisions about health plans and providers, the implications for consumers' information needs, and …

Vet In Schools : Participation And Pathways, Sue Fullarton

LSAY Research Reports

The introduction of vocational education and training (VET) programs into secondary schools is a significant development in Australian education. VET programs are intended to broaden the range of curriculum offerings and provide young people with another pathway to work and tertiary education. A key feature of the secondary VET programs in Australia is that they comply with the National Training Framework and also form part of students' senior secondary certificate. This report uses a substantial national data set to analyses the levels of participation in VET in Schools, the characteristics of the young people who take VET programs, and their …

The Proterozoic Ancestry Of The Colorado Mineral Belt : Ca. 1.4 Ga Shear Zone System In Central Colorado, Annie Marie Mccoy Nov 2001

The Proterozoic Ancestry Of The Colorado Mineral Belt : Ca. 1.4 Ga Shear Zone System In Central Colorado, Annie Marie Mccoy

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Paleocene to Oligocene magmatism and mineralization that are the Phanerozoic expressions of the Colorado Mineral Belt developed along a NE-trending system of subvertical mylonites and ultramylonites that formed in the Mesoproterozoic and that, in turn, overprinted higher-temperature Paleoproterozoic high strain zones of similar orientation. In this thesis, I distinguish the Colorado Mineral Belt itself from a Proterozoic 'Colorado Mineral Belt shear zone system' that includes the Homestake, Gore Range, St. Louis Lake, and Idaho Springs-Ralston shear zone segments. In situ electron microprobe monazite dating of mylonites of the Colorado Mineral Belt shear zone system, coupled with field studies of …

Persistence In Style-Adjusted Mutual Fund Returns, Melvyn Teo, Sung-Jun Woo Nov 2001

Persistence In Style-Adjusted Mutual Fund Returns, Melvyn Teo, Sung-Jun Woo

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

The literature on mutual fund persistence took a hit with the finding that one-year stock momentum and expense ratios account for most of the persistence in mutual fund performance (Carhart, 1992; Carhart, 1997). However, since equity mutual funds are grouped into styles (e.g., large value, small growth, mid-cap growth, etc.) and are often confined to trading stocks within their style, one should measure fund performance relative to style when investigating managerial ability. Using CRSP mutual fund data and a methodology similar to Carhart (1997), we find that differences in style-adjusted fund returns persist for up to six years. Neither one-year …

Using Ssm Proxies To Provide Efficient Multiple-Source Multicast Delivery, Daniel Zappala, Aaron Fabbri Nov 2001

Using Ssm Proxies To Provide Efficient Multiple-Source Multicast Delivery, Daniel Zappala, Aaron Fabbri

Faculty Publications

We consider the possibility that single-source multicast (SSM) will become a universal multicast service, enabling large-scale distribution of content from a few well-known sources to a general audience. Operating under this assumption, we explore the problem of building the traditional IP model of any-source multicast on top of SSM. Toward this end, we design an SSM proxy service that allows any sender to efficiently deliver content to a multicast group. We demonstrate the performance improvements this service offers over standard SSM and describe extensions for access control, dynamic proxy discovery, and multicast proxy distribution.

U.S.-Saudi Relations: Rebuilding The Strategic Consensus, Joseph Mcmillan Nov 2001

U.S.-Saudi Relations: Rebuilding The Strategic Consensus, Joseph Mcmillan

Strategic Forums

This Strategic Forum examines the strain in U.S.-Saudi relations and outlines steps to rebuild a shared strategic foundation in the aftermath of shifting regional dynamics and rising tensions. It argues that the partnership, long rooted in mutual security interests, has been weakened by political, military, and societal pressures, including the challenges of sustaining U.S. military presence and differing priorities in the Middle East. The paper emphasizes Saudi Arabia’s critical role in U.S. efforts to address regional instability and counter terrorism, while highlighting the sensitivities surrounding sovereignty and legitimacy within the Kingdom. It proposes rebuilding consensus through clearer strategic alignment, improved …


Effect Of Altitude On Cyanide Concentration, Leaf Toughness, And Herbivory In Passiflora Biflora (Passifloraceae), November 2001, Matthew S. Martin Nov 2001

Effect Of Altitude On Cyanide Concentration, Leaf Toughness, And Herbivory In Passiflora Biflora (Passifloraceae), November 2001, Matthew S. Martin

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Insect herbivore diversity and abundance often decreases with increasing elevation due to greater extremes in temperature and climate (Janzen 1983; Hanson 2000). As a result, herbivore pressure on plants found at high altitude is lower. Thus, one might expect a reduction in the levels of antiherbivore defenses such as secondary metabolites or high fiber at higher altitudes. To test this, leaves from the tropical vine Passiflora biflora (Passifloraceae) were sampled in the Monteverde area of Costa Rica, from 800-1600m. Leaves were tested for cyanide levels, toughness, and percent herbivory. Cyanide in the leaves of P. biflora was found to increase …


Distribution And Host Species Ranges Of Umbonia Ataliba And Umbonia Crassicornis And The Potential For Interspecific Competition, November 2001, Charles A. Hernick Nov 2001

Distribution And Host Species Ranges Of Umbonia Ataliba And Umbonia Crassicornis And The Potential For Interspecific Competition, November 2001, Charles A. Hernick

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Umbonia crassicornis and Umbonia ataliba (Homoptera: Membracidae) elevational ranges and host tree ranges were studied in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Umbonia crassicornis was known to exist at elevations below 1000 m, while U. ataliba was known to exist at 1300 -1500 m. The possibility of interspecific competition or possible future competition was investigated in light of recent local and global warming trends and observed population shifts in birds and herps by Pounds et al. (1999). A census of Umbonia species and host plants was conducted along an elevational gradient, in addition to an experimental test, which examined U. crassicornis survivorship on …

When Lawyers Were Serial Killers: Nineteenth Century Visions Of Good Moral Character, Roger Roots

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article provides a historical look at the meaning of the phrase "good moral character" in the context of the fitness of an individual for the practice of law. Going back to the 1700s, the author traces the origins of fitness requirements. This historical timeline uncovers a shockingly violent period when engaging in duels with pistols seemed to be an unwritten requirement to be considered a gentleman and a lawyer.
