The Global Stability, Boundedness, And Periodicity Character Of Certain Difference Equations, Michael Alexander Radin

Open Access Dissertations

We study the global stability, the boundedness nature, and the periodic character of the positive solutions of the difference equation [special characters omitted]where the parameters α and β are positive real numbers and the initial conditions x−1 and x0 are arbitrary non-negative real numbers. This problem was proposed by Dr. Richard Levins of the Harvard School of Public Health as a population model in Mathematical Biology. We consider α to be the immigration rate and β to be the population growth rate. We will also investigate the periodic character and the boundedness nature of all positive solutions of following two …

I Know That I Taught Them How To Do That, Laurel Oates

Faculty Articles

Teachers have complained for years that students could not transfer their skills from one class to another, and employers have complained that the students could not apply the skills they learned in class to real world tasks. This article delves into the issues involved in students acquiring skills and the ability to transfer those to skills to similar tasks. The article describes the four steps involved in transfer identified by researchers: problem representation, search and retrieval, mapping, and application.

The Political Economy Of Canada's "Widely Held" Rule For Large Banks, Eric J. Gouvin

Faculty Scholarship

All of the recent changes in foreign access to Canada's banking market have been essentially cosmetic-appearing to make foreign access more liberal while in reality changing the status quo very little. On one point, the so-called widely held rule, Canada does not even bother to pretend that its banking law is friendly to foreign entrants. Under this rule, no person or group may control ten percent or more of a Schedule I bank unless one first obtains the approval of the Minster of Finance. This rule makes foreign acquisition of a Schedule I bank virtually impossible. The widely held rule …

Absorption And Utilisation Of Natural And Synthetic Astaxanthin Forms In Salmonid Nutrition, Daniel Allan White

School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses

Consumer preference for commercially reared fish products that resemble their wild counterparts has resulted in the supplementation of pigments called carotenoids into aquafeeds to promote a pink-red colour in the flesh of salmonid fish. To date synthetic forms of these pigments have been commonly utilised to achieve this desired colouration, with the carotenoid astaxanthin being the regular choice for the feed manufacturer. However, increase in consumer demand for farmed fish products reared on natural feed additives has evoked an interest in natural sources of astaxanthin that could be successfully used to pigment salmonid fish efficiently. In the current study, the …

Perpetuating Stigma: Client Identity In Disability Rights Litigation, Laura L. Rovner

Utah Law Review

In returning to the question of whether and how lawyers can represent clients in disability rights cases in ways that are more congruent with how at least some of these clients self-identify, I find that part of the answer depends, necessarily, on what it is the client is seeking to achieve through a lawsuit in the first place. To the extent that the client's main objective is not an award of compensatory damages, there may be greater opportunity for the client's voice and story to be presented in a (relatively) unfiltered way. For a client whose primary goal is a …

The Electronic Signatures Act: Preempting State Law By Legislating Contradictory Technology Standards, Allison W. Freedman

Utah Law Review

Federal e-commerce legislation was desperately needed in order to keep pace with the exponential growth of businesses utilizing technology and to inject uniformity into the numerous conflicting state laws. While E-Sign is a step in the right direction, it creates as many problems as it strives to solve. E-Sign attempted to design a technology-neutral approach to e-commerce that allows for growth in an important, rapidly changing industry. While in one sense it does that, it also puts forth confusing, ambiguous, and contrary provisions. Inconsistent standards exist even within E-Sign itself.

Business Method Patents, Franchises, And The First Inventor Defense Act: Something Must Give, Matthew D. Thayne

Utah Law Review

To sustain the designs of the patent system, it must evolve as technology does, providing limited monopolies in technological realms the Constitution's framers could hardly have imagined. By the same token, we must not allow new technology to disguise as patent-worthy those inventions or ideas which are not deserving of patent protection. Patent grants can only be justified to the extent that they serve the interests of the public.

Municipal Wastewater Treatment Using Sequencing Batch Reactor (Sbr) Under Tropical Conditions, Maria Violetta Thomas

Student Works (2000-2009)

In this research project a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) plant was tested for performance in terms of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Suspended Solids (SS), under different temporal conditions. In addition, the removal of biological nutrients, namely ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and phosphorous in the form of phosphate, from the sewage, with anaerobic and aerobic operations using SBR was studied. The performance of the SBR plant was observed under two operating conditions whereby the variable studied was the total cycle time of the SBR process; i.e. 8-hour cycle mode and 6-hour cycle mode. The effluent quality …

Literature-Based Language Arts Extended To Science, Brandee M. Alexander

Graduate Research Papers

Literature can link all areas of the curriculum. Extending a literature-based language arts program to the science area can provide a rich learning environment supported by many different genres of literature and related expressive activities that contribute to the dimensions of learning.

A science unit of study on the five senses, with special emphasis on touch, for kindergarten children, was expanded through literature experiences and related expressive activities. The literature presented offered much content on the senses and models of language to nurture the children's emerging literacy. During the one-week of study, learner enthusiasm and peer interaction for reading and …

Is There An Age Of The Universe Problem After The Hipparcos Data?, Murat Özer

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have reanalyzed the age of the universe problem under the assumption that the lower limit on the age of the globular clusters is \sim11 Gyr, as predicted by the recent Hipparcos data. We find that the globular cluster and the expansion ages in a standard \lambda=0 universe are consistent only if the present value H_0 of the Hubble constant is \leq 60{\rm kms}^{-1}Mpc^{-1}. If H_0>60{\rm kms}^{-1}Mpc^{-1} some kind of modification of the standard \lambda=0 model is required. Invoking a (time-independent) cosmological term \lambda in the Einstein field equations, as has been done frequently before, we have found that …

Effect Of Flux Re-Distribution On Resistivity In Granular Ybco, Muhammad Muneeb Asim, Syed Khurshid Hasanain

Turkish Journal of Physics

Dc resistivity of a zero-field cooled YBCO was previously studied as a function of angle between applied field and transport current. The resistivity followed a sin^{2}\theta variation that was understood as a consequence of Lorentz force like effect. The resistivity deviated from the harmonic curve giving a minimum at low angles before following the true sin^{2}\theta behavior. The angle corresponding to minimum voltage \theta_{min} has been thoroughly studied in this paper as a function of applied field, transport current and temperature. sin^{2}\theta behavior of resistivity is not affected by the fields below Hc1 at their respective temperatures. The angle \theta_{min} …

Calculation Of The Potential And Electric Flux Lines For Parallel Plate Capacitors With Symmetrically Placed Equal Lengths By Using The Method Of Conformal Mapping, Erhan Albayrak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The classical problem of the parallel-plate capacitors has been investigated by a number of authors, including Love [1], Langton [2] and Lin [3]. In this paper, the exact equipotentials and electric flux lines of symmetrically placed two thin conducting plates are obtained using the Schwarz- Cristoffel transformation and the method of conformal mapping. The coordinates x , y in the z-plane corresponding to the constant electric flux lines and equipotential lines are obtained after very detailed and cumbersome calculations. The complete field distribution is given by constructing the family of lines of electric flux and equipotential.

The Temperature Dependence Of Dark Conductivity In Hydrogenated Amorphous Sin_X Films, Hüseyi̇n Tolunay, İlker Ay

Turkish Journal of Physics

Thin film samples of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride with varying nitrogen content were prepared by conventional plasma deposition from a mixture of SiH_4 and NH_3 . The dark conductivity (\sigma_d) of the films have been measured in the temperature range 420 K - 100 K. The conductivity is thermally activated with a single activation energy down to 250 K and conduction is dominated by electrons in extended states. A strong decrease is observed sigma _d when the nitrogen content is increased.

Study Of Slip Systems In Epidote Single Crystal, Salah-Ud Din, Munnawar Ahmad, Shahzad Chishti

Turkish Journal of Physics

Measurements of microhardness anisotropy by Knoop diamond indentations on the prismatic (100) planes of epidote crystals, point group 2/m and space group P21/m, show that microhardness is determined by crystallographic slip on the (100) systems. Microhardness anisotropy is explained in terms of the effective resolved shear stress distribution in these slip systems.
