An Analysis Of Service Sector Growth Effects On Income Inequality A Comparison Model Of Metropolitan And Non-Metropolitan Areas Of The Appalachia., Cheryl Lynne Peskar-Johnson Jan 2001

An Analysis Of Service Sector Growth Effects On Income Inequality A Comparison Model Of Metropolitan And Non-Metropolitan Areas Of The Appalachia., Cheryl Lynne Peskar-Johnson

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

It is very difficult to find regional economic restructuring studies that examine economic well-being by analyzing the effects of service sector growth on income inequality. This study is a regional economic restructuring analysis. Through the use of county level data of 399 Appalachian Counties this study produced a comparison model of metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas. The main goal of my thesis was to evaluate the growing economic differences in income potentials that have resulted in new spatial inequalities in the United States. By regressing income inequality (GINI INDEX) against service sector growth this study was able to support earlier studies …

Quantum Confinement Transition In A D-Wave Superconductor, Courtney Lannert, T. Senthil, Matthew P. Fisher Jan 2001

Quantum Confinement Transition In A D-Wave Superconductor, Courtney Lannert, T. Senthil, Matthew P. Fisher

Physics: Faculty Publications

We study the nature of the zero-temperature phase transition between a d-wave superconductor and a Mott insulator in two dimensions. In this "quantum confinement transition", spin and charge are confined to form the electron in the Mott insulator. Within a dual formulation, direct transitions from d-wave superconductors at half-filling to insulators with spin-Peierls (as well as other) order emerge naturally. The possibility of striped superconductors is also discussed within the dual formulation. The transition is described by nodal fermions and bosonic vortices, interacting via a long-ranged statistical interaction modeled by two coupled Chern-Simons gauge fields, and the critical properties of …

Electron Spectral Function In Two-Dimensional Fractionalized Phases, Courtney Lannert, Matthew P.A. Fisher, T. Senthil Jan 2001

Electron Spectral Function In Two-Dimensional Fractionalized Phases, Courtney Lannert, Matthew P.A. Fisher, T. Senthil

Physics: Faculty Publications

We study the electron spectral function of various zero-temperature spin-charge separated phases in two dimensions. In these phases, the electron is not a fundamental excitation of the system, but rather “decays” into a spin-1/2 chargeless fermion (the spinon) and a spinless charge e boson (the chargon). Using low-energy effective theories for the spinons (d-wave pairing plus possible Néel order) and the chargons (condensed or quantum-disordered bosons), we explore three phases of possible relevance to the cuprate superconductors: (1) (formula presented) a fractionalized antiferromagnet where the spinons are paired into a state with long-ranged Néel order and the chargons are 1/2-filled …

The Road Less Traveled: Alternative Routes To Certification, Rita Seedorf Jan 2001

The Road Less Traveled: Alternative Routes To Certification, Rita Seedorf

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

Washington State has recently designed alternative routes to certification for those who have worked in the schools as paraprofessionals and those coming into the profession from another career. Alternative routes to certification along with alternative certificates are becoming increasingly popular as teacher shortages increase and public demand grows for teachers better prepared in their subject areas. When incentives such as signing bonuses and higher pay do not entice enough certified teachers in urban areas, alternative certificates are offered. In its quest for quality teachers, Washington has decided to institute three alternative routes to certification rather than issue alternative certificates to …

Statistical-Learning Control Of Multiple-Delay Systems With Application To Atm Networks, Chaouki T. Abdallah, Marco Ariola, Vladimir Koltchinskii

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Congestion control in the ABR class of ATM network presents interesting challenges due to the presence of multiple uncertain delays. Recently, probabilistic methods and statistical learning theory have been shown to provide approximate solutions to challenging control problems. In this paper, using some recent results by the authors, an efficient statistical algorithm is used to design a robust, fixed-structure, controller for a high-speed communication network with multiple uncertain propagation delays.

The Assessment Of Satellite Remote Sensing As A Tool For Determining Sea Surface Temperatures In Nearshore Environments, Fabienne Faskel Jan 2001

The Assessment Of Satellite Remote Sensing As A Tool For Determining Sea Surface Temperatures In Nearshore Environments, Fabienne Faskel

Theses : Honours

The use of satellite remote sensing for environmental management applications has seen a marked increase over the past decade. Remotely sensed data are obtainable for a variety of parameters, such as mineral exploration, species migration, and for determining sea surface temperatures (SSTs). This study examined whether satellite remote sensing is a viable option for determining SSTs in coastal waters, as traditionally this application has only been applied to open-ocean, offshore waters. SSTs in the nearshore waters of Rottnest Island, Western Australia, were determined using in situ temperature loggers and remotely sensed satellite data. Initially the accuracy of the satellite sea …

Proceedings Of The First International Conference On Neutrosophy, Neutrosophic Logic, Neutrosophic Set, Neutrosophic Probability And Statistics, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In 1960s Abraham Robinson has developed the non-standard analysis, a formalization of analysis and a branch of mathematical logic, that rigorously defines the infinitesimals. Informally, an infinitesimal is an infinitely small number. Formally, x is said to be infinitesimal if and only if for all positive integers n one has xxx < 1/n. Let &>0 be a such infinitesimal number. The hyper-real number set is an extension of the real number set, which includes classes of infinite numbers and classes of infinitesimal numbers. Let’s consider the non-standard finite numbers 1+ = 1+&, where “1” is its standard part and “&” its non-standard part, …

Modeling Of Hand-Arm-Glove Vibration System And Testing And Evaluating Of Antivibration Gloves, Jianying Cui Jan 2001

Modeling Of Hand-Arm-Glove Vibration System And Testing And Evaluating Of Antivibration Gloves, Jianying Cui

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Work-related hand-arm disorders (HAVS) caused by exposure to vibration while operating vibrational tools were discussed; no clear dose-effect relationship between vibration exposure and HAVS was found yet. Ways to avoid or delay harmful impact on workers were explored, one means of which is using antivibration gloves during operation. Four types of antivibration gloves were tested per standard ISO 10819, test setup and procedures were presented. Two models of hand-arm-glove system were developed and analyzed; the models were used for predicting the gloves' transmissibility before carrying out actual tests. Model fit was done for the two models to the actual tested …

Participation Equality: Measurement Within Collaborative Electronic Environments-A Three Country Study, Roberto W. Zmud, Roberto J. Mejias, Bruce A. Reinig, Isabel M. Martinez-Martinez Jan 2001

Participation Equality: Measurement Within Collaborative Electronic Environments-A Three Country Study, Roberto W. Zmud, Roberto J. Mejias, Bruce A. Reinig, Isabel M. Martinez-Martinez

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

While the engendering of participation equality is generally viewed as a desirable group process attribute, findings from prior empirical research are both inconsistent and inconclusive regarding the measurement of participation equality within collaborative electronically supported environments. One explanation for this inconsistency lies in the manner in which the “participation equality” construct has been studied and measured. Results of analyses performed across three distinct national cultures utilizing 86 experimental groups and over 660 participants from the United States, Hong Kong and Spain are presented with recommendations for future research involving the participation equality construct. This is a first paper in a …
