Welfare Reform Sanctions And Financial Strain In A Food-Pantry Sample, Jean Oggins, Amy Fleming

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Survey and interview data about life after welfare reform were collected from food pantry clients in upstate New York in 1997 and 1999. By 1999, respondents were increasingly likely to have no work or benefits. Having no work or benefits was also associated with having been penalized (sanctioned) for not working or for noncompliance with welfare rules. Sanctions for not working averaged 89 days. Clients sanctioned for job loss tended to report problems with health (including children's health). Sanctioned individuals reported relatively high levels of financial strain, unstable housing, children's changing schools, and lack of a phone. Implications for policy …

Firewall Strategies Using Network Processors, Matthew Mariani

Theses

The emergence of network processors provides a broad range of new applications, particularly in the field of network security. Firewalls have become one of the basic building blocks of implementing a network's security policy; however, the security of a firewall can potentially lead to a bottleneck in the network. Therefore, improving the performance of the firewall means also improving the performance of the protected network. With the ability to direcdy monitor and modify packet information at wire speeds, the network processor provides a new avenue for the pursuit of faster, more efficient firewall products. This paper describes the implementation of …

Evaluation Of Tennessee Reference Markers, Jerry G. Pigman

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Reference markers were installed on sections of interstates and freeways in Tennessee in 1999 and 2000. An evaluation was conducted to determine if the use of reference markers at spacings of 0.2-mile intervals could improve the effectiveness of emergency response and incident management processes. The evaluation included an.general observational survey, meetings with emergency response personnel, and an opinion survey of the application, placement, color, and overall benefits of the reference markers. The condition of the markers was found to be very good and there appeared to be only minor problems within the relatively short period of time since installation.

The Effect Of Rhodium Reagents Upon The Hydroboration And Thermal Isomerization Of Quadricyclane, Dana Didonato

Theses

Simple hydroboration of a cyclopropane ring is not a reaction that is easily carried out. Attempts to hydroborate the three membered ring of quadricyciane, however are encouraged by the high strain energy (96 kcal/mol) of this tetracyclic system. Observation of nortricyclanol product would be taken as a sign of a successful oxidative hydroboration of quadricyciane. Some minor successes in earlier hydroborations of quadricyciane with a Rh (I) reagent, Wilkinson's catalyst, encouraged us. Wilkinson's catalyst was however better at inducing isomerization to norbornadiene than hydroboration of quadricyciane. The main focus of our research is the hydroboration of quadricyciane using RhCl3 since …

Transition-Metal-Promoted Hydroboration Of Alkenes: A Unique Reversal Of Regioselectivity, Christopher D'Souza

Theses

A unique reversal of regioselectivity was observed during the RhCb-nHbO catalyzed hydroboration/oxidation of 1-octene. While 4-octanol and 3-octanol were the major products, small amounts of octane and octanones were also obtained. Our experiments with isomeric alkenes revealed that the ratio of the isomeric alcohols was independent of the starting isomeric alkene. Under identical experimental conditions a similar reversal of regioselectivity was also observed with allylbenzene, but not with styrene and 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene. A highly efficient isomerization catalyst (Morrill's catalyst) generated in situ by the addition of catalytic amounts of a hydroborating reagent into a solution of RhCl3-nH20 in a suitable solvent …
