Real-Time Determination Of Soil Type, Water Content, And Density Using Electromagnetics, Vincent P. Drnevich, Chih-Ping Lin, Quanghee Yi, Janet Elaine Lovell Jan 2001

Real-Time Determination Of Soil Type, Water Content, And Density Using Electromagnetics, Vincent P. Drnevich, Chih-Ping Lin, Quanghee Yi, Janet Elaine Lovell

JTRP Technical Reports

The primary objective of this study was to explore the potential use of electromagnetic characteristics of soils using the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique to identify physical properties of soils. Three fundamental studies in this exploration are the frequencydependent electromagnetic properties of soils, the wave propagation in a TDR system, and the inverse analyses of TDR waveforms. The three-phase model for soils was extended to a four-phase model so as to account for the interface effect and hence the soil fineness. The physical parameters of the four-phase model are related to the frequency-dependent dielectric permitivity of the soil through a …

Seismic Design Of Deep Foundations, Antonio Bobet, Rodrigo Salgado, Dimitrios Loukidis Jan 2001

Seismic Design Of Deep Foundations, Antonio Bobet, Rodrigo Salgado, Dimitrios Loukidis

JTRP Technical Reports

Detailed investigations of pile foundations affected by earthquakes around the world since the 1960’s indicate that pile foundations are susceptible to damage to such a degree that the serviceability and integrity of the superstructure may be affected. Although numerous cases of seismically damaged piles are reported, the detailed mechanisms causing the damage are not yet fully understood. As a consequence, an effective seismic design of pile foundations has not been yet established in practice. Many road bridge structures supported on piles exist in southern Indiana. This is a region where the risk of occurrence of a dangerous earthquake is high …

The Correlation Between Family Adaptability Scores And Adolescent Incarceration, Katherine P. Richard Jan 2001

The Correlation Between Family Adaptability Scores And Adolescent Incarceration, Katherine P. Richard

Theses

Adolescent crimes continue to climb in number and level of violence despite efforts to curtail them. Little research has been done on the impact of family interaction styles on adolescent crime. This study attempts to confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis that adolescents who are incarcerated are more likely to score their families as having a rigid family interaction style based on the FACES III adaptability scale than adolescents who are not incarcerated. The family adaptability scores of approximately 50 adolescents in a midwestern lock down facility were compared to those of approximately 50 students selected from a midwestern church and …

A Database For Dismantling Of Obsolete Vessels., Pooja Sibal Jan 2001

A Database For Dismantling Of Obsolete Vessels., Pooja Sibal

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This project developed a software tool and associated databases to show information on ships available for cutting, the ship name, type, year built, UIC number, ship status, light ship displacement, length, beam, changes made, dead weight, number of propellers, propulsion type, dismantling site and vessel site of the ship(s). Information on the previously dismantled vessels is also kept. The Database for Dismantling of Obsolete VEssels (DOVE) also provides total towing cost for a selected ship based on the total tow distance, the light ship displacement of the ship, the unit tow cost/mile-ton and the tow preparation cost. A cutting technology …

Teachers' Conceptions Of The Nature Of Science: Analyzing The Impact Of A Teacher Enhancement Program In Changing Attitudes And Perceptions Of Science And Scientific Research., Aimee Lee Govett Jan 2001

Teachers' Conceptions Of The Nature Of Science: Analyzing The Impact Of A Teacher Enhancement Program In Changing Attitudes And Perceptions Of Science And Scientific Research., Aimee Lee Govett

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a residential science research experience in changing participants' attitudes and understanding of the nature of science and their view of themselves as science researchers. Data from interviews, journal writings, classroom observations and two pre-post instruments were used in the evaluation plan. As participants of this study, 16 inservice teachers (K–16) attended a two-week residential institute at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, West Virginia. The format of the institute featured a scientific research experience designed to arm its participants with the skills needed to model their …

Hidden Agendas And Ripple Effects: Implications Of Four Recent Supreme Court Decisions For Forensic Mental Health Professionals, Michael L. Perlin Jan 2001

Hidden Agendas And Ripple Effects: Implications Of Four Recent Supreme Court Decisions For Forensic Mental Health Professionals, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

Supreme Court decisions have implications far beyond the legal principles they articulate, and it is essential that individuals working in the forensic mental health and correctional systems understand the extent to which such decisions can affect their practice and the facilities in which they work. The seemingly-unrelated cases of Godinez v. Moran (1993) (establishing a unitary standard for the determinations of competency to plead guilty, competency to waive counsel, and competency to stand trial), Kansas v. Hendricks (1997) (upholding the constitutionality of one state's “Sexually Violent Predator Act”), Pennsylvania Department of Corrections v. Yeskey (1998) (ruling that the Americans with …

The paper also analyzes the records of individual lenders at meeting the credit needs of those four populations and ranks the lenders accordingly. The paper also analyzes trends in subprime lending to these four populations.

Rights, Rights Of Action, And Remedies: An Integrated Approach, Donald H. Zeigler Jan 2001

Rights, Rights Of Action, And Remedies: An Integrated Approach, Donald H. Zeigler

Articles & Chapters

Traditionally, courts equated rights and remedies. Consequently, courts sought to provide remedies for the violation of statutory rights even if a statute did not contain detailed enforcement provisions. In the 1970s, however, the U.S. Supreme Court transformed what had been a unified inquiry into whether a statutory provision should be judicially enforceable into three distinct questions and developed separate criteria for deciding whether a statute should be read to create a right, imply a right of action, or provide a remedy. Rights, rights of action, and remedies are inextricably related. The Court's attempt to separate these inseparable concepts has led …

A Constitutional Confluence: American ‘State Action’ Law And The Application Of South Africa’S Socioeconomic Rights Guarantees To Private Actors, Stephen Ellmann Jan 2001

A Constitutional Confluence: American ‘State Action’ Law And The Application Of South Africa’S Socioeconomic Rights Guarantees To Private Actors, Stephen Ellmann

Articles & Chapters

As constitutional protection of human rights expands around the world, the question of whether constitutional rights should protect people not only against state action but also against the conduct of private actors is once again timely. Few nations have so broadly, or so ambiguously, endorsed the application of constitutional guarantees to constrain private conduct (known outside the United States as "horizontality") as South Africa. The constitution approved in 1996 applies fully and without qualification to all "organs of state," and this term is defined in section 239 in potentially very broad terms, notably embracing "any other functionary or institution ... …

Feminism, Corporations, And Capitalism: Policy And Protest, Faith Stevelman Jan 2001

Feminism, Corporations, And Capitalism: Policy And Protest, Faith Stevelman

Articles & Chapters

To consider the relationship of feminism, capitalism and corporation law is a daunting task for the reason that it requires a reconsideration of first principles. What does a feminist perspective have to offer an analysis of the American business corporation and its place in our capitalist economy? How might such a perspective generate original research in the area of corporation law? Would a more "feminist" corporation necessarily be a less profitable one? If feminist law reforms came at a net economic cost to firms or shareholders (which is not the foreseeable result, necessarily) might the proposed law reforms be justifiable, …
