Temperature Dependence Of Silicon Carrier Effective Masses With Application To Femtosecondreflectivity Measurements, D. Mark Riffe

All Physics Faculty Publications

The conductivity effective masses of electrons and holes in Si are calculated for carrier temperatures from 1 to 3000 K. The temperature dependence of the electron mass is calculated by use of a phenomenological model of conduction-band nonparabolicity that has been fitted to experimental measurements of the dependence of the electron conductivity effective mass on carrier concentration. The hole mass is investigated by tight-binding calculations of the valence bands, which have been adjusted to match experimental values of the valence-band curvature parameters at the top of the valence band. The calculations are in excellent agreement with femtosecond-laser reflectivity measurements of …

High-Frequency Calibration, David Aadland, Kevin X.D. Huang

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

We present an alternative method for calibrating high-frequency models where the decision interval is shorter than the data-sampling interval. The standard method for choosing these "high-frequency" parameter values produces internal inconsistencies in the steady-state relations across frequencies. Our approach eliminates these inconsistencies and improves the fit of business cycle models by generating additional labor hours volatility.

Fuzzy Logic And The Sliding Scale Theorem, Frederic L. Kirgis

Scholarly Articles

The law operates principally in the context of ordinary transactions and relationships. Consequently it is important to develop insights into how it operates in the everyday world. To resolve recurring legal issues in everyday affairs, judges and other decision-makers sometimes use formulas. When a legal formula contains two elements, as several do, a process of fuzzy logic produces a result that is a function of a sliding scale between the elements. Thus, if physical presence in a new state + intent to remain = change of domicile, there will be degrees of each element, such that the degree of physical …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools : A Reflective Essay, Maria Trese Cashman

Graduate Research Papers

Monroe (1997) said, "School should not reflect what society is, but rather school should model what society should be" (p. 193). This statement summarizes my reasons for becoming an administrator. Iowa's public schools are some of the finest learning institutions in the nation. These same schools, however, frequently reflect the negative characteristics of society. Lack of respect, segregation of students, and elitist attitudes are prevalent characteristics of today's society and today's schools. I want to be a leader who will make the necessary changes to maintain our high academic standards for all students and make our schools a welcoming place …

Current Trends In Urinary Tract Infections: Is Cipro Really Necessary?, Kristin Stagg

Capstone Research Projects

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common causes of ambulatory care visits, physician-office visits and hospitalization each year in the US. Sexual activity primarily contributes to acquisition of UTI in women; nearly half of adult women have had a UTI at least once. The most common causative agent is E. coli, followed by Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, other Gram-negative rods and Group B streptococci, depending on geographical location. 1 Until the late 1990's, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) was the most commonly prescribed and effective treatment option, but the rampant development of resistance to this drug has …

From Computational Science To Internetics: Integration Of Science With Computer Science, Geoffrey C. Fox

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

We describe how our world dominated by Science and Scientists has been changed revolutionized by technologies moving with Internet time. Computers have always been well-used tools but in the beginning only the science counted and little credit or significance was attached to any computing activities associated with scientific research. Some 20 years ago, this started to change and the area of computational science gathered support with the NSF Supercomputer centers playing a critical role. However this vision has stalled over the last 5 years with information technology increasing in importance. The Holy Grail of computational science-- scalable parallel computing-- is …

Enabling Learning : The Crucial Work Of School Leaders, Jean Russell

Educational leadership

This paper addresses several fundamental questions. What are the most important, most highly valued and most powerful learning outcomes for students? What do students tell us about their experience of school, about the things that enhance or diminish their involvement in learning? What changes in teaching and learning approaches would enhance students' engagement in learning and help achieve the desired learning outcomes? Are school leaders seen by teachers to be important to the process of bringing about change in teaching practices? The paper argues that, amidst the complexity that constitutes school life, school leaders can enable learning through the maintenance …

The Effects Of A Direct Instruction Versus A Non-Direct Instruction Classroom Environment On Behavior Patterns At The Middle School Level, Pamela D. Davis

Theses & Honors Papers

The purpose of this research was to complete an historical comparison of behavior patterns exhibited by students at a small rural middle school in Southside, Virginia during the 2000-2001, and the current 2001-2002 academic years. In addition, the research includes components of the effects of a non-direct instruction classroom versus a direct instruction classroom environment on such behavior patterns. All students' discipline records in grades 6 through 8 were evaluated for the study. The numbers of referrals written on individual students were considered in addition to the types of referrals written.

Estimation Of Depth-Area Relationships Using Radar-Rainfall Data, S. Rocky Durrans, Lesley T. Julian, Michael Yekta

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

Depth-area relationships, such as those published by the National Weather Service in TP 40 and the NOAA Atlas 2, enable conversion of point rainfall depths to areal average depths for the same storm duration and recurrence interval. This problem of conversion is most germane to hydrologic analyses for moderate to large drainage basins, where point rainfall depths are not representative of the spatial distribution of a storm event. Historically, depth-area relationships have been developed on the basis of data from dense networks of recording gauges. However, with the ongoing accumulation of radar-rainfall records, radar-rainfall data represent an alternative to gauging …

Translation Of 'Balika Badhu: A Selected Anthology Of Bengali Short Stories', Monish Ranjan Chatterjee

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

This project, which began with the desire to render into English a rather long tale by Bimal Kar about five years ago, eventually grew into a considerably more extended compilation of Bengali short stories by 10 of the most well-known practitioners of that art since the heyday of Rabindranath Tagore. The collection is limited in many ways, not the least of which being that no woman writer has been included, and that it contains only a baker's dozen stories (if we count Bonophool's micro-stories collectively as one ) — a number pitifully small considering the vast and prolific field of …
