Examining The Cost-Outcome Relationship Of A Fortified Class-Size Reduction Program, Derick M. Kiger Jan 2002

Examining The Cost-Outcome Relationship Of A Fortified Class-Size Reduction Program, Derick M. Kiger

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Class-size reduction initiatives have been criticized for producing modest achievement gains for the resources they consume. Wisconsin’s Student Achievement Guarantee in Education (SAGE) was designed to amplify the achievement benefits of smaller classes by requiring complementary changes in the teaching and learning environment and accountability for results. This study examined SAGE in an urban school district. The achievement benefits realized by the evaluand were marginalized by high per-student costs and similar performance of comparison groups on a state-mandated reading test. Suggestions for improving the cost-outcome relationship were presented.

Gtap-E: An Energy-Environmental Version Of The Gtap Model, Jean-Marc Burniaux, Truong P. Truong Jan 2002

Gtap-E: An Energy-Environmental Version Of The Gtap Model, Jean-Marc Burniaux, Truong P. Truong

GTAP Technical Papers Archive

Energy is an important commodity in many economic activities. Its usage affects the environment via CO2 emissions and the Greenhouse Effect. Modeling the energy-economy-environment-trade linkages is an important objective in applied economic policy analysis. Previously, however, the modeling of these linkages in GTAP has been incomplete. This is because energy substitution, a key factor in this chain of linkages, is absent from the standard model specification. This technical paper remedies this deficiency by incorporating energy substitution into the standard GTAP model. It begins by first reviewing some of the existing approaches to this problem in contemporary CGE models. It then …

Circulatory Adjuncts: Newer Methods Of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Charles F. Babbs Jan 2002

Circulatory Adjuncts: Newer Methods Of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Current standard CPR only provides about one fifth of normal forward blood flow and only about one quarter of the blood flow that is theoretically possible with advanced external techniques. Two such techniques are now approved as optional alternatives in resuscitation guidelines. This chapter reviews modern understanding of the physiology of blood flow during CPR and practical aspects of utilizing more advanced resuscitation methods. When properly performed these methods produce statistically significant increases in survival.

Concentration Fields In The Solidification Processing Of Metal Matrix Composites, B Moussa, J E. Simpson, S V. Garimella Jan 2002

Concentration Fields In The Solidification Processing Of Metal Matrix Composites, B Moussa, J E. Simpson, S V. Garimella

CTRC Research Publications

A numerical investigation of the solidification of a binary alloy (Al-1.0 wt.% Cu) around cylindrical fibers with different fiber layouts and thermophysical properties was undertaken to gain insight into the processing of fiber-rein- forced metal matrix composites. The focus of this study was on solute transport and redistribution during the solidi-fication process, and the resulting concentration fields in the solidified alloy matrix. Change of phase in the alloy was formulated using a modified version of the temperature-transforming method for the energy equation. A source term that accounts for the solute rejection at the interface was incorporated into the solute concentration …

A Technical Report On A Polytopic System Approach For The Hybrid Control Of A Diesel Engine Using Vgt/Egr, Sorin Bengea, Ray Decarlo, Martin Corless, Giorgio Rizzoni Jan 2002

A Technical Report On A Polytopic System Approach For The Hybrid Control Of A Diesel Engine Using Vgt/Egr, Sorin Bengea, Ray Decarlo, Martin Corless, Giorgio Rizzoni

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This paper develops a hybrid/gain scheduled control to move a diesel engine through a driving profile represented as a set of 12 operating points in the 7-dimensional state space of a 7th order nonlinear state model. The calculations for the control design are based on a 3rd order(reduced) model of the Diesel engine on which state space is projected the 12 operating points. About each operating point, we generate a 3rd order nonlinear error models of the Diesel engine. Using the error model for each operating point, a control design is set forth as a system of LMI's. The solution …

Optimum Compression To Ventilation Ratios In Cpr Under Realistic, Practical Conditions: A Physiological And Mathematical Analysis, Charles F. Babbs, Karl B. Kern Jan 2002

Optimum Compression To Ventilation Ratios In Cpr Under Realistic, Practical Conditions: A Physiological And Mathematical Analysis, Charles F. Babbs, Karl B. Kern

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Objective: To develop and evaluate a practical formula for the optimum ratio of compressions to ventilations in CPR. The optimum value of a parameter is that for which a desired result is maximized. Here the desired result is assumed to be either oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues or a combination of oxygen delivery and waste product removal. Method: Equations describing oxygen delivery and blood flow during CPR as functions of the number of compressions and the number of ventilations delivered over time were developed from principles of classical physiology. These equations were solved explicitly in terms of the compression/ventilation ratio …
