The Salvation Army And Government Funding - Blessing Or Bane?, Noreen Scott

Master's Theses

This study was conducted to explore the issues surrounding government funding of faithbased nonprofit organizations. The main question addressed was what, if any, are the positives and negatives for a religious nonprofit faith-based organization accepting government funding. This study examined the Salvation Army, a faith-based 50l(c)(3) charitable organization with a long history of accepting government funding for its social service programs. Seven Salvation Army administrators were interviewed to determine whether government funding for this organization's social services had any impact on the organization in four specific areas:

1. Finances

2. Staffing

3. Administrative reporting

4. Mission

Three noteworthy issues were …

Scheduling For Proportional Differentiated Services On The Internet, Manimaran Selvaraj

Theses and Dissertations

Proportional Differentiated Services can be provisioned in terms of bandwidth, delay, or packet loss. Several studies contributed schedulers and packet droppers that achieved proportional bandwidth, delay, or loss differentiation. However, all these schemes differentiated in terms of only one of the three metrics. A simple, unified, scalable, and robust scheme to simultaneously control all three metrics was felt important. By controlling just delay and packet loss, proportional differentiation can be achieved in terms of all three metrics. A robust adaptive scheduler for proportional delay differentiation services is presented. Proportional services are further policed by a class based packet dropper. The …

Sic Etch Development In A Lam Tcp 9400se Ii System, Janna Rea Bonds

Theses and Dissertations

SiC etch development has been performed in a Lam TCP 9400SE II system (a system meant for polysilicon etching and modified for SiC etching). SiC etching has never been reported in this particular system. Various parameters (carrier material, pressure, gas additives, gas flow, and electrode power) were examined and their effects determined on etch rate and resulting surface morphology. An efficient carrier material (graphite), operating pressure (25 mTorr), and gas flow rate (30 sccm) for obtaining peak etch rates were determined for this system. Peak etch rates of 1254 Å/min. in CHF3:O2, 4314 Å/min. in SF6:O2, and 1255 Å/min. in …

An Analysis For Evaluating The Cost/Profit Effectiveness Of Parallel Systems, Maria Teran

Theses and Dissertations

A new domain of commercial applications demands the development of inexpensive parallel computing platforms to lower the cost of operations and increase the business profit. The calculation of returns on an IT investment is now important to justify the decision of upgrading or replacing parallel systems. This thesis presents a framework of the performance and economic factors that are considered when evaluating a parallel system. We introduce a metric called the cost/profit effective metric, which measures the effectiveness of a parallel system in terms of performance, cost and profit. This metric describes the profit obtained from the performance of three …

Best Effort Mpi/Rt As An Alternative To Mpi: Design And Performance Comparison, Raghavendra Angadi

Theses and Dissertations

The Real-Time Message Passing Interface (MPI/RT) is an emerging real-time communications middleware standard for distributed real-time applications. The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de facto standard for high performance parallel application development. In this thesis, we describe how MPI/RT with best effort quality of service can be used as an alternative for MPI. Mercury Computer Systems' RACE embedded parallel computer is used as the platform for comparison of design and performance of these two standards. The main advantages MPI/RT has over MPI are its explicit support for communication channels and its emphasis on early binding. Design and implementation of …

A Framework For Automatic Ontology Generation From Autonomous Web Applications, Giovanni Modica

Theses and Dissertations

Ontologies capture the structure, relationships, semantics and other essential meta information of an application. This thesis describes a framework to automate application interoperability by using dynamically generated ontologies. We propose a set of techniques to extract ontologies from data accessible on the Web in the form of semi-structured HTML pages. Ontologies retrieved from similar applications are matched together to create a general ontology describing the application domain. Information retrieval and graph matching techniques are used to match and measure the usefulness of the ontologies created. Matching algorithms are combined together to produce global ontologies based on local ontologies inherently present …

Buffer Interference Architecture, Vladimir I. Prodanov

Electrical Engineering

An up to 3× breakdown voltage tristate capable integrated circuit CMOS buffer includes a level shifter circuit and a driver circuit. The driver stage includes a series connected n-channel and p-channel cascode stacks, each including at least three transistors. Dynamic gate biasing is provided for the third n-channel and p-channel cascode transistors to prevent voltage overstress of the cascode transistors. The level shifter circuit includes at least one pseudo N-MOS inverter including an input transistor, a protective cascode stack including at least one n-channel cascode transistor, and a load transistor. The level shifter provides at least one voltage shifted input …

The Case That Won't Go Away: Beseiged Institutions And The Massachusetts Teacher Tests, Larry H. Ludlow, Dennis Shirley, Camelia Rosca

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Teacher testing was inaugurated in Massachusetts in 1998 and a 59% failure rate among test-takers led to public shaming of the teacher candidates and their colleges and universities in the media. Within a two-year time period, low-performing teacher education programs in Massachusetts initiated a wide range of test preparatory activities which led to a dramatic increase in their students' pass rates. The authors separate colleges and universities into three categories and examine their differentiated responses to teacher testing. Their finding that institutions of higher education have responded effectively to teacher testing does not preclude critique of teacher testing as currently …

The Committee on Issues of Sexual Orientation (CISO), an Advisory Committee to the President of the University of South Florida, first convened in September 1993. Later renamed the Committee on Issues of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (CISOGI), this advisory body regularly meets with USF executive staff, human resources personnel, and representatives from the diversity and equal opportunity offices. This university-wide body has consulted with groups about adding non-discriminatory clauses and partner benefits for all employees, regardless of sexual orientation. In addition, this committee supports leadership initiatives and opportunities for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students at the University of …
