Developing Impervious Surface Estimates For Coastal New Hampshire, David G. Justice, Fay A. Rubin Dec 2002

Developing Impervious Surface Estimates For Coastal New Hampshire, David G. Justice, Fay A. Rubin

PREP Reports & Publications

Future population growth and the corresponding increase in development in the coastal zone of NH are widely recognized as major threats to the integrity of coastal systems and their watersheds. The potential impacts associated with the expansion of developed land, and specifically with increasing amounts of impervious surfaces – rooftops, sidewalks, roads, and parking lots - may include significant changes in water quantity, degradation in water quality, and habitat loss. Because asphalt, concrete, stone, and other impenetrable materials effectively seal the ground surface, water is repelled and is prevented from infiltrating soils. Instead, stormwater runoff flows directly into our surface …


An Analysis Of The Role Of Regional Safe School Program Administrators, Bobbi Mattingly Dec 2002

An Analysis Of The Role Of Regional Safe School Program Administrators, Bobbi Mattingly

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1996, legislation created the Regional Safe Schools Program in Illinois. Alternative public school programs were established for disruptive or violent students who were unable or unwilling to conform themselves to the expectations of a traditional school setting. There has been limited research on alternative education administration. The purpose of this research was to study RSSP administrators to determine their leadership type, the effect of organizational culture on their leadership approach, and their beliefs and dispositions of alternative education. The problems of the study were approached from the conceptual framework of a system that interlocks alternative education, educational administration and …

Letter From The Editors, Allan Young

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance and Business Ventures seeks to extend the focus of its predecessor, The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance, to emphasize the multidisciplinary nature of entrepreneurship. Accordingly, The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance and Business Ventures seeks submissions from all areas which focus on entrepreneurship. Our breadth extends both to the practical and the theoretical foundations of the field. We plan to publish both discursive and empirical treatments as well as instructionally oriented issues.


Small Firm Use Of Debt: An Examination Of The Smallest Small Firms, Susan Coleman Dec 2002

Small Firm Use Of Debt: An Examination Of The Smallest Small Firms, Susan Coleman

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Access to capital is an on-going challenge for small firms. Capital is required to address a broad range of needs: to cover start-up costs, to provide working capital, to secure facilities or equipment, and to hire employees. Most small firms are at a relative disadvantage, because they are too small to access the public debt and equity markets. Similarly, they are typically too small to show up on the radar screens of venture capitalists on patrol for the next potential hot IPO. Alternatively, very small firms are heavily reliant on bank loans, trade credit, and informal sources of capital including …


The Internet, Bank Structure And Small Business Lending, Steven G. Craig, Polly T. Hardee Dec 2002

The Internet, Bank Structure And Small Business Lending, Steven G. Craig, Polly T. Hardee

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The advent of the Internet has opened many opportunities for bankers to access new customers, increase convenience and expand product ranges in many markets, including that of small businesses. Yet anecdotal evidence reveals that smaller banks are reluctant to employ Internet technology in the small business market for fear of damaging the customer relationship developed through personal contact. These smaller, more simply structured banks tend to specialize in small business lending, possessing a comparative advantage in that market (Craig and Hardee, 2001). This is particularly so in relationship driven credits where personal knowledge of the borrower is paramount over financial …


Price Bubbles Of New-Technology Ipos, Haim Kedar-Levy Dec 2002

Price Bubbles Of New-Technology Ipos, Haim Kedar-Levy

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Asset pricing models with atomistic agents typically relax assumptions concerning rationality and/or homogenous information in order to track endogenous bubbles. In this model, identically informed rational agents hold a Perceived Law of Motion (PLM) for a single new technology asset at IPO, yet they differ with respect to risk aversion. By mapping risk preferences to strategies, we use marginal supply and demand functions to solve for the PLM if REE holds. By relaxing the assumption of complete knowledge of agent's tastes and wealth, post-IPO bubbles emerge where the Actual Law of Motion is an amplification (bubble) of the price processes …


Optimal Liquidation Of Venture Capital Stakes, Robert Dubil Dec 2002

Optimal Liquidation Of Venture Capital Stakes, Robert Dubil

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

We model the optimal liquidation behavior of a venture capital or non-diversified asset management firm faced with a sale of concentrated security holdings. As the firm?s stake is large, its sales can lead to permanent and temporary price depressions. At the optimum, the institution chooses the liquidation interval to balance the exposure to the market return variance against the impact of its own sales on the realized return. We obtain closed-form solutions for power impact functions uncorrelated with returns. We also consider market impact correlated with the return process, i.e. a case where liquidity evaporates during severe price dislocations.


Some Potential Means For Venture Valuation, Wolfgang Stummer Dec 2002

Some Potential Means For Venture Valuation, Wolfgang Stummer

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

In some modern venture valuation approaches, option pricing theory plays an important role. The aim of this paper is to present some tools and viewpoints which might be helpful for future investigations along this line. We model the value-dynamics Xt of an imbedded underlying X as a non-lognormally-distributed generalization of the geometric Brownian motion. In detail, Xt is supposed to be a solution of a stochastic differential equation of the form with non-constant volatility function ? (t) and Brownian motion Wt . For this, we discuss a certain decision problem concerning the size of the trend function b . Under …


Borrowing Patterns For Small Firms: A Comparison By Race And Ethnicity, Susan Coleman Dec 2002

Borrowing Patterns For Small Firms: A Comparison By Race And Ethnicity, Susan Coleman

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

This article explores the use of debt capital by small firms using data from the 1998 Survey of Small Business Finances. An examination of the data reveals differences in the characteristics and borrowing experience of small firms by race and ethnicity. Results indicate that although minority firm owners were just as likely to apply for loans, they were significantly less likely to be approved for them. Further, black small business owners were less likely to even bother applying for a loan, because they assumed they would be denied. These findings have implications for the ability of minority small business owners …


Crab Louse Infestation In Pre-Columbian America, F. M. Rick, G. C. Rocha, K. Dittmar, C. E. A. Coimbra Jr., Karl J. Reinhard, F. Bouchet, L. F. Ferreira, A. Araújo Dec 2002

Crab Louse Infestation In Pre-Columbian America, F. M. Rick, G. C. Rocha, K. Dittmar, C. E. A. Coimbra Jr., Karl J. Reinhard, F. Bouchet, L. F. Ferreira, A. Araújo

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Until now, Pthirus pubis infestation in ancient human populations had only been recorded in the Old World. We found crab lice on South American mummified bodies from the Atacama Desert region. Crab louse eggs were found attached to the pubic hairs of a 2,000-yr-old Chilean mummy. Well-preserved adults were found in sediment and clothing from a Peruvian mummy dated 1,000 yr ago. Paleoparasitological evidence expands the knowledge of the distribution of this ectoparasite in ancient populations. As with many other parasites, pubic lice recorded in Andean populations show the antiquity of this parasite in the New World. It is likely …


Analysis Of Integrated Farming Systems In Eastern Nebraska, Lori A. Hoagland Dec 2002

Analysis Of Integrated Farming Systems In Eastern Nebraska, Lori A. Hoagland

School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Agroecosystems in the U.S. are beset with social, ecological and environmental problems as large industrial farming methods are edging out small family-sized farms and replacing ecological services provided by biodiversity with synthetic inputs and practices. While many of the benefits of smaller diversified or integrated farming systems are well known, farm producers need a concrete model that shows how integration is possible and with what crops. The objective of this study was to investigate some of these supplemental farm activities, and identify and evaluate whether they were compatible given the time and resource constraints of a typical eastern Nebraska farm. …


Dear Author, Your Book Is Important To Me, Wilma D. Kuhlman, Carol L. Moutray Dec 2002

Dear Author, Your Book Is Important To Me, Wilma D. Kuhlman, Carol L. Moutray

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Research with letters written to authors for a contest showed that students often responded to literature in different ways according to the subgenre. Contemporary realistic fiction elicited many personalized responses while historical fiction elicited more responses that informed students' lives. Students noted that high fantasy and science fiction affected their writing skills, while mystery and other science fiction supported reading growth. The research indicates that writing letters to authors is a viable response activity for students.


When Do They Choose The Reading Center? Promoting Literacy In A Kindergarten Classroom, Susan K. Green, Clair Britt, Patsy Parker Dec 2002

When Do They Choose The Reading Center? Promoting Literacy In A Kindergarten Classroom, Susan K. Green, Clair Britt, Patsy Parker

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This action research project investigated activities designed to encourage children to visit the reading center in a kindergarten classroom. Three interventions were implemented on alternating days. Analyses suggested that these interventions led to increased voluntary use of the reading center. The days the intern read a story produced the most visits. This process of systematic data collection also increased monitoring of the children with the lowest literacy skills and provided opportunities to tailor literacy activities to their interests.


A Survey Of Contexts For Successful Literacy Tutoring, Dorothy Leal, Cathy Mowrer, Jodi Cunningham Dec 2002

Her grandson Marshall Armstrong collected these poems to preserve them for her family, and the manuscript is housed in the Illinois State Historical Library. Family members …


Ethnic Differences Of Lower Extremity Kinematics And Ground Reaction Force During Walking, Takuya Okamoto Dec 2002

Ethnic Differences Of Lower Extremity Kinematics And Ground Reaction Force During Walking, Takuya Okamoto

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although gait analysis has been conducted for a long time, there has been little attention paid to ethnic differences in kinematics and kinetics of walking gait. The purposes of this study were: to compare the lower extremity sagittal kinematics and ground reaction forces during walking gait cycle; and to compare the anthropometric dimensions oflower limbs during static standing between Japanese and American Caucasian males. 111 Thirty males from Indiana State University (fifteen from each ethnic group), aged twenty to twenty-nine years, served as subjects for this study. The lower extremity segmental characteristics were measured, using a tape measure, a Vernier …

Review Of Water Wars: Privatization, Pollution, And Profit By Vandana Shiva; South End Press, 2002, Sue Ann Gardner Dec 2002

Review Of Water Wars: Privatization, Pollution, And Profit By Vandana Shiva; South End Press, 2002, Sue Ann Gardner

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

A renowned expert in global agricultural and environmental issues, Shiva has produced another volume, this time on the perils of privatization and pollution of water resources. Covering water's significance, from its practical necessity to its spiritual essence, Shiva sets out to justify the premise that "The water crisis is the most pervasive, most severe, and most invisible dimension of the ecological devastation of the earth." Though the topic is timely and poignant, the presentation is more that of a collection of research notes than a fully formed essay. The organization is not straightforward either chronologically or in terms of subject …
