Worldcom As An Example Of Creative Accounting And Subsequent Regulations Of The Accounting Industry, Lisa E. Tarras Nov 2003

Worldcom As An Example Of Creative Accounting And Subsequent Regulations Of The Accounting Industry, Lisa E. Tarras

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

The public has long viewed corporate America as ruthless pillagers in the name of profits. Today corporations are blamed for everything from eliminating mom and pop stores and the family farm to draining the environment in the process. Yet somehow no one, congressmen or minimum wage workers alike, were concerned enough to address this brewing epidemic. In the bull market of the 1990's, no one cared what corporations had to do to create profits, as long as those profits, and subsequent dividends and stock options financed their retirement funds. However, the corporate environment is much different today.

Examining The Post September 11, 2001 Practices Of Accredited And Non-Accredited Law Enforcement Agencies In The Aspects Of Training, Legal And Service Delivery, Eugene G. Savage Nov 2003

Examining The Post September 11, 2001 Practices Of Accredited And Non-Accredited Law Enforcement Agencies In The Aspects Of Training, Legal And Service Delivery, Eugene G. Savage

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

Homeland security measures and the preparation of local law enforcement are reviewed, in light of September 11, 2001, to determine their effect on the Constitutional rights of citizens, the delivery of law enforcement services, e.g., call response and the training methodologies, and the fiscal impact to fulfill the new policing mandates. The study reviews aggressive measures, normally vested with federal law enforcement agencies, to determine if local police are also utilizing similar methods for the sake of national security and if such measures are undermining ethical and legal practices previously exercised by local police. This research also examines the distinction …

All Linear Optical Quantum Memory Based On Quantum Error Correction, Robert M. Gingrich, Pieter Kok, Hwang Lee, Farrokh Vatan, Jonathan P. Dowling Nov 2003

All Linear Optical Quantum Memory Based On Quantum Error Correction, Robert M. Gingrich, Pieter Kok, Hwang Lee, Farrokh Vatan, Jonathan P. Dowling

Faculty Publications

An error-correction scheme that encodes an unknown two-photon state into four photons, up to one of which can be lost in the transmission is presented. Such a device acts as a simple repeater or quantum transponder when it is placed in series, and it acts as an optical quantum memory when it is inserted in an optical loop. Using this scheme, the conversion between flying qubits and stationary qubits in memory is not necessary, as the memory and quantum logic gates are composed fo the same optical resources.

Incommensurate Spin Density Waves In Iron Aluminides, D. R. Noakes, A. S. Arrott, M. G. Belk, S. C. Deevi Nov 2003

Incommensurate Spin Density Waves In Iron Aluminides, D. R. Noakes, A. S. Arrott, M. G. Belk, S. C. Deevi

Dartmouth Scholarship

Neutron diffraction in Fe(Al) reveals incommensurate spin density waves (SDWs) in alloys known to be spin glasses. The wave vectors for crystals of Fe(34Al), Fe(40Al), and Fe(43Al) show n varying from 11 to 6 for →q=2π(h±1/n,k±1/n,l±1/n)/a0, where (h,k,l) and a0 characterize the parent bcc lattice of the CsCl structure. The magnetic reflections are present far above the spin-glass freezing temperatures. These SDWs keep the spins on nearest-neighbor Fe atoms close to parallel, in contrast with SDWs in Cr, which keep nearest-neighbor spins close to antiparallel.

Film In The Classroom: Toward A More Effective Pedagogy, Jonathan Godwin Nov 2003

Film In The Classroom: Toward A More Effective Pedagogy, Jonathan Godwin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The postmodern critique has effectively called on anthropologists to reevaluate ethnographic authority when representing others. However, what is often found lacking in this criticism is an exploration of the ways in which audiences interpret anthropological knowledge. One crucial area that can be easily researched is audience reception of film in introductory anthropology classes. As professors of anthropology increasingly rely on film for illustrating anthropological concepts, we must have an understanding of how this medium is interpreted by student audiences. Film's ability to convey complex information without additional contextualization has yet to be substantiated and previous research has indicated that visual …

Frequency Distributions Of Escherichia Coli Subtypes In Various Fecal Sources Over Time And Geographical Space: Application To Bacterial Source Tracking Methods, Matthew A. Anderson Nov 2003

Frequency Distributions Of Escherichia Coli Subtypes In Various Fecal Sources Over Time And Geographical Space: Application To Bacterial Source Tracking Methods, Matthew A. Anderson

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Bacterial source tracking (BST) methods often involve the use of phenotypic or genotypic fingerprinting techniques to compare indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli isolated from unknown sources against a library of fingerprints from indicator bacteria found in the feces of various known source animals. The predictive capability of a library is based in part on how well the library isolates reflect the true population diversity of indicator bacteria that can potentially impact a water body. The purpose of this study was to compare the behavior of E. coli population structures in the feces of humans, beef cattle and horses across …

Continuous Hyperspectral Absorption Measurements Of Colored Dissolved Organic Material In Aquatic Systems, Gary J. Kirkpatrick, Cristina Orrico, Mark A. Moline, Matthew Oliver, Oscar M. Schofield Nov 2003

Continuous Hyperspectral Absorption Measurements Of Colored Dissolved Organic Material In Aquatic Systems, Gary J. Kirkpatrick, Cristina Orrico, Mark A. Moline, Matthew Oliver, Oscar M. Schofield

Biological Sciences

The majority of organic carbon in the oceans is present as dissolved organic matter (DOM); therefore understanding the distribution and dynamics of DOM is central to understanding global carbon cycles. Describing the time-space variability in colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) has been difficult, as standard spectrophotometric methods for CDOM determination are laborious and susceptible to methodological biases. Previously, measurements of CDOM absorption in discrete water samples by use of a liquid-waveguide capillary cell (LWCC) compared favorably with measurements made with a benchtop spectrophotometer. Given this, we focused on automating the LWCC technique to improve our spatial and temporal sampling capabilities …

Riser Design For Green Sand And Ductile Iron Castings, K. Michael Kuebler Nov 2003

Riser Design For Green Sand And Ductile Iron Castings, K. Michael Kuebler

Graduate Research Papers

Shrinkage defects in ductile iron riser contacts has long been one of the most frustrating defects to eliminate for the foundry engineer. While process variation can definitively contribute to the occurrence of these defects most can be prevented if the risers are properly designed and/or applied to the castings to be fed. There are several proven methods for the designing risers some of which go back over 40 years ago. There are also new methods available today with the advancements of simulation software. Four of these riser design methods were evaluated for their ability to produce an internally sound casting …
