Central Asian Leadership Succession: When, Not If, Eugene B. Rumer Dec 2003

Central Asian Leadership Succession: When, Not If, Eugene B. Rumer

Strategic Forums

This Strategic Forum paper examines the political dynamics of leadership succession in the Central Asian republics and assesses why succession will prove a critical strategic variable in the region’s future. Although regimes in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan showed relative stability in the early post-Soviet period, the author argues that transitions to a new generation of leaders could reshape internal politics, foreign policy alignments, and regional security. The analysis explains how succession patterns may either reinforce existing governance structures or exacerbate weaknesses, potentially triggering broader instability. The paper highlights the implications for U.S. interests, including counterterrorism cooperation, energy security, …

Externalities By Automobiles And Fare-Free Transit In Germany — A Paradigm Shift?, Karl Storchmann Dec 2003

Externalities By Automobiles And Fare-Free Transit In Germany — A Paradigm Shift?, Karl Storchmann

Journal of Public Transportation

To mitigate automobile-caused externalities, several European cities have introduced fare-free transit schemes. Best known are the plans introduced in Hasselt, Belgium, and Templin, Germany. The staggering increases in ridership in both cities seem to prove the overwhelming success of this policy. In addition, a study carried out for the German Federal Ministry of Transportation scrutinized the program in Templin and found that a positive net effect is likely and fare-free transit is a viable policy to curb automobile externalities. Fare-free schemes are based on the economic theory of the second-best. Automobile users should be encouraged to shift to environmentally friendly …


Effect Of Climate Change On Four Species Of Azteca In Monteverde, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, December 2003, Paul Mazzei Dec 2003

Effect Of Climate Change On Four Species Of Azteca In Monteverde, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, December 2003, Paul Mazzei

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

There has been extensive, research in the Monteverde area that has shown that both the abundance and range of lizards, amphibians, and birds have been affected global warming (Pounds (1999). Although there have been studies showing changes in abundance of arctic and temperate invertebrates, there have not been any studies that have shown invertebrate response to climate change in Monteverde. The four species of Azteca ants (xanthochroa, constructor, coeruleipennis, and alfari) were collected along roads in Monteverde and nearby Santa Elena and San Luis at elevations ranging from 700-1500m. The altitudinal ranges from this study were compared to ranges obtained …

Progress In Reducing Tobacco Use Across Nebraska, Jeff Willett, Ian Newman, Cheryl Wiese, Seth Emont, Tandiwe Njobe, Peter Finn Dec 2003

Progress In Reducing Tobacco Use Across Nebraska, Jeff Willett, Ian Newman, Cheryl Wiese, Seth Emont, Tandiwe Njobe, Peter Finn

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, causing over 400,000 deaths annually. In Nebraska each year, 2,400 adults die prematurely because of cigarette smoking. It is estimated that 45,000 Nebraskans now under the age of 18 will eventually die prematurely from cigarette smoking. Cigarette smoking is responsible for $419 million of Nebraska's annual health care costs (representing approximately 7 percent of the state's annual health care costs, including 12 percent of Nebraska's annual Medicaid expenditures), and smoking-related mortality results in over $400 million in forgone future earnings in the state per year.
In 2000, …


Impact Of Firm Performance Expectations On Ceo Turnover And Replacement Decisions, Kathleen A. Farrell, David A. Whidbee Dec 2003

Impact Of Firm Performance Expectations On Ceo Turnover And Replacement Decisions, Kathleen A. Farrell, David A. Whidbee

Department of Finance: Faculty Publications

Our analysis suggests that boards focus on deviation from expected performance, rather than performance alone, in making the CEO turnover decision, especially when there is agreement (less dispersion) among analysts about the firm’s earnings forecast or there are a large number of analysts following the firm. In addition, our results suggest that boards are more likely to appoint a CEO that will change firm policies and strategies (i.e., an outsider) when forecasted 5-year EPS growth is low and there is greater uncertainty (more dispersion) among analysts about the firm’s long-term forecasts.


The 1998 Act And The Resources Link Between Tax Compliance And Tax Simplification, Steve R. Johnson Dec 2003

The 1998 Act And The Resources Link Between Tax Compliance And Tax Simplification, Steve R. Johnson

Scholarly Publications

Tax compliance sometimes is thought of as purely a matter of administration. But there are important connections between substance and procedure.' Both affect compliance. This article explores how simplification of the substantive tax law can improve compliance. The particular emphasis is on how simplification can liberate human and material resources for the IRS without which otherwise well conceived efforts to improve compliance are likely ultimately to fail.


Out Of Office And In The News: Early Projections Of The Clinton Legacy, Lori Cox Han, Matthew J. Krov Dec 2003

Out Of Office And In The News: Early Projections Of The Clinton Legacy, Lori Cox Han, Matthew J. Krov

Political Science Faculty Articles and Research

During the first year after a president has left office, the tone and topic of news media coverage can influence a legacy greatly. This study examines coverage of Bill Clinton during his first year out of office in the New York Times and on network news shows and compares this coverage to that of Ronald Reagan and George Bush during their first years out of office. We find that Clinton received substantially more news coverage during the first year out of office than did either Reagan or Bush, and that Clinton's coverage in the media was also more critical and …

Changes In Immigration Law And Practice After September 11: A Practitioner's Perspective, Asli U. Bali Dec 2003

Changes In Immigration Law And Practice After September 11: A Practitioner's Perspective, Asli U. Bali

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the significant changes in U.S. immigration law and practice following the September 11 attacks, highlighting how these changes have eroded civil liberties, particularly for Arab and Muslim communities. It argues that the misuse of immigration laws as a tool for anti-terrorism has led to a shift towards a security-state apparatus, undermining constitutional protections and setting a dangerous precedent for future infringements on civil liberties.

The Importance Customers Place On Specific Service Elements Of Bus Rapid Transit, Michael R. Baltes Dec 2003

The Importance Customers Place On Specific Service Elements Of Bus Rapid Transit, Michael R. Baltes

Journal of Public Transportation

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a rapidly growing national trend in the provision of public transportation. At present, with more than 150 New Start Rail Projects currently in the FTA pipeline, a wide range of alternatives is necessary to fulfill the demand for cost-effective rapid public transportation. As a lower cost, high-capacity mode of public transportation, BRT can serve as an option to help address the growing traffic congestion and mobility problems in both urban and nonurban areas. Careful documentation and analyses of BRT systems and the unique features of these projects will help determine the most effective features offered …


Bus Transit And Land Use: Illuminating The Interaction, Andy Johnson Dec 2003

Bus Transit And Land Use: Illuminating The Interaction, Andy Johnson

Journal of Public Transportation

Attracting people to public transit in urban areas has proven to be a difficult task indeed. Recent research on the transportation–land use connection has suggested that transit use can be increased through transit-friendly land use planning. While significant evidence exists that a relationship between land use and transit is apparent, the exact nature of the relationship remains ambiguous. Despite the murky nature of the relationship, many practitioners and researchers have asserted claims regarding land use policy, namely TOD, and its effect on travel. This article examines the effect of land use, socioeconomics, and bus transit service on transit demand in …

Hot Melt Inks For Rotogravure-Formulation, Printability And Rheology, Hrishikesh Shreeram Bhide Dec 2003

Hot Melt Inks For Rotogravure-Formulation, Printability And Rheology, Hrishikesh Shreeram Bhide

Masters Theses

A new generation of "Hot melt inks for Rotogravure" was formulated. They melt during heating and reach printable viscosity between 75° C and 130° C, depending on formulation. After printing onto substrate, they solidify. Selections of the best formulations were done based on ink rheology, and print analysis. The formulated inks were also printed on the Moser sheet-fed proofing press .. The rheological data indicated that hot melt inks (without viscosity modifier) have viscosity in the range of 10°-101 Poise at 95°C. After printed on a laboratory gravure K-Proofer, the inks showed good reflective density (0.90 - Yellow, 1.30 …


A Historical View Of Intellectual Property Rights In The Palestinian Territories, Ihab G. Samaan Dec 2003

A Historical View Of Intellectual Property Rights In The Palestinian Territories, Ihab G. Samaan

LLM Theses and Essays

Before introducing any new intellectual property (IP) laws in the Palestinian Territories, it is necessary to determine which IP laws are in force there today. This study traces the development of IP laws in Palestine since the end of the Ottoman era until the Palestinian Authority assumed responsibilities in certain parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The study then summarizes the pertinent laws established as currently in force , and offers a comparative analysis of these laws with the requirements of the TRIPS Agreement. Finally, this study raises a number of crucial issues that must be addressed prior …


Gender Differences In Accurate Route Recall In Novice Drivers Using Landmarks In Electronic Maps, Kimberly K. Brantley Dec 2003

Gender Differences In Accurate Route Recall In Novice Drivers Using Landmarks In Electronic Maps, Kimberly K. Brantley

Master's Theses - Daytona Beach

Past literature has found a link between gender and accuracy of route recall in traditional paper maps using landmarks. Research also suggests that what is already known about wayfinding behavior in the physical world can be applied to computer-generated environments. The goal of this study is to merge these two conclusions to determine if gender and route recall differences remain constant for global, electronic maps. Analysis of gender by accuracy as measured by number of trials showed that males required fewer trials (M = 3.63) than females (M = 4.09), F (1,99) = 7.29, p < .05 and accuracy as measured by number of errors in trial 1 also showed that males had fewer errors (M = 3.33) than females (M = 4.09), F (1,99) = 5.79, p < .05. Analysis of landmarks by accuracy as measured by number of trials showed participants viewing Landmark High Maps required fewer trials (M = 3.64) than those viewing Landmark Low Maps (M = 4.12), F (1,99) = 7.68, p < .05. Accuracy as measured by number of errors in trial 1 showed participants viewing Landmark High Maps had fewer errors in trial 1 (M = 3.16) than those viewing Landmark Low Maps (M = 4.33), F (1,99) = 11.87.
