Dying To Drive – Occupational Motor Vehicle Collisions In Kentucky, Kentucky Injury Prevention And Research Center

Kentucky Haz Alerts--Motor Vehicle

To prevent motor vehicle injuries while working:

• Employers should provide mandatory comprehensive employee driver safety training programs including recognition of symptoms of driver distraction/inattention and driver fatigue.
• Employees should avoid distractions and wear seat belts at all times.
• Don’t place yourself in a potentially hazardous situation. Drivers should always stay alert and practice defensive driving techniques.

When Accuracy Hurts, And When It Helps: A Test Of The Empathic Accuracy Model In Marital Interactions., William Ickes, M. Minda Oriña, Jeffry A. Simpson

Psychology Faculty Publications - Archive

This study tested predictions from Ickes and Simpson’s (1997, 2001) empathic accuracy model. Married couples were videotaped as they tried to resolve a problem in their marriage. Both spouses then viewed a videotape of the interaction, recorded the thoughts and feelings they had at specific time-points, and tried to infer their partner’s thoughts and feelings. Consistent with the model, when the partner’s thoughts and feelings were relationship-threatening (as rated by both the partners and by trained observers), greater empathic accuracy on the part of the perceiver was associated with pre-to-posttest declines in the perceiver’s feelings of subjective closeness. The reverse …

Review Essay: Arnold H. Price, My Twentieth Century. Recollections Of A Public Historian, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This autobiographical account of a twentieth century life, moving into the twenty-first, is as captivating as it is instructive. Arnold H. Price, who for years served the Swiss American Historical Society as secretary and also generously assisted scholars such as Heinz K. Meier in their research on the relations between the United States and Switzerland-a Friendship under Stress, as H.K. Meier's study is aptly titled-features in this memoir his formative years in Bonn, Kiel and Ann Arbor, Michigan as well as his professional career in Washington, D.C. There he worked first in the Office of Strategic Services, the OSS, from …

Evidence Of The Zn Vacancy Acting As The Dominant Acceptor In N-Type Zno, F. Tuomisto, V. Ranki, K. Saarinen, David C. Look

Physics Faculty Publications

We have used positron annihilation spectroscopy to determine the nature and the concentrations of the open volume defects in as-grown and electron irradiated (E_el=2   MeV, fluence 6×10¹⁷   cm^-2) ZnO samples. The Zn vacancies are identified at concentrations of [V_Zn]≃2×10¹⁵   cm^-3 in the as-grown material and [V_Zn]≃2×10¹⁶   cm^-3 in the irradiated ZnO. These concentrations are in very good agreement with the total acceptor density determined by temperature dependent Hall experiments. Thus, the Zn vacancies are dominant acceptors in both as-grown and irradiated ZnO.

Unpacking New Policing: Confessions Of A Former Neighborhood District Attorney, Alafair S. Burke

Washington Law Review

This Article attempts to reframe a burgeoning scholarly debate about the appropriateness of neighborhood self-governance as both a means to local crime control and a normatively worthy end in itself. On one side of the existing debate stands an emerging and influential group of "new discretion" scholars, who defend the delegation of discretion to police officers attempting to enforce social norms that are often ambiguous. These scholars argue that the support and involvement of so-called "communities" in such law enforcement efforts can be an adequate substitute for traditional judicial scrutiny of police discretion, particularly the prohibition against vague criminal laws. …

Art Collections And Teacher Education, Penelope J. Collet

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

My interest in teaching collections began at Geelong Teachers’ College where I did my undergraduate training. Fellow students seemed to be oblivious to the marvelous artworks hanging on the walls throughout the buildings. The opportunity to study the F M Courtis Collection, initiated at Bendigo Teachers’ College, now part of La Trobe University Bendigo, raised obvious questions about the role of these collections in the early teaching colleges and what events or factors led to their beginnings. This case study will be situated within a broader picture of art collections in institutions across three states.

Shirking, Commuting And Labor Market Outcomes, Stephen L. Ross, Yves Zenou

Economics Working Papers

Recent theoretical work has examined the spatial distribution of unemployment using the efficiency wage model as the mechanism by which unemployment arises in the urban economy. This paper extends the standard efficiency wage model in order to allow for behavioral substitution between leisure time at home and effort at work. In equilibrium, residing at a location with a long commute affects the time available for leisure at home and therefore affects the trade-off between effort at work and risk of unemployment. This model implies an empirical relationship between expected commutes and labor market outcomes, which is tested using the metropolitan …

Some Law And Economics Of Historic Shipwrecks, Paul Hallwood

Economics Working Papers

This paper examines how US and proposed international law relate to the recovery of archaeological data from historic shipwrecks. It argues that US federal admiralty law of salvage gives far less protection to historic submerged sites than do US laws protecting archaeological sites on US federal and Indian lands. The paper offers a simple model in which the net present value of the salvage and archaeological investigation of an historic shipwreck is maximized. It is suggested that salvage law gives insufficient protection to archaeological data, but that UNESCO's Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage goes too far …

Discrimination In Metropolitan Housing Markets: Phase 3 - Native Americans, Margery Austin Turner, Stephen L. Ross

Economics Working Papers

This paper documents the results of a pilot paired testing program to examine the treatment of Native Americans by real estate agents in rental housing markets in three states and owner-occupied housing markets in one state. The study finds that the level of discrimination experienced by Native Americans in rental markets exceed those experienced by Hispanics, Blacks, and Asian-Americans.

The Export Insurance System And Export Supply Of Britain, Jai S. Mah

Economics Working Papers

This paper examines whether or not the export insurance subsidy provided by the British government has promoted Britain.s export supply. Unlike previous studies on the effectiveness of export subsidy in export supply, the current study examines the stationarity nature of the concerned variables. The unit root tests show that all concerned variables are integrated of order one. According to Johansen cointegration test, the concerned variables are not cointegrated. The empirical evidences using the first differenced data show that the export subsidy in terms of provision of export insurances by the government is not statistically significant in increasing export supply.

The Restructuring In The Post-Crisis Korean Economy, Jai S. Mah

Economics Working Papers

The current paper evaluates the restructuring measures implemented in the post-crisis Korean economy. Its policies taken after the economic crisis were quite successful in terms of economic recovery. The financial and corporate sector reforms undertaken by the Korean government contributed to strengthening the banking and corporate sectors, attracting FDI inflows. However, most indicators show worsening of income inequalities and workers. situation regarding job security. The strengths as well as the weaknesses of the development strategy of Korea and its reform measures undertaken since the occurrence of the economic crisis need to be differentiated.

CD1d presents lipid antigen to a conserved population of natural killer (NK) T cells, which participate in host immune defense, tumor cell rejection and suppression of autoimmunity. The levels of human CD1d expression vary significantly between individuals. To understand such variation, we sequenced the region up to 1.7 kb 5′ upstream of the translation start site and partially through exon 2 in 44 white Americans. We also studied two tagged single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 112 white Americans, 60 African-Americans, 88 Europeans, and 84 Chinese people from the region. Six SNP present in the region (-836C→T, -773C→T, -764C→G, -713A→T, -365A→G …

Manpower Allocation With Time Windows And Job Teaming Constraints, Xi Li, Yan Zhi Li, Andrew Lim, Brian Rodrigues

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

In the Manpower Allocation Problem with Time Windows and Job-Teaming Constraints (MAPTWTC), we have a set of jobs located at various locations where each job requires a team of workers. Each job has a time window and a job duration, during which everyone on the team has to be present. The job requirement is satisfied if and only if the required composite team works for long enough duration within the job's time window. The objective of the problem is find a schedule to minimize a weighted sum of the total number of workers, the total travelling distances of all workers …
