Developing A Strategic Is Plan For The Cherry Creek Sneak, Stephanie Bass

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

The Cherry Creek Sneak is the 3rd largest 5-mile race in the United States.Currently, 10% of the proceeds from the race are donated to the ColoradoGovernor's Council to fight childhood obesity. The co-owners of the race, Pat Downing and Paula Tiernen, live in different states, and because of this, are unable to manage The Cherry Creak Sneak, or any business regarding the race efficiently. In order to continue the race in the future, they have requested that the Cherry Creek Sneak website be the place where their business is conducted. The goal of this project, therefore, is to create a …

Effects Of Internal Versus External Attribution And Body Mass Index On Weight Prejudice, Margaret Richardson Dec 2005

Effects Of Internal Versus External Attribution And Body Mass Index On Weight Prejudice, Margaret Richardson

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The primary purpose of this research was to examine the effect of internal and external attribution and a person's Body Mass Index on weight prejudice. Data for this research was obtained from an ABC News/Time Magazine Poll (2004). Logistic regression was used to analyze the data. My hypothesis that people who internally attribute the cause of being overweight or obese will be more likely to be prejudiced toward overweight or obese individuals was supported by my findings. My hypothesis that people who internally attribute the cause of obesity and have a lower Body Mass Index would be more likely to …

The Effects Of Heat Stress On High Oil Corn, Summer Goldman Dec 2005

The Effects Of Heat Stress On High Oil Corn, Summer Goldman

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

High oil corn (HOC) is essentially dent corn that has been selected for high oil content in the scutellum. It is a value-added crop that can potentially offer a premium price for producers. Though southeastern U.S. producers have not had problems achieving sufficient yields, the oil content necessary for premium prices has been elusive. One of the most evident differences between these growers and their northern counterparts is the climate. Temperatures during the reproductive growth and grain fill periods are higher in southern latitudes. A two-part research project was conducted to further investigate the significance of temperature on oil content. …

The Residual Effect Of Novice Primary Teachers On Reading Achievement Scores, Connie Mayo Dec 2005

The Residual Effect Of Novice Primary Teachers On Reading Achievement Scores, Connie Mayo

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This dissertation was an exploratory investigation of the residual effect of novice primary teachers on reading achievement scores. The study employed the theory of pedagogical content knowledge as a basis for understanding teacher expertise and comparing the expert teacher to the novice teacher. The research sought to answer two major questions; (a) Is there a statistically significant difference between the reading achievement, (measured two years later) of students taught by teachers of differing experience levels in primary grades and the state mean for the appropriate grade level? and (b) Is there a statistically significant difference among the two-year-later reading achievement …

Implementation Of Coeus Grant Management Software At The Desert Research Institute, Patricia Kingsmill

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

The Internet and electronic commerce have opened up new opportunities for efficiency in research administration. Public Law 106-107 or the Federal Financial Assistance Improvement Act signed on November 20, 1999 and the President's Management Agenda have formally charged federal grant-making agencies with creating a single electronic system to find and apply for federal grant opportunities. In response to this directive, recipient organizations will need the ability to electronically prepare and submit proposal information and receive funding data from the sponsoring agency. This project reviews the implementation of a software package, MIT's Coeus Grant Management System, as a solution to the …

Authority And Worldwide Growth, Roger R. Keller Dec 2005

Authority And Worldwide Growth, Roger R. Keller

BYU Studies

Although Davies stands outside the Latter-day Saint tradition, he stands outside with respect. The tools he uses are those of the anthropologist, sociologist, and theologian. Being from outside the Latter-day Saint tradition gives him a perspective that those within the tradition find hard to replicate, and that is precisely Davies’s strength. He sees things “Mormon” in a slightly different way than those within the tradition and raises interesting questions that should be answered.

Citizen Voices On Pandemic Flu Choices: A Report Of The Public Engagement Pilot Project On Pandemic Influenza Dec 2005

Citizen Voices On Pandemic Flu Choices: A Report Of The Public Engagement Pilot Project On Pandemic Influenza

University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications

In the spring of 2005, gaps existed in the first Health and Human Services (HHS) Influenza Pandemic Plan and more guidance was considered desirable on how best to allocate the relatively meager supplies of vaccine likely to be available in the first months of a pandemic. To whom should it be given? To achieve what objectives?

This report describes the convening of a representative group of stakeholders and citizens-at-large, the structure and process of stakeholder and citizen dialogues and deliberations, and the decisions made and recommendations that were developed.

This Public Engagement Pilot Project on Pandemic Influenza (PEPPPI) was initiated …

Venture Capital And Firm Performance Over The Long-Run: Evidence From High-Tech Ipos In The United States, James R. Brown Dec 2005

Venture Capital And Firm Performance Over The Long-Run: Evidence From High-Tech Ipos In The United States, James R. Brown

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Despite widespread interest in the key role that venture capital plays in financing young, high-tech firms, little is known about the relative performance of venture-backed firms over the long-run. Using data from the U.S. high-tech sector, this paper examines the performance and financing of venture- and non-venture-backed firms during the decade following their IPO. Venture-backed firms survive longer, grow faster, are more R&D intensive, have generally superior operating performance, raise more external equity, and have a greater cumulative impact on the U.S. high-tech sector. These findings suggest that the true legacy of venture capital finance extends well beyond the IPO.

Sustainability Of The Chinese Economic Expansion, L. R. Klein, Wendy Mak Dec 2005

Sustainability Of The Chinese Economic Expansion, L. R. Klein, Wendy Mak

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

China's economy has developed in such a startling way that most people – economists or not – place, as starting from about 1978, and many are questioning whether or not it can last? At the same time, they are wondering about its effect on the United States, and the world at large, because China is such a big country. In this presentation, we will look at the question: Can the Chinese economic expansion be sustained? Personally, we believe that it is, in fact sustainable, not necessarily at the present speed, and cannot say confidently that it will, in fact, be …

Appropriate Measures To Use Money Laundering Prevention As An Antidote To Tax Evasion, Patricia Torres Serpel, Amir Shachmurove Dec 2005

Appropriate Measures To Use Money Laundering Prevention As An Antidote To Tax Evasion, Patricia Torres Serpel, Amir Shachmurove

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Money laundering, which is closely linked with tax evasion and informal trade, is facilitated by the poorly regulated financial institutions of "mafia nations". These nations make billions of dollars by laundering money and giving safe haven to drug dealers and corrupt politicians, allowing them to transfer money globally. Money laundering prevention policies require financial institutions to periodically update their customer's personal information. Furthermore, they attemp to match tax and transaction reports collected from banks and non-banks around the world to detect tax evasion. This research explains how efficient policies for preventing money laundering can help reduce tax evasion.

Who Adds Value To Ventures? Understanding The Roles And Relative Contributions Of Key Advisors In High-Technology Startups, David Y. Choi, Martin Stack Dec 2005

Who Adds Value To Ventures? Understanding The Roles And Relative Contributions Of Key Advisors In High-Technology Startups, David Y. Choi, Martin Stack

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

During the process of starting and growing a company, entrepreneurs seek help from their key advisors, which include its directors, advisory board members, financiers, as well as others informally affiliated with the venture. This paper examines how the various groups add value to a venture and assesses the relative value of their contributions. Through a survey of high technology entrepreneurs, we find that directors, advisory board members and informal advisors add significant value by offering their expertise in various fields. Surprisingly, investors add relatively little value, even in such key areas as strategic planning and finance. While professional venture capitalists …

Value Of An External Audit Revisited, Mary Ellen Oliverio, Bernard Newman Dec 2005

Value Of An External Audit Revisited, Mary Ellen Oliverio, Bernard Newman

Faculty Working Papers and Articles

A survey investigation of the value of an external audit was undertaken in the summer of 2004 that was based primarily on the same questions that were used in a similar survey completed in 1984. Because of changes in auditing and the new regulatory structure, the question arose about the perception of such changes among the sample from the Fortune 500 used in the survey. Four additional questions were added to those used in the original survey that sought opinions related to the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Among the key conclusions were these: 1. There has persisted …
