Analysis Of Per Capita Expenditures Of Suburbanizing Communities In Maine, New England Environmental Finance Center Sep 2005

Analysis Of Per Capita Expenditures Of Suburbanizing Communities In Maine, New England Environmental Finance Center

Economics and Finance

This study analyzes per capita expenditure trends among selected fast-growing Maine towns from 1970-2004. The ten communities studied are termed as “suburbanizing” towns. This term is used to describe towns that over the past 30-40 years have been in the process of transition from rural to suburban – in terms of their population and housing densities, their forms of government, and the services they provide, as well as other characteristics.1 Such towns are of particular interest because they have been absorbing a healthy percentage of the state’s population growth during this time period, often at the expense of Maine’s service …


Pathways From School To Further Education Or Work : Examining The Consequences Of Year 12 Course Choices, Sue Thomson Sep 2005

Pathways From School To Further Education Or Work : Examining The Consequences Of Year 12 Course Choices, Sue Thomson

LSAY Research Reports

Particular subjects or subject combinations are traditionally more likely to act as gateways to higher education or to vocational education and training, while other combinations are more likely to lead to the workforce or perhaps to unemployment. In general, tertiary or vocational qualifications facilitate the transition to work, and graduates earn significantly more than those who enter the workforce directly from school. However, some groups of students are less likely to participate in further education and training, including low achievers and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The literature has pointed to differences in curriculum participation according to background variables such …

Using Incongruent Equilibrium Hydration Reactions To Model Latter-Stage Crystallization In Plutons: Examples From The Bell Island Tonalite, Alaska, J. S. Beard, P. C. Ragland, Maria Luisa Crawford Sep 2005

Using Incongruent Equilibrium Hydration Reactions To Model Latter-Stage Crystallization In Plutons: Examples From The Bell Island Tonalite, Alaska, J. S. Beard, P. C. Ragland, Maria Luisa Crawford

Geology Faculty Research and Scholarship

Models using hydration crystallization reactions (the reverse of dehydration melting reactions such as amph + qtz = px + melt) for the Bell Island pluton define incongruent equilibrium crystallization paths from hydrous + melt + pyroxene + Fe-Ti oxides + calcic andesine (30%-50% solid) to a solid tonalite consisting mostly of hornblende, lower temperature end of Bowen's discontinuous reaction series and apply it to natural samples. Hydration crystallization provides an alternative to crystal fractionation for explaining variations in pluton chemistry, especially the compositions of late plutonic melts. Another characteristic of hydration crystallization is that the reactions have the potential to …


Comparison Of Affymetrix Genechip Expression Measures, Rafael A. Irizarry, Zhijin Wu, Harris A. Jaffee Sep 2005

Comparison Of Affymetrix Genechip Expression Measures, Rafael A. Irizarry, Zhijin Wu, Harris A. Jaffee

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

Affymetrix GeneChip expression array technology has become a standard tool in medical science and basic biology research. In this system, preprocessing occurs before one obtains expression level measurements. Because the number of competing preprocessing methods was large and growing, in the summer of 2003 we developed a benchmark to help users of the technology identify the best method for their application. In conjunction with the release of a Bioconductor R package (affycomp), a webtool was made available for developers of preprocessing methods to submit them to a benchmark for comparison. There have now been over 30 methods compared via the …


Swosu Fact Book Fall 2005, Denisa Engelman Sep 2005

Swosu Fact Book Fall 2005, Denisa Engelman

Fact Books

I am proud to introduce the fourteenth annual Southwestern Oklahoma State University Fact Book. The Fact Book provides a ready source of information to answer frequently asked questions about the University and its operations. Unless otherwise noted, the information in this Fact Book came from computer-generated reports that are printed following the tenth class day of each fall semester. Because of student fluctuations during the semester, numbers will not match other published enrollment numbers that may be based on enrollment at the end of a semester.

Tracing Requirements To Defect Reports: An Application Of Information Retrieval Techniques, Suresh Yadla, Jane Huffman Hayes, Alex Dekhtyar Sep 2005

Tracing Requirements To Defect Reports: An Application Of Information Retrieval Techniques, Suresh Yadla, Jane Huffman Hayes, Alex Dekhtyar

Computer Science and Software Engineering

To support debugging, maintenance, verification and validation (V&V) and/or independent V&V (IV&V), it is necessary to understand the relationship between defect reports and their related artifacts. For example, one cannot correct a code-related defect report without being able to find the code that is affected. Information retrieval (IR) techniques have been used effectively to trace textual artifacts to each other. This has generally been applied to the problem of dynamically generating a trace between artifacts in the software document hierarchy after the fact (after development has proceeded to at least the next lifecycle phase). The same techniques can also be …

Revisiting The Semantics Of Interval Probabilistic Logic Programs, Alex Dekhtyar, Michael I. Dekhtyar Sep 2005

Revisiting The Semantics Of Interval Probabilistic Logic Programs, Alex Dekhtyar, Michael I. Dekhtyar

Computer Science and Software Engineering

Two approaches to logic programming with probabilities emerged over time: bayesian reasoning and probabilistic satisfiability (PSAT). The attractiveness of the former is in tying the logic programming research to the body of work on Bayes networks. The second approach ties computationally reasoning about probabilities with linear programming, and allows for natural expression of imprecision in probabilities via the use of intervals.
In this paper we construct precise semantics for one PSAT-based formalism for reasoning with inteval probabilities, probabilistic logic programs (p-programs), orignally considered by Ng and Subrahmanian. We show that the probability ranges of atoms and formulas in p-programs cannot …


Co-Generation Of Text And Graphics, David Novick, Brian Lowe Sep 2005

Co-Generation Of Text And Graphics, David Novick, Brian Lowe

Selected Works Temporary Series

content in documentation, it is possible to produce both text and graphics from a single common source. One approach to co-generation of text and graphics uses a single logical specification; a second approach starts with CAD-based representation and produces a corresponding textual account. This paper explores these two different approaches, reports the results of using prototypes embodying the approaches to represent simple figures, and discusses issues that were identified through use of the prototypes. While it appears feasible to co-generate text and graphics automatically, the process raises deep issues of design of communications, including the intent of the producer of …


Usability Over Time, Valerie Mendoza, David Novick Sep 2005

Usability Over Time, Valerie Mendoza, David Novick

Selected Works Temporary Series

Testing of usability could perhaps be more accurately described as testing of learnability. We know more about the problems of novice users than we know of the problems of experienced users. To understand how these problems differ, and to understand how usability problems change as users change from novice to experienced, we conducted a longitudinal study of usability among middle-school teachers creating Web sites. The study looked at the use both the use of documentation and the underlying software, tracking the causes and extent of user frustration over eight weeks. We validated a categorization scheme for frustration episodes. We found …


Root Causes Of Lost Time And User Stress In A Simple Dialog System, Nigel Ward, Anais Rivera, Karen Ward, David Novick Sep 2005

Root Causes Of Lost Time And User Stress In A Simple Dialog System, Nigel Ward, Anais Rivera, Karen Ward, David Novick

Selected Works Temporary Series

As a priority-setting exercise, we compared interactions between users and a simple spoken dialog system to interactions between users and a human operator. We observed usability events, places in which system behavior differed from human behavior, and for each we noted the impact, root causes, and prospects for improvement. We suggest some priority issues for research, involving not only such core areas as speech recognition and synthesis and language understanding and generation, but also less-studied topics such as adaptive or flexible timeouts, turn-taking and speaking rate.

Presidential Report To The Congress: Net Benefit Analysis Of Us/Soviet Arms Control, David W. Hafemeister Sep 2005

Presidential Report To The Congress: Net Benefit Analysis Of Us/Soviet Arms Control, David W. Hafemeister

Physics

A net assessment of the benefits/losses of arms control treaties in terms of military significance was required in response to the START Resolution of Ratification. The response by the Executive Branch belabored smaller issues, avoided accomplishments and didn't carry out the net assessment.
