Liening On Dhr Construction, Llc, Herbert Sherman, Daniel James Rowley

Organization Management Journal

This case describes the attempts of a small residential construction company to close on a home that they have built. The problem for the characters in question is how to proceed in this situation given the fact that a third party lien has been put against their properties because the developer they bought the properties from had not paid his landscaper. The case has a difficulty level appropriate for a freshmen and/or sophomore level course. The case is designed to be taught in one to two class periods based upon the authors’ prior experiences in teaching this case. Instructional time …

Community Participation In Mine Action: A Review And Conceptual Framework, Ruth Bottomley

Global CWD Repository

In line with the Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) international strategy, which promotes a rights-based partnership approach, the NPA is committed to exploring new approaches to mine action that promote greater involvement of the local mine affected populations. A starting point in this process is a review and conceptual framework paper prepared for NPA by Ruth Bottomley. Through a review of existing documents, the paper provides a reflection on why community participation is important in mine action and outlines some of the challenges. Existing examples of community participation in mine action are compiled with documented strengths and weaknesses.

Testing The European Dream: Social Ideals And Cultural Realities In A Unified Europe, Lindsay Jorgensen

German and Russian Studies Honors Projects

This paper addresses the viability of the European Dream proposed by Jeremy Rifkin through an examination of the tension resulting from cross-cultural acts of violence. Using primary sources and reactions to these events in the press, I show the inadequacy of Rifkin’s theory to address certain aspects of European reality. Centering on the case of Germany, I then explore depictions of the European Dream and of the obstacles faced by non-Germans in pursuing that dream in a variety of texts by immigrant and minority authors. These case studies enable a closer inquiry into the structural flaws, the theoretical and practical …

Final Report - Effectiveness Of The Perched Aquifer Pump And Treat System, Serious Texans Against Nuclear Dumping (Stand), Inc.

Serious Texans Against Nuclear Dumping (STAND)

This is an evaluation of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) report: Annual Report in Support of Compliance Plan No. CP-50284-0001. This evaluation was performed for STAND, an organization of concerned citizens.

The Annual Report contains little original information. It briefly summarizes information contained in other DOE reports regarding clean-up activities at Pantex. It does not present a thorough analysis of the effectiveness of DOE’s clean-up activities. Because of this lack of information, DOE’s quarterly reports of analytical results2 were examined to evaluate the effectiveness of one of the major clean-up systems at Pantex - the perched aquifer pump and treat …

11,12-Bis(2,2-Dimethyl­Prop­Yl)-9,10-Dihydro-9,10-Ethenoanthracene, Joseph P. Herres, Mark A. Forman, Kraig A. Wheeler

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

The title compound, C26H32, was retrieved as one of three products from the reaction of tert-butyl­lithium with 11,12-dimethyl­ene-9,10-dihydro­ethenoanthracene and 4,5-diiodo­penta­cyclo­[4.3.0.02,4.03,8.05,7]nonane. The structure shows the expected ethenoanthracene geometry with mol­ecules arranged via van der Waals surfaces.

Effect Of Sand And Wood-Shavings Bedding On The Behavior Of Broiler Chickens, S. J. Shields, J. P. Garner, J. A. Mench

Housing and Confinement of Farm Animals Collection

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 2 different bedding types, sand and wood shavings, on the behavior of broiler chickens. In experiment 1, 6 pens were divided down the center and bedded half with sand and half with wood shavings. Male broilers (10/pen) were observed by scan sampling at 5- or 12-min intervals throughout the 6-wk growth period during the morning (between 0800 to 0900 h), afternoon (1200 to 1500 h), and night (2300 to 0600 h). There was a significant behavior x substrate x week interaction during the day (P < 0.0001) and at night (P < 0.0002). Drinking, dustbathing, preening, and sitting increased in frequency on the sand side but decreased on the wood shavings side during the day, as did resting at night. In general, broilers performed a greater proportion of their total behavioral time budget on the sand (P < 0.0001) as they aged. Broilers used the divider between the 2 bedding types to perch; perching behavior peaked during wk 4. In experiment 2, male broilers were housed in 8 pens (50 birds/pen) bedded only in sand or wood shavings. Bedding type had no effect on behavioral time budgets (P = 0.8946), although there were age-related changes in behavior on both bedding types. These results indicate that when given a choice, broilers increasingly performed many of their behaviors on sand, but if only one bedding type was provided they performed those behaviors with similar frequency on sand or wood shavings.

Foreign Investment And Disparities In Economic Development And Poverty Reduction: A Comparative-Historical Analysis Of The Buddhist Countries Of Southeast Asia, Harold Kerbo

Social Sciences

To remain economically competitive in the 21st century a nation must be able to secure resources beyond its borders and protect itself from other nations trying to do the same. While the situation has been shown to be more complex, the original assumption among world system researchers remains that multinational corporate penetration in the periphery can have negative effects on their prospects for economic development. But we now know that these negative effects upon long-term economic development can be prevented. The existence of a strong development state can be critical for this protection. In addition to supplying ‘good governance’ (as …

The Potential For Real-Time Traffic Crash Prediction, Mohamed Abdel-Aty, Anurag Pande, Liang Y. Hsia, Fathy Abdalla

Civil and Environmental Engineering

The development of freeway crash prediction models using intelligent transportation systems (ITS) archived data could be a substantial advancement in the field of real-time traffic management. Such models not only are expected to improve safety but also may go a long way to improve freeway operations by reducing incident-related congestion.

Because there is a need to use real-time traffic data emanating from loop detectors, the approach differs distinctly from previous studies estimating crash frequencies or rates on a certain freeway section through aggregate measures of flow (such as average daily traffic or hourly volumes).

Although the authors try to establish …

Existence And Uniqueness Of V-Asymptotic Expansions And Colombeau’S Generalized Numbers, Todor D. Todorov

Mathematics

We define a type of generalized asymptotic series called v-asymptotic. We show that every function with moderate growth at infinity has a v-asymptotic expansion. We also describe the set of v-asymptotic series, where a given function with moderate growth has a unique v-asymptotic expansion. As an application to random matrix theory we calculate the coefficients and establish the uniqueness of the v-asymptotic expansion of an integral with a large parameter. As another application (with significance in the non-linear theory of generalized functions) we show that every Colombeau’s generalized number has a v-asymptotic expansion. A similar …
