Comparison Of The Enrollment Percentages Of Magnet And Non-Magnet Schools In A Large Urban School District, Emily Arcia
Comparison Of The Enrollment Percentages Of Magnet And Non-Magnet Schools In A Large Urban School District, Emily Arcia
Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)
Are magnet schools in a position to meet diversity ideals? As districts are declaredunitary and released from court ordered desegregation, many are framing their commitments to fairness and equity in terms of diversity—i.e., comparable rates of participation and comparable educational outcomes in all segments the student population. In this study, the enrollment statistics for magnet and contiguous non-magnet public schools in Miami-Dade County Public Schools, a large, urban district that had been released from court ordered desegregation, were compared to each other and to district enrollment averages at two time points: the year the district was declared unitary and four …

2006 Fall Engr333 Project Final Report, 2006 Fall Engr333
ENGR 333
The objective of this project was to demonstrate Calvin’s interest in alternative energy. The development of a short-term plan to implement a demonstration wind turbine and a long-term plan to determine the feasibility of a larger turbine for the future demonstrates this interest. The class was divided into five teams: management, external relations, long-term technology, short-term technology, and campus infrastructure. While each team had its own objectives, everyone worked together to share information and accomplish the overall project goals. This management technique provided necessary structure and simulated an environment typically found in a career environment.

Effect Of South Caroline Belt Law On Safety Belt Use, Sourabh Patki
Effect Of South Caroline Belt Law On Safety Belt Use, Sourabh Patki
All Theses
A number of factors and accessories help save lives and prevent injuries to road users, yet safety belts have become synonymous with automobile safety today, unlike any accessory before or since their introduction in automobiles. However, the scientific advances in automobile safety, followed by the acceptance of the necessity for safety in automobiles by both the manufacturers and the population, finally leading to the introduction of safety features and their incorporation within the laws occurred over a much longer span, continuing even today. Today's Safety movement aims at increasing safety belt using an awareness campaigns, accompanied by enforcement. Safety belt …

Protecting Mobile Ad Hoc Networks From Spurious Cts Attacks 'Carrier Sensing Based Deferral Mechanism', Sreekanth Pagadala
Protecting Mobile Ad Hoc Networks From Spurious Cts Attacks 'Carrier Sensing Based Deferral Mechanism', Sreekanth Pagadala
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The Request-To-Send (RTS)/Clear-To-Send (CTS) mechanism is used to combat Hidden/Exposed node problems in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). The popular implementation of the RTS/CTS mechanism may lead to virtual blocking of the wireless medium. Problem arises if a malicious node randomly sends out a large number of spurious CTS frames in order to falsely block regular nodes in its neighborhood. Such an attack is termed as spurious CTS attack. In this thesis, we investigate the effects of such spurious CTS attacks and propose a solution to mitigate the problem. Our proposed solution, Carrier Sensing based Deferral (CSD) mechanism, asks nodes …
Detecting Routing Misbehavior In Mobile Ad Hoc Network, Kejun Liu
Detecting Routing Misbehavior In Mobile Ad Hoc Network, Kejun Liu
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Routing misbehavior in MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) is studied in this thesis. In general, routing protocols for MANETs are designed based on the assumption that all par- ticipating nodes are fully cooperative. However, due to the open structure and scarcely available battery-based energy, node misbehaviors may exist. One such routing misbehavior is that some selfish nodes will participate in the route discovery and maintenance processes but refuse to forward data packets. Therefore, we propose the 2ACK scheme that serves as an add-on technique for routing schemes to detect routing misbehavior and to mitigate their adverse effect. The main idea …
Digital Dissection Of Radiographs, Using The Early Cretaceous Bird Confuciusornis And Photoshop Cs2tm, Sirelious White
Digital Dissection Of Radiographs, Using The Early Cretaceous Bird Confuciusornis And Photoshop Cs2tm, Sirelious White
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
In the past, radiographs (x-ray "shadowgraphs") have been used by paleontologists as ways to identify and capture bone images. Primarily, this was done to examine the skeletal elements without having to remove the surrounding matrix. Radiographs have so much three-dimensional information compressed onto a two-dimension image that it is often impossible to understand the entire skeleton. Obviously, it would be desirable to strip away the readily interpretable skeleton elements and examine those less well understood. An initial set of experiments were performed on a particular section of a radiograph of Confuciusornis sanctus, as a subject, while utilizing Photoshop CS2TM to …
Clustering Of Leukemia Patients Via Gene Expression Data Analysis, Zhiyu Zhao
Clustering Of Leukemia Patients Via Gene Expression Data Analysis, Zhiyu Zhao
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This thesis attempts to cluster some leukemia patients described by gene expression data, and discover the most discriminating a few genes that are responsible for the clustering. A combined approach of Principal Direction Divisive Partitioning and bisect K-means algorithms is applied to the clustering of the selected leukemia dataset, and both unsupervised and supervised methods are considered in order to get the optimal results. As shown by the experimental results and the predefined reference, the combination of PDDP and bisect K-means successfully clusters the leukemia patients, and efficiently discovers some significant genes that can serve as the discriminator of the …

Bloom Filters For Filesystem Forensics, Rachel Bourg
Bloom Filters For Filesystem Forensics, Rachel Bourg
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Digital forensics investigations become more time consuming as the amount of data to be investigated grows. Secular growth trends between hard drive and memory capacity just exacerbate the problem. Bloom filters are space-efficient, probabilistic data structures that can represent data sets with quantifiable false positive rates that have the potential to alleviate the problem by reducing space requirements. We provide a framework using Bloom filters to allow fine-grained content identification to detect similarity, instead of equality. We also provide a method to compare filters directly and a statistical means of interpreting the results. We developed a tool--md5bloom--that uses Bloom filters …
Some Novice Methods For Software Protection With Obfuscation, Saikrishna Aravalli
Some Novice Methods For Software Protection With Obfuscation, Saikrishna Aravalli
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Previously software is distributed to the users by using devices like CD.S and floppies and in the form of bytes. Due to the high usage of internet and in order to perform the tasks rapidly without wasting time on depending physical devices, software is supplied through internet in the form of source code itself. Since source code is available to the end users there is a possibility of changing the source code by malicious users in order to gain their personnel benefits which automatically leads to malfunctioning of the software. The method proposed in this thesis is based on the …
Angle Resolved Photoemission Study Of Epitaxial Chromium Dioxide Films, Daniel Borst
Angle Resolved Photoemission Study Of Epitaxial Chromium Dioxide Films, Daniel Borst
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Chromium dioxide is predicted to be a half-metallic oxide. The electronic properties of the surface region of CrO2 have been studied by performing angle-resolved ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (ARUPS) measurements on epitaxial CrO2 films. The CrO2 thin films were deposited on (100) and (110) – oriented TiO2 substrates by chemical vapor deposition. Previous measurements of the transport properties of devices made from epitaxial CrO2 films have shown very little spin polarization. Possible sources of this low yield are a surface Cr2O3 phase and/or surface contamination. The effects of sputtering the CrO2 films to remove the outer layer of Cr2O3 and any …
Nanocrystalline Transition Metal Ferrites Synthesis, Characterization And Surface Functionalization, Daniela Caruntu
Nanocrystalline Transition Metal Ferrites Synthesis, Characterization And Surface Functionalization, Daniela Caruntu
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, a new synthetic methodology for the high yield synthesis of spineltype transition metal ferrite nanoparticles has been developed. This approach is based on the complexation of the first-row transition metal cations with diethylene glycol (DEG) followed by the hydrolysis of the resulting chelate iron alkoxide complexes in the presence of an alkaline hydroxide. Due to the passivation of their surfaces with DEG molecules, the as-prepared nanoparticles are stable against agglomeration and can be easily dispersed in polar protic solvents (water, alcohols, etc.). Alternatively, a postsynthesis passivation with carboxylate ions can render the iron oxide nanocrystals highly dispersible …
Becoming And Un-Becoming, Monica Zeringue
Becoming And Un-Becoming, Monica Zeringue
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
My work is about becoming and un-becoming. I seek to capture a time of transition and possibility. The pre-pubescent girls in my drawings are actually reduced versions of me, going back to a time of innocence and potential, and I multiply them as a means of selfexploration. They split apart, re-combine, and re-configure, trying to make a new whole. They are rendered with detailed accuracy, yet the world around them is empty, like a partially recalled memory. In this thesis, I will explore the use of the self-portrait, twinning, and re-configuration as they relate to identity, memory, and nostalgia. I …

An Empirical Analysis Of Commercial Bank Profitability In Financially Liberalized Markets, James Nguyen
An Empirical Analysis Of Commercial Bank Profitability In Financially Liberalized Markets, James Nguyen
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Chapter 1 of the dissertation investigates the determinants of bank interest margin (NIM) and noninterest income (NII) using a system estimation approach for all commercial banks in a group of 28 financially liberalized countries during the period between 1997 and 2004. The empirical results generally suggest that NIM is directly influenced by operating costs, risk aversion, credit risk, the interaction between interest rate risk and bank risk, bank size, volume of credit, and NII. NIM is negatively related to interest rate risk and capital adequacy. NII is found to correlate positively with NIM, total assets, credit risk, liquidity risk, overhead …

Government Ownership, Firm Value And Choice Of Seo Methods--- Evidence From Privatized Chinese Soes, Ohannes Paskelian
Government Ownership, Firm Value And Choice Of Seo Methods--- Evidence From Privatized Chinese Soes, Ohannes Paskelian
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
In 1991, the Chinese government started the privatization process. A distinguishing feature of this privatization process is the presence of the government as a major shareholder in the privatized SOEs which creates a unique ownership structure that affects the firm performance, and, in turns its choice of equity issuing method. This dissertation investigates the relation between ownership structure, firm value, and the choice of equity offering method of the Chinese semi-privatized former state-owned enterprises. The dissertation consists of two essays. The first essay examines this relationship during the period 1993-1998 when the Chinese stock exchanges were at the infancy stage. …

Development Of An Image Noise Estimation Method And A Sub-Imaging Based Wiener Method, Eric F. Smith
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This research consists of three parts. The first part is an investigation of several popular image restoration techniques. The techniques are used to restore 2-D image data, f(x, y), that has been blurred by a known point spread function (PSF), b(x, y) and corrupted by an unknown amount of noise, n(x, y). Several sample images are restored using all of the techniques. Of the methods investigated the one which produces the best restoration results was determined to be the Wiener deconvolution method. The determination of the best method is based on the quality of the restored image and the required …
