Improved Aperture For Modulation Transfer Function Measurement Of Detector Arrays Beyond The Nyquist Frequency, Alfred D. Ducharme, Sarah P. Temple
Improved Aperture For Modulation Transfer Function Measurement Of Detector Arrays Beyond The Nyquist Frequency, Alfred D. Ducharme, Sarah P. Temple
Faculty Bibliography 2000s
The design of an aperture for the generation of laser speckle with a flat power spectrum covering a wide band of the measurement spatial-frequency range is presented. This aperture allows for the measurement of modulation transfer function (MTF) from zero to twice the Nyquist frequency of a two-dimensional detector array. This design mitigates many of the measurement problems inherent in other aperture designs. The MTF measurement of a CCD detector array is used to demonstrate the measurement technique and illustrate the advantages of the new aperture design.

Unit Rectangle Visibility Graphs, Alice M. Dean, Joanna A. Ellis-Monaghan, Sarah J. Hamilton, Greta Pangborn
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
Over the past twenty years, rectangle visibility graphs have generated consider- able interest, in part due to their applicability to VLSI chip design. Here we study unit rectangle visibility graphs, with fixed dimension restrictions more closely modeling the constrained dimensions of gates and other circuit components in computer chip applications. A graph G is a unit rectangle visibility graph (URVG) if its vertices can be represented by closed unit squares in the plane with sides parallel to the axes and pairwise disjoint interiors, in such a way that two vertices are adjacent if and only if there is a non-degenerate …

Exploring Producers', Staff Members', And Board Members' Cognitive Frame On Decision Making In An Appalachian Organic Farming Venture, Curt D. Gervich, Max Stephensen Jr., Marc J. Stern
Exploring Producers', Staff Members', And Board Members' Cognitive Frame On Decision Making In An Appalachian Organic Farming Venture, Curt D. Gervich, Max Stephensen Jr., Marc J. Stern
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Sustainable development assistance organizations (SDAOs) aim to help producers of natural resource products move their goods and services to market. This article explores how the cognitive frames held by producers, staff, and board members in an agricultural SDAO in rural Appalachia influence organizational decision-making. This study explores identity, characterization, value, and membership frames. Data collected through semi-structured interviews with growers, staff, and board members reveal that the frames these stakeholders hold lead to the institutionalization of decision-making processes that allow organizational managers to make quick, consistent, and clear decisions while avoiding conflicts among members who hold competing frames. Simultaneously, these …

Meningkatkan Kreativitas Siswa Melalui Problem Posing, Ali Mahmudi
PYTHAGORAS : Jurnal Matematika dan Pendidikan Matematika
Di dunia yang begitu cepat berubah, kreativitas menjadi penentu keunggulan. Daya kompetitif suatu bangsa sangat ditentukan pula oleh kreativitas sumber daya manusianya. Tidak sebagaimana pandangan klasik yang menganggap kreativitas sebagai kemampuan yang hanya dimiliki oleh individu luar biasa, pandangan terkini mengenai kreativitas menempatkannya sebagai kemampuan yang dapat dibentuk atau dikembangkan melalui berbagai usaha, termasuk melalui kegiatan pembelajaran yang terencana dengan baik. Dalam artikel ini dikemukakan mengenai keterkaitan problem posing yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan pembelajaran dan pengembangan kemampuan siswa terhadap tiga dimensi utama kreativitas, yaitu kefasihan (fluency), fleksibilitas (flexibility), dan kebaruan (novelty).
Kata kunci: kreativitas, problem posing
On The Convergence Theorems Of The Mcshane Integral For Riesz-Spaces-Valued Functions Defined On Real Line, Muslim Ansori, Yosephus D. Sumanto, Novi Rustiana Dewi
On The Convergence Theorems Of The Mcshane Integral For Riesz-Spaces-Valued Functions Defined On Real Line, Muslim Ansori, Yosephus D. Sumanto, Novi Rustiana Dewi
PYTHAGORAS : Jurnal Matematika dan Pendidikan Matematika
This paper is a partial result of our researchs in the main topic "On The McShane Integral for Riesz-Spaces-valued Functions Defined on the space ". We have constructed McShane integral for Riesz-spaces-valued functions defined on the space by a technique involving double sequences and proved some basic properties which coincides with the McShane Integral for Banach-spaces valued functions defined on real line. Further, we construct some convergence theorems involving uniformly convergence theorems, monotone convergence theorems and Fatou's lemma in the sense of this integral.

Menghitung Nilai Probabilitas Pada Distribusi Normal Multivariate, Jaka Nugraha
PYTHAGORAS : Jurnal Matematika dan Pendidikan Matematika
Menghitung nilai probabilitas variabel random yang mempunyai distribusi multivariat normal, merupakan salah satu kendala dalam model probit. Persamaan probabilitas dalam model probit tidak berbentuk persamaan tertutup dan harus diselesaikan secara numerik maupun simulasi. Metode Gezn merupakan metode yang paling efektif untuk menghitung nilai probabilitas normal multivariat. Metode ini banyak diimplementasikan dalam beberapa "package" pada program R. Metode ini juga telah diimplementasikan dalam model multinomial probit yang populer disebut dengan simulator Geweke-Hajivassiliou-Keane (GHK).

A Mixed-Methods Investigation Of Community Attachment In Rural Romania, Natalia Buta, Mark A. Brennan, Stephen M. Holland
A Mixed-Methods Investigation Of Community Attachment In Rural Romania, Natalia Buta, Mark A. Brennan, Stephen M. Holland
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
This article explores the intricacies of community attachment using a multidimensional construct; attachment to the social and natural environment. A central focus is to assess whether attachment to the social and natural environment are distinctively predicted by length of residence, social interaction, and sociodemographic characteristics. Furthermore, this work elaborates on current understandings of community attachment by qualitatively exploring feelings of attachment toward the place of residence. All are explored in the context of rural Romania and communities managing the natural resources available to them. The results show the effect of several independent variables on attachment to social and natural environments. …
The Impact Of Rural-Urban Migration On Plantation Agriculture In The Niger Delta Region, Nigeria, Albert Ukaro Ofuoku, Christopher Okeleke Chukwuji
The Impact Of Rural-Urban Migration On Plantation Agriculture In The Niger Delta Region, Nigeria, Albert Ukaro Ofuoku, Christopher Okeleke Chukwuji
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
This study was carried out to unveil the impact of rural-urban migration on plantation agriculture productivity in the Niger-Delta Region of Nigeria. Data were collected from 660 rural households and managers/supervisors of 15 selected oil palm, rubber, and cocoa plantations in the Niger-Delta Region. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Most migrants were able bodied young adults. Labor shortage was experienced by all the visited plantations. Due to labor shortages, most of the plantations could not harvest completely. This resulted in foregone revenue for the plantations. Rural-urban migration significantly and positively correlated with labor …

The Texture Of Local Disaster Response: Service Providers' Views Following Hurricane Katrina, John J. Green, Anna M. Kleiner, Jolynn P. Montgomery
The Texture Of Local Disaster Response: Service Providers' Views Following Hurricane Katrina, John J. Green, Anna M. Kleiner, Jolynn P. Montgomery
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Disasters highlight elements of community vulnerability and resiliency. Effective responses are organized and managed to provide goods and services to survivors while also being supportive of the organizations attempting to meet these needs. Collaboration among local service providers, such as nonprofit, faith-based, and governmental organizations, allows communities to build upon internal and external networks and resources to prepare for and respond to disasters. Using a livelihoods framework, we analyze 139 qualitative field interviews conducted in the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Southeast Louisiana, to learn from the experiences, needs, and recommendations of people working on the front lines of disaster in …

Mississippi Business Environment Before And After Katrina: Challenges And Opportunities, Domenico Parisi, Steven Michael Grice, Jed Pressgrove
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Valid, reliable, and, most importantly, timely information is the most critical aspect for the design and implementation of successful emergency management strategies. This goal, however, is rarely achieved during the aftermath of a disaster. In this paper, we showcase how we used administrative records to assist Mississippi in evaluating the overall impact of Katrina on the state’s economy. Specifically, we assisted the state in developing a methodology to generate valid, reliable, and timely information on (1) the business environment and labor market and (2) rehiring and hiring practices. This information was used by the state to design recovery strategies and …

Journal of Rural Social Sciences
This paper provides a descriptive case study to develop a better understanding of the disaster recovery and rebuilding process in the three parishes (counties) in South Louisiana that were hardest hit by Hurricane Rita in 2005. The data come from a number of sources: official documents, news articles, published data, and personal observations. This case study’s implications raise questions about current approaches to disaster recovery. It also suggests strategies for practice, program development, and policy.
Campus Cowboys And Cowgirls: A Research Note On College Rodeo Athletes, Gene L. Theodori
Campus Cowboys And Cowgirls: A Research Note On College Rodeo Athletes, Gene L. Theodori
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
College rodeo has evolved from small, single-campus fund-raisers, celebrations, and/or competitions into an internationally recognized North American collegiate sport. Throughout its history, though, the sport has received virtually no attention in the sociological literature. In this research note I provide a descriptive summary of member characteristics and selected findings from a 2003-2004 National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association membership survey. I also empirically examine the association of size of place of residency during childhood with previous involvement in rodeo (i.e., before participating in college rodeo). Findings reveal that respondents who spent most of their childhood in more rural areas (i.e., in the …

Risk Perceptions After A Coal Waste Impoundment Failure: A Survey Assessment, Stephanie Mcspirit, Shaunna Scott, Duane Gill, Sharon Hardesty, Dewayne Sims
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
In mid October of 2000, a rupture occurred at the bottom of a coal waste reservoir owned by Martin County Coal Corporation (MCCC-Massey). Impounded slurry and sludge materials from the reservoir traveled through underground mine works and burst through two mine portals on opposite sides of the mountain releasing more than 300 million gallons of coal waste into creeks and waterways of Martin County, KY. This paper examines people’s reactions to the Martin County coal waste disaster by examining levels of reported concern and perceptions of risk across the impacted community of Martin County in comparison to similar coal mining …
Quality Of Life On The Agricultural Treadmill: Individual And Community Determinants Of Farm Family Well-Being, J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr., Chris Kast
Quality Of Life On The Agricultural Treadmill: Individual And Community Determinants Of Farm Family Well-Being, J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr., Chris Kast
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Individual quality of life (QOL) is a critical foundation of stable and cohesive societies. This research examines QOL among Iowa farmers, who as a group have seen their numbers decline precipitously over the past decades as the farm economy has undergone major restructuring processes. Farm families are nested in rural communities, many of which have also experienced persistent population loss and economic decline over the same period. A multilevel modeling approach is employed to examine determinants of subjective QOL over time, using 29 years of longitudinal data. Results point to positive relationships between household income, community vitality, and farm family …

Uncovering The Hidden Dimensions Of Rural Disaster Mitigation: Capacity Building Through Community Emergency Response Teams, M. A. Brennan, Courtney G. Flint
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
The increasing magnitude of hurricane damage in the southern United States in recent years, capped off by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, highlights the reality that local people and communities are often the first responders to crisis or disaster. Driven by policy and necessity, rural communities find themselves taking on more responsibility in preparing for and resolving local crises and emergencies. Locally-based Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) are teams of local volunteers, trained to aid in disaster preparation, provide first aid, and contribute other assistance during emergency situations. Focusing on the southern United States, this article explores the rural/urban distribution of …
