Impact Of High Occupancy Vehicle (Hov) Lane Incentives For Hybrids In Virginia, David Diamond

Journal of Public Transportation

This paper examines the impact of Virginia’s policy of exempting hybrid-electric vehicles from minimum occupancy requirements on state HOV lanes. Virginia registration statistics are used to compile hybrid market shares on a county level to compare the impact of HOV lane access to other socioeconomic variables. The HOV incentive is shown to have a significant impact in Northern Virginia, but not in the Hampton Roads area. The paper also addresses the criticisms and potential unintended consequences of the incentive policy, including whether it has impacted the “green” image of the hybrid in Virginia.

Closing The Gap: Education Requirements Of The 21st Century Production Workforce, Kyle B. Stone, Karen Kaminski, Gene Gloeckner

Journal of STEM Teacher Education

Due to the large number of individuals retiring over the next ten years a critical shortage of people available to work within the manufacturing industry is looming (Dychtwald, Erickson, & Morison, 2006). This shortage is exacerbated by the lack of a properly educated workforce that meets the demands of the 21st century manufacturer (Judy & D’Amico, 1997). Combine these two issues and the result is a steady reduction in qualified candidates for the millions of jobs available in the manufacturing industry. The purpose of this research was to identify if a knowledge gap exists between the manufacturing industry and the …

Criminal Law, Franklin J. Hogue, Laura D. Hogue

Mercer Law Review

The significance of the cases reported in this article represents the perpetual tension between the prosecution and defense of people accused of crimes. This tension, which creates the necessary balance between the State's interests and the accused's, makes for interesting debate by the Georgia Supreme Court justices and for important decisions that guide those attorneys who practice criminal law.

Death Penalty Law, Therese M. Day

Mercer Law Review

This Article provides a survey of death penalty caselaw in Georgia from June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. The cases included in this Survey were heard by the Georgia Supreme Court on interim appeal and direct appeal. Discussion is limited to claims that present new issues of law, refine existing law, or are otherwise instructive.

Real Property, Linda S. Finley

Mercer Law Review

The survey period proved to be an active one for cases and legislation involving real property. Particularly, the Georgia General Assembly, in apparent reaction to the housing and foreclosure crisis faced by the entire country, enacted consumer-friendly changes to the long-standing foreclosure statute. The courts were also active in review of real property issues, and as the number of cases involving real property issues continues to increase, it becomes more difficult to determine which cases should be contained in this Survey. Nevertheless, this Article discusses caselaw and legislative developments in Georgia real property law from June 1, 2007 through May …

Culture In A Box: Experiencing Kyrgyzstan Through An Interactive Learning Center, Mary Elizabeth Mccune

Creativity and Change Leadership Graduate Student Master's Projects

The goal of this project is to use creativity to produce an interesting and fun learning experience about the foreign country Kyrgyzstan. Using current research on the best ways to structure a learning environment, a display was created in which people of high school age and above can participate and learn new information. Kyrgyzstan was chosen as the topic of the learning center because it is a relatively unknown country to most Americans, yet a look into its culture produces a greater understanding and appreciation for the creativity of the people living there.

Draining A Polygon-Or-Rolling A Ball Out Of A Polygon, Greg Aloupis, Jean Cardinal, Sébastien Collette, Ferran Hurtado, Stefan Langerman, Joseph O'Rourke

Computer Science: Faculty Publications

We introduce the problem of draining water (or balls representing water drops) out of a punctured polygon (or a polyhedron) by rotating the shape. For 2D polygons, we obtain combinatorial bounds on the number of holes needed, both for arbitrary polygons and for special classes of polygons. We detail an O(n2 log n) algorithm that finds the minimum number of holes needed for a given polygon, and argue that the complexity remains polynomial for polyhedra in 3D. We make a start at characterizing the 1-drainable shapes, those that only need one hole.

Of Muslim Persuasion: The Politics Of Convivencia In Ceuta, Spain, Gabriel Alejandro Torres Colón

Anthropology ETDs

This dissertation examines everyday interactions and political struggles between self-identified Christians and Muslims in the North African Spanish exclave of Ceuta. I explore how each group envisions themselves as part of a local and national community, and then I consider how such visions affect local political processes in everyday life and institutional politics. This dissertation brings a political anthropological perspective to the study of multiculturalism and presents a theoretical perspective for the study of difference in various political contexts.

Educational Spending: Kentucky Vs. Other States, William Hoyt, Christopher Jepsen, Kenneth R. Troske

CBER Research Report

Excerpts from the executive summary:

The passage of the Kentucky Educational Reform Act (KERA) in 1990 had a dramatic impact on the funding of primary and secondary education in the state. The amount of money spent on education increased significantly with the passage of KERA with districts in rural areas of the state experiencing the largest growth in spending (Hoyt, 1999). This has led to a decline in the disparity between rural and urban districts in education spending. However, despite the increase in educational spending, Kentucky still lags behind the typical state in the U.S. in spending per student (Troske, …
