Colegio Jacinto Treviño: A Microcosm Of The National Chicano Movement, Carlos Lino Cantú Dec 2008

Colegio Jacinto Treviño: A Microcosm Of The National Chicano Movement, Carlos Lino Cantú

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

Colegio Jacinto Treviño, based in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, was the first Chicano college in the United States. The Colegio met the same challenges that the national Chicano Movement endured. External threats, internal infighting, political mismanagement, and gender issues affected and attributed to the demise of the Colegio. This study provides a history of this alternative educational institution and highlights the founders of the college and the issues and people whom fought and supported its existence. It is crucial because the local college personified the national student and academic character of El Movimiento, the Chicana/o movement. …

An Evaluation Of The "Computer Technology And Programming" Curriculum In The Vocational Higher Education System In Turkey, Oktay C. Adiguzel, Cigdem S. Cardak Dec 2008

An Evaluation Of The "Computer Technology And Programming" Curriculum In The Vocational Higher Education System In Turkey, Oktay C. Adiguzel, Cigdem S. Cardak

Journal of STEM Teacher Education

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the “Computer Technology and Programming” curriculum offered at vocational colleges with a focus on the goals of the curriculum and student thoughts. Document analysis and semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather the data. Results revealed that there were mainly four problematic issues related to the “Computer Technology and Programming” curriculum. These were: poor quality of education, inadequacy of industry-based education, limited areas of specialization, and poor environment and inadequate opportunities. Results were discussed extensively and recommendations were offered regarding the structural problems of vocational colleges and the “Computer Technology and Programming” curriculum.

A Comparative Study Of Various High Density Data Center Cooling Technologies, Kwok Wu Dec 2008

A Comparative Study Of Various High Density Data Center Cooling Technologies, Kwok Wu

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

As the power density continues to increase in Data Centers, the need for effective and efficient cooling methods becomes more necessary. Various industry leaders have developed technologies as a solution to the problem of cooling. These proposed solutions aim to improve air-flow management within a data center. By identifying the technologies that allow for better cooling performance, data centers will have an opportunity to reduce cooling costs. This comparative study uses a CFD tool to identify which existing technology provides the best opportunity to reduce the cost of cooling at densities ranging from 2kW per cabinet to 16kW per cabinet …

Ttl Based Packet Marking For Ip Traceback, Vamsi Paruchuri, Arjan Durresi, Sriram Chellappan Dec 2008

Ttl Based Packet Marking For Ip Traceback, Vamsi Paruchuri, Arjan Durresi, Sriram Chellappan

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Distributed Denial of Service Attacks continue to pose major threats to the Internet. in order to traceback attack sources (i.e., IP addresses), a well-studied approach is Probabilistic Packet Marking (PPM), where each intermediate router of a packet marks it with a certain probability, enabling a victim host to traceback the attack source. in a recent study, we showed how attackers can take advantage of probabilistic nature of packet markings in existing PPM schemes to create spoofed marks, hence compromising traceback. in this paper, we propose a new PPM scheme called TTL-Based PPM (TPM) scheme, where each packet is marked with …

Explaining The Deadlock Of Military Modernization In Taiwan During 2001 To 2007: A Political-Economic Analysis, Pei-Shiue Hsieh Dec 2008

Explaining The Deadlock Of Military Modernization In Taiwan During 2001 To 2007: A Political-Economic Analysis, Pei-Shiue Hsieh

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis tries to explain why the Taiwanese have postponed several critical defense plans for seven years while China's threat toward Taiwan is increasing year by year. Many observers and scholars relate the deadlock over arms procurement in Taiwan to domestic political struggles since the DPP is not the majority party in the Legislative Yuan and opposition parties, such as the Kuomintang (KMT) and the People First Party (PFP), have repeatedly boycotted President Chen Shui-bian's policies. However, I found that domestic politics is insufficient for explaining such a deadlock. Rather, the U.S.China- Taiwan triangular relationship, including the variation of the …

European Union Food Law Update, Emilie H. Leibovitch Dec 2008

European Union Food Law Update, Emilie H. Leibovitch

Journal of Food Law & Policy

The European Union (EU) is facing major institutional challenges because Ireland rejected the Treaty of Lisbon last summer. The Treaty of Lisbon aims at modifying the institutional framework of the EU; more precisely, it aims in part at modifying the interaction of the various EU regulatory bodies with one another, as well as the interaction between the EU regulatory bodies and the national ones. The next few months will be decisive in determining whether the Treaty of Lisbon will finally replace the Treaty of Nice.

Comparison Of Invasive And Non-Invasive Techniques For Measuring Fiddler Crab Density In A Salt Marsh, Charles Robert Hubbard Dec 2008

Comparison Of Invasive And Non-Invasive Techniques For Measuring Fiddler Crab Density In A Salt Marsh, Charles Robert Hubbard

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Quantifying the density of burrowing crabs is challenging, and several techniques have been developed to accomplish it, including burrow counting, visual surveys of surface-active crabs, and substrate excavation. These techniques have been compared in mangrove forests but not in a salt marsh, nor has anyone attempted to excavate traps repeatedly for multiple days. Previous comparisons have not examined these techniques over the course of several months, nor considered the cost and precision associated with each technique. Therefore, from May of 2007 to April 2008, I conducted burrow, visual, single excavation, and repeated excavation surveys to estimate Uca pugnax density in …
