Accounting For Disability Insurance In The Dynamic Relationship Between Disability Onset And Earnings, Perry Singleton

Economics - All Scholarship

The onset of a work-limiting disability coincides with an immediate decline in earnings with little recovery. This study examines whether this relationship is attributable to the labor disincentives of disability insurance. The data come from the Survey of Income and Program Participation linked to administrative data from the Social Security Administration. The analysis suggests that disability insurance accounts for little of the initial drop in earnings at the time of disability onset, but its effect may increase as time since disability onset elapses. The results highlight the advantages of immediate, though temporary disability benefits.

Safety Standards And Indigenous Products: What Role For Traditional Knowledge?, Meredith Kolsky Lewis

Contributions to Books

Published as Chapter 8 in International Economic Law and National Autonomy, Meredith Kolsky Lewis & Susy Frankel, eds.

Indigenous communities have used native plants as foods and for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Some of these indigenous products have proven sufficiently popular that individuals outside the indigenous community have sought to consume, purchase and market them. In certain instances, new products have been derived from the indigenous plant and sold outside the indigenous community. In other cases, the indigenous product has been exported in its original form, but utilized in non-traditional ways in the export market. In recent years, …

Platform Project - Senior Design Group, S. Brady, R. Gamboa, D. Megalo, U. Pastran, T. Pursell

Engineering Senior Design Reports

Trinity University students are working with Medair to develop a water bladder platform. These platforms will be used by Medair in their emergency disaster relief efforts in remote areas of Southern Sudan. The water bladders that are supported by these platforms are used to deliver fresh and clean water to isolated communities, which use the water for cleaning, personal hygiene, and drinking. The platform must be at least 1 m tall to provide enough water pressure at the end of the fluid transpo1i system. The top surface of the platform must be at least 4m x Sm in order to …

Testing Mechanisms Of Subduction Zone Segmentation And Seismogenesis With Slip Distributions From Recent Andean Earthquakes, John P. Loveless, M. E. Pritchard, K. Kukowski

Geosciences: Faculty Publications

A long-standing goal of subduction zone earthquake studies is to determine whether or not there are physical processes that control seismogenesis and the along-strike segmentation of the megathrust. Studies of individual earthquakes and global compilations of earthquakes find favorable comparison between coseismic interplate slip distributions and several different long-lived forearc characteristics, such as bathymetry, coastline morphology, crustal structure, and interplate frictional properties, but no single explanation seems to govern the location and slip distribution of all earthquakes. One possible reason for the lack of a unifying explanation is that the inferred earthquake parameters, most importantly the slip distribution, calculated in …

How Advanced Are Smart Grids In Latin America?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

U.S. President Barack Obama last year announced the largest single energy grid modernization investment in the country's history, valued at some $8 billion. Other nations have similarly prioritized large-scale investments to modernize energy infrastructure by incorporating information and communication technologies to create a ""smart grid"" that uses two-way communications to better coordinate supply and demand, reduce costs and enhance efficiency. How advanced is the build-out of smart grids in Latin America and the Caribbean? What challenges do smart grids face in the region and how do they factor into the overall context of the energy sector? How will regional integration …

Lean Manufacturing As A Source Of Competitive Advantage, Ryan Scott Williams

Theses and Dissertations

The productivity advances generated from lean manufacturing are self-evident. Plants that adopt lean are more capable of achieving high levels of quality, shorter lead times, and less waste in the system. While it seems logical that higher levels of productivity and quality, as is common in lean companies, should result in positive financial performance, the research community has failed to establish the financial profitability of lean. Those researchers who have studied the financial returns issue report varying results. The goal of this research was to determine if a connection exists between lean and financial success and to discover why so …

Pyaline: Automatically Growing Language Family Trees Using The Aline Distance, Paul A. Huff

Theses and Dissertations

Several methods for determining a numerical distance between languages have been proposed in the literature. In this thesis I implement one of them, the ALINE distance, and develop a methodology for comparing its results with other language distance metrics. I then compare it with a leading distance metric, the LDND distance, proposed by the ASJP project.

Utilizing A Logic Model To Implement Software In A Non-Profit Organization: A Case Study, Krista Hixson

Purdue Polytechnic Directed Projects

ABSTRACT The need to uniformly, precisely and successfully implement software programs within a company is a necessity that is nearly universal. A company’s desired outcome must be defined to be sufficiently attained. A company’s directive for such an implementation must be clear and concise, with a finite description of the desired goal. Specific procedures and exact goals are required to be organized and effectively communicated. Through applied research, the purpose of this project is to analyze the creation, implementation and goal achievement of a unique logic model for a case study company. An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of …
