Declining Public Support For Public Higher Education In Pennsylvania - Manuscript, Angelo Armenti Jr. Nov 2012

Declining Public Support For Public Higher Education In Pennsylvania - Manuscript, Angelo Armenti Jr.

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

As I contemplate the decline in public financial support for my institution over the sixteen years since I arrived as president in 1992, I can state without fear of contradiction the following Assertion: California University of Pennsylvania is being privatized without a plan. The truth of this Assertion has implications for our University, our students, and most especially for our faculty, and those implications are challenging, inexorable and increasingly obvious.

A Case Study: Impact Of International Liberalization On The Indian Economy, Kishore G. Kulkarni, Shreesh Bhattarai Nov 2012

A Case Study: Impact Of International Liberalization On The Indian Economy, Kishore G. Kulkarni, Shreesh Bhattarai

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

This paper, using the Solow growth model looks at the impact of liberalization on India’s economic growth. Additionally, using empirical data, it analyzes the patterns, processes, and characteristics of India’s economic growth. The Solow model explains the long run economic growth via the change in the Solow residuals. This paper defines the Solow residual as International trade. This paper will show that International trade and fewer regulations on exports and imports have ignited high economic growth in India. After the late 1980s, India saw an immense increase in international trade. Led by low tariff rates, India saw a hike in …


Fdi In Vietnam: An Empirical Study Of An Economy In Transition, Christian Delaunay, C. Richard Torrisi Nov 2012

Fdi In Vietnam: An Empirical Study Of An Economy In Transition, Christian Delaunay, C. Richard Torrisi

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

Vietnam has emerged as an alternative smaller emerging economy market for FDI in the last five years, attracting both domestic market seeking and export oriented FDI. Vietnam continues to attract significant East Asian and OECD investors. This paper analyses the economic determinants of FDI for a smaller Non-BRIC emerging country, undergoing a rapid transition to a market driven economy in a region of great competitiveness among host countries and growing attractiveness to major source countries. The regression models presented in this paper show that while macro-economic variables such as GDP and to a lesser extent labor costs were predictably significant …


Have China & India Achieved Their Potential In Attracting Foreign Direct Investment?, Kaliappa Kalirajan, Raymond Prasad, Peter Drysdale Nov 2012

Have China & India Achieved Their Potential In Attracting Foreign Direct Investment?, Kaliappa Kalirajan, Raymond Prasad, Peter Drysdale

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

Since the last two decades, China and India have attracted the attention of multinational enterprises around the world. Apart from accounting for almost a third of the world population, both economies’ share in the world economy has grown substantially. Taken together they are expected to contribute around 1.8 percent of the 4.5 percent global growth expected in 2011. Currently, China hails as the second largest economy in the world replacing Japan (in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) terms), while India is the fourth largest economy, replacing Germany (IMF, 2011). Furthermore, based on the current economic growth trajectory (in PPP terms), China …


P21-Activated Kinase-1 Signaling Regulates Transcription Of Tissue Factor And Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor., Beatriz Sanchez-Solana, Mona Motwani, Da-Qiang Li, Jeyanthy Eswaran, Rakesh Kumar Nov 2012

P21-Activated Kinase-1 Signaling Regulates Transcription Of Tissue Factor And Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor., Beatriz Sanchez-Solana, Mona Motwani, Da-Qiang Li, Jeyanthy Eswaran, Rakesh Kumar

Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine Faculty Publications

Tissue factor (TF) is a cell-surface glycoprotein responsible for initiating the coagulation cascade. Besides its role in homeostasis, studies have shown the implication of TF in embryonic development, cancer related events, and inflammation via coagulation-dependent and -independent (signaling) mechanisms. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) plays an important role in regulating TF-initiated blood coagulation. Therefore, transcriptional regulation of TF expression and its physiologic inhibitor TFPI, would allow us to understand the critical step that control many different processes. From a gene profiling study aimed to identify differentially regulated genes between wild type (WT) and p21-activated kinase 1-null (PAK1-KO) mouse embryonic fibroblasts …


An Analysis Of Various Web Tracking Methods, William Huba Nov 2012

An Analysis Of Various Web Tracking Methods, William Huba

Theses

The accurate tracking of web clients has historically been a difficult problem. Accurate tracking can be used to monitor the activity of attackers which would otherwise be anonymous. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, there is no built-in method for tracking clients. Many methods have been developed for this purpose; however they primarily rely on the cooperation of the client and are limited to the current session and are not designed to track a client long-term or through different environments. This paper takes an in-depth look at the most popular methods of tracking web users and how well they preserve …


Web-­Based Single Sign-On: An Examination Of Security And Usability, Samuel Waters Nov 2012

Web-­Based Single Sign-On: An Examination Of Security And Usability, Samuel Waters

Theses

Among system administrators, users are generally considered the weakest link in the security chain. One of the biggest concerns is how users create and remember passwords. To try and ensure the security of their systems, administrators will generally create policies regarding how complex a user's password must be, and will exhort the user to never write down, share, or reuse that password. On the surface, this seems like good security sense, and from an administrator's perspective, it is. However, to the user, who may have dozens of unique accounts, stringent policies create a significant cognitive burden. As such, users are …

Surface Vacuum Energy In Cutoff Models: Pressure Anomaly And Distributional Gravitational Limit, Ricardo Estrada, Stephen A. Fulling, Fernando D. Mera Nov 2012

Surface Vacuum Energy In Cutoff Models: Pressure Anomaly And Distributional Gravitational Limit, Ricardo Estrada, Stephen A. Fulling, Fernando D. Mera

Faculty Publications

Vacuum-energy calculations with ideal reflecting boundaries are plagued by boundary divergences, which presumably correspond to real (but finite) physical effects occurring near the boundary. Our working hypothesis is that the stress tensor for idealized boundary conditions with some finite cutoff should be a reasonable ad hoc model for the true situation. The theory will have a sensible renormalized limit when the cutoff is taken away; this requires making sense of the Einstein equation with a distributional source. Calculations with the standard ultraviolet cutoff reveal an inconsistency between energy and pressure similar to the one that arises in noncovariant regularizations of …

Macroevolutionary Dynamics And Historical Biogeography Of Primate Diversification Inferred From A Species Supermatrix, Mark S. Springer, Robert Meredith, John Gatesy, Christopher A. Emerling, Jong Park, Daniel L. Rabosky, Tanja Stadler, Cynthia Steiner, Oliver A. Ryder, Jan E. Janečka, Colleen A. Fisher, William J. Murphy Nov 2012

Macroevolutionary Dynamics And Historical Biogeography Of Primate Diversification Inferred From A Species Supermatrix, Mark S. Springer, Robert Meredith, John Gatesy, Christopher A. Emerling, Jong Park, Daniel L. Rabosky, Tanja Stadler, Cynthia Steiner, Oliver A. Ryder, Jan E. Janečka, Colleen A. Fisher, William J. Murphy

Department of Biology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Phylogenetic relationships, divergence times, and patterns of biogeographic descent among primate species are both complex and contentious. Here, we generate a robust molecular phylogeny for 70 primate genera and 367 primate species based on a concatenation of 69 nuclear gene segments and ten mitochondrial gene sequences, most of which were extracted from GenBank. Relaxed clock analyses of divergence times with 14 fossil-calibrated nodes suggest that living Primates last shared a common ancestor 71-63 Ma, and that divergences within both Strepsirrhini and Haplorhini are entirely post-Cretaceous. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction of non-avian dinosaurs …


Nonprofit Funding Agencies’ Review Of Grant Recipients, Siobain Mcilvain Nov 2012

Nonprofit Funding Agencies’ Review Of Grant Recipients, Siobain Mcilvain

Honors Theses - Providence Campus

Nonprofits need to be just as responsible as public corporations. Nonprofit funding agencies have the responsibility for evaluating the organizations they fund to make sure that they are operating with high integrity, maintaining strong internal controls, remaining financially stable, and overall being good stewards of the funds received. This paper will explain the criteria that a funding agency should follow in order to affect this process, as well as how a recipient nonprofit will benefit from following the criteria.

Family Environment And School Environment As Predictors For Physical Aggression In Low-Income Children, Xiaoyu Li Nov 2012

Family Environment And School Environment As Predictors For Physical Aggression In Low-Income Children, Xiaoyu Li

College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The purpose of the current study was to examine the unique and collective contributions of child’s own characteristics, their family environment and school environment to the development of child physical aggression at Grade 5. This study was based on Bronfenbrenner’s Process-Person-Context-Time model (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). Children’s gender and their aggression at age 3 were included as person characteristics. Family environment (primary caregiver’s ethnicity, maternal education, home warmth, physical punishment, exposure to violence, family conflict, and parent-child dysfunctional interaction) and early child care experience measured by whether the child was in child care at both age 3 and age 4 …

Learning Within A Computer-Assisted Instructional Environment: Effects On Multiplication Math Fact Mastery And Self-Efficacy In Elementary-Age Students, Loraine Jones Hanson Nov 2012

Learning Within A Computer-Assisted Instructional Environment: Effects On Multiplication Math Fact Mastery And Self-Efficacy In Elementary-Age Students, Loraine Jones Hanson

Theses and Dissertations

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of basic multiplication mastery (0-12) and self-efficacy outcomes for elementary age students attempting to master multiplication facts in a Computer-Assisted Instructional (CAI) environment. Timez Attack (TA), a modern Internet based 3-D multiplication video game, was the computer program used in this study. Four third- and four fourth-grade classes of students at a public charter school received either 12 20-minute Teacher-Led Instructional (TLI), or TA multiplication practice sessions. Pre- and post Math Attitude Survey (MAS), timed multiplication tests, observations, and informal interviews were used to assess and compare TA and …
