A Culture/Climate Examination Of Autonomous Vehicle Technology In The United States, James J. Mennie

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Autonomous Vehicle are coming. But mass adoption is at least ten years away according to consensus compiled from interviews conducted with industry thought lenders. Questions remain as to what technology those vehicles will contain as there is no universal platform for autonomous vehicle technology, since manufacturers, hardware and software companies are developing their own proprietary products. A/V technology is expected to improve productivity, and provide a plethora of societal benefits, but while we await the closure of the time gap the US will lose almost 40,000 citizens each year with traffic fatalities.

Connected vehicle technology, which is currently completing pilot …

Financial Well-Being In Low- And Moderate-Income Households: How Does It Compare To The General Population?, Sicong Sun, Olga Kondratjeva, Stephen P. Roll, Mathieu Despard, Michal Grinstein-Weiss

Social Policy Institute Research

Research Brief (18-03)

Research has increasingly shed light on the precariousness of many households’ financial situations. For example, a large national survey showed that 41 percent of adults lack sufficient liquidity to cover even a modest $400 emergency without taking on debt or selling an asset; a problem that is exacerbated for lower-income households. Compounding this issue is the fact that financial shocks, such as the loss of income or a major car repair, are common; 60 percent of U.S. households reported a shock in the prior year at a median cost of $2,000.

We would expect that these indicators …

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Comparison Between The Two Most Used Diagnostic Criteria, Enrique Gomez Pomar, Vanessa A. Concina, Aaron Samide, Philip M. Westgate, Henrietta S. Bada

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

Objectives: To compare the Shennan's and the consensus definition of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) workshop and analyze specific risk factors associated with each definition.

Study design: Retrospective analysis of records of 274 infants admitted to a level IV intensive care unit. Infants were classified as having BPD or no BPD by both definitions. Differences in incidence and risk factors were analyzed. Statistical methods included descriptive statistics, comparative tests, and marginal logistic regression modeling.

Results: The estimated difference in prevalence was 32% [95% CI: (26%, 37%), (p < 0.0001)] between both criteria. The prevalence of BPD was 80% higher based on the NIH criteria [RR = 1.80; 95% CI: (1.58, 2.06)]. Infants with no BPD by the Shennan definition were breathing room air with or without positive or continuous pressure support and were most likely to be discharged home on oxygen [OR = 4.47, 95% CI: (1.20, 16.61), p = 0.03]. Gestational age, birth weight, …

Communicating Information On Nature-Related Topics: Preferred Information Channels And Trust In Sources, Emily J. Wilkins, Holly M. Miller, Elizabeth Tilak, Rudy M. Schuster

Environment and Society Student Research

How information is communicated influences the public’s environmental perceptions and behaviors. Information channels and sources both play an important role in the dissemination of information. Trust in a source is often used as a proxy for whether a particular piece of information is credible. To determine preferences for information channels and trust in various sources for information on nature-related topics, a mail-out survey was sent to randomly selected U.S. addresses (n = 1,030). Diverse groups of people may have differing communication preferences. Therefore, we explored differences in channel preferences and trust by demographics using regression models. Overall, the most preferred …

An Evaluation Of Extended Producer Responsibility (Epr) As A Policy Option For Compostable Plastics In California, Amy Franz

Master's Projects and Capstones

This research project evaluates Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in California as a viable option to address the end-of-life management challenges identified for compostable plastics. The evaluation is done in three ways (1) review the main challenges identified for managing compostable plastics against the existing California EPR laws for mercury thermostats, agricultural pesticide containers, carpet, paint and mattresses to look for overlap in issues EPR has been used to address, (2) review compostable plastics in the context of the Product Selection Criteria used by California, (3) Look at the California Framework for setting up an EPR program to lay out what …

Marktplatz Zur Koordinierung Und Finanzierung Von Open Source Software, Georg J.P. Link, Malvika Rao, Don Marti, Andy Leak, Rich Bodo

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications

Open Source ist ein zunehmend beliebter Kollaborationsmechanismus für die Entwicklung von Software, auch in Unternehmen. Unsere Arbeit schafft die fehlende Verbindung zwischen Open Source Projekten, Unternehmen und Märkten. Ohne diese Verbindung wurden Koordinations- und Finanzierungsprobleme sichtbar, die zu schwerwiegenden Sicherheitslücken führen. In diesem Paper entwickeln wir acht Design Features, die ein Marktplatz für Open Source haben sollte, um diese Probleme zu beseitigen. Wir begründen jedes Design Feature mit den bestehenden Praktiken von Open Source und stellen einen Prototypen vor. Abschließend diskutieren wir, welche Auswirkungen die Einführung eines solchen Marktplatzes haben könnte.

Peningkatan Konduktivitas Baterai Litium Besi Fosfat Dengan Polianilina Didoping Asam Format, Iman Rahayu, Rukiah Rukiah, Diana Rakhmawaty Eddy, Atiek Rostika Noviyanti, Sahrul Hidayat

Chimica et Natura Acta

Beberapa tahun terakhir ini, baterai LiFePO4 sangat banyak dipelajari karena sifatnya yang ramah lingkungan, stabil dan kapasitas teoritisnya yang cukup tinggi yaitu (170 mAh/g). Namun, tingkat kinerja elektrokimia yang rendah telah membatasi aplikasinya. Penyebab kinerja yang kurang baik adalah konduktivitas yang rendah. Salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan konduktivitasnya adalah dengan penambahan material konduktif. Polianilin (PANI) merupakan polimer yang memiliki konduktivitas cukup baik serta sintesisnya sederhana. Sifat listrik polianilin dapat dikontrol melalui charge-transfer, doping dan protonasi untuk dijadikan sebagai suatu material konduktif. Selain itu, penambahan dopan akan lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan konduktivitas baterai. Dopan yang digunakan berupa asam yaitu asam format. …

Karakteristik Ekstraksi Dan Fermentasi Daun Indigofera Sebagai Pewarna Alami Pada Tekstil, Azafilmi Hakiim, Dessy Agustina Sari

Chimica et Natura Acta

Keberadaan potensi tanaman Indigofera di wilayah Jawa Barat yang dikenal dengan “Tarum”, banyak diperuntukan sebagai pakan ternak. Kemanfaatan lainnya adalah penghasil pigmen warna biru yang berguna sebagai zat warna alam (ZWA). Peranan ZWA pada kain tekstil memberikan dampak positif bagi lingkungan, karena material hasil buangan warna yang dicelupkan bersifat biodegradable dan mampu teruraikan. Kelemahan dari ZWA diantaranya terletak pada daya ikat,  daya cuci, daya luntur, dan daya tahan sinar yang dinilai tidak kuat menempel pada kain. Perlu adanya variasi perlakuan metode untuk memberikan informasi kajian terbaharukan pada produk material ZWA. Tujuan penelitian ini, memvariasikan beda perlakuan antara fermentasi (aerob) dan …
