The Impact Of Presidential Field Offices In Ohio, 2008-2012, Colin D. Swearingen Oct 2026

The Impact Of Presidential Field Offices In Ohio, 2008-2012, Colin D. Swearingen

The Journal of Economics and Politics

Does a community’s proximity to a presidential field office impact presidential election results? Applying community-level data from the American Community Survey, we examine the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections in the battleground state of Ohio. Using spatial regression, we find that the number of Obama field offices within 10 miles significantly increased his share of the vote in 2012. While proximity to a McCain Victory Center statistically decreased a community’s Obama vote share, this result was not substantive. In 2012, a community’s proximity to a Romney field office did not influence the results. Proximity to an Obama field office also …


The Politics Of Passing And Implementing Medical Marijuana In Ohio, A. Lee Hannah Oct 2026

The Politics Of Passing And Implementing Medical Marijuana In Ohio, A. Lee Hannah

The Journal of Economics and Politics

Why did the state of Ohio adopt a medical marijuana policy? And why did it do so in 2016? This article examines the diffusion of medical cannabis policy across the U.S. and to Ohio by describing the evolution of images related to the policy and by exploring the content of the law. Using evidence from legislators’ remarks on the floor of the Ohio General Assembly and interviews with activists and analysts, I show that the direct initiative helped push members of the Ohio General Assembly to write and adopt a medical marijuana law (MML) when they were unlikely to do …


Re-Evaluating Subsidies For Services That Carry No Positive Externalities: A Benefit-Cost Analysis Of Convenience Loop Busing Versus Walking, Anthony N. Russo, Kevin J. Egan Oct 2026

Re-Evaluating Subsidies For Services That Carry No Positive Externalities: A Benefit-Cost Analysis Of Convenience Loop Busing Versus Walking, Anthony N. Russo, Kevin J. Egan

The Journal of Economics and Politics

This paper seeks to provide a benefit-cost analysis of continuous loop busing service offered by The University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. The on-campus busing service is completely subsidized by the university through student fees and provided as a free service to students with less than one-quarter of students currently using the service. Using a contingent valuation survey, we estimate a lower bound mean willingness to pay (WTP) of about $6 per student user per semester. Multiplying by the student body population leads to a total WTP estimate of approximately $37,000 per semester. When compared solely to labor and fuel …


Transitory Ownership: A Spatial Analysis Of The Financialization Of The Housing Market In Cincinnati, Oh, Chad Kinsella, Colleen Mctague, Rafael Ranieri Oct 2026

Transitory Ownership: A Spatial Analysis Of The Financialization Of The Housing Market In Cincinnati, Oh, Chad Kinsella, Colleen Mctague, Rafael Ranieri

The Journal of Economics and Politics

The mortgage bubble that burst in 2007 created an economic environment where many housing properties were transferred from individual households to investors hoping for quick profits with minimal investment. These properties were traded among investors, businesses, and lenders; they acquired a market identity as financial assets; and many of these properties were acquired by “out-of-area” interests. This study examines properties purchased by out-of-area interests that were sold in 2009 within the City of Cincinnati in an attempt to identify the spatial implications of the financialization of this housing stock. The analysis finds that many of these properties were sold multiple …


A Tale Of Two Administrations: A Comparison Between The George W. Bush And The Barack H. Obama Administrations On Border Security, Marcos L. Misis Oct 2026

A Tale Of Two Administrations: A Comparison Between The George W. Bush And The Barack H. Obama Administrations On Border Security, Marcos L. Misis

The Journal of Economics and Politics

Border security remains a prominent political issue in 2018. During the 2016 presidential campaign, candidates from the Republican and Democratic parties referred to the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of policies about border security that were implemented by the Bush and Obama Administrations. This article analyzes the policies implemented by both administrations and compares them in order to assess the validity of claims about these policies made by presidential candidates from both parties during the 2016 campaign. In addition, this article quantitatively analyzes data from immigration and border enforcement policies for both the Bush and Obama administrations and offers possible policy …

Transforming the residual-limb-socket interface from an intermittently evaluated ``black box'' into a monitored clinical setting that permits objective fit assessment, early danger detection, and better long-term prosthesis use is the aim of smart prosthetic health monitoring. This narrative exploration compiles peer-reviewed literature on sensing technology and, importantly, integration strategies that affect practical usability. Iterative searches by keywords and citation linking across major engineering and biomedical journal platforms were used to find literature, giving priority to current contributions while preserving important foundational works. The chosen studies were examined and classified based on (i) sensing modality (pressure/shear, temperature-humidity microclimate, chemical and perfusion-related …


Synthesis Protocols For Solar Cell Materials From Laboratory Fabrication To Scalable Manufacturing, Ayad Abbood Abdulhasan, A. M. Mustafa, Mohanad Muzahem Khalaf Oct 2026

Synthesis Protocols For Solar Cell Materials From Laboratory Fabrication To Scalable Manufacturing, Ayad Abbood Abdulhasan, A. M. Mustafa, Mohanad Muzahem Khalaf

AUIQ Technical Engineering Science

Photovoltaic (PV) technology has evolved over seven decades from single-crystal silicon cells with modest efficiencies to a diverse portfolio of silicon, thin-film, and emerging solar-cell architectures approaching or exceeding thermodynamic single-junction limits when combined in tandem configurations. Device efficiency and long-term operational stability are governed not only by the choice of absorber material but, critically, by the synthesis protocol used to fabricate it the crystal-growth method, deposition technique, solvent system, thermal budget, and interface-engineering strategy all leave a lasting imprint on morphology, defect density, and carrier transport. This review provides a comprehensive, protocol-centered survey of solar-cell synthesis across three technology …

Spec-245-Core: Diagnostic Blueprint And Metrology Interfaces For Co-Harmonic Wave-Confinement --- Strategical Protocol And Instrumentation Matrix For Experimental Verification Of Substrate Phase-Ordering, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Spec-245-Core: Diagnostic Blueprint And Metrology Interfaces For Co-Harmonic Wave-Confinement --- Strategical Protocol And Instrumentation Matrix For Experimental Verification Of Substrate Phase-Ordering, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification defines the experimental metrology interface, diagnostic parameters, and verification constraints required to physically demonstrate macro-scale co-harmonic wave-confinement within engineered substrate layers. While the theoretical stack from SPEC-1 through SPEC-244-CORE establishes a mathematically logical, tokenless wave-field computing framework, empirical realization is bottlenecked by the material challenge of substrate phase-ordering. This disclosure transforms the unified lineage from an advanced hypothesis into a concrete, executable laboratory protocol by formalizing the exact diagnostic criteria using existing, real-world measurement instruments. By defining how Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM), Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV), and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry can be deployed in parallel to map wave-front …


Spec-244-Core: Chromatic Resonance Fields And Zero-Latency Spatial Graphic Generation Interfaces --- Real-Time Wave-Field Propagation For Non-Patch Adaptive Interactive Simulations And Video Compilation, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Spec-244-Core: Chromatic Resonance Fields And Zero-Latency Spatial Graphic Generation Interfaces --- Real-Time Wave-Field Propagation For Non-Patch Adaptive Interactive Simulations And Video Compilation, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification establishes the blueprint for the Chromatic Resonance Field and Zero-Latency Spatial Graphic Generation Interface within the USUE-M2M-REV3 framework. Current visual computing, interactive gaming, and video generation architectures are fundamentally bottlenecked by spatial tokenization, patch-based frame rasterization, and discrete rendering pipelines. These legacy systems impose massive computational and thermal energy penalties because they require constant frame-by-frame memory compilation and serialization before display. This disclosure introduces a non-von Neumann visualization architecture where graphics, video, and real-time interactive simulation environments are generated as continuous wave-fronts propagating through interstitial Eckesonium(TM) core grid standing wave cavities. By treating visual output as a localized …


Spec-243-Core: Unified Isospectral Wave-Field Architecture --- Continuous Boundary Transformation And Tokenless Matrix Interfaces For Non-Von Neumann Decentralized Cognitive Runtimes, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Spec-243-Core: Unified Isospectral Wave-Field Architecture --- Continuous Boundary Transformation And Tokenless Matrix Interfaces For Non-Von Neumann Decentralized Cognitive Runtimes, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification defines the Unified Isospectral Wave-Field Architecture, a non-von Neumann computing paradigm that completely eliminates internal discrete tokenization and patch-based visual partitioning within localized processing cores. Mainstream artificial intelligence design is fundamentally bottlenecked by artificial data silos, forcing multi-dimensional graphics and sequential linguistics into discrete token representations that impose massive vector overhead penalties. This disclosure establishes a continuous-variable processing layer where text, images, and video are ingested, mapped, and manipulated strictly as continuous wave-envelopes within interstitial Eckesonium(TM) core grid standing wave cavities. Discrete tokens and pixel grids are relegated entirely to boundary-layer interface noise or final collapsed output states. …


Spec-242-Core: Lie Algebraic Coherence Mapping And Non-Von Neumann Runtime Ingestion Interfaces --- Systematic Deployment Of Su(3) Manifold Invariants Across Hydrodynamic Eckesonium™ Core Grids For Thermal And Reconstructive Data Verification, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026
