Gas Peak Design Day Analysis, Kerry Elaine Broehl

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The changing natural gas industry has increased the importance for utility companies to develop an accurate peak day forecast. The model developed for this midwest utility estimates a firm natural gas sendout econometrically, using the Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis. The peak is primarily weather driven, thus the model made use of wind-chill variables from the current day, the previous day, and the current day squared. Also included is a disposable income variable to reflect the level of economic activity.

The peak day forecast depends on using extreme weather conditions for the design day parameters. The parameters used represented the …

International Exporting Business Experience Through The Greene County Pilot Export Assistance Program, Jian Wang

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The Greene County Pilot Export Assistance Project, an academic-corporate-government partnership program, is a dynamic program to assist small and medium-sized companies realizing export potentiality and capturing a share of international markets.

A Quarterly General Fund Revenue Forecasting Model For Clark County, George A. Sodders

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The Clark County econometric general fund revenue forecasting model developed establishes a connection between conditions in the local and national economy. The model was designed to hold economic rationale and econometric modeling procedure. In the model, variation in the predictor variables account for 70% of the variation in the general fund revenue collection.

Econometric models reflect the conditions present in the local, regional, and national economy at the time of development. Since conditions in the economy are subject to change, the relationship of the predictor variable to general fund revenue collections may change in the future.

The Political Economy Of External Debt: A Case Study Of Latin America, Elisabeth Ann Johnson

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

I believe that high external debt service requirements act as a restraint on economic growth and aggravate macroeconomic and microeconomic imbalances within an economy. Large future repayments act as a tax on investment, both foreign and domestic, encourage capital flight, and decrease savings. Inflation increases due to currency devaluations that result from the promotion of export goods and services in international markets to repay the debt and uncertainty in the domestic financial markets. Austerity measures, designed to correct fiscal problems, decrease public expenditures and private consumption. The final result is a lack of economic growth and a decline in the …

The Effect Of Working On Campus On First Year Retention Rates And First Year Grade Point Averages Of Fall 1992 Direct From High School Freshmen At Wright State University, Lee Mortimer

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The nation's colleges and universities are aware of the growing dropout problem. Research to date has focused on the importance of social integration of students as well as the type of students who initially enroll as two major components of student success.

This study attempted to analyze models that combined both academic preparation and social integration (in this case student employment on campus), to study Fall Quarter 1992 direct from high school full time degree freshmen.

The results were very consistent with the relevant literature in that first year retention as well as first year grade point averages were linked …

Semantics-Based Information Brokering: A Step Towards Realizing The Infocosm, Vipul Kashyap, Amit P. Sheth

Kno.e.sis Publications

The rapid advances in computer and communication technologies, and their merger, is leading to a global information market place. It will consist of federations of very large number of information systems that will cooperate to varying extents to support the users' information needs. We propose an architecture which may facilitate meeting these needs. It consists of three main components: information providers, information brokers and information consumers. We also propose an approach to information brokering. We discuss two of it's tasks: information resource discovery, which identities relevant information sources for a given query, and query processing, which involves the generation of …

Specifying And Enforcing Intertask Dependencies, Paul Attie, Munindar Singh, Amit P. Sheth, Marek Rusinkiewicz

Kno.e.sis Publications

Extensions of the traditional atomic transaction model are needed to support the development of multi-system applications or workflows that access heterogeneous databases and legacy application systems. Most extended transaction models use conditions involving events or dependencies between transactions. Intertask dependencies can serve as a uniform framework for defining extended transaction models. In this paper we introduce event attributes needed to determine whether a dependency is enforceable and to properly schedule events in extended transaction models. Using these attributes and a formalization of a dependency into the temporal logic CTL, we can automatically synthesize an automaton that captures the computations that …
