Abstract:

This study involved a qualitative comparative analysis of government laboratory technology transfer, examining both the process and impact of successful cases before and after passage of technology transfer legislation. The legislation, passed in the mid- and late-1980s, was intended to encourage cooperative research for commercialization purposes. The study examined a variety of factors related to government laboratory technology transfer, including the researchers' roles, mechanisms used, partners, and economic impact. Certain aspects of the researchers' roles became more positive tow

Abstract:

Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) regulations are designed to impede the unintentional movement of pests. In an attempt to reduce concerns about the use of SPS regulations as hidden barriers to trade, the World Trade Organization (WTO} and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA} mandate their members to enact SPS regulations based exclusively on biological scientific merit, under an open regulatory process. However, there are some concerns among American officials about the possibility that Mexico may have enacted stricter-than-necessary SPS regulations to compensate for tariff reductio

Full text

Abstract:

The legitimation of science as the most authoritative form of human knowledge is the result of complex literary and socio-political processes. In the course of the eighteenth century, lay people came to see science as an authority beyond criticism, whose norms are value-neutral, self-evident and absolute. The cultural status that science acquired continued for centuries and, even though it has been challenged in our times, it still is one of the main providers of meaning for social life. It is true that contemporary scholarship has taken important steps to deconstruct such views by pointing ou

Abstract:

Each and every material has certain inherent characteristics. When successfully evaluated for these characteristics a material’s true spirit becomes clear. Only when a material is completely understood can it be used properly. It is through the sensitive use of materials that architecture becomes rich. When considering materials, several issues come to bear. What "work" do they do? How do the materials interact most harmoniously? How do the materials touch? Do they need an intermediate material? How do they begin? End? To what level are their details taken? A whole world of consideration bec

Degradability in the rumen of several protein sources was determined by suspending from 12 to 13 g of feedstuff in dacron bags into the rumen for 0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h. Rumen cannulated lactating Holstein cows consuming a diet of corn silage, alfalfa, soybean, and high moisture corn were used. Degradability of protein varied from 18.6% for corn gluten meal to 72.3% for soybean meal. Gel electrophoresis was used to monitor rates of degradation in the rumen of fractions of corn gluten (CGM), CORN, cottonseed (CSM), peanut (PM), and soybean meal (SBM) protein fractions.

Abstract:

The design and development of a novel system for removing odorous gases from toilets is presented. A review of the numerous existing patents for mechanical systems designed to deodorize commodes, none of which is fully satisfactory, shows that they all employ suction using one of two basic configurations: single point suction or perimetral suction, to remove the obnoxious fumes. The present design uses the single suction approach with two new features added: the use of an activated charcoal filter to deodorize the gases removed from the toilet, and the recirculation of part of the deodoriz

In December of 1987 tests were conducted in the Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel on a full-scale model of a fiber optic mortar projectile. The desired model configurations were sting-mounted on the Stability Tunnel STO-1 strain gauge balance. The sting was mounted on a streamlined vertical pylon which provided remote rotation in both pitch and yaw while maintaining the center of the balance along the tunnel centerline. The model inputs included the six-component force and moment data in body coordinates and the pressure data from the five pressure taps located within the model. The tunnel i

Abstract:

Depreciative behavior is a significant problem facing natural resource managers. The theft of petrified wood from Petrified Forest National Park is one type of depreciative behavior. Despite numerous anti-theft interventions, approximately 12 tons of wood disappear from the park each year. The focus of this study was to design, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to reduce the theft of petrified wood. In addition to gaining a quantitative measure of intervention effectiveness, qualitative interviews were conducted to provide some contextual understanding of wood theft an

The overall goal of this research project was to determine optimal strategies for applying genomic mapping, quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection and marker-assisted selection (MAS) to genetic improvement of aquaculture species. Genes affecting aquaculture performance, or quantitative trait loci (QTLs}, can be mapped in relation to naturally-occuring genetic markers. Knowledge of linkages between marker and QTL alleles can be used for marker-assisted selection (MAS), potentially increasing the rate of genetic progress above that for selective breeding alone.

An improvement in accuracy or time of evaluation due to utilization of marker assisted selection (MAS) increases genetic progress.

Public administration literature lacks richness and context regarding the moral history of the founding of the field in the early 1900s.

In correcting the historical record, this dissertation shows that the "soul" of public administration stemmed from the field's deep roots in the social gospel movement of the
