A Framework to Simplify the Choice of Alternative Analysis and Selection Methods
… engineering managers to investigate and choose alternative analysis and selection methods based upon their problem and its context. It began as an investigation into the alternative analysis and selection methods used in military planning. The existing military methods were inconsistent, …

Science as practice: a methodological critique and case study
… to a specific case, and attempt to develop an alternative conception by contrast. The thesis is structured as follows. I begin by describing Collins’ and Woolgar’s methodologies for the analysis of scientific knowledge development in some detail in Chapter One. In Chapter Two, I examine the …

Rapid screening approach for cavity detection using surface-based seismic measurements
… data acquisition technology are explored. An alternative analysis of the data based on impulse response is investigated. The field experiments were conducted at sites with known natural caves, buried barrels, and earth fissures. Two historic data sets were used. The numerical experiment was …

Neg-raising : polarity and presupposition
… and defend it against syntactic and pragmatic alternatives. The primary source of support for my position on Neg-Raising comes from the natural way in which the approach explains a variety of facts about NPI-licensing in environments containing Neg-Raising predicates. In Chapter 2, a principled …

Evaluation of alternative pretreatment methods for use in direct filtration water treatment
… of direct filtration a viable treatment alternative. Analysis of data obtained indicated the use of polyelectrolyte as a primary coagulant or coagulant aid produced a pinpoint floc which is essential to successful utilization of direct filtration and that the floc formed settled more …

South Africa and political change : an analysis of selected studies of South African politics
… process. In the course of the examination, an alternative analysis of the issues will be presented and defended. A synopsis of the analysis will be given in Part III. This will be used as a means for testing the analyses of the selected studies, before selecting what is valid in all of them in …

First- and Second-Order Properties of Spatiotemporal Point Patterns in the Space-Time and Frequency Domains
… the spatial dependencies. This marginal spatial analysis may lead to misleading results if time is an important factor in the process. In this dissertation we extend the current analysis of spatial point patterns to include a temporal dimension. First- and second-order intensity measures for …

Parent-Child Relations, Sleep, and Externalizing Problems in Clinical Youth
… Replication in larger samples and using alternative analysis methods (e.g., mediation) is needed. Clinically, sleep problems and poor parent-child relationships should continue to be targeted to optimize mental health treatment for youth.</p> <p><em>Keywords</em>: clinical child …

Strategic outsourcing model : decision support for determining supply chain structure
… The next logical question is: "How to conduct an analysis for outsourcing decision making." Current methodologies coalesce cost alternative analysis with a strategic "gut feel" from management to make decisions that will last multiple cycles into the future. Cost analysis is basic. However, …

The Effect of Lead Oxide Powder on Battery Paste Composition
… measurement errors were the main problem. An alternative analysis technique, referred to as the acetic acid method, was introduced to solve the problem.<br/><br/>Once the reason for the lack of correlation between lead oxide quality and positive paste composition had been determined, the …

Analysis of self-employment in prairie Canada from 1987-2006
… entrepreneurship and economic development analysis by studying a particular subset of the labour force in Prairie Canada, self-employed individuals, not employed in agriculture, with employees (SEWE) to test the hypothesis that economies with a higher proportion of entrepreneurs will grow …

Musical Ambiguity in Analysis and Composition: Problems of Pattern, Value, Form, and Structure
… of Schenker, Meyer, and Narmour and offers an alternative analysis of Haydn's Sonata no. 39 which features non-hierarchical representation of details within, and a network model of relationships across, the first nine phrases. Chapter Five defines two forms of structural ambiguity, diachronic …

Playing the Bad Guy: How Organizations Design, Develop, and Measure Red Teams
The study is a descriptive analysis using a case-study methodology that identifies the critical elements (methods, tools, processes, personnel, and practices) of adversary analysis identified as a red team and red-teaming. A red team is the adversary element of the analytic method of red-teaming. …

Anti-Imperialism and the Critique of Managerialism in Post- War American Thought, 1939–1995
… neoliberalism and fracture. I offer an alternative analysis that emphasises a politics of limits which looked to overcome managerialism by reducing the scale of politics: rejecting globalisation, delegation, and public debt. This rejection of modernity offers a road back to community and …

Seismic Response of Structures on Shallow Foundations over Soft Clay Reinforced by Soil-Cement Grids
… and numerical simulations were used to develop alternative analysis methods for predicting the demands imposed on the soil-cement grids by the inertial loads from the overlying structures and the kinematic loading from the soil profile's dynamic response.

Development of an Automated Method for Identification of Wet and Dry Channel Segments Using LiDAR Data and Fuzzy Logic Cluster Analysis
… become prominent in recent years. In many cases, alternative analysis methodologies conducted using airborne LiDAR data are possible because the raw data collected during a survey can include information other than the classically used elevation and coordinate points, the X, Y, and Z of the plane. …
