Millennial Attitudes Towards Financial Advisors and Emerging Investment Technologies
… considering investing their wealth. Through use of a factor analysis and k-means cluster segmentation, five distinct clusters of potential investors emerged, each unique in their activity (or lack thereof) towards their portfolios, as well as their desired investment horizon. These clusters …

Pedagogical interactions and opportunities for literacy engagement in two South African Grade R classes
This study, embedded in a sociology of education framework, uses Bernstein’s concept of framing to compare and contrast two Grade R classes in the Western Cape, South Africa. It seeks to answer the following question: What are the differences, if any, between pedagogic practices in two Grade R …

Atom transfer radical polymerisation - towards the synthesis of a fully-functional photorefractive polymer
Atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) of styrene in xylene solution initiated with 1-phenylethyl bromide and mediated by CuBr/N-propyl-2- pyridinemethanimine catalyst complex was studied. The polymerisation was ill-controlled, yielding polymers with broad molecular weight distributions and …

First Ladies of Film: The Not so Silent Women of Early American Cinema
<p>During the first quarter of the twentieth century, particularly between the years 1906 and 1926, the American film industry offered women opportunities that existed in no other workplace. This was the golden era of female filmmaking, when many women had a high degree of control behind the camera …

The relationship between diabetic control and self-concept
… study examined the relationship between diabetic control and self-concept in insulin dependent diabetic adults. Fifty subjects completed the Demographic Data Profile, Criteria for Degree of Control of Diabetes, and the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale. The Spearman's rho correlation was used to …

A hybrid fault injection environment for measuring system dependability
… dependability, wherein faults are injected via software and the impact is measured by both software and hardware. The hybrid nature of the environment provides advantages in that it introduces minimal perturbation and provides a high degree of control over the location of faults to be injected. …

Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction by Self-Assembled Monolayers of Metal Porphyrins
… main issue hindering the successful utilization of CO2 electroreduction processes in industry is the lack of selective, durable, and efficient catalysts. We design a new heterogenous molecular architecture for CO2 electrocatalysts by attaching alkyne-terminated metal (Fe, Co) porphyrins via click …

Physics of ultracold spin mixtures in low and stable magnetic field environment
A high degree of control over the magnetic field is required in many ultracold atom experiments. On the one hand, magnetic field stability sets the fundamental limit for observing phenomena in coherently coupled superfluid mixtures. In our laboratory, a magnetic shield ensures field stability at …

Design outsourcing in the high-tech industry and its impact on supply chain strategies
The practice of outsourcing product design to a service provider is prevalent in fast-moving high-tech electronics. Product design affects all subsequent activities such as procurement, manufacturing, logistics and after-sales services. Thus, companies do design for supply chain (DFSC), which is …

Controlling light emission with shaped electron wavefunctions
The extent to which can one change the nature of spontaneous emission from a free electron by shaping the its wavefunction has been a long-standing question. In this work, we use both a semi-classical formalism and a QED formalism to show that Bremsstrahlung radiation can be tailored by altering …

Using MTWS for human-in-the-loop C2 organizational experiments
The Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) research project is examining issues in joint command and control, focusing on organizational adaptation. The project includes a series of "human-in-the-loop" experiments at the Naval Postgraduate School. The experiments are in three tiers, …

Optische Kontrolle der Lasertätigkeit im Röntgenbereich
… However, they lack temporal coherence and controllability of their pulses' temporal and spatial properties, which is essential for many applications. We investigate the possibility to control and shape x-ray laser pulses with optical light. An optical laser pulse is used to control the …

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of release kinetics of novel LFA-1 and TLR-4 inhibitor prodrugs for localized immunomodulation.
Each year, thousands of organ transplant recipients experience graft rejection due to acute immune responses of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Traditionally, systemic immunosuppression has been used to mitigate these immune responses against the graft, however this can lead to systemic …

The design of a real time, fault-tolerant, multiprocessor system.
… computers should be reliable. The majority of methods used to achieve fault tolerance in such systems employ a substantial duplication of hardware. This thesis suggests an alternative approach by placing a greater emphasis on firmware. It is shown that a greater degree of control can be …

Effect of Temperature, Moisture, and Soil Texture on Dimethyl 2,3,5,6 Tetrachloroterephthalic Acid Degradation (Crabgrass)
The effect of soil temperature (ST), soil moisture (SM) and soil texture (STX) on DCPA (Dimethyl 2,3,5,6 tetrachloroterephthalic Acid) degradation was measured in the laboratory. Treatments consisted of six soil temperatures with a combination of three soil moisture levels. Soil temperature …

Modeling and simulation of the dissolution of a physical system with application to head-end operations in aqueous reprocessing
An electrochemically-based model of crystal dissolution is eveloped and implemented in a C++- and MPI-based parallel program in which (electro-)chemical reactions are formulated as Monte Carlo rules. The electrochemical model used assumes bonding in the solid to be a function of first nearest …

In defence of Nunat (the land): Inuit political development as a response to resource conflict
… witnessed a significant increase in the ability of Inuit groups to defend local interests against the intrusions of their respective nation-state and, as a result, assume a greater degree of control over their own societies. Most of this increase can be attributed to a series of similar political …

TinkRBooks : tinkerable story elements for emergent literacy
Printed words are an abstract representation of concepts. Today parents teach children how to read by demonstrating how text is related to imagery. I present textual tinkerability, an idea for demonstrating reading by using multisensory gestures to expose and alter the text-graphic relationship …
