Identifying enterprise leverage points in Defense Acquisition Program performance
Large, complex systems development programs in the Department of Defense are finding it more difficult to deliver desired capabilities to the end user on time and on budget than ever before. Evidence exists that almost all developmental programs on record are over cost and schedule, costing the …

Voluntary Environmental Programs: An Examination of Program Performance and the Role of Institutional Design
… studies exist on whether Voluntary Environmental Programs (VEPs) improve firms’ environmental performance. Furthermore, the literature on VEPs theorizes that specific features contribute to program performance. This study examines the ability of Voluntary Environmental Programs to reduce emissions …

The first step in tech-prep program evaluation: the identification of program performance indicators
… specifically applies to determining Tech-Prep program quality, effectiveness, and goal attainment as determined by the directors/coordinators of the programs. This research sought to determine if program performance indicators exist that Tech-Prep directors/coordinators deem necessary to …

CPSS : a flexible and efficient simulator for wormhole-routed multicomputers
… purpose of the CPSS is to provide a parallel programming environment which allows users to study impacts of system and software factors on program performance and to locate performance bottlenecks in parallel programs. The major challenge in the design of the CPSS is to make a good tradeoff …

An Examination of the Social Factors Determining Successful Training Performance of Participants in Ex-Offender Manpower Programs: A Model for Predicting School Behavior
… and cognitive factors in predicting the training performance of participants in ex-offender manpower training programs. A model for predicting social behavior developed by Triandis (1971, 1977) provided the theoretical framework for the study. Operationalization of the components in Triandis' …

Longitudinal Trends in Academic Success: The Impact of IELTS and EAP Program Outcomes on International Student Performance
… test scores, English for academic purpose (EAP) program outcomes, and academic achievement in order to make fair admission decisions for students. The current study takes a longitudinal approach to examine this relationship. Previous studies have typically taken a cross-sectional approach, …

UNTAPPED RESOURCES: HOW UNDERDEVELOPED GENDER EMPOWERMENT CONSTRAINS THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL IN BANGLADESH
… ambivalent results implying that microfinance programs are not maximizing their potential impact. While gender empowerment may be a desirable end to development, it is less often used as a means to achieve development goals. This paper tests the hypothesis that gender empowerment improves …

The Effect of Weight Training on the Swimming Performance of Female Intercollegiate Competitive Swimmers
… the effects of weight training on the swimming performance of female intercollegiate competitive swimmers. Twelve members of the S.U.N.Y. College at Brockport women's swim team served as subjects. Six subjects participated in a ten week weight training program as well as in the daily two hour …

ParaView: Performance debugging through visualization of shared data
Performance debugging is the process of isolating and correcting performance problems in an otherwise correct parallel program. Problems not immediately visible to the parallel programmer often lead to poor application performance. This thesis describes the design, implementation, and use of …

Mutex Locking versus Hardware Transactional Memory: An Experimental Evaluation
… historically been the case that CPUs have run programs ever faster without significant intervention on the behalf of the programmer. However, this "free lunch" has largely ended due to the end of exponentially increasing core frequency and the current slow increase in instruction-level …

The Impact of Reliability in Conceptual Design - An Integrated Trade-off Analysis
… of reliability and its impact on acquisition program performance, cost, and schedule motivate the need for improved system reliability models in the early design stages. Reliability is often a stand-alone requirement and not fully included in performance and life cycle cost models. This …

Automating runtime optimizations for parallel object-oriented programming
… approaches for addressing the challenges of high performance and enhanced programmability in parallel programs: automated optimizations and object-orientation. We have developed the parallel object-oriented language Charm++ (an extension of C++), which enables the benefits of object-orientation to …

Why do poor people demand accountability from some participatory programs and not others?
… to demand accountability, over government programs improves program performance. Yet little is known about the conditions that enable citizens/beneficiaries to demand accountability. This dissertation approaches this void in the literature by comparing two Community Driven Development (CDD) …

Globally Synchronized Frames for guaranteed Quality-of-Service in shared memory systems
… on multicore platforms results in greater performance variability of individual threads than traditionally seen with time-multiplexed threads on single-core platforms. This performance variability makes it hard to provide performance guarantees, degrades parallel program performance, and …

Executables from Program Slices for Java Programs
Program slicing is a popular program decomposition and analysis technique that extracts only those program statements that are relevant to particular points of interest. Executable slices are program slices that are independently executable and that correctly compute the values in the slicing …

I use interviews and performance data to understand two questions: (1) To what extent did the city, as a policy-maker and a grant manager, help organizations meet their benchmarks and change the hiring behavior of employers? (2) What are the prerequisite organizational …
