Cost analysis and profitability of the cable train : a mobile platform for manufacturing underground cable systems
… required. Luke A. Gray, Professor Alexander H. Slocum, et al. have proposed a method of transporting raw materials along existing railroad lines and continuously manufacturing and laying HVDC cables in trenches made along the railroad's right-of-way.We hypothesize that it is possible to lay HVDC …

On-Farm Apprenticeships: Labor Identities and Sociocultural Reproduction within Alternative Agrifood Movements
… cultural norms (Allen, 2004; Guthman, 2008a; Slocum, 2007), for romanticized agrarian ideology (Carlisle, 2013), and for mechanisms reproductive of neoliberalism, which buttresses the dominant agrifood system (Guthman, 2008b). These AAM discourse elements are expressed in on-farm …

The Bing sphere characterization and applications of brick partitioning
… continua, as is evidenced by recent work of Slocum and Edwards. Edwards shows that, while the suspension of a particular manifold is a Peano continuum, it is not a manifold. The use of brick partitionings provides a very promising method of analyzing Peano spaces.</p>

An exploration of perceptions of an offender's true sorriness in an interpersonal context: An offended intimate partner's perspective
A study by Allan, Allan, Kaminer, and Stein (2006) revealed that forgiveness was enhanced by apology and significantly enhanced by true sorriness. Allan et al. (2006) further observed that little is known about what true sorriness is, or about what factors influence perceptions of true sorriness. …

The future of local television news: Is there a possible strategic planning approach?
This study compared the characteristic of strategic planning as used in the corporate world with the planning process used in a sample of television news departments. The purpose was to determine if commonalities exist; in what circumstances, and whether techniques and approaches used for many …

Photolysis of (Halomethyl)naphthalenes: An Investigation of the Heterolysis and Homolysis of Carbon-Halogen Bonds in (Arylmethyl)halides
The photolysis of (halomethyl)naphthalenes in methanol and cyclohexane was examined by means of product and quantum yield studies, sensitization and quenching experiments, and the technique of transient absorption spectroscopy. Evidence is presented for three modes of heterolytic bond cleavage. The …

Exploring the meaning of being a cooperating teacher
Within current concerns for improvement in teacher education programs is the inadequacy of research concerned with questions of meaning, such as what it means to be a cooperating teacher. Interpretive research investigates our way of experiencing the world and addresses questions of being. A …

Performance analysis of cache oblivious Algorithms in the Fresh Breeze memory model
The Fresh Breeze program execution model was designed for easy, reliable and massively scalable parallel performance. The model achieves these goals by combining a radical memory model with efficient fine-grain parallelsim and managing both in hardware. This presents a unique opportunity for …
