Essays on Tax Increment Financing
This dissertation consists of three essays on Tax Increment Financing (TIF), focusing on TIF use in Illinois. TIF is a popular economic development tool that allows for the funding of municipal improvements from increases in property tax revenue brought about by the municipal improvements. The …

Tax Increment Financing in Illinois: Policy Implications for School Districts
… certain areas within its boundaries as a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district to promote redevelopment of the area. The area must meet certain characteristics of blight stated in the law. The result is that the assessed value of the property becomes frozen at the current level. As the …

Analysis of intra-increment pulping and papermaking properties of loblolly pine wood
Loblolly pine growth increments were divided into five fractions; two earlywood a transition and two latewood growth zones. Each growth zone was analyzed for lignin, extractives, and carbohydrate content. Each fraction was digested to four different time schedules using kraft pulping process. All …

The effect of tax increment financing development on housing affordability in Houston, Texas
Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which is called TIRZ in Texas, has become a popular, if controversial, economic development tool used by local jurisdictions across the country. TIF has been used for a variety of purposes and its efficacy has not been widely studied. The few studies on TIF’s …

Predicting height to live crown increment for thinned and unthinned loblolly pine plantations
Several nonlinear, individual tree crown height increment equations were tested for their ability to predict annual crown height increment in loblolly pine plantations. The selected model contained tree height (HT), tree crown ratio (CR) raised to the one-half power, age (A), and a competition …

Merging walkability into tax increment financing: Champaign-IL downtown fringe TIF district case demonstration
The use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) in the United States achieved enough time to dismiss the policy of the label “new” or “innovative”, but despite the variety of studies, TIF’s extended possibilities still welcome exploration. With that in mind, urban planning practitioners can push for …

Diameter/basal area increment equations for loblolly pine trees in cutover, site-prepared plantations
… of this study was to develop diameter/basal area increment equations for loblolly pine trees in thinned and unthinned plantations on cutover, site-prepared areas. Results indicated that one set of coefficients was sufficient to estimate individual tree growth (for the three year period following …

Determination of Chromatic and Luminance Channels in the Zebrafish Visual System Using an Increment Threshold Technique
… and luminance channels was determined. An increment threshold procedure was used to elicit electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave responses to monochromatic light under two different intensities of white background adaptation. From the ERG b-wave responses, a spectral sensitivity function was …

Diameter and height increment and mortality functions for loblolly pine trees in thinned and unthinned plantations
… of dominant and co-dominant trees and a diameter increment model were developed to incorporate the thinning response variable. New fits of height increment and mortality functions to the available data were also completed. Separate mortality functions were fit to data from unthinned and thinned …

The incidence and severity of Heterobasidion annosus (Fr.) Bref. in loblolly pine plantations and the effect on radial increment growth
… of the root system (healthy). The average annual increment for each of the last five years was tested, and all five tests were significantly different in growth at the 0.01 level. The difference in growth between healthy and diseased trees over the five year period was 19% or approximately 4% per …

Methods for modeling whole stem diameter growth and taper
… inside-bark diameter or cross-sectional area increment. Whole stem increment models were derived from several stem profile models and Presseler's hypothesis on the vertical distribution of cross-sectional area growth. Stem profile models evaluated for constructing compatible increment models …

Three-Dimensional Morphology of Polymer Nanocomposites Characterized by Transmission Electron Tomography
… of materials at nanometer scale. Tilting range, increment and reconstruction algorithms are three of the main factors affecting the quality of tomograms. An anisotropic degradation can be observed with restricted tilting range and increment. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate …

Growth loss of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), white pine (P. strobus L.) and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) proximal to a periodic source of air pollution
… growth of forest trees was investigated. Radial increment growth studies were conducted to determine if correlations existed between emission levels of a source (predicted by production levels) and radial increment growth of forest trees. Three stands of loblolly pine, two of white pine, and one …

A Study of Imaging Techniques of 3-Dimennsional CT Diagnosis for Rib Fractures
… techniques including slice thickness and increment intervals for reconstructing 3D CT images in the diagnosis of rib fractures. From the raw CT data of 30 patients who were admitted to our emergency department due to blunt chest trauma and performed thoracic multidetector CT, 3 sets of …

Growth Models and Mortality Functions for Unthinned and Thinned Loblolly Pine Plantations
… to various approaches to reach this goal. Height increment and mortality models were found to need no additional refinement and were re-fit using all available data. Diameter increment and crown ratio model forms could not account for thinning effects in their present form and thinning response …
