Multiple Comparisons With The Best, With Economic Applications, William C. Horrace, Peter Schmidt

Economics - All Scholarship

In this paper we discuss a statistical method called multiple comparisons with the best, or MCB. Suppose that we have N populations, and population i has parameter value θ_i. Let $\theta _{(N)}={\rm max}_{i=1,\ldots ,N}\theta _{i}$\nopagenumbers\end, the parameter value for the ‘best’ population. Then MCB constructs joint confidence intervals for the differences $[\theta _{(N)}-\theta _{1},\theta _{(N)}-\theta _{2},\ldots ,\theta _{(N)}-\theta _{N}]$\nopagenumbers\end. It is not assumed that it is known which population is best, and part of the problem is to say whether any population is so identified, at the given confidence level. This paper is meant to introduce MCB …

What Is Free Trade? The Real Issue Lurking Behind The Trade And Environment Debate, David M. Driesen

College of Law - Faculty Scholarship

This article argues that a fundamental question, "What is free trade?," lurks behind the ongoing debate about the relationship between international trade law and competing legal regimes. It also lurks behind much of the confusion in the Supreme Court's dormant commerce clause jurisprudence under the United States constitution, sometimes mentioned as a model for international trade law. Yet, the literature has remarkably little to say about free trade's definition, although it contains volumes about the reasons for free trade.

This article explores three possible concepts of free trade, trade free from discrimination against foreign companies, trade free from coercion, and …

Targets For Transformation: A Strategic Plan For The Syracuse University Library, 2000-2005, Roberta B. Gwilt, Martha J. Hanson, Kelley Lasher, Pamela Whiteley Mclaughlin, Lisa Moeckel, Suzanne Preate

Libraries' and Librarians' Publications

A strategic plan is a tool that enables an organization to revitalize itself and focus on a set of mission-critical goals over a period of time. A well-crafted plan intentionally implemented and consistently monitored promotes success in strategic areas and provides a foundation for transforming services, technology, collections, and infrastructure to meet the constantly evolving needs and demands of teaching, research, and scholarly communication. A strategic plan:

• articulates commonly held values and a shared sense of purpose and mission
• proposes goals and assesses progress to those goals
• informs decision-making
• enables action within a larger context that is known and understood …

Reproductive Experience And Stress Responsiveness, Jennifer Elizabeth Wartella

Master's Theses

Hormonal fluctuations and maternal behavior associated with pregnancy and postpartum care of pups induce many changes in the female rat. Circulating hormonal surges during pregnancy modify the female brain in preparation for motherhood. Past studies identify the medial preoptic area, the hypothalamus and the basal forebrain as structures dense in hormonal receptors involved in controlling reproductive behavior. The hippocampus and amygdala possess many hormonal receptors. Neurons exposed to pregnancy hormones develop new synapses and increased spine density, changes reflected in behavioral preparations, such as nest building and increased foraging, for the new pups. Following the experience of birth, pup stimulation …

Attention, Memory, And Self-Efficacy Differences Between Adhd And Aging Individuals, Douglas Lee Welsh

Master's Theses

Attention and memory abilities decline with age. Although a similar pattern of attentional and memory decrement has been observed in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), these two populations have never been directly compared. The present study examined performance on attention, self-efficacy (SE), and memory tasks by ADHD young adults and non-ADHD younger and older adults. ADHD adults displayed lower attentional SE than both non-ADHD younger and older adults, but performed comparably to older adults on an attention task on which non-ADHD younger adults outperformed both groups. ADHD adults and older adults had lower memory SE than non-AD HD …

Johann Friedrich Herbart, David E. Leary

Psychology Faculty Publications

German philosopher, psychologist, and educator. Herbart was among the first, early in the nineteenth century, to propose a mathematical psychology. Coming after Immanuel Kant's claim (in his Metaphysische Angangsgriinde der Naturwissenschaft [Metaphysical Foundation of Natural Science], Riga, 1786) that there could be no such discipline, this was a bold proposal. which kept alive the eighteenth-century quest for a science of psychology. Even though Herbart himself denied the possibility of an experimental psychology, and despite the fact that his own psychology (as a branch of applied metaphysics) was largely conjectural, his example inspired subsequent scholars to work toward a quantitative, experimental …

Why Elephants Gallop: Assessing And Predicting Organizational Performance In Federal Agencies, Gene A. Brewer, Sally Coleman Selden

Public Administration - All Scholarship

Hal G. Rainey and Paula Steinbauer (1999) recently proposed a theory of effective government organizations. Several other theories exist in whole or in part, but empirical testing is rare. In this article we cut to the chase and examine several key elements of these theories empirically. First, we explore the theoretical dimensions of organizational performance and derive a taxonomy to help measure the construct. Second, we draw from the literature and develop a model predicting organizational performance. Third, we operationalize and test the model with data from the 1996 Merit Principles Survey, U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. In the end, …

Globalization has seen the removal of borders and increased global flows of capital and goods and services, changing the employment landscape, pressuring revenues and social-welfare spending of modern welfare states. This collection of essays brings together perspectives from different disciplines to discuss the role globalization has had on social policies of the modern welfare state and the changing relationship between social policy, social work and the economy, describes its consequences and presents innovative approaches for action.

"The Boy's Mother" Nineteenth-Century Drug Dependence In The Life Of Kate M. Cleary, Susanne George Bloomfield

Great Plains Quarterly

Beginning at age fourteen, Kate McPhelim Cleary published voluminously in turn-of-the century American periodicals and newspapers. The daughter of Irish immigrants, she was born in New Brunswick, Canada, in 1863. Her father died when she was young, and her mother moved the family back to Ireland for a short time before immigrating to Philadelphia. In 1880 the McPhelim family-Kate, her mother Margaret, and her two brothers-relocated to Chicago where they supported themselves by writing. There, Kate McPhelim met and married Michael Cleary. In 1884 the newlyweds, along with Kate's mother, moved to recently established Hubbell, Nebraska, where they lived for …

Review Of To Show Heart: Native American Self-Determination And Federal Indian Policy, 1960-1975 By George Pierre Castile, Larry Burt

Great Plains Quarterly

Since the 1970s self-determination has been the dominant theme of federal Indian policy. The general concept goes back to President Woodrow Wilson's proposed principles to govern the post-World War I world. In Indian affairs it has come to mean a government-to government relationship managed largely by the federal government's contracting with tribal governments to carry out many administrative functions.

This important new work traces the development of self-determination. It has something of an "insider" perspective because George Pierre Castile, an anthropologist, served in the Indian division of President Lyndon Johnson's Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). Castile finds the first stirrings …

Review Of Gilbert Hitchcock Of Nebraska: Wilson's Floor Leader In The Fight For The Versailles Treaty By Thomas W. Ryley, Harl A. Dalstrom

Great Plains Quarterly

As acting Senate minority leader in 1919- 1920, Gilbert M. Hitchcock worked for ratification of the Versailles Treaty, but the famous battle between President Woodrow Wilson and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge left him in the shadows. Thomas Ryley has attempted to explain Hitchcock's role in the Versailles drama.

Most of the first half of this book treats Hitchcock's life prior to 1919. Son of a Republican US Senator, Democrat Gilbert Hitchcock founded the Omaha World-Herald and served three terms in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate. As a Senator, Hitchcock was sometimes at odds with the Wilson …

Review Of Mangas Coloradas: Chief Of The Chiricahua Apaches By Edwin R. Sweeney, H. Henrietta Stockel

Great Plains Quarterly

Inch by inch Sweeney drags readers through the military life and times of one of the Chiricahua Apaches' most noted leaders Mangas Coloradas. With certain exceptions noted below, the author describes what quite possibly was every major event in this famous chief's life from cradle to grave. Here briefly are stories of his youth, the Native customs applied to children, the activities and the lessons all Chiricahua children learn in growing up.

Review Of The New Western History: The Territory Ahead Edited By Forrest O. Robinson, Cheryll Glotfelty

Great Plains Quarterly

"The New Western History is now old enough to have a history," observes Jerome Frisk, lead essayist of The New Western History: The Territory Ahead. Apparently it is also influential enough to interest scholars outside the discipline of history. The seven contributors to this volume, representing literary studies, American studies, and natural resource management, evaluate the core texts of the New Western History's "Gang of Four"; William Cronon, Patricia Limerick, Richard White, and Donald Worster. These historians are known for their objections to the work of Frederick Jackson Turner, whose "frontier thesis," they argue, told a one-sided story of …

Review Of The New Encyclopedia Of The American West Edited By Howard R. Lamar, David J. Wishart

Great Plains Quarterly

The Reader's Encyclopedia of the American West, edited by Yale historian Howard Lamar and published by Thomas Y. Crowell Company in 1977, was a pretty good book, bringing to the American public the first comprehensive single-volume treatment of the history of the West. But that reference work has now been superseded-and dwarfed-by this new rendition, also edited by Lamar. More than 1250 pages of three-column text, 1.5 million words in all, are given over to 2400 alphabetically ordered entries written by more than three hundred scholars. Long thematic entries, on the fur trade or railroads, for example, are interspersed …

Review Of Frontier Soldier: An Enlisted Man's Journal Of The Sioux And Nez Perce Campaigns, 1877 By Private William F. Zimmer, Wayne R. Kime

Great Plains Quarterly

The two journals of Private Zimmer presented here add substantially to the documentary record of Army operations on the Northern Plains during the final months of the Sioux War and its immediate aftermath. Zimmer's unit, Company F, Second Cavalry, took part in the Lame Deer fight against the Sioux on 7 May 1877, and the battle of Bear's Paw Mountains against the fleeing Nez Perce between 30 September and 5 October of the same year. The journals, dated 31 March-31 July and 1 August-31 December, 1877, include accounts of these engagements and of much else their author saw, reflected on, …

Review Of Montana Ghost Dance: Essays On Land And Life By John B. Wright, Larry Watson

Great Plains Quarterly

Late in the nineteenth century, Native Americans of the Plains attempted, through a sacred dance, to bring back a time before the bison all but vanished, before whites came with diseases, greed, and guns, before treaties evicted Indians from ancestral lands. When John B. Wright alludes to the Ghost Dance in his collection of essays, he knows his readers will make connections with that earlier, desperate attempt to restore the past. In Wright's version, however, that past would be before mining companies stripped mountains and polluted rivers and streams, before loggers denuded forests, and before developers converted wilderness to condominium …

The Influence Of Willa Cather's French-Canadian Neighbors In Nebraska In Death Comes For The Archbishop And Shadows On The Rock, Kathleen Danker

Great Plains Quarterly

Willa Cather's high regard for French traditions and culture is reflected in many of her writings, including the novels O Pioneers! (1913), One of Ours (1922), The Professor's House (1925), Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927), Shadows on the Rock (1931), and her last, unfinished narrative set in Avignon. Of these works, readers sometimes think of Death Comes for the Archbishop and Shadows on the Rock as her French Catholic novels because of the heritage and faith of their main characters. Edith Lewis, Cather's long-time companion, recorded that, for Cather herself, writing the second of these two books served as …

Indoctrination And Assimilation In Plural Settings, Ken Badley

Faculty Publications - College of Education

"A twofold problem faces Canadian education. The first fold involves the indoctrination debate, still unsettled after several decades, yet still bearing decisively on educational policy. The second fold involves the changing Canadian educational landscape, now obviously characterized by increasing cultural, religious, and linguistic plurality. This plurality manifests itself in tribalism and in regular conflicts about normativity in the public square. In the midst of this plurality, many Canadian parents of school-aged children believe that courts, provincial governments, and educational authorities deny them educational justice by determining that their own religion cannot inform what their children learn in schools. Yet, from …

Spots On A Gnat’S Ass, Good Soldiers, And Sociology Departments: Stan Saxton’S Pragmatist Approach To Sociology, Dan E. Miller, Fred P. Pestello, Patrick G. Donnelly

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications

Most academics build their careers and establish reputations in the traditional manner, through research and publications. Certainly, this is not the only way to secure a place in the lore of academia. Some are great teachers who gather a large following of students. Still others get involved in professional organizations. While Stan Saxton had a respectable record of publications, was a masterful teacher, and a marvelous critic, his notable contributions to sociology came through his organizational work as a chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Dayton. After his tenure as chair, Stan continued to …

Education And Ambiguous Borders In Mexican Corridos Thriving In The United States, Sara Soledad Garcia

Teacher Education

In a previous papers on the corrido I have considered the corrido as a device for cultural transmutation and have analyzed several corridos by focusing on intertextual clements. My attempt in this paper was to reflect on the connection of the lives of the Mexican immigrants living in the United States with the history of the rural schools in Mexico through clements chronicled in corridos and modes of popular culture. With this in mind, the initial focus of my effort was directed at examining the role of the rural school teacher in connection with the community. I found however, from …
