  • Pattern systems and methodologies for multiparadigm analysis and design

    Creator:
    Knutson, Charles D.
    Abstract:
    In this research, we have captured, in pattern form, key elements of programming and design in four programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional and logical) as well as multiparadigm programming. These pattern sets have formed a foundation upon which we were able to build a deeper understanding of multiparadigm programming and...

    Abstract:
    During the depression era, millions of Americans listened to the weekly radio addresses given by Father Charles Edward Coughlin.

  • Autistic conflict in higher education

    Creator:
    Murray-Ritchie, Susan K.
    Abstract:
    This study documents three cases of protracted conflict in an institution of higher education. Work groups in conflict were studied for one year in order to create cases and to describe factors influencing conflict escalation. From these cases, autistic conflict as a descriptive construct was developed to illustrate one phase...

  • The protection of instream flows in Idaho

    Creator:
    Schellbach, Ruth
    Abstract:
    Instream flow protection in western prior appropriation states is a relatively new phenomenon. Integrating instream flow protection measures with the older water law has been accomplished with varying degrees of success. Idaho relies on appropriation of unappropriated water by the Idaho Water Resource Board for protection of instream flows. Idaho's...

  • Pharmacokinetic modeling of theophylline and dyphylline and pharmacodynamics of ibuprofen input rate on antipyresis

    Creator:
    Stevens, Ruth E.
    Abstract:
    Pharmacokinetic parameters for theophylline and dyphylline were evaluated in horse cerebrospinal fluid (csf) and plasma. Pharmacokinetic parameters did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) at the same dose for either drug when administered alone or concomitantly. Theophylline and dyphylline penetrate horse csf to produce approximately 1/2 the concentrations found in...

  • Register spilling in a compiler for architectures with multiple identical functional units

    Creator:
    Goodman, Joseph M.
    Abstract:
    A good code generator must effectively utilize the registers provided by the target architecture. Although a number of register allocation techniques exist, few address the issues involved in multiple register banks and no known techniques exist for effectively using register banks of the same type that are associated with multiple...

  • Implementing parameterized types in Java

    Creator:
    Vidos, Hugh
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project was to investigate the addition of parameterized types to the Java programming language. Two different parametric polymorphism mechanisms were developed and compared. The first was a preprocessor and the second was a compiler. Parameterized types allow a programmer to create generic programs. Much as a...

  • The development of an instrument to identify dispositions for interactive group communications in cross-cultural learning environments

    Creator:
    Miller, Dwight Errol
    Abstract:
    An increased cross-cultural interaction around the world is being dictated by the ever increasing communication needs required by business and national concerns. This increased interaction, and its resultant inter-dependence, is often referred to as "Globalization." Due to the effect of globalization on the business and education environments, this study was...
