The National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) conducts quarterly surveys for estimation of some primary commodities produced on farms and ranches. The commodities often have highly skewed distributions with a few farms producing very large amounts. NASS uses dual sampling frames comprised of the list frame for efficient stratification and the...
Clock-feedthrough effects, channel-length modulation and device mismatch are
the main causes of the inaccuracy of Switched-Current (SI) circuits. In this paper, these
non-ideal effects are analyzed. A high-performance current mirror, namely regulated
cascode current mirror, which eliminates drain voltage variation problem is introduced.
By using this current mirror as a...
Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear
dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...
This study investigated various aspects of coaching preparation
at the undergraduate level to determine where coaches are being trained
to enter the coaching profession as well as to determine where active
coaches were trained in the competencies deemed necessary for an
individual to be a success in the coaching profession....
In this paper, an analysis of the clock-feedthrough effects in
switched-current (SI)' circuits will be presented. The clock-feedthrough
effects caused by the non-ideal characteristic of MOS
switches when they are turned off limit the accuracy of the analog
track-and-hold (T/H) circuits. A model to analyze and characterize this
effect is...
The goal of this research was to identify those program elements
and their levels of fulfillment in community college cooperative
education programs which are essential if the success of an employer's
contribution to a student's training is to be reasonably assured.
The primary purpose was to determine if statistically significant...
This thesis examines the role of Erikson’s (1950) theory of generativity in facilitating knowledge transfer during the preretirement transition. McAdams and de St. Aubin’s (1992) updated framework for generativity is used as a theoretical foundation to explain motivation and actions during this period. Through the use of multiple-case studies, twenty-one...
The competencies of athletic coaches in selected Oregon
high schools were analyzed to determine the agreement among
various groups of coaches and principals as to what represents
success in high school coaching, and the agreement among groups
of selected coaches and principals in their assessment of the
importance of these...
