Gross Domestic Product of any country often influence economic decisions by policy makers, market participants and econometricians on policy recommendations, evaluation and forecasting. However these decisions are often based on preliminary data announcements by statistical agencies. It is therefore important to ensure that the preliminary GDP announcements are efficient and can be relied on. This paper focuses on South Africa's preliminary announcements of quarterly GDP estimates by examining...

During the March 2002 Servicing Mission by Space Shuttle (STS 109), the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was refurbished with two new solar arrays that now provide all of its power. These arrays were built with viscoelastic/titanium dampers, integral to the supporting masts, which reduce the interaction of the wing bending modes with the Telescope. Damping of over 3% of critical was achieved. To assess the damper s ability to maintain nominal performance over the 10-year on-orbit design goal,...

A study of the trends related to demand and academic performance at an 11-campus higher educational system, the University of Hawaii system, was conducted over a 14-year period during which tuition increased at varying rates. The results indicate the presence of tuition-dollar thresholds that constitute the financial tolerance level beyond which demand starts to decrease. In this study, the threshold in tuition-increase tolerance levels seemed to be around $240 for the community colleges and...

The athletics season at colleges and universities is well under way, with college football games drawing millions of spectators. For example, Clemson University, with an enrollment of 17,000 students, is located in Clemson, S.C., with a population of approximately 12,000. But Clemson Memorial Stadium, which can seat more than 80,000 football fans, is often filled to capacity. And game days at colleges and universities across the nation are often accompanied by daylong drinking and partying. In...

Bundling, a practice which has increased dramatically in the television and cable industries in recent years, occurs when program distributors package groups of movies and episodes of series, and then sell licenses to use these packages to TV stations and cable channels. Typically, such bundled packages include both highly desirable and less desirable films or episodes of off-network series. Bundling can easily turn into block booking, the illegal practice of making programming available in...

IN 1967 THE COUNTRY AVERTED AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN AND CONTINUED INSTEAD TO COMPLETE ITS 7TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF EXPANSION. ALTHOUGH GAINS FOR THE YEAR AS A WHOLE WERE SMALL IN COMPARISON WITH THE SHARP ADVANCES OF THE PREVIOUS 2 YEARS, BY YEAREND, THE FORCES OF GROWTH WERE ABUNDANTLY EVIDENT AND POINTED TO A RENEWAL OF IMPROVEMENT IN THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION. BY THE END OF 1967, THE OVERALL UNEMPLOMENT RATE AND THE RATES FOR MOST (BUT SIGNIFICANTLY NOT ALL) GROUPS IN THE LABOR FORCE WERE THE...

This paper examines the contributions of Industrial Engineering and Management Science toward reduction in the cost of production and distribution of food. Food processing firms were requested to respond to a questionnaire which asked for examples of their use of various operations research tools and information on the number of operations research people employed by them. Replies came only from large firms--with sales volume above $300 million annually. Another questionnaire, addressed to...

This study examined the potential consequences of reductions in the fiscal support of 4-year public colleges and universities in general and in Virginia in particular from the perspective of academic officers. In 2002, a qualitative case study was initiated in conjunction with the chief academic officers of Virginia's 15 4-year public colleges and universities. The data from interviews, correspondence, and surveys were used to assess the institutional perspective relative to the 2002 General...

To develop a theoretical framework for explaining the observed change in demand for human skill and knowledge that occurs with economic growth, a macroeconomic analysis was made of economic variables which are influenced by political, social, and cultural factors. In the three-dimensional framework, total output (Y) of all final goods and services produced in the economy during one specified time period is treated as a function of three inputs, capital (K), labor (L), and natural resources (R)....

The growth of a fatigue crack through a material is the result of a complex interaction between the applied loading, component geometry, three-dimensional constraint, load history, environment, material microstructure and several other factors. Previous studies have developed experimental and computational methods to relate the fatigue crack growth rate to many of the above conditions, with the intent of discovering some fundamental material response, i.e. crack growth rate as a function of...

The meaning and measures of structural unemployment are discussed in this paper. The first section examines the linkages between the concepts of cyclical, frictional, seasonal, and structural unemployment. The next sections analyze measures of structural unemployment based on the view that structural unemployment is substantial during times of high economic activity. Using the concept, the paper derives the distribution of the structurally unemployed. (Although the incidence of structural...

The reaction oxygen difluoride, OF2, with ethylenically unsaturated fluorocarbon compounds is examined. Depending upon the fluorocarbon material and reaction conditions, OF2 can chain extend fluoropolyenes, convert functional perfluorovinyl groups to acyl fluoride and/or epoxide groups, and act as a monomer for an addition type copolymerization with diolefins.

"Can NGOs provide alternative development in a market-based system of global economics?" Today, a full ten years after the author first asked this question, individuals still have only partial answers. There is no doubt that NGOs are playing in a more significant role in global ODA (overseas development assistance). While the reasons for supply of aid are varied, certainly furthering the institutional or national strength of the donor is a primary consideration. While NGOs may not...

This study used a standard deterministic input-output economic impact model to estimate the impact of Nova Southeastern University (NSU) on the South Florida economy. After application of a conservative 1.8 multiplier, it was determined that NSU and its many faculty, staff, students, and guests contributed over $217 million to the South Florida economy during fiscal year (FY) 1994. Although the university is best known for its distance education programs, nearly 80 percent of NSU's budget...

An understanding of culture in organisations can offer insights into individual and group behaviour, and leadership. It can help to explain not just what happens in an organisation, but why it happens. However, many people are concerned not just with understanding culture, and hence organisational life.

An economic analysis of alternative space transportation systems is presented. Results indicate that the expendable systems represent modest investments, but the recurring costs of operation would remain high. The space shuttle and tug system requires a substantial investment, but would substantially reduce the recurring costs of operation. Economic benefits and costs of the different systems are also analyzed. Findings are summarized.

This paper discusses controversy over the relevance of the past for understanding immigrant trajectories of today. While one interpretation says that the past and present fundamentally diverge (such that a substantial portion of today's newcomers are unlikely to climb up and into the American social order in the fashion experienced in previous years), another interpretation suggests that the country is not easily rid of the past. This paper disagrees with a suggested construction of the past...

There is a need to develop fine pitch x-ray collimator grids as an enabling technology for planned future missions. The grids consist of an array of thin parallel strips of x-ray absorbing material, such as tungsten, with pitches ranging from 34 microns to 2.036 millimeters. The grids are the key components of a new class of spaceborne instruments known as 'x-ray modulation collimators.' These instruments are the first to produce images of celestial sources in the hard x-ray and gamma-ray...

U.S. gains from trade include access to needed raw materials, consumer...
