Generalized bending of a plate with a circular inclusion of arbitrary rigidity
(The Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design, 2001-01-01)
The paper presents an exact closed-form solution for a thin isotropic plate containing a circular elastic inclusion and subjected to arbitrary bending moments at large distances from the hole. Quantitative results are ...
A Case Study on the Impact of Web-based Technology in a Simulation Analysis Course
(SIMULATION, 2001-04-01)
A case study is presented on the use of web-based technol ogy to transition from a lecture-based delivery system to an online/multimedia technology delivery system at the University of Oklahoma's School of Industrial ...
Biomechanical Analysis of Postural Sway in Elderly Adults on Ramps
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2001-10-01)
This study investigated the effects of ramp angles on postural deviation as a function of age. Five ramp inclinations (1:8, 1:10, 1:12, 1:16, and 1:20) were examined in both ascent and descent directions. Five younger (22 ...

State Court Budgeting and Judicial Independence: Clues from Oklahoma and Virginia
(Administration & Society, 2001-03-01)
Perceived assaults on the independence of the judiciary have called new attention to how courts obtain their funding. Little scholarly activity has examined the question of how courts negotiate the politics of budgeting ...
Serving the Public Interest?: Federal Experiences with Participation in Strategic Planning
(The American Review of Public Administration, 2001-06-01)
A clause in the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 instructs federal agencies to “consult with stakeholders during strategic plan development.” This requirement is a type of institutional control designed to ...
Improved Equation for Shear Modulus Using Four-Point Ring-Twist Test Data
(Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 2001-11-01)
There are numerous test-specimen configurations for determining the static shear modulus of composites. Selection of specimen configuration depends primarily on product component configuration. Two-ring specimens in use ...
The Professional Ex- Revisited: Cessation or Continuation of a Deviant Career?
(Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, 2001-12-01)
An ongoing question is whether participation in deviance is fluid or stable. In a 1991 article, Brown introduced the concept of the “professional ex-,” an individual who uses former deviant status as a springboard into a ...
Using Newly available Homicide Data to Debunk Two Myths about Violence in an International Context: A Research Note
(Homicide Studies, 2001-08-01)
This article employs newly available crime and vital statistics data from Russia to debunk two myths about violence in an international context. The first myth is that the United States is the most violent industrialized ...
The species-area relationship: new challenges for an old pattern
(Progress in Physical Geography, 2001-03-01)
The species-area relationship (i.e., the relationship between area and the number of species found in that area) is one of longest and most frequently studied patterns in nature. Yet there remain some important and interesting ...
