    Reducing DUI-related collisions: evaluating the effectiveness of enhanced DUI enforcement

    No full text
    The purpose of this study was to determine whether a correlation existed between a city???s DUI rate and DUI Crash rate. The author???s hypothesis was that an increase in DUI arrest rate would lead to a decrease in DUI-related collisions. Arrest data, crash data and population data were drawn from RAND California for all cities in the State of California for the years of 2000 to 2009. This data were utilized to create variables for the percent change in DUI arrest rate and DUI crash rate from the first half of the decade (2000 to 2004) to the second half of the decade (2005-2009). These percent change variables were correlated using a Pearson???s bi-variate analysis. The results showed a weak positive correlation between the percent change in DUI arrest rates and DUI crash rates. This indicates that as DUI arrests increase, DUI-related crashes increase as well. Due to the limitations of this research model and the resulting weak positive correlation, further research will need to be conducted to determine, with greater certainty, the correlation between enhanced DUI enforcement and DUI-related collisions

    Compatibility of XML language versions

    No full text
    Abstract. Individual organisations as well as industry consortia are currently defining application and domain-specific languages using the eXtended Markup Language (XML) standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The paper shows that XML languages differ in sig-nificant aspects from generic software engineering artifacts and that they therefore require a specific approach to version and configuration man-agement. When an XML language evolves, consistency between the lan-guage and its instance documents needs to be preserved in addition to the internal consistency of the language itself. We propose a definition for compatibility between versions of XML languages that takes this ad-ditional need into account. Compatibility between XML languages in general is undecidable. We argue that the problem can become tractable using heuristic methods if the two languages are related in a version his-tory. We propose to evaluate the method by using different versions of the Financial products Markup Language (FpML), in the definition of which we participate.

    The effects of incarceration on behavior patterns of DUI second offenders using TFA Systems (tm)

    No full text
    The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of incarceration on behavior patterns on DUI second offenders. This study assessed the thoughts, feelings, and actions of adult, male DUI second offenders at four points. Specifically, behavior patterns were assessed at the time the individual made a decision to engage in drinking which led to their second DUI arrest, at two points during their incarceration for this offense, and thirty days after their parole from jail. A review of the extant literature provided insight into the factors influencing DUI recidivism. An interview protocol was developed from the literature analysis. Data were collected by interview and by extraction of relevant information from confidential court records. The TFA Clinical Interview was contained in the interview protocol and provided qualitative and quantitative data relevant to each participant's decision about engaging in drinking at specific times. The Hutchins Behavior Inventory (HBI) was used at two intervals, in conjunction with the TFA Clinical Interview, as an objective quantitative assessment of behavior relevant to the same drinking decision. The quantitative and qualitative assessment of thoughts, feelings, and actions contributed to the overall conclusion that incarceration had no effect on behavior pattern change for these DUI second offenders. The results of this study suggest the DUI second offender planned their drinking events, failed to consider the consequences of drinking and driving behavior, and perceived a low probability of detection of driving under the influence. Feelings relevant to the drinking episode were positive based on anticipation of favorable social interaction. Actions were limited to work and those activities which involved drinking. TFA System (tm) provided a method to evaluate thoughts, feelings, and actions relevant to decisions about engaging in drinking behavior. Such a method of assessment showed promise as a valuable tool to be used in the development of effective intervention strategies for DUI recidivists.Ed. D
