Northwest Perry Child Development Center, 1969
No full textThe following proposal entitled Northwest Perry Child Development CenterIs submitted to the United States Office of Health, Education, and Welfare, office of Economic Opportunity. The project has been designed for a one year period, under the direction of Mrs. Odinga Dalrobl, This project is requesting funds in the amount of $11,900.00. There will be eleven pro�fessional full-time staff members, three part-time professional and eleven non-professionals. The project will run from Sep�tember 1, 1969 to August 31. 1970.The proposed child Development Center will meet an acute need for day care in the Northwest Perry area in Atlanta, Georgia where no child care facility exists for low-income families. The center would serve fifty children from three to twelve years of age, freeing low-income mothers and fathers for the employ�ment market, between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 12:00 midnight.There have been several attempts of welfare recipients and other low-income families to become self-sufficient through employment. Because they are unskilled, many are participating in re-training programs. Others must take jobs at night. What happens to their children during these hours or after they are dismissed from school? This project is worthy of support, because, children will receive the educational, social, and emotional attention due them through knowledgeable, and skilled professional workers. Children of school age will be able to receive free tutoring services in areas where educational weaknesses have been de�tected. This service will be provided by volunteer students and graduates from the Atlanta University Center. Child care which affords maximum opportunity to grow and develop, provides planned and well prepared meals, and assures exceptional physical care of children is the first priority of service given by the child development center, which is here proposed

Modulation characterization using the wavelet transform, 1997
No full textThe focus of this research is to establish an Automatic Modulation Identifier (AMI) using the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and several different classifiers. A Modulation Identifier is of particular interest to the military, because it has the potential to quickly discriminate between different communication waveforms. The CWT is used to extract characterizing information from the signal, and an artificial Neural Network is trained to identify the modulation type. Various analyzing wavelets and various classifiers were used to assess comparative performance. The analyzing wavelets used were the Mexican Hat Wavelet, the Morlet Wavelet, and the Haar Wavelet. The variety of classifiers used were the Multi-Layer Perceptron, the K-Nearest Neighbor and the Fuzzy Artmap. The CWT served as a preprocessor, and the classifiers served as an identifier for Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK), Binary Amplitude Shift Keying (BASK), Quadature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), Eight Phase Shift Keying (8PSK), and Quadature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signals. Separation of BASK, BFSK and BPSK was performed in part one of the research project, and separation of BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, BFSK, and QAM comprised the second part of the project. Each experiment was performed for waveforms corrupted with Additive White Gaussian Noise ranging from 20 dB - 0 dB carrier to noise ratio (CNR). To test the robustness of the technique, part one of the research project was tested upon several carrier frequencies w/2, and w/3 which was different from the carrier frequency w that the classifiers were trained upon. In the separation of BASK, BFSK and BPSK, the AMI worked extremely well (100% correct classification) down to 5 dB CNR tested at carrier frequency w, and it worked well (80% correct classification) down to 5 dB CNR tested at carrier frequencies w/2, and w/3. In the separation of BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, BFSK, and QAM, the AMI performed very well at 10 dB CNR (98.8% correct classification). Also a hardware design in the Hewlet Packard Visual Engineering Environment (HP-VEE) for implementation of the AMI algorithm was constructed and is included for future expansion of the project
The impact of culture and minority status on the African-American female domestic violence experience, 2017
No full textThe purpose behind this non- probability sampling, qualitative study is to explore how culture (being African American) and minority status (being a woman) impact the domestic violence experience. Participants were recruited by the author and within the Atlanta University Center Consortium. This study sought to answer two questions: First, what factors put a woman at risk for experiencing domestic violence; and second, what factors aid in a womans recovery from domestic violence. Based upon both questionnaire data as well as prior research, the author can reasonably conclude that being African American and a woman impacts the contextual experience of domestic violence. KEY TERMS: Domestic Violence, African-American, Women, Female, Men, Culture, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Social Wor
Determination of relative bridgehead carbonium ion stabilities by mass spectrometry; 1-norbornyl vs 1-homocubyl; mass spectra of cubane derivatives, 1978
No full textPart I of this thesis describes an attempt to use mass spectrometry as a physical tool to determine the relative stabilities of bridgehead carbonium ions. An index of relative carbonium ion stability was obtained based on the relative intensity of the [M - Br]+ vs. [M+] ions for a series of aliphatic alkyl bromides. The method works very well for simple alkyl bromides, but is not applicable to strained bridgehead bromides where the incipient bridgehead cation is so strained that rearrangement to a more stable species predominates in the initial fragmentation process. Part II describes the major fragments of certain mono- and disubstituted cubane derivatives
