Creating A Pipeline For Business Student Recruitment: Using A Collegiate DECA Chapter For Recruiting High School Students

The College Choice Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior are used to examine recruitment of students to university business programs. These concepts are applied in the context of a Collegiate DECA chapter on campus, which is presented as a method of facilitating progress of high school students through the stages of predisposition to attend college, search for information, and choice of institution of higher education. A survey of 84 high school students who attended events hosted by a Collegiate DECA chapter on a university campus suggests that the collegiate chapter can favorably affect predisposition about higher education, assist with the search process, and improve the students’ perception of volitional control in regard to college enrollment. Results regarding choice of a specific institution are positive, but not as strongly positive as the other findings

Fermionic bound states in Minkowski-space: Light-cone singularities and structure

The Bethe-Salpeter equation for two-body bound system with spin $1/2$ constituent is addressed directly in the Minkowski space. In order to accomplish this aim we use the Nakanishi integral representation of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude and exploit the formal tool represented by the exact projection onto the null-plane. This formal step allows one i) to deal with end-point singularities one meets and ii) to find stable results, up to strongly relativistic regimes, that settles in strongly bound systems. We apply this technique to obtain the numerical dependence of the binding energies upon the coupling constants and the light-front amplitudes for a fermion-fermion $0^+$ state with interaction kernels, in ladder approximation, corresponding to scalar-, pseudoscalar- and vector boson exchanges, respectively. After completing the numerical survey of the previous cases, we extend our approach to a quark-antiquark system in $0^-$ state, taking both constituent-fermion and exchanged boson masses, from lattice calculations. Interestingly, the calculated light-front amplitudes for such a mock pion show peculiar signatures of the spin degrees of freedom.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, bst file include

Innovation in a Legal Vacuum: The Uncertain Legal Landscape for Shared Micro-Mobility

The last few years have seen an explosion in the number and size shared micro-mobility systems (“SMMS”) across the United States. Some of these systems have seen extraordinary success and the potential benefit of these systems to communities is considerable. However, SMMS have repeatedly ran into legal barriers that either prevent their implementation entirely, confuse and dissuade potential users, or otherwise limit SMMS’s potential positive impact. This paper reflects a detailed study of state laws relating to SMMS and the platforms commonly used in these systems. The study uncovered many inconsistencies with micro-mobility laws across the country. Currently, many states lack clear definitions for these emerging forms of transportation, which do not otherwise fit neatly in the categories contemplated by existing law. Several states lack clear, state-level policies, which has led to discrepancies between state and local regulations. Further, there are several areas of micro-mobility law that are sharply inconsistent between states. All of these differences leave users confused as to what the law is and may discourage them from riding. A number of states are attempting to remedy inconsistencies and legislative silence by passing and proposing laws that regulate the use of electric bikes (“e-bikes”) and electric scooters (“e-scooters”), but even these efforts are unlikely to bring the consistency that is needed. Federal authorities should act to create uniform laws and work with states to adopt them, otherwise, the lack of a legal infrastructure may threaten to stifle the innovation and undermine SMMS’s promised returns

A Run-time Self-adaptive Resource Allocation Framework for MPSoC Systems

Self-adaptivity is becoming a key feature of modern embedded systems to meet performance and power constraints in increasingly common situations where embedded application workloads show highly dynamic behavior. This paper presents a scalable framework for adaptive MultiProcessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) systems that allows for adaptivity throttling

A hierarchical run-time adaptive resource allocation framework for large-scale MPSoC systems

In the embedded computer system domain, MPSoC systems have become increasingly popular due to the ever-increasing performance demands of modern embedded applications. The number of processing elements in these MPSoCs also steadily increases. Whereas current MPSoCs still contain a limited number of processing elements, future MPSoCs will feature tens up to hundreds of (heterogeneous) processing elements that are all integrated on a single chip. On these future large-scale MPSoC systems, the mapping of applications onto the hardware resources plays an important role to fully explore the parallelism of applications. In this article, a hierarchical run-time adaptive resource allocation framework which uses an intelligent task remapping approach is proposed to improve the system performance for large-scale MPSoCs
