One of the main justifications of felon disenfranchisement policies since their adoption in the United States has been keeping the ballot box "pure". This study addresses four main questions often left unanswered in the academic research on felon disenfranchisement policy: (1) How would felons and ex-felons vote if given the opportunity?, (2) Would felon and ex-felon political stances be significantly different than the non- felon population?,...

The Thesis addresses the threat to child health in three sections. The first summarizes the health effects of children's exposure to tobacco smoke. The second address measurement issues central to action: measuring health impact, children's exposure and the economic burden of that exposure. The third turns to interventions and includes evidence of effective policies and programmes to reduce children's exposure to tobacco smoke along with a fra...

Devolatilization is a significant step in fluidized bed combustion or gasification of coal. Oxygen-enriched air can increase the efficiency of any coal combustion process. In this work, devolatilization of five Indian coals having volatile matter in the range of 31 to 41% has been studied in argon, air and oxygen-enriched air (containing 30% oxygen) under fluidized bed conditions at 1123 K and atmospheric pressure. The diameter of the coal par...

This book considers dense wireless sensor networks that are designed for applications with continuous data delivery models, where sensors periodically report to a base-station or a data processing center. Since wireless communication is considerably more energy-expensive than signal processing or computing, we tackle the problem using three different energy-conserving techniques: clustering, which improves the communication efficiency, node sc...
