 | SIGIR has a legislative requirement to prepare a final forensic audit on funds made available for Iraq reconstruction prior to its termination. This review examines the Tikrit Location Command, a $37.8 million project to construct a new area support base for the Iraqi Army. The project is a joint effort between the Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I) and the Iraq Training and Advisory Mission-Army (ITAM). The Joint Contracting Command-Iraq/Afghanistan awarded ... |

| In March 2004, the U.S. Army issued a contract to Parsons Delaware, Inc. Subsequent task orders under the contract provided for the design and construction of 150 primary healthcare centers (PHCs). Two years later, the U.S. Government terminated the PHC task orders; the PHCs throughout Iraq were in various construction phases. In SIGIR's report, Management of the Primary Healthcare Centers Construction Projects (SIGIR-06-011, 4/29/2006), SIGIR reported on the need for ... |

| Informal funds transfer systems (IFTS) are prevalent throughout the world and are used for various legitimate and illegitimate purposes. There are many variations of these systems that can be generally classified as traditional or modern systems. Traditional and modern IFTS share many of the same characteristics, but that is the extent of the similarities between these two groups. Traditional systems were developed to meet the legitimate needs of businesses and ... |

| Prostate carcinogenesis is a multi-step process resulting in the transformation of prostatic epithelial cells into invasive carcinoma and metastasis. In recent years, mouse models have emerged that recapitulate salient features of prostate carcinogenesis found in human disease. These models illuminate the molecular events that result in transformation and disease progression. In addition, mouse models can be used to identify molecular targets and to test chemotherapeutic agents that may alter the ... |

| At sea personnel transfer on any level is an operation that poses a problem for the modern Navy. Current operations are high risk, slow, inefficient, costly, and can only be accomplished in low sea states. As a result of this apparent gap in capability, ONR has deemed it necessary to form concepts which can evolve with the Navy's ever changing vision of Sea Basing. ONR and NAVSEA have created a ... |

| On August 16, 2004, the Bush Administration announced a proposal to significantly alter the U.S. overseas military basing posture. The proposal would, if implemented, establish new overseas operating sites, and transfer up to 70,000 U.S. troops, plus 100,000 family members and civilians, from Europe and Asia back to the United States. The Administration argues that current U.S. global basing arrangements are a product of World War II and the Korean ... |

| This thesis analyzes the role of the Navy's Lateral Transfer and Redesignation (LT&R) process in supporting officer flows across communities. Both surpluses and shortages of officers significantly impact the productivity and readiness of the Navy. Currently several methods exist to redistribute excess officer inventories in some communities to fill officer shortages in other communities. Current policies often adversely affect retention and may prevent the internal officer labor market from efficiently ... |

|
| In the ongoing Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, lands containing unexploded ordnance (UXO) left over from military training have proved particularly difficult and costly to transfer to new users. With a few exceptions, little progress has been made in transferring these lands. This monograph chronicles both the issues that facilitated the transfer of UXO- contaminated lands and those that slowed the transfer, and it offers options for expediting the ... |

| The research was centered around a new experimental technique that uses heat as a proxy tracer to measure the air-sea gas exchange rate. The transfer rate for heat in water is measured by using a known heat flux density and measuring the temperature difference across the aqueous boundary layer. In contrast to geochemical methods that are based on mass balances and that have a slow response time in the order ... |

| In December 1999 under the provisions of the 1977 Panama Canal Treaties, the U.S. relinquished authority over the Panama Canal and ten American military installations throughout Panama. As a result of the provisions of these treaties, U.S. Southern Command will need to compensate for the loss of forward basing in Panama in order to continue to perform its anti-drug regional mission. U.S. Southern Command must also expand its ... |

| Within cooperative learning great emphasis is placed on the benefits of two heads being greater than one. However, further examination of this adage reveals that the value of learning groups can often be overstated and taken for granted for different types of problems. When groups are required to solve ill-defined and complex problems under real world constraints, different socio-cognitive factors (e.g., metacognition, collective learning, the extent to which groups enhance ... |

| Discharge from large impoundments of water, such as those found behind hydroelectric installations, can have major impacts on downstream water quality. Discharges from surface layers over spillways can significantly improve dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in tail waters. Conversely, discharges from lower hypolimnetic regions in a reservoir can release anoxic waters whose low DO can result in large-scale environmental damage. A new technology has been developed called the auto-venting turbine that ... |

| Excited-state proton transfer dynamics are reported for the PHENOL(NH3)n cluster system. Excited state proton transfer is shown to occur for this system by isotopic substitution of the hydroxyl proton and ammonia protons. The observed dynamics slow from 80 ps to 600 ps upon cluster deuteration. The effects of cluster vibrational energy and ammonia concentration in the expansion gas are also studied. The results of these experiments are compared with a ... |
