Abstract/Description
Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a large, conservative, evangelical church. The church has gained national and international recognition for several reasons. Beginning in 1965 and for several years, the church was the fastest growing Presbyterian church in the United States. The pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy, developed a lay evangelism program called "Evangelism Explosion," and churches in over 160 nations have adopted the method. Kennedy also has a...
Show moreCoral Ridge Presbyterian Church, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a large, conservative, evangelical church. The church has gained national and international recognition for several reasons. Beginning in 1965 and for several years, the church was the fastest growing Presbyterian church in the United States. The pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy, developed a lay evangelism program called "Evangelism Explosion," and churches in over 160 nations have adopted the method. Kennedy also has a television ministry. Additionally, Coral Ridge developed a large and active music ministry, built a Christian day school, and founded Knox Theological Seminary. These ministries are a result of Kennedy's leadership, Coral Ridge's approach to lay evangelism, and the application of Calvinism.

An Investigation into the Acoustic Variability and the Attenuation of an Acoustic Signal within a Port Environment Focusing on Port Everglades, Florida.
Creator
Sheahan, Daniel, Frisk, George V., Florida Atlantic University, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
A methodology for characterizing the acoustical properties of a port environment, namely Port Everglades, has been proposed and carried out. This approach includes both a port-wide analysis of how the basic oceanographic features within the port impact the acoustic properties, and also a more focused sampling methodology within a small region of Port Everglades, allowing for the acoustic characteristics, including ambient noise, and an approximate signal absorption to be computed. The results...
Show moreA methodology for characterizing the acoustical properties of a port environment, namely Port Everglades, has been proposed and carried out. This approach includes both a port-wide analysis of how the basic oceanographic features within the port impact the acoustic properties, and also a more focused sampling methodology within a small region of Port Everglades, allowing for the acoustic characteristics, including ambient noise, and an approximate signal absorption to be computed. The results documented through the duration of this research indicate that the temperature variation throughout the port is the principal contributor to the characteristics of the sound velocity profile. Ambient noise measurements have revealed high levels of background noise within the sub-5 kHz region, owing likely to consistent port traffic. The calculation of absorption indicates that high frequency systems, i.e. > 100 kHz, may encounter problems when transmitting over a considerable distance. These are important factors for consideration when implementing a successful underwater acoustic system.

Abstract/Description
Although federal, state, and local governments have invested millions of dollars in social and economic programs, many citizens do not possess the basic necessities of life. The gap between the "haves" and "havenots" continues to grow. According to a 1990 Bureau of the Census report, the poverty rate among blacks in America is 31.9 percent; hispanics, 28.1 percent; and whites, 10.7 percent. Further, young black males have one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. For example, the...
Show moreAlthough federal, state, and local governments have invested millions of dollars in social and economic programs, many citizens do not possess the basic necessities of life. The gap between the "haves" and "havenots" continues to grow. According to a 1990 Bureau of the Census report, the poverty rate among blacks in America is 31.9 percent; hispanics, 28.1 percent; and whites, 10.7 percent. Further, young black males have one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. For example, the Department of Labor reported that during the fourth quarter of 1991, the unemployment rate of black males between the ages of twenty and twenty-four was 21.5 percent; hispanic males, 12.3 percent; and white males, 9.8 percent. Consequently, cities are faced with high unemployment rates, declining tax base, large welfare rolls, and increased crime. To combat these and other problems, an economic development planning approach which closes this gap must be developed. The economic development planning and implementation activities of the Cities of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach, Florida, are explored to determine the extent to which they are addressing the needs of disadvantaged residents, particularly African-Americans. Questionnaires (surveys) and personal/telephone interviews are the basic techniques used to collect data. Based on the corporate-center, the distributive-corporate, and the corporate-distributive approaches to economic development planning and implementation, responses are analyzed to classify each City's approach. Responses concerning selected development projects are also analyzed to determine the extent to which these projects are addressing identified needs of the economically disadvantaged. The results indicate that both Cities have on-going economic development programs, which are attempting to close the gap between the "haves" and the "havenots," however, certain segments of the population are still excluded. A conceptual framework, "team enrichment" or the people-centered approach, is developed to bridge the gap between economic development planning and the needs of the disadvantaged. Team enrichment yields team empowerment. Team empowerment is the catalyst for community empowerment, which in turn achieves social, political, and economic power. Power is achieved through the actions of a community economic development (CED) triangle, which is held together by a strong community-public-private alliance.

Show moreThe development of an unmanned underwater vehicle at Florida Atlantic University with onboard optical sensors has prompted the temporal and spatial optical characterization of Port Everglades, with in-situ measurements of the turbidity, conductivity, and temperature. Water samples were collected for laboratory analysis where attenuation and absorption were measured with a bench top spectrometer. All of the measurements showed a high degree of variability within the port on a temporal and spatial basis. Correlations were researched between the measured properties as well as tide and current. Temporal variations showed a high correlation to tidal height but no relation was found between turbidity and current, or salinity. Spatial variations were primarily determined by proximity to the port inlet. Proportionality constants were discovered to relate turbidity to scattering and absorption coefficients. These constants along with future turbidity measurements will allow the optimization of any underwater camera system working within these waters.

Abstract/Description
The early economic and social development of Fort Lauderdale began in the late nineteenth century. Today’s well-known Stranahan House in downtown Fort Lauderdale was originally the Stranahan Trading Post and General Store, which was in operation from 1894 to 1906. Adjacent to this building was a campground, which was used by early Florida white settlers and Seminole Indians.

Today’s well-known Stranahan House in downtown Fort Lauderdale was originally the Stranahan Trading Post and General Store, which was in operation from 1894 to 1906. Adjacent to this building was a campground, which was used by early Florida white settlers and Seminole Indians. This thesis presents a study of 204 whole glass bottles recovered from the Stranahan campground archaeological site (8BD259). The analysis confirms that a greater proportion of the bottles were used when the property was a campsite. Moreover, soda/mineral water, not alcohol, was the more common type of beverage consumed at the site during this time.

Abstract/Description
Available air quality data has been analyzed using the Industrial Source Complex Dispersion Model (ISC3). The FORTRAN program Mobile 5a was utilized to obtain the emission factors. Concerning the toxic volatile organic compounds, the simulations indicate that benzene exceeded the previous permissible air quality standard. Toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene values remained within allowable concentration levels. Long-term annual benzene emissions from stationary sources exceeded the former...
Show moreAvailable air quality data has been analyzed using the Industrial Source Complex Dispersion Model (ISC3). The FORTRAN program Mobile 5a was utilized to obtain the emission factors. Concerning the toxic volatile organic compounds, the simulations indicate that benzene exceeded the previous permissible air quality standard. Toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene values remained within allowable concentration levels. Long-term annual benzene emissions from stationary sources exceeded the former reference concentration of 0.12 mug/m 3 about five times per year, whereas the data for 8 and 24 hours were relatively low. Simulation results for the mobile sources demonstrated that the emission factor is a highly sensitive parameter. Possible realistic scenarios at Port Everglades were obtained through varying benzene concentrations. The results are plotted as concentration contours, in order to visualize areas of suspected health risk associated to air pollution. Compared to the Reference Concentration for Chronic Inhalation Exposure, EPA, the modeled results appear significantly less.
