driven by the machine events start, finish,break, and repair. The combined behavior of multiple finite state machines is generally characterized by anoperation called parallel composition. The idea being that if two machines share an event, thenthe occurrence of that event in each of the machines must be synchronized. If a machine has anevent that is not shared, then that event may occur without regard to the other machines. Page 11.829.4 I f r s W

The wetlands and complex ecosystems that interceptand filter pollution have also decreased by more than one-half in the lower 48 states.7During the 1970’s, the United States Congress encountered problems of protecting thewaterways and drinking water, so they superseded the veto that President Nixon had placed onthe Clean Water Act.8 The Clean Water Act was very effective and drastically reduced theamount of pollution in waterways which were once unsafe. Estimates in 1972 were that 60-70%of waterways were unsafe, and that figure was reduced to about 39% in 2002.6The nature of environmental

There is a real danger of inadvertent disclosure and access to project information must be controlled. Most tier 2+ schools are not initially prepared to accommodate the restrictions and provide the security required. The only way these can be safely done is at a separately controlled area. Additionally, there are usually restrictions on presentation, publication and review.Projects done at the sponsoring company’s facilities. These projects can range from the benign to the really cool high tech. If benign, contracts can be similar to a university sited project. A general

It also provides insight into some complicated, yetcritical, relationships that impact both teacher and student persistence in schools in Indiancountry. Further research on pre-service and in-service teacher development that highlights andleverages the strengths of the American Indian culture in an effort to engage youth and theirfamilies in academic endeavors should be conducted.

The team then moved to the partner site to conduct aRIE to create positive change for the organization. The team was responsible for facilitating anagreed upon definition of the problem, observing and documenting process flows for relatedareas, and collecting and analyzing key data related to the problem. This information was thenutilized to generate potential solutions, finalize and implement the selected solution(s), anddesign and implement appropriate controls to ensure that the problem stays fixed followingsolution implementation. These activities were run as a PDCA cycle consistent with thehealthcare approaches of
