Starbursts Versus Truncated Star Formation In Nearby Clusters Of Galaxies, James A. Rose, Alejandro E. E. Gaba, Nelson Caldwell, Brian Chaboyer Feb 2001

Starbursts Versus Truncated Star Formation In Nearby Clusters Of Galaxies, James A. Rose, Alejandro E. E. Gaba, Nelson Caldwell, Brian Chaboyer

Dartmouth Scholarship

We present long-slit spectroscopy, B - and R -bandpass imaging, and 21 cm observations of a sample of early-type galaxies in nearby clusters, which are known to be either in a star-forming phase or to have had star formation that recently terminated. From the long-slit spectra, obtained with the Blanco 4 m telescope, we ‹nd that emission lines in the star-forming cluster galaxies are signi‹cantly more centrally concentrated than in a sample of ‹eld galaxies. The broadband imaging reveals that two currently starforming early-type galaxies in the Pegasus I cluster have blue nuclei, again indicating that recent star formation has …

Silent Derogation And Perceptions Of Deceptiveness: Does Communicating Nonverbal Disbelief During An Opponent's Speech Affect Perceptions Of Debaters' Veracity?, John S. Seiter Jan 2001

Silent Derogation And Perceptions Of Deceptiveness: Does Communicating Nonverbal Disbelief During An Opponent's Speech Affect Perceptions Of Debaters' Veracity?, John S. Seiter

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Compared to televised debates using a single‐screen presentation, those using a split screen presenting both debaters simultaneously show viewers the nonverbal reactions of a debater's opponent. This study examined the effect of such reactions on viewers’ ratings of both the speaker's and the nonverbal communicator's veracity. Students watched one of four versions of a televised debate. One version used a single‐screen presentation, showing only the speaker, while the other three versions used a split‐screen presentation in which the speaker's opponent displayed constant, occasional, or no nonverbal disbelief regarding the content of the speaker's message. After watching the videos, students rated …

Digital Information For Latin American Social Medicine: A Case Study, Holly Shipp Buchanan, Howard Waitzkin, Jonathan Eldredge, Russ Davidson, Celia Iriart Jan 2001

Digital Information For Latin American Social Medicine: A Case Study, Holly Shipp Buchanan, Howard Waitzkin, Jonathan Eldredge, Russ Davidson, Celia Iriart

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

A multi-institutional collaborative project is described. The aim of the project is to improve access to information on Latin American Social Medicine. The use of the Internet to improve access rather than continue to create barriers to access will be explored. The utility of a digital library of structured abstracts in such initiatives will be demonstrated.


Dynamics Of Being, Space, And Time In The Poetry Of Czeslaw Milosz And John Ashbery, Barbara M. Jolley Jan 2001

Dynamics Of Being, Space, And Time In The Poetry Of Czeslaw Milosz And John Ashbery, Barbara M. Jolley

Faculty Books

Many contemporary critics have been interested in Martin Heidegger's phenomenology and have recognized its importance for literary theory. As a continuation of theoretical explorations, this study undertakes a discussion of poetic visions of reality in the works of contemporary hyperrealistic poets, Czeslaw Milosz and John Ashbery. It breaks new ground by applying the key Heideggerian terms, Dasein, space, time, and culture to explore the reality created by and/or alluded to in the contemporary poetry of Milosz and Ashbery. In its final synthesis, the study proposes the comprehensive concept of ontological transcendence as a model to analyze multidimensional contemporary poetry.

The Bay Study Group was created by the City of Tampa in 1976 to monitor the effects of pollution abatement that occurred in Hillsborough Bay when the city’s wastewater treatment plant was upgraded from primary to advanced treatment in 1979. The Bay Study Group documented a remarkable restoration of water quality parameters and biological indicators in Hillsborough Bay from the mid 1980s until 2009, when it was disbanded. This zip Geodatabase file contains the aerial photos for the year 2001.


Accounting For Domain Context In Evaluation, Meriem Chater, David G. Novick Jan 2001

Accounting For Domain Context In Evaluation, Meriem Chater, David G. Novick

Departmental Papers (CS)

Work is situated activity. Taking into account human factors in evaluation involves considering not only users but also their contexts of use. Consequently, the evaluation of systems — from video-games to safetycritical interfaces — requires analysis of context to understand not only the effect of context on usability but also the impact of artifacts' usability on users' environments. In the case of safety-critical systems (SCS), errors (by users or designers) may threaten human lives.
To assess the degree to which interface evaluation methods currently account for context, we have used the research strategy taxonomy of McGrath as a framework for …

"Conversational" Dialogues In Direct-Manipulation Interfaces, David G. Novick Jan 2001

"Conversational" Dialogues In Direct-Manipulation Interfaces, David G. Novick

Departmental Papers (CS)

This paper reports ongoing research in extending direct-manipulation interfaces by incorporating, via the direct-manipulation modality itself, interaction techniques that add kinds of language features associated with spoken conversation. The paper proposes means of implementing ways for a user of a direct-manipulation system to define new kinds of relations among objects in the interface.


Users And Uses Of Synchronous Business Communications Software, David G. Novick, Eleanor Wynn Jan 2001

Users And Uses Of Synchronous Business Communications Software, David G. Novick, Eleanor Wynn

Departmental Papers (CS)

To help designers and authors understand users' intentions and work practices for synchronous business communications in a systematic way, we used ethnographic and task-analytic techniques to collect, analyze and classify evidence of the activities of potential users as they conducted their work lives. The interactions we observed among our users took place through a variety of modalities. We found eight categories of tasks for the collaborative or interactive work in which our subjects engaged. Based on these data, we were able to classify roles of potential users of synchronous business communications software into a set of "archetypes" that characterize their …


Fluorescent Detection Of Zn2+-Rich Vesicles With Zinquin: Mechanism Of Action In Lipid Environments, Vladislav Snitsarev, Thomas Budde, Thomas P. Stricker, Jason M. Cox, David J. Krupa, Lei Geng, Alan R. Kay Jan 2001

Fluorescent Detection Of Zn2+-Rich Vesicles With Zinquin: Mechanism Of Action In Lipid Environments, Vladislav Snitsarev, Thomas Budde, Thomas P. Stricker, Jason M. Cox, David J. Krupa, Lei Geng, Alan R. Kay

Department of Biology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

High concentrations of free Zn2+ ions are found in certain glutamatergic synaptic vesicles in the mammalian brain. These terminals can be visualized histochemically with quinoline sulfonamide compounds that form fluorescent complexes with Zn2+. The present study was undertaken to examine the interaction of the water-soluble quinoline sulfonamide probe, Zinquin (2-methyl-8-(toluene-p-sulfonamido)-6-quinolyloxyacetic acid) with the complex heterogeneous cellular environment. Experiments on rat hippocampal and neocortical slices gave indications that Zinquin in its free acid form was able to diffuse across the plasma and synaptic vesicle membranes. Further experiments were undertaken on unilamellar liposomes to study the interaction of Zinquin and its metal …


No Rookies On Rookies: Compliance And Opportunism In Policy Implementation, Adrienne E. Hyle, Michael R. Mills Jan 2001

No Rookies On Rookies: Compliance And Opportunism In Policy Implementation, Adrienne E. Hyle, Michael R. Mills

Educational Leadership & Policy Studies Faculty Publications - Archive

This case study analyzes implementation of an institutional policy restricting the use of graduate teaching assistants in freshmen-level instruction. Findings suggest units viewed implementation as a hierarchically determined compliance task or were able to make implementation an opportunity for creative problem definition and solving akin to the organized anarchy model.
