Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

In order to address the problems of preparation that many rural Alaskans have when they first arrive at college. Sheldon Jackson College developed a program, the Early College Incentive Program (ECIP), designed to expose 8th grade rural students to the learning and living requirements of college. In June. 1988, the next phase of the preparatory process will be initiated: an advanced college preparation program for 11th graders who successfully completed the initial program.

The case study method of research was employed to study preparatory and compensatory programs at other colleges and universities in order to develop a model that could …

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The purpose of this project was to improve the academic performance of transitional first grade students by developing the students’ oral vocabularies. The researcher developed a 12 week vocabulary development curriculum; by using a natural language approach 104 words were introduced. The classroom teacher presented the daily 20 minute lessons. Pre- and post-implementation vocabulary ages were measured with the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R). Pretest vocabulary ages ranged from two years and zero months to five years and four months.

Final test results indicated the vocabulary ages of the 19 participating students increased and average of 11 months. Individual student …

Producing And Implementing A Video-Recorded Word Processing Tutorial In A Community College Closed-Entry, Open-Exit Microcomputer Lab, Patricia A. Pelachik

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The study revolved around word processing students at a community college and the elective use of a tutorial video while working independently in a lab. The study recorded the frequency of unit use of the tutorial and the most frequent purpose of use. Students viewed the tutorial as a preview, a source of technical assistance for problem solution, or as a review when text assignments had been completed. Student comments at the close of the study measure the availability of technical assistance while working in the lab compared to a previous class not having access to tutorial video assistance. The …

The Physiological Implications Of Bleaching Of Corals Off Southeast Florida, C. J. Reese, G. S. Kleppel, Richard E. Dodge

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Proceedings, Presentations, Speeches, Lectures

As part of an ongoing study of coral bleaching, observations were made of corals on reefs (ca. 8m) off John U. Lloyd Beach, Dania, FL, in December, 1987. Bleaching was evident in approximately 50% of Montastrea annularis, the dominant scleractinian coral species. Quantitative pigment measurements by HPLC show that bleached corals contained

Decline Of Coral Growth Rates At Negril, Jamaica, T. J. Goreau, Richard E. Dodge, P. D. Goreau

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Proceedings, Presentations, Speeches, Lectures

Montastrea annularis heads were collected near Negril, Jamaica, along transects from open, normal reef conditions into the mouths of rivers draining the Negril Morass. Corals subject to turbidity (particulate peat and dissolved humic compouonds near rivers, re-suspended reef sediments away from them) were growing more slowly than those in normal circumstances. Surprisingly, corals growing fastest were slowing the most, and the slowest growers increasing growth rate. Linear regression analysis of growth trends over the past two decades revealed stable limit-cycle behavior: change of growth was inversely proportional to growth rate, with a very significant correlation coefficient of -0.92. We suggest …

Vadosiapus Copacabanus, A New Genus And Species Of Exoedicerotidae From Brazil (Crustacea, Amphipoda), J. L. Barnard, James Darwin Thomas

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Vadosiapus copacabanus, n. gen. is described from the surf zone on the beach at Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The genus and unique species is related to the three known species of Bathyporeiapus, which range southward from Brazil through the Magellan region of South America. Vadosiapus is distinguished from Bathyporeiapus in the odd phoxocephalid-like article 3 of the mandibular palp, the nonsinuate epimeron 2, the broadened tel son bearing only midsagittal armaments and the enlarged dactyl of gnathopod 2.

Elasmopus Balkomanus, A New Species From The Florida Keys (Crustacea, Amphipoda), James Darwin Thomas, J. L. Barnard

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Elasmopus balkomanus is described from Looe Key Reef in the Florida Keys. The species is very close to the eastern Pacific E. antennatus but in the male has equally extending rami on uropod 3, only 2 (versus 4-6) spines on each lobe of the tel son in adults, a lateral ridge on the propodus of male gnathopod 2 and very heavily armed flagella of antenna 2 in the male.

This species lives in a short-tufted algal turf community on coral rubble but apparently is rare because it has only been collected once in 10 years of sampling in the Florida …

Ipanemidae, New Family, Ipanema Talpa, New Genus And Species, From The Surf Zone Of Brazil (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Haustorioidea), J. L. Barnard, James Darwin Thomas

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

A new family of haustorioid Amphipoda resembling the Phoxocephalopsidae and Urothoidae has been discovered in sands of the surf zone off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Like the recently described Cheidae, the new speciesgenus- family combines various characters of haustorioids in a unique manner and bears one unprecedented apomorphic character: an alate, uncleft telson.

The new taxon has the following characters of Urothoidae: antenna 2, head, and distal parts of pereopods but has a distinctive antenna I, coxae 1-2, mandibular palp, telson and epimera 1-2. Ipanema has the following characters of Phoxocephalopsidae: coxae, mandibles, and uropod I but has distinctive antennae …

The Relationship Of Non-Verbal Intelligence Measures To Academic Achievement Among Deaf Adolescents, Nicholaus Paal, Susan Skinner, Carl Reddig

JADARA

This study examined the correlations between academic achievement and two tests of none verbal intelligence often used with the deaf population, the Hiskey-Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude (H-NTLA) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Performance Scale, in a sample of 35 deaf high school students. Both tests correlated significantly positively with measures of reading comprehension and mathematical calculation and were, in fact, in the same range as typical correlations between overall IQ and achievement in the hearing population. The WAIS-R Performance Scales correlated significantly higher with reading comprehension than did the H-NTLA. The results seem to validate the use …

Resource Sharing: A Study Of Florida's Shared-Used Library Collections, Susan Anderson

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

Designed to provide library service for two or more different groups of library users in one library facility, shared-use or joint-use libraries are a unique aspect of library resources sharing. Thirteen examples of shared-use library collections in shared or joint-use library facilities in Florida were examined in this investigation. Special focus was placed on the perceptions of librarians who work in these libraries in order to determine how well the libraries meet the information needs on users and how successful the libraries are in conserving financial resources as a result of combined collections. A design of a special resource collections …
