An Analysis Of The 20-Year Use Of A Deep Broward County Lime-Rock Pit As A Natural Advanced Wastewater Treatment And Groundwater Recycling Facility, With A Recommendation That: With The Large Number Of Similar Lime-Rock Pits In Southeast Florida, The Opportunity For Expanding The Benefits Of Such Inland Wastewater Retention Should Be Given Serious Consideration Instead Of Wastefully Discharging The Water Into The Ocean., Curtis M. Burney, Bart J. Baca, Gary S. Kleppel, George H. Snyder, Raymond F. Mcallister, Michael T. Hermesmeyer, Ben H. Chen, Bill Raymond, Charles R. Forman

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports

The benefits of the inland retention of freshwaters in South Florida are indisputable. During periods of prolonged drought, the maintenance of a higher groundwater table, which benefits terrestrial vegetation and retards saltwater intrusion, is clearly preferable to the alternative of discharging up to 400,000 gallons of freshwater per day into the ocean.

Therefore, the only objections to the retention of treated sewage effluent in an inland lime-rock pit, with the physical, chemical and biologic characteristics of our pits, would have to do with possible detrimental effects to public health or the environment. The major public health concern involves the possible …

A Case Study Of The Weaknesses In Postsecondary Mathematics Problem Solving And A Program To Eliminate Such Deficiencies, Robert E. Cinnamond

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The purpose of this Major Applied Research Project was to investigate the weaknesses in post-secondary mathematics problem solving and to develop an instructional design that would help mathematics majors become better problem solvers. A case study was conducted including an extensive literary search to determine which strategies were needed to enhance problem solving. Three basic research restrictions were examined: 1. Why do Brescia mathematics majors fail to develop correct cognitive strategy selection during their normal course of study. 2. How can an appropriate course of study be designed to teach proper cognitive strategy selection? 3. How can an appropriate course …

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The first segment of this report describes a program for improving the awareness of youth gangs in our schools and in the community. The program was designed to team school personnel with law enforcement agencies and other allied groups in a systematic plan to increase the awareness of parents, school staff, and members of the community of youth gangs and their activities in Broward County, Florida. In a survey of teachers and administrators during a Youth Gang Conference which was held in February of 1989, it was revealed that the majority of the participants indicated a need to be trained …

Improving Student Writing Performance At A Junior High School Through A School-Wide Writing Project, Paul G. Ondeck

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This report describes a program for improving the writing performance of junior high school students in an urban school with a diverse student population. The problem noted was that student performance had been declining in the area of writing, both in content as measured by the California Assessment Program, and in the correct usage of writing conventions as measured by the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills.

Classroom observations and teacher interviews indicated that there was no consistency of instruction in the English Department's writing program, either between classes within the same grade level or between grade levels. The range of …

Carbonate Deposits In Marine Fish Intestines: A New Source Of Biomineralization, Patrick J. Walsh, Patricia Blackwelder, Kenneth A. Gill, Eva Danulat, Thomas P. Mommsen

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Marine teleostean fish are hypo-osmotic to seawater. As part of a multiorgan osmoregulatory strategy they drink seawater and selectively absorb water and minerals across the intestinal epithelium. Notably, divalent cations (Ca²⁺ and Mg^2-) are left behind. We report here that in the gulf toadfish, Opsanus beta, the ionic by-products of osmoregulation in the intestine contribute to de novo formation of a carbonate mineral, tentatively identified as calcian kutnohorite. Our data suggest that intestinal mineralization is a general feature of osmoregulation in marine teleosts and that this process is an unrecognized and possibly substantial source of marine …

The Development, Implementation, And Evaluation Of A Remedial Program For High Risk Students Attending The Basic Skills Education Program At Fort Bragg, Alexandrine P. Nash

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The Army Education Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has enrolled a large number of soldiers who are academically deficient in reading and mathematical skills in the Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP). Although a verbal courses of the BSEP are offered at Fort Bragg during the yeas, a great number of students is not raise their initial general technical scores (GT) to the minimum acceptable level of 100, and many students do not even complete the course. Because of the complexity of military operations, the technical nature of equipment and communication, and the current political and economic situation that calls …

Redistricting The Elementary School Population In The Westfield, Massachusetts Public Schools, Thomas Y. Mcdowell Ii

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This report describes a project designed around the reorganization of the elementary school population in Westfield, Massachusetts. Previous to this plan, the elementary school population attended school in one setting that housed grades K-4, and were moved to another setting for grades five and six. A long range plan was needed to replace obsolete facilities and respond to continued community growth. The purpose of the redistricting plan was to eliminate yearly redistricting and to prevent future problems in the assignment or elementary school students

A long range plan was developed by the superintendent of schools and adopted by the school …
