Selecting Windows For South Florida Residences, Florida Solar Energy Center, Ross Mccluney

FSEC Energy Research Center®

To provide some guidance to the victims of hurricane Andrew in Dade County, we performed a study of various types of modern glazing systems that might be incorporated in windows for south Florida residences.

The dominant energy impact of residential windows in south Florida comes from the solar radiant heat gain entering these windows and the corresponding heat loads on cooling systems. Thus any extra dollars spent by homeowners to purchase improved replacement windows should be spent in lowering the solar gains of the windows purchased (by reducing glazing shading coefficients or by adding exterior shading devices or vegetation) rather …

The Cry-Wolf Phenomenon And Its Effect On Alarm Responses, James P. Bliss

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Responses to alarms are assumed important. Yet failure to respond to alarms is recognized, although is not well understood or quantified. Conditions that might induce a failure to respond include alarm unreliability (i.e., numerous false alarms, the "cry-wolf" effect), high primary task demand, or low criticality of the alarm itself. The goals of this research were to substantiate the existence of the cry-wolf effect, quantifying its effect on operator performance, and to examine the relation between the cry-wolf effect and alarm criticality. One hundred thirty-eight UCF students alternatively performed two primary tasks, chosen from the Automated Performance Test System. Subjects …

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach To Cultural Learning Through Cable Television, John F. Dillon, Sheila C. Crifasi

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines a multi-disciplinary approach to cultural learning through cable television. In the U.S., television current affairs programming is now being used in place of conventional textbooks in those subject areas dealing with rapidly unfolding world developments, such as history and political science. While it may take years to revise a traditional textbook, college educators are relying on the quickness of television--as well as print mass media--to help their students comprehend dynamic global events. In 1989, recognizing their own potential as an educational resource, major cable companies and programmers created Cable in the Classroom to help K-to-12th grade educators …

Important Components Of An Effective Assessment Program, Mary Lou Higgerson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article describes the components that are characteristic of effective assessment program. Assessment of student learning outcomes is setting new records as a fast growing nationwide initiative. Experts such as T. Dary Erwin, Director of Student Assessment at James Madison University, reference the "first wave" of institutions who made "early commitments to establish assessment programs and became national pioneers." Alvemo College, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and Northeast Missouri State University are the three institutions usually credited as leading this first wave. It is important to note, however, that these pioneering efforts only began in the early 1980s, just …

Academic Theatre And The Law, John C. Countryman

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article offers evidence of how law pertains to the management of theatre programs and argues that to accept the common characterization of the law as an instrument of social control or as the science of social problem-solving is to ignore the larger intellectual life it affords. Whether we acknowledge it or not, those of us who administer theatre programs are engaged in an activity that is informed by and subject to the legal imagination and the culture of argument it creates. In 1990 the Carnegie Foundation published a report entitled Campus Life: In Search of Community. The report chronicles …

Public Relations Internships: Considerations For A Successful Program, H. W. Fulmer

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the pre-graduation internship as a vital link between public relations classes and the public relations profession. Internship is a vital and necessary part of the public relations degree program. It has three major areas: academic preparation, academic structure and administrative procedures. The timing for an internship is important. A student without some basic classroom knowledge of public relations is not likely to receive the fullest benefits from his or her internship. The prospective intern should have completed a substantial part of two related areas of study prior to the internship. The success of an internship program is …
