Consumption And Loss Of Formaldehyde In Electroless Copper Plating, Peter John F. Sutch Jan 1993

Consumption And Loss Of Formaldehyde In Electroless Copper Plating, Peter John F. Sutch

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The objectives of this research were to quantify formaldehyde consumption due to plating and parasitic reactions and determine the magnitude and distribution of formaldehyde losses from the electroless copper plating process. Plating and rinse bath samples obtained from three electroless copper plating operations were analyzed for formaldehyde and copper in order to develop a mass balance analysis about the plating bath for periods of active production and no production. Fugitive air and stack releases of formaldehyde were estimated using emission factors developed from air sampling at the three facilities. It was determined that approximately 90% of the formaldehyde added to …

The Impact Of Responsibility Center Management On Communications Departments, Don Agostino Jan 1993

The Impact Of Responsibility Center Management On Communications Departments, Don Agostino

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the impact of responsibility center management (RCM) on the communications departments in universities in the U.S. RCM has pointed out several problems with university fiscal planning which bear directly on communications programs. First, there is no budget provision for the planned replacement of expensive theater, telecommunications, or journalism equipment. Second, under RCM departments with auxiliary-type activities such as theater, a television station or student newspaper have difficulty taxing other credit-granting academic units for those contributions to community. The university needs these outreach and artistic activities to educate the students, to provide a cultural environment appealing to good …

Political Correctness--Correct?, Paul H. Boase Jan 1993

Political Correctness--Correct?, Paul H. Boase

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article provides information on political correctness (PC). PC, as an expression, began years ago as something of a joke to describe communists who slavishly toed the party line. In the eyes of the right-wing anti-PC forces, this modern crusade toward multiculturalism sprang from the machinations of the 1968 campus radicals.

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach To Cultural Learning Through Cable Television, John F. Dillon, Sheila C. Crifasi Jan 1993

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 …

The Influence Of Gender And Area Of Specialty On Salary For Telecommunication Graduates, David Atkin Jan 1993

The Influence Of Gender And Area Of Specialty On Salary For Telecommunication Graduates, David Atkin

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the influence of gender and area of specialty on salary for telecommunication graduates in the U.S. Gender is linked with a key earnings attribute--nature of work experience. The positive influence of work experience is not surprising, confirming the expectation that those with more experience are likely to earn more money. While much of this influence may be a function of seniority, it seems likely also that lower-paid or less skilled employees would shake-out of their media position relatively sooner. Those remaining in the field would logically advance as their skills dictate, developing closer ties with client accounts, …

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Challenge To Use Teaching Portfolios To Document The Scholarship Of Teaching, Don M. Boileau Jan 1993

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Challenge To Use Teaching Portfolios To Document The Scholarship Of Teaching, Don M. Boileau

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the use of teaching portfolios in documenting the scholarship of teaching in the U.S. Portfolios are generally three-ring binders that create teaching records including most often three types of materials: products of good teaching; material from oneself; materials from others. The major contribution most advocates of portfolios mention is the perceived improvement of teaching. Portfolios increase reflection and action about teaching by: giving focus on teaching as part of a professor's expected activities; encouraging faculty to seek ways to improve their teaching by attending conference meetings on teaching, reading about teaching techniques, and creating discussions about teaching …

Public Relations Internships: Considerations For A Successful Program, H. W. Fulmer Jan 1993

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 …
