Age, Growth, And Movement Patterns Of The Atlantic Stingray, Dasyatis Sabina, In A Florida Coastal Lagoon System, Thomas Henry Schmid Jan 1988

Age, Growth, And Movement Patterns Of The Atlantic Stingray, Dasyatis Sabina, In A Florida Coastal Lagoon System, Thomas Henry Schmid

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Age, growth rates, and patterns of movement were studied in the Atlantic stingray, Dasyatis sabina, in the Indian River lagoon system in east central Florida. Age was estimated using the growth rings on the vertebral centrum and tretacycline marking. Tetracycline injections produced clear readable rings in all pups, but failed to be incorporated into the centra of adults. Females possess more centrum rings than males, but annual periodicity could not be verified. Growth rates were determined from aquarium held pups and adults and from tagged and recaptured animals. Males appeared to reach maturity in about two years, females in slightly …

Heavy Metal Removal By Sedimentation Of Street Sweepings In Stormwater Runoff, Mary Elizabeth Brabham Jan 1988

Heavy Metal Removal By Sedimentation Of Street Sweepings In Stormwater Runoff, Mary Elizabeth Brabham

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

ABSTRACT Continuous flow column studies were conducted to characterize suspended sol ids and heavy metal reduct ions through sedimentation with varying overflow rates. The heavy metals tested were cadmium, zinc, copper, iron, lead, nickel and chromium. Stormwater derived samples spiked with street sweepings categorized into particle size ranges less than 500 microns in diameter were utilized in the research. Overflow rates investigated ranged from 28 to 3600 gallons per day per square foot. Theoretical predictions of suspended solids reductions with the application of Stoke's Law exceeded observed reductions for the continuous flow system. Performance curves for all reductions over the …

Re-Inventing The Corporation And Rediscovering The University, Robert O. Blanchard Oct 1987

Re-Inventing The Corporation And Rediscovering The University, Robert O. Blanchard

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques the trend of universities adopting businesslike practices while corporations increasingly model themselves after universities. Drawing on themes from Re-Inventing the Corporation, it argues that higher education has been dismantling traditions of creativity, autonomy, and broad inquiry in favor of hierarchical management and narrow specialization. By contrast, innovative corporations such as Apple, IBM, and W.L. Gore emphasized vision, co-ownership, self-management, and creativity, cultivating environments that empower employees. The discussion contrasts corporate strategies for the Information Age—flexibility, decentralized communication, encouragement of innovation—with universities’ reliance on conformity, rigid structures, and centralized control. Insights from organizational studies suggest that universities have …


Closing The Gap: How Colleges And Universities Can Help Improve Secondary Theatre Education, Donald A. Drapeau Oct 1987

Closing The Gap: How Colleges And Universities Can Help Improve Secondary Theatre Education, Donald A. Drapeau

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the problem of high school students applying to college theatre programs without sufficient academic preparation. Many applicants excelled in drama activities but lacked basic competencies in math, science, or foreign language, often because theatre courses and competitions displaced core academic subjects. The discussion critiques how secondary theatre programs, influenced by play contests, awards, and performance-focused teachers, unintentionally encouraged students to emphasize production at the expense of scholastic development. Suggestions for improvement include shifting college outreach workshops from production techniques to admission requirements, de-emphasizing contests, providing training opportunities for high school teachers, and promoting awareness of theatre career …

Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine Aug 1987

Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines female leadership in male-dominated organizational cultures, particularly within the field of communication. It critiques common advice that encourages women to imitate masculine leadership models, arguing that such approaches create sterile environments and diminish the unique strengths women bring to leadership. The discussion reviews research on organizational culture and the influence of administrators in shaping departmental climates, highlighting persistent barriers faced by women in higher education. Evidence shows that female administrators often experience role conflict, isolation, and burnout, despite having skills comparable to male counterparts. Recommendations include embracing androgynous leadership traits, building professional networks, and promoting cultural change …
