A Gravity Investigation Of The Fayette Structural Zone And Surrounding Area, Northeast Iowa, Richard L. Kellogg, Christopher Meinen

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

A gravity survey was conducted over approximately 2600 square kilometers of northeast Iowa. The survey was undertaken to provide detailed gravity coverage at approximately one mile intervals and to investigate the sources of gravity anomalies in the study area. An additional objective was to verify with gravity data the presence of the Fayette Structural Zone, previously identified on the basis of magnetic linears. Four hundred and twenty-seven gravity stations were occupied and data from these stations combined with extant data from the Geological Survey Bureau of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to produce the gravity interpretation. A Bouger gravity …

A Meeting Of Cultures: Faculty And Part-Time Doctoral Students In An Edd Program, Paul R. Smith

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to examine the cultural perspectives of the part-time doctoral students in educational administration and of selected faculty in the college of education at a medium sized middle western university. More specifically, the intent was to determine what types of cultures existed within these groups, the factors contributing to the development of these cultures, and what affect these factors had on the Ed.D. degree itself. A qualitative research approach was taken and included individual interviews, classroom observations, and university documents. Non-participant observations included five doctoral classes and related formal and informal conversations. The data gathering …

Infusing Global Education Into The Foreign Language Classroom: A Look At The Iowa Global Education Standard, Darcie J. Novotny

Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)

This study is designed to focus on the various aspects of infusing global education, as mandated by the Iowa Department of Education, into the high school foreign language classroom. Included in the study is an assessment of the approaches infusion of global education and a sample lesson plan meeting the guidelines as established by the mandate. A survey of 52 Iowa foreign language teachers was conducted to assess attitudes toward global education and to assess the implementation of global education. Further areas for research will also be discussed.

Whole Language: A Delivery System For Facilitating Literacy Behaviors In Kindergarten, Carol Feddern

Graduate Research Papers

The move to all-day every-day kindergarten programs has given rise to concerns about the nature of developmentally appropriate curricula and instruction in these programs. It is feared by some early childhood specialists that all-day every-day kindergarten classrooms will become, and are becoming, inundated with paper and pencil worksheets which are dictated by academic skill curricula. In addition, it has been determined that children are entering school with a substantial understanding of reading and writing which has created a call for an examination of the literacy experiences being offered to kindergarten children (Schickendanz, 1986; Strickland, 1990). As a result, kindergarten programs …

Advances In Biomolecule Analysis: Ftms Of Macromolecules, Curtiss D. Hanson, Ira M. Simet, Suzanne R. Smith

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The development of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) as an analytical technique has opened new avenues to the analysis of high molecular weight biomolecules. Because mass analysis is based on a detection of a frequency, it is possible to obtain high resolution mass measurements without sacrificing sensitivity. The unique ability to analyze high mass ions is based in the design of a passive ExB ion trap. Although in the past, field inhomogeneities have limited this technique, recent developments in both trap designs and excitation techniques have resulted in major improvements in both sensitivity and resolution.

Third World Development And Korean Society: A Case Study Of The Automobile Industry, Jaephil Cho

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The objective of this research is to analyze the development of the Korean industrialization process. The question posed herein specifically involves the industrialization process in Korean society with regard to dependent development in the Third World. This research will elucidate major reasons for Korean economic development process by illustrating several different theoretical perspectives which center on Third World industrialization process. The review of literature is presented to outline the complex process of Third World industrialization by using seven different perspectives which try to explain the pattern of the uneven development of industry in the Third World. The methods used to …

Floristic Composition And Conservation Status Of Fens In Iowa, John A. Pearson, Mark J. Leoschke

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Over 200 extant fens of varying condition were documented during an extensive inventory conducted in Iowa between 1986 and 1991. Approximately half of the extant fens support endangered, threatened, special concern, or other rare plant species. Approximately 25 fens are outstanding conservation prospects with intact vegetation, high species richness, and rare species. Nearly 40% of all potential fen sites have been destroyed by cultivation or damage; another 30% remain unknown due to lack of a field visit, but most appear on aerial photographs to be very small, disturbed fragments. In addition to their traditionally recognized range in northwest Iowa, fens …

Striking A Balance: Accommodating And Challenging Student Differences, Peter Meidlinger

Iowa Journal of Communication

Carol Severino's "Personality Types and Classroom Dynamics" provides a model capable of introducing into the classroom questions which are central to the concerns of developmental learning theorists. Following the work of Jerome Bruner and others, many instructors interested in developmental learning consider it essential to invite students to reflect upon how their individual ways of seeing and being in the world either enhance or interfere with their problem-solving abilities, and that seems to be a central goal of Severino’s. Whether we ask students to argue for policy change or interpret a literary text, we want them finally to stand back …
