Transcendent Teacher-Learner Relationships: A Vision For Pursuit., Hunter O'Hara Jan 1992

Transcendent Teacher-Learner Relationships: A Vision For Pursuit., Hunter O'Hara

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Mounting outcry for improvement in education gives rise to consideration of learning phenomena that soar above the symptoms of an ailing system. Transcendent teacher-learner relationships, defined as spontaneously occurring ones that exceed traditional roles of interaction, result in turning point encounters for one or both relators. Having had such an encounter, the individual is never again quite the same, as perceptions are changed and life goals are altered. Teacher and learner move beyond the historical preoccupation with the learner's receptive need. Such relationships are never assigned, but instead they require two self-motivated relators who share a biographically oriented connection. This …

Acquisition Of Word Concept In Two Kindergarten Classrooms., Elwin Leonard Dickerson Jan 1992

Acquisition Of Word Concept In Two Kindergarten Classrooms., Elwin Leonard Dickerson

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study explored how differing teaching methodologies affect word concept development during the first semester of kindergarten. Comparing fourteen kindergarten students matched on age, concepts about print, cognitive level and home factors in kindergartens differing in teaching philosophy, the researcher administered tasks to assess development of concept of word. Those tasks structured to assess word concept development, were administered every other week. Clay's "Concepts About Print" (CAP) task provided the pre- and post test assessment. The seven students exposed to a holistic philosophy and seven students exposed to a skill building philosophy demonstrated no significant differences when their word concept …

Role Of Estrogen And Boron In Calcium Metabolism And Eggshell Formation In The Chicken., Xuezhong Qin Jan 1992

Role Of Estrogen And Boron In Calcium Metabolism And Eggshell Formation In The Chicken., Xuezhong Qin

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The Ca supply for eggshell formation depends on the rate of calcium transport in both the intestine and shell gland. Although estrogen (E{dollar}\\sb2){dollar} is known to play an important role in the regulation of Ca transport in these tissues, the mechanism responsible for this effect has not been elucidated. Study 1, 2, and 3 were thus conducted to determine the role of E{dollar}\\sb2{dollar} in the regulation of Ca-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase (AP) in both the shell gland and intestine of immature chicks. In the shell gland, E{dollar}\\sb2{dollar} treatment increased the Vmax of Ca-ATPase without increasing the affinity of Ca-ATPase for …

Exact Enumeration And Scaling For Fragmentation Of Percolation Clusters, Boyd F. Edwards, Mark F. Gyure, M. Ferer Jan 1992

Exact Enumeration And Scaling For Fragmentation Of Percolation Clusters, Boyd F. Edwards, Mark F. Gyure, M. Ferer

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

The fragmentation properties of percolation clusters yield information about their structure. Monte Carlo simulations and exact cluster enumeration for a square bond lattice and exact calculations for the Bethe lattice are used to study the fragmentation probability {ital a}{sub {ital s}}({ital p}) of clusters of mass {ital s} at an occupation probability {ital p} and the likelihood {ital b}{sub {ital s}{prime}{ital s}}({ital p}) that fragmentation of an {ital s} cluster will result in a daughter cluster of mass {ital s}{prime}. Evidence is presented to support the scaling laws {ital a}{sub {ital s}}({ital p}{sub {ital c}}){similar to}{ital s} and {ital b}{sub …

Special Events And Community Elites: An Exploratory Study, Roger A. Lohmann Nov 1991

Special Events And Community Elites: An Exploratory Study, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Special events are an important phenomenon in the American voluntary sector, both as a form of fundraising activity and as celebrations of the efforts of volunteers and recognition of the importance of causes and problems. This unpublished paper reports on a study of a national sample of elite special events publicized in a national circulation magazine which at the time published a regular feature in each issue highlighting charitable events. Findings profile the kinds of events and beneficiaries identified as special events during the 1980s, before an extensive amount of fundraising research had been done.

Buddhist Commons In Asia, Roger A. Lohmann Oct 1991

Buddhist Commons In Asia, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Although nothing precisely like the modern nonprofit organization, voluntary association or foundation existed in Asia prior to the 20th century, there can be little doubt that some types of similar indigenous activities are found deep in the history of the many cultures of Asia. Buddhism, for example, has a long record of organized activity, beliefs about giving, and other evidences of what might be termed Buddhist philanthropy.

The Repertory Of Social Care Of The Elderly, Roger A. Lohmann Jul 1990

The Repertory Of Social Care Of The Elderly, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

This paper is an analysis of aspects of the emergence of a repertory of social care services for the elderly from the vantage point of the common theory of voluntary action. One facet of that theory, labeled here as endowment theory, is an emerging rational choice model of the praxeological implications of voluntary action within the pragmatic problem-solving tradition. Three terms – endowment, repertory and commons – are presented in the paper as terms whose conventional meanings contain previously undisclosed connotations relevant to a fuller understanding of voluntary action.

Rapid Pyrolysis Of Eastern And Western Oil Shales In An Entrained Reactor., Guo-Qing Zhang Jan 1990

Rapid Pyrolysis Of Eastern And Western Oil Shales In An Entrained Reactor., Guo-Qing Zhang

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

An entrained reactor system (LFER) has been used to study the rapid pyrolysis kinetics for both eastern (New Albany) and western (Colorado) oil shales. Under the condition of high heating rate, a fundamental understanding of the processes influencing oil production and product quality/composition was obtained. Flow visualization and temperature characterization in the LFER were conducted to provide a critical laminar flow and isothermal reaction zone. Calibration curves depicting the flow regimes confirmed that the existing inlet and reactor design can be operated without particle dispersion caused by turbulence. A thermocouple tree was successfully utilized to identify the conditions necessary to …
