Three hundred ninety-one questionnaires were returned for a response rate of 84%. Six null hypotheses were tested for significance at the.05 level. The one-way analysis of variance and the Student-Newman-Keuls statistical procedures were used to test the responses of the three groups of participants for significant differences. All the null …

An Examination Of The Leadership Of Administrators In Higher Education As Represented In The American Academic Novel From 1950 To 1990, Laura T. Barnett

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the academic leadership as portrayed in the American academic novel from 1950 to 1990. Leadership positions from higher education (president, vice-president, dean, and chairperson) were examined in this analysis of 40 academic fiction novels. The leader behavior of the selected characters was classified, using the following categories: autocratic (telling), democratic (selling), participative (participating), delegative (delegating), situational (varying) and "other" (unclassifiable due to lack of information or criteria variance). The finding was that the majority of academic leaders, in the novels studied, behaved using an autocratic (telling) leadership behavior. Also, the majority of …

Students' Perceptions Of Native And Non-Native English Speaking Graduate Teaching Assistants (Gtas), Florence Louise Ouzts May 1991

Students' Perceptions Of Native And Non-Native English Speaking Graduate Teaching Assistants (Gtas), Florence Louise Ouzts

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated students' perceptions of native English speaking (NES) and non-native English speaking (NNES) graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). A total of 69 GTAs teaching in the Spring and Summer semesters of 1990 at selected Southern universities participated in the study. The primary aim of this research was to determine if students' ratings of GTAs were general or cultural specific and to identify specific student-trait variables that potentially might bias students' ratings of NNES GTAs. It was hypothesized that the more acculturated the NNES GTAs were to the American university setting the more favorable would be the students' ratings of …

Metabolism Of Arachidonate-Containing Phospholipid Molecular Species In The Murine Macrophage-Like Cell Line, P388d1, Crystal R. Waites

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Glycerophospholipids of mammalian cells exist as chemically diverse structures with various fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. Arachidonic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which may be converted to biologically active eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, is found predominantly in the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids. The purpose of this study was to examine, at the level of the individual molecular species, the incorporation of arachidonate into phospholipids and its release from phospholipids during stimulation. In this way, the specificity of the enzymes controlling arachidonate metabolism could be examined in order to clarify the processes that control the …
