A Study To Assess Criteria Second Graders Use To Select Reading Material, Susan K. Hundley Jan 1996

A Study To Assess Criteria Second Graders Use To Select Reading Material, Susan K. Hundley

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

As teachers stock their classroom libraries with books to entice students to read, they may chose books based on what other teachers suggest or book lists compiled by librarians or publishers of children's books. Selections are not often based on how children themselves select books. A classroom library containing reading material that invites young readers to want to read is a valuable asset to any classroom. Understanding what motivates the students to select and read a book is the first step in building such a library. This study is intended to inform teachers by identifying the criteria children use to …


The Synthesis, Structure, And Tribological Properties Of Niobium Nitride Films Of Varying Crystal Structure, Kathleen Scott Havey Jan 1996

The Synthesis, Structure, And Tribological Properties Of Niobium Nitride Films Of Varying Crystal Structure, Kathleen Scott Havey

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

NbN films have been investigated to determine the effects of microstructure and chemistry on wear and friction coefficients in dry and humid environments. Using magnetron sputtering, NbN films of different stoichiometries and crystal structures have been deposited on 440C substrates by varying the partial pressure of nitrogen (Pn2) and substrate bias potential. In this study, cubic, mixed cubic/hexagonal, and hexagonal films were investigated. The chemistry and structure of the NbN films were evaluated with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). All of the films were then studied to determine their relative tribological properties in dry (2-5% RH) and …

The Effect Of Implementing A Repetitive Multisensory Approach With Language Delayed Preschool Children, Theresa Lynette Mcclain Haist Jan 1996

The Effect Of Implementing A Repetitive Multisensory Approach With Language Delayed Preschool Children, Theresa Lynette Mcclain Haist

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Language is the vocal communication of thoughts and ideas, a process by which meaning is conveyed or expressed from one person to another (Cole & Cole, 1989). Research supports that language can be learned, so providing early language training will help give children the means to express themselves (Cole & Cole, 1989). Due to recent state funding, the current public school systems are beginning to offer services for delayed preschool children and are taking advantage of this critical time period for language development. Perhaps it is time to take a critical look at these new state mandated preschool programs and …


Cognitive Workload And Performance Evaluation In A Telemedical Simulation, Jennifer Jean Hahus Jan 1996

Cognitive Workload And Performance Evaluation In A Telemedical Simulation, Jennifer Jean Hahus

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Telecommunication is a rapidly expanding form o f interacting with a distant party. Medicine has become a popular forum for using this technology in a field known as telemedicine. Telemedical interactions may involve anything from transmitting x-rays over great distances to examining a patient in real time via a television monitor. The introduction of any new technology carries the potential of both benefits and risks. Among these are potential risks to both medical patients and providers. The present research addresses one such risk: the consequences of excessive cognitive workload imposed by the telecommunication per se. It was the goal of …

Factors Related To Attrition From Residential Chemical Dependency Treatment, Jon Evans Hapner Jan 1996

Factors Related To Attrition From Residential Chemical Dependency Treatment, Jon Evans Hapner

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Previous research has shown that many factors are related to premature termination of chemical dependency treatment. Given the amount of money, time and energy that is devoted to the early stages of treatment, an accurate way of identifying those likely to terminate prematurely is needed. The present study had four purposes. First, the hypothesis was investigated that as abuse becomes more severe, subjective distress and codependency will become more pronounced. Second, multiple factors were investigated in relation to attrition from residential chemical dependency treatment. These factors included severity of alcohol and drug abuse, subjective distress, feelings of worthlessness, mistrust of …
