The Emancipatory Effect Of Integrating Communication Research Tenets On Discrete Curriculum Designs, Elizabeth Cheney Michel Jan 1992

The Emancipatory Effect Of Integrating Communication Research Tenets On Discrete Curriculum Designs, Elizabeth Cheney Michel

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Critical philosophers hold that the underlying cause of our current educational dilemma is a societal condition called modernity, the unique result of the technological orientation that has characterized society for the last two decades. Maintaining that individual human interests cannot be served by an instrumentally-oriented educational system, Habermas declares that the key to effecting change is dynamic, democratic communication in the classroom, oriented in the emancipatory interests of the unique individuals therein. The purpose of this study was to reveal an interdisciplinary link between the tenets of critical educational philosophy and communication theory, and, by implementing the dictates of extant …

An Historical Analysis Of The Philosophies Of The Vocational Education Leaders In Relation To The 1990 Carl D. Perkins Vocational And Applied Technology Education Act Amendments, Cynthia D. Woodley

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Federal vocational education legislation has undergone drastic changes in recent years. This study was designed to determine the educational philosophies of the leaders who pushed for the 1990 Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act Amendments and the degree to which the amendments reflected the philosophies of those leaders. Data were collected on testimonies given before the United Stated Congress during hearings related to the act, to identify who the leaders were. Once the leaders were identified, the published literature and testimony of each leaders was analyzed using a model developed by Lloyd Duck and the educational philosophy …

Temperature And Suction Effects On The Instability Of An Infinite Swept Attachment Line, D. G. Lasseigne, T. L. Jackson, F. Q. Hu Jan 1992

Temperature And Suction Effects On The Instability Of An Infinite Swept Attachment Line, D. G. Lasseigne, T. L. Jackson, F. Q. Hu

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

It is known that the incompressible, infinite swept attachment line flow is unstable to streamwise disturbances that originate in the boundary layer when the cross-flow exceeds a critical magnitude. Furthermore, a small degree of suction at the surface has a significant stabilizing influence while a small degree of blowing has a considerable destabilizing influence. This paper investigates the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of, respectively, cooling or heating the plate and the competing or enhancing effects of suction or blowing. A nonorthogonal flow with respect to the attachment line is also considered by adding a component of shear to the mean …

Numerical Solutions For Weakly Singular Hammerstein Equations And Their Superconvergence, Hideaki Kaneko, Richard D. Noren, Yuesheng Xu Jan 1992

Numerical Solutions For Weakly Singular Hammerstein Equations And Their Superconvergence, Hideaki Kaneko, Richard D. Noren, Yuesheng Xu

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

In the recent paper [7], it was shown that the solutions of weakly singular Hammerstein equations satisfy certain regularity properties. Using this result, the optimal convergence rate of a standard piecewise polynomial collocation method and that of the recently proposed collocationtype method of Kumar and Sloan [10] are obtained. Superconvergence of both of these methods are also presented. In the final section, we discuss briefly a standard productintegration method for weakly singular Hammerstein equations and indicate its superconvergence property. © 1992 Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium.

Reasonable Use Rule In Surface Water Law, The, Jennifer S. Graham Jan 1992

Reasonable Use Rule In Surface Water Law, The, Jennifer S. Graham

Missouri Law Review

"Surface water" is a term used to describe water that occurs "on the surface of the earth in places other than definite streams or lakes or ponds."' The primary sources of surface water are falling rain and melting snow, but it may originate from any source. This Comment is not meant to explore some new aspect of surface water law, as there is seemingly no area left untouched by scholars. Instead, this Comment is meant to update the status of surface water law in each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. It will also touch upon the …

Losing The Battle On Obscenity, But Can We Win The War: The National Endowment For The Arts' Fight Against Funding Obscene Artistic Works, Paul N. Rechenberg Jan 1992

Losing The Battle On Obscenity, But Can We Win The War: The National Endowment For The Arts' Fight Against Funding Obscene Artistic Works, Paul N. Rechenberg

Missouri Law Review

Theater. Symphony. Ballet. Photography. Rap. Congress established the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). This government agency promotes the arts through funding the creation and production of artistic works. Recently, however, controversial artistic works have triggered debate over NEA funding. Some artistic works featuring images that go beyond the candor of nude figures have divided viewers into supporters of art and those who shield their eyes from the controversial scenes. The threshold of what art is acceptable and what art is improper has left artists explaining or defending their craft. In 1989, Congress passed a federal law prohibiting NEA funding …

Congress, The Executive Brand And The Dispute Resolution Process, Charles E. Grassley, Charles Pou Jr. Jan 1992

Congress, The Executive Brand And The Dispute Resolution Process, Charles E. Grassley, Charles Pou Jr.

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This rapid, recent expansion in administrative proceedings and related litigation is not, of course, a unique or isolated phenomenon. It is part of a greatly increased reliance on our judiciary to decide all manner of social, political, and economic issues. Much of this litigation may be an inexorable result of complicated social and economic interactions, heightened resort to regulatory schemes to deal with environmental, health and safety, civil rights and welfare concerns, and other historical factors. However, the point has been reached where much of it is unnecessary, unproductive, and less than ideally suited for many of the conflicts involved. …

Confidentiality In Mediation: A Moral Reassessment, Kevin Gibson Jan 1992

Confidentiality In Mediation: A Moral Reassessment, Kevin Gibson

Journal of Dispute Resolution

In discussing mediation confidentiality, it appears that different commentators address different issues. For example, some commentaries discuss only court ordered mediation while others consider the possibility of any intervention by a neutral to be mediation, and hence under scrutiny. There is also disagreement about what should be protected: pre-mediation screening calls, post session discussions among mediators and their supervisors and so on.5 In order to keep the discussion as broad and inclusive as possible, I will use "mediation" to refer to any organized intervention by an impartial third party and to any part of that process. Although some may consider …

Just, Speedy, And Inexpensive Or Just Speedy And Inexpensive - Mandatory Alternative Dispute Resolution In The Western District Of Missouri, April A. Fredlund Jan 1992

Just, Speedy, And Inexpensive Or Just Speedy And Inexpensive - Mandatory Alternative Dispute Resolution In The Western District Of Missouri, April A. Fredlund

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This Comment will address five questions which may arise as challenges to the Western District of Missouri's implementation of its ADR program. First, is the experimental program designed by the court likely to be predictive? That is, will the program be able to tell us whether cost and delay are being reduced by the ADR program? Second, is the program as implemented likely to reduce cost and delay? Third, does the Western District of Missouri have authority to impose mandatory ADR on litigants? Fourth, is the provision for mandatory ADR constitutionally sound? And fifth, assuming affirmative answers to these questions, …

Waiver Of A Contractual Arbitration Agreement By Causing Prejudice To The Opponent: Should Federal Courts Adopt A Bright-Line Test - Kramer V. Hammond, Mark G. Anderson Jan 1992

Waiver Of A Contractual Arbitration Agreement By Causing Prejudice To The Opponent: Should Federal Courts Adopt A Bright-Line Test - Kramer V. Hammond, Mark G. Anderson

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Due to the high costs of litigation and the backlog on court dockets, parties to a contract are beginning to rely more and more on contractual provisions requiring arbitration for future disputes.2 In the past, courts were reluctant to enforce these provisions,' but now the federal courts enforce a strong presumption in favor of such provisions.' Because of this strong federal policy, waiver of the contractual agreements is not easily inferred.5 To overcome this presumption federal courts have developed tests to determine when waiver of contractual agreements to arbitrate occurs.6 These tests focus on whether the opposing party has been …

Demise Of The Faa's Contract Of Employment Exception - Gilmer V. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp., The, Michael G. Holcomb Jan 1992

Demise Of The Faa's Contract Of Employment Exception - Gilmer V. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp., The, Michael G. Holcomb

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The recent trend in the federal courts is to expand the scope of the Federal Arbitration Act2 (FAA) to include statutory claims. 3 Gilmer v. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp. illustrates this trend by compelling claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 19674 (ADEA) to arbitration pursuant to an arbitration clause in an employment contract' But does this trend neglect the rights of the individual employee vis-a-vis his employer and does it undermine the purpose of the "contract of employment" exception in the FAA?' This Note will examine the Gilmer case and its adherence to the current trend of expanding …

Arbitrator And The Double Jeopardy Clause: Does The Postman Always Ring Twice - United States V. Reed, The, David A. Cole Jan 1992

Arbitrator And The Double Jeopardy Clause: Does The Postman Always Ring Twice - United States V. Reed, The, David A. Cole

Journal of Dispute Resolution

When an arbitrator's decision is adverse to one party, does the double jeopardy clause2 prohibit further pursuit of the claim by the successful party? With the rising emphasis being placed on arbitration clauses in collective bargaining agreements, it was only a matter of time before this question arose in the workplace. In United States v. Reed3 the Eleventh Circuit established the test for determining if an arbitrator's decision invokes the double jeopardy clause.

The Relation Between Stress And Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus: Physiologic Arousal Or Disruption Of Compliance?, Virginia Diane Garrett Jan 1992

The Relation Between Stress And Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus: Physiologic Arousal Or Disruption Of Compliance?, Virginia Diane Garrett

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The relations between minor life events, compliance, urinary free cortisol, and blood glucose in 40 adults with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was examined. Specifically, this study explored whether naturally-occurring minor stressful events had disruptive effects on metabolic control through: (a) an arousal mechanism mediated by cortisol, (b) disruption of the individual's adherence to prescribed treatment, (c) a combination of arousal and disruption of compliance, or (d) a third, unspecified mechanism. Stress did not influence metabolic control, either independently or via a stress-compliance or stress-arousal mechanism although stress was related to cortisol activity. Neither the direct effects of cortisol nor a cortisol …

The Effects Of Organoclay Adsorption On The Solidification Of Organic Wastes., Adam Faschan Jan 1992

The Effects Of Organoclay Adsorption On The Solidification Of Organic Wastes., Adam Faschan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The effects of organoclay adsorption on the leaching performance of solidified organic wastes was researched. Adsorption isotherms were developed for the adsorption of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB), nitrobenzene (NB), and phenol by five different organoclays. Simulated liquid wastes containing DCB, NB, and phenol were solidified utilizing various combinations of Type I Portland cement and the five organoclays. The ratio of cement/clay utilized in each solidification matrix varied from 3/2 to 13/2. Linear and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models were utilized to predict the leaching performance of samples cured for 7, 28, and 90 days. The ratio of the actual leachate concentrations compared to …

Tournaments And Ideal Class Groups., Robert John Kingan Jan 1992

Tournaments And Ideal Class Groups., Robert John Kingan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In a series of papers published in the 1930's, L. Redei and H. Reichardt established a method for determining the 4-rank of the narrow ideal class group of a quadratic number field, essentially by finding the rank over ${\bf F}\sb2$ of a $\{0,1\}$-matrix determined by applying the Kronecker symbol to the prime divisors of the field discriminant. When this field is of the form ${\bf Q}(m\sp{1\over2}),$ with $m={\pm}p\sb1{\cdots}p\sb{n},$ each $p\sb{i}\equiv3$ (mod 4) prime, this matrix takes a form similar to that of the adjacency matrix for a tournament graph. Also, in this case we can find the 4-rank of the …
