Site-Selective Excitation And Polarized Absorption Spectra Of Nd3+ In Sr-5(Po4)(3)F And Ca-5(Po4)(3)F, John B. Gruber, Clyde A. Morrison, Michael D. Seltzer, Andrew O. Wright, Melvin P. Nadler, Toomas H. Allik, J. Andrew Hutchinson, Bruce H. T. Chai

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

Polarized absorption and fluorescence spectra were analyzed to establish individual energy (Stark) levels of Nd3+ ions in host crystals of Sr-5(PO4)(3)F (SFAP) and Ca-5(PO4)(3)F (FAP). Site-selective excitation and fluorescence facilitated differentiation between Nd3+ ions in emitting sites-associated with 1.06 mu m stimulated emission, and nonemitting Nd3+ ions in other sites. Measurements were made on samples containing different concentrations of Nd3+ at 4 K and higher temperatures. Substitution of Nd3+ for Sr2+ or Ca2+ was accompanied by passive charge compensation during crystal growth. Crystal-field splitting calculations were performed according to site for Stark levels of Nd3+ ions identified spectroscopically. We obtained …

Qualitative And Quantitative Studies On Chironomidae (Diptera) And Selected Physico-Chemical Parameters In Two Tributaries Of The Wekiva River, Central Florida, Richard J. Lobinske, Arshad Ali, I. Jack Stout

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

Aquatic midge (Chironomidae: Diptera) larval densities, 24-h adult emergence, and larval and adult dry biomass were estimated monthly for two years in two tributaries of the Wekiva River, central Florida, along with selected physico-chemical water parameters. Twenty-four genera of midges were identified in Blackwater Creek and 26 in Rock Springs Run, with subfamily Chironominae dominating the midge fauna. Larval densities in the former stream ranged from 56 to 757 per m(2), with 24-h periods adult emergence ranging from 0 to 95 per m(2). The latter stream supported 138 to 1277 larvae per m(2) with 0 to 68 emergent adults per …

Life History And Productivity Of Hexagenia Limbata (Ephemeroptera: Ephemeridae) And Selected Physico-Chemical Parameters In Two Tributaries Of The Wekiva River, Central Florida, Richard J. Lobinske, Arshad Ali, I. Jack Stout

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

Nymphal densities and size frequency distribution of Hexagenia limbata (Serville), a burrowing mayfly, were determined monthly for two years in two tributaries of the Wekiva River, central Florida, along with selected physico-chemical water parameters. Blackwater Creek supported a mean number of 112 (range 0-434) and Rock Springs Run 89 nymphs per m(2) (range 11-258). The mayfly species displayed a univoltine life history with adult emergence peaking in August. Productivity in Blackwater Creek was estimated at 4.688 g per m(2) and in Rock Springs Run at 3.123 g per m(2). Productivity/biomass ratios were estimated at 4.09 and 4.59 in Blackwater Creek …

Studies On Ara-C-Induced Dna Damage And Apoptosis In Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells Which Overexpress P26bcl-2, Gloria Joan Bullock

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

High expression of p26Bcl-2 in patient-derived AML cells has been associated with poor response to chemotherapy including Ara-C. It has been well established that Bcl-2 over expression blocks apoptosis or programmed cell death induced by a wide variety of stimuli including chemotherapeutic drugs. However, the exact mechanism of action of Bcl-2 in promoting this blockade is still largely unknown. To determine the types of Ara-C-induced DNA damage with which Bcl-2 specifically interferes, HL-60/neo and HL-60/Bcl-2 cells were created via retroviral-mediated transfection of the bcl-2 gene. These transfectants served as in vitro AML cell models that expressed different levels of p26Bcl-2. …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Psychological Androgyny And College Adjustment Among Korean American College Students, Daniel Donghyun Kim

Dissertations

Problem. The process of adjusting to college has been difficult for many Korean-Americans because of the tension that exists between traditional sex roles versus androgynous sex roles. While it has opened doors to new and exciting opportunities in personal growth, complex challenges of academic, emotional, and social adjustments must be made. The traditional views of the subculture have posed unique problems for young Korean Americans who have enrolled in higher education. This descriptive study examined the relationship between androgynous flexibility and the college adjustment of Korean American students. Androgynous flexibility was investigated in terms of college adjustment.

Service Learning Teacher Training Manual, Scott Richardson

Guides

This is a guide for trainers who view service learning as a teaching strategy to improve instruction. The guide assumes that the participants in the training are teachers who will use service learning to help their students achieve the objectives of the school curriculum. Some of the training sessions, such as reflection and defining service learning, may be useful for non-school-based programs as well. The bulk of the guide, however, is shaped by our belief that service learning is good education. We view service learning as an experiential teaching strategy with an ultimate aim of promoting student understanding of established …

An Extended Two-Phase Method For Accessing Sections Of Out-Of-Core Arrays, Rajeev Thakur, Alok Choudhary

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

A number of applications on parallel computers deal with very large data sets that cannot fit in the main memory. In such applications, data must be stored in files on disks and fetched into memory during program execution. Parallel programs with large out-of-core arrays stored in files must read/write smaller sections of the arrays from/to files. In this paper, we describe a method for accessing sections of out-of-core arrays efficiently. Our method, the extended two phase method, uses collective I/O: Processors cooperate to combine several I/O requests into fewer larger granularity requests, reorder requests so that the file is accessed …

Trace Metal Accumulation In Houston And Galveston Area Aquatic Biota As A F Actor Of Their Environment., Fraline Judith Castillo, B. S

Theses (Pre-2016)

Trace metal concentration in natural waters depends on the location of the water site. Studies have shown that water sites that are closer to industrial waste dumping sites, agricultural farms, heavily populated areas and construction sites have a higher concentration of trace metals (1, 2). Aquatic organisms in these areas will also have a higher concentration of these metals (1, 2). The Concentration of lead, zinc and cadmium in water from sites in the urban areas will be lower than that in waters from rural areas (1,2). The purpose of this study is to determine the concentrations oftrace metals in …

The Differential Impact Of A Basic Public Speaking Course On Perceived Communication Competencies In Class, Work, And Social Contexts, Michael W. Kramer, J. S. Hinton

Basic Communication Course Annual

Communication departments generally choose between a public speaking and a hybrid course of their basic course. Previous research has shown that students' perceptions of their communication competencies increase after completing a hybrid course (Ford & Wolvin, 1992, 1993). After noting similarities between public speaking and hybrid courses, this study examines students' perceptions of their competencies after completing a public a speaking course.

Results indicated that students' perceptions of their competencies changed significantly in class, work, and social contacts in such areas as public speaking, interpersonal and group communication, interviewing, listening, and self-confidence. The largest gains were in perceptions of their …
