Perception And Control Of Locomotion, John M. Flach

Psychology Faculty Publications

Over the past four years we have been studying problems of control and coordination with funds from AFOSR. Work over the first three years has been reviewed in the final report for the original AFOSR award (Flach, 1996). This report reviews work for the last year of the ASSERT grant. This work has focused on perception and control of low altitude flight. Experimental work from two synthetic task environments is described in this report. The first environment involved descent to low altitude. The key independent variables were speed of forward motion and optical texture (dot, grid, splay, depression). Results showed …

Overture - Calvino's Mr. Palomar, Charles S. Taylor

Wine Journey: Tasting Dwelling Learning at The Kitchen Table

This is not a culinary essay. The bread of interest is Scottish, discussed by a philosopher, Hume, whose craft is often ridiculed precisely because it bakes no bread. The archaicallynamed cheese is Parisian; the Italian watercress constitutes part of a salad of Italo Calvino's last protagonist, Mr. Palomar. Still, contrary to appearances, my concern is no picnic. If we think of the pleasure that one can derive from bread, cheese and salad we begin to turn in the right direction. Kant tells us that beauty is determined by the feeling of pleasure in the subject who has become disinterested. Kant …

Dimer And Néel Order-Parameter Fluctuations In The Spin-Fluid Phase Of The S=1/2 Spin Chain With First- And Second-Neighbor Couplings, Yongmin Yu, Gerhard Müller, V. S. Viswanath

Physics Faculty Publications

The dynamical properties at T = 0 of the one-dimensional (1D) s = 1/2 nearest-neighbor (NN) XXZ model with an additional isotropic next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) coupling are investigated by means of the recursion method in combination with a weak-coupling continued-fraction analysis. The focus is on the dynamic structure factors S_zz(q,ω) and S_DD(q,ω), which describe (for q = π) the fluctuations of the Néel and dimer order parameters, respectively. We calculate the dependence on the exchange constants of the infrared exponent, the renormalized bandwidth of spinon excitations, and the spectral-weight distribution in S_zz(q,ω) and S_{DD …}

When An Esl Adult Becomes A Reader, Lucy Tse

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This case study focuses on the effects of an extensive reading program for an adult English language learner. The subject participated in a course designed to introduce and promote pleasure reading among English as a second language (ESL) students by encouraging them to read both assigned and self-selected books in English. Over a period of approximately six months, the subject was presented with a variety of genres of English language books and given the opportunity to discuss those read in low anxiety environments. This article will first give a brief review of the literature on the role of reading in …

Creating Metacognitive Experiences During Written Communication: Positive Self-Talk Using The Thinking Mirror, Jane A. Haugh, Jan Pawtowski

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Theoretically, when children see themselves in the thinking mirror and say positive thoughts to themselves about their communicative behaviors, they may activate a variety of cognitive events. Positive self-talk using the thinking mirror may act as a metacognitive experience triggering positive thoughts, feelings, and sensations that may contribute to children's permanent metacognitive knowledge, clarify their cognitive goals, and initiate cognitive actions during written communication. Such positive experiences may strengthen children's intrinsic motivation to communicate thoughts during subsequent writing and reading endeavors.

Migration In Nebraska Counties, 1980 To 2000, John Austin

Business in Nebraska

Population changes are watched closely by business people, educators, and policymakers. Issues such as workforce availability, school enrollment, and taxation all are affected by population trends. A key variable driving population change is migration-the movement of people into and out of a geographic area.

In the first half of the 1990s, a substantial number of counties in Nebraska reversed the losses of population due to outmigration that had characterized the 19805. These positive trends will continue over the next 15 years. There remain, however, a large number of counties, particularly those defined as rural, that have not reversed the outmigration …

Food Security In The Southern African Development Community States, Joshua Chigodora

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

The 1995–96 cereal harvest in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) is the best within the last ten years. Provisional assessments project a regional maize surplus of 2.08 million tons, a 72% increase in production over the previous year’s harvest. Overall cereal production substantially increased in all countries except Tanzania, where the current cereal forecast of 3.73 million tons is a 14% drop from last year’s output of 4.34 million tons. Of special note are the exceptionally large increases in the area planted in cereals in war-ravaged Angola and Mozambique, for the first time in many years. Production trebled in …

Assessing The Impacts Of El Niño And Non-El Niño-Related Droughts Over India, R. H. Kripalani, Ashwini Kulkarni

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

It has now been recognized that the single most important key to the earth’s year-to-year climate variability is the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. El Niño episodes directly affect the climate of at least half the planet and in many instances result in heavy loss of life and resources. The global impacts of El Niño events have been summarized in a review article by Bigg (1990), while the role of ENSO in Indian monsoon rainfall variability is given in Krishna Kumar et al. (1995). During the ENSO warm/ cold extremes—i.e., El Niño/La Niña events—the majority of the episodes induce below/above-normal …

Moisture Deficit Index Evaluated For Dry Regions Of India, K. K. Nathan, S. K. Sinha

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

In India, about 70% of the cultivable land is rainfed. This includes areas where crops are rarely affected by drought and areas where crops experience moisture stress and often fail. The regions with the latter characteristics are often called dryland areas and the agriculture so practiced there is known as dryland agriculture. About 35% of the total cultivable land belongs in this category. To determine the magnitude of water deficiency in these regions, the moisture deficit index (MDI) has been evaluated for dryland stations in India. The MDI is usually determined on the basis of annual precipitation and annual potential …

Exploring The Potential For Using Enso Forecasts In The U.S. Corn Belt, Jennifer G. Phillips, Cynthia Rosenzweig, Mark Cane

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

Interannual climate variability poses the greatest risk that farmers face. Until recently, seasonal climate forecasts have been weak and therefore rarely observed by farmers in making management decisions. Farm management is generally based on long-term mean expectations of climate and crop responses to local edaphic conditions. Currently, significant progress is being made in the skill level of predictions of seasonal to interannual climate, primarily because of new understanding of the teleconnections between ocean circulation and atmospheric processes. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) refers to fluctuations in both sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) in the eastern equatorial Pacific and in sea-level pressures in …

Meteorological Drought In Turkey: A Historical Perspective, 1930-–93, Murat Türkes

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

The climate of Turkey, which is mainly characterized by the Mediterranean macro climate, results from the seasonal alternation of frontal depressions with polar air masses and subtropical high pressures with subsiding maritime tropical and continental tropical air masses. Continental tropical airstreams from the northern African and Arabian deserts particularly dominate throughout the summer, by causing long-lasting warm (hot) and dry conditions over Turkey (except the Black Sea region and northeastern Anatolia). Turkey has an area of 779,452 km² and an average elevation of 1,132 m.

This study outlines some spatial and temporal characteristics of Turkey’s rainfall, particularly in terms …
