The Availability Of Inferences In Children And Young Adults, Gerilyn A. Katz

Student Work

Much of the research on age-related differences in the ability to inhibit irrelevant information in a given task has been on the study of younger and older adults. Only a minimal amount of research has focused on the developmental differences in children and young adults. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to examine whether age-related differences exist between children and young adults in processes consistent with inhibition.

Third-, sixth-grade children, and college undergraduates listened to twenty-four garden path passages containing either expected or unexpected, but acceptable, conclusions. The twenty-four passages were divided into four subsets, with each subset containing …

A Study On Employees Retraining Programmes In Hong Kong, Mei Ling, May Wong

Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies Working Paper Series

Hong Kong has experienced an economic transformation from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy which has impacted on the demand for manual labour. In 1992, Employee Retraining Board was set up to provide employees retraining programmes to the unemployed manual workers. This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of the programmes in helping the unemployed manual workers to acquire and develop knowledge, skills and abilities so that they can re-enter the labour market. The evaluation is based on assessment of training needs, course design in terms of programme structure and content, course evaluation, and follow-up services conducted by the selected …

Growing Degree-Days: One Equation, Two Interpretations, Gregory S. Mcmaster, Wallace Wilhelm

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Heat units, expressed in growing degree-days (GDD), are frequently used to describe the timing of biological processes. The basic equation used is GDD = [(T_MAX + T_MIN)/2] - T_BASE where T_MAX and T_MIN are daily maximum and minimum air temperature, respectively, and T_BASE is the base temperature. Two methods of interpreting this equation for calculating GDD are: (1) if the daily mean temperature is less than the base, it is set equal to the base temperature, or (2) if T_MAX or T_MIN < T_BASE they are reset equal to T …

Predicting Red Blood Cell Transfusions In Very Low Birth Weight Infants Based On Clinical Risk Factors., David A. Paul, Stephen A. Pearlman, Kathleen H. Leef, John L. Stefano

Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical factors most predictive of red blood cell transfusion in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of VLBW infants cared for at a single level III NICU during a two year period, n = 199.

RESULTS: Overall transfusion requirement was 4.6 +/- 6.2 transfusions/infant/hospital course. Length of hospital stay, days of mechanical ventilation, requirement for dopamine support, birth weight, initial hematocrit, periventricular leukomalacia and necrotizing enterocolitis all independently correlated with number of transfusions and donors. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia and patent ductus arteriosus were associated with donor but not transfusion number.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data …

"Enhancing" The Australian-U.S. Defense Relationship: A Guide To U.S. Policy, Thomas-Durell Young Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Notwithstanding the end of U.S. basing in the Philippines, a revised defense framework with Japan, and starts and stops in Chinese-American military contacts, U.S. security relationships in the Pacific have enjoyed remarkable continuity since the end of the Cold War. The United States has promoted, thus far successfully, its role as the region s stabilizing power to justify at home and abroad a sustained Pacific rim presence and engagement. Whether this role has staying power for the coming decade is another matter. The frictions of basing in Japan and Korea, as well as the anticipated transformation in North Korea, are …

Physiology And Ecology Of Dispersal Polymorphism In Insects, Anthony J. Zera, Robert F. Denno

Anthony Zera Publications

Studies of dispersal polymorphism in insects have played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of population dynamics, life history evolution, and the physiological basis of adaptation. Comparative data on wing-dimorphic insects provide the most definitive evidence to date that habitat persistence selects for reduced dispersal capability. The increased fecundity of flightless females documents that a fitness tradeoff exists between flight capability and reproduction. However, only recently have studies of nutrient consumption and allocation provided unequivocal evidence that this fitness trade-off results from a trade-off of internal resources. Recent studies involving wing-dimorphic insects document that flight capability imposes reproductive penalties …

A Revision Of The Calicotylinae Monticelli, 1903 (Monogenea: Monocotylidae), Leslie A. Chisholm, Tom J. Hansknecht, Ian D. Whittington, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A total of 153 elasmobranchs (46 species), either freshly collected from the Gulf of Mexico, USA, and Tasmania, Australia, or museum specimens collected from various localities worldwide, were examined for calicotyline (Monocotylidae) monogeneans. Thirty-five elasmobranchs, representing 17 species, were infected with Calicotyle spp. which we identified as the following previously described species: C. asterii (Szidat, 1970) Timofeeva, 1985; C. kroyeri Diesing, 1850; C. macrocotyle Cordero, 1944; C. similis (Szidat, 1972) Timofeeva, 1985; C. splendens (Szidat, 1970) Timofeeva, 1985; C. stossichi Braun, 1899; and C. urolophi Chisholm, Beverley-Burton & Last, 1991. The Calicotylinae, which comprises the genera Calicotyle and Dictyocotyle, …

Master's Projects

The Internet has rapidly grown beyond its initial stage of development, from simple static forms, into an emerging technology that is suitable for utilization by commerce. The technology to support the increased user demand is also changing. Distributed Objects are the most recent attempt to address the complexities associated with this new paradigm.

The purpose of this report is to assess this new technology by implementing the look up” function of a three tier Trader service with CORBA as the middleware, with JavaBeans as the programming language and JDBC as back end database bridge. The results of this implementation are …

Signal Generator To Calibrate Read-Write Recording Head Testers, Jagdeep Buttar

Master's Projects

In hard disk drives, a read write recording head is an essential component. Millions of recording heads are produced each year. Testing these heads on various testers is an imposing task. Read Write channels are emulated on these testers to test the functionality of these heads. The testers must be calibrated periodically, particularly in a production environment. This project focuses on improving this calibration process by developing a new calibration technique. An improved method of calibrating Peak Detection and Synchronous Channels used in testers is designed and verified.

The signal generator designed for calibrating Peak Detection Channel was fabricated into …

Alarmist Decisions With Divergent Risk Information, W. Kip Viscusi

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Receipt of multiple sources of risk information ideally should foster sounder decisions under uncertainty. This paper’s original survey results for environmental risks suggest that the learning process is reasonable in many respects, but it does not accord with a rational Bayesian learning model. Divergent risk assessments from different sources produce extreme violations of rationality, as there is inordinate weight on the high risk assessment. This alarmist reaction holds for both government and industry information sources. This phenomenon may account for the commonly observed phenomenon of public overreaction to highly publicized risks.

Stratospheric Loading Of Sulfur From Explosive Volcanic Eruptions, Gregg J. Bluth, William I. Rose, Ian E. Sprod, Arlin J. Krueger

Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences Publications

This paper is an attempt to measure our understanding of volcano/atmosphere interactions by comparing a box model of potential volcanogenic aerosol production and removal in the stratosphere with the stratospheric aerosol optical depth over the period of 1979 to 1994. Model results and observed data are in good agreement both in magnitude and removal rates for the two largest eruptions, El Chicho´n and Pinatubo. However, the peak of stratospheric optical depth occurs about nine months after the eruptions, four times longer than the model prediction, which is driven by actual SO2 measurements. For smaller eruptions, the observed stratospheric perturbation is …
