Poetry And Science-Symbiosis: Integrated Lessons At The Elementary Level., Lucia Ann Schroeder Jun 1997

Poetry And Science-Symbiosis: Integrated Lessons At The Elementary Level., Lucia Ann Schroeder

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine what occurs when poetry reading and writing are integrated with constructivist methods for teaching science in fifth-grade classes. The perceptions and responses of the students and their teacher during and after the lessons were primary concerns.A synthesis of the major findings from the literature review indicated that scientists and poets share curiosity, wonder, and the abilities to observe carefully and create accurate descriptions. Process approaches and emphasis on constructivist learning were teaching methods common to both areas. Positive attitudes in the classroom and sharing of similar concepts and educational goals were factors …

A Measurement Of The Michel Parameters In Leptonic Decays Of The Tau, R. Ammar, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration Jun 1997

A Measurement Of The Michel Parameters In Leptonic Decays Of The Tau, R. Ammar, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We have measured the spectral shape Michel parameters ρ and η using leptonic decays of the τ, recorded by the CLEO II detector. Assuming e-μ universality in the vectorlike couplings, we find ρeμ = 0.735 ± 0.013 ± 0.008 and ηeμ = 20.015 ± 0.061 ± 0.062, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. We also present measurements for the parameters for e and μ final states separately.

A Model For General Periodic Excitation With Random Disturbance And Its Application, Y. K. Zhou, Z. K. Hou, M. F. Dimentberg, Mohammad N. Noori Jun 1997

A Model For General Periodic Excitation With Random Disturbance And Its Application, Y. K. Zhou, Z. K. Hou, M. F. Dimentberg, Mohammad N. Noori

Office of the Dean (CENG) Scholarship

Many vibration problems involve a general periodic excitation such as those of a triangular or rectangular waveform. In practice, the periodic excitation may become disordered due to uncertainties. This paper presents a stochastic model for general periodic excitations with random disturbances which is constructed by introducing random amplitude and phase disturbances to individual terms in the Fourier series of the corresponding deterministic periodic function. Mean square convergence of the random Fourier series are discussed. Monte Carlo simulation of disordered sawtooth, triangular, and quadratic wave forms are illustrated. An application of the excitation is demonstrated by vibration analysis of a single-degree-of-freedom …

Creating Effective Employee Newsletters, Linda M. Blair Jun 1997

Creating Effective Employee Newsletters, Linda M. Blair

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose was to produce a source of information and procedures for readers to create and maintain a high quality employee newsletter. Today it is difficult for companies, both small and large, to maintain good communication between management and employees. Lack of and poor communication are major problems in the workplace. It is necessary for companies to create and maintain a timely and well written newsletter to inform, communicate, recognize and motivate employees. The primary research performed for this study included a completed questionnaire from twenty professionals who had won an award in their professional society and five other noted …

Initial Polar Mfe Observation Of Substorm Signatures In The Polar Magnetosphere, H. Kawano, G. Le, C. T. Russell, G. Rostoker, T. Mukai, Harlan E. Spence Jun 1997

Initial Polar Mfe Observation Of Substorm Signatures In The Polar Magnetosphere, H. Kawano, G. Le, C. T. Russell, G. Rostoker, T. Mukai, Harlan E. Spence

Physics & Astronomy

This paper studies substorm influences in the polar magnetosphere using data from the POLAR magnetic field experiment (MFE). The POLAR spacecraft remains in the high altitude polar magnetosphere for extended periods around apogee. There it can stay at nearly constant altitude through all phases of a substorm, which was not possible on previous missions. We report such an event on March 28, 1996. Ground magnetometers monitored substorm activity, while the POLAR spacecraft, directly over the pole at (−0.8, −0.6, 8.5) RE in GSM coordinates, observed a corresponding perturbation in the total magnetic field strength. The total magnetic field first …

First Polar And 1995-034 Observations Of The Midaltitude Cusp During A Persistent Northward Imf Condition, M. Grande, J. Fennell, S. Livi, B. Kellett, C. Perry, P. Anderson, J. Roeder, Harlan E. Spence, T. Fritz, B. Wilken

Physics & Astronomy

We present the first observations by Polar and 1995-034 of the mid-altitude cusp. On May 29, 1996, the Polar and 1995-034 spacecraft crossed into an extended cusp region. The region was characterized by intense fluxes of solar wind like ions in the energy range 1–10 keV that had angular distributions that showed evidence of flows and trapping. The ion composition data are combined with energetic proton observations from Polar and plasma observations from 1995-034 and DMSP satellites to examine the spatial and temporal extent and plasma characteristics of the cusp during a persistent northward IMF condition. The composition data is …

Physics & Astronomy

On August 27, 1996, a two-hour energetic heavy ion event (∼1 MeV) was detected at 8:25 UT at apogee (∼9 Re and an invariant latitude of ∼80°), by the Charge and Mass Magnetospheric Ion Composition Experiment onboard POLAR. The event, with a maximum spin averaged peak flux of ∼150 particles/(cm²-sr-s-MeV), showed three local peaks corresponding to three localized regions; the ion pitch angle distributions in the three regions were different from an isotropic distribution and different from each other. No comparable flux was observed by the WIND spacecraft. The appearance of lower energy He++ and O > +2 during the event …

Parametrically Resonant Surface Waves In A Rectangular Basin, Wu-Ting Tsai Jun 1997

Parametrically Resonant Surface Waves In A Rectangular Basin, Wu-Ting Tsai

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

We consider the resonant motion of a layer of fluid in a twodimensional rectangular basin forced to oscillate vertically. The equation governing the slowly-varying amplitude is derived using the multiple-scales method of perturbation analysis. The solution of the evolution equation is obtained analytitally. For steady harmonic responses, the present result compares remarkably well with available experimental measurements and is an improvement over existing third-order perturbation calculations. For unsteady (periodic) motions, the periods are computed as a function of motion amplitudes. The presence of internal resonance is discussed briefly.

Solvent-Induced Interactions Between Hydrophobic And Hydrophilic Polyatomic Sheets In Water And Hypothetical Nonpolar Water, Kenichiro Koga, Xiao Cheng Zeng, Hideki Tanaka Jun 1997

Solvent-Induced Interactions Between Hydrophobic And Hydrophilic Polyatomic Sheets In Water And Hypothetical Nonpolar Water, Kenichiro Koga, Xiao Cheng Zeng, Hideki Tanaka

Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications

Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions are two major intermolecular forces between hydrophobic nonpolar and hydrophilic polar sites of macromolecules or materials surfaces in solvents. To further understand these two interactions at the microscopic level, an idealized polyatomic model is devised, which includes hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and partially hydrophilic polyatomic planar square molecular sheets. The hydrophobic molecular sheet is composed of the Lennard-Jones particles while the hydrophilic molecular sheet consists of positive and negative charge sites. In the framework of the extended reference interaction site model integral equation theory the solvent-induced interactions (or the potential of mean forces) between two parallel molecular sheets …

A High Level Theoretical Investigation Of The Cyclic Hydrogen Fluoride Trimer, Gregory S. Tschumper, Yukio Yamaguchi, Henry F. Schaefer Jun 1997

A High Level Theoretical Investigation Of The Cyclic Hydrogen Fluoride Trimer, Gregory S. Tschumper, Yukio Yamaguchi, Henry F. Schaefer

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

A high-level ab initio theoretical investigation of the cyclic hydrogen fluoride trimer was carried out. The structures of the hydrogen fluoride monomer, dimer, and trimer were fully optimized at the coupled-cluster level of theory including single, double, and perturbatively applied connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] using three large basis sets. Geometrical parameters, dipole moments, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, and total energies are reported for each equilibrium structure. Changes in bond lengths and shifts in HF stretching frequencies relative to the monomer, as well as the dissociation energies corresponding to various fragmentation pathways, are given for the dimer, trimer, and their …
