A Search For Common Ground: Value Preferences Of Lay And Religious Teachers In Roman Catholic Secondary Schools, Candace H. Lacey

Journal of Catholic Education

This study examined the value preferences of full-time lay and religious faculty members in Roman Catholic secondary schools in one archdiocese. Using The Study of Values (Allport, Vernon, & Lindzey, 1960), two main research questions were addressed: What relative importance do teachers place on the six identified values? And what differences exist between the value preferences of religious and lay teachers? Findings indicated that both religious and lay teachers considered the religious value preference most important, while the economic value was the least preferred orientation. The significant difference found between groups for the religious valued preference is discussed in terms …

CAO Creation Pre-1999

At the Fall meeting in 1998, Mr. James Wolfensohn provided a draft proposed Terms of Reference for the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman. The Board of Directors and the NGOs decided that if the proposed CAO could be made more independent and include compliance, they would not pursue the Panel concept. The Archive includes the Initial CAO ToR (Sept. 24, 1998), the Final ToR sent to applicants (Oct. 1998), the Cover Letter to the Search Committee (Dec. 1, 1998), and Talking Points about the CAO position (Sept. 1998).

Effects Of An Anterior Ankle-Foot Orthosis On Hemiplegic Gait, Chiung-Ling Chen, Kwok-Tak Yeung, Shin-Han Wu, Ping-Yen Chiang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are frequently prescribed for hemiplegia to correct the ankle joint, provide mediolateral stability and improve ambulatory safety.Metal orthoses have gradually been replaced by plastic AFOs because metal orthoses are heavy and have a poor cosmetic appearance. Conventional plastic AFOs are designed in posterior leaf type and fabricated by a lamination or vacuum-forming technique over a positive plaster model of the limb. It takes time to fabricate a plastic AFO, and the effect of correcting for inversion of a hemiplegic foot is not obvious. Wu designed a low-temperature anterior direct molding AFO called an anterior AFO. It is …

Truck Route Access Evaluation: Kenmor Stone And Ruth Brothers Quany, Olive Hill, Site #2620, Joel Weber, Kenneth R. Agent, Brian Aldridge, Lisa Aultman-Hall, David Cain, Nicole Lefever, Nick Stamatiadis

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This is a study undertaken on behalf of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). There are two main objectives of the Freight Movement and Intermodal Access in Kentucky Study (SPR 98-189): evaluation of the access for trucks between intermodal or other truck generating sites and the National Highway System (NHS); and furthering the understanding of freight commodity flows throughout the state. This report summarizes the access evaluation for Kenmor Stone and Ruth Brothers Quarry located in Carter county in the FIVCO Area Development District (ADD) and KYTC Highway District #9. The location of the sites is shown in Figure 1. Work …

Comparison Of The Sfi Peculiar Velocities With The Iras 1.2-Jy Gravity Field, L. N. Da Costa, A. Nusser, W. Freudling, R. Giovanelli, M. P. Haynes, J J. Salzer, G. Wegner

Dartmouth Scholarship

We present a comparison between the peculiar velocity fields measured from a recently completed I-band Tully-Fisher survey of field spirals (SFI) and that derived from the IRAS 1.2-Jy redshift survey galaxy distribution. The analysis is based on the expansion of these data in redshift space using smooth orthonormal functions, and is performed using low- and high-resolution expansions, with an effective smoothing scale which increases almost linearly with redshift. The effective smoothing scales at 3000 km s⁻¹ are 1500 and 1000 km s⁻¹ for the low- and high-resolution filters. The agreement between the high- and low-resolution SFI velocity …

A Decision Theoretic Approach For Interface Agent Development, Scott M. Brown

Theses and Dissertations

The complexity of current software applications is overwhelming users. The need exists for intelligent interface agents to address the problem of increasing taskload that is overwhelming the human user. Interface agents could help alleviate user taskload by extracting and analyzing relevant information, and providing information abstractions of that information, and providing timely, beneficial assistance to users. These agents could communicate with the user through the existing user interface and also adapt to user needs and behaviors. Central to providing assistance to a user is the issue of correctly determining the user's intent. This dissertation presents an effective, efficient, and extensible …

The Occurrence Of Learned Helplessness In Survivors Of Sudden Death Versus Survivors Of Non Sudden Death, Jennifer Doyce Wyatt

Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of learned helplessness in survivors of sudden death versus survivors of non sudden death. Forty-six participants were volunteers from grief support groups. Participants were classified as survivors of sudden death or survivors of non sudden death. Sudden death was defined as death in which the re was no previous warning, such as an accident. Non sudden death was defined as death in which there was diagnosis or previous warning, such as cancer. Learned Helplessness was measured by the Learned Helplessness Scale. it was hypothesized that there will be a greater …

Radial Distribution Of Electron Spectra From High-Energy Ions, Francis A. Cucinotta, Robert Katz, John W. Wilson

Robert Katz Publications

The average track model describes the response of physical and biological systems using radial dose distribution as the key physical descriptor. We report on an extension of this model to describe the average distribution of electron spectra as a function of radial distance from an ion. We present calculations of these spectra for ions of identical linear energy transfer (LET), but dissimilar charge and velocity to evaluate the differences in electron spectra from these ions. To illustrate the usefulness of the radial electron spectra for describing effects that are not described by electron dose, we consider the evaluation of the …

Measurement Of The Branching Ratios For The Decays Of DS+ To Ηπ+, Η′Π+, Ηρ+, And Η′Ρ+, C. P. Jessop, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

Using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 3.9 fb^-1 collected in e⁺e^- annihilation with the CLEO-II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured the branching ratios for the decay modes D_s⁺ → (η, η′)π⁺ and D_s⁺ → (η, η′)ρ⁺ relative to D_s⁺ → φπ⁺. These decay modes are among the most common hadronic decays of the D_s⁺, and can be related by factorization to the semileptonic decays D_s⁺ → (η, η′)ℓ⁺ν₁ . …

Imaging Derivative Spectroscopy For Vegetation Dysfunction Assessments, Charles R. Bostater

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

The practical application of current airborne and future satellite or space station based high spectral resolution (hyperspectral) imagery to vegetative canopies (sparse or dense) and resulting derived bio-physical variables will depend upon our ability to rapidly apply scientifically based algorithms. Key to these rapid assessments is the selection ofthe best or optimal channels or bands for detection of plant stress or dysfunction. Previous work '2,3,4,5 has demonstrated the potential of utilizing high spectral resolution optical signatures for detecting plant stress related to the vegetation's moisture within the leaf structure. Future algorithms and techniques need to discriminate plant species as well …

Feeding Preferences Of A Generalist Salt-Marsh Crab: Relative Importance Of Multiple Plant Traits, Steven C. Pennings, Thomas H. Carefoot, Erin L. Siska, Margo E. Chase, Teresa A. Page

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Few studies have evaluated the relative importance of multiple plant traits to herbivore diet choice, especially with an experimental approach. Moreover, although circumstantial evidence points to plant toughness and silica content as important deter- minents of diet choice, few studies have experimentally demonstrated that these factors actually deter feeding by herbivores. We examined feeding preferences of a generalist salt- marsh crab, Armases cinereum, for all the common angiosperms in its habitat. We took an experimental approach to evaluating the importance of toughness, secondary chemistry, silica, salt, and protein in determining feeding preferences. Consumption of plants by Armases in two experiments …
