Spectroscopy Of Charge-Coupled Devices, Lars Mündermann

Dissertations and Theses

A systematic study of persistent, or residual, images occurring in CCD imagers and a systematic study of dark current generation in CCD imagers are presented. These effects are a source of unwanted signal in frames, and should be considered where very exact, low light-level signal processing is necessary. For both studies explanatory models and statistical analysis techniques have been developed which enable the derivation of the densities and the characteristic energies. Furthermore the importance of understanding these phenomena in the context of today's low light-level imaging is discussed.

Impurity sites are found to be responsible for residual images. Photoelectrons are …

The Coming Forth Of The Book Of Mormon In The Twentieth Century, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

I hope this study, however preliminary it might appear, will provide a sound first step toward developing our self-understanding as Latter-day Saints of the history of Book of Mormon use in the twentieth century and the phenomenal increase in understanding, appreciation, and study that has taken place over the last three to four decades. This study may also offer one useful perspective for the gradually emerging history of cultural Mormonism and its antipathy to the Book of Mormon. This study is grounded in the analysis of a number of possible indicators of intensity of interest in the Book of Mormon …

Parity Nonconservation In Neutron Resonances In 238u, Bret E. Crawford, J D. Bowman, P P J. Delheij, C M. Frankle, M Iinuma, J N. Knudsen, L Y. Lowie, A Masaike, Y Matsuda, G E. Mitchell, S I. Penttila, H Postma, N R. Roberson, S J. Seestrom, E I. Sharapov, Sharon L. Stephenson, Y-F Yen, V W. Yuan

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Parity nonconservation (PNC) was studied for 24 p-wave neutron resonances in ²³⁸U from 10 to 300 eV by measuring the helicity dependence of the total neutron cross section with an improved experimental apparatus. Six resonances show statistically significant (greater than 2.9σ) parity violation. An analysis treating the PNC matrix elements as random variables yields a root-mean-square PNC matrix element M=0.67_-0.16^+0.24 meV. The corresponding weak spreading width Γ_w=(1.35_-0.64^+0.97)×10^-7 eV.

A Further Exploration Of College Student Attrition: The Predicative Validity Of The College Adjustment Scales, Christopher Mattis

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Since little research has addressed the question, the present study sought to determine if potential psychological problems, as measured by the College Adjustment Scales, predict college attrition. For Hypothesis One, 423 subjects were used to assess the predictability of the nine College Adjustment Scales. Using logistic regression, Substance Abuse problems was the only scale found to significantly predict attrition, p <.033. Hypothesis Two examined the incremental predictive validity of the College Adjustment Scales when supplemented with the College Student Inventory, a nineteen-scale instrument designed to predict college attrition. Although the College Student Inventory significantly predicted attrition, R = -.09, p < .05, the College Adjustment Scales could not significantly incrementally predict student departure. It was concluded that the lack of representativeness of the samples was the reason for the inability of the College Adjustment Scales to predict attrition. In both samples, subjects were substantially different from the larger samples from which they were derived in that they were more female, had higher ACT scores, and had higher high school GPAs.

Behavior Management Training Issues In Kentucky Classrooms, Karin Holland

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Classroom discipline is often a primary concern of teachers. Little is known, however, about the extent of teachers' knowledge, training, and skills with behavior management issues. This study was conducted to examine teachers' training with specific behavioral strategies, their personal level of proficiency in resolving these problems, and to determine if teachers consider the function of aberrant behaviors when deciding upon treatment interventions. A survey was developed to address these issues. The survey was distributed to teachers in four south-central Kentucky counties and two western Kentucky counties. Of the 350 surveys distributed, 209 were returned for a 59.7% return rate. …

The Effects Of Constant And Variable Practice On Performing A Gross Motor Skill, Leslie Snyder

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The present researcher compared and contrasted the variability of practice hypothesis (variable practice) with the specificity of learning hypothesis (constant practice) for this study. The variability of practice hypothesis specified that a person's subsequent ability to complete a novel motor task will increase by altering conditions of practice (Schmidt, 1975). The specificity of learning hypothesis, however, asserted that repetition of the same movements will increase an individual's retention rate for the movement (Adams, 1971). The researcher operationalized this debate via basketball free throw shooting. Participants were assigned to either a constant practice condition, where shots were taken from the free …

Moderation Of Personality Test Validity, Christopher Woolard

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Personality testing can be an adequate instrument for prediction of future job performance. However, the predictive ability of these tests has been only moderate at best. This researcher attempted to determine if feedback would help improve the predictive ability of personality tests. The results indicated that feedback did not moderate the relationship between the personality dimensions and job performance for all of the personality construct s except Openness to Experience. This researcher also attempted to replicate the findings of the Barrick and Mount (1993) study which found that autonomy moderated the relationship between Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and job performance. This …

Predicting Academic Success In College Using The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, Katherine Bishop

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The prediction of success in college has received a substantial amount of research interest. A variety of predictor variables have been examined including personality and demographic variables as well as scores on standardized college entrance examinations. However, few studies have included the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). In the present study, this researcher examined the ability of the WAIS-R to predict college success as measured by grade point average (GPA). The participants were 49 undergraduates, from a public university, who volunteered for intellectual assessments. It was hypothesized that the WAIS-R would predict college GPA. The prediction was expected to be …

Educational Specialist Programs In School Psychology: Trends In Training Emphasis, Shawna Kennedy

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A survey was conducted to examine current training practices of NASP accredited specialist programs. Information was gathered through a mailed survey to NASP accredited school psychology Ed.S. training programs across the United States. Of the 97 training programs to whom surveys were sent, 56 surveys were returned and 51 were considered usable (53% return rate). The survey respondents were divided into groups according to self-reported program emphasis. Thirty-one programs reported emphasizing traditional assessment (Traditional Programs), while 20 programs reported other areas of emphasis (Other Programs). An independent t-test indicated that Traditional Programs offer significantly higher amounts of training in traditional …

Neutron Resonance Spectroscopy Of 106pd, And 108pd From 20–2000 Ev, Bret E. Crawford, J D. Bowman, P P J. Delheij, T Haseyama, J N. Knudsen, L Y. Lowie, A Masaike, Y Matsuda, G E. Mitchell, S I. Penttila, H Postma, N R. Roberson, S J. Seestrom, E I. Sharapov, Sharon L. Stephenson, V W. Yuan

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Parity nonconserving asymmetries have been measured in p-wave resonances of ¹⁰⁶Pd and ¹⁰⁸Pd. The data analysis requires knowledge of the neutron resonance parameters. Transmission and capture γ-ray yields were measured for E_n=20–2000 eV with the time-of-flight method at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). A total of 28 resonances in ¹⁰⁶Pd and 32 resonances in ¹⁰⁸Pd were studied. The resonance parameters for ¹⁰⁶Pd are new for all except one resonance. In ¹⁰⁸Pd six new resonances were observed and the precision improved for many of the resonance parameters. A Bayesian analysis was …
