Examiner Errors In Scoring The Wisc-Iii Vocabulary, Comprehension, And Similarities Subtests, Ryan L. Neitzel

Masters Theses

Examiner errors when scoring the WISC-III Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Similarities subtests were examined. Twenty-one graduate students enrolled in school psychology training programs and twenty-three certified school psychologist practitioners participated in scoring a constructed record form containing both standard responses (items clearly accounted for in the WISC-III Manual) and ambiguous responses (items not specifically accounted for in the WISC-III Manual). Descriptive Statistics demonstrated that graduate students and practitioners made errors on all subtests and item types. However, the Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Similarities ambiguous responses contained the most errors. Furthermore, Analysis of Variance demonstrated that for each subtest, ambiguous responses …

Infinity And The Logic Of Non-Dualism, Joseph A. Bracken

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Whether ultimate reality is to be conceived as a personal God or an impersonal principle somehow at work in the world is an issue which tends to divide major world religions into opposing camps. Furthermore, even within a given religion philosophers and theologians may differ on how God or Ultimate Reality is to be conceived. Within Vedantic Hinduism, for example, Sankara and Ramanuja are clearly in opposition on this point even though they share the same basic world view in so many other respects. Likewise, Christian philosophers and theologians have through centuries disagreed over this issue. At least one of …

On The Differential Prime Radical Of A Differential Ring, Djavvat Khadjiev, Fethi̇ Çallialp

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we have obtained the following results for a differential ring (associative or nonassociative): (1) For a differential ring ({\cal D}-ring) we introduce definitions of a {\cal D}-prime {\cal D}-ideal, {\cal D}-semiprime {\cal D}-ideal and a strongly {\cal D}-nilpotent element. We define the {\cal D}-prime radical as the intersection of all {\cal D}-prime {\cal D}-ideals. For any {\cal D}-ring the {\cal D}-prime radical, the intersection of all {\cal D}-semiprime {\cal D}-semiprime {\cal D}-ideals and the set of all strongly {\cal D}-nilpotent elements are equal. (2) For a {\cal D}-ring we introduce a definition of an s-nilpotent {\cal D}-ideal. …

Normal Subgroups Of Hecke Groups On Sphere And, İsmai̇l Naci̇ Cangül, Osman Bi̇zi̇m

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We use regular map theory to obtain all normal subgroups of Hecke groups of genus 0 and 1. The existence of a regular map corresponding uniquely to every normal subgroup of Hecke groups H(\lambda_q) is a result of Jones and Singerman, and it is frequently used here to obtain normal subgroups. It is found that when q is even, H(\lambda_q) has infinitely many normal subgroups on the sphere, while for odd q, this number is finite. The total number of normal subgroups of H(\lambda_q) on a torus is found to be either 0 or infinite. The latter case appears iff …

Derivation Of Separable Amplitude Equations By Multiple Scales Method, Mehmet Naci̇ Özer, Dursun Eser

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The method of multiple scales is used to derive separable nonlinear Schrödinger equations as amplitude equation from three component 2D nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation. We further discuss the integrability of the derived separable amplitude equations and reduce them into finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Finally we give first integrals for the reduced systems.

Direct Sums And The Schur Property, Betül Tanbay

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

It is a known fact that $\ell^1$, the dual space of the null sequences $c_0$, has the Schur property, that is, weakly convergent sequences in $\ell^1$ are norm convergent. In this paper, we prove that if $(X_{\alpha})_{\alpha\in I}$ are Banach spaces and $X=(\oplus_{\alpha\in I}X_{\alpha})_1$ their $l_1$-sum, then the space $X$ has the Schur property iff each factor $X_{\alpha}$ has it.

Nineteenth-Century American Housekeeping Books : Women's Workplace Manuals Historical Research In Technical Writing, Melanie C. Woods

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This thesis analyzes three American housekeeping books—Lydia Maria Child's The American Frugal Housewife, Catherine Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe's The American Woman's Home, and Helen Campbell Stuart's The Easiest Way in Housekeeping and Cooking—as historical examples of technical writing. The study follows current recommendations for historical research in the field, namely, to analyze technical writing texts in consideration of their historical context. This involves determining what constituted technical writing in the nineteenth century; considering the publishing context of the study; and applying this definition to analyze three housekeeping books as technical manuals. These texts exemplify technical writing …

Adding Zest To Opac Instruction: Humor And The Unexpected, Bonnie Petry

Library Faculty Publications & Presentations

This article evolved from " Getting Students to NOTIS, "

a presentation that the author gave at the 1995 Chicago NOTIS Users

Group Meeting (NUGM) conference. Humor is a desirable element of

all types of instruction, particularly bibliographic instruction. A good

method for injecting some humor into bibliographic instruction is

introducing whimsical catalog entries. The author identifies five types

of bibIiographic records useful for this approach, provides strategies for

locating them, and suggests ways to incorporate them into a class.

Contaminated Communities: A Video Documentary Of The Alberton, Montana Mixed-Chemical Spill And An Analysis Of How Its Effects On Toxics Victims Fits Into A Larger Contamination Framework From A Political Ecology Perspective, Lisa A. Mosca

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

The small rural mountain town of Alberton, MT located 32 miles west of Missoula, MT was the 1996 site of the largest contamination event in railroad history involving a mixture of chemicals. On April 11, 1996 a Montana Rail Link train derailed just west of the town of Alberton, leaking 130,000 pounds of chlorine gas, 17,000 of potassium cresylate (spent oil refinery waste), and 85 dry bulk pounds of sodium chlorate into the Alberton environment. Approximately 1000 people were evacuated from their homes, many for the seventeen day evacuation period that followed. The video documentary project that I embarked on …

Officers And Directors Compensation In American Law, Laurence Melanie Rouzioux

LLM Theses and Essays

Since the 1980s, executive compensation of directors and officers in U.S. Corporations have increased sharply. This paper reflects upon the public criticism of corporations that paid exorbitant amounts as salary and other benefits to their directors and officers. This paper focuses on the laws of corporations in Delaware as they relate to directors and officers’ compensation. The author examines different concepts such as the doctrine of waste that creates a duty that a corporation cannot give away or waste its assets. The author concludes that executive compensation packages should mirror Delaware corporation laws while remaining reasonable flexible to account for …

On The Structure Of Graphs With Few P4s, Luitpold Babel, Stephan Olariu

Computer Science Faculty Publications

We present new classes of graphs for which the isomorphism problem can be solved in polynomial time. These graphs are characterized by containing — in some local sense — only a small number of induced paths of length three. As it turns out, every such graph has a unique tree representation: the internal nodes correspond to three types of graph operations, while the leaves are basic graphs with a simple structure. The paper extends and generalizes known results about cographs, P₄-reducible graphs, and P₄-sparse graphs.
