Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Editors' Note: As noted in previous issues of the Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations, the purpose of this Educational Research Abstract section is to present current published research on issues relevant to math and science teaching at both the K-12 and college levels. Because educational research articles are published in so many different academic journals, it is a rare public school teacher or college professor who reads all the recent published reports on a particular instructional technique or curricular advancement. Indeed, the uniqueness of various pedagogical strategies has been tacitly acknowledged by the creation of individual journals dedicated …

Combining Theory And Practice In The Teaching Of Science Institutions: A Collaborative Program Between The City University Of New York And The American Museum Of Natural History, F. Espinoza Jan 2000

Combining Theory And Practice In The Teaching Of Science Institutions: A Collaborative Program Between The City University Of New York And The American Museum Of Natural History, F. Espinoza

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The National Science Education Standards contain several mandates that share the use of alternative and creative experiences in the teaching of science at all levels. An important feature of these standards is the call for learning settings and environments different from the traditional classroom in order to enhance student interest and participation in the learning process. New York City is rich in institutions that are ideal for the implementation of effective science teaching through the use of informal resources. This article uses the American Museum of Natural History as a prime example of this.

Policy For Integrated Solid Waste Management In Malaysia, Dennis Jeyakumar Jan 2000

Policy For Integrated Solid Waste Management In Malaysia, Dennis Jeyakumar

Student Works (2000-2009)

Solid waste management problems have been gaining prominence in Malaysia due to increasing waste generation and the ineffectiveness of the existing mechanism to tackle the problem holistically. This study seeks to formulate a policy for Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) in Malaysia. This has been done by reviewing the legislative and institutional framework as well as the existing practices and trends in Malaysia. Based on this, key issues and needs of solid waste management in Malaysia have been derived. These key issues were then used as a basis to formulate policy instruments to achieve the main objective of ISWM in …

Directional Correlation In Direct And Sequential Double Ionization Of Model Atoms, Stanley L. Haan, N. Hoekema, S. Poniatowski, W. C. Liu Jan 2000

Directional Correlation In Direct And Sequential Double Ionization Of Model Atoms, Stanley L. Haan, N. Hoekema, S. Poniatowski, W. C. Liu

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

We discuss directional dependence in the time development of spatial wavefunctions, which includes jet formation, for two-electron model atoms exposed to intense laser fields. Two competing scenarios for double ionization are evident: (1) both electrons emerge simultaneously from the core region and on the same side of the nucleus, and (2) the electrons detach on opposite sides but not simultaneously. The importance of the electron-electron repulsion contribution to the competing processes is investigated for various laser intensities.

On Simplicial Commutative Algebras With Vanishing André-Quillen Homology, James M. Turner Jan 2000

On Simplicial Commutative Algebras With Vanishing André-Quillen Homology, James M. Turner

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

In this paper, we study the André-Quillen homology of simplicial commutative ℓ-algebras, ℓ a field, having certain vanishing properties. When ℓ has non-zero characteristic, we obtain an algebraic version of a theorem of J.-P. Serre and Y. Umeda that characterizes such simplicial algebras having bounded homotopy groups. We further discuss how this theorem fails in the rational case and, as an application, indicate how the algebraic Serre theorem can be used to resolve a conjecture of D. Quillen for algebras of finite type over Noetherian rings, having non-zero characteristic.

An Empirical Analysis Of Unit Trust Performance In Singapore, Joseph H. H. Chia, Yiu Kuen Tse Jan 2000

An Empirical Analysis Of Unit Trust Performance In Singapore, Joseph H. H. Chia, Yiu Kuen Tse

Research Collection School Of Economics

The Singapore government’s recent strategic plan to develop the financial sector has placed much emphasis on the fund management industry. In this paper we examine the unit trust performance in Singapore in the 90s. Our results show that fund managers in general performed poorly in security analysis and market timing. However, they performed fairly well in risk-adjusted returns and generally maintained well-diversified portfolios. We find that there is little consistency in the performance ranking of the evaluated portfolios, although there is evidence of repeat performance of some top funds. Our analysis also shows that fund managers could indeed make excess …

Recovered And Continuous Memories Of Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis, Linda Ribble Stoler

Open Access Dissertations

This study is an in-depth examination of women who reported childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Among a non-clinical sample of 26 women, ages 22 - 65, 11 reported they had always remembered CSA (continuous memories) and 15 reported they had forgotten CSA for some period of their lives (delayed memories). Participants completed a questionnaire which included demographics, abuse history, therapy history, symptom checklists, Family Functioning Scale, Dissociative Experiences Scale, and the Adult Sexual Victimization Scale, and were then interviewed. Eighty-six percent of women with delayed, and 46% with continuous, memories reported corroboration. Only one woman reported a therapist was the first …

The Relationships Of Organizational Personality Variables With Worker Socio-Communicative Orientation, Communication Apprehension, Immediacy, And Job Satisfaction., Heather Teresa Smith Jan 2000

The Relationships Of Organizational Personality Variables With Worker Socio-Communicative Orientation, Communication Apprehension, Immediacy, And Job Satisfaction., Heather Teresa Smith

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study examined the organizational personality types of "upward mobile," "ambivalent," and "indifferent" with reference to their relationships with worker sociocommunicative orientation, communication apprehension, immediacy, and job satisfaction. The study examined self-report data from the measures of organizational personality scales, job satisfaction, communication apprehension, immediacy, and assertiveness/responsiveness. The study found that each of the three personality variables have unique relationships (some linear, some non-linear) with communication apprehension, immediacy, assertiveness, responsiveness, and job satisfaction.

An Economic Analysis Of The Relationship Of Poverty And Income Inequality In Rural West Virginia., Semoa Costa Batista De Sousa Jan 2000

An Economic Analysis Of The Relationship Of Poverty And Income Inequality In Rural West Virginia., Semoa Costa Batista De Sousa

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

There have been numerous research studies on poverty, income inequality, economic growth, and the relationship between these variables at national and regional levels. This thesis focuses on poverty and income inequality, in 38 rural counties of West Virginia. The study examines the possibility of simultaneity between poverty and income inequality (Gini index) using a two-stage least square regression with cross-sectional data for 1980 and 1990. Furthermore, ordinary least square regressions are used to investigate the main determinants of poverty and income inequality. The results confirm the possibility of simultaneity between poverty and income inequality. The proportions of the population in …

Use Of Track-Etched Polycarbonate Filters In Series To Mimic The Total Human Lung Deposition In The Ultrafine And Fine Particle Range From 0.03 To 0.40 Microns., Jennifer Lynn Hornsby-Myers Jan 2000

Use Of Track-Etched Polycarbonate Filters In Series To Mimic The Total Human Lung Deposition In The Ultrafine And Fine Particle Range From 0.03 To 0.40 Microns., Jennifer Lynn Hornsby-Myers

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Three 3.0m polycarbonate track-etched filters were used in series in a 37 mm cassette and tested at 2.2 L/min using an automated filter tester to determine the filter assembly’s deposition curve as a function of particle size from 0.03 to 0.4 m. The filter assembly’s efficiency curve was compared to Stahlhofen’s resting with nose breathing and working with mouth breathing human total lung deposition curves used by the ICRP. Bias maps show that the shape of the filter assembly’s deposition curve matches the two lung deposition curves in the ultrafine range under these specific test conditions. The efficiency curve of …

Labor Law And Industrial Peace: A Comparative Analysis Of The United States, The United Kingdom, Germany, And Japan Under The Bargaining Model, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt Jan 2000

Labor Law And Industrial Peace: A Comparative Analysis Of The United States, The United Kingdom, Germany, And Japan Under The Bargaining Model, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In this Article, Professor Dau-Schmidt provides a comparative analysis of the labor laws of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan for the purposes of identifying which characteristics of a country's labor laws are likely to reduce strike incidence and intensity and promote industrial peace. To identify which characteristics of a country's law are likely to encourage industrial peace, Professor Dau-Schmidt presents game theory arguments based on his analysis of unions and collective bargaining. Dau-Schmidt then provides a simple empirical test as to the relative success of different countries' laws in advancing industrial peace by comparing data on …

A Hydrodynamic Model Of Semiconductors., Sixin Qian Jan 2000

A Hydrodynamic Model Of Semiconductors., Sixin Qian

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

We study the three dimensional simplified hydrodynamic model of semi-conductors where the equations of energy conservation are eliminated by assuming a pressure-density relation. The system is a combination of three hyperbolic equations coupled with an elliptic one. We prove the linear stability and the existence of local classical solutions to the initial boundary value problem for this system. The Neumann condition corresponds to an insulated boundary. Because a compatible condition is required in solving the Neumann BVP (Boundary Value Problem), a special iteration scheme is introduced to handle this situation. Based on the existence of the classical solutions to this …

The Effects Of Fearful Responding Of Arithmetic Performance., Derek Richard Hopko Jan 2000

The Effects Of Fearful Responding Of Arithmetic Performance., Derek Richard Hopko

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Although anxiety-related responding and skill deficits have historically been associated with performance-based problems such as high mathematics anxiety, the relative contributions of these variables to substandard performance remains poorly understood. Utilizing a 7% carbon dioxide gas mixture to induce fear, the present study was designed to determine the impact of fear-related responding to cognitive task performance. Independent variables included anxiety group, gender, and gas condition. Dependent variables included behavioral, physiological, and self-report indices. A total of 64 university undergraduate students participated in the study. High and low math anxious individuals were randomly assigned to either a carbon dioxide or control …
