The Cataclysmic Variable Cw 1045+525: A Secondary-Dominated Dwarf Nova?, C. Tappert, J. R. Thorstensen, W. H. Fenton, N. Bennert, L. Schmidtobreick, A. Bianchini

Physics

We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of the cataclysmic variable CW 1045+525. Both the optical spectrum and the photometric lightcurve show a strong contribution of a K5V-M0V secondary. We derive an orbital period d by measuring the radial velocities of the absorption lines of the secondary. The period and spectral type of the secondary suggest a distance of 350-700 pc. There is evidence for additional sources of line- and continuum emission, but no direct evidence of an accretion disc. We discuss several scenarios for the nature of CW 1045+525 on the basis of our results, finding a dwarf nova classification …

Synthesis And Spectroscopic Study Of 1,1 '-Bis-(2-Naphthol) Sulfide And Some Ester Derivatives, Emmanuel Enwelim Onwuachi

Theses (Pre-2016)

The refined synthesis of 1,1 '-bis-(2-naphthol) sulfide and the syntheses of the related acetate, propionate and phenoxyacetate ester derivatives are reported with IR and NMR spectroscopic analysis and proton signal assignments. The synthesis of 1,1'-bis-(2-naphthol) sulfide is found to be more effective at an ambient temperature of O°C and possibly lower, not under reflux conditions as previously reported. The spectroscopic data strongly indicate that all four compounds were synthesized. The IR spectra showed a band at 3692.63 em" for the hydroxide moiety of 1,1 '-bis-(2-naphthol) sulfide and the typical carbonyl stretching band around 1700 em" for the esters. The FT-NMR …

Community Perspectives In Higher Education Service Leaming And Volunteerism, Andrea Vernon

Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship

This study is a qualitative analysis measuring community perceptions of college student volunteers and service learners. The purpose of the study was to examine college student service learning and volunteer activities from the community perspective through data gathered from community agency personnel who work directly with college student volunteers who are serving to meet the needs of youth.

Personnel from 15 community youth service agencies in seven Montana communities were interviewed to determine (a) how agencies ensure and measure the quality and effectiveness of college student volunteer service, (b) the impacts that college student volunteers have at the youth service …

A Meta-Analysis Of Service Learning Research In Middle And High Schools, Amy E. White

Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship

This study examines the relationship between service learning innovations and improved academics, self-concept, and social or personal growth in middle and high school students. Meta-Analysis is employed to arrive at effect-size estimates for each construct. A historical overview of service learning is presented and a detailed description of the study selection process is provided. The data revealed a moderate relationship between service learning participation and academics, self-concept and social or personal growth in middle and high school students. The findings are presented, and some appropriate conclusions are drawn. A discussion of the implications of these findings and recommendations for future …

Top Female Hospital Executives In Las Vegas, Nevada: An In Depth Case Study, Caroline R. Copeland

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

This paper will review the findings of in depth interviews with the four top female executives for the acute care hospitals in Las Vegas, Nevada, with regards to the ‘Glass Ceiling’ phenomenon, stereotyping and gender role behaviors, and how these elements have affected their careers. Out of seventeen (17) local senior executive positions, women hold four of these positions, or twenty-three percent (23.5%), compared to six percent (6%) nationally. The healthcare system changes were also a consideration for theses female executives, and how these changes have influenced their careers.

Is Humour Worth A Try In The Language Classroom, Pramarn Subphadoongchone

PASAA

For traditional language teaching, activities providing students with various learning routines tend to dominate the class. Though the primary goal of teaching is to have students experience the use of language, it is often detrimental if the class overemphasizes rote learning, especially for lower motivated students. Most language classes suffer from this mode of teaching as it creates tension in class and also a great deal of boredom. This may lead to negative feelings about language learning and in turn hinder learning.

Tales To Tell, Chatraporn Lertvatrakan

PASAA

Preparing a lesson plan on "narration" cannot be considered simple since it involves various aspects of language such as tenses, logical thinking, chronology, clause connectors (time markers), or even plots, characters, climaxes etc. How do teachers prepare their students to be good story tellers or writers? Most of the time, we value the product more than the process which generates the product. However, students need some incentive. Giving students tales or stories to read can help them understand the elements of good narrative that will eventually enhance their ability in both narrative writing and story telling. This is because common …

The Use Of Corpora And Concordancing In Translation, Prima Millikamas

PASAA

This paper examines the roles, both theoretical and applied, which corpora1 play in the field of translation. The main emphasis of the paper is on the use of corpora evidence in applied translation studies, which include the teaching of translation in translator training and in foreign language learning. The paper also looks at the use of corpora as valuable resources for translators. Different types of corpora and their applications are reviewed in detail. In the end, the paper discusses the key success factors of corpus-driven translation.

The Genre Of Tourist Leaflets, Ania Saorin Iborra, Miguel F. Ruiz Garrido

PASAA

There have been many studies of Genre Analysis justifying the pedagogical implications of the Discourse Analysis system in the ESP classroom. Most of them have focused on research articles, medical texts, legislative documents and business correspondence, but little has been done about tourist texts. Based on the communicative purpose that several authors (Swales, 1990; Bhatia, 1993; Andersen, 1998) take as an essential criterion for defining a genre, we have selected 12 tourist leaflets to analyse their move structure. We have observed whether the stages of each text present a common order and content related to some specific intention for the …

The Church In The Postmarriage Society, Shawn P. Mcconaughey

Doctor of Ministry

Pastors hear the same story too many times. The faces are different, and the circumstances have new twists, but the story of another marriage breaking apart is too familiar. The consequences are always the same, a ripping and tearing apart of a family. There are wounded hearts, crushed self-esteem, and plenty of blame to go around. The frustration is that those people breaking up are Christians. Often they are a part of the church, and in many cases the church or their faith didn't seem to be a part of the equation for making a decision to divorce. Many do …
