The Effects Of Rotating Schedules And Weekly Tutoring Groups On The Measured Amounts Of Burnout Experienced By Teachers Who Bedside Tutor Students With Low Response Levels, Cara Davis Tomasco

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine if levels of burnout experienced by seven teachers who bedside tutor medically fragile students with low response levels was reduced when two interventions were implemented over an eight week period. Intervention One was rotating half-hour tutoring schedules. Intervention Two was weekly one hour tutoring groups.

The Maslach Burnout Inventory, Third Edition, a self-administered inventory, used to measure occupational stress and burnout, was implemented to gain baseline scores, and scores after Interventions One and Two. The scores were categorized under the subscales Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment.

Results showed a decrease in …

Radiometric Cross-Calibration Of The Landsat-7 Etm+ And Landsat-5 Tm Sensors Based On Tandem Data Sets, P.M. Teillet, J. L. Barker, B. L. Markham, R. R. Irish, G. Fedosejevs, J.C. Storey

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

Early in its mission, the Landsat-7 spacecraft was temporarily placed in a ‘‘tandem’’ orbit very close to that of the Landsat-5 spacecraft in order to facilitate the establishment of sensor calibration continuity between the Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) sensors. The key period for the tandem configuration was June 1–4, 1999, during which hundreds of nearly coincident matching scenes were recorded by both the Landsat-7 ETM+ and, in cooperation with Space Imaging/EOSAT and international ground stations, the Landsat-5 TM as well. The paper presents a methodology for radiometric cross-calibration of the solar reflective spectral …

Design And Analysis For Melt Casting Metallic Fuel Pins Incorporating Volatile Actinides, Yitung Chen, Darrell Pepper, Randy Clarksean

Fuels Campaign (TRP)

UNLV investigators will evaluate and select a process for the melt casting of metallic fuel pins that contain volatile actinides. This work will be performed with the guidance of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) engineers to insure that their knowledge and experience benefits the project. The research to be conducted during year one will center on selecting, evaluating, and modeling potential alternatives to the traditional injection casting process used at ANL. Processing conditions will be analyzed, basic models utilized, and detailed heat and mass transfer models will be developed to analyze the most promising processes. The goal of the first year …

A Study Of The Effects Of First Year Implementation Of The Everyday Mathematics Program In A Second Grade Classroom, Johanna Vicchairelli

Theses and Dissertations

The effects of the first year of the Everyday Mathematics Program for a group of 21 second graders was evaluated through a pre and post-test study during the 2000-2001 school year. The students in the study had not experienced the program in kindergarten and grade one. Math achievement was evaluated using the individually administered KeyMath Diagnostic Inventory of Essential Math Skills. Scores reflected progress in the areas of Basic Concepts, Operations and Applications. Student perceptions about math were measured using an Interest Inventory fall/spring. In addition, teacher perceptions and parent reflections were gathered to assess adaptability reactions. Standard scores, scaled …

Production Of Χ C1 And Χ C2 In Pp̅ Collisions At √S= 1.8 Tev, T. Affolder, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We have measured the ratio of prompt production rates of the charmonium states χ _c1 and χ _c2 in 110 pb^-1 of pp̅ collisions at √s= 1.8 TeV. The photon from their decay into J/ψγ is reconstructed through conversion into e⁺e^- pairs. The energy resolution this technique provides makes the resolution of the two states possible. We find the ratio of production cross sections (σ _{χ c2}/ σ _{χ c1}=0.96 ± 0.27(stat) ± 0.11(syst) for events with p_T(J/ψ)> 4.0 GeV/c, |η(J/ψ)|, 0.6, and p_{T …}

The Vacuum Excitation And Squeezing Properties Of Two Quantum Oscillators With Delta-Kicked Interactions, J Y. Ji, David Peak

All Physics Faculty Publications

The vacuum excitation and squeezing of two harmonic oscillators with delta-kicked interactions for four types of elementary coupling are studied. The exact quantum motion for the Heisenberg operators and the explicit form of squeezing operators are found. The variances are calculated to study the squeezing properties for position, momentum and generalized quadrature operators.

Energy Gaps In “Metallic” Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, Min Ouyang, Jin-Lin Huang, Chin Li Cheung, Charles Lieber

Barry Chin Li Cheung Publications

Metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes have been proposed to be good one-dimensional conductors. However, the finite curvature of the graphene sheet that forms the nanotubes and the broken symmetry due to the local environment may modify their electronic properties. We used low-temperature atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy to investigate zigzag and armchair nanotubes, both thought to be metallic. “Metallic” zigzag nanotubes were found to have energy gaps with magnitudes that depend inversely on the square of the tube radius, whereas isolated armchair tubes do not have energy gaps. Additionally, armchair nanotubes packed in bundles have pseudogaps, which exhibit an inverse dependence …

Cognitive And Physiological Processes Underlying Written Disclosure, Leila Setork '01

Honors Projects

The aim of this research was to examine the underlying cognitive processes as well as the physiological outcomes of disclosing traumatic events. Epstein (1973, 1991, 1994, 1998) has argued the existence of two fundamental modes of cognitive processing: a rational mode that involves higher brain functioning and is reason-oriented, and an experiential mode that involves lower brain functioning and is pleasure-pain oriented. We examined the hypothesis that fact-based disclosure invokes rational processing while emotion-based disclosure invokes experiential processing by examining participants' physiological reactivity during as well as their behavior in a decision-making task following written disclosure. Based on previous findings …

The Effects Of Music On The Task Persistence Of Multiple Disabled Children In A Self-Contained Classroom, Lois Lapierre Lang

Theses and Dissertations

This study examined the effects of background Mozart music on the task persistence of multiple disabled children in a self-contained classroom.

The subject sample included five children ages five to nine with multiple disabilities including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, and moderate cognitive delays.

The procedure used an A-B-A research design. Baseline data was collected for five consecutive days during morning arrival and individual seat work. This was followed by an intervention of playing background Mozart music during these two time periods for ten consecutive days. Baseline data was again collected for five days. A paired t …
