The Effect Of Mechanical Vibration On Acute Power Output In The Bench Press, Brach John Poston Jan 2002

The Effect Of Mechanical Vibration On Acute Power Output In The Bench Press, Brach John Poston

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mechanical vibration on acute power output in the bench press. A total of 10 male subjects performed 3 sets of 3 reps of bench presses using a load equal to 70% one repetition maximum (1RM) on two occasions separated by 3 days. One occasion served as the experimental (vibration) condition while the other occasion served as the control (non-vibration) condition. The conditions differed due to a 30 second vibration stimulation period between bench press sets 2 and 3 in the experimental condition. The control condition incorporated a 30 second …

A Comparative Study Of The Angoff And Nedelsky Methods: Implications For Validity, Michael J. Subkoviak, Michael T. Kane, Patrick H. Duncan Jan 2002

A Comparative Study Of The Angoff And Nedelsky Methods: Implications For Validity, Michael J. Subkoviak, Michael T. Kane, Patrick H. Duncan

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The Angoff and Nedelsky methods are two well-known procedures for setting passing scores on tests. Previous comparative studies indicate that the Nedelsky method tends to consistently set the lowest passing score relative to the Angoff and other methods. However, it cannot be concluded that the lower Nedelsky estimates are less accurate, because previous studies have not included a criterion of the "correct" passing score against which Nedelsky and other passing scores could be validated. The present paper describes an experiment in which criterion measures of the "correct" passing scores were generated and were compared for accuracy to Angoff and Nedelsky …


Collegiate Connection: A Program To Encourage The Success Of Student Participation In High School/University Dual Enrollment, Beverly Parke, Joe Nichols, Ann Souligny Brown Jan 2002

Collegiate Connection: A Program To Encourage The Success Of Student Participation In High School/University Dual Enrollment, Beverly Parke, Joe Nichols, Ann Souligny Brown

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This project is a comparative exploration of academic success rates for high school students enrolled in a high school/university dual enrollment program. Four-hundred-eighty-four high school student grades in university courses were compared to grades of the general university population and university freshmen (n = 4,552) in specific courses. In several specific courses, the earned grades of high school students participating in the program were found to be significantly greater than the grades of university freshmen in matching courses. The Collegiate Connection dual enrollment program is explained in detail and suggestions for additional future research are also included.

The Jew In The Bath: Imperiled Imagination In Woolf's The Years, Maren Linett Jan 2002

The Jew In The Bath: Imperiled Imagination In Woolf's The Years, Maren Linett

Department of English Faculty Publications

Many of the earliest critical discussions of Virginia Woolf suppressed her antifascist politics and polemical feminism, charging her with elitism and a fondness for the ivory tower. In an effort to counter such a limited portrait, much “second-wave” feminist discourse since the mid-1970s has, conversely, celebrated Woolf’s progressive political views without spending sufficient energy interrogating their lacunae. In this essay I hope to join current efforts toward more nuanced inquiry into Woolf’s often conflicting and sometimes troubling political positions.1 In particular, this essay offers a corrective to a lingering critical reluctance to investigate Woolf’s antisemitism.2 Such reluctance may result in …

Development Of China’S Legal System Will Strengthen Its Mediation Programs, Deborah Chow Jan 2002

Development Of China’S Legal System Will Strengthen Its Mediation Programs, Deborah Chow

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

China’s mediation system would improve in overall fairness and effectiveness, if it developed a more just and predictable legal system. This system should be one in which its citizens and foreign businesses could confidently pursue enforcement of their rights under various Chinese laws, international norms, and international treaties. This paper will examine: (1) the roots of China’s mediation program, including discussions about the strong Confucian, Maoist, and legal influences; (2) China’s modern mediation systems; (3) weaknesses of the current mediation system; (4) the benefits for mediation through the development of China’s legal system; and (5) possible methods to aid the …


Threats, Free Speech, And The Jurisprudence Of The Federal Criminal Law, G. Robert Blakey, Brian J. Murray Jan 2002

Threats, Free Speech, And The Jurisprudence Of The Federal Criminal Law, G. Robert Blakey, Brian J. Murray

Journal Articles

In these materials, we set out a road map for the task of reforming the jurisprudence of threats and an articulation of its rationale under the First Amendment. In addition, we examine the basic jurisprudence of the federal criminal law, in particular, its traditional roots in notions of individual responsibility based on personal conduct and state of mind. In Part I, we analyze the district court and the Ninth Circuit opinions in the American Coalition litigation. In Part II, we trace the traditional theory and practice of free speech under the First Amendment, rooted in the history and various rationales …


The Christian Reformed Church Periodical Index: A Local Solution To Indexing Periodicals, Greg Sennema Jan 2002

The Christian Reformed Church Periodical Index: A Local Solution To Indexing Periodicals, Greg Sennema

Library Publications

This article describes the creation of a web-based database that indexes less well-known periodical titles of importance to scholars in the Christian Reformed Church, and generally not covered by other indexing services. The author explains how the data from the index, originally stored in a card catalog, was moved online to a text-based system, and eventually into its present form in a web-based system. Highlighting some of the challenges that were overcome in creating this resource, brief details are provided on how the data is stored and retrieved in the web environment, on how the data are searched and presented …


Third-Party Voting In Gubernatorial Elections: A Study Of Angus King Of Maine And Jesse Ventura Of Minnesota, Howard J. Gold Jan 2002

Third-Party Voting In Gubernatorial Elections: A Study Of Angus King Of Maine And Jesse Ventura Of Minnesota, Howard J. Gold

Government: Faculty Publications

This article analyzes the election of gubernatorial candidates Angus King of Maine (1994 and 1998) and Jesse Ventura of Minnesota (1998) in an attempt to determine the factors that produced these third-party victories. Previous studies point to a "culture of independence" explanation for third-party success. This approach focuses on attributes of the electorate, such as anti-partisan sentiment, previous support for a third-party candidate, economic discontent, issue concerns, and youth. Using VNS exit poll data and a multinomial logit model, I find that only two factors-anti-partisan sentiment and prior support for a third-party candidate-are powerful explanations for the success of both …
