Towards An Assessment Of Reading Volunteer Performance : Four Case Studies Of Monterey County Reads Reading Volunteers, Lucas Salazar Jan 2004

Towards An Assessment Of Reading Volunteer Performance : Four Case Studies Of Monterey County Reads Reading Volunteers, Lucas Salazar

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

This paper describes the performance of Monterey County Reads (MCR) reading volunteers. In conjunction with the Panetta Institute for Public Policy and the AmeriCorps*VISTA program, the MCR program recruits, trains, and places volunteers into schools to read with children one-to-one from grades K-3. The program provides a mandatory two-hour training, which provides instruction on the basics of reading with a child and presents the expectations of the program. I developed assessment tools predicated on MCR training methods to measure the extent to which reading volunteers met MCR expectations, thereby providing an indication of the effectiveness of training. I recruited four …


Spatial Distribution Of Coast And Dune Buckwheat (Eriogonum Latifolium & E. Parvifolium) In A Restoration Site On The Fort Ord Dunes Of California, Heather Wallingford Jan 2004

Spatial Distribution Of Coast And Dune Buckwheat (Eriogonum Latifolium & E. Parvifolium) In A Restoration Site On The Fort Ord Dunes Of California, Heather Wallingford

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Coast and dune buckwheat (Eriogonum parvifolium & E. latifolium) are native plants to the Fort Ord sand dunes which are essential for the survivorship of the federally-endangered Smith's blue butterfly (Euphilotes enoptes smithi). Buckwheat was put at risk during the restoration process because the land was stripped of its vegetation in order to remove the lead left behind from bullet shells when the land was used as rifle ranges by the military in the past. The Fort Ord dunes of California have undergone immense restoration treatments in order to increase the abundance of native plants, like coast and dune buckwheat. …

Monterey County Volunteer Agencies, Alice Mitchell Jan 2004

Monterey County Volunteer Agencies, Alice Mitchell

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

The Federal Probation office was faced with a great problem dealing with offenders. As part of an offender's terms of probation they must complete community service hours. Offenders are required to complete hours ranging from 100-400 hours. The Federal Probation office was lacking a set of resources available for offenders to volunteer. I created an electronic database, which consisted of Monterey County volunteer agencies willing to accept federal offenders. This database helps address the agency's problem of helping offenders complete all terms of probation.


How We Help Our Children : Mexican Immigrant Parents Of High-Achieving Students, Katharine Neumann Richman Jan 2004

How We Help Our Children : Mexican Immigrant Parents Of High-Achieving Students, Katharine Neumann Richman

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

The immigrant parents of high-achieving Mexican American students have several characteristics in common. Although their own formal education is often limited, they place great importance on education. They communicate with their children. They are oriented towards the future. They have strong moral values and impart them to their children. They see their own sacrifices as worthwhile if they enable their children to have a better future. These parents through their own intelligence and hard work have managed to transcend difficult circumstances and help their children to achieve their dreams.

The Political-Economic Dimension Of Pensions: The Case Of Japan, Gene Park Jan 2004

The Political-Economic Dimension Of Pensions: The Case Of Japan, Gene Park

Political Science and International Relations Faculty Works

This article examines how pensions are interwoven with the public and private financial system in Japan and the consequences for pension reform. A growing literature focuses on the multifaceted ways in which pensions are interwoven with the larger political economy. This study builds on this literature and finds that (a) public and private pensions have been integrated deeply into Japan’s system of developmental finance, (b) this integration has created new economic and political problems as governments have attempted to shift away from its developmental model through deregulation, liberalization, and administrative reform, and (c) because pension reform is intimately linked with …


Estrogen And Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity, Michael R. Foy, Michael Baudry, Richard Thompson Jan 2004

Estrogen And Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity, Michael R. Foy, Michael Baudry, Richard Thompson

Psychological Science Faculty Works

During the past several years, there has been increasing interest in the effects of estrogen on neural function. This enthusiasm is driven, in part, by the results of early clinical studies suggesting that estrogen therapy given after menopause may prevent, or at least delay, the onset of Alzheimer's disease in older women. However, later clinical trials of women with probable Alzheimer's disease had contrary results. Much of the current research related to estrogen and brain function is focused in two directions. One involves clinical studies that examine the potential of estrogen in protecting against cognitive decline during normal aging and …


Lean Product Development Flow, Bohdan W. Oppenheim Jan 2004

Lean Product Development Flow, Bohdan W. Oppenheim

Systems Engineering Faculty Works

A general holistic framework, also called a process—named “Lean Product Development Flow (LPDF)”—for organizing the engineering work of Product Development (PD), has been proposed as a contribution to the emerging field of Lean Systems Engineering. The framework is based on Lean Principles, with emphasis on PD value-pulling workflow pulsed by takt periods. The value is defined as (1) mission assurance/product quality, (the traditional goals of Systems Engineering) and (2) reduced program cost and schedule achieved by a radical reduction of waste. LPDF is recommended for smaller design programs based on a high degree of legacy knowledge, with technologies mature enough …

The Growth Of Valuations On Rational Function Fields In Two Variables, Edward Mosteig, Moss Sweedler Jan 2004

The Growth Of Valuations On Rational Function Fields In Two Variables, Edward Mosteig, Moss Sweedler

Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works

Given a valuation on the function field k( x; y), we examine the set of images of nonzero elements of the underlying polynomial ring k[ x; y] under this valuation. For an arbitrary field k, a Noetherian power series is a map z : Q --> k that has Noetherian (i.e., reverse well-ordered) support. Each Noetherian power series induces a natural valuation on k( x; y). Although the value groups corresponding to such valuations are well-understood, the restrictions of the valuations to underlying polynomial rings have yet to be characterized. Let Lambda(n) denote the images under the valuation v of …
