Acoustic And Spectral Characteristics Of Young Children’S Fricative Productions: A Developmental Perspective, Shawn L. Nissen, Robert Allen Fox

Faculty Publications

Scientists have made great strides toward understanding the mechanisms of speech production and perception. However, the complex relationships between the acoustic structures of speech and the resulting psychological percepts have yet to be fully and adequately explained, especially in speech produced by younger children. Thus, this study examined the acoustic structure of voiceless fricatives /f, s, b/ produced by adults and typically developing children from 3 to 6 years of age in terms of multiple acoustic parameters durations, normalized amplitude, spectral slope, and spectral moments. It was found that the acoustic parameters of spectral slope and variance commonly excluded from …

The 7 May 2001 Induced Seismic Event In The Ekofisk Oil Field, North Sea, L. Ottemöller, H. H. Nielsen, K. Atakan, Jochen Braunmiller, J. Havskov

School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications

A moderate size seismic event on 7 May 2001 was strongly felt on platforms in the Ekofisk oil field, in the southern North Sea, but did not cause damage to platforms or wells. We combined near- and far-field observations to develop a consistent source model and to determine whether the event was induced. Seismic data placed the epicenter inside the Ekofisk field and suggested a shallow source depth based on spectral and moment tensor analysis. GPS data from the Ekofisk platforms displayed permanent vertical and horizontal movement due to the event. A topographic bulge in the sea bottom, revealed by …

Exploring Agricultural Census Undercounts Among Immigrant Hispanic/Latino Farmers With An Alternative Enumeration Project, Victor Garcia, Juan Marinez

Journal of Extension

This article argues the need to examine whether or not the agricultural census is locating and including Hispanic/Latino farmers, particularly recent immigrants, who are not aware of the census. We explore the possible reasons why Hispanics/Latinos may be missed. We also suggest an alternative Hispanic/Latino farmer enumeration to gather basic information that will allows us to identify Hispanic/Latino farmers and check if they were included in the 2002 agricultural census. Our plan is based on an alternative enumeration project conducted by US Census Bureau in Census 1990.

A Constitutional Court In The Absence Of A Formal Constitution? On The Ramifications Of Appointing The Israeli Supreme Court As The Only Tribunal For Judicial Review, Guy E. Carmi

Connecticut Journal of International Law

Israel does not have a formal Constitution. Nonetheless, recent developments over the last decade in the arena of Israeli constitutional law, which are widely referred to as the "Constitutional Revolution," have ushered in dramatic and fundamental change. In 1995, the set of Basic Laws, which were enacted in piecemeal fashion over the years without previously receiving much attention,' were proclaimed by the Israeli Supreme Court to have a constitutional nature. Consequently, those laws invite judicial review. 2 As Chief Justice Barak refers to them, these Basic Laws serve as a "Crippled Constitution."

The Israeli Supreme Court serves as a constitutional …

Translating The French Civil Code: Politics, Linguistics And Legislation, Olivier Cachard

Connecticut Journal of International Law

The close of 2004 gave rise to a sharp controversy about French Law, namely its Civil Law. On the one hand, the French were celebrating the bicentennial of the Civil Code, placing emphasis on its flexibility and its adaptability to new economic models.2 On the other hand, a report of the World Bank concluded that the French Legal System was deterring business, 3 the enforcement of contracts being quite difficult to manage in French Law. The French disputed the accuracy of the methods and data used. in this report, correctly assuming there were many material errors. They argued that the …

A Systematic, Reliable Approach To Play Assessment In Preschoolers, Lisa Kelly-Vance, Bridget O. Ryalls

Psychology Faculty Publications

Play assessment is gaining attention as a measure of the developing skills of young children. The procedures and methods of coding child behaviours vary considerably across researchers and practitioners. Because of this, definitive statements about the use of play assessment cannot be made without further research. The present study is an attempt to report a set of standardized procedures for play assessment along with an empirically based coding scheme (PIECES). The reliability of this system of play assessment is also investigated. High inter-observer reliability was found along with moderate test–retest correlations for both the typically developing (r = 0.48) and …

Book Ownership And Authorial Identity: Reconstructing The (Im)Personal Library Of Arthur Hugh Clough, Patrick G. Scott

Faculty Publications

Describes the different evidence that survives for the personal libraries owned by two Victorian poets, Alfred Tennyson and Arthur Hugh Clough, and discusses the ways in which such book-ownership is (and is not) usable as evidence about the author's thought and writing. This paper was originally presented at the North American Victorian Studies Association Conference, Charlottesville, VA, October 1, 2005.

An Update On Colonial Witch Bottles, Marshall Joseph Becker

Anthropology & Sociology Faculty Publications

The discovery of an 18th century "witch bottle" during controlled excavations at a colonial site in Essington, Pennsylvania in 1976 provided the first archaeological evidence for the use of these magical charms in the New World. Since that time, the author has identified five additional specimens in the northeastern United States. The geographic distribution of these artifacts reflects a widespread belief in magic in the northeastern English colonies. One recovered Pennsylvania witch bottle suggests that the use of magical charms lingered into the early 19th century.

Ritual Legitimacy And Scriptural Authority, James W. Watts

Religion - All Scholarship

In this essay, James W. Watts explains the interdependence of texts and rituals with regard to ancient religions. Specifically, he outlines patterns of practice and developments in the ritual use of texts and the texual authorization of rituals in antiquity.

Watts also makes the case that beyond the interplay of texual authority and ritual legitimacy that most ancient cultures engaged in, Judaism was unique in elevating the Torah along with its other laws and stories to special "scriptural" status.
