The Concept And Use Of Beauty Within The Church, Patrick Greene

Senior Honors Projects

An empty room with a table at one end and some chairs facing this table hardly sounds like a church. And if a room similar to this were to be used for a church there would doubtless be decorations brought in, altar cloths, candles and a cross or crucifix. It seems to be that the employment of beauty within church services may be more than just a common element of a church service. Through my senior project I plan to come to a better understanding of how and why beauty is used within church services. I plan on looking at …

A Comparison Of The Imapct Of Environmental Stressors On Blood Parameters Of Captive Harbor Seals (Phoca Vitulina), Maura Allard

Senior Honors Projects

Little research has been established in determining blood chemistry values for harbor seals in Alaska. It has been suggested that various environmental factors can influence the blood chemistry values due to temperature, day length, precipitation, constraint and diet amongst other variables. Currently there are no guidelines for veterinarians and rehabilitators to refer to when analyzing blood chemistry values for sick animals. The hope for this research is that it will aide in establishing guidelines for specific circumstances due to environmental stressors. It is hoped that in the future, this study will be used to create values for which veterinarians can …

Where Does Our Food Come From?

Publications and Exhibits

This twenty-two-panel exhibit traces Knox County's food system from farm to table. Drawing on interviews and fieldwork with dozens of local residents, including farmers, food processors, truckers, restaurant owners, and consumers, the exhibit consists of photographs and text that provide a unique perspective on the food we eat and the character of rural communities. The exhibit debuted at Kenyon College in May 2006 and has been featured at the Knox County Fair and the Centerburg (Ohio) Oldtime Farming Festival. This exhibit is on permanent display at Malabar Farm State Park in Lucas, Ohio. "Where Does Our Food Come From?" is …

Taking The Charisma Out: Teaching As Facilitation, Joseph A. Raelin

Organization Management Journal

The author provides a personal account of his transition from attempting to use charisma to transmit knowledge to students to removing it so that students can themselves experience knowledge as a basis for learning. Consistent with inquiry-based democratic pedagogy, the author demonstrates how he became more a facilitator of learning than its transmitter. He shows how putting charisma into unscheduled classroom inquiry rather than into the teacher’s delivery can produce knowledge collectively and concurrently co-constructed in service of action.

Theses

The thesis describes a project to create a cohesive body of work relating to the themes of the connections between individuals, personal accountability, social responsibility, and social passivity. In addition to creating this body of work, the artist also created a website related to it (which provided an opportunity for feedback as well as links to social resources), and placed advertisements in public papers directing the public to the website by using provocative statements such as 'You are fat'

Coghlan V. Mayor & City Council Of Baltimore: County Health Board Nuisance Suit Buys Time For Baltimore City To Handle Garbage Removal Crisis In 1921, Julia Marie Gontrum

Legal History Publications

In 1921, Baltimore City was faced with the problem of rotting garbage (kitchen refuse consisting of animal and vegetable matter) when a privately-managed piggery (a form of garbage disposal that involved feeding kitchen refuse to pigs) abandoned its operations. As a result, the City Council entered into a contract with William F. Huse, a farmer who owned several wharves on Bear Creek in Baltimore County. Huse agreed to buy the City’s refuse and use it as fertilizer, while the City agreed to haul the garbage to Huse’s wharves. Concern and complaints from Baltimore County residents caused the Baltimore County Council …

Penalized Splines For Longitudinal Data With An Application In Aids Studies, Hua Liang, Yuanhui Xiao

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

A penalized spline approximation is proposed in considering nonparametric regression for longitudinal data. Standard linear mixed-effects modeling can be applied for the estimation. It is relatively simple, efficiently computed, and robust to the smooth parameters selection, which are often encountered when local polynomial and smoothing spline techniques are used to analyze longitudinal data set. The method is extended to time-varying coefficient mixed-effects models. The proposed methods are applied to data from an AIDS clinical study. Biological interpretations and clinical implications are discussed. Simulation studies are done to illustrate the proposed methods.

School Web Sites And Teacher Employment Interest, David Theodore Freeman

Dissertations

The Internet has changed the way many organizations, including public and private schools, recruit and select employees. It has also changed the way many people research and pursue employment opportunities, including those seeking positions in education. The school Web site is often the medium of first contact between a school or school district and a potential employee. That first contact can influence the potential employee’s decision to actively pursue employment with a school or a school district.

This research measured the reactions o f preservice teachers who visited three grade-level appropriate school Web sites of “poor,” “average,” and “best” distinction. …

Germplasm Evaluation Program Progress Report No. 23, T. L. Wheeler, Larry V. Cundiff, L. Dale Van Vleck, G.D. Snowder, R. M. Thallman, Steven D. Shackelford, M. Koohmaraie

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

It is important to match genetic potential of cow herds with the climatic environment and feed resources available for beef production in diverse regions of the U.S. and with consumer preferences for beef products that excel in consistency, leanness, palatability and tenderness. Since 1969, the Germplasm Evaluation Program at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center has been conducted to characterize breeds representing diverse biological types for a wide spectrum of biological traits of economic importance in beef production. Previous results have shown that Bos indicus X Bos taurus (e.g., Brahman and Sahiwal, sired F1 cross cows out of Hereford and …

Growth Rates Under Interval Uncertainty, Janos Hajagos, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

For many real-life systems ranging from financial to population-related to medical, dynamics is described by a system of linear equations. For such systems, the growth rate lambda can be determined as the largest eigenvalue of the corresponding matrix A. In many practical situations, we only know the components of the matrix A with interval (or fuzzy) uncertainty. In such situations, it is desirable to find the range of possible values of lambda. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for computing lambda for a practically important case when all the components of the matrix A are non-negative.

Incorporating Nonfiction Into The Primary Grades: A Handbook For K-2 Teachers, Mandee D. Burton

All Graduate Projects

The majority of reading done outside the school setting is primarily nonfiction in nature; however primary teachers continue to emphasize fictional texts in the classroom. Therefore, many students are unprepared for the increase in the use of nonfiction text which begins in the intermediate grades and continues on up through the college years. Students as young as kindergarten benefit from the early exposure to nonfiction in numerous ways including increased background knowledge, vocabulary, and comprehension. A handbook was created to assist teachers (K-2) in incorporating nonfiction into the primary grades. Eight strategies effective in improving students' comprehension of nonfiction as …
