Leveraging Workplace Diversity In Organizations, Alison M. Konrad Dec 2006

Leveraging Workplace Diversity In Organizations, Alison M. Konrad

Organization Management Journal

Research identifies several substantial barriers to the building of good working relationships among diverse cultural groups, and diversity must be managed if organizations are to attain the benefits promised by the business case for diversity. Many organizations have created diversity initiatives to address the demographic changes in the labor force and customer base, but few have achieved the goal of developing a truly multicultural organization. This article tracks best practices for managing diversity as well as future trends managers should prepare for. Managing diversity successfully requires a long-term commitment, and research suggests that employees respond well to diversity best practices …

Functional Trait Niches Of North American Lotic Insects: Traits-Based Ecological Applications In Light Of Phylogenetic Relationships, N. Leroy Poff, Julian D. Olden, Nicole K.M. Vieira, Debra S. Finn, Mark P. Simmons, Boris C. Kondratieff Dec 2006

Functional Trait Niches Of North American Lotic Insects: Traits-Based Ecological Applications In Light Of Phylogenetic Relationships, N. Leroy Poff, Julian D. Olden, Nicole K.M. Vieira, Debra S. Finn, Mark P. Simmons, Boris C. Kondratieff

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

The use of species traits to characterize the functional composition of benthic invertebrate communities has become well established in the ecological literature. This approach holds much potential for predicting changes of both species and species assemblages along environmental gradients in terms of traits that are sensitive to local environmental conditions. Further, in the burgeoning field of biomonitoring, a functional approach provides a predictive basis for understanding community-level responses along gradients of environmental alteration caused by humans. Despite much progress in recent years, the full potential of the functional traits-based approach is currently limited by several factors, both conceptual and methodological. …

An Eccentric Hot Jupiter Orbiting The Subgiant Hd 185269, John Asher Johnson, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Debra A. Fischer, Gregory W. Henry, Jason T. Wright, Howard Isaacson, Chris Mccarthy Dec 2006

An Eccentric Hot Jupiter Orbiting The Subgiant Hd 185269, John Asher Johnson, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Debra A. Fischer, Gregory W. Henry, Jason T. Wright, Howard Isaacson, Chris Mccarthy

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

We report the detection of a Jupiter-mass planet in a 6.838 day orbit around the 1.28 M☉ subgiant HD 185269. The eccentricity of HD 185269b (e = 0.30) is unusually large compared to other planets within 0.1 AU of their stars. Photometric observations demonstrate that the star is constant to ±0.0001 mag on the radial velocity period, strengthening our interpretation of a planetary companion. This planet was detected as part of our radial velocity survey of evolved stars located on the subgiant branch of the H-R diagram—also known as the Hertzsprung gap. These stars, which have masses between 1.2 and …

Data Management Plans: Stages, Components, And Activities, Abbas S. Tavakoli, Kirby Jackson, Linda Moneyham, Kenneth D. Phillips, Carolyn Murdaugh, Gene Meding Dec 2006

Data Management Plans: Stages, Components, And Activities, Abbas S. Tavakoli, Kirby Jackson, Linda Moneyham, Kenneth D. Phillips, Carolyn Murdaugh, Gene Meding

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Data management strategies have become increasingly important as new computer technologies allow for larger and more complex data sets to be analyzed easily. As a consequence, data management has become a specialty requiring specific skills and knowledge. Many new investigators have no formal training in management of data sets. This paper describes common basic strategies critical to the management of data as applied to a data set from a longitudinal study. The stages of data management are identified. Moreover, key components and strategies, at each stage are described.

Inclusion Models In Elementary Physical Education, Wendy Storm Dec 2006

Inclusion Models In Elementary Physical Education, Wendy Storm

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Over the last 30 years the number of disabled students being placed in regular education settings has increased dramatically, as has the severity of their disabilities (Greenwood & French, 2000). With the integration of students into regular education classrooms, practitioners are challenged to provide adequate supports to insure beneficial learning environments. According to Public Law 105-17 all students must be provided elementary physical education (pecentral.org). The law does not distinguish between students who are classified as "“special education students" and those who are classified as general education students. This study investigates the development and implementation of inclusion practices for special …

Grassland Songbirds In A Dynamic Management Landscape: Behavioral Responses And Management Strategies, Noah G. Perlut, Allan M. Strong, Therese M. Donovan, Neil J. Buckley

Environmental Studies Faculty Publications

In recent decades, earlier and more frequent harvests of agricultural grasslands have been implicated as a major cause of population declines in grassland songbirds. From 2002 to 2005, in the Champlain Valley of Vermont and New York, USA, we studied the reproductive success of Savannah Sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis) and Bobolinks (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) on four grassland treatments: (1) early-hayed fields cut before 11 June and again in early- to mid-July; (2) middle-hayed fields cut once between 21 June and 10 July; (3) late-hayed fields cut after 1 August; and (4) rotationally grazed pastures. Both the number of …
