Teacher Education For Undergraduates, Alicia Leger Jan 2009

Teacher Education For Undergraduates, Alicia Leger

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

This is a capstone research project to assess the effectiveness of a bachelor's degree in the Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) in preparing the undergraduate student to become an elementary school teacher. I will be assessing the course pathways in comparison to scholarly research in the field of teacher preparation education. I will be using both Grounded Theory, an inductive theory composed from a wide selection of data, and Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning to review the literature. The methodology I will be using is a composition of research and creation of curriculum. This is geared toward answering my research question …


Bibliometric Analyses Of Biomedical Research Outputs In Lebanon And The United Arab Emirates 1988-2007, Nisrine Bissar-Tadmouri, Ghazi O. Tadmouri Jan 2009

Bibliometric Analyses Of Biomedical Research Outputs In Lebanon And The United Arab Emirates 1988-2007, Nisrine Bissar-Tadmouri, Ghazi O. Tadmouri

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: We assessed the role of bibliometric methods in representing quantitative and qualitative differences in biomedical research outputs in Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates UAE. METHODS: Data on biomedical research productivity for years 1988-2007 were obtained from PubMed then imported into a specifically designed local database system and normalized to the population size for each country. RESULTS: Data reveal a continuous increase in research production in Lebanon, whereas a plateau phase is observed in the UAE between 1998 and 2007. In Lebanon, most of the citations originated from the capital city of Beirut, mainly the American University of Beirut. …


Effects Of Misassignment On Bias In The Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity, Kelci M. Price Jan 2009

Effects Of Misassignment On Bias In The Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity, Kelci M. Price

Dissertations

The question of whether social interventions are effective has become an ever more important concern as programs are asked to justify their funding and theories of action. Although the randomized control trial (RCT) is a rigorous choice of design with regards to establishing causality, there are many reasons a researcher might want to consider an alternative design. One design which has been shown to provide unbiased estimates of the program effect is the regression discontinuity (RD). However, a major problem encountered when using RD is that participants must be assigned to groups strictly based on a cutoff score - a …

Social Preferences And Moral Biases, Rachel Croson, James Konow Jan 2009

Social Preferences And Moral Biases, Rachel Croson, James Konow

Economics Faculty Works

A consensus seems to be emerging in economics that at least three motives are at work in many strategic decisions: distributive preferences, reciprocal preferences and self-interest. An important obstacle to this research, however, has been moral biases, i.e., the distortions created by self-interest that can obscure our measures of social preferences. Among other things, this has led to disagreement about the relative importance of self-interest, distributive and reciprocal preferences. This paper describes a simple experiment that decomposes behavior into these three forces. We compare the decisions of implicated “stakeholders” with those of impartial “spectators,” who have no stake. Several surprising …

Developing A 'Little Ice Age' Glacial Chronology In The Southern Peruvian Andes Using Lichenometry And Cosmogenic Beryllium-10 Surface Exposure Dating, Jean R. Taggart Jan 2009

Developing A 'Little Ice Age' Glacial Chronology In The Southern Peruvian Andes Using Lichenometry And Cosmogenic Beryllium-10 Surface Exposure Dating, Jean R. Taggart

Master's Theses and Capstones

The timing and causes of tropical climate changes during the Holocene are important and unresolved issues in paleoclimatology. Glacier chronologies are crucial for discerning the role of the tropics in global climate change, but past glacier activity in this region remains poorly documented. In this study, mapping has identified two prominent glacier advances in three valleys in the Cordillera Vilcabamba (13°20'S). 10Be dating reveals that the most recent glacier culminations occurred during the late AD 1700's to early 1800's, which corresponds to the late 'Little Ice Age' period (LIA; AD 1350--1860). Lichenometric dating suggests near-coeval LIA moraine stabilization in all …


In-Situ Ambient Quantification Of Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes And Related Oxygenated Compounds During Bearpex 2007: Implications For Gas-And Particle-Phase Chemistry, Nicole Bouvier-Brown Jan 2009

In-Situ Ambient Quantification Of Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes And Related Oxygenated Compounds During Bearpex 2007: Implications For Gas-And Particle-Phase Chemistry, Nicole Bouvier-Brown

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Works

We quantified ambient mixing ratios of 9 monoterpenes, 6 sesquiterpenes, methyl chavicol, the oxygenated terpene linalool, and nopinone using an in-situ gas chromatograph with a quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-MS). These measurements were a part of the 2007 Biosphere Effects on AeRosols and Photochemistry EXperiment (BEARPEX) at Blodgett Forest, a ponderosa pine forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. To our knowledge, these observations represent the first direct in-situ ambient quantification of the sesquiterpenes α-bergamotene, longifolene, α-farnesene, and β-farnesene. From average diurnal mixing ratio profiles, we show that α-farnesene emissions are dependent mainly on temperature whereas α-bergamotene and β-farnesene emissions …
