Solid And Hypersolid Forms, Ronnie Kon

Word Ways

I have been thinking about extending Forms into three or more dimensions for a few years now and have so far only inflicted my thoughts on the National Puzzlers' League and G4G participants. Sadly, it has become time to end this journal's readership's bliss and begin to bloviate here.

Latin Square Word Puzzles, Donald Knuth

Word Ways

Professor Knuth supplied these three unusual puzzles that he had handed out to participants at the International Puzzle Party (IPP) held at San Francisco in August 2009. He dedicates the puzzles to the memory of Nob Yoshigahara. Solution will be provided in the next issue.

A Foul Ghoul Soul Loves Good Blood Food, Richard Lederer

Word Ways

In the May 2005 issue of WORD WAYS, Bob McKenty, Alexian Gregory, and I published a version of this article. Ever since, I have continued to dive almost daily for the treasure of additional eye rhymes. You know how it is: We logologists get swept away by a letter-perfect, endlessly undulating concept, and we drown ecstatically in its depths and its shallows.

Triangular Tricks, Susan Thorpe

Word Ways

Triangular Progressions etc. have recently appeared in Word Ways 2009088, 2009167 and 1009285. In addition to words which form UPRIGHT triangles, other words form INVERTED triangles and, within each of these two forms, there are 3 categories.

A 4470-Point Scrabble Game, Jeff Grant

Word Ways

In the February 1981 issue of Word Ways we exhibited a theoretical solitaire Scrabble game where all 100 titles are used to achieve a score of 4454 points. With some slight adjustments to the setup and a few new words it is possible to add 16 more points, giving a new total of 4470. Asterisks (*) indicate the two blank tiles.

Characteristically, Jeff Grant

Word Ways

In the August issue we exhibited a progressive terminal transaddition where the single letter S is extended by one letter at a time up to the 13 letter SHEPHERDESSES, with all terms in the series being legitimate words (most found in dictionaries).

By stretching logological licene somewhat, a longer chain is possible culminating in the 18-letter word CHARACTERISTICALLY.

The Numeracy Of Alternate Letters, Susan Thorpe

Word Ways

Assigning A=1, B=2, etc., the letters forming the first and second halves of a word within an even number of letters sometimes make a Numerical Tautonym or a Numerical Palindrome. SPEA.KING=41.41 and POE.TRY=36.63, respectively, are examples of the two genres.

The Power Of Dance: How Dance And Emotion Connect, Krista Blankenship, Chastin Oliver

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

The purpose of this study was to test whether or not audiences could experience emotions portrayed by dance performances. The researchers hypothesized that if the audience can identify the emotion being expressed, then they would experience that same emotion. The researchers also predicted that music would cause a greater level of emotional reaction to the performance. The participants watched two dance videos, one portraying a sad emotion and the other a love/passion emotion and rated their emotional reactions. After analyzing the data, the hypothesis was proven only partially correct. The participants who correctly identified the emotion portrayed in the video …

Picture Perfect Job: An Analysis Of The Effects Of Weight On Internship Interviews, John R. Gatermann, Kimberly N. Gould

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

The purpose of this study was to discover if weight perception has an effect on obtaining an internship. It was hypothesized that a less qualified individual with an average weight appearance will be chosen more often than a qualified person who was above average weight when compared for an internship. Furthermore, people’s perception of weight and how they perceive others based on weight was observed. In the study, participants were directed to evaluate two resumes: one being qualified and one being unqualified and each having either an average weight or above average weight candidate’s photo identification attached. Then, the participants …

Copyright Consultation Submission, Laura Murray

Osgoode Hall Review of Law and Policy

In this submission, the author articulates the principles that she feels should guide copyright reform. Appropriate reforms would aim to restore legitimacy to the Copyright Act by ensuring technological neutrality, and by implementing the WIPO treaties in a manner that best suits Canada‘s specific circumstances, policy traditions, and cultural goals. Clear legal drafting so that ordinary Canadians can understand the Act is also essential. Strong users’ rights foster expression, enhance learning opportunities, and make creation possible in the first place. With respect to specific reforms, Digital Rights Management must not prohibit anti-circumvention for non-infringing purposes, licensing regimes must be accountable …

Innovative Public Engagement Practices And Partnerships: Lifting Stakeholder Voices In Education Accountability Policy, Monica Wills, Curtis Brewer, Robert Knoeppel, James Witte, Roy Pargas, Jane Clark Lindle

Publications

In 2008, due to increasing stakeholder dissatisfaction with assessment results and school report cards, South Carolina revised its 1998 Educational Accountability Act and required public engagement with stakeholders including parents/guardians, educators, business and community leaders, and taxpayers. The legislation created partnerships between SC‟s Education Oversight Committee (EOC) and Clemson University. The project also brought together within the university the fields of Applied Sociology, Computer Science, and Educational Leadership. The project involved mixed methods using phone/web surveys with focus groups eliciting perceptions from key stakeholders and under-represented voices in the surveys.

Uncertain Identity: Medical Practitioners In Doctor Thorne And Middlemarch, Denis Illige-Saucier

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The medical practitioners who play leading roles in the novels Middlemarch by George Eliot and Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope are examples of a new breed of professional medical men that emerged during the middle of the nineteenth century in England. The new class of general practitioners held licenses from the old hierarchical system of physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries, but they were the driving force in favor of reform and professionalization in medicine. The 1858 Medical Act was an important step on the path toward a new conception of the medical practitioner, and the development of that new medical identity …

Modifying Instruction In The Deaf Interpreting Model, Carla Mathers

International Journal of Interpreter Education

While there is much current discussion of the use of deaf interpreters, in practice, deaf interpreters in the United States are generally used for a small segment of the population and typically confined to legal settings. The use of a deaf interpreter paired with an interpreter who can hear, in an ancillary or supporting role, is a reasonable accommodation in a variety of settings, for a variety of deaf individuals, and with a variety of interpreters who can hear. Interpreter education programs need to develop or revise their curricula to incorporate the discrete tasks as performed by deaf interpreters. Research-based …

Assessing Animal Welfare: Different Philosophies, Different Scientific Approaches, David Fraser

Assessment of Animal Welfare Collection

Attempts to improve animal welfare have commonly centered around three broad objectives: (1) to ensure good physical health and functioning of animals, (2) to minimize unpleasant ‘‘affective states’’ (pain, fear, etc.) and to allow animals normal pleasures, and (3) to allow animals to develop and live in ways that are natural for the species. Each of these objectives has given rise to scientific approaches for assessing animal welfare. An emphasis on health and functioning has led to assessment methods based on rates of disease, injury, mortality, and reproductive success. An emphasis on affective states has led to assessment methods based …

Prevalence And Risk Factors For Skin Lesions On Legs Of Dairy Cattle Housed In Freestalls In Norway, C. Kielland, L. E. Ruud, A. J. Zanella, O. Østerås

Housing and Confinement of Farm Animals Collection

Appropriate indoor housing facilities for dairy cattle promote improved animal welfare. Skin alterations are an indicator of dysfunctional housing. The purpose was to determine the relationship between different housing design and skin lesions, hence providing farmers more insight into how to reduce the occurrence of lesions. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 2,335 animals in 232 Norwegian freestall-housed dairy cattle from September 2006 to June 2007. A model was established to investigate risk factors related to the presence of lesions including hair loss, swelling, and wounds on the legs of dairy cattle. Separate models were developed to investigate risk factors …

How Much Can Guided Modes Enhance Absorption In Thin Solar Cells?, Peter N. Saeta, Vivian E. Ferry, Domenico Pacifici, Jeremy N. Munday, Harry A. Atwater

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

Absorption enhancement in thin metal-backed solar cells caused by dipole scatterers embedded in the absorbing layer is studied using a semi-analytical approach. The method accounts for changes in the radiation rate produced by layers above and below the dipole, and treats incoherently the subsequent scattering of light in guided modes from other dipoles. We find large absorption enhancements for strongly coupled dipoles, exceeding the ergodic limit in some configurations involving lossless dipoles. An antireflection-coated 100-nm layer of a-Si:H on Ag absorbs up to 87% of incident above-gap light. Thin layers of both strong and weak absorbers show similar strongly enhanced …
