Streams: Small Jewish communities on the banks of the Ohio.
(2002)
In most small towns, the dominant Jewish institution was the synagogue, whose activities included mutual aid, philanthropy, and Jewish education. In the mid-nineteenth century, the Ohio Valley was the center of a movement ...
Retrospection on a baccalaureate degree in mid-life: What does it mean in a woman's life?
(2002)
A national higher education public policy agenda enmeshed in economic issues threatens to diminish access and disregard the baccalaureate educational needs of women in midlife. The numbers of adult women attaining bachelor's ...
Heat transfer and fluid flow in rotating cylinders with a porous sleeve.
(2002)
A finite difference method was employed in part three to obtain the flow and temperature fields in rotating cylinders with a porous sleeve. This configuration is identical to that in the second part, except that the inner ...
Search for magnetic monopoles possibly produced by proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron collider.
(2002)
Magnetic monopoles can be used to explain the quantization of electric charge, and are predicted by gauge field theory. If monopoles exist, they could have been produced by the proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron ...
The epistemic origins of Xenophanes' natural theology.
(2002)
The monograph continues by looking at how these two streams emerge from one single---albeit complex---commitment to a proto-scientific commitment to the observance of nature. It is this consistent, coherent, and widely ...
Dimensional measurement of conical features using coordinate metrology.
(2002)
Coordinate metrology employs a discrete sampling of data points to verify the size, form, orientation, and location of features contained in parts. Usually data points are collected intuitively with simple schemes that ...
Through which channel, with what effect :
(2002)
Researchers have long studied the effects of media messages on individuals. The emergence of a new medium, the Internet, demands that we make closer study of the effects from exposure to messages through this channel. This ...
Celebrating Mediocrity?: How Schools Shortchange Gifted Students
(2002)
Some forces that undermine programs for the gifted—misguided fiscal policies, simplistic teaching methodologies, and a resurgence of the philosophy of egalitarianism—are reviewed. Analogous to the demise (and possible ...
Measurement issues in determining interrater agreement.
(2002)
Multiple indices have been proposed claiming to measure the amount of agreement between ratings of two or more judges on a multi-item measure. Unfortunately, simulation work based on these indices is lacking; thus we are ...
One-dimensional Riemannian foliations on the Heisenberg group.
(2002)
The main goal of our dissertation is to show that one-dimensional Riemannian foliations on the Heisenberg group H2 n+1 are homogeneous. Using our result and the homogeneity of codimension one Riemannian foliations on H ...
