Dissecting the reaction mechanism of sheep liver 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase.
Zhang, Lei.
Cook, Paul F.,
In the second part of the research, three additional mutants, S 128A, H 186A and N187A were characterized in the same manner as the K183 mutant enzymes. The decrease in the activity compared to the wild type enzyme is about 200-fold for the H 186A and N 187A mutant enzymes, but only 12-fold for the S 128A mutant enzyme. Dissociation constant for 6PG from the E:NADP:6PG complex (K6PG) is increased by around 6-fold for both S 128A and H 186A and 16-fold for N 187A. Product inhibition studies by NADPH give a dissociation constant for the E:NADPH complex (Kis) that is increased by 5- to 6-fold for the S 128A and H 186A mutant enzymes at nonsaturating 6PG. No significant change is found in Kis value for the N 187A mutant enzyme. The primary deuterium isotope effects decrease for S 128A and H 186A, and increase in the case of N 187A compared to those of the wild type enzyme. The kinetic data suggest that all of the three enzyme side chains are responsible for binding the substrates, and that both S 128 and H 186 play an important role in the decarboxylation process, while N187 facilitates the hydride transfer step.
6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) catalyzes the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of 6phosphogluconate to ribulose-5-phosphate and CO2 with the concomitant reduction of NADP to NADPH. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to change K183 of sheep liver 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase to A, E, H, C, Q, R, and M to probe its possible role as a general base catalyst. Each of the mutant proteins was characterized with respect to its kinetic parameters at pH 7, and the pH dependence of kinetic parameters for the K183R mutant enzyme. The only mutant enzyme that gives a significant amount of catalysis is the K183R mutant. Its activity is decreased by about 3 orders of magnitude, and the general base pK is perturbed to a value greater than pH 9. All other mutant enzymes have rates that are decreased by about 4 orders of magnitude compared to the wild type enzyme. Data are consistent with the general base function of K183.

The epistemic origins of Xenophanes' natural theology.
Stearman, Scott Lee.
Benson, Hugh,
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 cast observational activity that forms the basis of the Xenophanean revolution. The fifth chapter is an attempt to demonstrate the continuity between the scientific methodology of Xenophanes and ours today.
Initially the extant fragments relating to Xenophanes' epistemology or theology are translated with a brief commentary when a translation issue is paramount. Then a view of Xenophanes' epistemology is developed, based upon this textual exegesis and two millennia of scholarship. It is argued that Xenophanes is not the empiricist, rationalist, or sceptic that he is sometimes portrayed as being. Rather he best fits the model (indeed a mold he helped create) of a naturalistic fallibilist.
Xenophanes was the first ancient Greek to make explicitly philosophical statements about epistemology. He was also the first Pre-Socratic to attack traditional and popular religion, eventually forming a rudimentary natural theology. This monograph attempts to show the clear connection and mutual dependency of these two streams of thought. In the process of this demonstration, however, it is necessary to give an interpretation of both streams.
The same interpretive enterprise is attempted with his natural theology. A number of misunderstandings of Xenophanes' beliefs are laid aside and a "minimalist" vision of his theological convictions is developed. It is found that Xenophanes is not a committed monotheist, or monist, as has sometimes been taught. His philosophical razor trims excessive adumbrations and speculations, and trims theology of many of its traditional aspects.
In the end Xenophanes appears to be quite influential. This document ends by showing the evident appreciation that Socrates held for this thinker. It was primarily through Socrates that Xenophanes would extend his formidable ideas through centuries of western civilization.

A dynamic simultaneous model of Taiwan :
Hwang, Been-kwei,
Various econometric models of Taiwan have been constructed since 1964. All of these shared the same common shortcomings. Their periods of annual data were too short to maintain a satisfactory degree of freedom. Their estimators were determined by the ordinary least squares method. The models were highly demand-oriented. The theoretical framework of the models and the effects of exports and imports on economic development were barely discussed.
A disequilibrium model for Taiwan is also constructed for comparison in this study. This model confirms the results of the equilibrium model. Moreover, wage increases significantly reduce labor demand, but stimulate labor supply. The relationship between Taiwan's exports and the U.S. GNP is positive, but negative between the Taiwanese exports and the Japanese GNP.
A new equilibrium model of the Taiwan economy is formulated in this study. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the economy of Taiwan and determine useful policy implications. Another purpose of this study is to eliminate the weaknesses of previous models. In particular the data have been made current in an attempt to enlarge the degree of freedom. In order to take care of the simultaneous bias, the 2SLS and 3SLS methods are applied in the estimation procedure. A dynamic simultaneous model is introduced in which the approaches of IS-LM, AS-AD, multiplier analysis, business cycle, and policy experiments are utilized to enrich the findings.
The Taiwan equilibrium model is capable of predicting turning points and has a very good fit. It takes into account the important features of the economy of Taiwan. Exports are a major contributor to economic growth and employment. Monetary policy and/or fiscal policy actions cause inflation. Price stability is vulnerable to the price fluctuation of Taiwan's trading partners. Fiscal policy is more effective in Taiwan than monetary policy. Taiwan has a business cycle of about 16 years. The Okun's law and the Phillip's curve can be applied.

Development of methodology for the determination of catecholamines, indoleamines, and related hydroxylating enzymes.
Wong, Peter Kwei-yen,
This study was concerned with the development and improvement of analytical procedures using liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection for the determination of activity of tyrosine hydroxylase, tryptophan hydroxylase, and certain individual amines.
The developed methods exhibit sensitivity and selectivity comparable or superior to methods presently in use.
A simplified procedure for the determination of 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT, has also been investigated. The analysis time is considerably shortened by eliminating the usual isolation step through the proper choice of homogenization conditions. Sample handling capability is, thus greatly increased.
The neurotransmitters, catecholamines and indoleamines have been investigated extensively during the recent past. A number of assay procedures have been reported for the study of the rate limiting, hydroxylating enzymes as well as the neurotransmitter levels.
The currently reported methods for the determinations of tyrosine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase focus on the improvement of chromatographic conditions, optimization of reaction parameters and minimization of blank levels.

"Aboriginally yours": The Society of American Indians and United States citizenship, 1890--1924.
Furnish, Patricia Lee.
Anderson, Gary C.,
His public life had been dedicated to improving the condition of Native people. Eastman worked with progressive reformers who, like himself, believed in the power of Christian civilization and democracy to improve the condition of Indians. These "Friends of the Indian" organizations abhorred massacres of Indians and the institutional disgrace that Indian reservations signified. During the Progressive Era 1890-1917, Eastman helped found a political organization of Native Progressive reformers, the Society of American Indians (SAI), in 1910. They came to know the political and racial power structure of the United States as it was shaped by two wars, the Spanish American War and World War I. The SAI pushed for assimilation with consent, a racial uplift created with Indian participation and with respect for Indians as human beings. With a lifespan of less than fifteen years, the SAI's anti-climactic implosion revealed the elusiveness of full citizenship and the dismal record of social reform during World War I.
This study examines the issues of cultural identity and rights of access to full participation in American society for American Indians. Leaders of the SAI pushed for Indian assimilation through U.S. citizenship, which is in one respect, a legally defined status and one that the federal government retained the constitutional power to grant. SAT leaders, however, were divided on many issues---policy, assimilation, and the proper path for the development of a viable, modern Indian identity. The official rhetoric of the SAI changed little over its thirteen years of activity. However, the philosophies of its key members did. As tribal members from across the country joined the SAI in an effort to form a pan-Indian "voice" on federal Indian policy, they found disagreement over the process of gaining citizenship for Indians. Issues of tradition versus acculturation challenged the SAI's philosophy of a unified agenda beneficial and representative of all citizen Indians in the United States. On both a philosophical and a personal level, leaders of the SAI had to confront their own issues of Indian identity and the stereotypes of Indians that influenced federal policy. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
In 1890, the last spasm of Indian-U.S. military conflict at Wounded Knee convulsed Pine Ridge reservation. A Santee Sioux physician, Charles Eastman witnessed the massacre of approximately three hundred members of a Minneconjou Sioux band led by Big Foot, mostly women and children.

On use of the anelastic vertical vorticity equation in dual-Doppler analyses of the vertical velocity field.
Mewes, John Jeremy.
Shapiro, Alan,
The potential for applying the anelastic vertical vorticity equation for dual-Doppler synthesis of the vertical wind field is explored. In particular, application of the vorticity equation as a weak variational constraint to retrieve the boundary condition field(s) is investigated. The Euler-Lagrange equations for a single boundary condition as well as a system of two opposing boundary conditions are presented. Since mass continuity is applied as a weak constraint during vertical velocity retrieval in the latter approach, a correction step to the horizontal wind fields is developed that ensures anelastic mass continuity is satisfied exactly in the final analysis.
The techniques are tested on ARPS simulations of the May 20, 1977 Del City supercell storm as well as a storm evolving in a typical dry microburst environment. Errors are introduced to the simulated radial wind observations, and the resulting analyses are compared against the traditional techniques that would most likely be applied in each of four data availability scenarios. These four scenarios were devised to address the scanning limitations of current operational and research radars. The results using simulated data indicate that the vorticity equation has the potential for significantly improving dual-Doppler analyses of the vertical velocity field in many common situations, and argue for the deployment of more rapid scanning research radars.

The relationship of group functions to achievement in cooperative learning groups performing ill-structured problem-solving.
Welp, Robert Louis.
Smith, Jay C.,
Cooperative learning groups have been the subject of study for nearly a century. The majority of the studies have focused primarily on either establishing the effectiveness of a particular method, or assessing the effectiveness of specific manipulations or methods within a general cooperative learning approach. No known research has sought to systematically identify the functions of effective cooperative learning groups and determine the relative contribution of these functions to achievement.
An analysis of the top twenty achieving groups indicates that approximately one third of these groups became somewhat more autocratic in the final time period. These groups were more likely to be polarized and less likely to have formal team leaders assigned specific responsibilities. The remaining two thirds had become more democratic, were not polarized, and were more likely to have a formal team leader.
This study investigates the role goal setting, feedback, and decision making functions within cooperative learning groups play in contributing to high achievement in ill-structured problem solving. The performance of group functions of seventy-seven project groups solving ill-structured problems from within a large southwestern university were assessed at three points in time during the life of the group. Results indicate that goal setting for the overall project and for individual assignments and use of feedback increased over time. The number of personal goals decreased over time. Group functions were predictive of achievement late in the life of the group, at the third time period. Group goal setting for individual assignments, the number of personal goals in the group, and the group's decision making style were found to predict twelve percent of the variance in group achievement. Group goal setting was positively related to achievement, while number of personal goals and a democratic decision making style were negatively related to achievement.

The anthropology of law :
Anderson, Charles Austin,
Much of the anthropological work on Middle American communities has generally typified local (community) informal law as "customary". The emphasis on only one type of dispute resolution agency obfuscates definitive conclusions in clarifying the complex juridical characteristics of Middle America. This complexity can be illuminated and made more lucid through a comparative analysis of de facto and de jure methods of conflict resolution. Therefore, this research was undertaken as an analysis and critique of the ethnographic literature in depth. These sources were treated as an ethnohistorian explores any historical documentation.
Ancillary to these points, in the areas of Middle America where governmental integration has been rapid and pervasive, the adoption of formal conflict resolution methods has been practically complete.
Through the utilization of the 1917 Mexican Constitution and the basic statutory law derived therefrom as a model, the thrust of the research is to demonstrate that, despite many contentions about standardized group or class practices or behavior patterns entering into decisions pertaining to the resolution of disputes, enacted statutory law also plays a vital role (more than many anthropologists are ready to admit) in the areas surveyed.
This exhaustive study has substantiated three basic points, namely: (1) Enough data was presented to support the hypothesis that the indigenous conflict resolution systems of Middle America have in measurable degree been adopted from, rather than adapted to, the Hispano-Roman derived systems of social control employed at the Federal and State levels. (2) The resolution of village conflicts through the utilization of formal judicial mechanisms is only one factor in influencing ethnic boundaries and the motivation and efforts to maintain a degree of ethnic autonomy are seen not merely as attempts to maintain separateness between local community and State; but, also, between local communities. (3) As one progresses or advances from the local levels to more remote areas of State control, little difference can be perceived in the degrees of adoption of de jure control mechanisms.
No attempts have been made to evaluate the relationships between the dispositions of recurrent conflict situations existing at the village level to ascertain whether or not the de facto conflict resolution is more functional than the official institutions (de jure) in a complex of cultures that are represented by the Nation-States of Middle America.

Careers of their own: Role-identity negotiation among Air Force officers' wives.
Dana, Krista Lorrell.
Scott, Wilbur J.,
The purpose of this study is to explore how a military officer's wife, one foot on each meandering path, might navigate simultaneously her careerist and traditional wife roles. Specifically, this study asks the following: In their own words, how do Air Force officer wives define "career"? How does the military lifestyle impact the careers of these women? What obstacles and opportunities do they perceive? By what adaptive processes might career-oriented Air Force officer wives achieve both career satisfaction and commitment to their traditional military role? Finally, what does it mean to be a careerist-traditional wife, and how do such career trajectories proceed over time and multiple relocations?
Drawing on a symbolic interactionist perspective and on respondents' personal definitions of "career, " this research details the strategies, innovations, and explorations some career-seeking wives have employed over the course of their affiliations with the military. Data include 93 preliminary survey responses and 15 in-depth, oral life history interviews gathered from Air Force officer wives. Each interview respondent claims a careerist identity, participates in traditional military activities, and has experience living overseas. Each semi-structured, retrospective interview, then, explores the career trajectory of the respondent, the contextual obstacles and opportunities she perceives, the behavioral strategies and cognitive adjustments she employs, and the individualized identity meanings she attaches to her self-defined role. Analysis explores the military lifestyle as it is perceived by these careerist-traditional wives, the behavioral and cognitive adaptations they undertake, and the implications of their recollections. Substantive findings outline strategies for career-seeking spouses and suggest some future directions for advisement, policy, and research. Theoretical implications support and expand the principles of sociological identity control theory. Specifically, the experiences of these women indicate that individuals act to verify identity meanings not only through behavioral adjustments but through cognitive and definitional adjustments as well. As such, this research extends identity control theory. It clarifies both how role-identity definitions change over time at the individual level and, in the interactionist perspective, how those meanings are behaviorally negotiated at the social level, cumulatively affecting normative change.

A Petrographic Investigation of the Windsor Formation, St. Ann's Basin: Implications Concerning the Cretaceous Tectonic History of Northern Jamaica
O'Neal, Marianne Victoria
The Windsor Formation, in north-central Jamaica, crops out as a 1000ft (380m) sequence of terrigenous sandstones, shales and micritic limestones extending into the subsurface for over 290m. The Windsor Formation represents deposition of a deep sea fan into the St. Ann's Basin during the late Cretaceious formation of the island of Jamaica. Deposition occurred in cycles. Each cycle is composed of a basal conglomerate layer containing cobble-sized clasts. which fines upward into sandstone, then shales and micritic limestones. These cycles may represent the avulsion of submarine fan channels. Paleocurrent analysis reveals the direction of sediment transport to be to the northeast.

Streams: Small Jewish communities on the banks of the Ohio.
Shevitz, Amy Hill.
Levy, David W.,
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 for an Americanized Reform Judaism. Small Jewish communities there played a vital role in constructing Reform Judaism and its institutions. Jews saw themselves---and were seen---as simultaneously similar and different. Emphasizing shared values and interests, small town Jews affirmed the notion of "progress" central to small-town boosterism.
The mass immigration of Eastern European Jews (1880--1920) coincided with new economic opportunities in some small Ohio River towns. The immigrants replenished the population of small Jewish communities, even as their integration created challenges. In the 1920s and 1930s, Jewish population and institutional strength reached their peak in most of the small towns. But from the 1950s through the 1990s, this situation was increasingly unsustainable. Small Jewish communities confronted population loss and the aging of their remaining constituents. In towns all along the Ohio River, congregations were forced to merge or even to disband.
The Ohio River Valley was the center of the Trans-Appalachian West. Jewish merchants and land investors operated there during the colonial and early national eras. In the 1820s and 1830s, Jews began to settle permanently; in 1824 the first synagogue was organized in Cincinnati. Though the Valley moved beyond its frontier stage by 1825, it was still a Jewish frontier, a place of contact between the old and the new. The diversity of religious groups in the Valley made it the first testing-ground for religious pluralism in America.
The Ohio River Valley's Jewish communities were built by immigrants from Central Europe in the 1830s--1860s. Jewish migration patterns were linked to the growth of commerce in the Valley and to similar European background. Jews created networks of business, social, and religious support in small towns throughout the Valley.

A geotechniques-based exploratory investigation of vog impacts to the environmental system on Hawai'i island.
Gibson, Barbara A.
Postawko, Susan,
Hawai'i Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and surrounding regions on Hawai'i Hawai'i Island were chosen for the research site because the basaltic volcanism taking place is significant, and relevant data concerning many environmental variables are readily available. Specifically, changes to spatial and temporal trends in precipitation and surface temperature as well as negative impacts to vegetation health due to volcanic emissions (vog) from Kilauea Volcano are investigated using exploratory statistics, a geographical information system (GIS), and remote sensing techniques. Results were inconclusive concerning possible vog impacts to vegetation health; but the study's findings do support the hypothesis that the vog is influencing both rainfall and temperature trends and patterns for Hawai'i Hawai'i Island.
The purpose of this research is to analyze the direct and indirect impacts of gases produced by basaltic volcanism on interactions between environmental systems. Related studies of natural hazards have been performed involving explosive, composite volcanic eruptions, including the Mt. St. Helens, El Chichon, and Mt. Pinatubo eruptions to determine if they contributed to global cooling among other environmental impacts. Unlike these previous studies that emphasized impacts of volcanic gases in the stratosphere, this research will examine the possible long-term effects on Hawai'i Hawai'i Island's environmental system due to sulfur gases (and resulting sulfate aerosols) released by a non-explosive eruption into the troposphere. Although basaltic events may not be as dynamic as composite eruptions, they can eject significantly greater amounts of sulfur into the atmosphere than a more silicic magma of the same volume. This is important because changes in environmental factors have been attributed to a larger than normal presence of sulfur compounds in the atmosphere.

Quasi two-dimensional accumulation layer on n--type InAs in tipped magnetic fields /
Nealon, Michael J.,
With the magnetic field parallel to the surface, non-periodic structure in the transconductance is observed and attributed to the total depopulation of the subbands as they are pushed up in energy above the Fermi level. As the sample temperature is increased the amplitude of this structure decreases, which allows a measurement of the subband energy.
The electron gas formed at the surface of an n-type InAs MOSFET is quasi two-dimensional. The period in inverse magnetic field strength of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations allows a determination of the 2D subband number density. Tipping the magnetic field away from the surface normal decreases the subband population: the component of the magnetic field parallel to the accumulation layer raises the subband energies, hence depopulating the excited states, and the perpendicular field component gives rise to the SdH oscillations from which the population can be determined.
Also observed in our data is the magnetic freeze-out of 2D impurity band conduction at the oxide-semiconductor interface.

Prospecting for elements: Galactic halo planetary nebulae abundances and Virgo spiral galaxy color profiles.
Howard, Joseph William.
Henry, Richard C.,
Near-infrared Virgo cluster spiral colors. Near-infrared (NIR) surface photometry in J (1.2$\mu$m), H (1.6$\mu$m) and K (2.2$\mu$m) have been obtained for a sample of Virgo cluster spirals; NGC4321, NGC4303, NGC4571, NGC4689, and NGC4254 which span a large range in HI deficiency. The spirals range from a normal gas content to a deficiency of a factor of 10 compared to normal galaxies. Using previous HII region abundance studies along with the NIR colors an attempt has been made to calibrate any correlation between the J-K index to the overall gas phase abundance gradients as a first step to probing the underlying stellar metallicity. Decomposition techniques have been used to produce estimates of spiral bulge/disk masses and luminosities in all three J, H, & K bands, as well as to explore the variation of mass-to-light ratios within the separate galaxy components. An analysis of the NIR colors is performed in an attempt to unravel the similar effects that stellar ages, dust content, metallicity, and some non-stellar emission processes has upon colors. The derived color gradients for the J-K index are very shallow and show a range of behaviors across the galaxy sample.
Halo planetary nebulae. Using published spectral line data for nine halo planetary nebulae (HPNe), I have calculated photoionization models in an attempt to gain insight into the physical conditions and chemical abundances of these nebulae. The nine HPNE reported upon are K648, DdDm-1, NGC2242, NGC4361, PN243.8-37.1, PN006-41.9, M2-29, BB-1, and H4-1. The derived abundance ranges for the HPNe are: C 6.60-8.95, N 7.18-8.00, O 7.56-8.56, Ne 6.24-7.71, Ar 4.12-7.70, and S 4.90-7.00 (log(x) + 12). The temperature range for the central stars of these nebulae is 40,000 to 140,000K. Specifically, with a few exceptions, I find that all nine objects exhibit subsolar O/H; most show enhanced C/O and N/O, and a constant Ne/O ration. I also note the existence of comparatively larger abundance scatter in the HPNe as opposed to disk PNe, and suggest that this is consistent with the accretion model of halo formation formulated by Searle & Zinn. In addition, I test the effects on derived abundances and central star temperatures of a variety of model atmospheres as well as blackbodies for input ionizing spectra. I find that nebular line strengths are relatively insensitive to atmospheric details; thus blackbody spectra are suitable for central star continua.

Pitch internalization strategies of professional musicians.
Thompson, Kathy Akin.
Barry, Nancy H.,
Rogers, Michael R.,
Music educators agree that the internalization of pitch from music notation is essential for music literacy, but college music theory teachers often find that students' aural comprehension lags behind their visual comprehension of musical notation. Teachers may find pitch skills difficult to teach because their own cognition has become intuitive through musical experience. Research in aural skills pedagogy has produced neither comprehensive curricular requirements nor an ideal sequence of experiences for pitch internalization. Furthermore, teachers with absolute pitch (AP) cannot know from personal experience how to teach necessary relative pitch (RP) skills.
Results of the Aural Skills Questionnaire were analyzed to determine the types of experience and deliberate practice that led to effective RP skills among 100 professional musicians. Music instruction and ensembles before and during college were considered along with training and experience after college. Participants also compared their own strategies with six metaphors for pitch perception proposed in the author's earlier study, Thinking in sound: A qualitative study of metaphors for pitch perception---Follower, Contour-singer, Button-pusher, Builder, Tonal-thinker and Pitcher. Three music educators also analyzed participants' strategies through their scripts for aural tasks and compared them with the metaphors. One additional metaphor was proposed---the Chunker---to describe the pattern-seeking strategy found in many scripts and definitions of other metaphors were revised. Individual interviews with RP experts, chosen on the basis of accuracy in aural tasks and self-assessed confidence, provided additional insights for aural skills pedagogy.

Kay :
Montis, Kristine Kowitz.
Fleener, Jayne,
The results of this study substantiated aspects of the learning theories which were applied. It was observed, however, that classroom instruction was in many instances not consistent with such theories and in these cases Kay's learning difficulties were acerbated. Grounding of these theories in the exceptional case resulted not so much in revising the individual theories, but in highlighting the desirability of using multiple approaches.
This case study identified and described the impact of learning difficulties on the life-experiences of a 12 year old student named Kay. The study proceeded with an analysis of how Kay makes sense of her world and copes with her learning difficulties, particularly in the areas of mathematics and reading. Then constructivist, developmental, cognitive, and language/cultural learning theories were examined for elements which might be expected to positively impact Kay's learning process. The identified elements were implemented in an action research design using an intervention protocol during tutoring sessions over the 1996-97 school year.
The implications of this study include issues about (1) assumptions about common cultural experiences which are erroneous and therefore hinder the learning process, (2) the continuing disparity between what is known about learning and what actually takes place in classroom practice and (3) making mathematics accessible to students with learning difficulties.
In terms of school grades the four most dramatic observed changes were associated with (1) Explicit Instruction in Study Skills, (2) Memory Load Reduction, (3) Proactive Teaching, and (4) Pair-Reading with Discussion. Underlying the success of these interventions was the use of The Clinical Interview which aided in first understanding Kay's thought processes and then identifying appropriate interventions.
The results of this study centered around the ten types of interventions which were tried. In chronological order of when they were applied in this study, the ten interventions were: (1) Corrective Feedback; (2) The Clinical Interview; (3) Use of Visual Aids; (4) Pair-Reading with Discussion after Each Paragraph; (5) Use of Manipulatives; (6) Memory Load Reduction; (7) Proactive Teaching; (8) Metacognitive Strategies; (9) Calculators and Reference Charts; (10) Explicit Instruction in Study Skills.

Organizational civility: Issues, problems and solutions to creating environments of civility in the workplace.
Kimmel, David Charles.
Henderson, George,
Scholars have just begun to research the issue of incivility in the workplace. The research focusing on a proactive approach of creating civility is even more sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine if employees view incivility as a problem. If so, what do they think their role is in developing a more civil environment? Also, what do they think the organization's responsibilities are for establishing civil environments? This study utilized focus group research techniques as a qualitative research effort. The participants were from large bureaucratic companies in a moderate-sized southwestern city.
The term respect was most often used to discuss civility followed by the golden rule, responsibility, communication and politeness. The participants' statements indicate that the solutions to reducing incivility and creating civil environments involved issues of personal responsibility, leadership responsibility, and organizational guidance and policies consisting of: defining acceptable behavior, establishing policy, and enforcing rules, and communication and training.
The research findings indicate that employees do recognize incivility to be a problem. The terms most often used to discuss incivility were disrespect, violence and rudeness. The participants believed that the differences between people were the single most important cause of incivility followed by lack of training, lack of good people skills, differences in perception, and ego.
As a result of the literature review and the data collected, a definition of Organizational civility (OC) was developed to help direct future organizational attempts at creating civil environments. Organizational Civility is defined as: that aspect of the an organization's culture that embraces a norm of mutual respect and responsibility and enhances a person's ability to recognize their own behavior and its impact on the organization.

Solubilization of oil mixtures in anionic surfactant microemulsions.
Szekeres, Erika.
Harwell, Jeffrey H.,
Knox, Robert C.,
Surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation technology offers great potential to clean up oil contaminants. For oil mixture contaminants the remediation efficiency can vary significantly between the different oil components. To understand this behavior binary oil mixture solubilization in saturated oil/water/anionic surfactant microemulsion systems has been studied, using dissimilar oil components. Phase behavior, solubilization, and interfacial tension studies have been carried out with three model oil mixtures: TCE-acetone, benzene---limonene, and dodecanol---limonene. In the TCE-acetone mixture acetone diluted the surfactant monolayer at the oil/water interface reducing its solubilization ability. The optimum salinity was not affected by acetone, due to balanced acetone partitioning between the oil and water phases. Benzene-limonene and dodecanol-limonene mixture studies suggest that the semi-polar benzene and amphiphilic dodecanol is solubilized selectively in the oil domain of the microemulsion, close to the oil/water interface. Selectivity decreases with increasing electrolyte concentration and with increasing polar oil concentration. The excess polar oil solubilization follows a Langmuirian type adsorption trend. Studies of the dodecanol-limonene system suggest that the amount of oil solubilized at the palisade layer changes the curvature and the bending rigidity of the surfactant film. This in turn affects the optimum salinity and the oil solubilization ability of the microemulsion. These results are used to extend the net-average curvature model to predict solubilization of oil mixtures in microemulsions. Study and model results are used to explain why significant differences in the SEAR remediation efficiency of individual oil components could occur when the oil contaminant is a complex oil mixture.

Healthcare demand management system communication among the primary care provider, the beneficiary, and the nurse call center.
Ledlow, Gerald Ronald.
O'Hair, H. Dan,
The purpose of this study was to examine characteristics of communication in a managed care context. Nurse call centers were the focus of the study and several objectives were pursued. The study sought to determine the level of communication quality between patients (customers) and nurses in the call center. Secondly, the study was interested in examining the quality of communication between physicians and non-physician providers and the nurse call center from the provider's perspective. Measuring the timeliness, accuracy, usefulness, and quantity of communication, by survey instrument, provides a comprehensive picture of communication quality. As it was hypothesized, patients differ, these measures served as the independent variables for the study, in socioeconomic status, needs, experience, age, and various other factors, and their assessment and perception of nurse call center communication quality should differ. Likewise, providers who differ in training, special, and experience, should have different perceptions and expectations of communication. Also, location of the beneficiary and provider of care in relation to the nurse call center should have an impact on perceptions of communication quality.
Providers' communication quality needs were not met in this study. All dimensions of communication quality showed significant differences for provider perceptions of actual communication when compared to the provider ideal quality. Older providers and those who were distant to the nurse call center had higher timeliness dimension scores. Providers who were local, had internal medicine or ob/gyn specialties, and were 40 to 50 years old had lower quantity (excessive flow of information) scores. Dimensions of accuracy and usefulness revealed no significant predictors.
Female beneficiaries scored higher in the timeliness, accuracy, and usefulness communication quality dimensions. Beneficiaries with high health self-efficacy scored higher for the timeliness dimension than low self-efficacy subjects, although females with low health self-efficacy scored higher than males with high or low health self-efficacy. For the accuracy dimension, civilians and local beneficiaries scored higher than other groups. The low socio-economic group, civilian beneficiaries, and age groups 19 to 25 and 36 to 40 scored higher in the usefulness dimension than other groups. The quality communication dimension revealed no significant findings. Implications of the results and limitations of the study were discussed.

$elling $hakespeare: Cultural literacy/cultural capital .
Hodgson, John W.
Yoch, James J.,
The Shakespeare Industry is the meeting of the institutionalized Shakespeare with the forces of capitalism. The business of selling the works and name of the playwright is a centuries-old practice of which Shakespearean scholars are an integral part. The role of academics in literature and drama makes possible the ongoing conspicuous consumption of Shakespeare's works, a phenomenon largely ignored by the profession. Chapter One examines the relationships between the academy and several retail appropriations of Shakespeare. Chapter Two shows the symbiosis that arises between cinematic popularizers and academic guardianship. Chapter Three argues for a digital adaptation of Shakespeare by and for scholars as a means for re-appropriating Shakespeare for academic study.

Characterization of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms fundamental to receptor-mediated white blood cell accumulation.
Forlow, Stephen Bradley.
Nollert, Matthias Ulli,
The recruitment of circulating leukocytes to areas of infection and injury is an important aspect of the immune response process. Leukocytes initially attach to and roll on the activated endothelial cells lining the blood vessel wall. It has recently been shown in vitro that leukocyte-leukocyte interactions mediated by L-selectin and PSGL-1 enhance accumulation of cells. We have recreated these initial cell recruitment events in vitro using simplified systems. We have identified a novel mechanism that enables cell-cell interactions to occur which may contribute in the recruitment of cells. P-selectin-expressing platelet microparticles can act as a bridge between PSGL-1-expressing cells allowing them to interact. Platelet microparticle concentrations are elevated in many diseases and disorders; however, little work has been done to show if platelet microparticles play any role in clotting, cell aggregation, or cell accumulation. HL-60 cells or neutrophils in the presence of platelet microparticles were withdrawn over HL-60 cells prebound to a glass slide. We have shown that platelet microparticles can mediate cell aggregation, cell-cell interactions, and enhanced cell recruitment through cell-cell interactions. Increasing the concentration of platelet microparticles in the system resulted in an increase in the number of cell-cell interactions, an increase in the number and size of cell aggregates, an increase in the number of cell-cell interactions at higher shear stresses, and an increase in cell accumulation on the surface. We also analyzed the kinetic off-rate of the selectin adhesion molecules. We have measured the off-rate of P-, E-, and L-selectin in various systems including using lipid bilayers and CHO cells as the surface and using neutrophils, HL-60 cells, and pre-B cells as the circulating cell. The off-rates for P- and E-selectin were approximately the same; however, the off-rate for L-selectin was found to be much faster. The calculated off-rates were not dependent on how either the selectin or PSGL-1 was presented. This shows the off-rate is strongly dependent on the interactions between the molecules, but not strongly dependent on how the molecules are displayed on the surface. This also suggests that the kinetics are a result of the dissociation of the receptor-ligand bond and not the extraction of the receptor from the membrane.

Modifying social studies curriculum in the classroom: Case study regarding inclusive practices for engaging young adolescents in learning in the face of external constraints.
Todd, Reese Hansell.
Choido, John J.,
In studying this group of six teachers, four themes emerge to describe classroom practices to engage all students in learning. Teachers negotiate learning space to include diverse perspectives and cultural pluralism; teachers claim professional space for participating in an educational dialogue; teachers act from a belief in the democratic ideals of justice and fairness in obtaining access to equal opportunities in education for all students; and teachers imagine the legacy of their work lived out in the realization of the hopes and dreams of their students. In all their practices, successful teachers continually engage in processes of knowing, connecting, and imagining to enrich educative experiences for all learners.
Schools are in an awkward position today, balancing the expectations of multiple segments of society with their commitment to educating young persons. State leaders, in an effort to raise the academic achievement in public schools, have implemented a system of prescribed curriculum and assessments. While these reform initiatives have improved some school practices and performances, they have also denied some students access to full participation in the education programs of their schools. In response, teachers engage in practices to bring all their students into a learning environment that respects the cultural pluralism of American society.
Using cross-case analysis, this qualitative study documents the practices of six teachers in a mid-sized urban district as they investigate factors that limit educational opportunities and try to mend a growing fragmentation in their classrooms between students who are academically successful and those who are not. In modifying curriculum, ordinary teachers act on their belief in the democratic ideals of justice and fairness of opportunity to keep alive the hopes and dreams of the students in their community. Their resulting knowledge and insight about teaching and learning contribute to achieving the goals of citizenship in social studies education and strengthening the quality of education for all.

Fabrication and characterization of ordered arrays of nanostructures.
Larson, Preston.
Johnson, Matthew B.,
In this thesis, a combination of bottom-up and top-down approaches is explored to fabricate ordered arrays of nanostrucutures. The bottom-up approach involves the growth of self-organized porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) films. AAO films consist of a well ordered hexagonal array of close-packed pores with diameters and spacings ranging from around 5 to 500 nm. Via a top-down approach, these AAO films are then used as masks or templates to fabricate ordered arrays of nanostructures (i.e. dots, holes, meshes, pillars, rings, etc.) of various materials using conventional deposition and/or etching techniques. Using AAO films as masks allows a simple and economical method to fabricate arrays of structures with nano-scale dimensions. Furthermore, they allow the fabrication of large areas (many millimeters on a side) of highly uniform and well-ordered arrays of nanostructures, a crucial requirement for most characterization techniques and applications. Characterization of these nanostructures using various techniques (electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence, capacitance-voltage measurements, magnetization hysteresis curves, etc.) will be presented. Finally, these structures provide a unique opportunity to determine the single and collective properties of nanostructure arrays and will have various future applications including but not limited to: data storage, light emitting or sensing devices, nano-tribological coatings for surfaces, bio-sensors, filters, and more.
Nanostructures are currently of great interest because of their unique properties and potential applications in a wide range of areas such as opto-electronic and biomedical devices. Current research in nanotechnology involves fabrication and characterization of these structures, as well as theoretical and experimental studies to explore their unique and novel properties. Not only do nanostructures have the potential to be both evolutionary (state-of-the-art ICs have more and more features on the nanoscale) but revolutionary (quantum computing) as well.

Three-dimensional finite element modeling of two-phase fluid flow in deformable naturally fractured reservoirs.
Meng, Fanhong.
Roegiers, Jean-Claude,
The developed theoretical formulation and numerical model are validated against several cases where the analytical solutions or other model results are readily available. The performance of the numerical code is tested first by a couple of decoupled cases: elasticity and steady-state flow. The analytical solution for a single-phase single-porosity traditional consolidation problem is then used to verify the numerical algorithm for coupled poroelastic systems. Finally a fully coupled two-phase flow and solid deformation problem is presented to compare results from both the developed model and the finite difference model.
A three-dimensional finite element model is developed to study the two-phase fluid flow problems in the naturally fractured reservoirs. The numerical model is based on the rigorous conservation equations of momentum and mass, in which the solid deformations are lumped while the fluid pressures of the wetting and nonwetting phases are evaluated separately but linked through mass interchange terms for the two interactive media, i.e., matrix and fractures.
Several applications including traditional consolation problems and simulation of rock sample behavior tested in the laboratory are presented to illustrate additional performance and capability of the model. For simulating the rock sample characteristics, a series of studies have been carried out which include single-phase and two-phase fluid flow in both single-porosity and dual-porosity approaches.
The numerous unknowns are resolved through the finite element technique, which enables the solutions to be obtained in the general three-dimensional space domains and integration in time domains. The non-linear system of equations in the finite element model is solved using the direct iteration method, in which each iteration is controlled by the error analyses of the unknowns.

Retrospection on a baccalaureate degree in mid-life: What does it mean in a woman's life?
Kennedy, Rebecca J. M.
Vaughn, Courtney A.,
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 degrees continues to rise despite societal rewards that favor men in salary and position. Yet, the meaning and consequences of baccalaureate attainment among women who earn degrees in midlife is unarticulated in the public policy arena. An uninformed national higher education public policy agenda threatens to limit adult women from accessing higher education and deprives society of the contributions women have the potential to make. To address this issue, this phenomenological study of eight women explored the meanings and consequences of a baccalaureate in the life experiences of women 9 to 22 years after midlife degree attainment. Through higher education experiences, a majority of women were affirmed and nourished through relationships with others, grew in esteem and development of authentic selves, generated expectations for college completion in relationships with others, and experienced perspective transformations relevant to relationships critical to them. The formal higher education experience in some way was integral to change in the lives of all of the women. Finding suggest perspective transformation occurred for some, but not for all of the women. Perspective transformation was directly or indirectly tied to baccalaureate degree pursuit or attainment. For a woman whose worldview shifted, the change in the way she thought about her life was emancipatory. The participants who renegotiated or disconnected from oppressive or limiting primary relationships incrementally arrived at a perspective transformation. Her changed perspective subsequently guided her way of thinking about herself and shaped her decisions, permitting her growth and freedom in becoming authentic and self-fulfilled. Uncritically acquired meaning perspectives from cultural and parental sources powerfully influenced decisions in early adulthood. The majority of participants, most of the time, did not consciously recognize uncritically acquired meaning perspectives undergirding the decision to earn baccalaureate degrees. As transformative learning theorist Jack Mezirow (2000) posited, the women tended to depend on the meaning perspectives, acting on them uncritically in ways that maintained meaning perspectives. When a woman's meaning perspectives came into conflict with another of her meaning perspectives, she negotiated an accommodation or gave one priority over another without consciously examining the underlying assumptions of her meaning frames. In unconsciously choosing which meaning structure to give priority, participants chose a relational response. Participants attempted to negotiate an accommodation or to straddle the fence rather than disrupt critical relationship connections. When uncritically acquired meaning perspective served to suppress self authenticity, the affected woman tended to act to emancipate herself before consciously becoming aware of her meaning assumptions. The findings indicate midlife baccalaureate educated women are parlaying degrees into careers providing economic gain to society at large, encouraging others to attain degrees, and becoming move widely involved participants and contributors to society. A public policy higher education agenda responsive to the contributions midlife baccalaureate degreed women are making in society will design and implement strategies to increase the numbers of women accessing higher education and will develop strategies to curtail underutilization of women in the marketplace.

Investigation of ligand misdirection using the kinetic element effect and the kinetic enthalpy effect.
Alguindigue, Susan Stanislav.
Ashby, Michael T.,
Metal complexes were synthesized with the atropisomeric dabp. X-ray crystal structures were solved for [Ru(bipy)2(dabp)]2+ and [(eta6-C6H6)Ru(dabp)(Cl)]+. Only one diastereomer was observed for [Ru(bipy)2(dabp)] 2+ in the 1H NMR spectrum. Exchange was observed and measured for the ruthenium and osmium complexes of [(eta6-C 6H6)M(dabp)(Cl)]+.
[M(bipy)2(1,1'-biiq)]2+, [(eta6-C6H6)M(1,1'-biiq)(Cl)] +, [(eta6-C6H6)M(1,1 '-biiq)(I)]+ and [(eta6-C 6H6)M(dabp)(Cl)]+ (M = Ru, Os) are the only examples in the literature of third-row transition metal complexes having faster rates of atropisomerization than their second-row congegers. While the KEE varies among the 1,1'-biiq compounds, the KHE is nearly the same for each system. KHE may be a better indicator of the misdirected metal-ligand bond.
A comparison of the rates of isomerization of the ruthenium and osmium derivatives of [M(bipy)2(1,1'-biiq)] 2+, [(eta6-C6H6)M(1,1 '-biiq), [(eta6-C6H6)M(1,1 '-biiq)(I)]+, and [(eta6-C 6H6)M(dabp)(Cl)]+ has led to the introduction of the term Kinetic Element Effect (KEE). The KEE is the ratio of the rates of isomerization reactions of second-row and third-row metal-ligand complexes (KEE = k2nd/k3rd). A Kinetic Enthalpy Effect (KHE) can be defined as the ratio of enthalpy of activation for the third row and second-row atropisomerization reactions (KHE = DeltaH‡ 3rd /DeltaH‡ 2nd).
[(eta6-C6H6)M(1,1' -biiq)(X)]+ (M = Ru, Os; X = Cl, I) were synthesized. 1H NMR chemical shifts were assigned by 2D-COSY experiments. Exchange between enantiomers was observed by 2D-EXSY experiments. Rates of atropisomerization of the 1,1'-biiq ligand were measured for all four derivatives by NMR. Rates were found to be faster for the ruthenium derivatives than the osmium derivatives.
A series of Cp2Zr(Cl)(SR) (R = Methyl, ethyl, iso -propyl, tert-butyl) have been synthesized. The ground-state conformation that is adopted by these d0 metal compounds represent a compromise between stabilizing Mdpi-Sppi interactions and destabilizing R-Cp steric contact. The thiolate ligands in such complexes are therefore misdirected. Rotational barriers (DeltaG‡ ) about the Zr-S bond have been measured by 1H NMR for the first time. For (R = Methyl, ethyl, and iso-propyl, the barriers are proportional to the steric demand of the ligand and the bond strength of the metal-sulfur bond. A much lower barrier was measured for R = tert-butyl. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Popular participation in Cochabamba, Bolivia as an ameliorative policy treatment affecting public education.
Boyd, Tammy Marie.
Owens, J. Thomas,
Popular Participation is a public policy characterized by decentralization and devolution of responsibility and resources for a wide range of public services, including public education, from the national to the municipal level, with the objective to solve or ameliorate three historical and typical problems of Latin American developing nations: corruption in government interactions, lack of government legitimacy and an enduring rural/urban divide. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Bolivian Popular Participation law (1994) through policy study from 2000--2004, including fieldwork in Cochabamba, Bolivia, in 2002. The policy research focused on Popular Participation and successive policy initiatives that modified or impacted public services, particularly public education. The fieldwork in Cochabamba focused on civil society and government interactions regarding public education. This study finds that in the Bolivian response to development initiatives, Popular Participation is not functioning as intended. Rather than reducing corruption, the research found a tendency toward increased bureaucratization which nullified civil society's ability to monitor government. Rather than increasing the legitimacy of the government, the trend has been toward an increase in normalization of relations between government and civil society, in that the political space created by Popular Participation has been systematically marginalized or co-opted. The rural/urban divide has not been reduced; rather, the study reveals a tendency to recast active participation as passive observation, particularly in policy documents, and this passive observation occurs so late in the policy process as to be ineffective. Poststructuralist critiques of the development discourse offer a useful framework for understanding Popular Participation in the Bolivian context.

Children's literacy perceptions as they authored with hypermedia.
Goetze, Sandra Kay.
Konopak, Bonnie,
The first hypermedia project was based on one novel and the children authored in teams of two to create a stack-like presentation of their perceptions of the novel. The second project utilized an Internet web authoring to tool. The children applied their knowledge from learning the link authoring process to create a web-based project related to three novels they had read in class. The three novels were intertextually linked by a central social issue theme and formed the basis for the link authoring project.
Findings indicated that the children made a distinction between two types of literacy with regard to writing. Their definitions of literacy reflected both linear and non-linear types of reading and writing. Writing conventions utilized by the children included traditional writing and non-linear writing conventions and tools. Non-linear writing conventions and tools added to the meaning of documents based on the sign systems chosen by the children. The children constructed meaning within their documents through their use of semiotic sign systems. Notions of readability were redefined to reflect new definitions of literacy and included design and semiotic sign systems as a way to mean for the anticipated reader.
This study explored children's literacy perceptions as they authored with hypermedia within the context of classroom literacy lessons. The children authored two hypermedia projects and linked these projects to novels that they read in their classroom. The learners used two different multimedia link authoring tools to author. The hypermedia projects were based on critical literacy themes suggested by the children in the classroom.

Diatomic molecules as perturbed Morse oscillators and the effect of the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
El-kharadly, Laila Amin,
Values of the PMO parameters (including the velocity-dependent parameter) are obtained for the ground state of the three isotopic molecules H(, 2), HD and D(, 2) using two approaches. In the first approach, iteration computations are used to evaluate the different parameters from the experimentally derived Dunham coefficients. In the second approach, the PMO parameters are obtained by fitting the experimental energies directly in terms of the model parameters. The second approach is preferred to the first due to inaccuracies in the empirical Dunham coefficients.
The nonadiabatic corrections calculated using the present method for H(, 2) and D(, 2) are in agreement with those obtained using alternative methods. Moreover the present method proves very successful in predicting eigenvalues for HD which are in a very good agreement with the experimental ones.
The perturbed Morse oscillator is modified by adding a velocity-dependent term to allow for the nonadiabatic correction due to the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. A recurrence formula for this velocity-dependent term is derived. This formula is then used to derive--via a perturbation calculation--explicit expressions for the Dunham coefficients which include the nonadiabatic corrections.

A study of female commanders in the United States Army: Culture, command and the women who lead.
Kellett-forsyth, Susan Puanani.
Copeland, Gary W.,
Organizational changes occurred at the individual level through the development of personal relationships. Organizational changes were manifested in several ways. Organizational changes occurred through personal interaction and demonstrated ability. Organizational changes were seen as reactions to women in nontraditional jobs became more routine and less of a major, out of the ordinary event. The study's participants described how they felt the Army had changed during their time in the organization. Organizational changes were implied by the actions of the male leaders who made decisions that promoted the integration and advancement of women in the organization. Organizational changes were seen in the different approaches to the debate concerning women in the combat arms.
This study has three major implications. The first implication concerns the overly simplistic nature of the Schein/Lewin change model and addresses its efficacy in accounting for individual and organizational changes. The second implication deals with organizational change and the realization that the military organization is unlikely to fundamentally change in the near or distant future. Finally, the third implication addresses what the future may hold for women in military organizations.
This study's focus is on women who have chosen the Army as a career and who have continued to progress through its hierarchy, achieving command at battalion and brigade levels. The investigation centers on the strategies these women developed to cope, adapt, and better fit in a predominantly male organization during a process of integration. While the main focus is on the individual in a military environment, this study also considers the impact the individual may have had on the organization, and the changes that may have occurred as a result. Schein's elaboration of Lewin's change model is used as a way to explain and understand how the individual, both male and female, and the organization may have changed.
Individual changes were considered in the analysis of the strategies used in the development of a workable persona. These strategies include being tough, being feminine, working harder, regendering and organizational fit.
This study relied on a qualitative research strategy with semi-structured interviews as the primary method of inquiry.
