A Novel Synthesis of N, N', N''-Trisubstituted Guanidines - Gavin, D.F.; Schnabel, W.J.; Kober, E.; Robinson, M.A. (Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1967)
The action of phosgene on N, N'-disubstituted ureas is described in literature as giving a variety of products depending upon the reaction conditions. However, in no instance has the formation of N, N', N''-trisubstituted guanidines been reported from the above reaction. A novel synthesis is now presented in which these aforementioned guanidines are obtained. This reaction involves the phosgenation of N, N'-dialkyl- or N-alkyl-N'-arylureas at temperatures between 110 and 120° in an inert solvent such as monochlorobenzene. In the case of symmetrically disubstituted alkylureas, the N, N', N''-trialkylguanidines in the form of their hydrochloride salts are obtained. Unsymmetrically substituted ureas upon phosgenation also give guanidines, the type of which, in terms of their substituents, is dependent upon the ability of the urea nitrogen to act as a nucleophile as well as the steric nature of the substituent itself. Thus, phosgenation of N-cyclohexyl-N'-phenylurea gives N, N'-dicyclohexyl-N''-phenylguanidine exclusively. In cases where the substituents on nitrogen atoms of the urea molecule are alike in electron-donating abilities, product distributions are obtained, as with Ncyclohexyl-N'-isopropylurea. Where one urea nitrogen is strongly deactivated, as with N-cyclohexyl-N'-trifluoroethylurea, there is no indication of guanadine formation. Different types of compounds are isolated from these reactions. A mechanism is proposed to account for these observed patterns. Copyright © 1967, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.

An interpersonal skills workshop for preparing special education teachers - Gerber, S.A.; Drezek, S. (Education and the Training of the Mentally Retarded, 1977)
The findings in this study that self reported acceptance of self and others and interpersonal skills increased following the Workshop must themselves be regarded within the limitations of a small sample, an analysis of only one leader's group participants, measurements by ratings, and a quasi experimental design. Nevertheless, human relations training appears to be a valuable component to program more systematically into teacher education. Work in developing specific training goals and procedures relevant to personal growth as related to competence in the classroom is the next step. The fact that such a short training program could affect the way student teachers feel about themselves should encourage further research and experimentation.

Coordination behavior of the N-hydroxyethyliminoacetate ion - Horrigan, P.; Canelli, R.A.; Kashmann, J.R.; Hoffmann, C.A.; Bauer, R.; Boston, D.R.; Bailar, J.C. (Inorganic Chemistry, 1974)
Several cobalt(III) complexes of the V-hydroxyethyliminodiacetate ion (“heida”) have been prepared. Infrared and nmr studies, as well as exchange studies with D2O, show that the ligand tends to be tridentate and that the alcoholic hydroxyl group does not coordinate. Moreover, the alcoholic group in the complex can be acetylated without destruction of the complex. However, in [Co(en)(heida)]0, the alcoholic OH loses its proton, and the ligand becomes trinegative and tetradentate. © 1974, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.

"Facilitation of Stereoscopic Depth Perception by a Relative-Size Cue in Ambiguous Disparity Stereograms": Erratum - Fineman, M.B. (Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972)
Reports an error in the original article by Mark B. Fineman (Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1971[Oct], 90[2]], 215-221). Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 on pp. 216 and 217 were shown inverted. This mistake made it appear that Stimulus 1 was Stimulus 2, and that Stimulus 3 was Stimulus 4, and that the four stimuli were upside down. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record.) Proposed that the cue of relative size may facilitate depth perception in accordance with a crossed or uncrossed disparity in stereograms in which both tendencies are equally represented. A concurrent concept was that the latency associated with the perception of depth in random-dot stereograms may be due, in part, to a cue conflict between binocular disparity and relative size. 4 male and 2 female graduate students were given 8 presentations of 5 stereographic stimuli, in which disparity was ambiguous but relative size was systematically altered. Ss were tested for direction of depth preferences and response latency. Both the relative-size effects and an uncrossed disparity bias were evidenced in the data. The latter effect was attributed to binocular rivalry between dissimilar elements in the stereoscopic half-fields. It is concluded that depth cue relationships are more complex than had been suggested by simple dominance theories.

A study of H-spaces via left translations - Nowlan, R.A. (Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 1971)
H-spaces are examined by studying left translations, actions and a homotopy version of left translations to be called homolations. If (F, m) is an H-space, the map s: F-→FF given by s(x) = Lx, i.e. s(x) is left translation by x, is a homomorphism if and only if m is associative. In general, s is an An-map if and only if (F, m) is an An+1 space. The action r: FF × F → F is given by r(φ, x) = φ(x). The map s respects the action only of left translations. In general, s respects the action of homolations up to higherorder homotopies. Each homolation generates a family of maps to be called a homolation family. Denoting the set of all homolation families by H∞(F), s: F -→ FF factors through F → H∞(F) and this latter map is a homotopy equivalence. © 1971 Pacific Journal of Mathematics.

Social problems related to the development of health in Ethiopia - Messing, S.D. (Social Science and Medicine, 1970)
The relationship between the development of public health programs and "social problems" is of increasing concern to students of social and cultural problems. Health is obviously related to the availability of good nutrition, essential in building resistance against contagious diseases that form the bulk of preventable health problems in underdeveloped countries. Good nutrition, in turn, is dependent upon availability of agricultural products, basic income to buy them, and education to utilize them properly. This article attempts to trace, briefly, some of the etiology of these interrelated problems in a country in which traditional values have not been distorted by a foreign-established colonial period, and which has experienced only superficial change in modern times. This makes it possible to view relationships more clearly than in other underdeveloped countries where they may exist in more complex forms. © 1970.

Fractal Feature Analysis and Classification in Medical Imaging - Chen, C.-C.; Daponte, J.S.; Fox, M.D. (IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 1989)
Following Mandelbrot's fractal theory, it was found that the fractal dimension could be obtained in medical images by the concept of fractional Brownian motion. An estimation concept for determination of the fractal dimension based upon the concept of fractional Brownian motion was discussed. Two applications were found: 1) classification; 2) edge enhancement and detection. For the purpose of classification, a normalized fractional Brownian motion feature vector was defined from this estimation concept. It represented the normalized average absolute intensity difference of pixel pairs on a surface at different scales. The feature vector used relatively few data items to represent the statistical characteristics of the medical image surface and was invariant to linear intensity transformation. Finally, by calculating normalized fractional Brownian motion feature vectors in five different ultrasonic image surfaces, it was found that the classification of normal and abnormal ultrasonic liver images could be obtained from the differences between their feature vectors. For edge enhancement and detection application, a transformed image was obtained by calculating the fractal dimension of each pixel over the whole medical image. The fractal dimension value of each pixel was obtained by calculating the fractal dimension of a 7 x 7 pixel block centered on this pixel. Preliminary results using projection radiographs suggest that the fractal based image transformation appears to hold promise as an edge enhancement and preprocessing algorithm that does not increase noise in the way that gradient operators do. © 1989 IEEE

Statistical classification of ultrasonic image texture - DaPonte, John S.; Gelber, Joel; Fox, Martin D. (Bioeng Proc Northeast Conf, 1989)
Qualitative analysis is important because it is not subjective and does not have the potential for variation from one observer to another. A description is given of how statistical hypothesis testing can be used to select the quantitative descriptors best capable of distinguishing between normal and abnormal liver texture. Information is also presented on how both parametric and nonparametric discriminant analysis can be applied to determine how well the quantitative analysis compares with the qualitative diagnosis supplied for each case studied.

The nature of geography and the Schaefer-Hartshorne debate - Martin, G.J. (Reflections on Richard Hartshorne's "The nature of geography', 1989)
The tendency by geographers to cast Hartshorne as either hero or villain in modern American geography is clearly represented in this essay considering the Hartshorne-Schaefer controversy, a dispute of almost mythical proportions in the modern history of American geography. Through analysis of unpublished and published documents, the author provides us with a wealth of historical information concerning the relation between the two antagonists and the events surrounding the publication of their methodological statements. The reportage has an additional, illocutionary impact that derives from the introduction of historical specificities into the discussion of mythologized events. The description and evaluation of the events surrounding this episode in American geography, especially its portrayal of spatial analysts in the uncharacteristic role of loyal sentimentalists, will probably add fuel to the dying embers of this controversy. -from Editors

Interleukin-1 induces time-dependent potentiation in isolated rat islets: Possible involvement of phosphoinositide hydrolysis - Zawalich, W.S.; Dierolf, B.; Zawalich, K.C. (Endocrinology, 1989)
Prior exposure of isolated perifused rat islets to the monokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) amplifies their subsequent insulin secretory response to 10 mM glucose. This potentiating effect of the monokine is dose dependent, lasts for at least 45 min after IL-1 removal from the medium, and is not confined to glucose; IL-1 also potentiates the insulin secretory responses to tolbutamide and glyceraldehyde. IL-1 exposure of islets incubated with myo-[2â€ 3H]inositol to label their phosphoinositides (PI) results in an increase in [3H]inositol efflux, an event that persists long after removal of IL-1 from the medium. Direct measurements of labeled inositol phosphate accumulation substantiate the concept that this sustained [3H] inositol efflux response is the direct result of a sustained increase in PI hydrolysis. These results expand the list of compounds that induce time-dependent potentiation in islets to include IL-1. This action of the monokine, mediated at least in part by Pi-derived second messenger molecules, may contribute to its postulated effects on insulin and glucose homeostasis. © 1989 by The Endocrine Society.

Effect of cooccurrence displacement vector on quantitating ultrasonic image texture - DaPonte, John S.; Gelber, Joel; Fox, Martin D. (Bioeng Proc Northeast Conf, 1988)
While cooccurrence matrices have been shown to be helpful in quantitating image texture, the amount of data associated with them can rapidly become unmanageable because a separate cooccurrence matrix can be calculated for each displacement vector chosen. Here, a method for choosing the direction of the displacement vector that is based on the most dominant edge obtained from gradient analysis is discussed. Also, the anatomy of the liver is used to suggest the most important intersample spacing in constructing cooccurrence matrices for the evaluation of diffuse liver disease.

The Roman Limekilns of the Bamboccianti - Levine, D.A. (The Art Bulletin, 1988)
Pieter van Laer and his followers — the so-called Bamboccianti — have usually been interpreted as realists or near-realists who painted simple, unassuming scenes of everyday life in seventeenth-century Rome. The testimony of their earliest critics gives us reason to suspect, however, that the Bamboccianti were actually pursuing a contrived form of painting that expressed meaning through irony and paradox. This idea is tested by examining one theme treated frequently by the artists in question — limekilns in Roman settings. By witty allusion to both the destruction and persistence of antiquity, pictures of Roman limekilns lead the viewer to contemplate a paradox regarding the nature of greatness and eternity. © 1988, College Art Association of America, Inc.

Fast Hartley Transforms for Spectral Analysis of Ultrasound Doppler Signals - Paik, C.H.; Cote, G.L.; DaPonte, J.S.; Fox, M.D. (IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1988)
Spectral analysis of Doppler ultrasound has been known to yield valuable information to assess the state of circulation in the peripheral blood vessels. In the past, the raw Doppler data have been directly input into a dedicated spectrum analyzer or, more recently, transformed on a microcomputer with the fast Fourier technique. The fast Hartley technique is used to transform these data. The Hartley transform has the advantages of being a purely real-numbered transform, and therefore for real Doppler data, is not only more conceptually straightforward, but also requires less computer memory, is simpler to calculate, and is better suited to large-scale integration implementation. © 1988 IEEE

Gray Level Histogram Analysis of Ultrasonic Images on a Microcomputer Based System. - DaPonte, John S.; Fox, Martin D. (IEEE/Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Annual Conference 9th., 1987)
Recent developments in image digitization have made possible a more quantitative analysis of ultrasonic imagery of the liver, which could lead to a more sensitive method for changes in liver texture as an aid in the diagnosis of liver disease. The approach described is the statistical analysis of one-dimensional intensity (gray-level) histograms obtained from B-mode ultrasonic images. First-order statistical parameters are used to characterize the location, variability, skewness and kurtosis of the histograms. One typical normal study and one typical abnormal study are presented to shown the type of results that have been obtained.

Economic Specification of Cost Estimates in Dental Programs - Doherty, N.J.G.; Crakes, G.M. (Journal of Dental Research, 1985)
This paper compares two approaches to the estimation of costs in dental care programs: a conventional approach and an approach based on theoretical expectations. The conventional approach typically uses a linear extrapolation of an average figure - e.g., cost per visit - over various program sizes and thus predicts constant costs. Constant costs are, however, theoretically implausible, and it should be anticipated that their use in program planning or analysis would generate biased estimates. This hypothesis is examined using annual costs and visits from a group of uniform clinics over a five-year period. Results show that costs calculated by the conventional method are underestimated at low volumes and increasingly overestimated at higher volumes. The findings, which illustrate how inefficiency can inadvertently be incorporated into program design, have implications for cost-effectiveness of dental care delivery in the public sector. © 1985, SAGE Publications.

Personal Computer Applications Course. - Workman, Robert (1984 ACM Twelfth Annual Computer Science Conference: The Future of Computing, CSC '84 and SIGCSE Symposium, 1984)
A personal computer applications course has been developed. This course is a follow up to an introductory programming course for non-computer science majors. The primary objective of the course is to introduce the major personal computer applications areas: operating system use, word processing, spreadsheet programming, data base management, and communications. For each area, there will be a discussion of its use and related problems. Students will use a representative and a comparison will be made with other systems. The course will be taught using Apple IIe's or Commodore 64 computers. A course outline has been created and approved. The course will be offered for the first time in the Spring of 1984. Budget considerations, the practical difficulties involved with students using copyrighted software, and a desire to have students leave with software they can take with them, make it attractive to use public domain software when possible. Current research is directed towards finding and documenting public domain software for use in this course. Principal sources being investigated are the program libraries of personal computer users groups and educational cooperatives.

Frequency and duration effects on perceptions of rise-time rate - Sansone Jr., F.E. (IRCS Medical Science, 1983)
The ability to accurately perceive the acoustic correlate of glottal attack, phonatory onset rise-time rate, can be diagnostically critical for speech pathologists conducting voice function examinations. Signal onset duration may serve as a cue in these perceptions because an inverse relationship exists between onset duration and rise-time rate. Other acoustic information such as frequency, present during voice initiation, might also affect phonatory onset rise-time perceptions. This study was designed to determine if listeners can detect duration related rise-time rate differences in the presence of variable frequency. Listeners accurately detected rise-time rates associated with onset duration differences independent of the frequency variable. A significant duration effect was revealed with no frequency or variable interaction effects. All judgement means were significantly different from one another. It was determined that as stimulus onset duration decreased, onset rise-time rate was perceived to occur more rapidly.

Microcomputer data management in an introductory physics laboratory - Chonacky, N. (American Journal of Physics, 1982)
A microcomputer/mini-floppy disk system is used by students in the laboratory portion of an introductory physics course for science majors. Its purposes are to store their experimental data, do data analyses, and exchange messages with the lab instructor. The system also provides computer-assisted instruction (CAI) simulations of certain lab experiments, and interfaces with measuring equipment in certain experiments. Each student has a personal diskette for data files and basic utility programs for an entire semester. The ease of disk data manipulation under program control is exploited in the following ways: (i) a wide variety of data reduction techniques are introduced that permit quantitative comparisons between experimental results and theoretical expectations; (ii) facile data reduction and analyses permit preliminary processing of experimental data during the course of the lab period, so that decisions can be made by students concerning the course of the remainder of the experiment; (iii) accumulated data from various experiments become a course database permitting subsequent analyses of old data adapted in several different logical ways (e.g., RC curcuit data first treated as energy storage, later as one of a number of exponential relationships); (iv) comprehensive course database formed by merging regarding the reliability of experiments. These considerations favor laboratory goals different from the demonstration and confirmation of given physical laws. Specifically they inculcate critical thinking and hypothetico-deductive reasoning. I discuss several very real problem areas that plagued this novice and compromised implementation. I compare these problems with the qualitative improvements in laboratory learning. © 1982, American Association of Physics Teachers. All rights reserved.

Effects of electronic voice intensity monitoring on hard glottal attack - Sansone Jr., F.E. (IRCS Medical Science, 1982)
An electronic device capable of monitoring the rate at which voice intensity increases during voice onset provides an indicator of the abruptness of phonatory initiation. Two groups of 8 subjects were taught to reduce the abruptness of glottal attack. Group A used a seven step program employing the electronic monitor while Group B used the same seven step program but with a traditional approach to the reduction of abrupt glottal attack substituted for monitor use. Both groups used a self-instruct teaching paradigm. Subject recordings of pre and post program production of five voice onset moments were submitted to sonographic amplitude analysis and a time/intensity slope ratio was calculated for each. Further, the pre and post program recordings were judged for abruptness of glottal attack. Post program slope ratios and attack judgments were significantly different (p < 0.01) from pre program data for Group A only. These data suggest that electronic monitoring was effective in producing gradual phonatory initiation.

Satellite cloud analyses for a radiation model. - Parikh, J.A.; Ball, J.T. (Pattern recognition in practice. Proc. workshop Amsterdam, May 1980, 1980)
Pattern recognition techniques for cloud type and cloud amount classification were applied to digital infrared SMS-1 data. The cloud classification results were used in a numerical radiation model to determine solar radiation during Phase III of the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment. In order to assess the effects on radiation computations of cloud information derived from both satellite and ship data, cloud analyses based on both data sources were prepared for input into the numerical radiation model. -from Authors

The road not taken: an integrative theoretical model of reading disability. - Spear-Swerling, L.; Sternberg, R.J. (Journal of learning disabilities, 1994)
This article describes a theoretical model of reading disability that integrates a wide range of research findings in cognitive psychology, reading, and education across the age and grade span. The model shows how reading disability relates to normal reading acquisition, and includes four possible patterns of reading disability: nonalphabetic readers, compensatory readers, nonautomatic readers, and readers delayed in the acquisition of word-recognition skills. We compare our model to the models of other investigators and argue that our model is especially useful to practitioners. Finally, we discuss some of the educational implications of the model.

Nursing Diagnosis in Home Care: Audit Tool Development - Zink, M.R. (Journal of Community Health Nursing, 1994)
Little research has been done to document the value of using nursing diagnosis in home care and the impact that increased acuity levels have had in diagnostic selection. Nursing diagnosis documentation in home care was examined to see whether it had a relation to select client and visit pattern variables. This retrospective chart audit, which piloted a newly developed instrument called the Home Care Audit Tool, utilized a sample of 199 closed records of a large midwestem Visiting Nurse Association. The mean age of the client population was 76 years, with 64% female. There were 269 initial nursing diagnoses cited in the sample records, averaging 1.75 diagnoses per case. The number of recorded visits increased when select nursing diagnoses were cited together in a single case. © 1994, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.

Practices in concurrent engineering - Ellis, L.W.; Curtis, C.C. (Proceedings 1992 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference: Managing in a Global Environment, IEMC 1992, 1992)
To describe concurrent engineering, one must remember the old story of blind individuals attempting to characterize an elephant by feeling different body parts. The issue seems not to be just R&D cycle times, but the entire innovation cycle time process from conception of an idea ~ often in marketing not R&D -, to its final delivery to a customer - often through down-stream firms not under the R&D company's control. From the recency of many sources in the literature, this shift to a time orientation is itself rather recent. Two threads seem to have emerged: First, there is a need to address cycle-time reduction on existing products and services, both in manufacturing and administration, as an implementation management issue relating to the order-to-delivery cycle, in which engineering may be a limited associate. Also, necessary is the innovation management issue of reducing the cycle time from marketing concept to proquct introduction into the implementation process, which is the main thrust of concurrent engineering. In late 1991, a survey was conducted, first, to seek to establish a better working definition of cycle time within the two overall areas of current operations and new product development, and second, to determine the relationships between cycle time so defined and company size or profitability. The survey questionnaire was mailed to 99 medium-to-large high technology manufacturing companies in Connecticut, and yielded 48 responses, with 35 of them usable. The results confirmed the impression given by the literature that the concept was better established in current operations than in innovation management. While some do use the concept of cycle time in their new product development sub-cycles, most do not track time spent on either end of the cycle, from idea to design on the near end, or at the far end through shipment and subsequent service to the customer. Measures of size did not correlate with any of the development measures, while they did with some of the operations measures. Thus, while in concept, concurrent engineering appears to be a goal of multi-functional co-operation, a survey of the manner in which a limited number of firms actually operate seems still focused on functional specializations. © 1992 IEEE.

Choice Behavior in Transition: Development of Preference With Ratio and Interval Schedules - Mazur, J.E. (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1992)
In Experiment 1, the choice responses of 8 pigeons were observed during 50 periods of transition. Each condition began with equal probabilities of reinforcement on 2 response keys and switched to unequal probabilities. With the ratio of the 2 probabilities held constant, preference for the higher probability developed more rapidly when the 2 probabilities were high than when they were low. In Experiment 2, each condition began with 2 equal variable-interval schedules, but later 1 key delivered 60%, 75%, or 90% of the reinforcers. The rate of approach to asymptotic performance was roughly the same with all 3 reinforcement percentages. These and previous results pose difficulties for some well-known models of acquisition, but the results are well described by a simple model that states that the strength of each response is independently increased by reinforcement and decreased by nonreinforcement.

Systolic architectures for parallel Fourier transform - Baradaran-Seyed, T.; Johnson, L.G.; Karimi, B. (Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 1991)
New systolic architectures are proposed for the computation of the Fourier transform based on the generation of the coefficients of the transform during the computation. These architectures require less input/output pins on the chip. The new architectures are also extremely modular and cascadeable, thus, amenable for efficient VLSI implementation. VLSI complexity of the architectures are compared with the existing parallel architectures. © 1992 IEEE.

Extending health care to afdc recipients who obtain jobs: Results of a demonstration - Rofuth, T.W.; Weiss, H. (Health and Social Work, 1991)
This study investigated the outcomes of a demonstration project that provided free medical coverage to former Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients who were holding jobs with limited or no health benefits. Data were collected on the Medicaid expenditures of 54 eligible participants and their dependents for up to two years before they exited welfare; the expenditures averaged 56 percent less for adults and 45 percent less for children than the respective AFDC averages for the county. Because only 22 percent of the eligible participants took advantage of the program, telephone interviews also were conducted with 24 people who did not participate in or dropped out of the health plan. The main reasons cited for not enrolling were a misunderstanding of the program, a claim that no notification of the program was received, and a lack of interest. These results and their policy implications are presented in the context of the Family Support Act's mandate that states extend medical assistance coverage to AFDC recipients whose cases are closed because of employment. © 1991 by the National Association of Social Workers, Inc.

Preliminary study of effect of decision making on locus of control among prison inmates - Murphy, D.G. (Psychological Reports, 1990)
To study the effect of teaching decision-making to inmates in a maximum security facility on locus of control 19 adult male inmates who were incarcerated at a community correctional center were pre- and posttested on the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. In this preliminary study there was no statistically significant difference at pretest or posttest so teaching decision-making skills in group settings versus teaching in a group combined and one-to-one contact did not affect locus of control as measured. This personality trait appears stable over time and a more thorough means of intervention is required to effect change.

Habitat and spatial relationships of nesting Swainson's Hawks (Buteo swainsoni) and red-tailed hawks (B. jamaicensis) in northern Utah - Bosakowski, T.; Kamsey, R.D.; Smith, D.G. (Great Basin Naturalist, 1996)
A total of 28 Swainson's Hawk (Buteo swainsoni) and 30 Red-tailed Hawk (B. jamaicensis) nests were found in Cache Valley. Utah, during the summers of 1992 and 1993. All nests were in trees, but only Red-tailed Hawks nested in dead trees (30%). In the intensive study area, nesting densities were 0.10 nests/km2 for Swainson's Hawk and 0.08 nests/km2 for Red-tailed Hawk. Nearest-neighbor nest distances were significantly shorter among Swainson's Hawks (1.74 km) than among Red-tailed Hawks (2.83 km). Congeneric nearest- neighbor distances were significantly shorter than conspecific distances for Red-tailed Hawks (1.59 vs. 2.83 km) but not for Swainson's Hawks (1.52 vs. 1.74 km). GIS analysis of habitat types was made for 2-km radii around nest sites. Cropland was the dominant land cover type of nest sites of both species and no significant difference was found between species. Swainson's Hawk nest sites contained significantly more pasture, whereas Red-tailed nest sites contained significantly more juniper, maple, and sagebrush. Only Red- tailed Hawk nests (n=8; 27%) were found on the periphery of the valley at the base of foothills of the Cache Mountains. This preference resulted in a significantly higher elevation for Red-tailed Hawk nest sites. Swainson's Hawk nests occurred only on the valley floor on level terrain. Distance to the nearest paved road and building was very similar for both species, implying that little difference exists in tolerance levels for human activities. Overall, multivariate niche overlap for habitat was high (0.89), indicating a lack of habitat partitioning between these 2 Buteos in Cache Valley.

Group hunting forays of wintering Northern Harriers, Circus cyaneus: An adaption of juveniles? - Bosakowski, T.; Smith, D.G. (Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1996)
The social interactions of a wintering population of Northern Harriers (Circus cyaneus) were studied in the Hackensack Meadowlands tidal marshes in New Jersey. Juvenile harriers were numerically dominant in the population and participated in hunting groups significantly more often than adult males or females. Group sizes varied from 2-4 birds (total groups observed = 66 duets, five trios and two quartets). The occasional inclusion of adults in a foraging group was usually the result of juveniles following the adult, presumably for the parasitic benefits of grabbing flushed prey or exploiting high yield foraging patches. Our observations suggested a non-territorial wintering harrier population documented by observations of 3-6 different individuals frequently hunting the same 12-ha area each day as well as random use of our study quadrats (3-ha) by individuals of all sexes and ages. Territorial defense was observed in only one adult female, which infrequently attempted to defend a territory. Overall, the prevalence of group-foraging behavior is consistent with the general lack of winter territory in this population.

Interpersonal conflict from a younger point of view: Exploring the perspectives of children - Hale, C.L.; Farley-Lucas, B.; Tardy, R.W. (International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, 1996)
This study breaks from traditional adult-centered models of interpersonal conflict by privileging children’s experiences. As part of an assessment for establishing a school-based peer mediation program, focus group interviews were conducted with second graders through high school students. Analysis focuses on the sites (causes), signs, and aftermath (or responses) of conflict. Children’s impressions regarding fairness and gender differences are also addressed. With respect to the sites and signs of conflict, the main themes that were found include conflict as a product of the spoken word and conflict as a dirty look. Additionally, a symbolic representation of these intrusions emerged in the metaphor of conflict as an explosion. Analysis of the children's discussions concerning the aftermath of conflicts revealed four general themes: confronting, seeking involvement of third parties, ignoring others, and treating others with kindness. Differences in the children’s perceptions of gender-based differences are explored as are their perceptions of the construct of “fairness” and its associated dictates in favor of equality of treatment, struggles with inferiority/superiority, and expression of conflict as a betrayal. © 1996, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

A profile analysis of psychopathology in clusters of depersonalization types - Jacobs, J.R.; Bovasso, G. (Dissociation, 1996)
Five types of depersonalization experiences based on scales developed by Jacobs and Bovasso (1992) were used to cluster subjects into six groups. Four relatively small groups which had regular depersonalization experiences were identified: the Derealized, the Self-negating, the Body-detached, and the Profoundly Depersonalized. The fifth group, the Fleetingly Depersonalized, and the sixth group, the Non-depersonalized, constituted 25% and 50% of the population, respectively. A profile analysis indicated qualitative differences between the six groups in their pathological traits, which fell along a continuum of pathological severity. The results support the validity of a multidimensional depersonalization construct which may clarify some of the contradictions and inconsistencies in the literature on depersonalization. Further, the results may facilitate clinicians' differentiation of their patients along a continuum of pathological severity based on the type and frequency of depersonalization experiences which they report.

Academic preparation of athletic trainers as counselors - Misasi, S.P.; Davis Jr., C.F.; Morin, G.E.; Stockman, D. (Journal of Athletic Training, 1996)
Athletic trainers have assumed several roles and responsibilities over the years, but perhaps there is no more important role than that of a counselor. Are they prepared to do so? One hundred and thirty-two modified Revised Wylie Inventories were mailed to college/university athletic trainers to examine their educational preparation and experiences with counseling in various areas. Most athletic trainers surveyed reported that they were predominantly counseling in the areas of injury prevention, injury rehabilitation, and nutrition, and felt academically prepared to do so. However, it was reported that preparation to counsel in other less common areas (eg, family matters, financial matters, etc) was not adequately addressed in academic programs. The athletic trainers surveyed sought continuing education in order to meet the other counseling needs of student-athletes. Although they used several psychological referral services, it was apparent that most athletic trainers frequently served as counselors on many nonorthopedic topics. We suggest that athletic training educators consider incorporating both academic knowledge and clinical experience in a wider variety of counseling areas into their curricula.

Experiences in parallel/distributed computing for undergraduate computer science majors - Parikh, J.A. (ASEE Annual Conference Proceedings, 1996)
The increasing prevalence of multiprocessor and distributed systems in modern society is making it imperative to introduce the underlying principles of parallel/distributed computing to students at the undergraduate level. In order to meet the needs of our students for training in this critical area, the Computer Science Department at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) is currently in the process of implementing a curricular and laboratory development project that integrates key concepts and practical experiences in parallel computing throughout the undergraduate curriculum. The goal of this project is to build a strong foundation in parallel computing which would optionally culminate in advanced, senior-level specialized courses in parallel computing and/or senior research projects. This paper describes the laboratory facility we developed to support instruction in parallel and distributed computing and the parallel computing modules which were incorporated into three of our core undergraduate courses: data structures, operating systems, and programming languages. The laboratory facility enables us to provide our students with "hands-on" experiences in shared memory, distributed memory, and network parallelism. The modules and laboratory exercises give students the opportunity to experiment with a wide array of software and hardware environments and to gain a systematic exposure to the principles and techniques of parallel programming.

Nonnegativity results for generalized q-binomial coefficients - Fishel, S. (Discrete Mathematics, 1995)
Let q be a prime number. The number of subgroups of order qk in an abelian group G of order qn and type λ is a polynomial in q, [kλ′]q. In 1987, Lynne Butler showed that the first difference, [kλ′] - [k - 1λ′], has nonnegative coefficients as a polynomial in q, when 2k ≤ |λ|. We generalize the first difference to the rth difference, and give conditions for the nonnegativity of its coefficients. © 1995.

Case study: Isokinetic rehabilitation of a ruptured biceps tendon - Martens, D.W.; Axtell, R.S.; Stofan, J.R. (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 1995)
A 37-year-old male ruptured the distal biceps brachii tendon performing a gymnastics routine. At Week 8 postsurgery, a bilateral isokinetic test demonstrated a 64 and 50% (at 60° • s-1and 300° • s-1) peak torque deficit between uninjured and injured arms during elbow flexion. The subject participated in a concentric isokinetic exercise program 3 days a week for 4 months. At 1 year postsurgery a bilateral test demonstrated a 14% deficit in peak torque at 60° • s-1, and faster test velocities of 180° • s-1and 300° • s-1indicated higher torques for the injured biceps muscle. The rehabilitation program returned the ruptured biceps to a level of concentric strength nearly equivalent to the contralateral limb at the velocities tested. © 1995 National Strength & Conditioning Association.

Caring for a young child in a body cast: Impact on the care giver - Newman, D.M.L.; Fawcett, J. (Orthopaedic Nursing, 1995)
Data from an open-ended questionnaire and the comments section of a structured questionnaire were combined and ana-lyzed to determine the challenges faced and alterations in usual daily activities required by mothers caring for a young child at home in a body cast. The sample consisted of 35 mothers who identified themselves as the primary care givers of a child in a body cast. The challenges of caring for a child in a body cast required major adjustments in almost every aspect of the mothers' lives, including household activities, social and community activities, child care activities, personal care activities, occupational activities, and educational activities. © 1995 National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses.

Managerial resistance to change: Romania’s quest for a market economy - Catana, D.; Catana, A.; Finlay, J.L. (Journal of East European Management Studies, 1999)
This exploratory investigation relates traditional theories on resistance to change to privatization of the Romanian economy. The authors identified several “inhibitors” which have served to stall Romania’s attempts to achieve a free-market economy. While a lack of practical training in western-style management practices may be a limiting factor, Romanian managers are generally open to change. However, they are still deeply rooted in the thought processes instilled during Romania’s command economy and a belief that the size and economic importance of their firms will serve as buffers against the “agents of change”. To the extent that change is viewed as a threat to their personal interests, resistance can be expected. The question, “what is in it for me?”, must be satisfactorily addressed if Romanian managers are expected to become active partners in implementing necessary changes. © 1999, Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft mbH und Co.

Quadruple covers of algebraic varieties - Hahn, D.W.; Miranda, R. (Journal of Algebraic Geometry, 1999)
Let X and Y be varieties over a field k; π : X → Y is a quadruple cover of Y if π*script O signX is a locally free, rank 4 script O signY-algebra. If char k ≠ 2, we see that π*script O signX splits as script O signY ⊕ε where ε is a locally free rank 3 sheaf over script O signY, which is locally the "trace zero" module. For each y ∈ Y, we therefore have a rank 4 associative, commutative algebra over script O signY,y. We find that these algebras are parametrized by an affine cone over the Grassmanian G(2, 6) with vertex corresponding to the algebra k[x, y, z]/(x, y, z)2. We then show that a quadruple cover with trace zero module ε over a variety Y is determined by a totally decomposable section η ∈ H0(∧2S2 E* ⊗ ∧3 E). We then examine the case in which the section η has no zeros. Here, each rank 4 algebra may be associated to a pencil of conics. As a special case of this, we look at the work of G. Casnati and T. Ekedahl on Gorenstein covers, and we show that their analysis is the subcase where the pencil of conics has length 4 base locus. Finally, we study the case in which the trace zero module ε is split. In this context, Galois covers, which are covers induced by the action of a group of order 4 on the covering variety X, are also studied.

Predicting outcomes of early expressive language delay - Paul, R.; Fountain, R. (Infant-Toddler Intervention, 1999)
A group of children was identified as 'late talkers' who were slow in expressive language development (SELD) on the basis of small expressive vocabulary size at 20-34 months of age. The subjects were followed yearly throughout the preschool and early school-age periods in order to track growth in language and related skills. When the subjects were in second grade, their expressive language skills, as indexed by the Developmental Sentence Score, were measured. This measure was used as the outcome variable in regression and discriminant function analyses. Predictor variables included those gathered when the subjects entered the study at age 2. They included measures of early expressive and receptive language by parent report, nonverbal cognitive performance, Bayley Mental Scale score (a combined verbal and nonverbal cognitive measure), phonological skill, motor skills, maladaptive behaviors, social skills, birth order, socioeconomic (SES) level, and gender. Only SES and early expressive language skills predicted expressive language outcome in second grade. Discriminant function analysis revealed these two factors were significant in predicting success (scores above the tenth percentile), along with a contribution of early gross motor skills. The implications of these findings for understanding early language delays are discussed.

Nest site selection by urban and rural Great Horned Owls in the northeast - Smith, D.G.; Bosakowski, T.; Devine, A. (Journal of Field Ornithology, 1999)
We studied nest site and habitat characteristics associated with 75 Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) nests in Connecticut, northern New Jersey, and southeastern New York. Nest sites were categorized as either urban (30) or rural (45) and were compared to data from available habitat (24 random sites for microhabitat; 70 random sites for macro-habitat). Urban nest trees were significantly larger in diameter and taller than rural nest trees, and accordingly, nests were higher in urban nest trees as well. Urban nest sites were significantly different than random sites for all eight habitat variables, but rural nests were significantly different for only five variables. Urban nests were significantly different than rural nests for five of eight habitat variables. Only urban owl nests had significantly lower site basal area, higher conifer composition, and lower shrub cover. Both urban and rural owl nests showed lower canopy cover and closer proximity to forest edge, paved roads, human habitation, and water than random sites. Although both urban and rural Great Horned Owls demonstrated habitat selection (use different from availability), urban owls showed a stronger degree of selection, probably because of the greater complexity of habitats available in the urban landscape.

Endoscopy: A Noninvasive Solution - Watson, C.E.; Sobel, D.S. (Veterinary Technician, 1999)
Because clients are demanding better health care for their pets, more advanced and quicker techniques for obtaining a diagnosis are essential. Veterinary endoscopy gives veterinarians and clients a noninvasive option for evaluating diseased tissue without surgical intervention. Although patients must be anesthetized, they often are released from the veterinary facility on the same day the procedure is performed. Technicians play a vital role in communication between veterinarians and clients and provide valuable procedural skills during the endoscopy.

A video technique for the quantitative analysis of the Poisson spot and other diffraction patterns - Wein, G.R. (American Journal of Physics, 1999)
A new approach is presented for the observation and analysis of diffraction phenomena. Using the discussed procedures, direct comparison between measured light intensity and theoretical predictions is possible. A modified version of a Poisson spot experiment where the resulting diffraction pattern is recorded by a Sanyo vidicon camera is presented. A double slit experiment is also discussed, demonstrating the quantitative possibilities while addressing detector linearity. A video signal is connected directly to a computer and analyzed using public domain software. This is an excellent arrangement for demonstrations, student labs, or a more general diffraction experiment. © 1999 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Response of a forest raptor community to broadcasts of heterospecific and conspecific calls during the breeding season - Bosakowski, T.; Smith, D.G. (Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1998)
We investigated the response of the forest raptor community to broadcasts of all potentially occurring raptors in a New Jersey watershed. Raptors were systematically surveyed using high-volume broadcasts of conspecific and heterospecific calls during the breeding season at a total of 81 survey stations. Results showed 107 responses from 10 species of breeding raptors following 891 broadcasts of 11 species. Among responses that occurred during or after broadcasts, at least 50% of the forest raptor species responded to heterospecific calls. Response rates to conspecific or heterospecific broadcasts were significantly different between hawks (68% heterospecific) and owls (26% heterospecific), suggesting that hawks showed greater heterospecific conflict than members of the owl guild. The hawk guild had a higher species packing (six versus four species) which is thought to increase the likelihood of competition in the community. In addition, most hawks probably need to re-establish territories each spring because the vast majority of them will migrate south for the winter. In contrast, most of the owl guild members are permanent residents and territories may be more permanent. Overall, the prevalence of heterospecific response is an indicator that current competition exists and continues to shape present-day community structure among forest raptors.

Kinematic analysis of a dynamic balance task by children who are deaf - Butterfield, S.A.; Lehnhard, R.A.; Martens, D.; Moirs, K. (Clinical Kinesiology, 1998)
The purpose of this investigation was to identify dynamic balance strategies used by 18 boys and girls who were deaf. Each child was simultaneously videotaped from the frontal and sagittal planes while walking forward on a balance beam and stepping over a stick placed knee high. Next their performance was evaluated on a pass-fail basis. Following testing, each participant was assigned to the respective group (pass n = 9; fail n = 9) for kinematic analysis. Based on a discriminant function analysis of the data, head and trunk ranges of motion (ROM) were significant (p < .05) predictors of pass/fail performance. Children in the fail group had significantly greater head and trunk sway causing them to lose balance. Factors contributing to poor dynamic balance among children who are deaf are discussed as are implications for intervention and further research.

Foxwoods Casino Resort: An unusual experiment in economic development - D'Hauteserre, A.-M. (Economic Geography, 1998)
The Foxwoods Casino Resort owned by the Mashantucket Pequots of Connecticut is the largest gambling casino in the Western world. The Pequots' Connecticut location enabled the tribe to open a casino, with accessibility to a large market and limited competition. The opening of Foxwoods is also the result of changes in relationships between Americans and Indians and shifts in American attitudes toward gambling. As attitudes and laws change, however, there is little chance that another Indian Foxwoods will be created here or elsewhere in the United States.

A second look at thorstein veblen the aesthetics of thorstein veblen revisited - Tilman, R.; Griffin, R. (Cultural Dynamics, 1998)
The aesthetics of Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) have been evaluated by aestheticians and social scientists of various ideological persuasions. Because of Veblen's stature as an American critical theorist and the debate which has ensued over the nature of his aesthetics, further efforts to both clarify and extrapolate from them are self-justificatory. The focus here is on (1) Veblen's view of aesthetic experience, (2) the nature of the non-invidiously beautiful in his aesthetics, (3) his distinction between pure and applied art forms and its importance to the common person and (4) the social basis and artistic consequences of the non-invidious as exemplified in the painting of the American artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910). Problematic areas in Veblen's social theory and aesthetics are addressed and a non-invidious aesthetic of countervailence articulated using Homer's work. Copyright © 1998 SAGE Publications.

Distribution and species richness of a forest raptor community in relation to urbanization - Bosakowski, T.; Smith, D.G. (Journal of Raptor Research, 1997)
We studied the species richness and distribution of the forest raptor community in a New Jersey watershed in relation to urbanization. Raptors were systematically surveyed using high volume broadcasts of conspecific and heterospecific calls during the breeding season at a total of 81 survey stations. Ten habitat variables relevant to urbanization were measured at each survey station using topographic maps and aerial photographs. Results showed a community composed of 10 species of breeding raptors. Buteo lineatus, Accipiter gentilis and Strix varia showed a significant avoidance of suburban habitat, whereas B. jamaicensis and Bubo virginianus had a greater tendency to occupy such areas. Lowland habitat was significantly selected by S. varia, B. lineatus and A. cooperii, a habitat usually most susceptible to development in the study region. Raptor species richness showed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.79, P < 0.01) with wilderness area size. No wilderness area less than 1000 ha had more than four raptor species while four to eight species were found in areas from 1000-8000 ha. Utilization of three increasing size classes of wilderness areas showed increasing trends for B. lineatus, A. gentilis and S. varia, and decreasing trends for B. jamaicensis and Bubo virginianus. © 1997 The Raptor Research Foundation, Inc.

Non-linear characteristics of the sterling/european currency unit exchange rate: 1984–1992 - Chappell, D.; Eldridge, R.M. (International Journal of Phytoremediation, 1997)
The behaviour of the Sterling/European Currency Unit (ECU) exchange rate is examined both during the time before Britain joined the European exchange rate mechanism (ERM) and during the time of Britain's membership. During the latter period, a GARCH (1, 1) model fits the data well but during the pre-ERM period there is evidence of significant non-linear - possibly chaotic - structure in the GARCH residuals. Analysis of the dominant Lyapunov exponents and correlation dimension for the pre-ERM period suggests that the data generation process may be chaotic and this is reinforced by the highly significant BDS statistics obtained for this sample period. © 1997, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The effect of upper trapezius taping on electromyographic activity in the upper and middle trapezius region - Morin, G.E.; Tiberio, D.; Austin, G. (Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 1997)
A characteristic of scapulothoracic dysfunction is the tendency for the upper regions of the trapezius to hypertrophy in relation to its middle and lower portions. This creates a muscular imbalance that can alter scapular position and subsequently the length-tension relationship of the shoulder muscles. Tape was applied over the right upper trapezius to inhibit electrical activity in the muscles of 10 uninjured subjects. EMG activity was recorded in two locations of the upper trapezius and one location in the middle to lower trapezius region while each subject maintained an isometric contraction designed to activate both muscles. With the tape applied, there was a statistically significant reduction in EMG activity of the upper trapezius with a corresponding increase in the middle/lower trapezius. The ability of the tape to alter trapezius activity in this fashion may help correct muscular imbalances in the trapezius muscle.

Facilitating transitions in language development for children using AAC - Paul, R. (AAC: Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 1997)
Several major transitions in language use take place during the first 5 years of life. Each transition allows the child to move to a higher level of complexity of expression and to accomplish communicative goals more flexibly and precisely than was done at the previous level. At least three of these transitions appear to be modulated to some degree by speech. In the first transition, prellnguistic to early linguistic communication, babbling provides the infant with a prelinguistic form of vocal behavior that is in many ways analogous to language. A second transition takes place in the movement from single words to multiword combinations. In the process of this transition, word order becomes a means by which children convey semantic role information, and transitional forms such as successive one-word utterances help to facilitate the child's leap from single-word speech to multiword sentences. A third transition involves the development of phonological awareness, an important basis for the acquisition of literacy, which builds on the foundation laid by the phonological system for articulation. In each of these transitions, speech appears important for mediating the move to a higher language level. This paper considers the question of how these transitions can be facilitated in children who use augmentative and alternative communication rather than speech as a first expressive system, in order to provide as precise and flexible a communication modality as possible to children with severe speech impairments.

The information quest as resolution of uncertainty: Some approaches to the problem - Sieving, P.C. (Information Seeking and Communicating Behavior of Scientists and Engineers, 1991)
The ideal user of scientific and technical information: shall we design one? The positive personality traits one would wish for in a spouse would do nicely for a start: patient; thoughtful; caring; able to see our (the librarians') virtues through the fog of early-morning not yet-wakefulness or late evening exhaustion; able to communicate needs and wants clearly and without a lot of emotional overtones; willing to work hard to obtain desired results; and apprecia tive of what We (librarians) do. Add to this other talents which, while useful, are less often associated with marriage: the ability to understand and retain complex organizational details; patience with less-than-perfect systems; an intuitive understanding of how information is organized; and a sense of how best to cope with the inter-face between the deluge of possible information resources and the limited needs of one particular user (not to mention limited capacities for retaining and controlling that information flood once the gates are open). © 1991 by The Haworth Press, Inc.

Training the end user: The stanford university medical center experience - Linder, G.A.; Lenon, R.A.; Su, V.; Wible, J.G.; Stangl, P. (End User Searching in the Health Sciences, 1986)
The Lane Medical Library staff, working with a physician at Stanford University Medical Center, has developed a successful end user MEDLINE training program. 80th DIALOG and the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) MEDLARS system are taught. Upon completion of the NLM course, students are eligible to receive academic credit and an NLM password. Several factors are identified as having been crucial to this success: (1) a strong working alliance between library staff and an enthusiastic physician, (2) early and ongoing support from influential leaders in the medical center, (3) minimization of barriers confronting potential end user searchers, and (4) strong emphasis on demonstration and hands-on practice. Costs and personnel support to achieve and maintain the program are discussed, and future plans outlined. © 1986 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.

Do managerial efficiency and social responsibility drive long-term financial performance of not-for-profit hospitals before acquisition?. - Phillips, J F (Journal of health care finance, 1999)
Due to steep declines in charitable support and reduced demand for traditional hospital services, economic goals are increasingly important to not-for-profit hospitals. Effects of efficient management and effective pursuit of not-for-profit status (for example, levels of Medicare, indigent patients, and unprofitable services) on financial viability are explored. While previous research compared hospitals of different ownership status, not-for-profit hospital operations before acquisition by for-profit hospital chains are investigated–"neutral ground" relative to ownership. Results suggest minor links between efficiency and long-term profitability despite effectiveness in pursuit of non taxable status.

For-profit chains seek to acquire successful not-for-profit hospitals. - Phillips, J F (Healthcare financial management : journal of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, 1999)
Over the last decade, investor-owned hospital corporations have grown primarily by acquiring other for-profit hospital chains or stand-alone for-profit institutions. Between 1990 and 1995, however, these corporations also acquired nearly 50 not-for-profit hospitals and converted them to for-profit status. An examination of the long-term financial condition of 39 not-for-profit hospitals acquired by various investor-owned hospital corporations between 1992 and 1996 was conducted using free-cash-flow accounting valuation. The results suggest that, initially, only not-for-profit hospitals in dire financial straits were candidates for acquisition and conversion to for-profit status. More recent acquisitions increasingly have involved more successful not-for-profit hospitals.

Plenty of barbarians, but no bird's milk: The depiction of Russia in German school books, 1890-1914 - Paddock, Troy R. E. (Internationale Schulbuchforschung, 1998)
This article examines the description of Russia in German history and geography textbooks. Nineteenth-century German pedagogical theory linked the natural sciences and the human sciences; the connection supplies further evidence of the perceived organic nature of the nation-state. Although regional and confessional differences among the German states affected the description of German history, the depiction of Russia was consistent. Russia was depicted as a barbaric, backward, and Asiatic empire. The implicit, and often explicit, comparison in the texts was between Russia and Germany. The description of a foreign power served to reinforce German national identity. Moreover, an examination of German geography and history textbooks reveals striking similarities between the perception of Russia in Germany and the Anglo-French depiction of the Near East. Dieser Aufsatz befaßt sich mit dem Rußlandbild in deutschen Schulbüchern für Geschichte und Geographie. Deutsche Pädagogik im 19. Jahrhundert verband die Naturwissenschaft mit der Geisteswissenschaft; diese Verbindung ist noch ein Beweis für die Auf- fassung des Nationalstaats als organisches Wesen. Obwohl regionale und konfessionelle Unterschiede unter den deutschen Ländern die Darstellung von deutscher Geschichte beeinflußten, war die Schilderung von Rußland übereinstimmend. Rußland wurde als ein barbarisches, rückständiges, asiatisches Reich gezeichnet. Der unausgesprochene, und manchmal doch ausgesprochene Vergleich in den Büchern galt Deutschland und Rußland. Die Darstellung der fremden Macht verstärkte die deutsche Nationalidentität. Außerdem enthüllt eine Untersuchung der Schulbücher überraschende Ähnlichkeiten zwischen der deutschen Beschreibung von Rußland und den englischen und französischen Darstellungen des Nahen Osten. L'auteur de cet article analyse l'image de la Russie dans les manuels scolaires allemands d'histoire et de géographie. La pédagogie allemande du 19ème siècle faisait le lien entre les sciences naturelles et les sciences humaines; cette association fournit une preuve supplémentaire du fait que l'Etat-nation était perçu comme un organisme vivant. Alors que les différences régionales et confessionnelles existant entre les différents Etats allemands influençaient la présentation de l'histoire allemande, la description de la Russie était concordante. La Russie était dépeinte comme un empire barbare, arriéré et asiatique. La comparaison implicite, et souvent explicite des textes scolaires concernait la Russie et l'Allemagne. La représentation d'une puissance étrangère servait à renforcer l'identité allemande. En outre, l'analyse de ces manuels révèle des ressemblances étonnantes entre la perception de la Russie et les portraits français et anglais du Proche-Orient.

The three-dimensional graphic method for quantifying body position - Trochim, William M K (Behavior Research Methods, 1976)
The three-dimensional graphic method for quantifying body position is a series of observer procedures and computer programs designed to yield three-dimensional (height, width, and depth) coordinates for various body points. These coordinates can be graphed by computer in several different ways, and can be analyzed mathematically to provide information about a wide variety of variables, including interpersonal distance and body activity. The procedure for collecting and analyzing the data is explained and the computer programs developed for the method are described. © 1976 Psychonomic Society, Inc.

Locus of control among Dutch and American women softball players. - Finn, Joan A; Straub, William F (Research Quarterly. American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1977)
Locus of control is a personality variable that manifests itself through an individual’s perception of the reinforcement he receives. This belief system is based on a continuum ranging from the perception that rewards are completely contingent upon one’s behavior to the belief that only luck, chance, or fate control one’s life. This construct has received considerable attention within the realm of psychology, but is conspicuous by its absence in sport and physical education literature. The purpose of this study was to compare the locus of control of highly skilled Dutch (N = 35) and American (N = 44) women softball players. The Rotter internal-external locus of control scale was utilized to determine internal-external orientations of the subjects. Data were analyzed by using ANOVA and product moment correlations. Statistically significant (.01 level) differences in locus of control were found. American women softball players were significantly more internally oriented than were their Dutch counterparts. © 1977 Taylor 8 Francis Group, LLC.

Comparison of skeletal age and various physical and motor factors with the pubescent development of 10,13, and 16 year old boys - Clarke, H Harrison; Degutis, Ernest W (Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1962)
The purpose of this study was to compare the skeletal ages and various physical and motor factors with the pubescent development of 10, 13, and 16 year old boys. The findings of this study indicated that physical maturation was differentiated most effectively at 13 years of age, although it was not so sensitive to maturational changes as was skeletal age; at 16 years, maturational differentiation was much more limited; and at 10 years, little or no value can be attributed to this method. The 13 and 16 year old boys who were advanced in pubescent development had higher mean scores on all physical and motor tests studied with few exceptions; generally, the differences between the means were significant. In terms of physique types, the only significant difference was found at 16 years of age, where a greater percentage of ectomorphs was found in pubescent group 4 than in group 5. © 1962 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The effect of a moving dot transversal on the Poggendorff illusion - Fineman, Mark B; Melingonis, Mark P (Attention Perception & Psychophysics, 1977)
In attempting to derive the minimal component of the Poggendorff figure which would still produce an illusion, responses to three types of transversal were measured. One was the customary solid line type; a second type presented the two segments sequentially, alternating between them; and the third consisted of a moving dot which traveled the transversal path. Each transversal was shown with and without verticals, for a total of six conditions. Ten subjects in each condition adjusted the luminous transversal until the segments appeared to be collinear. Figures with verticals present showed a greater magnitude of illusion than those without, and discrepancies for moving dot transversals were greater than those for comparable solid line figures. Since alternating transversals were not significantly larger than solid line figures, it was concluded that the magnitude of the moving dot effect could not be attributed to temporal sequence. An eyemovement hypothesis was suggested instead. © 1977 Psychonomic Society, Inc.

A comparison of the Ponzo illusion with a textural analogue - Fineman, Mark B; Carlson, Jeffrey (Attention Perception & Psychophysics, 1973)
The inappropriate constancy scaling notion of geometric illusions was explored by employing a textural analogue of the Ponzo figure. Ten Ss estimated the length of a horizontal line by equating it with varying companion lines in the context of the Ponzo figure, a textural analogue, and a baseline control in which the lines appeared with no surrounding contours. The textural analogue had the added feature of imposing no contours at the ends of the horizontal lines. It was found that length estimates were significantly different between the horizontals of the Ponzo figure and control stimuli, but not between the texture figure and a context-free control. The results suggest that inappropriate constancy scaling plays a minor role at best in the perception of geometric illusions. © 1973 Psychonomic Society, Inc.

Consequences of transgression: self-punishment and depression. - Wallington, Sue A (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1973)
Assessed the effects of transgression on self-aggression and depression in 96 high school students. Male confederates induced 1/2 of the Ss to transgress by deceiving the E. As a measure of self-aggression all Ss gave themselves electric shocks of intensity which they personally selected. Ss were also given behavioral and subjective-report measures of depression, including the Mood Adjective Check List. Transgressing Ss showed significantly more self-aggression. Transgressing Ss also showed changes on behavioral measures of depression but not on subjective-report measures. Females showed significantly more self-aggression than males regardless of condition. Findings suggest that the altruistic behavior found to occur after transgression may be engaged in for its self-punitive aspect as well as, or rather than as, a means of social restitution, as has been previously suggested. Contrary to the suggestion of some theories of depression, self-punishment did not appear to alleviate depression.

The influence of communicator-recipient similarity upon the beliefs and behavior of pregnant women - Mazen, Ragaa; Leventhal, Howard (Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 1972)
A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of communicator-recipient similarity and verbal communication upon the attitudes and behavior of pregnant women. Similarity was varied on two dimensions, pregnancy and color; and these factors were crossed with three communication conditions: (1) information on the advantages of rooming-in and breast feeding; (2) information combined with personal endorsement; and (3) no-information control. Both a pilot study and the main experiment showed no important differences in the amount of attitude change or behavioral compliance between the communication conditions. There were also no significant differences in attitude change as a function of similarity in pregnancy. However, a significantly higher proportion of mothers breast fed and roomed-in when the communicator was pregnant and similar than when she was nonpregnant and dissimilar. Similarity in color had no effect upon attitudes or behavior for the topic of rooming-in. But when the communicator was dissimilar in color there was significant negative change in attitudes toward breast feeding. Similarity in color also increased breast feeding. Attitudes and actions were related; mothers with initially favorable attitudes were more likely to comply for both issues. But with only one exception, attitude change was unrelated to behavioral compliance. The results are discussed in terms of visible similarity as a source of information or cues for action. © 1972.

Facilitation of stereoscopic depth perception by a relative-size cue in ambiguous disparity stereograms. - Fineman, Mark B. (Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1971)
Proposed that the cue of relative size may facilitate depth perception in accordance with a crossed or uncrossed disparity in stereograms in which both tendencies are equally represented. A concurrent concept was that the latency associated with the perception of depth in random-dot stereograms may be due, in part, to a cue conflict between binocular disparity and relative size. 4 male and 2 female graduate students were given 8 presentations of 5 stereographic stimuli, in which disparity was ambiguous but relative size was systematically altered. Ss were tested for direction of depth preferences and response latency. Both the relative-size effects and an uncrossed disparity bias were evidenced in the data. The latter effect was attributed to binocular rivalry between dissimilar elements in the stereoscopic half-fields. It is concluded that depth cue relationships are more complex than had been suggested by simple dominance theories.

Student teachers as tutors for children in an inner city school - Levine, Murray; Dunn, Freda; Brochinsky, Steve; Bradley, Jesse; Donlan, Kay (Child Psychiatry & Human Development, 1970)
A tutoring program for first grade inner city children, employing student teachers as tutors, was developed and evaluated. Tutoring had no discernible effects on performance on the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Ability. However, tutored children were placed in the highest reading group, and were rated by the regular classroom teacher as having completed the first grade reading series more often than controls. Tutors saw their children as becoming more responsive over time. Classroom teachers rated the tutored children as more competent in the classroom, more confident, and as viewing the classroom as more benevolent. In contrast to controls, student teachers maintained favorable attitudes toward teaching in the inner city, and they claimed to have benefited in practice teaching from their tutoring experience. However, relatively few actually took teaching positions in inner city schools after completing their training. © 1972 Behavioral Publications, Inc.

The mental patient and civil rights: Some moral, legal, and ethical considerations. - Tolchin, Gerald; Steinfeld, George; Suchotliff, Leonard (Professional Psychology, 1970)
Distinguishes between legal, ethical, and egalitarian principles involving hospitalization of persons alleged to be mentally ill. With regard to the question of legality, the need for compilation and distribution of relevant information and for informing patients of their rights is discussed. The boundaries of psychologists' professional and personal ethics are viewed as helping patients obtain services which they are personally unable to provide and insuring that the welfare of the patient is placed before the interests of the institution. Egalitarian issues are discussed with regard to: (a) judging whether a mental patient is responsible for his words and actions; (b) the patient's right to accept, reject, or select treatment; and (c) hospitalization of general medical patients and their rights to be informed about their condition, to be notified of test results, and to know the name, quantity, and expected reaction to drugs they are given. It is suggested that psychologists have too long been silent on these issues and in the face of abuses, and that more discussion and stands on them are needed.

The analysis of means techniques - Karas, Shawky F (Journal of Experimental Education, 1968)
The theoretical basis for the Analysis of Means Technique is discussed. In addition, a simplified working procedure is outlined, step-by-step for an actual problem. The data for the problem are analyzed by the analysis of means techniques, which compares differences between means instead of population variances estimates. The data are also analyzed by the analysis of variance technique. The conclusions reached by both techniques are the same. The graphical representation of the ANOM is helpful in understanding data. The ANOM technique is usually used in conjunction with the analysis of variance, either as an initial analysis of data or to augment the analysis of variance. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Ultra-violet argon dayglow lines in the atmosphere of mercury - Zeelik, Michael; Dalgarno, Alexander (Planetary and Space Science, 1973)
We investigate the response of an atmosphere of argon to solar ultra-violet radiation. With the assumption that Mercury has an argon atmosphere that is optically thick to ionizing radiation the intensities of the ultra-violet dayglow lines resulting from photoelectron impact are calculated. For most of the model atmospheres, the predicted intensities are above the detection threshold of the 1973 Venus-Mercury ultra-violet spectrometer of Broadfoot, McElroy and Belton. © 1973.

On maximal t-linearly independent sets - Gulati, Bodh Raj; Johnson, Bruce McK.; Koehn, Uwe (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1973)
Consider a finite t + r − 1 dimensional projective space PG(t + r − 1, s) over a Galois field GF(s) of order s = ϱh, where ϱ and h are positive integers and ϱ is the prime characteristic of the field. A collection of k points in PG (t + r − 1, s) constitutes an L(t, k)-set if no t of them are linearly dependent. An L(t, k)-set is maximal if there exists no other L(t, k′)-set with k′ > k. The largest k for which an L(t, k)-set exists is denoted by Mt(t + r, s). K. A. Bush [3] established that Mt(t, s) = t + 1 for t ⩾ s. The purpose of this paper is to generalize this result and study Mt(t + r, s) for t, r, and s in certain relationships.

Maximal sets of points in finite projective space, no t-linearly dependent - Gulati, Bodh Raj; Kounias, E G (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1973)
Consider a finite (t + r - 1)-dimensional projective space PG(t + r - 1, s) based on the Galois field GF(s), where s is prime or power of a prime. A set of k distinct points in PG(t + r - 1, s), no t-linearly dependent, is called a (k, t)-set and such a set is said to be maximal if it is not contained in any other (k*, t)-set with k* > k. The number of points in a maximal (k, t)-set with the largest k is denoted by mt(t + r, s). Our purpose in the paper is to investigate the conditions under which two or more points can be adjoined to the basic set of Ei, i = 1, 2, ..., t + r, where Ei is a point with one in i-th position and zeros elsewhere. The problem has several applications in the theory of fractionally replicated designs and information theory. © 1973.

More about maximal (n, r)-sets - Gulati, Bodh Raj (Information & Computation, 1972)
Consider a finite r-dimensional projective space PG(r, s) based on the Galois field GF(s) where s is prime or power of a prime. A set of n distinct points in PG(r, s), no t linearly dependent, is said to be maximal or complete if it is not contained in any other set with n* points with n* > n. The number of points in a maximal set is denoted by mt(r + 1, s). The purpose of this paper is to improve the existing bounds for m5(r + 1, s) for r ≥ 5 and s ≥ 5 (odd). The investigation of maximal sets in certain relationships of t, r and s yields parity check matrices of (r + 1) rows and n columns with elements from GF(s) satisfying the condition that no t columns are linearly dependent. This problem has applications to coding theory and also in the theory of fractionally replicated designs. © 1972 Academic Press, Inc.

On maximal (k,t)-sets - Gulati, Bodh Raj (Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, 1971)
This investigation was originally motivated by the problem of determining the maximum number of points in finite n-dimensional projective space PG(n, s) based on the Galois field GF(s) of order s=ph (where p and h are positive integers and p is the prime characteristic of the field), such that no t of these chosen points are linearly dependent. A set of k distinct points in PG(n, s), no t linearly dependent, is called a (k, t)-set for k1 >k. The maximum value of k is denoted by mt (n+1, s). The purpose of this paper is to find new upper bounds for some values of n, s and t. These bounds are of importance in the experimental design and information theory problems. © 1971 Institute of Statistical Mathematics.

Note on the cochran Q test - Tate, Merle W; Brown, Sara M (Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1970)
Cochran’s Q test for differences between related-sample percentages or proportions has generally been incorrectly presented in secondary sources. The most common mistake results from failure to recognize that rows containing only 1’s or only 0’s, i.e., only successes or only failures, do not affect the value of Q. The F test, however, is affected by such rows. The probabilities from the χ2 and F approximations are compared with the exact probabilities in three sets of data. A rule of thumb, based on extensive study of the distribution of 0 in small samples, is given as an aid in judging when the χ2 approximation is satisfactory for practical purposes. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
