When France Was King of Cartography: The Patronage and Production of Maps in Early Modern France - Petto, Christine Marie (Toposophia, 2007)
When France Was King of Cartography investigates over a thousand maps and nearly two dozen map producers, analyzes the map as a cultural artifact, map producers as a group, and the array of map viewers over the course of two centuries in France. The book focuses on situated knowledge or 'localized' interests reflected in these geographical productions. Through the lens of mapmaking, it examines the relationship between power and the practice of patronage, geography, and commerce in early modern France.

Conscience and Purpose: Fiction and Social Consciousness in Howells, Jewett, Chesnutt, and Cather - Petrie, Paul R. (Studies in American literary realism and naturalism, 2005)
"In a series of influential essays that appeared in Harper's, W.D. Howells argued for literature as a vehicle for social change. Literature could and should, Howells suggested, mediate across divisions of class and region, fostering cross-cultural sympathies that would lead to comprehensive social and ethical reform." "Paul R. Petrie explores the legacy of Howells's beliefs as they manifest themselves in his fiction and in the works of three major American writers - Charles W. Chesnutt, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Willa Cather. Each author struggled to adapt Howells's social-ethical agenda for literature to his or her own aesthetic goals and to alternative conceptions of literary purpose. Jewett not only embraced Howell's sense of social mission but also extended it by documenting commonplace cultural realities in a language and vision that was spiritual and transcendent. Chesnutt sought to improve relations between Anglo readers and African Americans, but his work, such as The Conjure Woman, also questions literature's ability to repair those divides." "Finally, Petrie shows how Cather, as she shifted from journalism to fiction writing, freed herself from Howells's influence. Alexander's Bridge (1912) and O Pioneers! (1913) both make reference to social and material realities but only as groundwork for character portrayals that are mythic and heroic. The result of Petrie's exploration is a refreshing reassessment of Howell's legacy and its impact on American literature and social history at the turn of the century."--Jacket.

Letters to J.D. Salinger - Kubica, Chris; Hochman, Will (University of Wisconsin Press, 2002)
"He published his only novel more than fifty years ago. He has hardly been seen or heard from since 1965. Most writers fitting such a description are long forgotten, but if the novel is The Catcher in the Rye and the writer is J.D. Salinger ... well, he's the stuff of legends, the most famously reclusive writer of the twentieth century. If you could write to him, what would you say?" "Salinger continues to maintain his silence, but Holden Caulfield, Franny and Zooey, and Seymour Glass - the unforgettable characters of his novel and short stories - continue to speak to generations of readers and writers. Letters to J.D. Salinger includes more than eighty personal letters addressed to Salinger from well-known writers, editors, critics, journalists, and other luminaries, as well as from students, teachers, and readers around the world, some of whom have just discovered Salinger for the first time. Their voices testify to the lasting impression Salinger's ideas and emotions have made on so many diverse lives."--Jacket.

The Sacred and Profane in English Renaissance Literature - Papazian, Mary Arshagouni (University of Delaware Press, 2008)
"This collection of thirteen original essays focuses squarely on the question of how properly to define the intersection between the sacred and profane in early modern English literature. Growing out of the work of church historians of the previous decade, and the renewed interest in our own time in questions of how the religious and secular realms overlap and (re)define each other, the contributors to this volume focus their attention on defining anew the tension between the sacred and profane in this period. Fundamental to this reframing is a strong belief among all contributors that the sacred and profane must be defined in relation to each other. Thus, the essays in this volume seek to advance more nuanced approaches to these issues that enable us to move beyond simplistic categories whereby the sacred and profane - and sacred and profane literature - occupied several different spheres, were produced by different writers, and spoke to different audiences."--Jacket.

In a Fine Frenzy: Poets Respond to Shakespeare - Starkey, David; Willis, Paul J. (University of Iowa Press, 2005)
Showcasing poems by more than ninety contemporary American poets, In a Fine Frenzy reveals what Shakespeare's poetic children have made of their inheritance. Particularly interested in Viola, Miranda, Prospero, Desdemona, Iago, Lear, Cordelia, Hamlet, Horatio, and Ophelia, the poets respond to the sonnets, the comedies, the tragedies, the romances, and, to a lesser degree, Shakespeare the man. In so doing they reveal the aspects of his work most currently captivating to modern writers. Those who cherish Shakespeare's mercurial wit will delight in the rapid shifts, from grief to hilarity, so characteristic of the bard himself. Comic poems about tragedies follow decidedly somber poems about comedies. Single poems contain multiple emotional twists and turns. Some pay homage; most interact directly with the original Shakespearean text. Collectively, they corroborate Ben Jonson's assertion that Shakespeare is "not of an age, but for all time."--(Source of description unspecified.)

John Donne and the Protestant Reformation New Perspectives - Papazian, Mary Arshagouni (Wayne State University Press, 2003)
"This collection includes thirteen essays that together place Donne broadly in the context of English and European traditions and explore his divine poetry, his prose work, the Devotions Upon Emergent Occassions, and his sermons. It becomes clear that in adopting the values of the Reformation, Donne does not completely reject everything from his Catholic background. Rather, the clash of religion erupts in his work in both moving and disconcerting ways." "This collection offers a fresh understanding of Donne's hard-won irenicism, which he achieved at great personal and professional risk."--Jacket.

Affirmative Action and the University Race, Ethnicity, and Gender in Higher Education Employment - Rai, Kul B.; Critzer, John W. (University of Nebraska Press, 2000)
Affirmative Action and the University is the only full-length study to examine the impact of affirmative action on all higher education hiring practices. Drawing on data provided by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics, the authors summarize, track, and evaluate changes in the gender and ethnic makeup of academic and nonacademic employees at private and public colleges and universities from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. Separate chapters assess changes in employment opportunities for white women, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans. The authors look at the extent to which a two-tier employment system exists. In such a system minorities and women are more likely to make their greatest gains in non-elite positions rather than in faculty and administrative positions. The authors also examine differences in hiring practices between public and private colleges and universities. Kul B. Rai is a professor of political science at Southern Connecticut State University. His works include "America in the Twenty-First Century: Challenges and Opportunities in Domestic Politics". John W. Critzer is a professor of political science at Southern Connecticut State University., "Affirmative Action and the University is the only full-length study to examine the impact of affirmative action on all higher education hiring practices.

"French Interpretations of Heidegger undertakes a philosophical engagement with the work of the most significant and creative figures involved in the reception of Heidegger in France. The essays address those thinkers who have been influenced by Heidegger's thought and have interpreted it in remarkable ways, including Levinas, Beaufret, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, Nancy, Lacoue-Labarthe, Irigaray, Zarader, Greisch, and Dastur. The volume explores the extraordinary impact that Heidegger's thought has had on contemporary French philosophy, including such movements as existentialism, deconstruction, feminist theory, post-structuralism, and hermeneutics, and illustrates its impact on the American continental scene as well."--Jacket.

The Creation of the World, or, Globalization - Nancy, Jean-Luc (SUNY series in contemporary French thought, 2007)
"Appearing in English for the first time, Jean-Luc Nancy's 2002 book reflects on globalization and its impact on our being-in-the-world. Developing a contrast in the French language between two terms that are usually synonymous, or that are used interchangeably, namely globalisation (globalization) and mondialisation (world-forming), Nancy undertakes a rethinking of what "world-forming" might mean. At stake in this distinction is for him nothing less than two possible destinies of our humanity, and of our time. This book is an important contribution by Nancy to a philosophical reflection on the phenomenon of globalization and a further development on his earlier works on our being-in-common, justice, and a-theological existence."--Jacket.

The Book of Love and Pain: Thinking at the Limit with Freud and Lacan - Nasio, Juan-David (SUNY series in psychoanalysis and culture, 2004)
"In The Book of Love and Pain, Juan-David Nasio offers the first exclusive treatment of psychic pain in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic literature. Using insights gained from more than three decades as a practicing psychoanalyst, Nasio addresses the limits faced by the analyst in attempting to think and treat pain psychoanalytically. He suggests that while pain is about separation and loss, psychic pain is intensified by paradoxical overinvestment in the lost loved one. Included are discussions of the pain of mourning, the pain of jouissance, unconscious pain, pain as an object of the drive, pain as a form of sexuality, pain and the scream, and the pain of silence. In offering a phenomenological description of psychic pain, The Book of Love and Pain fills a gaping void in psychoanalytic research and will play an important role in our understanding of the human psyche.

Mass exhumation and deposition of Mulinia lateralis (Bivalvia: Mactridae) on an intertidal beach, St. Catherines Island, Georgia, USA - Cleveland, C.M.; Prezant, Robert; Rollins, Harold; Toll, R.; Wylie, J. (Veliger -Berkeley-, 2002)
Episodic events which affect populations of marine invertebrate species are rarely documented. We report the catastrophic mass exhumation and deposition of a large aggregation of adult bivalves (Mulinia lateralis [Say, 1822]) to a suboptimal habitat on a sandy intertidal beach of St. Catherines Island, Georgia, USA. The displaced population impacted a large area (7000 m2) of the beach and consisted of similar-sized clams (∼ 13 mm mean shell length). We suggest that the exhumation could have been a result of storm-induced shear stress, an hypoxic event, or other environmental stress on the individuals. Events of this type could have important implications for population dynamics and cohort distribution, fisheries predictions and harvests, and interpretation of fossil assemblages.

Mollusca of Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia: Additions to the fauna, range extensions, and gigantism - Prezant, Robert; III, C.L.; Chapman, E.J. (Veliger, 2002)
Collections of 108 species of marine and estuarine mollusks from and around Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia, from 1991 to 1996, vary from and extend the known species lists generated by three previously published collections over the past 100 years. Extensive sampling, including benthic grabs, trawls, and hand collecting, has added 54 species of mollusks (20 bivalves, 31 gastropods, one polyplacophoran, and two cephalopods) to the 1914 list of Henderson & Bartsch and 46 (19 bivalves, 26 gastropods and one cephalopod) to that of Counts & Bashore from 1991. Homer et al. in 1997 provided a mollusk survey of Maryland coast bays and listed 73 molluscan species (including 10 species recorded as shells only and eight as taxonomic uncertainties). To the latter we have added 51 molluscan taxa they did not find (19 bivalves, 29 gastropods, one polyplacophoran, and two cephalopods). All collections represent a total described malacofauna of this region of 146 shallow-water species excluding undescribed or non-described taxa in earlier papers. Within the populations of some of the species collected were a few exceptionally large individuals, adding to previous records of unusually large specimens of mollusks from this region of the Atlantic coast. Additionally, some species of mollusks (Tectura testudinalis, Eupleura semisulcata [Gastropoda], Tridonta borealis [Bivalvia]) and some non-mollusks (the ascidian Ecteinascidia turbinata and a confirmation of an extension of the anthozoan Peachia parasitica) have been found in the waters surrounding Assateague, well outside of their previously reported geographic ranges. The results of the present study suggest the need for a re-evaluation of possible environmental shifts that could have taken place since the collections of the early 1900s and have elsewhere been implicated in the change of malacofauna of Assateague Island since that time. Additionally, range extensions reported could reflect a subtle geographic transition zone, newly introduced species, or, most likely, an understudied coastal area.

Marine Macroinvertebrate Diversity of St. Catherines Island, Georgia - Prezant, Robert; TOLL, RONALD; Rollins, Harold; CHAPMAN, ERIC (American Museum Novitates, 2002)
St. Catherines Island is one of several barrier islands lining the coast of Georgia, USA. This island is among the least recently anthropogenically impacted of the Georgia Sea Islands, but had not previously been examined in detail for coastal invertebrate macrofauna. From 1992 through late 1998 a coastal survey was conducted that examined the diverse marine invertebrate fauna of St. Catherines Island. Salt marshes, sand flats, mid- to low-energy sand beaches, beach wood debris, tidal creeks, shallow benthos, and artificial hard substrata (including docks) were qualitatively sampled for macroinvertebrates. Over 340 species were identified. Crustaceans composed close to 40% (14% amphipods; 15% decapods), polychaetes 17.5%, and molluscs about 25% of all species recovered. These results are compared to the few other relevant studies from the United States mid-Atlantic Coast.

A novel method for locating tagged infaunal bivalves: Submersible pulse technology metal detectors - Toll, R.B.; Prezant, Robert; Rollins, Harold (Journal of Shellfish Research, 2002)
Hardelams, Mercenaria mercenaria (Linne, 1758), tagged with brass washers attached to the outer shell surface and replanted into their natural habitat, were located remotely through the use of a commercially available, fully submersible, pulse technology metal detector. The ability to remotely locate tagged, replanted clams can increase the speed and efficiency of field operations associated with studies of clam population dynamics. Also, this methodology can reduce localized disturbances to the habitat that routinely accompany extensive hand probing to relocate experimental clams in traditional tag and recapture based studies.

Freshwater Molluscs of the United States Military Academy Drainages (West Point, NY) and Comparative Regional Biodiversity of Gastropods - Prezant, Robert S.; Chapman, Eric J. (Northeastern Naturalist, 2004)
Thirty-four species of molluscs have been found in the drainage systems of the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. A few rare species were found as well as a single specimen of a presumed new gastropod taxon. Only two species of unionids, Pyganodon cataracta and Elliptio complanata, were found within the drainages. The largest drainage system, Popolopen Brook, contained the highest diversity of molluscs. Species redundancy between drainages aligned well as a function of the extent of lentic and lotic habitats with brooks and streams having a Bray-Curtis similarity index of ≈ 64.0 when compared to lakes and ponds. On the other hand, a number of species collected were found in only a single drainage. Total drainage area did not correspond well with diversity unless determined as total predicted usable habitat. Thus the drainages with the greatest number of discernible lakes, ponds, streams, and creeks, also had the highest molluscan diversity. On the whole, molluscan diversity of these drainages compared favorably to those of other regional New York sites, but relative abundance or population densities varied, with variations reflecting survey effort, time or season of collections, and incorporation of historic museum collections.

Byssus-attachment by infaunal clams: Seagrass-nestling Venerupis in Esperance Bay, Western Australia (Bivalvia: Veneridae). - Bieler, Rüdiger; Mikkelsen, Paula; Prezant, Robert (2005)
Venerupis galactites (Lamarck, 1818), an endemic Australian infauna! venerid clam, is morphologically/ anatomically described based on specimens collected in shallow-water Posidonia australis seagrass beds in Esperance Bay, Western Australia. The species lives in high densities (1 ,300/m2) in 2-4 cm sediment depth, byssally attached to the seagrass rhizome mats. Notable features of its anatomy include elongated siphons that are united nearly to the tip, expansive plicated gills, and a prominent byssal groove on the posteroventral foot. The byssal gland in histological sections is irregularly ovoid and cupulate, with a narrow lumen; the microfibrillar ribbon-like byssus forms a single thick proximal stalk that divides distally into 2- 3 branches. Each branch can have numerous periodic, flat and parallel side-branches that extend from one side of the primary byssal thread and terminate in attachment plaques. The form of the byssus is reflected in the byssal duct, which has an infolded secretory epithelium that forms or molds the side branches. Byssal attachment by adult clams is discussed for the largely free-living and infauna! family Veneridae, a group in which neotenous retention of this postlarval feature was thought to be restricted to intertidal rock nestlers. Rather than representing a simple retention of neotenous features, the elaborate byssal apparatus of V galactites is clearly derived. The parallel side branches seen along a single side of the primary byssal threads could reflect an adaptive feature for secure adhesion in an infaunal life mode nestled along relatively narrow, cylindrical rhizomes.

Population study of laternula truncata (bivalvia: anomalodesmata: laternulidae) in the mangrove sand flat of kungkrabaen bay, thailand, with notes on laternula cf. corrugata - Prezant, R.; Sutcharit, C.; Chalermwat, K.; Duangdee, Teerapong (Proceedings of the International Marine Bivalve Workshop, Chanthaburi, Thailand, 2008)
Overall benthic macroinvertebrate biodiversity, along with laternulid density, was higher closer to mangroves but relative infaunal invertebrate dominance increased along a transect that transcended a hummock closer to the mangrove forest, across an open sand fl at, and terminated in another isolated humMock farther from the fringing forest. A population of the anomalodesmatan bivalve Laternula truncata (Lamarck, 1818) was examined in a mangrove sand fl at in Kungkrabaen Bay, Thailand, to determine population size, cohort distribution, and basic relationships with sediment and infaunal macroinvertebrate biodiversity. Relatively high densities of L. truncata were found in muddy sands, often deeply buried in or close to tangled rootlet mats of the mangrove trees Avicennia alba Blume, 1827, and A. marina (Forsskal) Vierhapper, 1907, along isolated mangrove hummocks. They were less common in open areas of the mangrove fl at. This population of L. truncata was relatively evenly distributed across size classes, minus the smallest sizes, suggesting continuous recruitment with a possible loss of recent recruits or recruitment. Overall benthic macroinvertebrate biodiversity, along with laternulid density, was higher closer to mangroves but relative infaunal invertebrate dominance increased along a transect that transcended a hummock closer to the mangrove forest, across an open sand fl at, and terminated in another isolated hummock farther from the fringing forest. A nearby population of L. cf. corrugata (Reeve, 1863) inhabited a distinctly different habitat. Laternula cf. corrugata was shallowly buried and dwelt in the mangrove forest proper among different species of mangroves and in sandier sediments. Behavioural observations of both laternulids indicated that both were capable of reburying, with smaller specimens more rapidly, albeit still slowly, succeeding in full re-entry into the sediment. Larger specimens of L. truncata were incapable of reburial. Morphological, ecological, and behavioural distinctions between L. truncata and L. cf. corrugata are considered in light of their habitat differences, confusion within laternulid systematics, and diffi culty in resolving the taxonomy of the latter species.

A comparison of the relative abundance and size of Juvenile winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, in natural intertidal and anthropogenically altered marina habitats - Carlson, J.K.; Mroczka, M.E.; Randall, T.A.; Pellegrino, P.E. (Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science, 2000)
The relative abundance and size distributions of juvenile winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, were compared in two areas; an anthropogenically altered marina basin and a natural intertidal flat habitat. Winter flounder were sampled from March through November 1990-95 with a 1.0 m beam trawl. No significant difference was observed in catch-per-unit-effort between areas but significant differences were found between seasons. Relative abundance (number of flounder/m2) increased from spring (0.007 marina and 0.011 intertidal flats) to summer (0.059 marina and 0.051 intertidal flats) and then declined slightly in the autumn (0.047 marina and 0.027 intertidal flats). Relative abundance was similar between areas from 1990-95 but differed between years. Length frequency distributions of winter flounder were similar between areas for all seasons but mean sizes were statistically different in summer. These results suggest that juvenile winter flounder are equally abundant in both natural intertidal habitats and marina basins, indicating that both could serve as nursery areas. However, more specific research is required to resolve the relative importance of marinas and the factors involved in utilization of each habitat.

Life history aspects of the mayfly Siphlonurus typicus (Ephemeroptera: Siphlonuridae) with a new application for measuring nymphal development and growth - Kosnicki, E.; Burian, S. (Hydrobiologia, 2003)
Little is known about the life history of mayflies that inhabit temporary ponds. The purpose of this study was to observe and quantify life histories attributes of Siphlonurus typicus, which is known to reside in temporary ponds. Weekly samples of nymphs were taken from two temporary ponds in eastern Connecticut from March to June, 1999. Individuals were graded into 11 maturity classes, based on developmental characteristics, as a means of predicting population maturity rates. Head capsule widths (HCWs) were used to determine if growth occurred between maturity classes. Degree days were found to be an excellent predictor for population maturity (r2 = 0.963, p < 0.0001). Nymphs that hatched earlier in the year had larger HCWs than nymphs that hatched later in the year, possibly because of different temperature regimes. The University of Connecticut Forest pond (UCF) population matured faster than the Merrow Meadows pond (MER) population, but both sexes of the UCF population tended to be smaller than their counter parts from the MER population. Sex ratios were female bias for the UCF population (1.35:1), but were not different for the MER population. Adult emergence and mating occurred from 27 May to 21 June. There was a positive relationship between number of eggs per female and female body length. Oviposition at both sites occurred directly on the ponds, pond inlets, and outlets, indicating that pond populations were the result of local migrants as well as permanent residents. Temperature was a determining factor of maturity and fecundity for Siphlonurus typicus.

Art gallery theorems for guarded guards - Michael, T.S.; Pinciu, V. (Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications, 2003)
We prove two art gallery theorems in which the guards must guard one another in addition to the gallery. A set G of points (the guards) in a simple closed polygon (the art gallery) is a guarded guard set provided (i) every point in the polygon is visible to some point in G; and (ii) every point in G is visible to some other point in G. We prove that a polygon with n sides always has a guarded guard set of cardinality ⌊(3n-1)/7⌋ and that this bound is sharp (n5); our result corrects an erroneous formula in the literature. We also use a coloring argument to give an entirely new proof that the corresponding sharp function for orthogonal polygons is ⌊n/3⌋ for n≤6; this result was originally established by induction by Hernández-Peñalver. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Counselors’ conceptualizations of caring in the counseling relationship - Halstead, R.W.; Wagner, L.D.; Vivero, M.; Ferkol, W. (Counseling and Values, 2002)
Caring is a concept that has been studied in numerous helping professions but has yet to be researched from a counseling perspective. In this qualitative research study, 13 master’s-level counseling interns were interviewed to better understand their perceptions of caring in the counseling relationship. Results suggest that these interns perceive that supporting desired outcomes, a personal capacity for caring, maintaining therapeutic conditions, mutuality in the counseling relationship, and a dynamic flow of communication are important attributes of the counseling relationship when caring is present The findings suggest further research that explores the concept of caring in the counseling relationship may be warranted. © 2002 American Counseling Association.

Clinical efficacy of electrophysiologic measures in APD management programs - Jirsa, R.E. (Seminars in Hearing, 2002)
Determining the relative efficacy of various intervention programs for auditory processing disorders (APD) is a major goal in the field of rehabilitative audiology. Currently, because of their widespread availability, the most commonly used measuring tools to assess the central auditory system have been behaviorally based. Such measures do have notable disadvantages in that they may be influenced by a number of extraneous variables that may impede, or at least influence, efficacy measures. Electrophysiologic measures offer unique advantages not available from the behavioral measures. A significant amount of research has been completed offering compelling evidence relative to the clinical utility of a number of these electrophysiologic measures, including the maximum length sequences-auditory brainstem response, the middle latency response, the obligatory long latency responses, and the MMN and P3 event-related potentials. This article will review the current research related to electrophyiologic measures and present a rationale for including them in the management program.

Competitive hagiography in biographies of al-Awzā'ī and Sufyān al-Thawrī - Judd, S.C. (Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2002)
The present paper examines how followers of 'Abd al-Rahcombining dot belowmān b. 'Amr al-Awzā'ī and Sufyān al-Thawrī tried to create boundaries between the nascent madhhabs that claimed them as eponyms. In the absence of significant differences in legal method, students turned to the two shaykhs' responses to the 'Abbāsid revolution to draw distinctions between them. The Arabic biographical sources contain stories of their responses to the revolution that reveal a dialogue between followers of the two shaykhs about the relative merits of their choices. The changing interpretations of their attitudes toward the 'Abbāsid regime and the exaggeration evident in the anecdotes examined have significant implications for our reading of medieval Arabic biographical sources.

Co-branding partners: What do they see in each other? - Prince, M.; Davies, M. (Business Horizons, 2002)
The decision about whether to co-brand is based on two conditions: the opportunities for creating a competitive advantage, and the operational benefits that will result. When these conditions are favorable, a firm must pick the right co-branding partner, using such criteria as (a) compatibility between brands, (b) market volatility, (c) investment requirements and arrangements, and (d) the prospective partner's commitment to the agreement. The firm and its chosen partner then enter the phase of courtship and potential conflict, which involves planning, negotiation, and conflict avoidance and management. Finally, they must create an exit strategy, in case the co-branding arrangement fails to live up to its promise.

Executive function ability in persons with aphasia - Purdy, M. (Aphasiology, 2002)
Background: There is an increasing recognition that the communication problems one observes in persons with aphasia extend beyond verbal deficits and that the myriad of symptoms observed are not solely due to a faulty linguistic system. Rather, there exists a coalition of causal elements resulting in a wide range of communicative deficits. There is some preliminary evidence suggesting that communicative success of clients with aphasia may depend on the integrity of executive function skills. Executive functions are called into play when an individual is involved in a complex, novel activity. They allow us to plan, sequence, organise, and monitor goal-directed activities in a flexible manner as demanded by situational and environmental changes. When linguistic skills are impaired, individuals need to rely on other cognitive skills in order to communicate. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore executive functioning ability in persons with aphasia. Methods & procedures: A total of 15 individuals with aphasia and 12 healthy control subjects participated in this study. Three dimensions of performance were examined (accuracy, speed, and efficiency) in the context of neuropsychological tests designed to examine cognitive flexibility and goal-directed planning (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Porteus Maze Test, Tower of London, and Tower of Hanoi). Outcomes & results: Results indicated that the two groups performed with similar levels of accuracy on two of the four tests. However, significant differences were found on all speed and efficiency variables, suggesting decreased executive functioning skills in the group of individuals with aphasia. Conclusions: It is important to consider executive functioning ability in clients with aphasia and attempt to determine the influence of executive function skill on communicative performance. Understanding the cognitive abilities as well as the linguistic abilities of these clients may ultimately help clinicians determine which patients are better candidates for intervention as well as which treatment approaches would be most efficient and beneficial.

Script knowledge following stroke - Purdy, M.H. (Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology, 2002)
This study examined script knowledge in 20 subjects who sustained a stroke (10 with left hemisphere brain damage and aphasia and 10 with right hemisphere brain damage) and 10 neurologically normal subjects. Script knowledge was examined via performance on three tasks: procedural sequencing, procedure production, and procedural discourse. Neurologically normal subjects performed all tasks accurately, and all subjects in the stroke group completed at least one of the three tasks for each script accurately, suggesting that script knowledge was preserved in this mildly brain-damaged population. However, significant differences were obtained between the neurologically normal and stroke groups when overall performance was examined. These findings suggest that additional cognitive processes influence task performance. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Regioselective one-pot bromination of aromatic amines - Smith, M.B.; Guo, L.; Okeyo, S.; Stenzel, J.; Yanella, J.; LaChapelle, E. (Organic Letters, 2002)
(Matrix Presented) Treatment of aniline with n-butyllithium and then trimethyltin chloride gave the tin amide (PhNH-SnMe3) in situ. Without isolation of the tin amide reaction with bromine and workup with aqueous fluoride ion gave p-bromoaniline in 76% yield, with no dibromoaniline or o-bromoaniline. Application of this sequence to 11 different aromatic amines gave selective bromination in 36-91% yields, without formation of dibromides. This constitutes a good general method for the regioselective bromination of aromatic amines.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease can usually be successfully managed with conservative medical treatment. Anti-reflux surgery is a safe alternative when treatment fails or patients desire a more definitive treatment option. Through a case study approach, this article describes the indications for surgery, the essentials of the authors’ multi-disciplinary approach to care and the components of a well-designed education plan for a patient undergoing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.

Selecting appropriate controls in studies of owl nest-site selection (reply to Marks) - Bosakowski, T.; Smith, D.G. (Journal of Field Ornithology, 2001)
Marks (2001) is critical of our study of nest-site selection in Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) because we compared our data from owl nests with data from random points rather than from unused stick nests. We argue that Great Horned Owls have so many options for nesting in eastern forests that there is little constraint on nest-site selection. Therefore, their choice of nest sites is determined largely by vegetation characteristics in the surrounding landscape, and comparison of owl nests with random points is the best way to assess nest-site selection. Furthermore, we believe that use of unused nests as controls, as advocated by Marks, is biased because control nests will have many of the same characteristics as nests used by owls.

Spectacle at the disco: Boogie nights, soundtrack, and the New American musical - Ritter, K. (Journal of Popular Film and Television, 2001)
In our postmodern visual culture, the idea of spectacle conjures images of excess. In defining spectatorship, we emphasize the visual, drawing physical eyewitnesses toward the spectacular moment itself and into the reification of that moment on the film screen. However, recent Hollywood cinema has challenged the notion that all spectacle must take place within the realm of the visual, as many films strive to reach spectators aurally, via their soundtracks. In particular, popular song has been used in many commercially successful films to re-create each spectator's relationship with his or her past. Films with best-selling pop soundtracks, such as The Wedding Singer and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, among others, have financially exploited the spectator's attention to familiar song within comedic narratives, prompting viewers to purchase collections of songs they may already own, motivated by nostalgia and pleasant rearrangements of these songs within light, entertaining narratives. In other cases, “retro” films such as 54 and The Last Days of Disco have attempted to capitalize on the popularity of musical trends, such as disco, to revisit what the “scene” meant to its patrons, as well as what disco might mean commercially to new generations. But rarely do the songs in this type of film serve as anything but collective backdrop or the means by which a filmmaker might establish setting, particularly in terms of a decade. They merely reconfigure radio programming, reorder Top 40 hits for a theatrical space. © 2001 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Online research to guide knowledge management planning - Steckler, A.; Farel, A.; Bontempi, J.B.; Umble, K.; Polhamus, B.; Trester, A. (Health Education Research, 2001)
The current paper describes the process and results of an effort to find a way to effectively manage and diffuse prevention knowledge. This study shows the role that today's communication technologies can play in ensuring collaboration and participation in both the design and use of a knowledge management system (KMS) for prevention research, practice and policy. In the context of this study, 'prevention research' includes primary through tertiary prevention efforts consistent with general applied public health research in the US. An online Delphi study was used to engage a set of prevention research constituencies in the design of a mechanism to enhance the potential for effective technology transfer. A three-round Delphi was conducted with 58 stakeholders and key informants involved in prevention: government-level policy makers, researchers and front-line practitioners. The study resulted in consensus on 34 functions and 32 output/content elements of a proposed web-based KMS called Prevention-Effects.net. The paper also describes the implications of both the processes of development and the benefits of the proposed system for those interested in prevention.

Pain in older adults - Wallace, M. (Annals of Long-Term Care, 2001)
Pain is a prevailing clinical problem among older adults resulting in systemic agitation and altered quality of life. Although the possibility remains that older adults experience and report less pain, the need exists to objectively evaluate pain in order to provide the most effective pain management. Several standardized tools are available to assess pain in older adults at baseline and at subsequent, frequent intervals. Following an objective assessment, pain may be managed with pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods.

The Effects of Low-Dose Creatine Supplementation Versus Creatine Loading in Collegiate Football Players - Wilder, N.; Deivert, R.G.; Hagerman, F.; Gilders, R. (Journal of Athletic Training, 2001)
Objective: To compare the effects of low doses of creatine and creatine loading on strength, urinary creatinine concentration, and percentage of body fat. Design and Setting: Division IA collegiate football players took creatine monohydrate for 10 weeks during a sport-specific, periodized, off-season strength and conditioning program. One-repetition maximum (1-RM) squat, urinary creatinine concentrations, and percentage of body fat were analyzed. Subjects: Twenty-five highly trained, Division IA collegiate football players with at least 1 year of college playing experience. Measurements: We tested strength with a 1-RM squat exercise before, during, and after creatine supplementation. Percentage of body fat was measured by hydrostatic weighing before and after supplementation. Urinary creatinine concentration was measured via light spectrophotometer at 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 48, 56, and 63 days. An analysis of variance with repeated measures was computed to compare means for all variables. Results: Creatine supplementation had no significant group, time, or interaction effects on strength, urinary creatinine concentration, or percentage of body fat. However, significant time effects were found for 1-RM squat and fat-free mass in all groups. Conclusions: Our data suggest that creatine monohydrate in any amount does not have any beneficial ergogenic effects in highly trained collegiate football players. However, a proper resistance training stimulus for 10 weeks can increase strength and fat-free mass in highly trained athletes.

The paper bag principle: Of the myth and the motion of colorism - Kerr, A.E. (Journal of American Folklore, 2005)
This article, extracted from a larger study, is attentive to the national folk culture of African-American communities - especially rumor and legend - in a number of city centers. The study begins with Washington, D.C., as a representative model to examine the role of complexion-related lore in black neighborhoods, organizations, and institutions, and then extends outward to other urban areas. Complexion lore, the article argues, functioned as a sophisticated negotiation of racism, wherein black residents complicated American urban principles of inclusion and exclusion by integrating color notions into institutional oral history.

Moving forward together: The practice doctorate in nursing - O'Sullivan, A.L.; Carter, M.; Marion, L.; Pohl, J.M.; Werner, K.E. (Online Journal of Issues in Nursing, 2005)
Societal drivers, as well as trends in education and health care, are advancing the practice doctorate in nursing. For nurse practitioner preparation, the current resurgence of interest in the practice doctorate could precipitate change that mimics the evolution from post-basic certificate to Master's level education. The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) is a resource for the study of the practice doctorate relative to quality nurse practitioner education. This article will offer some insights into the movement toward the practice doctorate by describing, from the NP perspective, the societal impetus for change, the historical perspective of NP and doctoral education, the 4 Ws (why, what, where, and when) of the movement, and some of the myths and realities about the practice doctorate. © 2005 Online Journal of Issues in Nursing.

From l'état, c'est moi to l'état, c'est l'état: Mapping in early modern France - Petto, C.M. (Cartographica, 2005)
Using the printed works of two French cartographers, Alexis-Hubert Jaillot and Guillaume Delisle, I investigate how the changing interests of the government directed not only the process of map-making but the rhetoric evident in printed maps and atlases. Jaillot, a commercial map publisher flourishing during the second half of the seventeenth century, produced maps that participated in the fabrication of the image of Louis XIV. Maps served this "cult of image" and contributed to a multimedia show to glorify the reign of the Sun King and to support his personal state - l'état, c'est moi. In the eighteenth century, while a rhetoric of image was still present on printed maps, the "cult of image" was dead and mapping appealed to the rise of the impersonal or bureaucratized state - l'état, c'est l'état. Delisle produced maps as instruments of statecraft that aided the state in furthering its domestic and international interests. In particular, printed maps of the Americas served the government's need to acquire greater territorial control. While images were still powerful on New World maps, the French boundary claims, egregious to some, if uncontested could be produced time and again as a true representation and legitimization of territorial control.

Theory of paramagnetic scattering in highly frustrated magnets with long-range dipole-dipole interactions: The case of the Tb2Ti 2O7 pyrochlore antiferromagnet - Enjalran, M.; Gingras, M.J.P. (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2004)
Highly frustrated antiferromagnets composed of magnetic rare-earth moments are currently attracting much experimental and theoretical interest. Rare-earth ions generally have small exchange interactions and large magnetic moments. This makes it necessary to understand in detail the role of long-range magnetic dipole-dipole interactions in these systems, in particular, in the context of spin-spin correlations that develop in the paramagnetic phase, but are often unable to condense into a conventional long-range magnetic-ordered phase. This scenario is most dramatically emphasized in the frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnet material Tb2Ti2O7, which does not order down to 50 mK despite an antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature TCW∼-20 K. In this paper we report results from mean-field theory calculations of the paramagnetic elastic neutron scattering in highly frustrated magnetic systems with long-range dipole-dipole interactions, focusing on the Tb2Ti2O7 system. Modeling Tb 2Ti2O7 as an antiferromagnetic 〈111〉 Ising pyrochlore, we find that the mean-field paramagnetic scattering is inconsistent with the experimentally observed results. Through simple symmetry arguments we demonstrate that the observed paramagnetic correlations in Tb 2Ti2O7 are precluded from being generated by any spin Hamiltonian that considers only Ising spins, but are qualitatively consistent with Heisenberg-like moments. Explicit calculations of the paramagnetic scattering pattern for both 〈111〉 Ising and Heisenberg models, which include finite single-ion anisotropy, support these claims. We offer suggestions for reconciling the need to restore spin isotropy with the Ising-like structure suggested by the single-ion properties of Tb3+.

Neutron scattering investigation of the spin ice state in Dy 2Ti2O7 - Fennell, T.; Petrenko, O.A.; Fåk, B.; Bramwell, S.T.; Enjalran, M.; Yavors'kii, T.; Gingras, M.J.P.; Melko, R.G.; Balakrishnan, G. (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2004)
Dy2Ti2O7 has been advanced as an ideal spin ice material. We present a neutron scattering investigation of a single-crystal sample of 162Dy2Ti2O 7. The scattering intensity has been mapped in zero applied field in the h,h,l and h,k,0 planes of reciprocal space at temperatures between 0.05 and 20 K. The measured diffuse scattering has been compared with that predicted by the dipolar spin ice model. The comparison is good, except at the Brillouin-zone boundaries where extra scattering appears in the experimental data. It is concluded that the dipolar spin ice model provides a successful basis for understanding Dy2Ti2O7, but that there are issues which remain to be clarified.

Audit effectiveness preceding bankruptcy in UK financial institutions - Malgwi, C.A.; Emenyonu, E.N. (International Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Performance Evaluation, 2004)
This study investigates audit effectiveness (or the lack thereof) of audit opinions issued by auditors preceding company bankruptcies. Data from all 26 bankrupt UK financial institutions were used to determine if auditor appropriately issued opinions other than unqualified, as signs of non-going concern determine any differences in audit-opinion effectiveness between international and domestic audit firms. Results show that unqualified opinions issued was significantly higher than other opinions prior to bankruptcy. While international audit firms were less likely to issue unqualified opinions than their domestic counterparts no firm issued adverse or disclaimer of opinions in any given year, despite serious warning signals from return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and current ratios. © 2004 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Jaltomata andersonii (Solanaceae): A new species of Peru - Mione, T.; Leiva G., S.; Yacher, L. (Rhodora, 2004)
Jaltomata andersonii (Solanaceae), here named, is distributed on the western slope of the Andes, in the Departments of Ancash and Lima, Peru, from 2300 to 3400 m of elevation. This species differs from others of the genus by having an unarticulated axis connecting the flower to the plant where all others have both a peduncle and a pedicel. The following combination of features also characterize this species: the hairs of leaves and axes are gland-tipped; the petiole is no longer than 1 cm; the flowers are solitary; the corolla is broadly crateriform-rotate, purple, and up to 3.7 cm in diameter; and the filaments are extremely villous at their bases.

Multiple Independent Identification Decisions: A Method of Calibrating Eyewitness Identifications - Pryke, S.; Lindsay, R.C.L.; Dysart, J.E.; Dupuis, P. (Journal of Applied Psychology, 2004)
Two experiments (N = 147 and N = 90) explored the use of multiple independent lineups to identify a target seen live. In Experiment 1, simultaneous face, body, and sequential voice lineups were used. In Experiment 2, sequential face, body, voice, and clothing lineups were used. Both studies demonstrated that multiple identifications (by the same witness) from independent lineups of different features are highly diagnostic of suspect guilt (G. L. Wells & R. C. L. Lindsay, 1980). The number of suspect and foil selections from multiple independent lineups provides a powerful method of calibrating the accuracy of eyewitness identification. Implications for use of current methods are discussed.

Probability and Tempered Modal Eliminativism - Shaffer, M.J. (History and Philosophy of Logic, 2004)
In this paper the strategy for the eliminative reduction of the alethic modalities suggested by John Venn is outlined and it is shown to anticipate certain related contemporary empiricistic and nominalistic projects. Venn attempted to reduce the alethic modalities to probabilities, and thus suggested a promising solution to the nagging issue of the inclusion of modal statements in empiricistic philosophical systems. However, despite the promise that this suggestion held for laying the ‘ghost of modality’ to rest, this general approach, tempered modal eliminativism, is shown to be inadequate for that task. © 2004 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Recent brachiopods from the southern Brazilian shelf: Palaeontological and biogeographical implications - Simoes, M.G.; Kowalewski, M.; Mello, L.H.C.; Rodland, D.L.; Carroll, M. (Palaeontology, 2004)
Until recently, the rhynchonelliform (articulated) brachiopod fauna from the Brazilian continental shelf (western South Atlantic) was represented only by the endemic species Bouchardia rosea (Mawe), reported from coastal waters of the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The present study, based on samples from coastal (<30m), shelf, and continental slope waters (99-485 m), documents the South Atlantic brachiopod fauna and shows that this fauna is more widespread, diverse, and cosmopolitan than previously thought. Based on a total of 16,177 specimens, the following brachiopods have been identified: Bouchardia rosea (Family Bouchardiidae), Platidia anomioides (Family Platidiidae), Argyrotheca cf. cuneata (Family Megathyrididae), and Terebratulina sp. (Family Cancellothyrididae). In coastal settings, the fauna is overwhelmingly dominated by Bouchardia rosea. Rare juvenile (<2 mm) specimens of Argyrotheca cf. cuneata were also found at two shallow-water sites. In shelf settings (100-200 m), the fauna is more diverse and includes Bouchardia rosea, Terebratulina sp., Argyrotheca cf. cuneata, and Platidia anomioides. Notably, Bouchardia rosea was found in waters as deep as 485 m, extending the known bathymetric range of this genus. Also, the record of this brachiopod in waters of the state of Paraná is the southernmost known occurrence of this species. The genera Platidia and Terebratulina are documented here for the first time for the western South Atlantic. The Brazilian brachiopod fauna shares similarities with those from the Atlantic and Indian shelves of southern Africa, and from the Antarctic, Caribbean and Mediterranean waters. The present-day brachiopods of the western South Atlantic are much more cosmopolitan than previously thought and their Cenozoic palaeobiogeographic history has to be reconsidered from that perspective. © The Paleontological Association.

Possible selves in the lives of adult women: A short-term longitudinal study - Anthis, K. (Possible Selves: Theory, Res. and Appl., 2006)
The current study examined the number and content of possible selves in the lives of adult women over the course of a five-month interval. Based on previous empirical studies of possible selves, a variety of hypotheses were proposed that addressed cohort differences in possible selves, continuity and change in possible selves, and predicting changes in possible selves over time with ego-identity. The results indicated mixed support for the hypotheses, but basically replicated previous research findings on possible selves. The findings are discussed in terms of how they extend both descriptive and predictive knowledge of possible selves. © 2006 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

Habitat, food habits, and productivity of Northern Goshawks nesting in Connecticut - Becker, T.E.; Smith, D.G.; Bosakowski, T. (Studies in Avian Biology, 2006)
We documented active nests of the Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) at 16 different areas in Connecticut from 1997-1999. A total of 176 prey individuals were identified from remains found under goshawk nests and prey-plucking posts. Birds represented the dominant component of diets (70.5%) with a lower contribution from mammals (29.5%). Overall, Connecticut goshawk diets were dominated by sciurids and Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus). Productivity calculated from 15 known nesting attempts totaled 32 young for an average of 2.13 young per nesting attempt (range 1-4 young). Goshawks nested in large tracts of mature forests with high levels of canopy cover (82%). The nest site topography was consistent with previous studies finding that goshawks avoid southern slopes. Tree densities in the larger size classes and basal area were characteristic for mature forest. Goshawks constructed their nests in large diameter trees, which averaged 41.7 cm in diameter at breast height. Patch size of contiguous forests surrounding goshawk nests revealed a very high mean of 324.5 ha, thus suggesting that large forest patch size may be important for nesting by this forest interior species. Analysis of 202 ha circles centered on each nest revealed that total forest cover averaged 156.1 ha, which was comprised of 65.2 ha for conifer forest, 75.6 ha for deciduous forest, and 17.4 ha for mixed forest. Overall, the post-fledgling family areas for these nests were dominated by forest cover (>75%). Our results suggest that goshawks usually prefer isolation and little human disturbance at the nest site, but some exceptions were noted. Given the highly fragmented and urbanized landscape of Connecticut, we suggest that goshawk management should focus on providing large tracts of mature forest at least 300 ha in extent.

Ecology of the Northern Goshawk in the New York-New Jersey Highlands - Bosakowski, T.; Smith, D.G. (Studies in Avian Biology, 2006)
Evidence suggests that the Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) was once extirpated in the New York-New Jersey Highlands, but has recolonized the Highlands in the 1960s and 1970s following a dramatic reforestation in the 20th century. The reforestation produced large tracts of contiguous mature forest, which appear to be a primary habitat requirement of this species. Most goshawk nests in the Highlands were found deep in remote forest areas where nest sites are typically distant from human habitation and paved roads. Nest trees were almost always built in co-dominant or dominant trees of the stand, but were seldom built in the largest tree of the nesting stand. Canopy cover is very high (90%) and shrub cover is often reduced or nearly devoid (28.3%) at goshawk nest sites. Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) appears to be the most common prey, but other predominant bird species in diets of Highlands goshawks included the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura), Rock Dove (Columba livia), and blackbirds. Sciurids, including eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus), red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), and gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) were also important components of goshawk diets from the Northeast. Highlands goshawks had a mean prey weight of 365.8 g, with bird prey averaging 332.3 g and mammal prey averaging 442.9 g. In the Highlands, productivity calculated from 36 nesting attempts averaged 1.4 young per nest, lower than found in two Connecticut studies (1.75 and 2.13). Although the goshawk is generally considered to be a permanent resident, dozens of northeastern hawk migration observation stations reveal a small, but distinct, fall migration during non-invasion years. Breeding bird atlas data confirm that the goshawk is rare in New Jersey, moderately rare in Pennsylvania (mostly northern), and numerous in New York. Various factors impacting Highlands goshawks are discussed including interspecific competition, lack of reserves, timber harvesting, tree diseases, and human disturbance factors.

Three non-Bayesian methods of spam filtration: CRM114 at TREC 2007 - Kato, M.; Langeway, J.; Wu, Y.; Yerazunis, W.S. (2007)
For the TREC 2007 conference, the CRM114 team considered three non-Bayesian methods of spam filtration in the CRM114 framework - an SVM based on the "hyperspace" feature==document paradigm, a bit-entropy matcher, and substring compression based on LZ77. As a calibration yardstick, we used the well-tested and widely used CRM114 OSB markov random field system (basically unchanged since 2003). The results show that the SVM has a spam-filtering accuracy of about a factor of two to three better accuracy than the OSB system, that substring compression is somewhat more accurate than OSB, and that bit entropy is somewhat less accurate for the TREC 2007 test sets.

Electrical properties of mismatched interface between InP and GaP - Li, G.-H.; Sun, Y.-N.; Yulius, A.; Broadbridge, C.C.; Woodall, J.M. (Rengong Jingti Xuebao/Journal of Synthetic Crystals, 2007)
The electrical properties of the mismatched interface between InP and GaP have been investigatedted. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image shows the presence of strain relieving, 90° misfit dislocations at the InP/GaP interface. Electrochemical capacitance voltage (ECV) profiling indicates the presence of a high-density sheet of carriers at the interface. AFM image shows a pretty good InP epitaxial layer with surface roughness of 2.48 nm has been obtained.

Normalized change - Marx, J.D.; Cummings, K. (American Journal of Physics, 2007)
Discussions of diagnostic tools that gauge students' conceptual understanding permeate the literature. Many instructors report their class' normalized gain to characterize the change in scores from pre-test to post-test. We describe a new procedure for characterizing these changes. This procedure, which we call the normalized change, c, involves the ratio of the gain to the maximum possible gain or the loss to the maximum possible loss. We also advocate reporting the average of a class' normalized changes and utilizing a particular statistical and graphical approach for comparing average c values. © 2007 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Communication and its development in autism spectrum disorders - Paul, R. (Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Second Edition, 2007)
Introduction Communication deficits are one of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). People with ASD can be slow to begin talking, or may not learn to talk at all; others may learn to produce words and sentences but have difficulty using them effectively to accomplish social interactive goals. In this chapter we will discuss the course of the development of communication in ASD and will outline how communication deficiencies in this population are identified and treated. Before we do, however, we should be clear about three important terms we will be using, which are illustrated in Figure 4.1. The term “communication” is the broadest of this trio. It refers to all forms of sending and receiving messages, not only with language, but in other ways, such as with gestures, body language, even the way we dress. Animals can also communicate by means of their vocalizations to alert others to danger, for example. That's why the largest circle in Figure 4.1 represents communication. Within the realm of communication, language represents a specific type, so it is enclosed within the larger circle of communication in the figure. Language involves the creation of a potentially infinite set of never-before-conveyed messages through the combination of words in rule-governed ways that allow the formation of sentences to express meaning to others. © Cambridge University Press, 2007 and 2009.

Natural environment disaster survival experiences: Narrative research from two communities - Prince, M.; Davies, M.A.P. (Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies, 2007)
We develop a model of sequential responses of disaster survivors as they experience natural disaster stages. The disaster response model is based on the confluence of psychological processes with temporal environmental states that are markers of disaster periods. The study analyzes journalistic narratives taken from informants experiencing natural disasters in two culturally diverse communities. Recorded short-term vivid memory traces of survivors are assumed to accurately project their interpretations of events and experiences, reflected in their narratives. Whilst survivors share many similarities in their profiles of natural disaster response, some cultural differences in response are observed between communities, such as religiosity.

The stellar mass spectrum of the open cluster NGC 3293 - Slawson, R.W.; Ninkov, Z.; Horch, E.P. (Astrophysics and Space Science, 2007)
We have obtained and analyzed UBVRI CCD frames of the young, 4-10 Myr, open cluster NGC 3293 and the surrounding field in order to study its stellar content and determine the cluster's IMF. We found significantly fewer lower mass stars, M≤2.5M ⊙, than expected. This is particularly so if a single age for the cluster of 4.6 Myr is adopted as derived from fitting evolutionary models to the upper main sequence. Some intermediate-mass stars near the main sequence in the HR diagram imply an age for the cluster of about 10 Myr. When compared with the Scalo (The stellar initial mass function. ASP conference series, vol. 24, p. 201, 1998) IMF scaled to the cluster IMF in the intermediate mass range, 2.5≤M/M ⊙≤8.0 where there is good agreement, the high mass stars have a distinctly flatter IMF, indicating an over abundance of these stars, and there is a sharp turnover in the distribution at lower masses. The radial density distribution of cluster stars in the massive and intermediate mass regimes indicate that these stars are more concentrated to the cluster core whereas the lower-mass stars show little concentration. We suggest that this is evidence supporting the formation of massive stars through accretion and/or coagulation processes in denser cluster cores at the expense of the lower mass proto-stars. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

Managing school discipline and implications for school social workers: A review of the literature - Cameron, M. (Children and Schools, 2006)
School disciplinary policies and practices are essential features of life in U.S. schools. Conventional approaches to school discipline - including conduct codes and security methods, suspension, corporal punishment, and teachers' methods of managing student behaviors - rely primarily on deterrence, control, and punishment to maintain order. However, approximately 40 years of research, chiefly in education and psychology, has demonstrated that these policies and practices are often associated with and can contribute to increased disorder in schools and behavioral and academic problems among students. Furthermore, school discipline is sometimes administered prejudicially to those students who may be the most vulnerable. School social workers and all social workers working with children and youths can help schools adopt effective and nonpunitive disciplinary approaches. Key professional actions include advocacy for schoolchildren subject to unfair and overly punitive discipline; educating teachers and administrators about the potential harm associated with conventional disciplinary practices; educating school personnel about effective, nonpunitive approaches; and creating a public campaign to generate popular support for the reform of iatrogenic school disciplinary practices. © 2006 National Association of Social Workers.

School discipline and social work practice: Application of research and theory to intervention - Cameron, M.; Sheppard, S.M. (Children and Schools, 2006)
Research has identified a relationship between school disciplinary actions and poor academic and psychosocial functioning of students subjected to them. The ways in which school discipline is a direct contributor to students' academic and psychosocial difficulty needs to be further established empirically. Several theories, based in existing research and theory in sociology of education and educational psychology, have been proposed to explain the school discipline - student dysfunction relationship. They generally suggest three pathways: disciplinary actions may contribute to students' psychological problems; student misbehavior may be encouraged through ineffective and unintentionally paradoxical learning experiences; and disciplinary practices may damage students' relationship with school. School social workers and others working with children who have been disciplined at school can use these research findings and theories as an assessment framework to guide their interventions.The awareness of the iatrogenic potential of school discipline and informed assessment can support a range of evidence-based alternatives to school discipline. © 2006 National Association of Social Workers.

MOCVD growth and characterization of AlGaInN nanowires and nanostructures - Han, J.; Kim, K.; Su, J.; Gherasimova, M.; Nurmikko, A.V.; Chichibu, S.F.; Broadbridge, C. (2006)
Growth of GaN and AlGaInN nanowires using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is investigated. It is determined that surface kinetics play an important role in non-equilibrium synthesis process such as MOCVD, in contrast to near-equilibrium synthesis by hotwall furnace reactor. Examination of crystallographic properties of GaN nanowires reveals preferential growth directions which are perpendicular to the c-axis. Such a tendency is analyzed by both thermodynamic and kinetic arguments and attributed to the minimization of (side wall) surface energy. Spontaneous formation of Al(Ga)N/GaN coaxial nanowires with distinct emission at 370 nm is observed. It is identified that the interplay between surface kinetics and thermodynamics facilitates the catalytic growth of GaN core while a limited surface diffusion of Al adatoms leads to nonselective, vapor-solid growth of Al(Ga)N sheath. The knowledge of crystallographic alignment is applied to the formation of arrayed GaN nanowires in both vertical and horizontal fashions, resulting in potentially new paradigms for creating nanoscale devices. © 2006 Materials Research Society.

Educational services for students with mental retardation in Kenya - Klarie, M.W. (International Journal of Special Education, 2006)
Research pertaining to issues on educational services for individuals with disabilities in developing countries is scarce. The purpose of this article is to two fold: first, to contribute to the already existing literature, and, secondly, and perhaps more importantly, to provide a foundation for prospective readers to better understand literature regarding educational services for students with mental retardation. This article guides the reader to understand the perspectives towards students with mental retardation, discusses the definition and causes of this condition, and discusses issues pertaining to the identification, assessment and evaluation of these students in Kenya. The core of the article contains a discussion of the various placement options available for this population along with the curriculum in operation in the various settings. Existing barriers to effectively serving this population in Kenya and in other developing countries is also discussed.

The discursive malleability of an identity: A dialogic approach to language "medium" schooling in North India - LaDousa, C. (Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, 2006)
This article employs a dialogic approach, in the parlance of Bakhtin, to explore the ways in which a school's "medium," its primary language of instruction, has become a major category of identity in North India. Many people describe themselves and others by invoking attendance at either a Hindi- or English-medium school. The first task of this article is to account for what Bakhtin calls "centripetal forces" that enable people at different positions in terms of class or school experience to use a common duality of Hindiversus English-medium and its attendant social resonances. The second task is to account for the abilities of a teacher to question the inevitability of the medium divide and to radically reframe what is important about schooling. Her abilities derive, in part, from her experiences with schools, attesting to Bakhtin's insight that centripetal forces in language are never total, and that centrifugal forces arise from complex engagements with institutions. © 2006 by the American Anthropological Association.

We better get this party started! - Lavoie, L.; Markiewicz, J. (College and Undergraduate Libraries, 2006)
Each fall, the Tunxis Library hosts a party. Usually thematic, sometimes didactic, and always cerebral, the library uses the party to communicate our “party line” to the entire campus community: we are here to make your life easier. It's particularly effective when delivered at the start of the semester, before the unrelenting rhythm of classes, committee work, and meetings has begun. Showing the campus community that the library is here to support them is our core theme, wrapped in a party context. Our goal is to create a party that jump-starts the fall semester for everyone. In this article, we describe our most recent parties, focusing how we develop, plan, and execute these promotional initiatives, with little money, but plenty of creativity and teamwork. © 2005 by The Haworth Press, Inc.

Picturing France in the fifteenth century: The map in BNF MS Fr. 4991 - Serchuk, C. (Imago Mundi, 2006)
A map of France is included in a manuscript, dated to around 1460, entitled A tous nobles, which contains a historical account and genealogy of the French kings. The map was produced in the wake of the Hundred Years War, when conflict with the English challenged both French identity and territory. The map, however, smooths over a century of war to reveal a nation both strong and independent. Through the mapmaker's selection of places, and his use of fluvial boundaries to define the area concerned, he has created an image of France shaped by ideology and history that is wholly in keeping with its location in the manuscript, where the renaming of Gaul as France is described. The map reveals the territory of France to be a critical link between the mythical past and the political present. This connection between history and territory, also reiterated in the text itself, is presented in a graphic format that may be related to contemporary practice of using maps along with legal documents in the resolution of territorial disputes. Seen in the light of the king's claim to the lands ruled by his ancestors, the map thus constitutes a rare medieval example of French national identity expressed in relation to French territory. © 2006 Imago Mundi Ltd.

Spin hamiltonian, competing small energy scales, and incommensurate long-range order in the highly frustrated Gd3Ga5O12 garnet antiferromagnet - Yavors'kii, T.; Enjalran, M.; Gingras, M.J.P. (Physical Review Letters, 2006)
Despite the availability of a spin Hamiltonian for the Gd3Ga5O12 garnet (GGG) for over 25 years, there has so far been little theoretical insight regarding the many unusual low temperature properties of GGG. Here we investigate GGG in zero magnetic field using mean-field theory. We reproduce the spin liquid-like correlations and, most importantly, explain the positions of the sharp peaks seen in powder neutron diffraction experiments. We show that it is crucial to treat accurately the long-range nature of the magnetic dipolar interactions to allow for a determination of the small exchange energy scales involved in the selection of the experimental ordering wave vector. Our results show that the incommensurate order in GGG is classical in nature, intrinsic to the microscopic spin Hamiltonian and not caused by weak disorder. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Evaluation of federated searching options for the school library - Abercrombie, S.E. (School Library Media Research, 2008)
Three hosted federated search tools, Follett One Search, Gale PowerSearch Plus, and WebFeat Express, were configured and implemented in a school library. Databases from five vendors and the OPAC were systematically searched. Federated search results were compared with each other and to the results of the same searches in the database's native interface to disclose differences in handling query syntax, searching, retrieval, browsing results, etc. Each product was easily configured, but none were capable of searching every database desired. Simpler Boolean queries are the most successful queries because of the underlying structure and differences of the databases, and the capabilities of certain products. Federated search products succeed in simplifying access to multiple database resources at school, but searching remains different from the familiar Web search engines in many ways. To become more Google-like, federated searching must be done against indexes built in advance instead of the current real-time searching method.

Norbert wiener and the rise of information ethics - Bynum, T.W. (Information Technology and Moral Philosophy, 2008)
To live effectively is to live with adequate information. Thus, communication and control belong to the essence of man's inner life, even as they belong to his life in society. Norbert Wiener SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND ETHICS. Major scientific and technological innovations often have profound social and ethical effects. For example, in Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Copernicus, Newton, and other scientists developed a powerful new model of the universe. This stunning scientific achievement led to increased respect for science and for the power of human reasoning. During that same era, recently invented printing-press technology made it possible to spread knowledge far and wide across Europe, instead of leaving it, as before, in the hands of a privileged minority of scholars. Inspired by these scientific and technological achievements, philosophers, such as Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, re-examined human nature and the idea of a good society. They viewed human beings asrational agentscapable of thinking for themselves and acquiring knowledge through science and books. In addition, they interpreted society as a creation of informed, rational citizens working together throughsocial contracts. These philosophical developments laid foundations for ethical theories such as those of Bentham and Kant, and for political changes such as the American Revolution and the French Revolution. Today, after far-reaching scientific achievements in physics, biology, and cybernetics – and after recent technological advances in digital computing and information networks – philosophers are again rethinking the nature of human beings and of society. © Cambridge University Press 2008 and 2009.

The test of malingered incompetence (TOMI): A forced-choice instrument for assessing cognitive malingering in competence to stand trial evaluations - Colwell, K.; Colwell, L.H.; Perry, A.T.; Wasieleski, D.; Billings, T. (American Journal of Forensic Psychology, 2008)
The TOMI consists of two 25-item, two-alternative, forced-choice scales - General Knowledge (TOMI-G) and Legal Knowledge (TOMI- L) - designed to detect malingered cognitive impairment in CST evaluations. The TOMI was derived and validated with a university sample (N = 242), with a cut score of < 21 providing maximum classification accuracy of hon est and dishonest respondents. Subsequently, the TOMI was administered to forensic inpatient residents (N = 30) and was compared to existing, well- established tests of malingering (the Rey-FIT and the TOMM). Results indi cated strong correlations and predictive agreement for both scales, and dis tinction between honest and probable dishonest respondents for the TOMI-L. A third study provided additional validation for the TOMI in distinguishing honest from dishonest student respondents (N = 120) and examined the ef fects of motivation on response style. For dishonest responders, those in the high motivation group scored significantly lower than those in the low moti vation group, further betraying their dishonesty. The utility of the TOMI as a useful, novel tool for forensic practitioners is discussed. Copyright 2008 American Journal of Forensic Psychology.

Strontium isotope evidence for prehistoric migration at Chokepukio, Valley of Cuzco, Peru - Andrushko, V.A.; Buzon, M.R.; Simonetti, A.; Creaser, R.A. (Latin American Antiquity, 2009)
Although Spanish chroniclers referred frequently to coerced migration in the Inca Empire, these migrations have been difficult to document archaeologically. One approach to migration studies, strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis, has emerged as an effective technique. Until now, however, this method has not been applied to the Inca heartland region of Cuzco, Peru. In this study, we use strontium isotope analysis to examine patterns of prehistoric migration in the Cuzco Valley. Human dental enamel samples from the Cuzco Valley site of Chokepukio are analyzed and compared to the local 87Sr/86Sr signature established through faunal specimens. Though tentative due to a small sample size, the isotope results do not provide evidence for migration at this site from the time periods preceding the rise of the Inca Empire (200 B.C. to A.D. 1400). In contrast, there is substantial evidence for migration during the time of Inca imperialism (A.D. 1400-1532). Among these migrants, variation in 87Sr/86Sr values suggests that individuals emigrated from geologically diverse locations, while sex differences in the migrant group include a higher percentage of females and a greater diversity in female 87Sr/86Sr values. These data, along with ethnohistoric evidence, reveal how Inca labor policies reconfigured the composition of populations in the imperial heartland.

Ephemeroptera (Mayflies) - Burian, S.K. (Encyclopedia of Inland Waters, 2009)
Mayflies are members of a small, but diverse order of aquatic insects that dates back some 290. My. Mayflies are widely distributed on all continents and most large islands. Currently, the order contains about 3100. species distributed among 42 extant families. Adults are fully terrestrial and short lived, but the aquatic nymphs can live for more than a year and are important components of nutrient and energy pathways in a wide range of aquatic habitats. Higher classification and phylogeny of the mayflies are still in a state of flux, but evidence is accumulating providing stronger support for some groups. Alpha-level taxonomy still remains a problem and much work remains to be done in some genera and in some parts of the world. Extensive morphological studies have provided a solid base of knowledge, but similarly intense physiological, histological, and immunological studies are needed. Much work has been done on the ecology of genera and some species. Much finer scale ecological studies are needed to better understand the importance of small-scale ecological interactions among instars of the same and different species. Globally, there are many surveys in progress to document and map the occurrence and distribution of species. This work is critical to developing conservation strategies for mayflies and other vulnerable aquatic species. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A photometric analysis of seventeen binary stars using speckle imaging - Davidson Jr., J.W.; Baptista, B.J.; Horch, E.P.; Franz, O.; Van Altena, W.F. (Astronomical Journal, 2009)
Magnitude differences obtained from speckle imaging are used in combination with other data in the literature to place the components of binary star systems on the H-R diagram. Isochrones are compared with the positions obtained, and a best-fit isochrone is determined for each system, yielding both masses of the components as well as an age range consistent with the system parameters. Seventeen systems are studied, 12 of which were observed with the 0.6 m Lowell-Tololo Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory and six of which were observed with the WIYN 3.5 m Telescope (The WIYN Observatory is a joint facility of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Indiana University, Yale University, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatories) at Kitt Peak. One system was observed from both sites. In comparing photometric masses to mass information from orbit determinations, we find that the photometric masses agree very well with the dynamical masses, and are generally more precise. For three systems, no dynamical masses exist at present, and therefore the photometrically determined values are the first mass estimates derived for these components. © 2009 The American Astronomical Society.

Assisted reproductive technology: Ethical challenges for business and medicine - Flynn, D. (International Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, 2009)
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is a modern technological tool that provides otherwise infertile individuals and couples an opportunity to conceive. As a multimillion dollar business, ART faces challenges common to other highly profitable enterprises, such as how and when to measure success. This poses ethical challenges as well, though these are unlike the ethical challenges faced by businesses which trade in consumer goods. ART makes babies. Individuals and couples seeking ART may be both vulnerable and fragile, thus ART providers must gently balance smart business practices with ethical care delivery. Applying Laura Nash's integrated approach to business ethics may offer ART providers a suitable model that combines ethically sound care with economically sound business practice. Key to Nash's approach are value creation, economic and social benefit, and relationship building. Not a short-term approach to quick business decisions, Nash's approach requires a long-term commitment as a way of doing business. © Common Ground, Deborah Flynn, All Rights Reserved.

Full ideals - Hong, J.; Lee, H.; Noh, S.; Rush, D.E. (Communications in Algebra, 2009)
Contractedness of m-primary integrally closed ideals played a central role in the development of Zariski's theory of integrally closed ideals in two-dimensional regular local rings (R, m). In such rings, the contracted m-primary ideals are known to be characterized by the property that I: m = I: x for some x ∈ m\m2. We call the ideals with this property full ideals and compare this class of ideals with the classes of m-full ideals, basically full ideals, and contracted ideals in higher dimensional regular local rings. The m-full ideals are easily seen to be full. In this article, we find a sufficient condition for a full ideal to be m-full. We also show the equivalence of the properties full, m-full, contracted, integrally closed, and normal, for the class of parameter ideals. We then find a sufficient condition for a basically full parameter ideal to be full. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Binary and multiple stars - Horch, E. (Astrometry for astrophysics: Methods, Models, and Applications, 2009)
Introduction Two or more stars that are located close together in space interact gravitationally, causing deviations from linear motion as each star is accelerated. If we consider the case of two stars with a physical separation of many times the radius of either star (but still close enough to generate significant accelerations), it is sufficient to consider the stars as point masses. The equations of motion for such a system can be solved by assuming the inverse-square law of gravity and applying Newton's laws of motion. Newton's solution elegantly explained Kepler's laws of planetary motion, since one of the general solutions of motion is an ellipse with the more massive body (the Sun, in the case of the Solar System) at one focus. Kepler's third law of planetary motion (i.e. the harmonic law) as applied to the binary-star situation can be written where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two stars in solar units, a is the semi-major axis of the relative orbital ellipse in astronomical units, and P is the orbital period of the system in years. If you can only apply this formula, then it is not possible to obtain individual masses from the observables on the right-hand side, nor is the mass sum possible without an estimate of the parallax of the system (which allows for the conversion of a from an angular measure to astronomical units). Furthermore, while it is usually possible to measure the orbital period to high precision, the application of the formula is complicated by the fact that the semi-major axis, and implicitly the parallax, is raised to the third power. © Cambridge University Press 2013.

Undergraduates and intercultural communication competence: Creating a plan for performance - Madlock, A. (International Journal of Learning, 2009)
Some studies indicate that students develop intercultural communication competence through interaction in multicultural classrooms. However, what happens when classrooms are predominately homogenous and student exposure to other cultures is limited to media representations? It is not uncommon to find this situation still existing on some college campuses in the United States of America, where students have never come in contact with individuals different from themselves, beyond service industry workers, if any contact is made at all. The idea of establishing a significant relationship with someone culturally different is not given any thought. As an instructor of color how does one get students to move beyond their comfort zone and take action to meet individuals that are culturally different outside of the classroom? This paper describes the results of a textual analysis using grounded theory of student writing as they reflect on how to develop and implement effective communication strategies with individuals culturally and ethnically different from themselves outside of the classroom. The results of which might also be used to transform thinking about the diverse community surrounding the university and influence future decision-making on issues of social justice and human equality. © Common Ground, Annette Madlock.

Playing the feminine card: Women of the early modern map trade - Petto, C.M. (Cartographica, 2009)
Images of allegorical women have often appeared on maps or in atlas frontispieces as objects in need of security provided by male protectors or as the counterpoint, objects to be dominated by male possessors. Exploring the role of women in the early modern map trade initially reveals not only a similar male dominance but also similar calls for protection. Nearly 10 years ago, Alice Hudson and Mary McMichael Ritzlin produced a checklist of about 300 pre-twentieth-century women in cartography. The present work contributes to the further investigation of some of these women in the early modern map trade and studies in the allied field of book printing, and more general works on women in commercial trade provide the framework for this piece. Women in the map trade were quite cognizant of the challenges of their gender and used a feminine discourse-that is, they played the feminine card-when it served their interests. All of these women, however, participated in the male discourse of the corporate community, which entailed not only making contracts and partnerships and advertising and producing new works but also making use of the social network within the trade, as well as exploiting the patronage connections cultivated by their husbands before them.

The great industrial war: Framing class conflict in the media, 1865-1950 - Rondinone, T. (The Great Industrial War: Framing Class Confl ict in the Media, 1865-1950, 2009)
The Great Industrial War, a comprehensive assessment of how class has been interpreted by the media in American history, documents the rise and fall of a frightening concept: industrial war. Moving beyond the standard account of labor conflict as struggles between workers and management, Troy Rondinone asks why Americans viewed big strikes as "battles" in "irrepressible conflict" between the armies of capital and laborùa terrifying clash between workers, strikebreakers, police, and soldiers.Examining how the mainstream press along with the writings of a select group of influential reformers and politicians framed strike news, Rondinone argues that the Civil War, coming on the cusp of a revolution in industrial productivity, offered a gruesome, indelible model for national conflict. He follows the heated discourse on class war through the nineteenth century until its general dissipation in the mid-twentieth century. Incorporating labor history, cultural studies, linguistic anthropology, and sociology, The Great Industrial War explores the influence of historical experience on popular perceptions of social order and class conflict and provides a reinterpretation of the origins and meaning of the Taft-Hartley Act and the industrial relations regime it supported. copyright © 2010 by Troy Rondinone All rights reserved.

Microbial diversity of boron-rich volcanic hot springs of St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles - Stout, L.M.; Blake, R.E.; Greenwood, J.P.; Martini, A.M.; Rose, E.C. (FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2009)
The volcanic Sulphur Springs, St. Lucia, present an extreme environment due to high temperatures, low pH values, and high concentrations of sulfate and boron. St. Lucia offers some unique geochemical characteristics that may shape the microbial communities within the Sulphur Springs area. We chose six pools representing a range of geochemical characteristics for detailed microbial community analyses. Chemical concentrations varied greatly between sites. Microbial diversity was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene clone library analyses. With the exception of one pool with relatively low concentrations of dissolved ions, microbial diversity was very low, with Aquificales sequences dominating bacterial communities at most pools. The archaeal component of all pools was almost exclusively Acidianus spp. and did not vary between sites with different chemical characteristics. In the pool with the highest boron and sulfate concentrations, only archaeal sequences were detected. Compared with other sulfur springs such as those at Yellowstone, the microbial diversity at St. Lucia is very different, but it is similar to that at the nearby Lesser Antilles island of Montserrat. While high elemental concentrations seem to be related to differences in bacterial diversity here, similarities with other Lesser Antilles sites suggest that there may be a biogeographical component as well. © 2009 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.
