One aspect of faculty effectiveness can be measured through research productivity, and publication and citation rates can serve as an indicator of that productivity. This study, the fourth in a series to examine LIS faculty ...

LIS schools have produced a limited number of Latino MLS graduates, but they have not attracted them back to pursue doctoral studies and teaching positions. Using a semistructured interview technique, eight “expert” Latino ...

Coming to a large state university, many students have not yet mastered how to effectively learn and study. Creating a freshman learning strategy website would be a step in the right direction to guide and inform students ...

Youth services instructors from five countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States) were surveyed as to the content of youth-oriented courses they had taught between 2000 and 2003. A ...

Instead of the typical argument against a two-sided issue (such as whether moral ambiguity is justified), Steven Johnson changes the roles of the main separation of agreement between the evolution of popular culture and ...

Though literacy is often presented as a universal and monolithic achievement, it is in fact context-dependent, and largely dependent upon the kinds of texts available in a particular community. This paper presents an ...

We developed a Monte Carlo model to calculate light absorption in human and mouse retinas. The retina was modeled as a five-layer spherical structure. The effects of melanin concentrations in the retinal pigment epithelium ...

We examined the expression of target optical properties in subsurface polarization imaging under linearly and circularly polarized illumination. Reflecting, scattering, and absorption targets were imaged in tissue mimic ...

The microscopic origin of the charge and orbital order in the half-doped manganites is examined from ab initio density-functional calculations and exact diagonalization studies. It is shown that the dominant mechanism ...

The cooperative Jahn-Teller coupling between the Mn eg electrons and the oxygen octahedral distortions in LaMnO3 is studied using ab initio density-functional calculations and tight-binding models. The linear and quadratic ...

The Kronig-Penney model of an electron moving in a periodic potential is solved by the so-called tail-cancellation method. The problem also serves as a simple illustration of the tail-cancellation method itself.

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars have several interesting infrared spectral features. Approximately half the oxygen-rich AGB stars to be investigated spectroscopically exhibit a feature at ~13 μm. The carrier of this ...

Statistics on the relative pay of public school teachers are routinely cited by plaintiffs in school finance (“adequacy”) lawsuits. However, comparisons of pay and benefits for public school teachers to those of professional ...

The relative motion of a classical relativistic spinning test particle is studied with respect to a nearby free test particle in the gravitational field of a rotating source. The effects of the spincurvature coupling force ...

This article examines the concept of the analytic third in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically informed organizational change. The analytic third is often defined as the psychological(triangular) space between self and ...

We present a systematic study of the sheet carrier density and valence-band offset in the GaN/AlxGa1−xN(0001) heterostructure as a function of x from ab initio density-functional methods. We find that the calculated sheet ...

We develop a Bayesian procedure for analyzing stationary long-range dependent processes. Specifically, we consider the fractional exponential model (FEXP) to estimate the memory parameter of a stationary long-memory Gaussian ...

Most research on socially responsible consumer behavior has focused on consumer purchasing behavior, therefore, little is known about it during the product disposal stage. This study sought an in-depth understanding of ...

In this paper, we introduce our recent research and development effort on energy-efficient portable video communication system design for wildlife activity monitoring. The capability of seeing what an animal sees in the ...
