Sampling Protocols (1988-1993) of the Pocono Comparative Lakes Program
Details on the methods and protocols by which samples were collected for the 5 years (1989-1993) of the Pocono Comparative Lakes Program in Lakes Giles, Lacawac, and Waynewood -
The school principal as democratic leader: A critique of the Wallace Foundation’s vision of the principalship
What is the role of the public school principal in the contemporary era? As conceived by many in educational policy-making and research today, the duty of the US school leader is to ensure that the district is, above all ... -
Seasonal variation in the hepatoproteome of the dehydration- and freeze-tolerant wood frog, Rana sylvatica
Winter’s advent invokes physiological adjustments that permit temperate ectotherms to cope with stresses such as food shortage, water deprivation, hypoxia, and hypothermia. We used liquid chromatography (LC) in combination ... -
Seasonality of Freeze Tolerance in a Subarctic Population of the Wood Frog, Rana sylvatica
We compared physiological characteristics and responses to experimental freezing and thawing in winter and spring samples of the wood frog, Rana sylvatica, indigenous to Interior Alaska, USA. Whereas winter frogs can survive ... -
Seeking congruity between goals and roles: A new look at why women opt out of STEM careers
Although women have nearly attained equality with men in several formerly male-dominated fields, they remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We argue that one important factor ... -
Self-Efficacy in Introductory Physics in Students at Single-Sex and Coeducational Colleges
We surveyed 88 students at four colleges: one men’s college, two women’s colleges, and one coeducational college. The questions, modified from Reid (2007), asked about in-class participation, how fulfilled they were by ... -
Self-report measures of individual differences in regulatory focus: a cautionary note
(2011-02-07)Regulatory focus theory distinguishes between two independent structures of strategic inclination, promotion versus prevention. However, the theory implies two potentially independent definitions of these inclinations, the ... -
Separate and Unequal at Hillsborough High: A Principal’s Challenges in Integrating “Academic” and Career and Technical Education Coursework
Dr. Edward White, Hillsborough High School principal, has decided to allocate faculty in-service time to address an unproductive chasm between academic and Career and Technical Education programming within the school, which ... -
Signature File Hashing Using Term Occurrence and Query Frequencies
(1992-08-01)Signature files act as a filter on retrieval to discard a large number of non-qualifying data items. Linear hashing with superimposed signatures (LHSS) provides an effective retrieval filter to process queries in dynamic ... -
Signature Files: An Integrated Access Method for Formatted and Unformatted Databases
(1993-05-01)The signature file approach is one of the most powerful information storage and retrieval techniques which is used for finding the data objects that are relevant to the user queries. The main idea of all signature based ... -
A Simple System Dynamics Model For the Wildlife and Fish Resource
(1987-08-01)This research aims to build a dynamic model to describe the major relationships within the "Wildlife and Fish" element of the Forest Service. Our purpose is to capture the major relationships so that the model is capable ... -
A Simulation Game for Software Project Management
(1992-03-01)The software industry is one of the most rapidly growing businesses in our age. Yet, this growth has not been a wellbalanced one. On the one hand, on the technical side, programming languages, programming techniques and ... -
A Simulation of Rapid Evolution: Its Development in the Object-Oriented Paradigm
(1993-01-01)This project centered around an event in population genetics, the modeling necessary to explain it, and the way that the object-oriented paradigm influenced the implementation of the model. This paper is divided into three ... -
A Simulation Tool for the Manufacturing Engineering Department's Flexible Manufacturing Cell
(1996-04-01)The flexible manufacturing cell in the manufacturing engineering department's computer integrated manufacturing systems lab is used to study manufacturing processes. A loop conveyor, an automated storage and retrieval ... -
A Situated Philosophy of Education
Philosophy of education today is broadly divided between two fundamentally different views about the nature of philosophy itself. This meta-debate is almost never engaged directly, and yet it is exemplified in one way ... -
Social Foundations, Disciplinarity, and Democracy.
This article was originally conceived for a paper session at the 2000 American Educational Studies Association conference in Vancouver, a session designed as a “multilogue” on teaching the foundations. In the article we ... -
