Ram Pressure Induced Star Formation in Abell 3266
No full textAn X-ray observation of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 3266 was obtained via the ROSAT PSPC. This information, along with spectroscopic data from the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-clusters Survey (i.e. WINGS), were used to investigate whether ram pressure is a mechanism that influences star formation. Galaxies exhibiting ongoing star formation are identified by the presence of strong Balmer lines (Hβ), known to correspond to early type stars. Older galaxies where a rapid increase in star formation has recently ceased, known as E+A galaxies, are identified by strong Hβ absorption coupled with little to no [OII] emission. The correlation between recent star formation and ""high"" ram pressure, as defined by Kapferer et al. (2009) as ≥ 5 x 10-11 dyn cm-2, was tested and lead to a contradiction of the previously held belief that ram pressure influences star formation on the global cluster scale
Johnny Unitas: Baltimore's Cold Warrior
No full textA hero or an ideal individual is often venerated as such to fulfill a social or psychological need, and the embrace of Johnny Unitas as a symbol of the ideal Cold War common man is no different. Johnny Unitas and his identity as a suburban father and husband allowed men in the 1950's and 1960's to come to terms with the changing state of masculinity. By representing the masculine identity that developed in the post-war era while being a successful professional football player, Johnny Unitas allowed men to embrace changes to traditional masculinity by showing the possibility of maintaining traditional traits of masculinity while embracing this new lifestyle. This article examines the image of Johnny Unitas interpreted by middle and working class men and the ways in which sportswriters and advertisers promoted views of Unitas as the ideal Cold War common man
Relation of Need for Cognition to Intention to Enter the Professoriate and Graduate Program Level and Field
No full textResearch shows that need for cognition, a construct that reflects enjoyment of and inclination to engage in effortful cognitive activity, has implications for academic achievement and career choice. These studies, including those demonstrating need for cognition's significant, positive relation to level of education and to course grades, have typically involved college undergraduates. The present study used a graduate student sample to examine the relation of need for cognition to graduate level of education (master's versus Ph.D.), field of study (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math [STEM] versus non-STEM), and desire to enter the professoriate. Results indicated no significant between-group differences in need for cognition among primary variables, but secondary analyses yielded differences based on ethnicity, as well as significant relations among other variables, such as interest in the professoriate, age, and field of study. Implications include the need to examine perceptions of faculty careers among STEM graduate students and the value of exploring multicultural interpretations of the Need for Cognition Scale

Kuhn Library Special Collections and the Department of Visual Art to foster creative engagement with archival holdings in conjunction with the 2014 Society for Photographic Education annual conference. UMBC's Special Collections offered a selection of images from the Hughes Company Glass Negatives (http://contentdm.ad.umbc.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/hughes) collection for SPE members and conference attendees to remix, reinvent, reinterpret, and reimagine the images in this collection of Baltimore street scenes, promotional and advertising photographs, businesses, churches, schools, monuments, factories, machinery, and portraits. Images that were created were displayed during the conference as well as on a Tumblr site and are now archived in the Special Collections.
