Skubitz, Joseph Collection
Get PDFJoe Skubitz was born on May 6, 1907 in Frontenac, Kansas. He attended Girard High School, graduating in 1926 and then attended the Kansas State Teachers College, now Pittsburg State University. He received bachelor’s and master’s degrees while working in public education, and in 1946 received a law degree from George Washington Law School. Skubitz ran for office in 1962 and represented the 5th District of Kansas as a Republican from 1963 to 1979. Among the things he worked towards were benefits for miners suffering from black lung, and to have the old fort at Fort Scott named a National Historic Site administered by the National Park Service.https://digitalcommons.pittstate.edu/fa/1443/thumbnail.jp
STUDY OF THE SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF TWO DIFFERENT FLAME RETARDANTS IN SOY-BASED POLYURETHANE FOAMS
Get PDFPolyurethanes (PUs) are defined as synthetic copolymers prepared using polyols and polyisocyanates. They have a wide range of applications in a variety of products, such as furniture, medical equipment, packaging, foams, coatings, elastomers, and adhesives. Out of all these, one of the most significant commercial products is polyurethane foams (PUFs). However, most of the raw materials used for PUFs production originate from non-renewable sources and due to their highly porous nature, these foams are highly flammable. It is considered essential to combine bio-based components to produce polyurethanes with good flame retardancy. Thus, introducing renewable polyol and halogen-free flame retardant are primary requirement to synthesize PUFs. In this research work, soybean oil (SO) was chemically modified into soybean oil polyol (SOP) through epoxidation and ring-opening reactions. The synthesized bio polyol is characterized using FT-IR, GPC, viscosity, and hydroxyl value. Also, on the basis of nitrogen, phosphorous and nitrogen-phosphorous compound containing three different halogen-free flame retardants (FRs) were introduced to reduce the flammability of PUFs. By adding different amounts of FRs, How synergetic effect of the mixture of nitrogen and phosphorous were affected on the thermal, mechanical and flammable properties were studied. In addition, morphological study was also performed for all the synthesize RPUFs. Results showed a decreasing trend in burning time after the addition of an increasing amount of FRs in PUFs. The lowest flame duration is 5.1 seconds and weight loss of 1.28% were observed for foam containing nitrogen and phosphorous containing FRs
EFFECTS OF MASTERY CRITERION ON RESPONSE MAINTENANCE
Get PDFAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized as having at least two deficits in areas of functioning such as impaired language development, impaired social development, and the presence of excessive or stereotyped repetitive behaviors or interests (Granpeesheh et. al., 2009). Early and intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) is an evidence-based practice for remediating deficits in individuals with ASD (Love et. al., 2008). One important component of intensive intervention is defining the mastery criterion, or the point at which a skill has been learned to a sufficient level that allows for maintenance. Mastery criterion is necessary to progress intervention targets on a rapid and consistent basis. Despite the importance of mastery criterion, there is very little research on the ideal criterion to use, or which mastery level leads to the quickest acquisition and most durable results. The present study focused comparing four mastery criterion levels of 50, 80, 90 and 100%, and the resultant maintenance of skill/target acquisition at four post-mastery intervals (e.g., three weeks following mastery of the skill/target). Four children with ASD between 5-6 years of age participated in the study. A multiple baseline across participants design was used to monitor both skill acquisition and maintenance across four randomly assigned sets of arbitrary stimuli across four skill categories (i.e., receptive labeling, expressive labeling, reading, spelling and matching to sample). Results, though mixed, indicate that higher levels of maintenance occur when higher mastery criterions are used during skill acquisition
AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT: KHEA\u27S STRUGGLE FOR A CONTRACT, 1974-1978
Get PDFIn 1973, the Kansas State College, Pittsburg administration fired thirteen faculty members without cause. In order to improve administration-faculty relations, remaining faculty organized, petitioned for recognition, and drafted PSU/KNEA\u27s first contract with PSU/KBOR, which went into effect five years later. The narrative covering this period draws on Axe Library\u27s KNEA Collection and interviews of former faculty
