Imagine/Align
No full textImagine/Align is a site-specific, community-based art installation by Susan Skarsgard at the University of Michigan Nichols Arboretum. This project, which bloomed for the first time in April 2004, is a one-half mile long line of 20,000 yellow daffodils traversing the environment, mapping thought and inspiring contemplation on the often arbitrary nature of imposed lines and borders drawn on the earth.Documentarian: Adam Smith; Project author/artis: Susan Skarsgard; Video and Photography: Lisa Spindler, Susan Skarsgard, Theresa Rocha, John Harnois, Joseph Knapp, Wayne Morrical, Jacques Mersereau, Urmila Venkatesh; Music: Toumani Diabate, with Ballake Sissokohttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/62018/1/Imagine-Align_ASmith.mo
The academic success of transfer students in the College of Agriculture at Texas A&M University
No full textPurpose [line break] The purpose of this study was to identify and translate data relative to transfer students in the College of Agriculture at Texas A&M University that would serve for effective counseling within the College of Agriculture, in transferring institutions, and in high schools. To this end, the following specific objectives were developed as guidelines for the research: 1. To relate scholastic aptitude to kinds of students (native or transfer), to curricular choices of transfer students, and to size of high school graduating classes of transfer students. 2. To compare the academic success of transfer and native students. 3. To determine the relationship between selected factors and academic success. [line break] Procedures [line break] The procedures of this investigation involved the accumulating of relevant data for 152 transfer students and 134 natives in the College of Agriculture at Texas A&M University who first enrolled in any college or university in the summer or fall of 1963. These subjects were grouped appropriately and then tested statistically. Comparisons of scholastic aptitude test scores were made by analysis of variance. Comparisons of grade point ratios involving adjustments for differences in scholastic aptitude were made by analysis of covariance and others by analysis of variance. Where appropriate, individual means were compared by test of least significant differences. Chi-square tests were used to compare persistence. ..

An Account of the 1955 Ministerial Assembly in Holmes and Wayne Counties, OH: An English Translation of Joseph E. Peachey’s \u3cem\u3eAllgemeine Diener Versammlung Den 26, 27, 28, Sept. 1955\u3c/em\u3e [\u3cem\u3eGeneral Ministerial Assembly, September 26th, 27th, and 28th, 1955\u3c/em\u3e]
No full textThis is a German-to-English translation of Bishop Joseph E. Peachey’s (Belleville, PA) account of the September 1955 Allgemeinie Diener Versammlung in Holmes-Wayne Counties, OH. While Holmes-Wayne Amish leaders called the meeting, seeking to achieve peace and resolution, instead, the meeting finalized a pending schism between the Old Order (or South Churches) and the Andy Weaver (or Dan) factions. The main focus was on a group of laymen that had withdrawn from the Orrville Amish church (Wayne County) because they did not want to practice a Bann the church district leaders had decreed. The faction received help from an Amish bishop in Holmes County, who had support from some Amish leaders. The meeting revealed widespread tension both in the Holmes-Wayne Amish community and in other Amish communities, specifically about the Bann and revivalist ideas. Peachey’s account provides a chronological account of the September 1955 meeting, including the counsels, decisions, and actions of the assembled. The author also shares about his travels to and from the meeting. [Abstract by editor
A Tribute to the Mind, Methodology and Mentoring of Wayne Velicer
No full textWayne Velicer is remembered for a mind where mathematical concepts and calculations intrigued him, behavioral science beckoned him, and people fascinated him. Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin on March 4, 1944, he was raised on a farm, although early influences extended far beyond that beginning. His Mathematics BS and Psychology minor at Wisconsin State University in Oshkosh, and his PhD in Quantitative Psychology from Purdue led him to a fruitful and far-reaching career. He was honored several times as a high-impact author, was a renowned scholar in quantitative and health psychology, and had more than 300 scholarly publications and 54,000+ citations of his work, advancing the arenas of quantitative methodology and behavioral health. In his methodological work, Velicer sought out ways to measure, synthesize, categorize, and assess people and constructs across behaviors and time, largely through principal components analysis, time series, and cluster analysis. Further, he and several colleagues developed a method called Testing Theory-based Quantitative Predictions, successfully applied to predicting outcomes and effect sizes in smoking cessation, diet behavior, and sun protection, with the potential for wider applications. With $60,000,000 in external funding, Velicer also helped engage a large cadre of students and other colleagues to study methodological models for a myriad of health behaviors in a widely applied Transtheoretical Model of Change. Unwittingly, he has engendered indelible memories and gratitude to all who crossed his path. Although Wayne Velicer left this world on October 15, 2017 after battling an aggressive cancer, he is still very present among us

No full textTroticene lithiation and platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation using dimethylsilyl- troticene and ferrocene derivatives:
No full textThe lithiation of troticene was studied. Monolithiation of troticene at 0 °C preferentially occurred at the cycloheptatrienyl (Cht) ligand,1,2 while monolithiation at room temperature preferentially occurred at the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand. Dimethylsilyl-, trimethylstannyl-, diphenylphosphino-, and trimethylsilyl-derivatives were prepared in this manner. The monolithio-cycloheptatrienyl-troticene was found to be less stable at higher temperatures than the monolithio-cyclopentadienyl-troticene. Dilithiation of troticene was readily achieved using 2.5 equiv. n-butyllithium/TMEDA,3 and using an even greater excess of lithiating agent led to greater degrees of lithiation of up to 4 lithiums. Disubstituted Cp ligands are predominantly 1,3-disubstituted, while disubstituted Cht ligands are predominantly 1,4-disubstituted. Substituted troticene derivatives were also lithiated. Just like the 1-pot polylithiation, disubstituted Cp ligands are predominantly 1,3-disubstituted. However, disubstituted Cht ligands are either 1,4- or 1,3-disubstituted.
Dimethylsilyl-troticene derivatives were used in the preparation of troticene- based polymers/oligomers containing silylenevinylenephenylene-/thienylene-bridged metallocene units along with the appropriate model compounds. The regiochemical distributions obtained were consistent with those obtained by Jain and coworkers using dimethylsilyl ferrocene derivatives, with low molecular weights and no metal-metal interaction between the metallocene units.4,5
Hydrosilylation reactions of bis(dimethylsilyl)- ferrocene or troticene gave lower β(E)- to α- olefinic proton ratios compared to dimethylsilyl- ferrocene or troticene, the latter two giving regiochemical distributions consistent with those of 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene or dimethylsilylbenzene. These results were consistent regardless of whether phenylacetylene, ethynyltoluene, or ethynylthiophene was used as the alkyne.
A comparison between the hydrosilylation mono-β(E)- and mono-α- adducts of 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene and 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene with phenylacetylene was done. The hydrosilylation reactions of the mono-β(E)- adducts of both compounds as well as the mono-α- adduct of 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene were all consistent with each other, preferring a β(E)- configuration in the hydrosilylation of the second dimethylsilyl-moiety. In contrast, the mono-α- adduct of 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene preferred an α- configuration in the hydrosilylation of the second dimethylsilyl-moiety. In addition, the mono-α- adduct of 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene was more readily converted into the bis-adducts than the mono-β(E)- adduct. These factors led to an increased amount of α-olefinic protons in hydrosilylation reactions of 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 236-254)by Rhyan Josephy Soriano Terrad
