Clyne S. Shaffner papers
No full textClyne S. Shaffner (1914-1984) had a lengthy career in Poultry Science, during which he made great advances in preserving chicken sperm through freezing. Shaffner was born April 18, 1914, in Freeland, Michigan. As a young man, he was active in the Michigan Junior Farm Bureau. He earned his B. S. degree at Michigan State College in 1938, his M. S. in 1940, and his Ph. D. from Purdue University in 1947. In 1947 he accepted a position as Associate Professor of Physiology and Genetics in the Department of Poultry Science at the University of Maryland. He served as department head until 1971 and remained at Maryland until his retirement in 1977. A fellow of the Poultry Science Association and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he also served as president of the Poultry Science Association from 1961 to 1962. Shaffner died in West Laurel, Maryland, on May 19, 1984, at the age of seventy. The Clyne S. Shaffner papers contain notes and assignments from Shaffner's classes at Michigan State College and Purdue University in the early 1940s, publications of the Michigan Junior Farm Bureau, and personal letters to Shaffner from Laura Jean Denham

The Functionality of the Biomechanical Prosthetic Finger When Compared to Standardized and Nonstandardized Assessments
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/31/2017
The purpose of this study was to examine the functionality of the biomechanical prosthetic finger. The researchers believe this study provides therapists with evidence to support using this prosthetic as an option for clients with digit amputations.

Digital video analysis of a multimedia product
No full textThis paper begins by describing VideoSearch, a recently developed multimedia software product designed as a research tool to allow researchers to digitise and analyse video on a computer. Codes and labels can be linked to any segment of a digitised video. Identified segments of the video can be recalled at any time. Because the program stores video in a digital format on a hard disk, access and playback of any video segment is almost instantaneous. Simple summary statistics are also available. Next the paper reports on how this product has been used to precisely categorise how students use a multimedia product. The allocation of time to different student activities in formal university settings, has been a subject of interest to researchers in recent years. For example, in a study of the distribution of time devoted to a variety of learning activities, Laurillard found that 'attending' was by far the most common activity. By contrast, anyone who has observed a child playing on a video arcade or Sega/Nintendo game will have noticed that the child has a very active role. However, there is very little time for the child to think in responding to the various challenges presented by the life-and-death situations. Children react rather than consider. For many of these programs, the educational value for the player is inversely proportional to the reaction time required. Both of these situations point to possible shortcomings in learning environments: the first in denying students an active role, the second, in denying a reflective role. The Cognition and Technology Group at Vanderbilt make the point that the learning environments they produce are meant to be explored and discussed at length rather than simply read or watched. In this vein, a program on assessment in mathematics was produced according to principles of situated learning or situated cognition. The program was designed to minimise students' keyboard responses, and maximise thoughtful, active reflection and discussion between the users. As part of an interpretive study into how students use interactive multimedia, small groups of students were videotaped using the assessment resource. VideoSearch was used to facilitate the analysis by coding excerpts of videotaped material into user- defined categories. The findings of the study suggest that an interactive multimedia program based on a situated learning model is conducive to promoting student activities other than attending behaviour. Unlike the traditional university courses mentioned by Laurillard and McNaught, with their emphasis on the transmission mode, the students using the assessment program were able to reflect and discuss their learning for a substantial portion of the available time

Texas Local Emergency Planning Committees: Assessing Compliance, Proactivity, and the Impact of All-Hazards Preparedness
No full textLocal Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) were developed from federal environmental policy legislation in 1986 that aimed to bolster community preparedness for hazardous materials incidents. Collaboration and risk communication are fundamental to LEPCs, so there has been greater emphasis on incorporating homeland security elements into committees as part of a broader adoption of all-hazards planning. This thesis assesses compliance and proactivity for Greater Houston LEPCs to understand how LEPCs organize and operate under changing hazmat safety and security regulations and whether an all-hazards planning approach is more appropriate for the range of existing and emerging threats that communities must prepare for and more frequently expect LEPCs to help coordinate. This research explores the origins of local emergency planning and community resilience, LEPC compliance, and the impact of homeland security—
including securitization theory—on community engagement and right-to-know.
The methodology is a multiphase design using surveys and document analysis to collect data on Greater Houston LEPCs’ organization structure, membership, funding, and preparedness activities. Greater Houston, which includes nine counties—Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, and Waller—and 21 LEPCs, is the selected sample and the study population is all LEPCs in Texas. Data collection was impacted by COVID-19, so document analysis was used in lieu of focus groups. The survey response rate is 9.9% and the completion rate is 89.3%; 196 documents were analyzed for proactivity and compliance related themes.
Greater Houston LEPCs are a mix of well-organized and highly active, active but not highly compliant, and inactive. The LEPCs that are less active or inactive do not have any associated secondary data that suggests they are providing all-hazards planning in lieu of focus on federal requirements—they appear to simply not be doing any preparedness activities. It is unclear why some Greater Houston jurisdictions do not have functional LEPCs, but literature suggests that funding is a leading factor. Another leading factor for Greater Houston LEPCs may be a failure by local governments to ensure that LEPCs receive adequate support and promotion
