Mentoring with Common Sense, by Roy W. Harris and Alton Loveless
No full textMENTORING WITH COMMON SENSE By Roy W. Harris and Alton Loveless. Ashville, OH: FWB Publications (2015) Paperback, 140 pages
Although the concept of mentoring has been around since the beginning of mankind and emerged with emphasis during the mid-1700s, mentoring has become a hot topic only in recent years. in view of the importance of a mentor and the benefits to the mentees, this book illustrates the steps to becoming a good mentor and the ins and outs of mentoring. the author points out that most of us have been mentored at some point in our lives; he strongly encourages us to become mentors so that we can also influence and impact the lives of others who might learn from our experience

A comparison of attitudes toward divorce for Black adults reared in intact versus nonintact families of origin, 1995
No full textThis study examined the attitudes toward divorce of Black graduate students from intact and nonintact families of origin. The study hypotheses predicted that Black adults from nonintact families of origin would hold more positive attitudes toward divorce than Black adults from intact families of origin and that gender would significantly mediate the relationship between attitude toward divorce and family of origin type. A nonprobability convenience sampling procedure was used and questionnaires were administered to 50 Black graduate students to assess attitude toward divorce, family of origin type and other descriptive information. The researcher found that Black adults from nonintact households did not hold significantly more positive attitudes toward divorce than Black adults from intact families of origin, but gender did significantly mediate the relationship between family of origin type and attitude toward divorce. The conclusions drawn from this study suggest that investigations using independent variables other than family of origin type and those that investigate the relationship between attitude toward divorce and family of origin type, solely for Black men would be the most helpful in providing new information to help explain the prevalence of divorce in the African American community

Research based criteria for the design and selection of literacy and thinking tools
No full textThis paper describes criteria for the design and selection of literacy and thinking tools. The criteria are that tools should be: (i) teaching focused (ii) learner focused, (iii) thought linked (iv) neurologically consistent, (v) subject specific, (vi) text linked, (vii) developmentally appropriate, (viii) culturally responsive, and (ix) assessment linked

Atmospheric Degradation of Cyclic Volatile Methyl Siloxanes: Radical Chemistry and Oxidation Products
No full textCyclic volatile methyl
siloxanes (cVMS) are anthropogenic chemicals
that have come under scrutiny due to their widespread use and environmental
persistence. Significant data on environmental concentrations and
persistence of these chemicals exists, but their oxidation mechanism
is poorly understood, preventing a comprehensive understanding of
the environmental fate and impact of cVMS. We performed experiments
in an environmental chamber to characterize the first-generation oxidation
products of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3), octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane
(D4), and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) under different peroxy
radical fates (unimolecular reaction or bimolecular reaction with
either NO or HO2) that approximate a range of atmospheric
compositions. While the identity of the oxidation products from D3
changed as a function of the peroxy radical fate, the identity and
yield of D4 and D5 oxidation products remained largely constant. We
compare our results against the output from a kinetic model of cVMS
oxidation chemistry. The reaction mechanism used in the model is developed
using a combination of previously proposed cVMS oxidation reactions
and standard atmospheric oxidation radical chemistry. We find that
the model is unable to reproduce our measurements, particularly in
the case of D4 and D5. The products that are poorly represented in
the model help to identify possible branching points in the mechanism,
which require further investigation. Additionally, we estimated the
physical properties of the cVMS oxidation products using structure–activity
relationships and found that they should not be significantly partitioned
to organic or aqueous aerosol. The results suggest that cVMS first-generation
oxidation products are also long-lived in the atmosphere and that
environmental monitoring of these compounds is necessary to understand
the environmental chemistry and loading of cVMS
Instrumental music in the public schools of Wichita, Kansas
No full textThesis (M.M.)-- University of Wichita, College of Fine Arts, Dept. of MusicWhenever a musician assumes the position of supervisor
of instrumental music, regardless of the size of the town or
location, his greatest problem is organization and administration.
Various methods are presented in articles and books,
but as a rule these idealistic plans are of little use in
solving a practical situation. This thesis is written with
the purpose in mind of providing a helpful plan for these
musicians. It would be impossible to cover all of the problems
in such a broad field, so the author has selected those which
are more apt to appear in numerous schools. The first five
chapters represent the result s of a survey in the Wichita
Public School instrumental departments. Chapter VI is an
analysis of this survey with suggestive methods of remedy.
These suggestions are the results of a thorough study of
works by authorities in this field and by school systems which
have proven the workability of their ideas.Foreword -- The rehearsal room: Equipment, arrangement, and availability -- School owned instruments: Financing purchasing, maintenance, distribution -- Libraries: Financing, purchasing, organization, and maintenance -- Teachers: Qualifications, salaries, and schedules -- Public performances: Concerts, uniforms, festivals, and contest -- A plan for the future -- Bibliography -- Appendix A. proposed qualifications for students: Winds, strings, percussions -- Appendix B.
