title: Curriculum Materials Center: Perceptions of the Faculty of the College of Education at Utah State University
Creators: name: Rudrud, Janie L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: Curriculum Materials Centers, traced as far back as the 1920's, have existed under a variety of names and with a variety of functions. The concept of a curriculum laboratory (one of the many commonly used terms) varies from that of a place or room with equipment and materials to that of a service in which leadership in the use of these materials is also provided. Church feels that they have survived because of this very ability to vary their functions to serve their particular parent institution; remaining adaptable to disseminate the curriculum and instructional materials needed in the form desired by their clientele.
Ironically, however, this ability to adapt and vary their functions has caused some confusion as to the primary purpose and goals of curriculum materials centers or laboratories. Institutions interested in the establishment of their own curriculum laboratories have expressed concern over how to begin. This phenomenon of uncertainty has been reported by several researchers: Church, 1957; James, 1963; Mac Vean, 1960; Flandro, 1957; and Zembrodt, 1944.
While each of these studies (as will be reported later) were able to provide some initial guidelines, it would appear that it is necessary for each curriculum materials center to define its own needs and responsibilities. For this reason, information for a particular curriculum materials center must be solicited from the clientele it serves.
title: A Study of the Need for a Personal-Use Typewriting Class at Utah State University
Creators: name: Earl, Rolayne Day
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: As early as 1926, typewriting began to change from a strictly vocational skill to a multi-use skill that included nonvocational aspects. Since the skills required for vocational purposes are not the same as those required for personal use, typewriting instructors developed courses for those interested in learning personal-use typewriting.
The overall objective of a personal-use typewriting class is to equip the students with enough skill and knowledge to be able to express themselves "directly on paper without stumbling over the mechanics of either typing or language skills." The college class In personal-use typewriting is usually a one-semester class emphasizing composition at the typewriter of essays, outlines, speeches, articles, personal letters, and other personal papers. Wanous feels that college students especially have a great need to be able to compose at the typewriter

On the inertial stability of coastal flows
Creators: name: Helbig, James Alfred
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis investigates two separate but related problems. In Part I a study is made of the propagation of continental shelf waves and barotropic Rossby waves in a steady, laterally sheared current of the form V + Є W, where W is a centred random function and Є << 1. If the correlation length of W is small compared with the characteristic horizontal length scale of the system; for example, the shelf width or a channel width, the waves are unstable. Their growth rate is largely determined by the magnitude of the correlation length, while the phase speed is given by the sum of weighted averages of the mean current V and the lateral gradient of potential vorticity. Application of the theory to the Brooks and Mooers (1977a) model of the Florida Straits yields wave parameters that are in accord with those measured by Duing (1975). In Part II, an attempt is made to understand the dynamics governing observed low-frequency currents in the Strait of Georgia (GS). A simple two-layer model indicates that the mean currents in GS are probably baroclinically stable. A barotropic stability model implies that a shear instability might be of some importance. However, the analysis of current meter data shows that the velocity components of the fluctuations are either nearly in phase or close to 180° out of phase; this means that the motions are not due to the type of waves considered here. Analysis of the relationship between the winds and currents in both the frequency and time domains implies that the wind may play an indirect role in forcing GS motions. It is conjectured that the wind and tide interact with the Fraser River outflow to modulate the estuarine circulation in the system and force low-frequency currents. Direct nonlinear interaction between tidal constituents produces a coherent fortnightly variation in the currents, but cannot account for the observations.
title: A Follow-Up Study to Determine the Employment Status of Utah State University Distributive Education Graduate, 1969-1973
Creators: name: Shaw, Robert K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: Those persons involved with the curriculum in the Business Education Department at Utah State University need to be kept informed of the current location and employment status of graduates from the distributive education program at that institution. This will enable them to keep abreast of the needs of the program for training teacher-coordinators and others to be employed in the field of distribution. If the graduates are employed in distributive education positions, a knowledge of their attitudes toward the curriculum they followed at the university will help in evaluating and upgrading to meet the needs of a changing world. Only through repetitive studies of the current status of recent graduates can such information be obtained.

description: Background: Protein acetylation is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism regulating a variety of cellular functions. Several human protein acetyltransferases have been characterized, most of them catalyzing ε-acetylation of histones and transcription factors. We recently described the human protein acetyltransferase hARD1 (human Arrest Defective 1). hARD1 interacts with NATH (N-Acetyl Transferase Human) forming a complex expressing protein N-terminal α-acetylation activity. Results: We here describe a human protein, hARD2, with 81 % sequence identity to hARD1. The gene encoding hARD2 most likely originates from a eutherian mammal specific retrotransposition event. hARD2 mRNA and protein are expressed in several human cell lines. Immunoprecipitation experiments show that hARD2 protein potentially interacts with NATH, suggesting that hARD2-NATH complexes may be responsible for protein N-α-acetylation in human cells. In NB4 cells undergoing retinoic acid mediated differentiation, the level of endogenous hARD1 and NATH protein decreases while the level of hARD2 protein is stable. Conclusion: A human protein N-α-acetyltransferase is herein described. ARD2 potentially complements the functions of ARD1, adding more flexibility and complexity to protein N-α-acetylation in human cells as compared to lower organisms which only have one ARD. © 2006 Arnesen et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

description: From extensive radiative transfer calculations we find that clumpy torus models with \No \about 5--15 dusty clouds along radial equatorial rays successfully explain AGN infrared observations. The dust has standard Galactic composition, with individual cloud optical depth \tV \about 30--100 at visual. The models naturally explain the observed behavior of the 10\mic silicate feature, in particular the lack of deep absorption features in AGN of any type. The weak 10\mic emission feature tentatively detected in type 2 QSO can be reproduced if in these sources \No drops to \about 2 or \tV exceeds \about 100. The clouds angular distribution must have a soft-edge, e.g., Gaussian profile, the radial distribution should decrease as $1/r$ or $1/r^2$. Compact tori can explain all observations, in agreement with the recent interferometric evidence that the ratio of the torus outer to inner radius is perhaps as small as \about 5--10. Clumpy torus models can produce nearly isotropic IR emission together with highly anisotropic obscuration, as required by observations. In contrast with strict variants of unification schemes where the viewing-angle uniquely determines the classification of an AGN into type 1 or 2, clumpiness implies that it is only a probabilistic effect; a source can display type 1 properties even from directions close to the equatorial plane. The fraction of obscured sources depends not only on the torus angular thickness but also on the cloud number \No. The observed decrease of this fraction at increasing luminosity can be explained with a decrease of either torus angular thickness or cloud number, but only the latter option explains also the possible emergence of a 10\mic emission feature in QSO2.

Advanced modularity-specialized label propagation algorithm for detecting communities in networks

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: A modularity-specialized label propagation algorithm (LPAm) for detecting network communities was recently proposed. This promising algorithm offers some desirable qualities. However, LPAm favors community divisions where all communities are similar in total degree and thus it is prone to get stuck in poor local maxima in the modularity space. To escape local maxima, we employ a multistep greedy agglomerative algorithm (MSG) that can merge multiple pairs of communities at a time. Combining LPAm and MSG, we propose an advanced modularity-specialized label propagation algorithm (LPAm+). Experiments show that LPAm+ successfully detects communities with higher modularity values than ever reported in two commonly used real-world networks. Moreover, LPAm+ offers a fair compromise between accuracy and speed.

description: We describe the transport properties of a point contact under the influence of a classical two-level fluctuator. We employ a transfer matrix formalism allowing us to calculate arbitrary correlation functions of the stochastic process by mapping them on matrix products. The result is used to obtain the generating function of the full counting statistics of a classical point contact subject to a classical fluctuator, including extensions to a pair of two-level fluctuators as well as to a quantum point contact. We show that the noise in the quantum point contact is a sum of the (quantum) partitioning noise and the (classical) noise due to the two-level fluctuator. As a side result, we obtain the full counting statistics of a quantum point contact with time-dependent transmission probabilities.

description: Background: Due to the functional importance of intrinsically disordered proteins or protein regions, prediction of intrinsic protein disorder from amino acid sequence has become an area of active research as witnessed in the 6th experiment on Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP6). Since the initial work by Romero et al. (Identifying disordered regions in proteins from amino acid sequences, IEEE Int. Conf. Neural Netw., 1997), our group has developed several predictors optimized for long disordered regions (>30 residues) with prediction accuracy exceeding 85%. However, these predictors are less successful on short disordered regions (≤30 residues). A probable cause is a length-dependent amino acid compositions and sequence properties of disordered regions. Results: We proposed two new predictor models, VSL2-M1 and VSL2-M2, to address this length-dependency problem in prediction of intrinsic protein disorder. These two predictors are similar to the original VSL1 predictor used in the CASP6 experiment. In both models, two specialized predictors were first built and optimized for short (≤30 residues) and long disordered regions (>30 residues), respectively. A meta predictor was then trained to integrate the specialized predictors into the final predictor model. As the 10-fold cross-validation results showed, the VSL2 predictors achieved well-balanced prediction accuracies of 81% on both short and long disordered regions. Comparisons over the VSL2 training dataset via 10-fold cross-validation and a blind-test set of unrelated recent PDB chains indicated that VSL2 predictors were significantly more accurate than several existing predictors of intrinsic protein disorder. Conclusion: The VSL2 predictors are applicable to disordered regions of any length and can accurately identify the short disordered regions that are often misclassified by our previous disorder predictors. The success of the VSL2 predictors further confirmed the previously observed differences in amino acid compositions and sequence properties between short and long disordered regions, and justified our approaches for modelling short and long disordered regions separately.

description: We present results on the modelling of the ejection of a superluminal component in the jet of 3C111. We propose that the component is generated by an injection of dense material followed by a decrease in the injection rate of bulk particles in the jet. Our model is supported by 1D relativistic hydrodynamics and emission simulations, and is capable of reproducing the brightness evolution of two features, as revealed by 15 GHz VLBA observations. We show that other scenarios, such as an increase of the Lorentz factor in the material of the perturbation, fails to reproduce the observed evolution of this flare.

Pyrite-induced hydroxyl radical formation and its effect on nucleic acids

Subjects: 0306 Physical Chemistry (incl. Structural)

description: Background: Pyrite, the most abundant metal sulphide on Earth, is known to spontaneously form hydrogen peroxide when exposed to water. In this study the hypothesis that pyrite-induced hydrogen peroxide is transformed to hydroxyl radicals is tested. Results: Using a combination of electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping techniques and scavenging reactions involving nucleic acids, the formation of hydroxyl radicals in pyrite/aqueous suspensions is demonstrated. The addition of EDTA to pyrite slurries inhibits the hydrogen peroxide-to-hydroxyl radical conversion, but does not inhibit the formation of hydrogen peroxide. Given the stability of EDTA chelation with both ferrous and ferric iron, this suggests that the addition of the EDTA prevents the transformation by chelation of dissolved iron species. Conclusion: While the exact mechanism or mechanisms of the hydrogen peroxide-to-hydroxyl radical conversion cannot be resolved on the basis of the experiments reported in this study, it is clear that the pyrite surface promotes the reaction. The formation of hydroxyl radicals is significant because they react nearly instantaneously with most organic molecules. This suggests that the presence of pyrite in natural, engineered, or physiological aqueous systems may induce the transformation of a wide range of organic molecules. This finding has implications for the role pyrite may play in aquatic environments and raises the question whether inhalation of pyrite dust contributes to the development of lung diseases. © 2006 Cohn et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

MicroRNAs

description: The basis of eukaryotic complexity is an intricate genetic architecture where parallel systems are involved in tuning gene expression, via RNA-DNA, RNA-RNA, RNA-protein, and DNA-protein interactions. In higher organisms, about 97% of the transcriptional output is represented by noncoding RNA (ncRNA) encompassing not only rRNA, tRNA, introns, 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions, transposable elements, and intergenic regions, but also a large, rapidly emerging family named microRNAs. MicroRNAs are short 20-22-nucleotide RNA molecules that have been shown to regulate the expression of other genes in a variety of eukaryotic systems. MicroRNAs are formed from larger transcripts that fold to produce hairpin structures and serve as substrates for the cytoplasmic Dicer, a member of the RNase III enzyme family. A recent analysis of the genomic location of human microRNA genes suggested that 50% of microRNA genes are located in cancer-associated genomic regions or in fragile sites. This review focuses on the possible implications of microRNAs in post-transcriptional gene regulation in mammalian diseases, with particular focus on cancer. We argue that developing mouse models for deleted and/or overexpressed microRNAs will be of invaluable interest to decipher the regulatory networks where microRNAs are involved. © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2006.

description: In 1847, the Mormons entered the Great Basin and under the direction of Brigham Young, began an era of cooperation. The cooperative efforts of the Mormons extended to all aspects of their economic life and was designed to bring about a self-sufficient community. This paper examines three geographic areas in Utah and, using a comparative framework, studies the cooperative efforts of Mormon women from these regions with regards to three business initiatives: cooperative stores, sericulture (silk culture), and grain storage. Within this context, the economic impact of Mormon women on their communities, through the church's female organization, the relief society, is analyzed and discussed, demonstrating the significant contribution these women had on Mormon economic endeavors and their own lives.

description: The following statement was made by Tonne, Popham, and Freeman in 1965:
With typewriting being offered in one-third of the junior high schools, with three-fourths of them starting this program within the last ten years, and with almost three-fourth of the schools reporting an increase in enrollment within the past year, it is obvious that a prospective typewriting teacher may well expect to find himself in a junior high school
Sanborn stated:
Personal-use typewriting belongs to the ninth grade, either in junior high school or in a four-year high school. Placed here, it not only affords the student the opportunity to acquire a skill, . . . but it assures him this usable s kill through all four years of high school.
There is agreement among many educators that the. Junior high school is a good level to introduce students to personal-use typewriting But, there is still some disagreement as to how many semesters the course should be taught.
Kleindle and Crank wrote, "Personal typewriting at the junior high school level is often a one-semester course."
Tonne, Popham, and Freeman reported on a survey by the United Business Association (now the National Business Education Association). This survey covered almost half of the country' s separate junior high schools. Of these junior high schools surveyed, 71 percent indicated that they teach two semesters of typing. This same survey revealed that 91 percent of those schools surveyed reported the class was taught in the ninth grade.
Blackstone and Smith in 1955 said:
It is believed that students of any age from the sixth or seventh grade upward are capable of learning to type to the levels of performance necessary for personal use , for such levels are not high . In personal-use typewriting, there are seldom any actual speed requirements. . .. the point is that the personal use student need not develop the speed and accuracy levels needed for vocational typing.
Have all students who want typing, for any purpose, take a semester or two early in the secondary school--as early as the seventh or eighth grade--and make the course primarily personal typing for all concerned .
However, Russon and Wanous state relative to a junior high typing course, "Personal-use typing should be stressed, but keyboard mastery and fundamental techniques should be developed with the same care and vigor as in vocational typing classes."
The wave field on a shelf resulting from point source generation, with application to tsunamis
Creators: name: King, David Randall
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Studies were made to determine the wave field of long surface gravity waves generated on a shelf by a localized source, such as might occur in tsunami generation. Beth analytical and experimental aspects of the problem are investigated. An analytical model is constructed, which examines the field of small amplitude shallow water waves propagating on a shelf of uniform depth. The shelf region is separated from a deep water region of uniform depth by a linear vertical step. The problem is solved on a rotating coordinate system, although the more precise results are obtained for wave frequencies much greater than the inertial frequency for the case of non-rotation. Both exact solutions and asymptotic solutions in the far-field are found for point source excitation. The case of zero-rotation is investigated for both time-harmonic and impulse excitation. The experimental model examines the field of shallow water waves generated under conditions chosen to simulate the analytical model for the case of non-rotation. The resulting field is composed of cylindrical direct and reflected waves and of a plane lateral wave which arises under conditions of total reflection. Have speeds are found which are in agreement with those predicted by ray theory and geometrical optics. Wave amplitudes of the direct and reflected waves behave as cylindrical waves with frictional damping. The lateral wave amplitude decays in accordance with the -1.5 power of the ray optics pathlength of the lateral wave in the deep water, with damping due to friction. Agreement of theory with observation is overall very good. The results are applied to the problem of tsunami generation on a shelf under simple geometrical conditions. Arrival-times of the various field constituents at various points along the shoreline (the inner edge of the shelf) are calculated and the lead time of the lateral wave arrival over the direct wave is determined.

description: Different from the chiral edge states, antichiral edge states propagating in the same direction on the opposite edges are theoretically proposed based on the modified Haldane model, which is recently experimentally realized in photonic crystal and electric lattice systems. Here, we instead present that the antichiral edge states in the two-dimensional system can also be achieved based on the original Haldane model by combining two subsystems with the opposite chirality. Most importantly, by stacking these two-dimensional systems into three-dimension, it is found that the copropagating antichiral hinge states localized on the two opposite diagonal hinge cases of the system can be implemented. Interestingly, the location of antichiral hinge states can be tuned via hopping parameters along the third dimension. By investigating the local Chern number/layer Chern number and transmission against random disorders, we confirm that the proposed antichiral edge states and hinge states are topologically protected and robust against disorders. Our proposed model systems are expected to be realized in photonic crystal and electric lattice systems.

description: Several codon-based methods are available for detecting adaptive evolution in protein-coding sequences, but to date none specifically identify sites that are selected differentially in two populations, although such comparisons between populations have been historically useful in identifying the action of natural selection. We have developed two fixed effects maximum likelihood methods: one for identifying codon positions showing selection patterns that persist in a population and another for detecting whether selection is operating differentially on individual codons of a gene sampled from two different populations. Applying these methods to two HIV populations infecting genetically distinct human hosts, we have found that few of the positively selected amino acid sites persist in the population; the other changes are detected only at the tips of the phylogenetic tree and appear deleterious in the long term. Additionally, we have identified seven amino acid sites in protease and reverse transcriptase that are selected differentially in the two samples, demonstrating specific population-level adaptation of HIV to human populations. © 2006 Kosakovsky Pond.

Creators: name: Broese, Carsten

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications

description: The Euler–Bernoulli beam bending theory in engineering mechanics assumes that the material behavior is isotropic elastic and that plane cross sections remain plane and rigid. It is well-known that this theory suffers from inconsistencies that, e.g., the shear strain is always vanishing, whereas the shear stress does not vanish. In recent work, consistent Euler–Bernoulli beam theories in classical and explicit gradient elasticities were accomplished by assuming the constitutive response to be anisotropic elastic, subject to internal constraints. This approach is extended in the present paper to get consistent Euler–Bernoulli beam theory for gradient elasticity based on Laplacians of stress and strain. The developed beam theory is employed to discuss bending of cantilever beams.

Ribonuclease III

description: Escherichia coli ribonuclease III (RNase III; EC 3.1.24) is a double-stranded(ds)-RNA-specific endonuclease with key roles in diverse RNA maturation and decay pathways. E.coli RNase III is a member of a structurally distinct superfamily that includes Dicer, a central enzyme in the mechanism of RNA interference. E.coli RNase III requires a divalent metal ion for activity, with Mg2+ as the preferred species. However, neither the function(s) nor the number of metal ions involved in catalysis is known. To gain information on metal ion involvement in catalysis, the rate of cleavage of the model substrate R1.1 RNA was determined as a function of Mg2+ concentration. Single-turnover conditions were applied, wherein phosphodiester cleavage was the rate-limiting event. The measured Hill coefficient (nH) is 2.0 ± 0.1, indicative of the involvement of two Mg2+ ions in phosphodiester hydrolysis. It is also shown that 2-hydroxy-4H-isoquinoline-1,3-dione - an inhibitor of ribonucleases that employ two divalent metal ions in their catalytic sites-inhibits E.coli RNase III cleavage of R1.1 RNA. The IC50 for the compound is 14 μM for the Mg2+-supported reaction, and 8 μM for the Mn2+-supported reaction. The compound exhibits noncompetitive inhibitory kinetics, indicating that it does not perturb substrate binding. Neither the O-methylated version of the compound nor the unsubstituted imide inhibit substrate cleavage, which is consistent with a specific interaction of the N-hydroxyimide with two closely positioned divalent metal ions. A preliminary model is presented for functional roles of two divalent metal ions in the RNase III catalytic mechanism. © The Author 2005. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
title: A Follow-Up Study of the Distributive Education Graduates of Sky View High School 1972-1976

description: Distributive education is an instructional program that is designed to prepare people for careers in the distributive or marketing sector of the economy. Crawford and Meyer give a generally accepted definition of distributive education as:
... a vocational instructional program designed to meet the needs of persons who have entered or are preparing to enter a distributive occupation or an occupation requiring competency in one or more of the marketing functions. It offers instructions in marketing, merchandising, related management, and personal development (Crawford and Meyer, 1972, p.2)
Educators in the distributive education field traditionally have agreed that the curriculum should include instruction in the following areas: social competency (human relations and consumer behavior), marketing competency, basic competency (communication and mathematics), product and service technology , and an understanding of the free enterprise system. These educators have also expressed the belief that basic economic and marketing concepts form the foundation for the distributive education curriculum (Crawford and Meyer, 1972, p. 39).
The distributive education program is designed to place emphasis on the individual student and the career objectives of the student. The student is a person who needs and wants assistance in adjusting to the world of work and acquiring occupational training. Meyer, Crawford, and Klaurens emphasize the following:
When their career interests crystallize and their need to be employed becomes imminent, the career education curriculum provides opportunities to develop skills and knowledges that may be associated with specific occupations or occupational fields.) (Meyer, Crawford, and Klaurens, 1975, p.102)

description: In this study, we employ a convolutional neural network to classify gravitational waves originating from core-collapse supernovae. Training is conducted using spectrograms derived from three-dimensional numerical simulations of waveforms, which are injected onto real noise data from the third observing run of both Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. To gain insights into the decision-making process of the model, we apply class activation mapping techniques to visualize the regions in the input image that are significant for the model's prediction. The class activation maps reveal that the model's predictions predominantly rely on specific features within the input spectrograms, namely, the $g$-mode and low-frequency modes. The visualization of convolutional neural network models provides interpretability to enhance their reliability and offers guidance for improving detection efficiency.

description: Our goal is to measure and model the magnetic field distribution in the disk wind of the young stellar object (YSO) IRAS 21078+5211. We performed sensitive global Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations of the polarized emission of the 22 GHz water masers tracing individual streamlines of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disk wind in IRAS 21078+5211. Our resistive-radiative-gravito-MHD simulations of a jet around a forming massive star are able to reproduce the maser kinematics in the inner jet cavity. We measure a weak level of 0.3%-3.2% of linear and circular polarization in 24 and 8 water masers, respectively. The detected polarized masers sample the direction and the strength of the magnetic field along five distinct streamlines within the inner 100 au region of the disk wind. Along the four streamlines at smaller radii from the jet axis (< 25 au), the sky-projected direction of the magnetic field forms, in most cases, a small offset angle of < 30$^{\circ}$ with the tangent to the streamline. Along the stream at larger radii (50-100 au), the magnetic field is sampled at only three separated positions, and it is found to be approximately perpendicular to the streamline tangent at heights of approximately 10 and 40 au, and parallel to the tangent at about 70 au. According to our simulations, the magnetic field lines should coincide with the flow streamlines in the inner jet cavity. The small tilt in the magnetic field direction observed along the inner streams can be well explained by Faraday rotation, assuming a realistic low level of ionization for the molecular shell of the jet of namely 10$^{-2}$. The magnetic field amplitudes measured from maser circular polarization are all within a relatively small range of 100-700 mG, which is in good agreement with the simulation results and consistent with reduced magnetic diffusivity in the jet cavity owing to efficient shock ionization.

description: The Vocational Education Act of 1963 was designed to eliminate the unresolved problems of the Smith-Hughes Act and the George-Barden Act. The main purpose of the Vocational Education Act of 196) was to assist the States in strengthening and improving their existing vocational programs . The Vocational Education Act of 196) has within its structure a plan whereby it is constantly updated . All groups and occupations were included in the Vocational Education Act of 196) , except those who were professionals or working toward bachelor 's or higher degrees. "The act requires each State and each community to plan its vocational education programs with an eye always on the changes taking place in the economy and the world of work."
The major thrusts of the 196) act were incorporated in the Vocational Education Amendments of 1968. However, additional money was appropriated for other purposes, Certain portions of the additional funding were for the following :
1. Special interest groups.
2 . States which were developing long -range State Plans with advisory councils .
Definite changes in vocational education were made possible through the Vocational Education Act of 1963 and the Amendments of 1968. These acts motivated the States and the communities to improve their quality of education, specifically in the area of vocational training. "With the vocational education legislation of the sixties, provisions were extended to meet the needs of a nation experiencing scientific and technological expansion."
With the implementation of the Vocational Education Amendments of 1976, some structure changes did take place in the original Vocational Education Act of 196). However, the administrating of the funds remained basically the same after the Vocational Education Amendments of 1976.
title: A Survey of Selected Employers and Placement Counselors to Determine Sociocultural Factors in the Work Adjustment of Navajo Students in Box Elder County, Utah

description: The primary goal of vocational education is to prepare the student to successfully enter the world of work. While the present educational structure seems to work well for most Anglo-American students, there is evidence that the system is not effective with minority students. For example , in the case of Navajo students in government-sponsored technical schools, the dropout rate (60 percent) suggests that for Native American students there are serious problems in the educational process which need to be investigated and understood.
Because of the sharply different cultural background of the Navajo student a formidable barrier frequently exists between student and educator , and the quality of their relationship is impaired. Furthermore, a lack of understanding of the sociocultural background of the Navajo student frequently affects the attitudes and the behavior of the teacher.
Problems affecting the success of the Navajo student in school also extend into the work experience situation when he enters into the work world. Thus, the traditional background of the Navajo student can be an important factor in the success or failure of his work adjustment and work performance.
Many aspects of life have a significant influence on behavior; therefore, any understanding of employee behavior must be preceded by study and understanding of the culture in which they live ... basic values are so well ingrained that they are very difficult to change, even before a person finishes high school. They influence the amount of education one seeks, how hard one works on the job, and the way in which one cooperates with fellow workers and managers. The basic relationship is that culture off the job affects on-the-job performance.
