title: Parental Attitudes Toward Mainstreaming of Handicapped Children
Creators: name: Ahooriyan, Afsaneh
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate attitudes of parents of school-aged and preschool aged children with and without handicaps, toward the issue of mainstreaming. A sample of 212 individuals responded to a parent questionnaire which was mailed to each household to be completed by both parents. This questionnaire examined attitudes and concerns of parents across 14 mainstreaming issues (Appendix 2) . Of the total sample, 123 responses were used for the final analysis. Cases were discarded because some were missing the age of their child, some we::e not qualified because of their child's age, and others had not completed the survey.
Regarding overall attitudes toward mainstreaming, there was a significant interaction between handicapping condition and sex of parent. Fathers of handicapped children disagreed more with the attitude questions than mothers of handicapped children. Also, the handicapping condition of the child affected parental attitudes about problems which a handicapped child might encounter in a mainstreaming situation. Parents of nonhandicapped children disagreed more with these issues than parents of handicapped children. Fathers of handicapped and nonhandicapped children agreed more than mothers that there might be problems encountered by handicapped children in a mainstreaming situation. Mothers of nonhandicapped children and fathers of handicapped children disagreed more with these statements.
The interaction between sex of parents and handicapping condition of the child was found to be significant for the dependent variables of overall mainstreaming attitudes and attitudes toward problems which a handicapped child might encounter in a mainstreaming situation. Another significant independent variable was handicapping condition of the child which was found to be significant on attitudes toward problems which a handicapped child might encounter in a mainstreaming situation and attitudes toward safety issues of both handicapped and nonhandicapped children in a mainstreaming situation. In other words, parents of handicapped children were more children were more concerned about school related problems and safety issues for handicapped children in a mainstreaming situation.
Age of the child was not found significant for any of the dependent variables. In addition, the interaction of handicapping condition and age of the child was found to be significant for the dependent variable which dealt with attitudes toward safety of both handicapped and dealt with attitudes toward safety issues of both handicapped and nonhandicapped children. Families with school-aged handicapped children and families of nonhandicapped preschoolers disagreed more with the safety issues.

description: We study the post-main sequence evolution of products of collisions between main sequence stars (blue stragglers), with particular interest paid to the horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch phases. We found that the blue straggler progeny populate the colour-magnitude diagram slightly blueward of the red giant branch and between 0.2 and 1 magnitudes brighter than the horizontal branch. We also found that the lifetimes of collision products on the horizontal branch is consistent with the numbers of so-called "evolved blue straggler stars" (E-BSS) identified by various authors in a number of globular clusters, and is almost independent of mass or initial composition profile. The observed ratio of the number of E-BSS to blue stragglers points to a main sequence lifetime for blue stragglers of approximately 1-2 Gyr on average.

title: Von Australien lernen – Erfolg durch „konsequente Sprachförderung“ an australischen Grundschulen/NSW
Creators: name: Jasny, Sabine
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Nach Aussagen des Schulentwicklungsforschers Wilfried Bos gilt Australien als Staat, in dem die Förderung von Migrantenkindern besser gelingt als in Deutschland. Dies, so Bos, liege vor allem auch an einer „konsequenten Sprachförderung“ (Kerstan 2008: 77), von der man lernen könne. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht diesem Gedanken nach. Zunächst wird anhand von australischen Testergebnissen belegt, dass Migrantenkinder in Australien im Leistungsvergleich tatsächlich gut abschneiden. Im Anschluss wird exemplarisch am Beispiel der staatlichen Grundschulen im Bundesstaat New South Wales beschrieben, wie die Sprachförderung dort konkret aussieht und es wird überlegt, worin das Geheimnis des Erfolgs liegen könnte. Als Basis dienen Dokumente der OCED und des New South Wales Department of Education and Training, eine explorativ-exemplarische Langzeitbeobachtung der Praxis vor Ort sowie Ergebnisse aus der Spracherwerbs- und Sprachlernforschung, der Soziologie, der Psychologie sowie der Erziehungs- und Bildungsforschung. Es wird argumentiert, dass der Erfolg im Grundschulbereich nur zum Teil im Sprachförderunterricht liegen kann und auf der Basis eines holistischen Verständnisses von Sprache und Spracherwerb wird die These entwickelt, dass das Geheimnis des australischen Erfolgs im Grundschulbereich eher in den institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen zu suchen ist, in die der Sprachförderunterricht dort eingebettet ist. Diese Rahmenbedingungen müssten den Spracherwerb – institutionell beabsichtigt oder nicht – positiv unterstützen, und zwar indirekt auf sozialer und affektiver Ebene. Diese These wird an Beispielen aus der Praxis näher ausgeführt und durch Ergebnisse aus der Forschungsliteratur begründet.
title: The Effect of Geographical Setting, Duration in a Single Parent Family, Sex and Dethronement on Stepsibling Relationships After Parental Remarriage
Creators: name: Cannon, Sharon D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: This exploratory study investigated how four independent variables, namely post-marital residence, length of time in a single parent family, gender and change in relative age position in the family, affect the closeness of stepsibling relationships. This research focused primarily on families in which stepsiblings lived together in the same household; however, individuals who had stepsiblings living in another location were also included in the study.
A sample of 139 people was generated through a purposive method of requesting names of eligible persons from county extension agents in four Western states (Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Arizona), and from ten introductory classes in Family and Human Development and Sociology during the fall and winter quarters of the 1984-1985 school year.Questionnaires were mailed out. Ninety surveys were returned, yielding a response rate of 65 percent . Seventy-five of the instruments were usable (N=75).
The analysis consisted of a two way analysis of covariance for the first three variables. A Kruskal-Wallace was used for the dethronement variable given the small numbers in each of the cells.
Post-marital residence and gender of the respondents had no discernible effect on the dependent variable in this study. While the variable months in a single parent family did not have a significant effect on the feelings of closeness towards stepsiblings, a positive trend was noted between the two. A strong but non-significant relationship was discovered between the variable of dethronement and the dependent variable.
Further analysis was conducted on a separate independent variable, whether or not the respondents were informed about the parental remarriage, and on two dependent variables as follows: feelings towards stepsiblings at the time of remarriage as well as feelings about the actual remarriage, loving relationships between stepsiblings. A significant difference was noted between informed and non-informed respondents and the first dependent variable. A strong but nonsignificant relationship was discovered between the same groups of respondents and the second dependent variable.
Implications for therapy were generated from the results of the study. Suggestions for the optimum times to introduce therapy were also given, as well as strategies that would be useful in enhancing stepsibling functioning.

description: Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie sich ein projektorientierter DaF-Unterricht unter besonderer Berücksichtigung seines interkulturellen und kommunikativen Aspekts umsetzen lässt. Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung ist die Aktualisierung und Erweiterung von Informationen über Teilaspekte der madagassischen Kultur, die deutschsprachigen Madagaskar-Reisenden bei der Bewältigung alltäglicher Situationen im Zielland behilflich sein könnten. Eine fremdsprachendidaktische Herangehensweise, die auf dem handlungs- und produktionsorientierten Ansatz aufbaut, sollte hierfür unterbreitet werden, damit madagassische DaF-Studierende solche Informationen erfassen, verarbeiten und in einer Broschüre veröffentlichen können. Dabei eröffnet sich ihnen mehr Freiraum für die Bewusstwerdung der Funktion der deutschen Sprache als Kommunikationsmittel zum einen und für die Aneignung interkultureller, sozialer und medialer Kompetenzen zum anderen, die als Schlüsselqualifikationen für die Vorbereitung auf problematische Situationen dienen können. Aus diesem Beitrag geht hervor, dass der Projektunterricht als Form des expansiven und prozessorientierten Lernens den DaF-Unterricht aus der Lehrbuchzentriertheit löst.

title: Marriage Enrichment: Does it Make a Difference

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in a marriage enrichment program had an impact on couple's relationships in the areas of regard, empathy, congruence, dyadic adjustment and self esteem. Seven independent variables were also analyzed to see if they had any impact on the five outcome measures. A survey was given at four different time periods (pretest, immediately before the enrichment experience; posttest, immediately after the enrichment experience; three months following; and six months following the enrichment experience) to determine if change did occur and if it was maintained over time. There was no control group and the experimental group had an N of 36, or 18 couples.
The results showed a significant increase in regard, empathy, congruence, and dyadic adjustment from pretest to posttest. Self esteem increased slightly but not 8t a significant level. From posttest to the three-month followup, regard, empathy, congruence and dyadic adjustment declined significantly and self-esteem increased significantly. From the three-month followup to the six-month followup there was no significant difference indicating a stablizing effect. Are and dyadic adjustment were significantly related. The older the couple, the better the marital adjustment. (Number of children approached significance in explaining level of regard.) This relationship was negative , meaning the lower the number of the children the higher the level of regard. None of the other independent variables had any impact on the outcome measures. Although the mean scores for the five outcome measures significantly declined from posttest to six- month followup, they were still higher than pretest mean scores.

description: ASTEP South is an Antarctic Search for Transiting Exo- Planets in the South pole field, from the Concordia station, Dome C, Antarctica. The instrument consists of a thermalized 10 cm refractor observing a fixed 3.88\degree x 3.88\degree field of view to perform photometry of several thousand stars at visible wavelengths (700-900 nm). The first winter campaign in 2008 led to the retrieval of nearly 1600 hours of data. We derive the fraction of photometric nights by measuring the number of detectable stars in the field. The method is sensitive to the presence of small cirrus clouds which are invisible to the naked eye. The fraction of night-time for which at least 50% of the stars are detected is 74% from June to September 2008. Most of the lost time (18.5% out of 26%) is due to periods of bad weather conditions lasting for a few days ("white outs"). Extended periods of clear weather exist. For example, between July 10 and August 10, 2008, the total fraction of time (day+night) for which photometric observations were possible was 60%. This confirms the very high quality of Dome C for nearly continuous photometric observations during the Antarctic winter.

description: Im Sommersemester 2009 bin ich mit Studenten im Rahmen eines Hauptseminars in den Kulturstudien der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit intra- und interkulturelle Differenz- und Fremderfahrung in der Stadt Quelle der Inspiration sein kann. Im Fokus der Betrachtung stand dabei besonders, wie sich durch Begegnung oder Nichtbegegnung kulturelle Deutungsmuster von Menschen verändern oder neu entstehen. Ausgehend von Detlev Ipsens Hypothese der Herausbildung einer „Metakultur“ in offenen Städten (vgl. Ipsen 2000: 254), wurde die Frage diskutiert, ob und inwiefern gerade die Entstehung neuer Kulturen innerhalb einer Stadt und die Schaffung gegebener Rückzugsmöglichkeiten für ihre Bewohner eine Chance für die Zukunft sein können. Für diese interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Lehrveranstaltung haben die Seminarteilnehmer autonom ihre eigenen Lernziele und zu bearbeitenden Fragestellungen formuliert.

description: Aims: We study the major merger fraction in a SPITZER/IRAC-selected catalogue in the GOODS-S field up to z ~ 1 for luminosity- and mass-limited samples. Methods: We select disc-disc merger remnants on the basis of morphological asymmetries, and address three main sources of systematic errors: (i) we explicitly apply morphological K-corrections, (ii) we measure asymmetries in galaxies artificially redshifted to z_d = 1.0 to deal with loss of morphological information with redshift, and (iii) we take into account the observational errors in z and A, which tend to overestimate the merger fraction, though use of maximum likelihood techniques. Results: We obtain morphological merger fractions (f_m) below 0.06 up to z ~ 1. Parameterizing the merger fraction evolution with redshift as f_m(z) = f_m(0) (1+z)^m, we find that m = 1.8 +/- 0.5 for M_B <= -20 galaxies, while m = 5.4 +/- 0.4 for M_star >= 10^10 M_Sun galaxies. When we translate our merger fractions to merger rates (R_m), their evolution, parameterized as R_m(z) = R_m(0) (1+z)^n, is quite similar in both cases: n = 3.3 +/- 0.8 and n = 3.5 +/- 0.4, respectively. Conclusions: Our results imply that only ~8% of today's M_star >= 10^10 M_Sun galaxies have undergone a disc-disc major merger since z ~ 1. In addition, ~21% of this mass galaxies at z ~ 1 have undergone one of these mergers since z ~ 1.5. This suggests that disc-disc major mergers are not the dominant process in the evolution of M_star >= 10^10 M_Sun galaxies since z ~ 1, but may be an important process at z > 1.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between attitudes toward the division of household tasks and the amount of time spent accomplishing them by Utah husbands and wives. The sample was 200 husbands and 203 wives residing in Iron, Washington, and Salt Lake Counties . A questionnaire was used to measure the respondents' attitudes toward the division of household labor and two, 24-hour time diaries were used to record time expenditures. Hypotheses regarding traditional and non-traditional attitudes related to the amount of time spent in traditional female t asks, traditional male tasks and time spent in all household tasks were tested. Analysis of variance and Pearson's Product Moment Correlation were used to analyze the data.
No statistically significant results were found when husbands' and wives' attitudes toward the allocation of household tasks were related to the amount of time spent in traditional female tasks, traditional male tasks, and total housework It was concluded that attitudes towards the division of household tasks as measured in this research did not predict or influence the amount of time spent accomplishing household tasks.

description: By using the recently proposed prescription arXiv:0804.3629 for obtaining the $M5$ brane action from multiple $M2$ branes action in BLG theory, we examine such transition when 11 Dimensional background antisymmetric fluxes couple to the $M2$ brane world volume. Such couplings was suggested in arXiv:0805.3427 where it was used the fact that various fields in BLG theory are valued in a Lie 3-algebra. We argue that this action and promoting it by Nambu-Poisson bracket gives the expected coupling of fluxes with $M5$ brane at least at weak coupling limit. We also study some other aspects of the action for example, the gauge invariance of the theory.

description: We consider the problem of representing, in a compressed format, a bit-vector $S$ of $m$ bits with $n$ 1s, supporting the following operations, where $b \in \{0, 1 \}$: $rank_b(S,i)$ returns the number of occurrences of bit $b$ in the prefix $S[1..i]$; $select_b(S,i)$ returns the position of the $i$th occurrence of bit $b$ in $S$. Such a data structure is called \emph{fully indexable dictionary (FID)} [Raman et al.,2007], and is at least as powerful as predecessor data structures. Our focus is on space-efficient FIDs on the \textsc{ram} model with word size $Θ(\lg m)$ and constant time for all operations, so that the time cost is independent of the input size. Given the bitstring $S$ to be encoded, having length $m$ and containing $n$ ones, the minimal amount of information that needs to be stored is $B(n,m) = \lceil \log {{m}\choose{n}} \rceil$. The state of the art in building a FID for $S$ is given in [Patrascu,2008] using $B(m,n)+O(m / ((\log m/ t) ^t)) + O(m^{3/4}) $ bits, to support the operations in $O(t)$ time. Here, we propose a parametric data structure exhibiting a time/space trade-off such that, for any real constants $0 < δ\leq 1/2$, $0 < \eps \leq 1$, and integer $s > 0$, it uses \[ B(n,m) + O(n^{1+δ} + n (\frac{m}{n^s})^\eps) \] bits and performs all the operations in time $O(sδ^{-1} + \eps^{-1})$. The improvement is twofold: our redundancy can be lowered parametrically and, fixing $s = O(1)$, we get a constant-time FID whose space is $B(n,m) + O(m^\eps/\poly{n})$ bits, for sufficiently large $m$. This is a significant improvement compared to the previous bounds for the general case.

description: This study was a comparison of the teenage married girls in school and the married girls who dropped out of school in the Stockton Unified School District, in Stockton, California during the 1966-67 school year. The girls who stay in school seem to have a more conducive home environment than the girls who drop out of school. The in school girls had the following advantages: They had more fathers who approved of their marriage; they had a significantly larger number of mothers who approved of their spouses after marriage; they were not running away from parental authority; their parents had handled their sex education better in most cases ; they could count on financial help from both their parents and their spouse's parents. The girls who stayed in school had important social and economical factors which were in their favor in their home and personal relationships with their husband. The girls who stayed in school had more social, psychological strength, economic resources, and more intellectual ability in their favor which enabled them to continue their school work.

description: Vor zwanzig Jahren wurde nach der Erosion und Auflösung der Sowjetunion das kommunistische Gesellschaftsmodell weithin für gescheitert erklärt, Kapitalismus und Marktwirtschaft hatten sich durchgesetzt, Globalisierung und Neoliberalismus taten ein übriges, selbst das kommunistische China beschritt mit Macht den Weg des Kapitalismus. Für den Traum vom besseren System verblieb mit einigem Schatten fast nur mehr das seit fünfzig Jahren kommunistische Kuba, steter Stachel im Fleisch und vor der Tür der USA, mit seinem illustren und schon zu Lebzeiten legendären Revolutionsführer Fidel Castro. Dieser hatte zwar 2006 nach einer schweren Operation die Amtsgeschäfte auf seinen Bruder Raúl Castro übertragen, kurz nach seinem 84. Geburtstag im August 2010 hatte sich aber El Comandante Fidel mit einer Parlamentsrede auf der politischen Bühne zurückgemeldet; der frühere Präsident sieht die drohende Gefahr eines Atomkrieges, hieß es in einer offiziellen Erklärung. Aber nicht Fidels Parlamentsrede sorgte weltweit für Sensation, sondern ein auf mehrere Tage sich erstreckendes Interview, das er dem USamerikanischen Journalisten Jeffrey Goldberg, begleitet von der Kuba-Expertin Julia Sweig vom Council on Foreign Relations, im Spätsommer in Havanna gab. Nach intensivem Gespräch ist man beim Essen, und es ergibt sich laut Goldberg die folgende Gesprächssituation, die das Magazin The Atlantic vom 08.09.2010 so wiedergibt: „We were seated around a smallish table; Castro, his wife, Dalia, his son; Antonio; Randy Alonso, a major figure in the government-run media; and Julia Sweig [... Fidel ingested small amounts of fish and salad, and quite a bit of bread dipped in olive oil, as well as a glass of red wine. But during the generally lighthearted conversation (we had just spent three hours talking about Iran and the Middle East), I asked him if he believed the Cuban model was still something worth exporting. "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," he said. ... I asked Julia to interpret this stunning statement for me. She said, "He wasn't rejecting the ideas of the Revolution. I took it to be an acknowledgment that under 'the Cuban model' the state has much too big a role in the economic life of the country."“

description: Durch nationale und internationale Migrationsbewegungen – vor allem hin zu den urbanen Zentren – verändern sich sprachliche und kulturelle Ausdrucksformen innerhalb von Gesellschaften, Gruppen und Einzelpersonen so maßgeblich, dass die einst umrissenen Grenzen zunehmend durchlässig werden. Ein Beispiel für die weitreichende Wirkung multilingualer Großstadtphänomene ist die Kiez-Sprache. Ihre Erscheinungsformen lassen sich nicht nur über die Großstadt hinaus beobachten, sondern führen zudem zu literarischen Ästhetisierungsformen, wie am Beispiel der Kanak Sprak zu sehen ist. Transkulturalität und gelebte Mehrsprachigkeit können von der inländischen Deutschdidaktik nicht länger unbeachtet bleiben. In dem Beitrag wird zunächst ein Transkulturalitätsbegriff vor dem Hintergrund von Migration und Mehrsprachigkeit in Bezug zu jugendsprachlichen Erscheinungsformen in den Großstädten und literarischen Umsetzungen entworfen, um anschließend ein Modell einer transkulturellen Deutschdidaktik zu etablieren.

description: In this work we present the experimental results concerning the study of the plasma produced by pulsed laser irradiation of a copper target. The analysis of the generated plasma plume was performed for three different laser spot sizes determining the threshold conditions of the ablation process. A diagnostic system with a Faraday cup was developed in order to detect the ion current along the propagation tube. Time-of-flight (TOF) measurements were performed, and an adjustable voltage electrostatic barrier was employed in order to analyse the kinetic energy of the produced ions. To study the plasma characteristics we evaluated the total etched material per pulse, 1.8x1016 atoms/cm 2 , and the fractional ionisation, 36%. A modified Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution was applied to provide a consistent description of the velocity distributions in the plume. The ablated material was spatially monitored by optical transmission analysis of a deposited film.

description: This research investigates the relationship between temperament and sociometric status utilizing a sociometric picture technique and the Parent Temperament Questionnaire for Children 3-7 Years of Age, a measurement instrument from the New York Longitudinal Study. The study population consists of sixty-one preschool age children. In the final stage a discriminant function analysis was employed to determine if there was a relationship between the measures of temperament and sociometric status. Although no significant functions emerged, two functions approached significance. The results indicate that popular and amiable children score higher on adaptability and approachability than isolated and rejected children. Also, distractibility appeared to discriminate amiable and rejected children from popular and isolated peers. Collectively, these data suggest temperamental factors may discriminate children according to sociometric status.

description: We study the density of states in monolayer and bilayer graphene in the presence of a random potential that breaks sublattice symmetries. While a uniform symmetry-breaking potential opens a uniform gap, a random symmetry-breaking potential also creates tails in the density of states. The latter can close the gap again, preventing the system to become an insulator. However, for a sufficiently large gap the tails contain localized states with nonzero density of states. These localized states allow the system to conduct at nonzero temperature via variable-range hopping. This result is in agreement with recent experimental observations in graphane by Elias {\it et al.}.

description: UCoGe is one of the few compounds showing the coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity at ambient pressure. With T_Curie = 3 K and T_SC = 0.6 K it is near a quantum phase transition; the pressure needed to suppress the magnetism is slightly higher than 1 GPa. We report simultaneous resistivity and ac-susceptibility measurements under pressure on a polycrystal with very large single-crystalline domains and a resistivity ratio of about 6. Both methods confirm the phase diagram established before by resistivity measurements on a polycrystal. The ferromagnetic phase is suppressed for P approximately 1.2 GPa. Astonishingly, the superconductivity persists at pressures up to at least 2.4 GPa. In other superconducting and ferromagnetic heavy fermion compounds like UGe2 and URhGe, the superconducting state is situated only inside the larger ferromagnetic region. Therefore, UCoGe seems to be the first example where superconductivity extends from the ferromagnetic to the paramagnetic region.

description: An approach is treated for numerical integration of ordinary differential equations systems of the first order with choice of a computation scheme, ensuring the required local precision. The treatment is made on the basis of schemes of Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg type. Criteria are proposed as well as a method for the realization of the choice of an 'optimum' scheme. The effectiveness of the presented approach to problems in the field of satellite dynamics is illustrated by results from a numerical experiment. These results refer to a case when a satisfactory global stability of the solution for all treated cases is available. The effectiveness has been evaluated as good, especially when solving multi-variable problems in the sphere of simulation modelling.

description: We calculate the spectra of two-component accretion flows around black holes of various masses, from quasars to nano-quasars. Specifically, we fit the observational data of M87 very satisfactorily using our model and find that the spectrum may be well fitted by a sub-Keplerian component alone, and there is little need of any Keplerian component. The non-thermal distribution of electrons produced by their acceleration across the standing shock in the sub-Keplerian component is enough to produce the observed flat spectrum through the synchrotron radiation.

description: In this paper, we present an exact procedure to deal with Dirac strings or worldsheets in gauge theories containing ensembles of monopoles interacting with charged fields. For SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, initially we construct the appropriate change of variables of the charged fields (including charged ghosts and auxiliary fields) so that the only change in the integrand of the partition function, in the Maximal Abelian gauge, is the addition of given closed Dirac worldsheets. Next, we derive our main result, namely, we show that it is always possible to choose them in such a manner that the total (open plus closed) Dirac worldsheets explicitly decouple from the charged sector, leaving only the effect of their associated gauge invariant borders (where the monopoles are placed), without missing any information about the center vortex sector. This procedure serves as a simplifying basis to deal with ensembles of monopoles and center vortices in the framework of the Cho-Faddeev-Niemi gauge field decomposition, by writing the partition function only in terms of the physical part of the defects to be integrated.

description: Konrad Ehlich (1998) gehört zu denjenigen Fachsprachenforschern, die schon geraume Zeit eine sprachvergleichende ,Komparatistik’ im Bereich der Wissenschaftssprachforschung propagieren. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen ist sein Ruf ungehört verhallt. Nun liegt eine Studie vor, die sich dem Ehlichschen Anliegen erstmals in gebotener Ausführlichkeit widmet. Winfried Thielmanns Münchener Habilitationsschrift von 2006 ist eine umfangreiche, in der von Ehlich in Verbindung mit Christian Fandrych, Angelika Redder und Clemens Knobloch herausgegebenen Reihe ,Wissenschaftskommunikation‘ (Synchron-Verlag Heidelberg) adäquat platzierte Studie. Thielmann untersucht – dies liegt nahe – deutsche und englische Wissenschaftstexte unter bestimmten Aspekten. Eine Eingrenzung der Themenbereiche, wie sie Thielmann vornimmt, ist einerseits sinnvoll. Andererseits wird nicht immer deutlich, warum just die gewählten Themen (s. u.) und nicht etwa andere im Fokus stehen. Einige Schwerpunktsetzungen erklären sich aus Thielmanns früherem Forschungsfokus (vgl. Thielmann 1999).
Studies in the thermal decomposition of the isomeric hexanes
Creators: name: Chrysochoos, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: An investigation has been made of the pyrolysis of n-hexane, S-methyl-pentane, 3-methyl-pentane, 2, 8-dimethyl-butane and 2,3-dimethyl-butane in a static system at temperatures between 490° and 530°C. The normal pyrolysis and also the pyrolysis inhibited by nitric oxide have been studied. The effect of variation of initial hydrocarbon pressure on the distribution of products and on energies of activation and frequency factors was determined for the uninhibited reactions. The effect of variation in surface-to-volume ratio on rates and on product distribution has also been investigated. A study of factors governing overall reaction rates has provided information on the kinetics of chain termination processes. All pyrolyses at low pressures are significantly inhibited by reactions occurring on the surface of the quartz vessel. Mechanisms have been proposed to account qualitatively for observed decomposition products and the kinetics of pyrolysis of each of the isomers. In the reactions inhibited by nitric oxide, the effect of the pressure of nitric oxide on the rates and product distributions has been examined. The effect of an increase in surface-to-volume ratio on reaction rates and on product distributions has been investigated. The pressure of NO required for maximum inhibition appears to be independent of the partial pressure of the hydrocarbon and also of the nature of the latter. The kinetic and analytical evidence indicates that nitric oxide acts "both homogeneously and heterogeneously as an inhibitor. Significant consumption of nitric oxide was found for all branched isomers. The reduction in inhibition observed as the branching of the isomers increases is attributed in part to increased heterogeneous initiation reactions, from an increase in the extent of adsorption of the more branched isomers relative to the less-branched isomers. A mechanism is proposed for the inhibited pyrolysis of each of the isomers, which accounts qualitatively for the experimental results. A major conclusion drawn from the present study is that nitric oxide acts as an inhibitor through reactions occurring on the surface of the reaction vessel as well as through reactions occurring in the gas phase.

description: We develop the potential scattering of a spinor within the context of perturbation field theory. As an application, we reproduce, up to second order in the potential, the diffusion results for a potential barrier of quantum mechanics. An immediate consequence is a simple generalization to arbitrary potential forms, a feature not possible in quantum mechanics.

description: Professor Paul Meara (Universität Swansea, Wales) ist Verfasser zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Beiträge zum Zweitsprachenerwerb und zur Psycholinguistik. Der vorliegende Band ist einerseits eine Zusammenfassung früherer Beiträge des Autors auf dem Gebiet der Assoziationsforschung, andererseits enthält er aber auch bisher nicht veröffentlichte Kapitel. Er lässt sich somit als Abriss der Entwicklungsprozesse in der Assoziationsforschung der Zweitsprache (L2) auffassen. Die folgende Rezension hat nicht die Absicht, die einzelnen Beiträge in ihrer Abfolge vorzustellen, sondern das Gesamtkonzept von Meara zusammenfassend zu würdigen und zu diskutieren.
Expanding the applications of Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS): microbial detection, diagnostics and metabolic profiling

description: The swift diagnosis of infection and identification of the causative microorganism is imperative to improving patient outcomes. Traditional identification techniques rely on microbial culturing, which is time consuming, labour intensive and subject to interpretation. Molecular methods are expensive and require extensive sample preparation. Commercial MALDI-ToF systems have become integrated into clinical microbiology laboratory workflows due to their ease of use, low per-sample cost, and ability to reduce sample turnaround times by one day. Although these systems have revolutionised clinical labs, they still largely rely on isolation and pre-culture of microorganisms prior to analysis. Some attempts have been made to develop “direct from sample analysis”, however protocols include extensive sample preparation steps and provide unreliable results in the case of poly-microbial samples. The ambient Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) phospholipid based profiling technique has been previously shown to accurately classify isolated clinical microorganisms from agar media. REIMS offers an advantage over existing methods in that real time analysis can be conducted on intact cells with no sample preparation required. This project expands on previous work through the development of a methodology allowing liquid sample analysis, and its direct application to clinical specimens without the requirement of pre-culture. In the analysis of clinical urine samples, culture negative and culture positive specimens were discriminated successfully, and species-specific biomarkers were identified. Species-specific biomarkers were also detected in synthetic mixed cultures, indicating the potential for REIMS in poly-microbial sample analysis. Additionally, the technique was applied to bovine milk in the investigation of mastitis, and was able to discern mastitis positive and negative milk samples. REIMS was shown to be a versatile culture free microbial identification system with applications outside of the human clinical laboratory, and offers an alternative to existing methods in the veterinary field, which also rely on microbial culture for non-ambiguous species identification.

description: Fremdsprachliche Kompetenzen können qualitativ auf unterschiedlichen Kompetenzniveaus beschreiben werden, um Informationen über die Bedeutung von unterschiedlichen Ausprägung der Kompetenzen zu geben. Kompetenzniveaus werden auch in Schulleistungstests genutzt, wobei hier empirisch-quantitative Methoden zur Niveaubildung eingesetzt werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag verbindet quantitative Methoden mit qualitativen Beschreibungen, um zu validen Niveaueinteilungen zu kommen. Dazu werden drei typische Vorgehensweisen zur Definition von Kompetenzniveaus diskutiert, die Post-Hoc-Beschreibung willkürlich gebildeter Niveaus, die Ableitung von Kompetenzniveaus aus Aufgabenmerkmalen und die Modellbasierte Aufgabenkonstruktion und Niveaudefinition. Letztere Vorgehensweise wird am Beispiel der Testentwicklung zur Evaluation der Bildungsstandards Englisch illustriert. Abschließend werden Grenzen der vorgestellten Methoden und Implikationen für Unterricht und Forschung diskutiert.
