description: Das Land Rheinland-Pfalz hat, zusammen mit dem Land Nordrhein-Westfalen, seit den frühen siebziger Jahren in Deutschland die längste Tradition im Bilingualen Sachfachunterricht (BSU) und hat im Auftrag des Europarates 1993 den Workshop 12 A, zusammen mit dem Kultusministerium Nordrhein-Westfalen, zu diesem Thema ausgerichtet. Diese Tradition entwickelte sich jedoch zunächst nur an bisher 28 Gymnasien, an denen Elternwille, engagierte Lehrkräfte und prestigebewusste Schulleitungen eine wirkungsvolle Lobby bildeten. So konnten die notwendigen finanziellen Zusatzmittel für den BSU jeweils gesichert werden, wenn auch vor einem erheblich unsicheren konzeptuellen Hintergrund. Ohne die erheblichen Leistungen der eingesetzten Lehrkräfte schmälern zu wollen: didaktische Entscheidungen wurden in diesem Neuland eher pragmatisch aufgrund individueller Leitbilder davon gefällt, was erfolgreicher Unterricht im Sachfach Geschichte oder Erdkunde in englischer oder französischer Sprache sein sollte. Diese Lehrkräfte hatten - mehr oder minder "zufällig" - Romanistik oder Anglistik sowie ein Sachfach studiert und waren ausreichend einsatz- und experimentierfreudig, um eine Kombination dieser Fächer im BSU zu übernehmen. Ein aus der Sicht aller Beteiligten "erfolgreicher" bilingualer Unterricht, der einzig und allein gemessen wurde am Grad der ausgeprägteren fremdsprachlichen Kompetenz, war ein unbekümmerter Selbstläufer, ohne eine Metaebene stringenter didaktischer und/oder methodischer Reflexion. Wenn diese angestrebt wurde, dann vorwiegend aus der Sicht der Fremdsprachendidaktik, die BSU begriff als "ein[en] auf Sachfächer erweiterte[n] Fremdsprachenunterricht mit dem erklärten Ziel, eine den schulischen Verhältnissen angepaßte Kompetenz in beiden Sprachen unter Einschluß einer fachsprachlich ausgeprägten 'translatorischen' Kompetenz in beiden Richtungen [...]" (Weller, 1996, 78) zu schaffen.

description: Wenn von Innovation und Effektivierung fremdsprachlichen Lernens in der Schule die Rede ist, sind es vor allem zwei Themen, die in den letzten Jahren die Diskussion in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, aber auch in anderen europäischen Ländern, beherrschen: Frühes Fremdsprachenlernen (FFSL) und Bilingualer Unterricht (BU). Zwischen beiden Themen bestehen Verbindungen insofern, als FFSL als eine günstige Voraussetzung für darauf aufbauenden BU angesehen wird. Die Realisierung dieser Abfolge ist in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bisher noch selten der Fall, da BU in der Regel in der 7. Klasse einsetzt, nachdem in der 5. und 6. Klasse die sprachliche Vorbereitung stattgefunden hat. Es ist aber zu erwarten, dass in dem Maße, wie durch FFSL entsprechende sprachliche Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden, auch BU früher einsetzen wird. So kann FFSL auch als Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme an weiterführendem BU angesehen werden, wenn Kinder, die an keinem FFSL teilgenommen haben, in einen solchen 'weiterführenden' Unterricht nicht mehr einsteigen können. Diese Situation ist in Russland die Regel, da hier das FFSL bereits in der ersten oder zweiten Klasse einsetzt. Häufig wird der Unterricht auch schon durch fremdsprachliche Anteile im Fachunterricht auf der Primarstufe (z. B. in den Fächern Musik, Kunst, Sport, Sachunterricht) erweitert. Da das russische Schulsystem gegenwärtig praktisch nur über zehn Klassen verfügt, unterscheidet sich der russische BU von der Anzahl der Jahre her gesehen, in denen er erteilt wird, nicht wesentlich vom BU in der BRD. Der Unterschied liegt vor allem darin, dass die russischen Schüler sehr viel früher als die deutschen mit komplexen und umfangreichen Lerninhalten konfrontiert werden, da sie ja auch drei Jahre früher als die deutschen Schüler die Schule verlassen. Die russischen Curricula wirken im Vergleich mit deutschen Curricula derselben Klassenstufen deshalb häufig als zu anspruchsvoll, überfrachtet und nicht altersangemessen - die deutsche Sichtweise wird aber den russischen Bedingungen nicht immer gerecht.

description: Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) are showing promise in many biomedical applications. One of these- magnetic hyperthermia- utilizes externally applied alternating magnetic fields and tumor-residing magnetic nanoparticles to generate localized therapeutic temperature elevations. Magnetic hyperthermia is approved in Europe to treat glioblastoma and is undergoing clinical assessment in the United States to treat prostate cancer. In this study, we performed biodistribution and histological analysis of a new IONP (RCL-01) in Wistar rats. These nanoparticles are currently undergoing clinical assessment in locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to determine the feasibility of magnetic hyperthermia treatment in this disease. The study presented here aimed to determine the fate of these nanoparticles in vivo and whether this results in organ damage. Wistar rats were injected intravenously with relatively high doses of IONP (30 mgFe/kg, 45 mgFe/kg and 60 mgFe/kg) and compared to a vehicle control to determine the accumulation of iron in organs and whether this resulted in histological changes in these tissues. Dose-dependent increases of iron were observed in the liver, spleen and lungs of IONP-treated animals at 7 days postinjection; however, this did not result in significant histological changes in these tissues. Immunofluorescent imaging determined these nanoparticles are internalized by macrophages in tissue, suggesting they are readily phagocytosed by the reticuloendothelial system for eventual recycling. Notably, no changes in iron or dextran staining were found in the kidneys across all treatment groups, providing evidence for potential renal clearance.
The control of cyclical changes in the testicular activity of the lake chub Couesius plumbeus (Agassiz)

description: The annual testicular cycle of a teleost the lake chub (Couesius plumbeus) from a north temperate latitude (51°N) has been studied by histological and histochemical methods with a planimetric evaluation of the different spermatogenetic stages. The annual cycle is divided into five different stages and the cyclical testicular changes have been correlated with changing environmental conditions. Lobule boundary cells, considered to be homologue of the Leydig cells of higher vertebrates, have been identified, and the changes in their secretory activity have been reported. Temperature is the major environmental factor controlling the testicular cycle. The pituitary gland, through its gonadotropin(s), mediates between environmental changes and developments in the testes. Higher temperatures (16°-22°C) promote spermiogenesis and spermiation, whereas low temperatures (5°-12°C) are more conducive to gonial proliferation and the initial phase of spermatogenesis. Hypophysectomy affects the mitotic ability of the spermatogonia, completely blocks their transformation into spermatocytes and suppresses the secretory activity of the lobule boundary cells. Replacement therapy with fish gonadotropin and mammalian LH restores spermatogenesis to a large extent and maximum response is elicited with whole fish pituitary extract. It is proposed that the fish pituitary gonadotropin is similar to mammalian LH and in this species mammalian FSH is physiologically inactive in the restoration of testicular activity. Since whole fish pituitary produces a maximum response it is suggested that factors such as TSH and STH have a probable synergistic role in the testicular maturation in Couesius plumbeus. Evidence is presented that a weak endogenous rhythm of activity is partly responsible for the timing of various testicular changes.

description: We study an inflationary scenario with a vector field coupled with an inflaton field and show that the inflationary universe is endowed with anisotropy for a wide range of coupling functions. This anisotropic inflation is a tracking solution where the energy density of the vector field follows that of the inflaton field irrespective of initial conditions. We find a universal relation between the anisotropy and a slow-roll parameter of inflation. Our finding has observational implications and gives a counter example to the cosmic no-hair conjecture.

description: (Abridged) We present two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of slowly rotating gas that is under the influence of the gravity of a super massive black hole and is irradiated by a thin UV accretion disc and a spherical X-ray corona. We calculate the accretion luminosity of a system based on the accretion-rate which is assumed to be equal to the mass-supply rate at the radius of ~10^-2 pc. For the models with high temperature gas at large radii (~10 pc) and high luminosities, we find a strong correlation between the mass-outflow rate (Mdot_out) and the luminosity (L). The power law index (q) describing the Mdot_out-L relation is q=2.0(+/-0.1), which is very similar to that for radiation-driven stellar and disc wind models. More surprisingly, for high density at large radii, we find steady state solutions with the accretion luminosity exceeding the Eddington limit. The super-Eddington accretion proceeds in the equatorial region and is possible because the radiation flux from the disc is significantly reduced in the equatorial direction due to the geometrical foreshortening effect. In all models, an outflow is driven from an inflow with sub-Keplerian rotation. For high temperature at large radii, the inflow occurs over a wide range of the polar angles, and the outflow occurs in a relatively narrow polar cone. However, for the super-Eddington cases with low temperature at large radii, the inflow persists only very close to the equatorial plane, resembling a thin accretion disc, while the outflow arises in a wide range of radii and polar angles. The geometry of this extreme inflow-outflow solution is very similar to a radiation-driven wind from a luminous Keplerian accretion disc.

description: Die zentralen Ziele dürften heutzutage kaum mehr kontrovers sein. Junge Europäer sollten zusätzlich zu ihrer Muttersprache (L1) mindestens zwei Sprachen so weit lernen, dass sie funktional für die Ansprüche des späteren Lebens ausreichen. Um einem differenzierten Arbeitsmarkt gerecht werden zu können, sollte das Sprachenangebot so vielfältig wie möglich gestaltet werden und in allen Schulformen möglichst flächendeckend zur Verfügung stehen. Eine Elitebildung ist dabei unbedingt zu vermeiden. Für jede der unterrichteten Sprachen sollte ein ausreichend hohes Schriftlichkeitsniveau gewährleistet werden, die betreffende Sprache sollte also hinreichend lange gefördert werden. Wichtig ist vor allem, dass in Zukunft die regional vorhandenen kleineren Sprachen verstärkt einbezogen werden. Wer die Sprachenvielfalt in Europa wirklich erhalten will, muss dafür sorgen, dass z. B. in multilingualen Gebieten auch jene Sprachen schulisch gefördert werden, die bislang gar nicht oder nur marginal im öffentlichen Erziehungssystem berücksichtigt wurden (ausführlicher z. B. Wode, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1998a). Eine integrierte Konzeption von bilingualem Unterricht (BIU) im Verbund von Kindergarten, Grundschule und Sekundarstufe I könnte all diesen Anforderungen gerecht werden.

description: We revisit an old idea that gravity can be unified with Yang-Mills theory by enlarging the gauge group of gravity formulated as gauge theory. Our starting point is an action that describes a generally covariant gauge theory for a group G. The Minkowski background breaks the gauge group by selecting in it a preferred gravitational SU(2) subgroup. We expand the action around this background and find the spectrum of linearized theory to consist of the usual gravitons plus Yang-Mills fields charged under the centralizer of the SU(2) in G. In addition, there is a set of Higgs fields that are charged both under the gravitational and Yang-Mills subgroups. These fields are generically massive and interact with both gravity and Yang-Mills sector in the standard way. The arising interaction of the Yang-Mills sector with gravity is also standard. Parameters such as the Yang-Mills coupling constant and Higgs mass arise from the potential function defining the theory. Both are realistic in the sense explained in the paper.

description: Moving beyond the racial achievement gap to determine conditions that promote African American student success requires exploring the history of African American education and what works for successful African American learners. The study uses Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a positive approach and research methodology for unlocking the phenomenon of student success for African American learners-past, present, and future-in a public education system. It employs technology as a data collection and analysis tool, but also as a tutor and tutee. The study organization is a single gender, selective enrollment, urban public high school. Two groups of respondents are the subjects of this study. The first group consists of African American alumnae of the school who attended it during the post-Brown v. Board of Education (1954) era and self-identify as being successful academically and professionally. The second group is that of current African American students who were from among the school's juniors and seniors. Findings inform effective instructional practices as well as characteristics of an environment conducive to teaching and learning. Additionally, the study yields recommendations for the school's future and implications for public education.

title: Vocabulary Skills of French Immersion Students in their Second Language
Creators: name: Harley, Birgit

Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Vocabulary knowledge is known to be crucial for reading comprehension and for dealing with academic content in a second language (e.g., Garcia, 1991; Hazenberg and Hulstijn, 1996; Laufer, 1992; Nation, 1993). In French immersion programs, where much of the school curriculum is taught in the second language, an important issue therefore concerns students' lexical development in French. With the current emphasis in schools on using educationally enriching, authentic French content in regular 'core' French programs as well, lexical development is of primary importance in this context too. Indeed, numerous recent publications addressed to language teachers and applied linguists concerned with learners in a wide variety of contexts (e.g., Coady and Huckin, 1997; Harley, 1995; Hatch and Brown, 1995; Nation, 1990; Huckin, Haynes, and Coady, 1993; Schmitt and McCarthy, 1997; Singleton, 1999) signal growing recognition of the key role of vocabulary knowledge in the development of second language proficiency. This article first provides a summary account of vocabulary-oriented research conducted in recent years in French immersion classrooms, leading up to a new study examining a specific aspect of the lexical development of French immersion students vis-à-vis core French students: namely, their word analysis skills in the second language, French. The ability to analyse the internal structure of words is important because it can provide access to many new words and increase 'potential vocabulary' (Palmberg, 1987) in the second language. In immersion and core French programs in Canada, most French-as-asecond-language materials currently in use pay little or no attention to such skills. One aim of this study, therefore, is to determine what word analysis skills students at different grade levels in these programs now have in order to provide useful diagnostic information for teachers and a solid empirical basis for the development of relevant classroom materials.

description: Fire safety is a very important issue. Big and small fires can do terrible damage to people and property. Unpredictably, fires can spread quickly, consuming entire buildings and posing a threat to human life in a matter of seconds. When paired with real-time communication, automation can greatly improve the capacity to react to fires quickly and efficiently. Fire safety has advanced significantly as a result of technological development. Advanced sensors and algorithms are used by smart fire detection systems to quickly and accurately identify fires. Earlier studies have concentrated on using sensors such as infrared, LIDAR, and ultrasonic to help robots navigate in challenging and changing environments.
Synthesis of cycloalkyl analogues of diphenhydramine
Creators: name: Chan, Gwendolyn Faye Quen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Two series of diphenhydramine analogues have been prepared. In the first series, one phenyl ring in the benzhydryl nucleus has been substituted with a cycloalkyl ring containing three to seven carbon atoms inclusive. In the second series both phenyl rings have been replaced by two rings containing three, five and six carbon atoms. The following amines have been prepared: 2-(α -cyclopropylbenzyloxy)-N,N-dimethylethylamine, 2-(α -cyclobutylbenzyloxy) -N,N-dimethylethylamine, 2-(α-cyclopentylbenzyloxy)-N,N-dimethylethylamine, 2- (α -cyclohexylbenzyloxy) -N, N-dimethylethylamine, 2-(α-cycloheptylbenzyloxy)-N,N-dimethylethylamine, 2-(dicyclopropylmethoxy)-N,N-dimethylethylamine, 2-(dicyclopentylmethoxy)-N,N-dimethylethylamine and 2-(dicyclohexylraethoxy)-N,N,-dimethylethylamine. These compounds have been characterized by their infrared spectra and, where possible, by elemental analyses of the chloroplatinates. The reaction scheme involved a Grignard reaction of the cycloalkylbromide on benzaldehyde to yield the cycloalkyl-phenylcarbinol for the first series, and reaction on ethyl formate to yield the dicycloalkylcarbinol for the second series. Cyclobutylphenylcarbinol was obtained through a Friedel-Crafts reaction of cyclobutanecarboxyl chloride on benzene using aluminum chloride as the catalyst and subsequent reduction of the cyclobutylphenylketone with lithium aluminum hydride. These secondary carbinols were then condensed with 2-dimethylaminoethylbromide hydrobromide in the presence of sodium amide. An alternate condensation reaction in the second series involved reaction of the dicycloalkylmethylbromide with 2-dimethylaminoethanol using sodamide as the condensing agent. The major problems in the syntheses of the carbinols are the presence of carbonyl contaminants in some of the products, particularly in the cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl compounds, and the low yields of addition products obtained. It appears that better results would be achieved if the amount of Grignard reagent in the solution is estimated by a standard method to determine the amount of aldehyde or ester required for the reaction. In the condensation reactions, difficulty was encountered in formation of the sodium derivative. This reaction required a finely-divided form of the condensing agent and sufficient warming time for the reaction to proceed. However, too lengthy a period of heating appears to alter the carbinol molecule so that no product could be obtained. The second phase of the condensation reaction also proceeds slowly, and a sufficient period of refluxing is necessary for the reaction to go to completion. The alternate procedure which was also employed in the second series of compounds did not appear to improve the yields of products. Signature of Examiners

description: Excerpt from the Executive Summary:

Smoking has been estimated to increase health care costs in the United States by $167.5 billion annually (Xu et al. 2015). In Kentucky, smoking adds $2.5 billion in health care expenditures each year. Most of these costs were paid by public programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. While these costs are significant, they represent only a portion of the costs that smoking imposes on society. Smoking also leads to poorer labor market outcomes. Smokers are more likely to be unemployed, earn lower wages, and die prematurely than non-smokers. These negative labor market effects reduce economic activity and lower tax revenues, adding to the social costs and fiscal impact that smoking imposes.

Past research shows that smokers generally earn four to eleven percent less than similar nonsmokers. Some of this wage penalty is due to the negative health consequences of smoking. Smoking can reduce workers’ health, causing them to be less productive, have higher health insurance costs, and incur greater rates of absenteeism. As a result, smokers tend to earn lower wages. However, the wage penalty might also reflect differences between those who decide to smoke and those who do not rather than being caused directly by smoking.

description: Excerpts from the report: This bulletin summarizes information on date culture in the Southwestern United States and is based on extensive research findings and grower experience. The date palm is very different from other fruit trees in cultural, climatic, and management requirements. The bulletin is intended to give essential information for inexperienced growers, students of horticulture, home growers, and others interested in the production of this unique fruit crop. Dates are grown commercially in the desert sections of southern California and Arizona. Fruit production increased from 1 million pounds in 1926 to more than 48 million pounds in 1955. This last year was unusually favorable, as the average annual production for the 5 preceding years was only 33 million pounds. From 1949 to 1953, inclusive, importations of dates, mostly from Iraq, averaged approximately 40 million pounds annually.

B. im Zuge von fachhistorischen Studien zu solchen werden können und welche Rolle die Offenheit der (Meta-)Daten hierfür spielt. Abschließend fällt die Betrachtung auf zwei andere Anwendungsfelder von offenen Daten in der medienwissenschaftlichen Forschung, wenn es um die Anreicherung des Normdatenbestandes von Wikidata sowie der Datenanreicherung nachgenutzter Datenbestände durch Wikidata mittels OpenRefine geht.

description: Bei der Diskussion über die Förderung und Ausbildung von institutionell gesteuerten Mehrsprachigkeitsprofilen nehmen Formen des bilingualen Lehrens und Lernens bzw. des Einsatzes von Fremdsprachen als Arbeitssprachen im Sachfachunterricht eine vorrangige Stellung ein. Bilinguale Lehr- bzw. Lernangebote zielen darauf ab, im Vergleich zum herkömmlichen Fremdsprachenunterricht intensivierte und zugleich sach- bzw. fachorientierte - und damit differenzierte - Fremdsprachenkenntnisse zu vermitteln.

Transforming SQLITE DBMS to run on a bare PC
Creators: name: Okafor, Uzo
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation extends on-going Bare Machine Computing (BMC) research at Towson University. BMC applications run on a bare machine without any commercial operating system, kernel or other centralized support and are in need of a bare machine database management system. This research deals with transforming SQLITE DBMS system to run on a bare PC. The SQLITE DBMS is a lean database that runs on Windows or Linux operating system. It is commonly used as a standalone database across many academic institutions and is also a free download. When a DBMS runs on top of an operating system, it uses the operating system's system calls to access hardware resources. This dissertation will eliminate such system calls and allow the SQLITE DBMS to directly access and manage hardware resources. This novel concept eventually will pave the way to transform other systems and application programs. The transformation process poses many daunting challenges and issues. There are a variety of ways to explore the transformation process. However, this dissertation proposes a novel approach in transformation methodology using existing tools. It uses Microsoft Visual Studio to develop, test, validate and debug bare PC applications; this step is referred to as pseudo transformation process. This pseudo transformed code is then used in further transformation process where rest of the OS related dependencies are eliminated. This fully transformed code is now ready to run on a bare PC. The primary objective of this research assumes minimal understanding or modification of the SQLITE code during its transformation. This dissertation demonstrates and validates this hypothesis successfully. After transformation, the functionality and results are validated with its original SQLITE model that runs on a Windows operating system. This investigation serves as a cornerstone for future transformation of operating system based applications to run on a bare PC or a bare machine. It also lays a foundation to build an automated tool to replace the manual process outlined in this research.

description: Theories that attempt to explain the observed cosmic acceleration by modifying general relativity all introduce a new scalar degree of freedom that is active on large scales, but is screened on small scales to match experiments. We show that if such screening occurrs via the chameleon mechanism such as in f(R), it is possible to have order one violation of the equivalence principle, despite the absence of explicit violation in the microscopic action. Namely, extended objects such as galaxies or constituents thereof do not all fall at the same rate. The chameleon mechanism can screen the scalar charge for large objects but not for small ones (large/small is defined by the gravitational potential and controlled by the scalar coupling). This leads to order one fluctuations in the inertial to gravitational mass ratio. In Jordan frame, it is no longer true that all objects move on geodesics. In contrast, if the scalar screening occurrs via strong coupling, such as in the DGP braneworld model, equivalence principle violation occurrs at a much reduced level. We propose several observational tests of the chameleon mechanism: 1. small galaxies should fall faster than large galaxies, even when dynamical friction is negligible; 2. voids defined by small galaxies would be larger compared to standard expectations; 3. stars and diffuse gas in small galaxies should have different velocities, even on the same orbits; 4. lensing and dynamical mass estimates should agree for large galaxies but disagree for small ones. We discuss possible pitfalls in some of these tests. The cleanest is the third one where mass estimate from HI rotational velocity could exceed that from stars by 30 % or more. To avoid blanket screening of all objects, the most promising place to look is in voids.

An economic history of Latin American developmental approaches: the political economy of world trade
Creators: name: Zimmerman, Robert Andrew
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015

description: This thesis examines theories, policies and practices of economic development in Latin America over the past seven decades. For conducting my research, I will focus primarily on a review and analysis of previously complied and published works on the history of Latin America. My goal with this thesis was to prove a deeper understanding of the different economic policies of Latin America so I would be better prepared to teach alternatives to the classical free trade policies that have become dominant during the past thirty years. These failed policies have expanded poverty and inequality not only in Latin America but also across the world. The belief that free trade is the only way to economic prosperity discourages any alternatives. However there has to be a better way and the first step is to understand what has worked and what has not.

An exploration of intimate partner violence among patients with dissociative disorders
Creators: name: Webermann, Aliya R.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015

description: Childhood maltreatment (CM) and dissociation are noted risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV) in adulthood. Patients diagnosed with complex dissociative disorders (DDs) are at the intersection of these two risk factors, and likely to experience IPV, but few studies have explored IPV within the DD population. The present study examined IPV among DD patients in a longitudinal educational intervention study. Clinicians reported on patients' lifetime rates of adult physical, emotional, and sexual IPV as both victims and perpetrators, and patients' childhood family dynamics. Patients reported on their IPV and dissociative symptoms occurring while perpetrating IPV. Analyses revealed that patient-reported dissociative symptoms accurately predicted which patients had a history of clinician-reported physical IPV, and dissociative symptoms were significantly correlated with dissociative violence. In addition, patients with clinician-reported IPV had significantly worse childhood family dynamics. The present study's contributions to the literature, as well as directions for future research, are discussed.
