description: Co-operatively breeding mammals often exhibit a female reproductive skew and suppression of the subordinate non-breeding group members. According to evolutionary theory and the immunity–fertility axis, an inverse relationship between reproductive investment and survival (through immunocompetence) is expected. As such, this study investigates if a trade-off between immunocompetence and reproduction arises in two co-operatively breeding African mole-rat species, namely the Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis) and common mole-rat (Cryptomys hottentotus hottentotus), who possess female reproductive division of labour. This study also attempted to investigate the relationship between the immune and endocrine systems in Damaraland mole-rats. There was no trade-off between reproduction and immunocompetence in co-operatively breeding African mole-rat species, and in the case of the Damaraland mole-rats, breeding females (BFs) possessed increased immunocompetence compared with non-breeding females (NBFs). Furthermore, the increased levels of progesterone possessed by Damaraland mole-rat BFs compared with NBFs appears to be correlated to increased immunocompetence. In comparison, BF and NBF common mole-rats possess similar immunocompetence. The species-specific differences in the immunity–fertility axis may be due to variations in the strengths of reproductive suppression in each species.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Evolutionary ecology of inequality’.

description: To get the total cross section of one interaction from its amplitude ${\cal M}$, one needs to integrate $|{\cal M}|^2$ over phase spaces of all out-going particles. Starting from this paper, we will propose a new method to perform such integrations, which is inspired by the reduced phase space integration of one-loop unitarity cut developed in the last few years. The new method reduces one constrained three-dimension momentum space integration to an one-dimensional integration, plus one possible Feynman parameter integration. There is no need to specify a reference framework in our calculation, since every step is manifestly Lorentz invariant by the new method. The current paper is the first paper of a series for the new method. Here we have exclusively focused on massless particles in 4D. There is no need to carve out a complicated integration region in the phase space for this particular simple case because the integration region is always simply $[0,1]$.

The Role of Semiclassical Description in the Quantum-like Theory of Light Rays

Year: 1999

description: An alternative procedure to the one by Gloge and Marcuse [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 59, 1629 (1969)] for performing the transition from geometrical optics to wave optics in the paraxial approximation is presented. This is done by employing a recent "deformation" method used to give a quantumlike phase-space description of charged-particle-beam transport in the semiclassical approximation. By taking into account the uncertainty relation (diffraction limit) that holds between the transverse-beam-spot size and the rms of the light-ray slopes, the classical phase-space equation for light rays is deformed into a von Neumann-like equation that governs the phase-space description of the beam transport in the semiclassical approximation. Here, Planck's constant and the time are replaced by the inverse of the wave number, not lambda, and the propagation coordinate, respectively. In this framework, the corresponding Wigner-like picture is given and the quantumlike corrections for an arbitrary refractive index are considered. In particular, it is shown that the paraxial-radiation-beam transport can also be described in terms of a fluid motion equation, where the pressure term is replaced by a quantumlike potential in the semiclassical approximation that accounts for the diffraction of the beam. Finally, a comparison of this fluid model with Madelung's fluid model is made, and the classical-like picture given by the tomographic approach to radiation beams is advanced as a future perspective.

title: A Monte Carlo Simulation of Coulomb Collisions and Wave-Particle Interactions in Space Plasma at High Latitudes
Creators: name: Barghouthi, Imad Ahmad
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: Four studies were considered to simulate the ion behavior in the auroral region and the polar wind.
In study I, a Monte Carlo simulation was used to investigate the behavior of O+ ions that are E x B-drifting through a background of neutral O, with the effect of O+(Coulomb) self-collisions included. Wide ranges of the ion-to-neutral density ratio ni|nn and electrostatic field E were considered in order to investigate the change of ion behavior with respect to the solar cycle and altitude. For low altitudes and/or solar minimum (ni|nn≤10-5), the effect of self-collisions is negligible. For higher values of ni|nn, the effect of self-collisions becomes significant and, hence, the non-Maxwellian features of the O+ distributions are reduced.
In study II, the steady-state flow of the polar wind protons through a background of O+ ions was studied. Special attention was given to using an accurate collision model. The Fokker-Planck expression was used to represent H+-O+ Coulomb collisions. The transition layer between the collision-dominated and the collision less regions plays a pivotal role in the behavior of the H+ flow. In the transition region, the shape of H+ distribution changes in a complicated manner from Maxwellian to "kidney bean". The flow also changes from subsonic to supersonic within the transition region. The heat fluxes of parallel and perpendicular energies change rapidly from their maximum (positive) to their minimum (negative) values within the same transition region.
In study III, a Monte Carlo simulation was developed in order to study the effect of the wave-particle interactions (WPI) on O+ and H+ ions outflow in the polar wind. The simulation also considered the other mechanisms included in the classical polar wind studies such as gravity, polarization electrostatic field, and divergence of geomagnetic field lines. Also, an altitude dependent wave spectral density was adopted. The main conclusions are (I) the o+ velocity distribution develops conic features at high altitudes; (2) the O+ ions are preferentially energized; (3) the escape flux of O+ increased by a factor of 40, while the escape flux of H+ remained constant; (4) including the effect of a finite ion Larmor radius produced toroidal features for o+ and H+ distributions at higher altitudes.
In study IV, a comparison between the effect of WPI on H+ and O+ ion outflow in the polar wind and in the auroral regions was studied. It was concluded that: (I) O+ is preferentially energized in both regions; (2) both ions (H+ and O+) are more energetic in the auroral region at most altitudes; (3) in the auroral region, the ion conics formed at lower altitudes, at 1.6 R, for O+ and 2.5 R, for H+, while in the polar wind H+ did not form conics and O+ formed conics at high altitudes; (4) the effects of body forces are more important in the polar wind than in the auroral region, and for O+ than H+.
title: Children's Relationships with Peers

description: A child 's family is the center of his world during infancy and extending into the preschool years. As a child nears school age and in succeeding years, he reaches out into the world beyond his home environment. He comes in contact with the world of other people who arc not included in his family circle. In this new world of peers, the child finds something he does not find at home. Here are other individuals like himself who have many things in common, such as age, appearance, interests , and desires. We find in this peer culture, children who can better satisfy their growing needs of self-identification and social adjustment by being in a neighborhood gang or just playing together than they can in the home environment alone. Association with peers is an important supplement to a child's associations in the home.

description: Polypropylene (PP) is the most widely used polymer film capacitor material, followed by polyester, due to its low dielectric loss and flexibility. The main disadvantage of polymer film capacitors is their low dielectric constant, which results in low capacitance. However, nonbiodegradable polymers have recently become a major electronic waste problem. This study aims to develop flexible nanocomposite films by combining a biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). Epoxidized castor oil (ECO) was also used as a compatibilizer to improve compatibility between the PLA matrix and the PBAT dispersion phase. The compatible PLA/PBAT blend’s elongation at break increased by up to 33%. To enhance the dielectric constant, transition metal cations, such as manganese, cobalt, copper, and nickel cations, were doped in a porous clay heterostructure (PCH). The biodegradable nanocomposite film’s dielectric constant increased by almost four times (at 1 kHz) because of our efforts. Based on these findings, PLA/PBAT blends with transition metal cation-doped PCH can be employed as biodegradable polymer film capacitor alternatives.

Radiation Shielding of Spacecrafts in Interplanetary Flights

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: During the interplanetary flights the crew members will be exposed to cosmic ray radiation, with great risk for their health. The absorbed dose due to CR depends on the galactic (GCR) or solar (SCR) origin. GCRs are isotropic, and relatively high in energy and deliver a dose nearly constant, with the time, that can be reduced only by means of "heavy" passive protections. The SCRs up to a few tens of MeV are usually shielded by the outer walls of the spacecraft, but during some exceptional solar bursts, a grat number of particles, mainly protons, are ejected at higher energies. In this case the dose given in a few hours by a solar burst can easily exceed 1 year cumulated dose by GCRs. The high energy component of SCRs is quai-directional so that a shielding system based on a superconductive magnetic lens can reduce the daily dose of SCRs to the only one delivered by GCRs.
Medium-modified evolution of multiparticle production in jets in heavy-ion collisions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The energy evolution of medium-modified average multiplicities and multiplicity fluctuations in quark and gluon jets produced in heavy-ion collisions is investigated from a toy QCD-inspired model. In this model, we use modified splitting functions accounting for medium-enhanced radiation of gluons by a fast parton which propagates through the quark gluon plasma. The leading contribution of the standard production of soft hadrons is found to be enhanced by the factor $\sqrt{N_s}$ while next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections are suppressed by $1/\sqrt{N_s}$, where the nuclear parameter $N_s>1$ accounts for the induced-soft gluons in the hot medium. The role of next-to-next-to-leading order corrections (NNLO) is studied and the large amount of medium-induced soft gluons is found to drastically affect the convergence of the perturbative series. Our results for such global observables are cross-checked and compared with their limits in the vacuum and a new method for solving the second multiplicity correlator evolution equations is proposed.

title: The Effects of Pregnancy on Behavioral Interdependence in Premarital Relationships
Creators: name: Wareham, Joan V.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: The purpose of this study was to compare couples who experienced a pregnancy early in their courtship, late in their courtship, or not pregnant at all on their development of behavioral interdependence across three levels of involvement; regularly dating , a couple, and committed to marriage, and into marriage. Data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview schedule which permitted couples to retrospectively graph their courtship from the first time they met until marriage. Partners divided their courtship into the three levels of involvement and then completed questionnaires which ascertained the activities they performed and with whom they performed them for each of the three levels of involvement and once for marriage. Analyses of variance were performed on properties derived from the graphs and the behavioral variables obtained from the activities questionnaires. Partners in the early pregnant group spent more time in the couple 1evel of involvement than in the regularly dating and committed 1evel s and partners in the late pregnant group spent more time in the committed level of involvement than the other levels. Partners in the early and late pregnancy groups performed fewer female activities alone than did the partners in the nonpregnant group; an indication that partners in the two pregnancy groups are less traditional than partners in the nonpregnant group. Partners in the early and late pregnancy groups also reported performing more affectionate activities early in their courtship than did the partners in the nonpregnant group, but the performance of affectionate activities by the early pregnant partners was lower than the late and nonpregnant pairs at marriage. Partners in the early pregnant group seemed to be more isolated in their performance of leisure activities. They performed proportionately fewer leisure activities with family members or friends only than did partners in the late and nonpregnant groups.

If the forward outgoing protons are measured, we show that the production and decay of BSM particles in the central rapidity interval, with gaps in rapidity either side, offers certain advantages over inclusive production, to search for signals (a) with missing longitudinal 4-momentum (typical of invisible Higgs production), and (b) for new light pseudoscalar bosons.

title: Mother-Infant, Father-Infant Relationships
Creators: name: Sobhani, Soheila
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: This study was designed to determine the contributions of mothers and fathers to infant social development. Nine 1 0-month-olds , 12 fourteen-month- olds, and 12 eighteen-month-olds were observed with their mothers and fathers in a laboratory situation. Parent-infant interactions were videotaped during three different episodes: Mother-infant dyad, father-infant dyad, and mother- father-infant triad. Findings revealed different interaction patterns as a result of the ages of infants and the interaction situation. Older infants and their parents engaged in more verbal behavior (responsive talk, social speech, and story reading) than younger infants and their parents. It was found that parents and infants interacted with each other more when observed in dyads than in triads. However , it is argued that situation may not be a significant factor, if the duration of interactions, is controlled for. There were no significant differences between mothers and fathers in the amount of interaction they engaged in with their infants . Likewise, there were few gender differences across age groups in parent-infant interaction. The data are discussed with respect to the importance of early interaction patterns and the need to control for interaction time when examining "second-order" effects.
Towards a positive local government policy for residential rehabilitation
Creators: name: Fitzpatrick, Gerald William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The objective of this study is to examine the hypothesis that to achieve the maximum potential of residential rehabilitation as an integral part of the urban renewal process, it is necessary to develop a positive local government policy for rehabilitation utilizing all the means at the municipality's disposal. Rehabilitation is understood in this study to involve the repair and/or improvement of dwellings within a designated renewal area, together with what public action is necessary to remove environmental deficiencies and provide adequate community facilities. As an introduction to the study, the evolution of the urban renewal process is traced in the United States, Britain and Canada with special reference being made to rehabilitation provisions. The subsequent background study, however, relates solely to North America. The nature of the urban renewal process is reviewed, and the generally accepted terms of 'redevelopment’, 'rehabilitation' and ‘conservation' are defined. The urban renewal process is also related to the overall planning function. An analysis is made of the rehabilitation proposals contained in most of the Canadian urban renewal studies completed to date. These proposals are evaluated and the current situation is presented by referring to the replies to questionnaires mailed to planning officials in cities with completed studies. Little progress has been made in Canada with rehabilitation as part of the urban renewal process, and 'rehabilitation' appears to have different meanings in different cities: some planning officials consider rehabilitation solely as a short-term solution in an area requiring ultimate redevelopment, while others consider rehabilitation to be a justifiable end in itself. The improvement of dwellings is evident in several cities, but no concerted effort has been made to guide and co-ordinate this private activity with plans for environmental improvement. Municipalities have also been reluctant to use their police powers related to housing when a shortage of alternative housing for dispossessed families exists, and inadequate financial assistance for home-owners limits the amount of rehabilitation possible. It is concluded that the realization of the full potential for private rehabilitation efforts cannot be achieved in Canada under existing financial arrangements, and unless legislative changes are initiated. In several cities the initiative for rehabilitation appears to rest completely with the home-owners and in these cases it is not surprising that little has been accomplished. It is considered imperative that local government must indeed formulate and publicize a positive policy for residential rehabilitation, indicating its own responsibility to provide public facilities and its determination to co-ordinate public and private efforts to achieve a more livable community and to reduce the need for the more drastic, costly and disruptive measures of clearance and redevelopment.

description: In this work we combine the large per-photon optical gradient force with the sensitive feedback of a high quality factor whispering-gallery microcavity. The cavity geometry, consisting of a pair of silica disks separated by a nanoscale gap, shows extremely strong dynamical backaction, powerful enough to excite giant coherent oscillations even under heavily damped conditions (mechanical Q=4). In vacuum, the threshold for regenerative mechanical oscillation is lowered to an optical input power of only 270-nanoWatts, or roughly 1000 stored cavity photons, and efficient cooling of the mechanical motion is obtained with a temperature compression factor of 13-dB for 4-microWatts of dropped optical input power.

title: Marital Satisfaction as it Related to Agreement on Money Matters and Money Management Competence Among Utah State University Married Students
Creators: name: Young, Carol S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between marital satisfaction, agreement on money matters, and money management competence among married couples at Utah State University . A sample of 43 student couples responded to a written questionnaire designed to measure the three variables. On all three variables measured, high scores indicated that both spouses rated themselves high on marital satisfaction, agreement on money matters, and money management competence. A positive relationships was found to exist between the four correlations, the strongest for both partners being marital satisfaction with agreement on money matters. The correlation, marital satisfaction with money management competence, though not as strong, was significant for both partners.
title: Factors Affecting the Amount of Leisure Time of Utah Adults

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: The amount of leisure time available to Utah adults and its relationship to the factors of sex, employment, age of children, place of residence, income, and education was investigated. A time diary was kept for two days recording the time use allocation of each respondent. Data were gathered from May 1977 to August 1978. The sample consisted of 210 men and 210 warner from Iron, Washington, and Salt Lake counties in Utah.
The adults reported an average of 4.6 hours of leisure time per day. Employment and educational level were related to the amount of leisure time reported by women. Leisure time reported by men was related to age of children and place of residence. Income and sex had no significant relationship to amount of leisure time.
title: Taxpayer Satisfaction With Public Urban Services in Salt Lake County

description: Although citizens do not generally consider themselves consumers of public services in the same Sense they consider themselves consumers in the retail marketplace, their demand for public services clearly affects what local government units provide. Citizens are involved daily with the consumption of public urban services; ye t most consumer education textbooks and teaching materials ignore tax supported services.
The purpose of this study was to measure the satisfaction of consumers with certain public urban services, public officials, and several units of government.
Satisfaction was found to be correlated with age, length of residence in the community and the respondents' attitudes toward elected officials. There was no apparent correlation between satisfaction with services and income, education, or assessed valuation of the respondents' dwellings. Satisfaction scores of the four geographic areas sampled were not significantly different.
Respondents did not generally feel they received their money's worth in public services for what they paid in property taxes. They were, however, generally satisfied with the services they received.
Respondents also seemed more likely to voice dissatisfaction to retail distributors than to government agencies.
title: A Comparison of Self-Evaluation in Home Management and Achievement Motivation of University Students in Home Management Residence Laboratory Course
Creators: name: Slaugh, Kathleen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1970

description: Self-evaluation in home management and its relationship to achievement motivation was investigated . The discrepancy between student self-evaluation and adviser evaluation was correlated with achievement motivation.
The sample consisted of 33 female students, residents of -the Home Management House during Spring Quarter of the 1968-69 school year and Fall and Winter Quarters of the 1969-70 school year.
The instruments used were: (1) a background questionnaire; (2) Management Resource Scale, and (3) Litwin Decision-Making Test. The statistical test used was the Pearson r (correlation coefficient).
No significant relationship was found between absolute discrepancy between student self-evaluation in home management, and adviser evaluation and achievement motivation. However, when directionality of evaluation-deviation scores was considered, a significant relationship was found at the .05 level. Subjects who received positive evaluation-deviation scores were lower in achievement motivation than were subjects who received negative evaluation-deviation scores.
title: Male Roles as Perceived by Children of Employed and Non-Employed Mothers
Creators: name: Williams Swapp, Mary Jane
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1970

description: This study was done to determine whether maternal employment affected the child's perception of male roles. The study was designed to see if the child viewed the male in a more negative or positive way or if he perceived the male as taking more instrumental or expressive roles when the child's mother was employed. The hypotheses predicted that there would be no difference in the children's perceptions of male roles between mother-employed and mother-not-employed groups, and that there would also be no difference between the sexes on children's perceptions of male roles .
The questionnaire was designed with some parts adapted from questionnaires used by Kagan and Lemkin (1960) and Aldous (1 967). The questionnaire made use of drawings of family members which the children pointed to in response to questions about adult roles and sex role perceptions.
The children were from Cedar City, Utah . Twenty were children of employed mothers , and 20 were children of non-employed mothers . There were ten girls and ten boys in the employed group and the same in the non-employed group.
The data did not permit rejection of the four null hypotheses. There was no significant difference found, with girls or with boys, on the frequency of negative and positive expression of attitudes on male role perception tests of children of employed and non-employed mothers . There was also no difference between the sexes on the frequency of instrumental and expressive responses between the employed and nonemployed groups.
Each question was tested by chi square to determine if the distribution was due to chance. On only one question was the probability of a chance distribution rejected. The question dealt with who was the nicest between the mother and the father. When boys' mothers were employed, they viewed the father as the nicest, whereas girls viewed the father as being the nicest when the mother was not employed. When the results were analyzed With all the girls in one group and all of the boys in a different group without regard to maternal employment, some interesting differences were found. The boys perceived the father in a significantly more positive way than did the girls. This was a T-score test which was significant at the .01 level. The boys also viewed the father as taking many more expressive roles than the girls. This was significant at the . 05 level. It was concluded that sex had a greater effect on the child's perceptions of male roles than did maternal employment. (98 pages)
The Two Faces of American Power: Military and Political Communication during the Cuban Missile Crisis

description: Purpose: The mismatches between political discourse and military momentum in the American handling of the Cuban missile crisis are explained by using the model of the potential autopoiesis of subsystems. Under wartime conditions, the codes of political and military communications can increasingly be differentiated. Design/methodology/approach: The model of a further differentiation between political and military power is developed on the basis of a detailed description of the Cuban missile crisis. We introduce the concept of a "semi-dormant autopoiesis" for the difference in the dynamics between peacetime and wartime conditions. Findings: Several dangerous incidents during the crisis can be explained by a sociocybernetic model focusing on communication and control, but not by using an organization-theoretical approach. The further differentiation of the military as a subsystem became possible in the course of the twentieth century because of ongoing learning processes about previous wars.
title: The Influence of Social Environment on Children's Perception of Policemen
Creators: name: Klingel, Sarah C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The purpose of this thesis was to examine children's perceptions of policemen as these are related to the social environment in which he lives; and to investigate the social class, sex, and racial influences upon their perceptions.
An oral picture test, consisting of 12 pictures, was administered to 39 fourth-grade children in two Ogden, Utah, public schools.
The findings of this study is that there is mixed support for the hypothesis that significant differences exist between middle- and lower-class children in their perceptions of policemen. Support was approached for the second hypothesis: there exist significant differences between males and females in their perception of policemen. However, because a borderline level of significance (.07) was determined, it is uncertain whether differences exist between the sexes in their perceptions of policemen. The third hypothesis--that there exist significant differences between Caucasian and non-Caucasian races in their perception of policemen--was not statistically supported.

description: In recent years, a rapidly growing literature has focussed on the construction of wavelet systems to analyze functions defined on the sphere. Our purpose in this paper is to generalize these constructions to situations where sections of line bundles, rather than ordinary scalar-valued functions, are considered. In particular, we propose {\em needlet-type spin wavelets} as an extension of the needlet approach recently introduced by Narcowich, Petrushev and Ward, and then considered for more general manifolds by Geller and Mayeli. We discuss localization properties in the real and harmonic domains, and investigate stochastic properties for the analysis of spin random fields. Our results are strongly motivated by cosmological applications, in particular in connection to the analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background polarization data.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine children's awareness of environmental pollution and the effect of environmental education on the awareness of preschool children.
Data for this study were collected by individually interviewing 20 preschool, 20 first grade and 20 third grade children. These 60 children were presented 15 colored slides and 9 words denoting various types of pollution and environmental symbols and slogans. The slides varied from litter on a beach, chimneys emitting black smoke, and polluted water to such environmental symbols as Smokey Bear, Johnny Horizon, and Woodsy Owl. In addition, the environmental symbols were also presented verbally, accompanied by such words as litter, pollution, and ecology. The children's responses were evaluated and used to indicate the effect of age and sex upon children's awareness, the relationship between children's responses to pictorial and verbal stimuli, and the effects of an environmental education program on the awareness of preschool children.
The findings of this study indicate that there are differences in awareness of environmental pollution between different ages of children, but not between males and females. As children become older, there is both an increasing awareness of environmental pollution and an increasing correlation between the recognition of visual and verbal stimuli. An environmental education unit was also found to influence the environmental awareness of preschool children. While the experimental group, which was involved in an environmental education unit showed significant increases in environmental awareness, the control group did not.

title: Influence of Social Class on Children's Perception of Teachers
Creators: name: McDonald, Kathleen Thomas
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: The purpose of this thesis was to examine children's perceptions toward teachers, as related to the child's social class background, and to investigate the influence of social class upon their perceptions.
A projective pictorial test, which consisted of nine pictures concerning teachers and children, was administered individually to forth fourth grade school children in two Ogden, Utah, public schools.
The findings of this study were that there are differences between middle and lower-class children in their perceptions toward teachers. Children of middle-class backgrounds showed more positive perceptions toward teachers, and lower-class children were found to have a more negative perception of teachers.
title: The Young Child's Concept of Human Conception and Birth

description: The views held by children about the ere at ion and birth of babies are of importance in child development and developmental psychology. However, most of the research done in this area has been of a theoretical nature rather than empirical. The research shows controversy in the child's concept of human conception and birth, and because of this controversy a study was deemed necessary to find out more of what the young child's concept is of human conception and birth.
The purpose of this study, therefore, was to attempt to determine the extent of children's awareness of the nature of human conception and birth. The objectives of this study were to investigate the nature of the child's understanding and awareness of human conception and birth, as well as to investigate the influence of such factors as the child's sex and age, and the social class of the family. The hypotheses were that young children would have a realistic awareness and understanding of human conception and birth and that there would be differences between children of different social class backgrounds, children of different sex groups, and children of different age groups in their understanding and awareness of human conception and birth. In order to test these hypotheses, a questionnaire consisting of eleven questions was devised to explore what concepts these young children have i n their awareness and understanding of human conception and birth.
The children studied were selected according to age and social class and consisted of sixty children: 20 kindergarten children, 20 nursery school children, and 20 Head Start children. Each of these groups was fairly equal in the number of boys and girls questioned. The questions were administered in the same order. A few of the quest ions were eliminated if the child could not answer a preceding one. The responses to questions were t hen recorded by the frequency of the response. Because of the nature of this study, no statistical data could be applied; rather, the three groups were compared according to their responses and the number given to each response.
The results of this study show that young children are realistically aware of human conception and birth but they do not have a full understanding of the total process. This study also reveals a great difference in the children's responses among the social classes studied, with the Head Start children being deviant from the other two groups in that they're much less well informed. Among the different age groups, the older group was better informed than were the younger children. A frequency test was done on the two sex groups, in relation to their response s, but no differences were found.
title: The Use of Story Reading as a Method of Improving Verbal Expression of Head Start Children

description: The purpose of this experimental study was to conduct and evaluate a teaching method for improving verbal expression performance of Head Start children. The teaching method of language stimulation given the experimental subjects was based on story reading and retelling with active participation by the children in daily small group tutoring sessions, for seven weeks. An academic program given the control subjects included specific vocabulary and sequencing training. Verbal expression was measured by an analysis of stories told by each subject before and after tutoring, in response to sequence pictures and standup figures. Measures of vocabulary, sentence structure and evidence of sequence were used in the analysis. The experimental language tutored group gained significantly from pre- to posttest in 11 Of 20 verbal expression criteria. Although a comparison of group means showed the experimental group's performance to have exceeded that of the control group in 15 criteria, only one vocabulary score was significantly greater for the experimental subjects. It was concluded that verbal expression skills can be accelerated through training. The teaching method based on story reading was recommended for use by Odgen Head Start teachers as one method of improving verbal expression.

CP VIOLATION AT DAFNE, THE FRASCATI F FACTORY
Creators: name: A. CALCATERRA

Year: 1991

description: The e^+e^- collider DAPHNE, expected to begin commissioning in Frascati by the late 1995, is a two-ring machine optimized to run with maximum luminosity at the peak of the ϕ meson, corresponding to a total energy of 1020 MeV/C in the center of mass. This choise for the total energy is motivated by the most important (although by no means the only important) issue in the DAPHNE physics program: the study of the pattern and entity of CP violation in the decay of the ϕ to a final KK ̅pair: the ϕ meson is a pure laboratory for the production of coherent KK ̅states, which makes possible to perform a variety of tests and measurements which have no counterpart for the 'normal' K-or-K ̅production at hadron machines. The whole DAPHNE project poses a number of very hard problems to almost every component of a high-energy physics experiment: from the machine, designed to deliver a luminosity L ∼ 10^32cm^-2 s^-1 shortly after turn-on, to the detector which will have to be able, for the first time in the history of e^+e^- apparata, to reconstruct with high accuracy the decays of long-lived particles like the K+- and K^0, to the data acquisition system which will be confronted with a 'physics' trigger rate of ∼ 10 KHz. In what follows, I will very skechily describe the machine, already illustrated in much detail in the nice contribution of S. Guiducci to these Proceedings, and will concentrate on the list of physics topics to be addressed, and on the demands imposed to the detector by the characteristics of the events and by the smallness of the effects to be measured.
