A new aromatic diamine, bis(4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl) sulfone (BAPS- 4,3) was prepared by hydrolysis of the precursor, bis(4-(3-acetamidophenoxy) phenyl) sulfone, whereas attempts to prepare the nitro-precursor of BAPS-4,3 from the chlorophenyl sulfone and sodium nitrophenoxide were unsuccessful. 4- Aminophthalonitrile was prepared in high purity by the catalytic reduction of 4- nitrophthalonitrile. A number of epoxide-terminated oligomeric aromatic polyimides (BTEP) series) were synthesized by...

The problem P of maximizing the expected discounted reward earned in a continuous time Markov decision process with countable state and finite action space is considered. (The reward rate is merely bounded by a polynomial). By examining a sequence P sub N of approximating problems, each of which is a semi-Markov decision process with exponential transition rate Lambda sub N, Lambda sub N nears infinity, the author is able to show that P is obtained as the limit of the P sub N. The value in...

An upper bound is established for the magnitude of the truncation error incurred when a real-valued, finite energy signal which is band-limited to -pi(r) or = omega or = pi(r) (o r1) is approximated by 2N+1 terms from its Shannon sampling series expansion. The sampling expansion is associated with the band (-pi, pi), and consequently involves samples taken at the integer points. The bound is of the form K(r,t)/N (Square root of E) where E is the signal energy. This bound is of the same...

When analysis of variance is used, statistically significant differences may or may not be of practical significance to educators. A large part of the problem is due to the fact that a "zero difference" null hypothesis can always be rejected statistically if the sample size is large enough. If, however, a method based on the noncentral F distribution is used, trivial differences cannot attain statistical significance. The (non-zero) null hypothesis is now rejected at the alpha level...

Current and projected manpower shortages within the field of mental health suggest a greater role for paraprofessionals. But, without careful evaluation and precise training, added manpower will not solve any of the problems facing psychology in overcoming the limits to the delivery of services. These two papers review several attempts to evaluate the effects of an existing paraprofessional training package on several specific behaviors of the volunteers. The initial training procedure was used...

To the question of whether Chomsky's hypothesized Language Acquisition Device (LAD) in young children is an adequate and feasible model of language acquisition, this paper answers that LAD should be reformulated so as to include semantics; that "informant presentation" rather than "text presentation" is responsible for language acquisition; and that nonlinguistic knowledge may be crucial in syntax acquisition. The first argument is supported by experiments which show that...

Educational researchers have neglected the need to involve public interest and support of educational research. Researchers must begin to deal with the real problems of education if they are to receive public support. This responsibility would include need assessment, information search, model building, research based on theory, and evaluation of these real problems. This activity should take place on all levels, from the local to the national. (Author/SM)

The development of Arctic Canada's resources has historically been guided by two contrasting administrative approaches: one favoring the free play of profit motives in a laissez-faire market economy and the other the coordination of development through formalized government planning. In both approaches, Eurocanadians are the dominant figures, while Eskimos are depressed and subservient. Against this background, a third approach to development is emerging--the Arctic cooperative movement. This...
