It has been reported that very little time is spent in the classroom on environmental education subjects unless the teacher has a special interest in the specific topic of study. This lack of time for environmental education coupled with the lack of adequate time allotted for mathematics and science instruction suggests that integrating the three--mathematics, science, and environmental education--into one learning activity can be a productive use of educational time at any grade level. This...

Considerations in conducting attitude surveys concerning bilingual education are discussed. An introductory section examines briefly the history of the controversy over bilingual education, legislative initiatives, and some previous opinion research. Specific kinds of information needs relating to public opinion are then noted and problems arising in such research are described. Two central issues examined are: (1) the need for comparable data that reflects opinions of local subpopulations as...

The US Army Corps of Engineers disaster response can be classified into three phases: (1) Initial (2) Sustained, and (3) Recovery. The Initial phase is described as the Corps' response in the first 72 hours after the disaster. The Sustained phase may continue for days to weeks depending upon the severity and location of the disaster. The Recovery and final effort continues until the completion of the task. The technical urban search effort for survivors by the Corps of Engineers is categorized...

We have demonstrated the first three dimensional integration of a high quality compound semiconductor infrared imaging detector array directly on top of a foundry-produced silicon neuromorphic image processing circuit. There is great potential for this new technology in neuromorphic image processing applications. This new ability to construct complex locally connected neuromorphic focal-plane processors with direct massively parallel connections to high quality compound semiconductor imaging...

In situ fluorometers are evaluated in their estimation Of chlorophyll a. Calibrations from at-sea and laboratory data showed linear relationships between fluorescence and chlorophyll a as measured by in situ fluorometers with r 2 0.9. Examination of regression residuals showed an increasing error variance with the magnitude of chlorophyll on two of four cruises. The most likely source of this increasing error variance was in one case, a photoadaptation effect and in the other a population shift...

This paper analyzes and evaluates federal assistance to Indians on or near reservations and recommends public policies to promote self-determination through economic development. Most Indian tribes rely on federal funds for basic necessities and services. At current funding levels, reservation residents lead lives of deprivation or opt for outmigration to achieve personal self-sufficiency. The goal of federal policy should be to raise the standard of living on reservations by expanding...

Biases enable systems to make decisions in realms where all legitimate sources of knowledge have been exhausted. This article investigates the application of biases to the problem of planning, and how this can indirectly induce effective biases in a learning process that is based on planner's experiences. Experimental results from six biased planners, plus several more complex multimethod planners, indicate complex tradeoffs among planner completeness, planning efficiency, and length. Learning...

The last decade has produced enormous improvements in processor speed without a corresponding improvement in bus or interconnection network speeds. As a result, the relative costs of communication and computation in shared-memory multiprocessors have changed dramatically, and many parallel applications do not execute efficiently on today's multiprocessors. In this dissertation we quantify the effect of this trend-in architecture on parallel program performance, explain the implications of this...

The method currently used throughout the aircraft transparency industry to measure haze is ASTM Test Method D1003. This procedure was originally developed for applications involving small, thin, and flat transparent parts. Major limitations of Test Method D1003 include its restriction to small, flat samples and its requirement for having the source and detector on opposite sides of the sample under test. In order to facilitate field testing of installed aircraft windscreens, a test method was...

It can provide information about setting the eddy-brake, main valve activation pressures, initial fill pressures, test gas properties as well as predicting performance. It is important to remember that the facility model is just a model, the numbers it produces are approximate. Some time has been spent with the model trying to make the predicted main valve performance reflect its actual motion more accurately. In the future,...

Nickel-Hydrogen (Ni/H2) secondary batteries will be implemented as a power source for the Space Station Freedom as well as for other NASA missions. Consequently, characterization tests of Ni/H2 cells from Eagle-Picher, Whittaker-Yardney, and Hughes were completed at the NASA Lewis Research Center. Watt-hour efficiencies of each Ni/H2 cell were measured for regulated charge and discharge cycles as a function of temperature, charge rate, discharge rate, and state of charge. Temperatures ranged...

The objective of this paper is to perform grid adaptation using composite over-lapping meshes in regions of large gradient to capture the salient features accurately during computation. The Chimera grid scheme, a multiple overset mesh technique, is used in combination with a Navier-Stokes solver. The numerical solution is first converged to a steady state based on an initial coarse mesh. Solution-adaptive enhancement is then performed by using a secondary fine grid system which oversets on top...

An important goal of fatigue research is the prediction of fatigue crack propagation rate under service loading conditions. Intermittent high peak tensile loads can cause crack retardation in subsequent load cycles. The mechanisms responsible for crack retardation must be characterized in each alloy or class of alloys so that appropriate predictive models can be developed and utilized. The objective of this investigation was to identify the mechanisms responsible for crack retardation in PM...

Extrapolations of numerical data obtained from finite cluster calculations to the infinite volume limit can often give incorrect results. We discuss four separate cases: (a) the intensity of the lowest two-photon absorption in the infinite polyene, (b) bond alternation in the infinite polyene; (c) Cooper type pairing in the simple Hubbard model, and (d) pairing within the extended Hubbard model.
