The current displaced worker initiative towers over the 30-year effort to bring the economically disadvantaged into the mainstream of the labor market. The Congressional Budget Office defines displacement as all workers 18 years of age and older who lose full-time employment due to slack work, job abolition, or plant closure. Major displaced worker programs include the following: unemployment insurance, Trade Adjustment Act, Redwoods Employee Protection Program, Job Training Partnership Act...

This paper reviews research relevant to the adjustment of adults with learning disabilities (LD) in the areas of academic, occupation/vocational, social, and personal/emotional functioning. After an introduction, methodological concerns are raised in the areas of sampling, definitions, experimental designs, and instrumentation. The review concludes that LD adults have increased difficulties in all areas of functioning. However, the literature also indicates that, with accommodation,...

A content analysis of the "Directory of Library & Information Professionals" was performed to obtain information on people holding the Master of Library Science degree. Two thousand samples were taken and classified by gender, state where employed, job category (public service, technical service, collection management, information science, education, and administration), and whether holding a second Master's or Ph.D. It was found that 69.7% of the library professionals listed held...

One response to the shrinking budgets and increased demand for services that have become a way of life in higher education is the creation of partnerships with public and private agencies to share resources and costs. There is virtually an unlimited number of possible partnership arrangements.

Previous research has suggested that many elementary school teachers have a firmer understanding of addition and subtraction concepts than they have of more complex topics in elementary mathematics, such as division. In this study, (n=24) prospective elementary teachers' understanding of aspects of division involving remainders was explored by examining the problems they posed. The teachers' responses revealed a clear preference for posing problems associated with real world contexts,...

Newly appointed principals are usually confronted with the complexity of their new role, which some researchers believe is complicated by the recognition of their role distance from teachers. This paper examines the nature of the passage from the teacher role to the principal role. It pursues Marshall's (1991) micropolitical hypothesis, which explains principals' denial of the chasm existing between themselves and teachers as the presentation of politically correct rhetoric. Interviews were...

We cut serial sections through the medial part of the rat vestibular macula for Transmission Electron Microscopic (TEM) examination, computer-assisted three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction, and compartmental modeling. The ultrastructural research showed that many primary vestibular neurons have an unmyelinated segment, often branched, that extends between the heminode, putative site of the Spike Initiation Zone ( SIZ ), and the expanded terminal(s) (calyx, calyces). These segments, termed the...

Five different methods of drift determination and four different methods of rate determination were compared using months of hourly phase and frequency data from a sample of cesium clocks and active hydrogen masers. Linear least squares on frequency is selected as the optimal method of determining both drift and rate, more on the basis of parameter parsimony and confidence measures than on random and systematic errors.

The procedure of microwave imaging by maximum entropy method is discussed. First, the relationship between the induced current on the metal object surface and the scattered field is introduced. Our imaging concept is to reconstruct the induced current on the object surface from the measured scattered field. The object configuration will be provided by the induced current which is zero everywhere except on the object surface. Future work is also included with focus on the application of...

We extend Reiter's general theory of model-based diagnosis to a theory of fault detection, identification, and reconfiguration (FDIR). The generality of Reiter's theory readily supports an extension in which the problem of reconfiguration is viewed as a close analog of the problem of diagnosis. Using a reconfiguration predicate 'rcfg' analogous to the abnormality predicate 'ab,' we derive a strategy for reconfiguration by transforming the corresponding strategy for diagnosis. There are two...

A variant of a Franson's two-photon correlation experiment is discussed, in which the linear polarization state of one of the photons depends on the path followed in the interferometer. It is shown that although the path difference is greater than the coherence length, the photon can be found in a polarization state represented by the superposition of the polarization states associated to the paths when there is coincident detection. Since the photons, produced via parametric down-conversion,...

It is found that two-mode output quantum electromagnetic field in two-mode squeezed states exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. And the generalized uncertainty relations are also presented for the first time. The concept of higher-order squeezing of the single-mode quantum electromagnetic field was first introduced and applied to several processes by Hong and Mandel in 1985. Lately Li Xizeng and Shan Ying have calculated the higher-order squeezing in the process of degenerate...

The possibility of squeezed states generation for macroscopic mechanical oscillator is discussed. It is shown that one can obtain mechanical oscillator in squeezed state via coupling it to electromagnetic oscillator (Fabry-Perot resonator) and pumping this Fabry-Perot resonator with a field in squeezed state. The degradation of squeezing due to mechanical and optical losses is also analyzed.

Eastern Washington University (EWU) designed a plan to resist faculty salary compression. Salary compression occurs when cost of living increases fail to keep pace with salaries in the external market thus, when new faculty are hired at or near market rates, they will often have salaries higher than senior faculty with equivalent academic preparation. Beginning in the early 1980s faculty and administration at EWU had attempted to address salary compression for about 10 years with no success and...
