Achivement Motivation Profiles of 2010 Academic Year Graduates from Newberry College
… population of 2010 Academic Year graduates from Newberry College were asked to complete the Achievement Motivation Profile. Comparison between achievement motivation profiles and ACT/SAT and GPA scores to determine which variable is a significant predictor of group membership showed no …

Newberry Award Books of 1950-1959 and 1970-1979; Do They Reflect the Characteristics, Attitudes, and Problems of Families of these Periods?
<p>The purpose of this study was to determine whether Newbery Award books of 1950-59 and those of 1970-79 reflect the characteristics, attitudes, and problems of families of these periods.</p> <p>Through a detailed analysis of each book, a compilation of data, and a comparison to actual, …

The relationship between organizational culture and the implementation of response to intervention in one elementary school
… culture is preserved. The school culture at Newberry is one of collaboration and teamwork; the irrelationships and shared values led to the successful implementation of RTI. Schools are a microcosm of the community. While schools share numerous elements, each school culture is unique. To …

Uranium-series isotope constraints on magma generation and differentiation in the central Oregon Cascades
… of hydrous basalt. Crustal interaction at Newberry, in contrast, is dominated by assimilation of a felsic upper crustal component, similar in composition to obsidians erupted within the central caldera. Magma differentiation in the Three Sisters region leads to both decreases and increases …

Fault Behavior and Kinematic Evolution of the Eastern California Shear Zone
… over the past 60 ka. Faster rates reported from Newberry Springs suggest either a significant increase in slip rate from the Rodman Mountains to Newberry Springs or temporal variations in slip rate. 3) The new rates support previous work which showed the central section of the Calico fault has …

Diverse Primitive Basalts from an Extensional Back-arc Setting: Fort Rock Volcanic Field, Oregon
… and High Cascades, High Lava Plains (HLPs), Newberry, and extension from the Basin & Range continental rift zone. Hydrovolcanic eruptions created tuff rings/cones and maars, while conventional eruptions created cinder cones, and lava fields in the FRVF area. These landforms contain a diverse …

Testing the hypothesis of the slab-plume interaction on the formation of the Yellowstone hotspot system
… basalt (CRFB) and subsequent Yellowstone and Newberry hotspot tracks. We find that the sinking slabs dominate the buoyancy and dynamics of the system, and that evolution of the mantle upwelling is subject to that of the slabs. Our best-fit model with a hot upwelling starting at 35 Ma below the …

Experimental studies of magmatic differentiation and the effects of water on phase stability
… tuffs deposited during the ~75 kyr eruption of Newberry Volcano, Oregon. Experiments at different pressures and water contents show that the magma differentiated in the shallow crust in the presence of 1-2 wt.% water. These conditions produce characteristic magma compositions that are also …

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Valerie D. Newberry, for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Workforce Education and Development, presented on June 2, 2009, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: EFFECTIVENESS OF A CLINICAL QUESTIONING ACTIVITY IN DEVELOPING CARDIAC SONOGRAPHY STUDENT …

The changing face of Joan of Arc: the appropriation of Joan of Arc in twentieth-century American theatre
The Changing Face of Joan of Arc: The Appropriation of Joan of Arc in Twentieth-century American Theatre shows that the evolution of Joan of Arc's image reflected the culture of each era, and illustrated the changing social roles for women. The dramatic treatments of Joan of Arc have been divided …

Null Models For Cultural And Social Evolution
Analogies between biological and cultural evolution date back to Darwin, yet the analogies have remained loose. Neutral evolution, known to be important in biology, has been proposed as a null model for cultural change, but has not developed into tests for selection on cultural features. Using …

Paraxial approximations for ultrasonic beam propagation in liquid and solid media with applications to nondestructive evaluation
<p>Quantitative models can play an important role in the development and validation of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation procedures. Successful prediction of inspection results can greatly reduce the time and monetary expense incurred by a completely experimental approach. One type of model, …

Molecular distributions and hydrogen isotopic compositions of n-alkanes from field studies of tree species: applications for paleoclimate studies
The compound-specific δD values and molecular distributions of n-alkanes preserved in sediment archives are used as paleoclimate proxies. This use is based on two assumptions, 1) n-alkane δD values are highly correlated with source water δD values (Sachse 2012), and 2) the δD values of n-alkanes …

Wallace Stegner's Wolf Willow and 1960s Critical Essays: Renarrativizing Western American Literature for the West and for America
As writer, essayist, environmentalist, and westerner, Wallace Earle Stegner (1909-1993) confronted what he understood to be an imagined and literal American West constructed by myths of frontier conquest, pioneer settlement in and transformation of the western landscape, and cowboy exceptionalism …

Understanding late Cenozoic western United States mantle dynamics and surface tectonics using forward-adjoint data assimilation models
… Columbia River flood basalt, the Yellowstone and Newberry hotspot tracks, diffusive basaltic volcanisms in the Basin and Range, and the circum-Colorado Plateau volcanism can all be explained by the landward intrusion of the hot Pacific asthenosphere since the mid-Miocene. The hot mantle initially …

Giving and Thanksgiving: Gratitude and Adiaphora in A Mask and Paradise Regained
John Milton begins his Second Defence of the English People by stressing the universal importance of gratitude: "In the whole life and estate of man the first duty is to be grateful to God." Peter Medine has shown the prominence of gratitude in Paradise Lost, but scholars have not fully appreciated …

The Effects of Partner Implementation Intentions on Fruit and Vegetable Eating
Rates of obesity and lifestyle related diseases have increased in the last decade, adding strain to the health care system. While research mounts for the protective benefit of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, the majority of Americans do not consume the recommended amounts. Successful …

Temporal Lobe Transients and Prayer
<p>Persinger (1983) theorized that religious experiences involve the production of brief, micro-seizures that originate in the limbic system and affect the temporal lobes of the brain. According to this theory, ritual behavior could be used by individuals to induce micro-seizure activity. The …

Methods for modeling whole stem diameter growth and taper
Stem profile models which allow for both taper and form changes (Gray 1956) were constructed and evaluated. Gray defined form to be the basic shape of the tree, e.g. cone or parabolid, and taper to be the rate of narrowing in diameter given a tree form. Ormerod's stem profile model was selected as …
