A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MEDIA REPRESENTATION OF US COLLEGE ATHLETIC SCANDALS IN TRADITIONAL NEWS MEDIA AND MEDIATED COMMUNICATION WITHIN THE COLLEGE
… and mass media communication about the Penn State Child Sexual Abuse Scandal of 2011. The author examines the different ways in which Pennsylvania State University administrators and officials communicated the scandal internally to their community (campus community and surrounding city …

Treatment of anxiety using manualized protocol: a case study
… the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire were used as outcome measures. The results of treatment were inconclusive. Some measures show a slight reduction of symptoms and others show no change. The therapist's experience with and resulting perspective on …

Cardiovascular Reactivity to and Recovery from Laboratory Tasks in Low and High Worry Women
… disease. Trait worry was examined through the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). Blood pressure recordings and cardiac recordings through ECG and ICG were done in each experiment during seven epochs: an anticipatory baseline with three baselines preceding and three recovery periods …

Impact of affective traits on response interference: modulations by trait negative affect, anxious arousal, and anxious apprehension
Research suggests that elevated state negative affect (NA) reduces attentional scope and increases interference by distracting information. However, it is unclear whether and how trait NA contributes to this effect. 153 undergraduates completed the MASQ Anhedonic Depression 8-item scale to measure …

Cardiovascular Activity During Laboratory Tasks in Individuals with High and Low Worry
… to form low and high worry groups by use of the Penn State Worry Questionnaire. Four common laboratory tasks and two conditions designed to elicit worry and relaxation were used: hand cold pressor, mental arithmetic, orthostatic position, supine position, worry imagery, and relaxation imagery. …

Influences of Personal Standards and Perceived Parental Expectations on Worry for Asian American and White American College Students
… levels of pathological worry as measured by the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, but Asian Americans report higher frequency of worry across multiple domains as measured by the Worry Domains Questionnaire. Perceptions of living up to parental expectations of current academic performance and …

An observational and modeling study of a heavy orographic precipitation event over the Oregon Cascades
… precipitation forecasting. The Fifth Generation Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) version 3.5 was run at various resolutions to simulate the 13--14 December 2001 system and verified against the vast observational dataset. The MM5's depiction of the synoptic features of the storm system was …

COMPARING VARIOUS FIBER SOURCES THROUGH MEASURING RUMINATION IN FINISHING BEEF CATTLE
… physically effective NDF (epeNDF) using the Penn State Particle Separator. Actual physically effective NDF (apeNDF) was calculated based on rumination time. Neither initial nor final body weight (FBW) differed among treatments (P > 0.52); however, gain to feed (G:F) tended to differ (P = …

Effects of Replacing Forage Fiber with non-Forage Fiber in Lactating Dairy Cow Diets
… basis, passing through the 1.18 mm sieve of the Penn State Particle separator. Dry matter intake increased with increasing concentrations of DDG in the diet. Total NDF and non-forage NDF in the diets were increased while forage NDF was decreased significantly as DDG replaced corn silage in the …

Studies of generalized worry in college students
… measures such as the abbreviated version of the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ-A), which assesses the severity of generalized worry and may be used to indicate the likelihood of anxiety pathology. Chronic worriers often experience free-floating anxiety due, in part, to the paradoxical …

The Role of Upstream Lakes in Determining Downstream Severe Lake -Effect Snowstorms
… December 1993 was successfully modeled using the Penn State/NCAR MM5 model at 7 km grid resolution. Another simulation performed with Lake Michigan removed from the domain resulted in a two-thirds reduction in snowfall maxima, reduced vertical ascent (50% smaller maxima), and cloud depth (50--100 …

Grazing impacts on sediment production and runoff from single and mixed species grazing
… optimum P content for established mixed grasses (Penn State, 2012). Overall, the single species grazing exhibited higher P than in the mixed species treatment. Potassium followed the same trend in that the overall K content for the study area was 320.8 +/- 158.6 mg/kg; which is on the higher end …

Flash Flooding in Eastern Kentucky: An Analysis of the 3-4 August 2001 Event
… exists concerning flash flooding in the United States. However, flash floods can occur anywhere and cause more fatalities than any other weather related natural disaster. Eastern Kentucky experienced an average of 41 flash floods per year (1993-2002), yet little research exists for this region. …

Utilizing near-infrared technology to assess changes in corn silage dry matter and the effects of feeding a starling resistant supplement to dairy cattle
… analyzed for particle size distribution with a Penn State Particle Separator. The pelleted supplement had a higher (P<0.05) percentage of DM retained on the 8.0-19.0mm sieve than the mash supplement as the pellet diameter was >8.0mm and could not pass through that sieve. There was no effect of …
