The students sat quietly, lost in their own thoughts, as the last words of The Barn (Avi, 1994) reverberated through the classroom. Gloria had chosen to read aloud this short chapter book to her intermediate multiage students because of their interest in immigration and the topic "Having a Better Life." Their intent faces showed that this story of three children who build their dying father a b...

It is appropriate that this lecture is being given in Cambridge because Marjory Stephenson spent most of her life here and indeed was born only ten miles away in Bunvell. However, she taught for a while in London at Unix ersity College and King’s College of Household Science. Her connection with the latter College is of particular interest to me because King’s College of Household Science event...

became irregular and painful, fiually stopping, two years after the last delivery. About a year and a half after the cessation of the menses, she perceived a tenderness in her left side, and, oil pressure with her hand, could distinguish a hai'4 lump like a cocoanut. At this time she remarked that her micturition became scanty, frequent, 1 and painful. She also suffered every now ana then from ...

Multiple colors visible to the naked eye across internal surfaces of stainless-steel 304 tubes polished with a magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) process were investigated at varying levels magnification. The found result from microscopic colored features four different hues — green, blue, red, and yellow having irregular sizes shapes. Spectral analysis their dispersion indicates that these appe...

In their groundbreaking essay ”Emotional Intelligence” (1990), Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer define their new concept “as the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions.” (Salovey and Mayer 1990, italics in the original). The theory of...

RNs in the community are to ensure that older adults receive good care quality in nursing home. This study used a descriptive design with a qualitative content analysis. The analysis of ...

Simultaneous reaching movements made with the two hands can show a considerable increase in reaction time (RT) when they differ in terms of direction or extent, compared to when the movements involve the same direction and extent. This cost has been attributed to cross-talk in the specification of the motor parameters for the two hands. However, a recent study [Diedrichsen, Hazeltine, Kennerley...

National identity is symbolically complex configuration, with shifts of emphasis and reprioritisations of content negotiated in contexts of power. This paper shows how they occur in one post conflict situation – Northern Ireland – among some of the most extreme of national actors – evangelical Protestants. In-depth interviews reveal quite radical shifts in the content of their British identity ...

Abstract Calculating the mean exit time (MET) for models of diffusion is a classical problem in statistical physics, with various applications biophysics, economics and heat mass transfer. While many exact results MET are known simple geometries involving homogeneous materials, calculating realistic heterogeneous materials typically limited to repeated stochastic simulations or numerical soluti...

P HYLOANALYSIS, of which the late Dr. Trigant Burrow was the leading exponent, is a body of psychological theory dealing with the internal universe of behavior, the basic reactions that motivate men’s feelings, thoughts, and actions. Burrow held that it was humanity’s acquisition of language as a tool which caused men to deviate from the biological norm and led them into their present pathologi...
