Title: Magnetic and Transport Properties of Electrochemically Oxidized Polyacetylene.
Creator: Reynolds, John, Schlenoff, Joseph B., Chien, James C. W.
Abstract/Description: The magnetic and transport properties of polyacetylene electrochemically oxidized in the presence of perchlorate ion have been determined. Room temperature dc conductivity is unaffected by doping between 10 -6
Show moreThe magnetic and transport properties of polyacetylene electrochemically oxidized in the presence of perchlorate ion have been determined. Room temperature dc conductivity is unaffected by doping between 10 -6 < y -< 10 -3~. A rapid conductivity increase occurs with increasing dopant level having a midpoint of transition at ca. y - 8 x 10-3 By comparison, the change in thermopower vs. y is sharper taking place within a tenfold increase in y with a midpoint at ca. y - 3 x 10 -3. The unparied spin concentrations remain constant as dopant concentration increases before the onset of a Dysonian lineshape at ca. y -= 10 -2. The results are interpreted as the melting of a glassy carrier state causing the sharp change of transport properties. A phase separation into metallic domains occurs at y = ca. 10 -~. Side reactions involving the electrolyte complicate the electrochemistry of po]yacetylene.

Software-based and institutionally-based factors influencing system use were explored. The former included theoretical bases, ease of software usage, and developer's implementation assistance, while the latter included staff competence, organizational dynamics, financial resources, clientele, implementation plan, and system integration with other activities and facilities. The sample included 408 respondents (60.3%) to those surveyed. Multivariate log-linear models were used to analyze data with fiver areas of systems use, and univariate analyses were used in two other areas. Results suggested that institutionally-based factors, not software-based factors, were largely determining how DISCOVER and SIGI were used. However, it was noted that software-by researchers, developers, and practitioners in order to maximize the impact of computer-assisted career guidance systems. The report includes 10 tables and one appendix.

The Clearinghouse was established to provide current and readily accessible information relevant to selecting, implementing, and evaluating computer-assisted career guidance systems. The contents of this report consist primarily of a complete descriptive listing of the features and costs of DISCOVER AL and SIGI PLUS. The information presented in this paper was gathered from the manuals provided by the respective firms, American College Testing Program (DISCOVER AL) and Educational Testing Service (SIGI PLUS), interviews with ACT and ETS staff members, as well as the collective experiences of the authors as they themselves and their clients interacted with the systems. The criteria used in this analysis are based on the work of Harris-Bowlsbey (1983), Katz and Shatkin (1983), Maze (1984), Maze and Cummings (1982) and Riesenberg (1983). A draft of this report was sent to developers of the two systems, and their comments were used by the authors in preparing this final document.

Show moreCognitive structuring was implemented by showing 30 subjects a 10-minute videotape that presented Holland's (1985) model of the world of work before they used an interactive computer assisted guidance system (DISCOVER). The effect of prior structuring was assessed in terms of a subject's representation of the world of work, occupational certainty and vocational identity. The subjects were volunteer clients who came to a university career resource center for vocational counseling. Two treatment groups and a control group were used: pretest, cognitive structuring, and DISCOVER; pretest and DISCOVER; and DISCOVER only. The results indicated that subjects who assimilated the Holland model prior to using DISCOVER were more homogeneous in sorting 36 randomly selected occupations into related clusters, and were more homogeneous in the number of occupational alternatives they listed on a posttest. Subjects who used DISCOVER without cognitive structuring became significantly more assured of their vocational identity (i.e., goals, interests, personality), while the cognitive structuring group did not become so assured. Occupational certainty was unaffected by any treatment. The cognitive structuring experience prior to subject's use of DISCOVER encouraged them to add occupations to consider when they had a few alternatives and to eliminate occupations to consider when they had many.

Reversible charging in neutral aqueous solution is limited by the poor separation between the reversible and irreversible oxidations. Comparison of ultrathin and free-standing 100 ~m thick films showed they have the same maximum reversible doping level and thus energy density of 280 Wh/kg. Pristine, isomerized, deuterated, and hydrogenated [CH].,. show similar electrochemistry. Both n and p-type chemical doping caused isomerization of cis-[CHL to trans-[CH]~.

Show moreThe Computer-Assisted Career Guidance Evaluation Form, was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of CACG systems in performing three vital functions in career decision-making. This instrument was subsequently used to compare the effectiveness of DISCOVER, SIGI, and SIGI PLUS using 132 subjects from two cohort groups of students in an introductory psychology course. After finishing their assigned system, subjects completed the Computer-Assisted Career Guidance Evaluation Form, My Vocational Situation (MVS) by Holland, Daiger, & Power (1980a), and the Occupational Alternatives Question (OAQ) (Zener & Schunelle, 1972). Results of the analysis of the data showed that all three CACG systems were rated positively. However, subjects who expressed a need for career information rated all three CACG systems significantly more effective (p < .001) in developing and evaluating career options than those subjects who perceived no need for information. Further, Subjects who were "undecided" about their career direction found SIGI PLUS significantly more helpful for obtaining self knowledge and occupational knowledge (p < .05), and more rewarding and enjoyable (p < .03). The results suggested that perceived effectiveness of CACG systems may be related to the state of client career decidedness (OAQ) and their need for career information (MVS).

Show moreThe decision to seek career counseling services as an adult arises from a complex interaction of past experiences, current career development, and expectations for assistance. This study explored how these multiple motivations impact the service delivery of computer-assisted career guidance systems. The subjects were selected from adults who had sought services from a university-based career center and who were voluntarily participating in a research project designed to collect data on this population. The subjects selected for this qualitative component of the study were chosen on the basis of the following factors: sex, age, head-of-household, anticipation of career change, interest in exploring career options, willingness to use a computer-assisted career counselor, and willingness to complete a contract for service provision. The study was intended as a process of exploration and discovery. As such, open-ended interviews were conducted prior to, during, and after each subject's computer experience. It was found that the adult subjects participating in this qualitative study differed in terms of the complexity and time frame for their career decision making in comparison to "typical" adolescents and young adults who receive services from university-based career centers. The subjects had expectations that they receive professional assistance that would help in: 1) structuring the career decision making process; 2) clarifying self-knowledge; and 3) gaining access to career information resources. The extent to which this expectation was met varied with each subject. Implications for the practice and for future research have been presented to stimulate further exploration in this area of career guidance for adults.

Show moreA study was conducted to examine the comparative impact of two generations of a computer-assisted career guidance system, SIGI and SIGI PLUS, on the career decidedness, vocational identity, and user perceptions of 64 college students. Students from an introductory psychology class who expressed interest in an experiment that involved receiving career guidance services were randomly assigned to either SIGI or SIGI PLUS. The Occupational Alternatives Question, and My Vocational Situation were completed pre- and post-treatment while the SIGI or SIGI PLUS Evaluation Form (a measure of user perceptions) was completed post-treatment. After the completion of initial post-testing, students then used the second system and completed the Comparative Computer Rating Form which involved a direct bipolar comparison of the two systems. A series of multivariate and univariate statistical analyses revealed that users rated SIGI and SIGI PLUS equally positive for their effectiveness in obtaining self and occupational information (Analysis), viable career options (Synthesis), and in attractiveness of interaction with the computer (Synthesis), and in attractiveness of interaction with the computer (Computer Effect). Persons with initial information needs rated both CACG systems significantly higher (p < .05) on the Analysis scale than users without needs for information. Students' level of vocational identity increased significantly (p = .006) as a result of using SIGI and SIGI PLUS. Students with low initial vocational identity were more likely to increase their vocational identity if they used SIGI PLUS, than if they used SIGI. SIGI and SIGI PLUS appear equally capable of satisfying users' needs for information. Finally, when the 63 students were asked to indicate their overall preference for one of the two CACGS used, 24 or 38% preferred SIGI, while 39 or 62% preferred SIGI PLUS. Discussion of these results explored the differential impact of SIGI and SIGI PLUS and the equivalence of CACG systems. Specific implications for practice, system development, and future research are also provided.

Show moreA coordinated study on electrochemical, magnetic, optical, and transport properties of poly(1, 4- dimethoxy phenylene vinylene) (PDMPV) using in situ electrochemical doping techniques is presented. Properties are correlated through a common axis of applied voltage. Electrochemical doping shows approx. 100% Coulombic efficiency up to an applied potential of 3.8 V versus lithium in propylene carbonate electrolyte. Conductivity increases in a reversible manner to a maximum of 250 0 ' cm ' and an applied potential of 3.9 V. Potentials in excess of 3.9 V cause an irreversible decrease in conductivity. Spin and charge show a 1:1 relation on/y to very low doping levels. Two paramagnetic species are produced on doping. A maximum spin concentration is observed at =3.7 V. The ultraviolet —visible —near-infrared spectra of doped PDMPV show at least five absorption bands, at 4.8, 3.7, 2.5, 1.7, and 0.6 eV. The first three bands decrease with doping and the latter two increase. When analyzed by the polaron or bipolaron model, the optical data imply significant symmetry breaking, Contributions to the optical activity from polarons and bipolarons are determined from the EPR results and are found to be di6'erent for both peaks, implying greater symmetrybreaking eA'ects for polarons. An electrochemical analysis of EPR results suggests that polaron interaction energies are =0.4S eV greater than those for bipolarons.

This paper reviews literature on the "demand side" of general education by first providing a brief synopsis of the notion of general education and recent recommendations for reform, and next summarizing research on student knowledge of and attitudes toward higher education and general education. Because of the paucity of "demand side" research, the paper shifts focus to processes used in higher education to affect demand side questions, including teaching, recruitment and admissions, orientation, academic and career advising, and course scheduling. The paper ends with conclusions on the importance of attending to "demand side" issues in the improvement of general education programs.

Title: Prospects for Using C60 and C70 in Lithium Batteries.
Creator: Seger, L., Wen, L., Schlenoff, Joseph B.
Abstract/Description: Solid films of C60 and C70 fullerenes are evaluated in propylene carbonate/lithium perchlorate, an electrolyte commonly used in lithium batteries. Cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry, and an effusion test, show that reduced C60 and C70 are soluble in the electrolyte tested, which, coupled with poor stability of the highly reduced material and poor electrochemical reversibility, would compromise the performance of secondary batteries based on these fullerenes.

Title: Evolution of Physical and Electrochemical Properties of Polypyrrole during Extended Oxidation.
Creator: Schlenoff, Joseph B., Xu, Hong
Abstract/Description: The charge storage capacity and electrical conductivity of polypyrrole are followed through regimes of chemically reversible and irreversible electroactivity. Overoxidation of polypyrrole occurs at potentials in excess of 0.7 V vs. a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), as demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry of thin films. Material loss from polymer films as they are overoxidized is determined by in situ quartz microbalance experiments. The potential window for reversible electrochemistry in...

Overoxidation of polypyrrole occurs at potentials in excess of 0.7 V vs. a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), as demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry of thin films. Material loss from polymer films as they are overoxidized is determined by in situ quartz microbalance experiments. The potential window for reversible electrochemistry in polypyrrole is compared to that for other conducting polymers. Reflectance FTIR of thick films reveals that hydroxyl groups, followed by carbonyls, result from overoxidation.

Show moreThis report describes the efforts of the Career Center at Florida State University to implement the localization options in the DISCOVER and SIGI PLUS computer-assisted career guidance (CACG) systems in 1991-1992. A review of the literature and current use of localization suggested that it is a complex, underutilized extension of CACG software. Use of the localization feature raises issues about the nature of the desired client outcomes, the type of information to be included, the processes and costs for installing and using the feature, and who in the organization should be responsible. To determine what types of information to include in localization, career advising staff were surveyed, two staff meetings were held, and user feedback on the two CACG systems were examined. It was decided to emphasize local information that would accomplish the goals of (1) providing instructions to improve client interaction with the CACGS and reduce client confusion, and (2) linking clients with other Career Center resources and activities. Primary localization efforts were directed toward DISCOVER because the software design was more compatible with the two program goals noted above. This report includes a discussion of project findings in relation to localization issues, i.e., clarifying the purposes of localization, the influences of system design on localization functioning, the impact of localization on CACG system effects, and the impact of localization on staffing and training. The report concludes with a review of implications for practitioners and system developers of the study of CACG system localization features.

Adults were randomly assigned to either DISCOVER for Adult Learners (DAL), SIGI PLUS, or a control condition that involved unstructured use of print and AV materials in a university career center. Use of DAL and SIGI PLUS by adults resulted in positive gains in vocational identity. Subjects in the control condition and subjects using DISCOVER experienced a significant increase in career decidedness. Adults perceived both systems as having a positive impact on three dimensions of computer effectiveness, Analysis, Synthesis, and Computer Effect. The conclusion was that computer-based interventions are equivalent to more traditional career interventions. Implications of these results for practice and further research are discussed.

Data were collected from a sample fo 180 clients over a 16 month period, using the information provided in the professional summary report of the SDS:CV. Social and Enterprising types were the most common client codes (57%), and the mean Vocational Identity score from the My Vocational Situation was 5.26. Additional data about the client group was examined regarding the secondary constructs from Holland's theory of congruence (expressed vs. assessed Holland codes), differentiation, consistency, commonness, need for information, and vocational choice barriers. Low vocational identity items endorsed by 80% of the clients were also identified. An analysis of cost information for software and staff resources indicated that the SDS:CV was used at a cost of $10.10 per client in this setting. Discussion focused on the application of research information provided by the SDS:CV in designing career interventions, using the secondary constructs in career counseling, developing outreach programs, comparing and contrasting the paper and computer versions of the SDS, and the use of theory-based career interventions.

Show moreThis report documents an effort by the Association of Computer-Based Systems for Career Information to facilitate increased awareness and utilization of career information delivery systems (CIDS) by federal, state, and local governmental agencies who plan and deliver career services for adults and adolescents in transition. By more clearly understanding how CIDS specifically contribute to recent federal initiatives related to one-stop career centers, military downsizing, and school to work transitions, CIDS operators can be more proactive in ensuring that CIDS are used to the fullest extent possible in meeting the transition needs of adults and adolescents in the United States. The planning activity outlined in this report incorporates the collective experience and judgement of professionals experienced with CIDS design and use. Individuals invited to participate in the planning activity included all attendees of the Association of Computer-Based Systems for Career Information 16th annual conference held December 1-3, 1993, in Nashville, Tennessee. Using a nominal group technique, facilitators assisted two groups of randomly assigned conference participants in exploring how CIDS could contribute to one-stop career centers, military downsizing, and school-to-work transitions. Each group developed lists of potential CIDS contributions in priority order that are presented in a series of tables. Comments from conference participants regarding trends across the priorities identified by each group and potential next steps in planning are also included. The report concludes with a recommendation for a content analysis of potential CIDS contributions.

Within the polymer an electron flux obeying Ohm's law as well as electrolyte diffusion and migration is considered and Poisson's equation holds for electroneutrality. Donnan partition kinetics describes the flux and potential at the interface between the polymer and diffusion layer. Electrolyte diffusion is considered in the diffusion layer.
