Moreover, several inland stations such as Jackson (JAN), Mississippi and Shelby Co Airport (BMX), Alabama are added to the analyses to make some comparisons. In addition to examining the boundary layer structure of these coastal and inland stations, an attempt is made to investigate thermadynamic structure on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico in terms of both synoptic analysis and model applications. Return flow events of the Gulf of Mexico are mainly examined by using a three dimensional Air Mass Transformation (AMT) model and a one-dimensional Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) model. The models are intende for short-range weather forecasts of the temperature profiles in the lower atmosphere and the structure of the boundary layer"--Abstract.

Geology and surface topography of the basin is controlled by sediments of Upper Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Quaternary age. In the portion of the basin south of the Cody Scarp, the Middle and Upper Miocene sediments have been eroded and the surface elevations are much lower than the northern upland. The Florida Aquifer is the principal source of ground water for the St. Marks basin. The major producing zone of the aquifer is comprised of limestones of Upper Eocene to Lower Miocene age. Overlying younger sediments serve as confining units throughout the northern half of the basin. Hydrologically, the aquifer is more transmissive near the St. Marks River. Water levels are generally higher in the recharge area in the northern portion of the basin with flow paths generally towards the springs and discharge areas near the Gulf of Mexico. Recharge is predominantly from local rainfall although some ground water is being contributed from the adjacent basin to the north"--Abstract.

An EOF analysis is performed on this field resulting in variance-qualified spatial patterns of wind stress curl and associated time series. A Monte Carlo technique is used to establish the statistical significance of each spatial pattern. The first four statistically significant EOF modes represent more than 50% of the curl variance. The spatial patterns of curl associated with these modes exhibit many elements of North Atlantic climatology. The associated time series are spectrally analyzed. Most of the variance is contained in annual and semiannual frequencies. Features observed include the individual annual variation of the subtropical high and the subpolar low, the annual oscillation of intensity between the above pressure centers, the influence of localized strong SST gradients and associated cyclogenesis regions, and the constant nature of the trades. The EOF curl patterns are in the form of simple standing waves with wavelength on the order of basin size"--Abstract.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate two instructional presentations of flowcharting and computer programming to prospective elementary school teachers. In general, the two instructional approaches differed in the amount of pedagogical subject matter which was integrated into the computer programming content. The control treatment contained no pedagogical content. The subjects (n-38) of the study were students enrolled in a regular CUPM-type course for prospective elementary school teachers. The study was designed to test six hypotheses stated in the null form. In addition, an analysis of the subjects' critiques of a videotaped sixth grade lesson was made. The results of the study suggest that pedagogical subject matter and BASIC computer programming, integrated in a course for prospective elementary school teachers, can cause significant improvements in retention of, and attitudes toward, computer programming. Furthermore, the quality of lesson plans can be enhanced by this integration--Abstract.

The artistic variables characterizing the pictures were controlled so as to provide information concerning which types of illustrations best facilitated interpretation of the pictures and perception of mathematical relationships. An 8 x 2 design allowed analysis of the effects of the form of the drawing, the number of pictures, and the response condition. Ninety-six first grade children were individually tested using an instrument designed by the investigator. Statistical analysis revealed that neither drawing style nor the number of pictures had a significant effect on either the level of assimilation within the stories, the perception of motion, or the number sentence responses. Analysis of the response condition revealed a significant difference favoring the force condition on number sentence responses. Also, initially viewing and interpreting sequences provided a learning experience to significantly effect the interpretation of single pictures"--Abstract.

From the viewpoint of the Walsh-Hadamard transform, the multiplications of the values of the variables on the gridpoints do not yield the aliasing terms. In the shallow water equations, we compare the aliased spectral model with the de-aliased spectral model using the initial conditions of the Rossby-Haurwitz wave and the FGGE data. The aliased spectral models are more accurate and more efficient than the de-aliased spectral models. For the same wavenumber truncation, the computational amount of the aliased spectral model is only 60 percent of the de-aliased spectral model. We have not yet discovered the phenomenon of the nonlinear computational instability induced by the aliasing terms in the long time integration of the aliased spectral models. Thus, in the spectral models with the transform method the necessity of using the 3/2-rule in the discrete Fourier transform may be viewed with suspicion"--Abstract.

Now symbolize this statement as follows: P: 1 [is an element of] G. R: k [is an element of] G. S: k + 1 [is an element of] G. Q: G = N. Therefore the statement of the principle of mathematical induction can be seen in the following form. If [P and, [for all] k [is an element of] N (if R, then S)], then Q. One strategy for teaching this principle is to explain that in order to apply the principle of mathematical induction and assert Q, one must appeal to the logical rule of modus ponens (the law of detachment). That is, we must affirm the antecedent [P and, [for all] k [is an element of] N (if R, then S)], and then we can assert Q. Therefore the research hypothesis for this study was that if people have the prerequisite knowledge of logic, and that if they are taught the principle of mathematical induction in terms of logic, then they will perform better on a criterion test over the principle of mathematical induction than people who are not taught in terms of logic"--Introduction.

Show moreDuring the 1979 Atlantic hurricane season a tropical wave left the west coast of Africa and continued westward where satellite and ship observation indicated strengthening to a tropical depression from which Hurricane Frederic developed. This particular tropical disturbance has an interesting history. In its westward progression it intensified to hurricane strength lasting less than 24 hours followed by a weakening east of the Lesser Antilles. Continuing westward, this disturbance became extratropical over Southeast Cuba, but quickly reintensified to hurricane strength over Northwest Cuba, tracking through the warm Gulf waters and eventually making landfall near Mobile, Alabama. A number of experiments were carried out on a multi-level primitive equation (PE) model, a one-level PE model, and a higher resolution multi-level PE model (T63) in order to simulate the progression and intensification from a wave to a hurricane over a specified limited domain. Although previous experiments using this model with its comprehensive physical processes exhibit a reasonable predictive rate of success, the early experiments during this case study produced poor results. The most successful forecasts will be examined carefully and discussed entirely. There is strong indication that for mesoscale features a higher resolution model would achieve better results.

Show moreThis study assessed the relative effectiveness of verbal and non-verbal teaching methods in facilitating the learning of mathematics. The two treatments differed only in that nonverbal instruction did not permit oral communication or use of written words. Chalkboard instruction was characterized by complete silence in nonverbal classes. In verbal classes, new terminology was introduced by writing the terms on the board and using them thorughout the lesson. Four fourth-grade classes consisting of 88 students in one school were randomly assigned to treatment groups so that two were taught non-verbally, and two by the conventional verbal method. Two teachers were assigned one class of each type. Treatment and teacher factors were crossed in a pretest-posttest control group design. The demonstrated comparability of the two teaching methods not only points to nonverbal instruction as an alternate mode, but also seriously questions the effectiveness of conventional teacher talk in enhancing learning. Teachers with a creative bent should be encouraged to experiment with nonverbal instruction and design activities for all levels of development. The technique could be used effectively to break the routine of conventional instruction. The importance of nonverbal components should be stressed in methods courses for pre- and in-service teachers. Techniques of nonverbal instruction should be practiced in student teaching practices.

Oviparous reproduction in Carditamera floridana was studied in St. Andrew's Sound, near Mexico Beach, Florida, between May 1992 and February 1994. The oviparous mode of development of Carditamera floridana is unique in the number of juveniles produced, the extent of parental care involved, the subtropical range of the species, and the lack of a distinct vitellogenic mechanism.

In reviewing the literature and conferring with social service administrators, it was pointed out that a basic criterion was needed in order to determine the positive effects of social service activities with neuropsychiatric tubercular patients. As the complexity of multiple interacting factors made a study of direct effect impossible, it was decided to compare social service activities and other factors to rapid and non-rapid movement of patients from Ward 14. This determined the association of other factors, in addition to social service activities, associated with movement and provided some basis on which further study of the effects of social service could be undertaken. An attempt was also made to show the association of specific characteristics of social service contacts with movement"--Introduction.

Show moreIn working with the disabled and/or handicapped person it is necessary to consider all aspects of social functioning if realistic goals are to be reached in the rehabilitation process. It is recognized that if the family can give interest and support to that member of the family who is disabled and/or handicapped, and agrees to participate in rehabilitation planning that the effect will be helpful. The dichotomy of this study sample is made between those patients living alone and those patients living with some member of their family. The null hypothesis of this study is that there are no differences between the observed and expected frequencies on eleven items of descriptive, social, and clinical information as revealed in the distribution of data for thirty-four adult physically disabled and/or handicapped patients who live with some member of their family and thirty-six adult physically disabled and/or handicapped patients who live alone, which could not occur by chance.
