BEHAVIORAL, CURRICULAR AND DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES AFFECTING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' CHANGE IN DEGREE MAJOR PROGRAMS (FLORIDA; LOG-LINEAR MODELS, INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH)
Description:
The purpose of this study was to examine the proposition that a change in major by a college student is determined in part by vocational preference and in part by the curricular constraints within a given college or university. The study... The data for 15 academic quarters were collected from 36, 611 student records from the nine universities of the State University System of Florida. This population was sorted into a model construction group (N = 18, 309) and a cross... The principal activities of the study consisted of describing the major changes made by the population of students who changed majors, fitting a log-linear model to a multiway contingency table, and cross-validating the model on a cross... The study was designed to determine whether changes in academic major follow the order of Holland's typology, and whether these changes are limited by curricular constraints and can be predicted from the initial major assigned and the... Two variables--age and sex--were determined to be related to curriculum and were added to the data, forming a five-way contingency table. A model was successfully fit to the data of the five-way contingency table using .80 adequate R('2)... The five variables--vocational preference, type of major change, the catalytic action of restrictions, sex, and age--were successfully fit into a model which explained almost all the student behavior captured in existing university records.
By conventional behavioral measures, rodents respond to natural sugars, such as glucose and fructose, as though they elicit an identical perceptual taste quality. Beyond that, the metabolic and sensory effects of these two sugars are...

The encompassing claim of this study is that Tolkien operated as a social critic through his fictional writing, and that Tolkien's developing social criticism has its roots in his critical interpretations of The Battle of Maldon and SGGK...
This thesis examines the relationship between Vedic and Orphic theogonies, both from a mythological and poetic perspective. In both the Rig Veda and in the various Orphic fragments, a primordial god is born from a cosmic egg, which when...
This critical review presents a comprehensive study of transition-metal carboxylate clusters which may serve as secondary building units (SBUs) towards construction and synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). We describe the...
The Tugboat Captain's Granddaughter. (Original poetry)
Description:
A collection of poetry, divided into three sections. The poems in all three sections are in free verse and the tone varies throughout. The first section explores family relationships and the speaker's affiliations with family and herself. In these poems, the speaker gradually comes to terms with family members and with portions of her history. Many of these poems are... In the second section, the focus is on "the other"--historical, political, and other, characters--who are mainly unknown to the speaker and are analyzed or celebrated here. These figures include Mary Magdalene as well as Breyten... Section three chronicles the speaker's relationship to her partners and to herself as a woman and artist. Issues are resolved here and the speaker celebrates her revelations.

VIDEO TELECONFERENCING: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF USING A VIDEO TELECONFERENCE MEETING CONDITION ON GROUP PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITY
Description:
Investigation into group problem-solving performance in video versus face-to-face meeting conditions indicated that no research had been conducted to determine if there is a significant difference in the ability of a group to solve a... The purpose of this study was to review and synthesize past research on video teleconferencing; to measure quantitatively the effectiveness of participants using two-way video teleconferencing versus participants in face-to-face meetings... The primary hypotheses--stated in the null--were: (1) No significant difference will exist in the quality of a solution arrived at by participants using the two media (face-to-face and video) when a complex problem-solving task is used. ... Two complex group problem-solving tasks were used to measure group problem-solving ability in both media. An attitude questionnaire, developed by the researcher, was used to examine subjects' attitudes prior to and after experiencing... A pilot study was conducted to test the experimental procedures and instruments. The Cronbach Alpha Reliability Test and Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Anova were used for the pilot's data analysis. A Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Test was used to test... Analysis of the data showed that the performance in video was significantly better than in face-to-face and that subjects' attitudes did not significantly change from initial attitudes in favor of face-to-face over video.
