1	The History of Montpelier From 1864 to 1925 Rich, A. McKay 01 May 1957 (has links) There have been many histories written on the great movements of American History and most states have had their histories, but almost endless localities have been neglected. Yet it is in the localities that we find the greatest stories and problems of the states, nations, and world in their embryonic stages. There is no better place to begin a realization of the heritage of America than in the story of ones own locality. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to write this paper upon the history of Montpelier, Idaho. history montpelier History
2	Utilization of BIOSCREEN to Calculate Retardation Factor of Petroleum Contaminants, and Biodegradation Rate for a Site in Montpelier, Indiana Garner, Brittany M 11 December 2015 (has links) In March 1994, a report was issued to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management after Jim Allen Maintenance, Inc. found levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) exceeding the level appropriate for action (100 parts per million) during an underground storage tank closure report assessment. Creek Run L.L.C Environmental Engineering was contracted by Jay Petroleum to complete an initial site characterization. Through quarterly monitoring of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and methyl tert-butyl ether for 11 years, Creek Run L.L.C determined that biodegradation was occurring. Upon using BIOSCREEN, a contaminant transport modeling software that simulates natural attenuation over time, it was determined that the retardation factor was 1.4, and the biodegradation rate constant was 4.6 per year. This indicates that the contaminant migration is slow in comparison to groundwater flow, and the rate of biodegradation is at an appropriate value to allow natural attenuation to occur on its own.

3	Labor, Status And Power: Slave Foodways At James Madison's Montpelier AD 1810-1836 Copperstone, Chance January 2014 (has links) This study explores the evidence for differences in foodways related to status among an enslaved community according to labor-based designations. Specifically, this paper investigates the interplay of a plantation provisioning system and slave responses to the imposed system through the study of faunal remains recovered from discrete slave quarters at James Madison's Montpelier plantation near Orange, Virginia during the so-called Retirement Period of James Madison, approximately encompassing the years A.D. 1810-1836. Through synthesis of data acquired by the author with that of previous investigators, this research reveals subtle variations in the ways in which the different labor groups at Montpelier negotiated the plantation hierarchy through differential access to and acquisition of meat resources within the constraints of the plantation setting. While higher positions within the plantation hierarchy, particularly in the case of the skilled laborers of the Stable Quarter, is inferred, further fine-grained examination of the material culture from the slave quarters at Montpelier is necessary to accurately identify the nuances of status and unravel the power structure at Montpelier.

4	Elementary school parents' opinions towards educational technology and its role in their children's education Biddle, Kevin J. 14 December 2013 (has links) This study surveyed parents of elementary students in the small Midwestern community of Montpelier, Indiana to elicit their opinions toward the educational technology in their children’s school and the role it plays in their education. Montpelier Elementary School (MES) has 223 students from 161 families. A phone survey was done to which about 42% of the parents responded to 13 questions. Questions regarding the level of satisfaction with the different educational technology resources available to the students and their involvement in the decision-making process to go to a one-to-one student to computer ratio were asked. A Likerttype scale was used to measure the parents’ responses. Of the 67 parents who responded, 36 were of low SES, while 31 were considered high socioeconomic status. The ratio was the same ratio of low to high SES as the entire population of families in the school. The results of the survey were tested by conducting a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to determine if there was a significant difference in the responses between the two groups. The evidence suggests that socioeconomic status did play a role in the opinions of the parents toward the educational technology in their children’s school and the role it plays in their education. The data showed that for MES, there was significant difference in the overall survey responses. There was also a significant difference in 10 of the 13 survey responses. Low SES families tended to be less satisfied with the educational technology and less involved in the decision-making processes regarding that educational technology. / Department of Educational Studies Educational technology Education, Elementary
