Modifying School Curricula to Promote Resiliency in At-Risk Children: A Case StudyClemmer, Sandra S. 16 October 1998 (has links)
Resilient children are those who succeed in school and life even though they experience adverse conditions such as poverty, illness, or parental problems. Research on the topic identifies characteristics of these children, suggests ways to help them overcome adversity, and poses questions for further study. Using available current research on the subject, the writer examined a school setting to determine how well the staff was fostering success and helping children overcome the odds. Additionally, the researcher, along with a team of teachers using an action research method, modified a curriculum to meet the needs of at-risk children in order to foster success in a safe, comforting, and nurturing environment. / Ed.

3D Reconstruction of Simulated Bridge Pier Local Scour Using Green Laser and HydroLite Sonar.Unknown Date (has links)
Scour is the process of sediment erosion around bridge piers and abutments due to
natural and man-made hydraulic activities. Excessive scour is a critical problem that is
typically handled by enforcing design requirements that make the submerged structures
more resilient. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the feasibilities of the Optical-
Based Green Laser Scanner and HydroLite Sonar in a laboratory setting to capture the 3D
profile of simulated local scour holes. The Green Laser had successfully reconstructed a
3D point-cloud imaging of scour profiles under both dry and clear water conditions. The
derived scour topography after applying water refraction correction was compared with the
simulated scour hole, and was within 1% of the design dimensions. The elevations at the
top and bottom surfaces of the 6.5-inch scour hole were -46.6 and -53.11 inches from the
reference line at the origin (0,0,0) of the laser scanner. The HydroLite Sonar recorded
hydrographical survey points of the scour’s interior surface. The survey points were then
processed using MATLAB to obtain a 3D mesh triangulation. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Previous issue date: 2008-11-28 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This exegetical study analyzes the text of the young Jeremiah, specifically chapter 2 of the Book of Jeremiah, based on the historical-critical method, embedded in the Latin-American hermeneutics. The book of Jeremiah, because of its literary wealth and its prophetic content, is one of the most loved and most read by Christians and other people who appreciate this kind of literature. A large amount of exegetical research about the Book of Jeremiah has been published, most parts of it about the portions of the New Covenant (Jer. 30-31), the oracles against the nations (Jer. 46-51) and also about chapters 37-45. Compared to these passages chapters 1-6 of the Book of Jeremiah have received relatively little attention. There is still a lot of controversy about the historical context of these chapters. Some researchers, e.g. Bernhard Duhm, already in 1901, and more recently Thomas Roemer, consider these opening chapters of the book to be the oldest texts of Jeremiah, marking the beginning of his ministry. From this beginning on we can already notice the clear and explicit words that Jeremiah uses to announce accusation and judgment against Jerusalem and Judah: there is no hope and the fall is soon to be happening. The prophet does not fail to name the persons responsible for this situation. The intention of this study is to show that Jeremiah 2 is a text by Jeremiah and marks the beginning of his prophetic ministry in the years preceding the reform of Josiah (622 B.C.). Its content is geared, despite the experiences with the Northern Kingdom and the influence by Hosea, towards Jerusalem and Judah. Now that the Northern Kingdom has ceased to exist, the town of Anatoth, birthplace of Jeremiah, became incorporated into the administration of the Southern Kingdom. Working with these premises we believe that Jeremiah 2 rereads the prophecy of Hosea, however with an emphasis that characterizes Jeremiah s own prophecy: the choices and practices of the elite will bring Jerusalem and Judah to fall. There is no way out: punishment and destruction are sure to come.(AU) / Esta pesquisa exegética parte do método histórico-crítico, inserido na hermenêutica latino-americana, para analisar os textos do jovem Jeremias, mais exatamente, o capítulo 2 do seu livro. Este livro, aliás, pela sua riqueza literária somada ao seu conteúdo profético, é um dos mais amados e lidos pelos cristãos e demais amantes deste tipo de literatura. E a produção de textos referentes a Jeremias na pesquisa exegética é abundante, principalmente as porções da nova aliança (Jr.30-31) e das profecias contra as nações (Jr.46-51), além do bloco 37-45. Todavia, a pesquisa a respeito dos primeiros capítulos de Jeremias, ao contrário, tem sido muito pouco valorizada. Há, ainda, muitas controvérsias sobre onde situar na história esses capítulos iniciais. Porém, alguns críticos, como, por exemplo, Bernhard Duhm, já em 1901, e Thomas Roemer, mais recentemente, consideram esses capítulos iniciais do profeta como os mais antigos de Jeremias e marcam o início da sua atuação. E já notamos que, desde este início, Jeremias tem palavras bem claras de denúncia e juízo contra Jerusalém e Judá: não há esperanças e a ruína está às portas. O profeta não deixa, pois, de nomear os responsáveis por tal situação. A nossa posição aqui nesta pesquisa é a de que Jr 2, de fato, é um texto de Jeremias e marca o início de sua atuação profética, nos anos imediatamente anteriores à reforma de Josias (622 a.C.) Seus conteúdos, apesar de suas experiências do norte e sua influência oseiânica, apontam para Jerusalém e Judá, já que o Reino do Norte desaparecera e Anatote, cidade natal de Jeremias, fora incorporada pela administração real do sul. Trabalhando com essas premissas, acreditamos que Jr 2 relê a profecia de Oséias, porém com a ênfase que é uma das características da sua própria profecia: as escolhas e as práticas das elites levarão Jerusalém e Judá às ruínas: não há saídas; certamente, castigo e destruição vêm.(AU)

Sediment transport effects on drop structure scourNordby, Brett Gene, 1959- January 1989 (has links)
In 1983, Laursen and Flick (1) proposed an equation to predict the depth of scour at the toe of a sloping sill. The equation was developed for use with clear-water only since their experiments did not fully investigate the effect of sediment transport. Their report also left open the question of the possible ramifications of sediment transport on the depth of a scour hole. This thesis is an exploratory investigation of the effect of the sediment transport phenomenon on the depth of a scour hole. It will discuss and compare both the clear-water and sediment transport conditions and to explore if the sediment transport rates to be expected in most streams would have a substantial effect on the scour at the toe of a sloping sill.
