The problem of this study was to determine the effects which the practicing of self-selected teaching skills by elementary education majors had on measures of personality and of teaching behavior. Personality measures were limited to self-confidence; attitudes toward self, children, and others; identification with the teaching role; and identification with the teaching profession. The teaching behavior measures were coded interaction episodes between a teacher trainee and four pupils in a microteaching setting. It was concluded that training experiences of short duration (e.g., eight weeks or less) (1) can be expected to positively affect specific, narrowly defined personality traits such as identification with the teaching role and identification with the teaching profession, (2) cannot be expected to affect broadly defined, global personality traits such as self-confidence or attitudes toward self, children, and others, and (3) cannot be expected to affect the classroom interaction of teachers and pupils.

In 1973 , the citizens of Nebraksa embarked upon the Nebraska I-80 Bicentennial Sculpture Project, which provided large roadside sculptures along Interstate 80. A controversial project, referred to as an outdoor sculpture garden, it was completed in 1976 as a lasting commemoration of America's Bicentennial, The sculptures are interspersed for approximately five hundred miles throughout the state and located on alternate sides of the expressway at roadside rest areas.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012 / O impacto preciso das malformacoes do corpo caloso (CC) no desenvolvimento das funcoes cognitivas e no comportamento e dificil de definir, ja que sua expressao clinica e muito variavel. O objetivo deste projeto de pesquisa foi contribuir para a melhor compreensao do impacto das malformacoes do CC sobre o desenvolvimento das funcoes cognitivas e comportamentais, por meio de um estudo clinico descritivo. Participaram deste estudo, 16 individuos, de ambos os sexos e entre 6 e 18 anos de idade, diagnosticados com malformacoes do CC, encaminhados para o ambulatorio de neuroplasticidade do NANI/CPN. Foram realizadas avaliacao das funcoes cognitivas e comportamentais e o desempenho nos testes foi comparado a normas por idade. Considerando tipo de malformacao, agenesia total do corpo caloso (ACC) foi identificada em 7 casos, sendo dois associados a Sindrome Alcoolica Fetal (SAF), agenesia parcial do corpo caloso (ACCP) em 7 e hipoplasia do corpo caloso (HCC) em dois. Desempenho intelectual compativel a idade foi detectado em 7 participantes (3 casos de ACC nao associados a SAF e 2 casos com HCC) e 56% da amostra apresentou defiCiência intelectual. O impacto dessas alteracoes cerebrais sobre o desenvolvimento cognitivo e comportamental foi menos grave nos participantes com ACC e HCC em comparacao aos individuos com ACCP. Presenca de ACC associada a sindrome alcoolica fetal esteve associada aos efeitos mais deleterios sobre o desenvolvimento. O maior prejuizo no grupo como um todo envolveu habilidades visoconstrutivas e, na esfera comportamental, a socializacao. As observacoes neurocomportamentais sugerem perfil semelhante ao do transtorno de aprendizagem nao-verbal e foram compativeis a Sindrome da Agenesia Primaria do Corpo Caloso, com a ressalva da grande variabilidade dos casos / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

Master of Agribusiness / Agricultural Economics / Allen M. Featherstone / The purpose of this thesis is to analyze whether the use of automated aeration systems for reducing moisture in corn during storage provides sufficient net present value for Nebraska corn farmers. The objective is to examine if an automated aeration system provides sufficient energy savings, marketing opportunities and reduced drying costs before corn delivery to an elevator. On-the-farm corn storage has steadily increased and harvesting corn before the moisture has achieved the desired targets cost farmers in drying charges and shrink. Farmers are interested in whether automated aeration systems can remove enough moisture from grain, without over-drying the bin, without spending a large amount of time determining when to run their grain bin aeration fans. Data for this project were obtained from four privately owned 60,000 bushel grain bins outfitted with the IntelliAir™ BinManager™ automated aeration system. Moisture samples were taken from each of the trucks hauling grain to the bin and again after removal of the corn after the automated system had ran for 9 months. Energy usage, drying charges, and shrink were calculated for the initial corn moisture averages and the moisture at the time of removal. Each bin was examined using Net Present Value (NPV) analysis to determine whether the energy savings were enough to offset the initial installation cost and annual expenses of the project. After the NPV was estimated for each of the bins, a sensitivity analysis of how corn price changes and no aeration required would affect the NPV analysis. Finally, an analysis of the total costs savings of a continuously ran aeration system was compared to the automated aeration system. The conclusion of the NPV analysis was that adding an automated aeration system would be profitable under most scenarios. More studies are needed to determine the profitability of automated aeration systems in different regions, moisture inputs, and bin sizes.
