What's that sound? Political action and the New Left at Purdue University, 1968-1970Belser, Elizabeth A. January 2017 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis argues that Purdue, a socially and politically conservative institution in an equally conservative state, provides an ideal atmosphere in which to study the inception of the New Left. The insular nature of the campus and its relative isolation from outside groups provides an opportunity to study the genesis of the movement as it progressed from local concerns to a broader focus on national and international topics.

Nitrate and phosphorus loadsSamaneh Saadat (5930210) 16 January 2019 (has links)
<p>Daily nitrate-N, soluble
reactive phosphorus and total phosphorus loads in subsurface drainage were
quantified in an agricultural farm field in eastern Indiana (Davis Purdue
Agricultural Center).</p>
<p><b>Site description:</b> The data was collected from the field W at
Davis Purdue Agricultural Center (DPAC) located in eastern Indiana. Field W is
relatively flat (slope < 1%), with 0.16 km2 total area, divided into four
plots, northwest (NW), southwest (SW), northeast (NE), and southeast (SE) with
areas ranging from 3.5 ha to 3.7 ha. The four soil series at the site range
from very poorly to somewhat poorly drained, with a small portion of moderately
well drained series. The subsurface drainage system was installed in 2004, with
10-cm laterals having an approximate depth of 1 m and spacing of 14 m,
resulting in a drainage intensity of 1.1 cm day-1 and drainage coefficient of 1
cm day-1. Drainage in the SE and NW plots was controlled at two different
levels during some periods depending on the season, while the SW and NE were
allowed to drain freely. This field has been in a corn-soybean rotation since
2011 and in continuous corn before that, and was managed using chisel-plow tillage
in the fall and field cultivator tillage in the spring during the study period.
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers were applied at different rates
prior to and after planting corn. Phosphorus was also applied prior to soybean
planting in two of the three soybean years. The rate and timing of fertilizer
applications were uniform for all plots and were based on Purdue Extension
recommendations. Further details of the site management and data are available
in Abendroth et al. (2017). More information about this site and
fertilizer application can be found in Saadat et al., 2018.</p>
<p><b>Sampling strategy and
load calculation:</b> Automated water
samplers (ISCO) were used to draw samples from the drainage outlet flow of each
plot. Samples were collected every hour when flow was present except during
winter, and combined into weekly composite samples varying in length from twice
a week to biweekly. During the winter, water samples were collected manually to
avoid freezing problems, approximately every week whenever flow was present. Samples
were kept frozen until analysis and then analyzed on a SEAL Analytical AQ2
auto-analyzer to be tested for nitrate+nitrite-N (referred to nitrate-N),
soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and total phosphorus (TP) according to US EPA
methods.</p>
<p>Daily nitrate-N, SRP and
TP concentration values needed for the load calculations were estimated using
linear interpolation. After estimating daily concentrations, daily loads were
calculated by multiplying the daily drain flow by estimated daily
concentrations.</p>

A Comparison of Principals’ and Teachers’ Scores on the Leadership Practices Inventory and The Purdue Teacher OpinionaireGraybeal, Kimberly D 01 May 2015 (has links)
Most research indicates that effective principals usually involve teachers in some of the decision-making processes that take place in a school. When teachers feel they have a voice in decisions, they are more likely to take ownership in their school. Great leaders have the power to change their school either for the advancement of the establishment, or they can bring about negativity in the workplace.
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences on the 5 dimensions of the Kouzes-Posner Leadership Practices Inventory (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart) between teachers’ scores and their principal’s score for participants in this study, and to determine if a relationship existed between teachers’ scores on the Purdue Teacher Opinionaire and their principal’s Leadership Practices Inventory score.
For this research data were collected from 10 schools in a school system in East Tennessee that contained kindergarten through eighth grade. These schools are classified in 3 categories: kindergarten through eighth grade, third through fifth grade, or sixth through eighth grade.
There were 208 participating teachers in the school system who teach kindergarten through eighth grade. One-sample t-tests were used to compare the principal’s Leadership Practice Inventory score to teachers’ Leadership Practice Inventory scores at each of the 10 participating schools. Scores for teachers and their principal were not significantly different for any of the 5 dimensions for Schools 1, 2, 9, and 10. School 8 displayed a significant difference for 3 of the 5 dimensions. The means were significantly different for Schools 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 on all 5 of the dimensions. The relationship as measured by Pearson correlation coefficients between the Leadership Practices Inventory and the Purdue Teacher Opinionaire for teachers at the 10 participating schools displayed similar mixed results.

Previous issue date: 2008-08-29 / The shortage of normative data in instruments and specific tests for the Brazilian population is a challenge to the professionals that intend to measure the effectiveness of its work. At the practical clinic, many diagnoses, preventions and
treatments are established with the use of tests or measuring instruments. Instruments and tests that cover the motor developing aspects of manual coordination ability are even harder to find on the Brazilian children s norms and are important to notice the motor coordination issues that may affect their ability to take care of themselves, social activities and school performance. This study intended to find validation evidences of three manual motor ability tests, Purdue Pegboard, Finger Tapping and Simple Reaction Time in 134 right-handed children of 5 and 6 years old from two schools based in São Paulo, one of which is a private school and the other one is a public school with different socioeconomic levels. The specific objectives were intended to compare the performance of the manual motor ability tests between sexes and ages of 5 and 6 years olds, and to verify whether there was a performance difference in the tests between the children from the public and private school. The results showed a significant correlation between the three tests helping to validate the theory. Regarding the specified objectives, it was observed that between all the manual motor ability, only on the Purdue Pegboard 3 and 4 sub-tests did the girls perform better than the boys; the older children achieved a better performance on the tests; and the manual motor ability tests performance doesn t depend on which type
of school the children attend. / A escassez de dados normativos em instrumentos e testes específicos para a população brasileira é um desafio aos profissionais que propõem mensurar a efetividade de seu trabalho. Na prática clínica, muitos diagnósticos, assim como prevenções e tratamentos podem ser estabelecidos com o uso de testes ou instrumentos de mensuração. Instrumentos e testes que abrangem aspectos do desenvolvimento motor como habilidade motora manual são ainda mais difíceis de estarem disponíveis nas normas para crianças brasileiras. Estes são importantes para a detecção de problemas de coordenação motora, que podem influenciar nas atividades de auto-cuidado, nas atividades sociais e no desempenho escolar. Este estudo propôs buscar evidências de validação de três testes de habilidade motora manual, Purdue Pegboard, Finger Tapping e Tempo de Reação Simples em 134 crianças de cinco e seis anos de idade. Todas destras, de duas escolas
paulistanas, sendo uma escola particular e outra pública, com níveis sócioeconômicos distintos. Como objetivos específicos, a pesquisa propôs comparar o desempenho dos testes de habilidade motora manual entre os sexos, e entre as idades de cinco e seis anos. Além de verificar se existe diferenças no
desempenho dos testes entre os sujeitos da escola pública e particular. Os resultados apontaram correlações significantes entre os três testes, o que auxiliou no processo de validade da construção. Em relação aos objetivos específicos observamos que entre todos os testes de habilidade motora manual, apenas nos sub-testes 3 e 4 do Purdue Pegboard, as meninas tiveram melhor desempenho que os meninos, os sujeitos com maior idade obtiveram melhor desempenho nos
testes e o desempenho dos testes de habilidade motora manual independe do tipo de escola que o sujeito freqüenta.

Prototyping a Well-Driver PUP (Purdue Utility Project) to Install Low-Cost Driven Water WellsZackariah J Horn (6632300) 11 June 2019 (has links)
<p>People living in developing
countries or undeveloped regions often do not have proper access to quantities
of safe, clean water to fulfill their daily needs. Certain members of the families, often women
and children, walk miles every day to collect surface waters that are
frequently contaminated. To improve
water availability and quality, a sustainable mechanical solution to more
safely access groundwater has been developed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A well-driving attachment for a
PUP (Purdue Utility Project) vehicle provides a low-cost means for installing
driven type wells in areas of high to medium water table heights. PUP vehicles have a niche in developing
countries, as they offer impressive value and utility in comparison to other
powered machines. The vehicles are built
and sourced using locally available materials with basic tooling. A hydraulic post driver has been attached to
the rear of a PUP frame to serve as an impact mechanism, driving a well point
and a series of inter-connecting pipes to serve as a permanent casing for the
well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Water wells were tested at four
different test sites around central Indiana, with the deepest well reaching 23
feet. This suggests that the Well-Driver
PUP can install driven water wells in areas of medium to high water tables and
may be suitable for a development setting.
Water wells can be installed on a communal basis, thus providing an
increased level of hygiene and standards of living. Low-cost driven water wells will provide a
drinking water supply that is better protected than a hand-dug well and will
reduce the likelihood of disease caused by waterborne pathogens. Development of the Well-Driver PUP prototype
and its applications will be discussed.</p>

The Cooperative Extension Office at your serviceWaechter, James B. January 1985 (has links)
The purpose of this creative project was to develop a program on video tape that would briefly explain the local Cooperative Extension Office, the programs and the assistance available. Audio-visual material available prior to this consisted of one slide tape set approximately 10 years old. In the new video tape a short history of Extension, and an overview of each area of the local Extension Office are explained, using examples of how the local Extension Agents provide assistance to the community. The disciplines include 4-H, Agriculture, Family and Consumer Sciences and Community Development.Development of the video tape included planning, script writing, filming, editing and documentation of the project. The major task was to present the best, most informative material explaining the role of Extension with-out being long and boring. By showing preliminary tapes to control groups and making changes as suggested. A final format was established that should most effectively explain the Extension Office and its services.

Image Processing Pipeline and a Global Search for Local Maxima Method of Object DetectionNathan Kampe Houtz (19273654) 01 August 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Optical observations provide a cost-effective means of tracking satellites and space debris with high angular accuracy, and many amateur, academic, and professional observers use them extensively. Optical images can be accumulated quickly, and automation is important to rapidly produce accurate measurements of objects found in them. Effects like atmospheric refraction, atmospheric scattering of incoming light, aberration due to the motion of the observer, image distortions from the optics of the telescope, scintillation due to atmospheric turbulence, limited resolution, and various sources of noise create challenges for observers. An image processing pipeline has been developed from scratch for the purpose of automating the collection of data with the Purdue Optical Ground Station telescope. Effects that are deterministic are mathematically modeled and corrected, and all steps of the pipeline are described. A novel method is presented for detecting and optimally estimating the centroids of faint, streaked objects in astronomical images with several-second-long exposure times. The ability to accurately determine the pointing direction of a telescope from the stars in the image is demonstrated with a series of images of a GPS satellite. The resulting orbit is compared with the broadcast ephemeris, with an average positional error of 22.1 meters over the observation period.</p>
