- 871: Experimenter Expectancy Effect On Children in a Classroom Setting
- ... having scores from Flanagan's Test of General Ability sent to the teachers. They also chose which grades of children would be used and which teachers would be in the experiment. The experimenters maintained a high degree of control, and they told no one else of what they were really studying. The children in the experimental group averaged 12.2 points of improvement in their intellectual growth. The students in the ... second grades, the amount that teachers expect from their students is the amount they will receive. This study could be improved in a few ways. First, the students were tested at the end of the school year with the same test they had been given to initially decide their IQs. A different test of intelligence should be given to the students. Being given the same test, some of the students may ... from this article. Having a desire to become a teacher, this article has shown me just how much of a reaction my attention to students may have on them. I would like to become a high school or college professor.

Be sure to wear your seat belt until you are high enough for an emergency exit. It is also a good idea to put your helmet on for the take off. Your two responsibilities in the airplane are to minimize movement and to protect your deployment ... as wide apart as the elbows. Seen from the front, there is a smooth curve from side to side with the hips at the lowest point. Note that head, shoulders, and knees are all held high relative to the hips and chest. The basic moves are well understood. The most commonly used maneuvers are turns, forward and backward movement, and faster or slower falling. All are accomplished by changing the flow ... a rig in skydiving jargon, is a very simple machine. It must include two canopies, a main and a reserve. The components must be TSO'd, meaning they meet government technical standard orders that require high manufacturing and testing standards. All rigs are worn on the back and consist of similar components. A look at the diagram will show that a rig consists of the deployment system (pilot chute, bridle, ...
- 873: Black Elk Speaks
- ... the nature of all men. Most important in these lessons on the nature of man was wisdom, and in all of Black Elk's recollections somewhere a deeper wisdom can be found. The story of High Horse's Courting stands out as a perfect example of one of Black Elk's narratives. Typically, Black Elk's narratives try to bestow a lesson (or les-sons) that the listener can learn from, just as the subject of the story sometimes does. High Horse's Courting begins when a youth named High Horse falls madly in love with a girl of his tribe. High Horse neither possessed the respect nor the wealth to obtain this girl from her parents, so he had to resort to stealth ...

Internet, I found many sources to support my ideas. One such source was Education Reforms and Students at Risk: A Review of the Current Sate of the Art. The report cited Pittsburgh’s Prospect Middle School’s Multicultural Center. The school defined the elements of multicultural education as: "1) personal development and interpersonal relations of students; 2) fair and effective approaches to individual differences in learning styles that are believed to be linked to cultural ...

Second, if Middle School students had their choice of courses, it would reflect on the faculty as well as other ...
- 876: Factors Of Parasitic Virulence
- ... temporal (evolutionary) factors is examined. Lenski and May (1994) and Antia et al. (1993) predict the modulation of virulence in parasite-host systems by integrating evolutionary and transmissibility factors. INTRODUCTION Why do certain parasites exhibit high levels of virulence within their host populations while others exhibit low virulence? The two prime factors most frequently cited (Esch and Fernandez 1993, Toft et al. 1991) are evolutionary history and mode of transmission. Incongruently evolved parasite-host associations are characterized by high virulence, while congruent evolution may result in reduced virulence (Toft et al. 1991). Parasites transmitted vertically (from parent to offspring) tend to be less virulent than parasites transmitted horizontally (between unrelated individuals of the same ... equilibrium level of virulence (Lenski and May 1994). DOES COEVOLUTION DETERMINE VIRULENCE? Incongruent evolution is the colonization of a new host species by a parasite. It is widely reported that such colonizations, when successful, feature high virulence due to the lack of both evolved host defenses and parasitic self-regulation (Esch and Fernandez 1993, Toft et al. 1991). Unsuccessful colonizations must frequently occur when parasites encounter hosts with adequate defenses. ...
- 877: Noise Reduction In Hearing Aids
- ... in our environment is omnidirectional. Even though significant benefit can be achieved by “sound focusing”, a directional aid also must perform in an environment with multiple speakers situated around a listener, combined with noise from high priority directions. Signal processing, or digital signal processing (DSP), is partly utilized in amplification in order to narrow the focus from “all” sounds to “speech” sounds. A linear aid will amplify all frequencies equally, limited ... LDFR hearing aid incorporates BILL (bass increase at low levels) circuitry. If it were assumed that most detrimental noise occurs in the low frequencies, then decreasing the low frequency response of a hearing aid at high levels would reduce noise and improve a person’s speech discrimination performance score. This concept seems natural based on the upward spread of masking principle. Since a low frequency sound must travel farther up the basilar membrane, it will mask out a competing higher frequency sound that does not have to travel as far. By reducing low frequency sounds at high levels, a hearing aid could minimize the upward spread of masking, and allow for increased speech reception. According to one study, while it is reasonable to assume that BILL circuitry would be beneficial in ...
