Green Bay, Wisconsin : FLES Programs and the Business Community. Is There a Connection?
Color poster with text and images.In Green Bay, Wisconsin, foreign language in the elementary schools or FLES programs are offered in French, German and Spanish. An influx of Mexican and Central American immigrants to the Midwest has launched Spanish into common usage in the Green Bay business community. This study surveyed students and teachers of Spanish in grades 3-12 at public schools in Green Bay. Business professionals from the Green Bay area were interviewed to determine if bilingual applicants were viewed more favorably than monolinguists.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
Probing Hadronic Structure with The Decay
We compute the branching ratio for and
in chiral perturbation theory and find that
both decays should be observable at CEBAF. With sufficiently low thresholds on
the invariant mass a branching ratio of may be observed
for . For the decay
mode we predict a branching ratio of . The dependence of the
M1 and E2 amplitudes on the momentum transfer will provide a useful test of
chiral perturbation theory which predicts variation over the
allowed kinematic range.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, UCSD/PTH 93-06, QUSTH-93-02, Duke-TH-93-4
Microscopes and computers combined for analysis of chromosomes
Scanning machine CHLOE, developed for photographic use, is combined with a digital computer to obtain quantitative and statistically significant data on chromosome shapes, distribution, density, and pairing. CHLOE permits data acquisition about a chromosome complement to be obtained two times faster than by manual pairing
PR interval genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 50 loci associated with atrial and atrioventricular electrical activity
Online reflective diaries - using technology to strengthen the learning experience
Internet based technologies have benefits for students and staff in terms of time and information sharing. Students at the University of Glasgow were required to engage in reflective writing, with tutor support, as part of their course assessment. We examine the benefits of this approach in fostering a deep, holistic approach to learning, student contribution to course development through this reflection, and the issues in support of these activities
