Effects of an undergraduate program to integrate academic learning and service: cognitive, prosocial cognitive, and identity outcomes
The present study investigated the effects of key characteristics of service-learning experiences (such as autonomy, instructional support for the experience, and so on) on the cognitive, moral, and ego identity development of undergraduates. Participants in service-learning courses and control students wrote pre- and post-responses to social problems. Service-learning students· also completed weekly journals and an evaluation of their experiences. Results revealed significant gains for the service-learning participants on certain cognitive dimensions, such as awareness of multidimensionality. Aspects of the experience predicted cognitive gains as well as gains in prosocial reasoning. Paired 1-tests revealed significant increases in prosocial decision-making, prosocial reasoning and identity processing

New Constraints on the 18F(p,alpha) 15O Rate in Novae from the (d,p) Reaction
The degree to which the (p,gamma) and (p,alpha) reactions destroy 18F at
temperatures 1-4x10^8 K is important for understanding the synthesis of nuclei
in nova explosions and for using the long-lived radionuclide 18F, a target of
gamma-ray astronomy, as a diagnostic of nova mechanisms. The reactions are
dominated by low-lying proton resonances near the 18F+p threshold (E_x=6.411
MeV in 19Ne). To gain further information about these resonances, we have used
a radioactive 18F beam from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility to
selectively populate corresponding mirror states in 19F via the inverse
d(18F,p)19F neutron transfer reaction. Neutron spectroscopic factors were
measured for states in 19F in the excitation energy range 0-9 MeV. Widths for
corresponding proton resonances in 19Ne were calculated using a Woods-Saxon
potential. The results imply significantly lower 18F(p,gamma)19Ne and
18F(p,alpha)15O reaction rates than reported previously, thereby increasing the
prospect of observing the 511-keV annihilation radiation associated with the
decay of 18F in the ashes ejected from novae.Comment: Error involving sum rule was corrected. Proton widths were
recalculated using a Woods-Saxon potential. Both low-lying resonances (8- and
38-keV) are now included in the rate band. 12 pages, 4 figures, 1 table.
