Uses of the Hypergeometric Distribution for Determining Survival or Complete Representation of Subpopulations in Sequential Sampling

This thesis will explore the hypergeometric probability distribution by looking at many different aspects of the distribution. These include, and are not limited to: history and origin, derivation and elementary applications, properties, relationships to other probability models, kindred hypergeometric distributions and elements of statistical inference associated with the hypergeometric distribution. Once the above are established, an investigation into and furthering of work done by Walton (1986) and Charlambides (2005) will be done. Here, we apply the hypergeometric distribution to sequential sampling in order to determine a surviving subcategory as well as study the problem of and complete representation of the subcategories within the population

When the Therapist is Homosexual: An Examination of Therapeutic Outcome Satisfaction

This study investigated the relationship between client satisfaction and therapist sexuality. The current literature had little or no research on the topic. This article defines psychotherapy, noted that most clients perceived psychotherapy was beneficial, and found research stating therapists should consider all ethical implications when working with clients, particularly in regard to how influential therapist can be on their clients. A questionnaire packet was given to participants, and they were asked to complete: a demographic page, and a vignette that included gender and sexuality of therapist, along with a hypothetical treatment plan, a modified version of the CSQ-8 (Attkisson,1977/2011) which measured satisfaction of the hypothetical therapy, and the Homophobia Scale (Wright, 1999), which measured homophobia of participants. Participants included 80 (male = 41, female = 39) college aged students. The results indicated that males appeared to be more homophobic than females. Males and females scored within the same range on the modified CSQ-8. Indicating that sexuality of therapist did not affect the satisfaction of therapy. Further research with a larger, non college population is recommended

Grundtvig and Tolkien on Beowulf: A comparative analysis

Grundtvig and Tolkien on Beowulf: A comparative analysis[En komparativ analyse a f Grundtvigs og Tolkiens syn på heltekvadet Beowulf]Af M.B. BusbeeI 1941 betegnede Kemp Malone J. R. R. Tolkiens nu berømte forelæsning Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics (1936) som Grundtvig i nutidig klædedragt. I 1975 kommenterede Andreas Haarder Malones bemærkninger og hævdede, at Tolkiens konklusioner var hans egne. I stedet for at fortsætte skellet mellem studier af Grundtvig og Tolkien, hvoraf mange henkastet underforstår Grundtvigs indflydelse på Tolkien, er det på tide at revurdere de spørgsmål, der er involveret i Malones påstand og Haarders tilbagevisning.Derfor gennemfører denne artikel en analyse af Tolkiens udkast til hans forelæsning og en sammenligning af den trykte udgave af hans forelæsning og Grundtvigs kritiske kommentarer til digtet skrevet mellem 1815 og 1820.Analyserne foretages med henblik på at genoverveje følgende grundlæggende spørgsmål: Hvad vidste Tolkien om Grundtvig og hans kritik af digtet? Hvilke ligheder er der i de to mænds kritik af Beowulf digtet! Og vigtigst af alt: Trak Tolkien på Grundtvigs kommentarer, da han formulerede sit eget syn på Beowulf eller forsøgte han måske at svare igen

A Few More Words about Beowulf

In September of 1815, Grundtvig published his second article about Beowulf, “Nok et Par Ord om Bjovulfs Drape” [A Few More Words about the Heroic Poem of Beowulf] in Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn [The Latest Scenes ofCopenhagen].i The article was intended to end once and for all the literary feud that had developed between him, Grímur Jónson Thorkelin, who had published the first modern edition of Beowulf, and Peter Erasmus Müller, who had anonymouslyreviewed the edition.ii The article is notable for two main reasons: first, it reveals Grundtvig far ahead of his contemporaries as a scholar of the poem and,second, it displays in full Grundtvig’s aggressive tone when in the heat of debate.In September of 1815, Grundtvig published his second article about Beowulf,“Nok et Par Ord om Bjovulfs Drape” [A Few More Words about the HeroicPoem of Beowulf] in Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn [The Latest Scenes ofCopenhagen].iThe article was intended to end once and for all the literary feudthat had developed between him, Grímur Jónson Thorkelin, who had publishedthe first modern edition of Beowulf, and Peter Erasmus Müller, who had anonymously reviewed the edition.iiThe article is notable for two main reasons: first, itreveals Grundtvig far ahead of his contemporaries as a scholar of the poem and,second, it displays in full Grundtvig’s aggressive tone when in the heat of debate

Non-affiliated Users\u27 Access in Tennessee Academic Libraries

This survey was designed to ascertain how Tennessee public four-year academic libraries were addressing unaffiliated user access to services and resources and related security issues. At one point in time, resources and services were basically limited to the material on the shelf and the personnel employed by the library. Security issues were concerned with student pranks and vandalism and, depending upon location, the issue of vagrants and/or latchkey kids. Access to the building usually meant people had access to all of the material the library had on the shelf and the only question was whether an unaffiliated user could borrow materials
