An Investigation of Attitudes Towards the Objectives of and the Preparation for Junior High School Teaching as Expressed by Selected Central Washington State College Graduates

It was the original purpose of this study to determine the attitudes of the 1962-1966 Central Washington State College graduates, who were placed in junior high school teaching positions, towards the preparation they received for junior high teaching at Central Washington State College

Eric Priest carefully removed the paper wrapping from a small box and wordlessly inspected the pewter clock inside and the words engraved on the surface: “Eric Priest, Thanks For Adding Time To My Life. Phil Jones July 4, 2012

An availability study for a SME

A case study of an availability analysis for a small commercial company is presented. The analysis was carried out to meet a customer requirement for the availability of an electronic ground-based system in a benign environment. Availability calculations were based on failure data provided and an explanation of the methodology and problems encountered and dealt with are discussed. The methodology includes failure classification according to MIL-HDBK-781A and how it may be used to promote and develop internal processes. A commentary on the background to reliability/availability specification is provided and a number of recommendations for monitoring reliability and availability are given

HQ AMC GO 5, Missile Intelligence Directorate, US Army Missile Command, Huntsville, Alabama, 19 January 1968.

This order established the Missile Intelligence Directorate (MID) as an intelligence agency assigned to the US Army Missile Command to “… develop, maintain, and disseminate foreign scientific and technical intelligence concerning ground forces, surface-to-surface, surface-to-air, and anti-ballistic missile systems in response to valid Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and Army Materiel Command production requirements.” This order established the second intelligence production organization within the Army Materiel Command. The first being the US Army Foreign Science and Technology Center

A light in the dark: using cabled seafloor observatories to study abundance and behaviour of seafloor megafauna in response to environmental change

Surface primary productivity forms the base of most marine food webs and contributes significantly to global carbon cycling, providing a key link from surface to seafloor. High seasonal primary productivity along temperate latitude coastlines provides crucial nutrients for seafloor communities, driving spatiotemporal patterns in abundance, behaviour, biodiversity, and distribution of benthic megafauna. Many factors, including ocean warming, deoxygenation, and increasing frequency and duration of marine heatwaves (MHW), may alter the dynamics governing primary production, threatening benthic organisms that depend on the seasonal input of phytodetritus for food. The focus of this thesis is to make use of two seafloor observatories, NEPTUNE near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and a new platform in Conception Bay, NL, to examine variability in abundance, behaviour, and composition of seafloor communities in response to environmental change across temporal scales. First, the response of the deep-sea pink urchin Strongylocentrotus fragilis to a recent MHW on the continental margin off the coast of Vancouver Island was investigated using a combination of benthic trawls (2004-2018) and seafloor observatory data (2013-2020). Sea urchin density declined during the MHW, likely in response to reduced kelp subsidies from coastal waters. Next, the new Holyrood Underwater Observatory in Conception Bay was used to study benthic community response to the spring phytoplankton bloom. High-frequency variability in seafloor environmental dynamics was documented during the winter-spring transition, and the unexpected emergence of >200 sea cucumbers (Psolus sp.) coinciding with the arrival of phytodetritus at the seafloor was observed. These data will provide a baseline against which to monitor changes in phenology as climate change progresses. This work comes at a critical point in ocean observing as we approach global climate tipping points. Now more than ever, it is essential to document the current state of marine communities to understand and predict community responses to changing ocean conditions, and to sustainably manage ocean resources

The Joint Concept Development and Experimentation Campaign Plan FY2004-2011

As the Department of Defense (DOD) Executive Agent for Joint Experimentation, USJFCOM develops a broad, multi-year, iterative Campaign Plan for the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. Principal authorities for development of this campaign plan are found in the Secretary's Transformation Planning Guidance and the Chairman's Joint Experimentation Guidance.2 This plan has been developed through extensive collaboration with Combatant Command, Service, Joint Staff, Office of the Secretary of Defense and selected interagency and multinational partners. The strategy and methodology described in this plan have been in execution for over one year. The campaign has already improved joint warfighting and resulted in innovative joint concepts.
