FY 1998 Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring Report

This report was superseded by an amended FY 1998 compliance monitoring report prepared by Eric W. Weatherby, Juvenile Probabation Officer IV, Alaska Division of Juvenile Justice, July 2001.The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) mandates removal of status offenders and nonoffenders from secure detention and correctional facilities, sight and sound separation of juveniles and adults, and removal of juveniles from adult jails and lockups. In Alaska, 3 instances of status offenders held in secure detention were recorded in FY 1998, compared with 485 violations in the baseline year of CY 1976. 2 separation violations were recorded in FY 1998, representing a 99.8% reduction from the CY 1976 baseline of 824 violations. 57 jail removal violations were projected (52 (actual), representing an 93% reduction from the CY 1980 baseline.Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Family and Youth ServicesA.

A study for development of aerothermodynamic test model materials and fabrication technique

A literature survey, materials reformulation and tailoring, fabrication problems, and materials selection and evaluation for fabricating models to be used with the phase-change technique for obtaining quantitative aerodynamic heat transfer data are presented. The study resulted in the selection of two best materials, stycast 2762 FT, and an alumina ceramic. Characteristics of these materials and detailed fabrication methods are presented

The Relationship Between Young Women\u27s Large and Small Friendship Networks, Self-reported Preferences and the Influence of Popular Fashion Magazine Readership

Friendship networks impact self-perceived body images, appearance, popularity, attractiveness, style, pressure, and self-consciousness. This study examines both large and small friendship networks and young women\u27s popular fashion magazine readership. Eighty-seven senior high school young women completed a 22-question survey to determine placement in large or small networks. The survey was used to determine questions later discussed in the report. Significant differences were found between females in large and small networks with regard to attractiveness and style after reading fashion magazines. No other variables were found to be significant

Local growth of icosahedral quasicrystalline tilings

Icosahedral quasicrystals (IQCs) with extremely high degrees of translational order have been produced in the laboratory and found in naturally occurring minerals, yet questions remain about how IQCs form. In particular, the fundamental question of how locally determined additions to a growing cluster can lead to the intricate long-range correlations in IQCs remains open. In answer to this question, we have developed an algorithm that is capable of producing a perfectly ordered IQC, yet relies exclusively on local rules for sequential, face-to-face addition of tiles to a cluster. When the algorithm is seeded with a special type of cluster containing a defect, we find that growth is forced to infinity with high probability and that the resultant IQC has a vanishing density of defects. The geometric features underlying this algorithm can inform analyses of experimental systems and numerical models that generate highly ordered quasicrystals.Comment: 13 pages, 15 figures, 1 tabl

Forgotten Glory: African American Civil War Soldiers and Their Omission from Civil War Memory

African American soldiers were a central aspect of the Union Army’s effort to defeat the Confederate Army in the Civil War, yet their contributions were forgotten by white American society in the fifty years following the end of the conflict. Their contributions were absent in the various forms of commemoration that were performed and constructed after the war, including monuments, Memorial Day services, and veterans’ reunions. Through examining these forms of commemoration, as well as Emancipation Day celebrations, certain trends become apparent. African American veterans were excluded from Civil War memory through physical segregation both physically and in the language used in these forms of commemoration. Reunification, or “the Union cause,” was remembered by white American society as the dominant outcome of the Civil War, while white Americans ignored the Emancipation cause that African American soldiers fought for and achieved. African American soldiers were left out of white America’s public memory of the Civil War through ignoring the Emancipation causem as well as their segregation from avenues of commemoration. Ultimately, Civil War memory was a segregated memory
