Passive retention/expulsion methods for subcritical storage of cryogens: Test plan, subscale dual-screen-liner retention/expulsion system

A test program is described to demonstrate liquid-free gas venting of a subcritically stored cryogen using a passive retention/expulsion system. The test plan is specifically aimed at verifying this capability for the dual-screen-liner concept, independent of gravity level and direction. In addition, the test is designed to yield operational characteristics data for the dual-screen-liner, including: tank filling, frequency and duration of venting, cryogen temperature and pressure histories, sensitivity of pressure relief control, and the ability of the passive device to provide communication between the vapor annulus and bulk regions. Normal l-g aircraft and drop tower tests using nitrogen as the test liquid are discussed

Oral History Interview: Willie Hise

This interview is one of series conducted concerning Oral Histories of African-American women who taught in West Virginia public schools. Willie Hise began teaching in Aracoma High School in West Virginia during the 1940s. She gives us detailed information about her family throughout the interview, including her father (who was a miner and a deacon of a Baptist church), her children (including a son who participated in ROTC), family life during childhood, as well as her husband and her marriage. She also tells us about activities (social and personal) during her childhood. Her education is also discussed in detail, and she attended West Virginia State College and Cornell University. She was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and discusses a protest by an African-American at Cornell. Although she considered being a nurse, she became a teacher and tells us about her career history: coming to work at Aracoma High; teaching at Holden Junior High School and Logan Junior High; the desegregation of schools; teachers she knew; changes she sees in modern students; her own teaching methods; and activities at her children\u27s schools (such as band). World War II is an important discussion point since her husband & family served in that war and she worked in Washington notifying next of kin of servicemen who had died. Church and religion is also important (she converted to Catholicism and discusses that decision and process as well as Catholic churches). Race relations, segregation, and racism are discussed, such as the double-burden of sexism and racism faced by black women (especially with job opportunities), segregation, and a brief section on the Ku Klux Klan. She also discusses women\u27s rights and her own independence, as well as running her household. There are numerous other topics as well, such as: social organizations in Logan and her social life there; her interested in sewing and clothing design; thoughts about her life in general; thoughts on the elderly; health problems; an incident of prejudices faced by Logan County students; and many other subjects. The interview also contains a section that defines the philosophy behind this oral history project and how the interviewers narrowed down the teachers they would interview.https://mds.marshall.edu/oral_history/1579/thumbnail.jp

Attrition, mobility, and retention patterns of public-school teachers

Attracting and retaining teachers may be a problem in many rural school districts. According to previous research, teacher attrition is greater in rural regions due to various demographic and other factors. Retention was also cited as a key issue in these rural school districts. The number of teachers quitting their professions before they can retire has risen drastically. In addition, teachers in rural schools and in some suburban and urban places confront obstacles such as lack of resources, little support, poor pay, inconsistent professional development opportunities, and inadequate preparation that cause them to lose their enthusiasm for teaching. Therefore, this study was carried out to understand the educators\u27 attrition and mobility in their first five years of work and the retention practices used by education institutions to reduce attrition and mobility. In particular, the research evaluated the factors influencing teacher mobility, attrition, and retention in U.S. public schools. Data was collected from National Center for Education Statistics and concentrated on Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). The study used salary received by teacher at different education levels as the main factors influencing mobility, retention, and attrition. Correlation and regression analyses were the inferential tests used. Results showed there were significant associations between salary for the teachers with Bachelor\u27s and Master’s; degrees with experience of 10 years and mobility, retention, and attrition compared to the teacher with no experiences. Further, the findings illustrated that the different salary received by teachers of different education levels with 10 years or without experiences have a mixed influence on the mobility, retention, and attrition of teachers. In conclusion, the study showed that teacher compensation is an important factor in determining whether there will be an increase in the rate of mobility, retention, and attrition

Interview with Sandra Hise

Sandra Hise is one of the original Auntie’s in the Auntie Sewing Squad. She’s done all sorts of work from being a Sewing and Care Auntie. She’s sewn, ran errands, shared materials, as well as provided support and tutelage to the new members. She is a retired high school English and Media Arts teacher from the Los Angeles Unified School District. She grew up in Los Angeles, California but made many trips back to the South to visit her family. It was in her teens that her mistrust for organized religion and zeal for social justice was born, as she lived through the radical and social unrest of the 1960s. Mutual aid and helping others is nothing new to Sandra Hise, so joining the Auntie Sewing Squad was a perfect fit.https://digitalcommons.csumb.edu/auntiesewing_interviews/1010/thumbnail.jp

Parent Responses to Children’s Oral Reading Miscues During At-Home Reading Experiences

Two hundred twenty-five miscues made by fifteen children reading to their parents were categorized according to miscue type and parent response. Results indicate a strong parental reliance upon supplying words or providing decoding instruction when their children miscue while reading orally. This is in response to a large number of miscues made by the children in sounding out a word or hesitating when approaching a word. Miscue-response pairings were also considered according to the response\u27s emphasis on decoding or obtaining meaning from the story. One third of the 212 miscue-response pairs that could be used toward answering this question emphasized accurate decoding. The remaining two-thirds emphasized obtaining meaning from the text. Several factors could have biased these results, including lack of training by parents in the strategies of teaching reading

Transformative Education: Using Ignatian Pedagogy to Teach Business Ethics

Many have suggested that a Jesuit education can be transformative. This result is not surprising, as the conventional elements of Transformational Learning (TL) all can be found in the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP). This paper reports a case study of applying the IPP to the teaching of Business Ethics. Included are a review of the similarities between TL and the IPP, and a description of the application of the IPP to the specific class in Business Ethics. Finally the transformational changes that occur with the use of the IPP are addressed
