\u3ci\u3eExamining the Impact of Parental Involvement in a Dual Language Program: Implications for Children and Schools\u3c/i\u3e

Most native-born, English-speaking Americans – if they understood that developing the native language is good for English and good for longterm academic achievement – would support bilingual education. The problem is, almost none of them have heard the case. They have only heard the disinformation, coming from people who oppose these programs for extraneous (i.e., political) reasons (James Crawford, 1999).https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/facultybooks/1190/thumbnail.jp

Meet our Surgical Interns

We have welcomed an amazing new group of categorical interns, selected from over one thousand applicants to our program. These doctors, who recently matched with Jefferson Medical College (JMC), started on June 20, 2011. Just a few months into their Jefferson surgical residency, we have all noticed their dedication to patient care, their energy and their excitement in joining the Jefferson community. Meet Our Surgical Interns Please welcome (from left to right): Christine Feldmeier, MD, JMC James Crawford, MD, New York University Kate Holoyda, MD, University of Wisconsin Vishen Sooppan, MD, SUNY Upstate - Syracuse Caitlyn Johnson, MD, JMC Jonathan Sarik, MD, JM

Deposition of zinc oxide by spray pyrolysis

The objective of this work was to grow doped ZnO by spray pyrolysis at low temperature. This was achieved via the initial objective of growing ZnO in unhoped-for over a wide range of conditions, in order to understand the growth behaviour of ZnO from Zn(acac)2.H(_2)O and to establish the optimum growth procedure at high and low temperature. Various techniques were employed to characterize the films and thus determine the optimum growth conditions (i.e measurement of film thickness, resistivity, Hall coefficient. X-ray diffraction and reflection electron diffraction to name but a few).With the growth of undoped films it was found that the film properties varied with temperature and moisture content and that the optimum conditions for low temperature growth in a dry ambient were at 200ºC and for high temperature growth in a wet ambient at 300ºC.An analysis of the growth behaviour of ZnO was carried out and it was suggested that there were at least four mechanisms leading to the decomposition of the precursor used (Zn(acac)2.H(_2)O). They were decomposition by miramolecular, mtermolecular, thermolysis and hydrothermolysis processes. A kinetic analysis demonstrated that evaporation was the dominant process which reduced the efficiency of utilization of Zn(acac)(_2).H(_2)O. The growth of doped ZnO in glass and plastic at low temperature using InChl(_3) as a dopant yielded conducting films. The results also showed that films obtained using solutions with low concentrations of Zn(acac)(_2).H(_2)O and high concentrations of InCl(_3) were even more conducting ( p ≈ 10(^-5)Ωm). The morphology of film growth was dominated by the presence of dopant. High temperature growth of doped ZnO in a wet ambient using InCl(_3) also yielded conducting films and these were compared with indium, aluminium and gallium doped films where alternative dopant matericds such as In(acac)(_3), Al(OPr)(_3), AICL(_3) and Ga(acac)(_3) at a variety of different solution concentrations had been used. This was undertaken to discover whether these materials functioned as well as InCl(_3) in producing low resistivity ZnO. Doped films were characterised using the same techniques as before. Elemental analysis, photoluminescence and optical measurements were also carried out on these films. The main conclusions were that : (1) The growth rate of ZnO from Zn(acac)2 .H2O is heavily influenced by the growth temperature and other conditions. (2) The film resistivity was influenced by growth temperature. A minimum in the film resistivity was observed when a growth temperature of 300ºC was used. (3) Undoped ZnO films grown below 200ºC had a different preferred order to those grown above 200ºC.(4) The best high temperature conditions for the deposition of undoped conducting adherent ZnO lay in the region of 276 - 306ºC. (5) The best low temperature conditions for the growth of undoped conducting ZnO were in the region of 200ºC. (6) The low temperature growth (175-200ºC) of doped ZnO produced films with resistivities of the order of l-5xl0(^-5)Ωm and a visible transmittance of 80%. This compares favourably with ZnO:Al and SnO(_2) which have also been grown at low temperature

A study of the settlement of slimes

The purpose of this thesis, as originally planned, was to determine the effect produced by certain substances called electrolytes upon the mill product known as slimes . The subject presented an ever increasing number of new problems as it progressed and some work along the line of several of these branches is embodied in the following pages. Reports of investigation and behavior of slimes when treated for quick settlement are few and unsatisfactory. Our results may prove nothing already unknown, but the fact that so little data is easily accesible sic has been the motive for this thesis --Preface, page 1

Palestinian statehood: trapped between rhetoric and realpolitik

This article considers the legal implications of the Palestinian application for full membership of the United Nations (UN)on 23 September 2011 as well as the Palestinian application for UNESCO membership in October 2011 with particular emphasis on whether the entity under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) satisfies the criteria of statehood and whether the Palestinian application for membership of the United Nations and UNESCO was in accordance with its obligations under the 1993 Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements (‘DOP’) and the 1995 Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (‘Interim Agreement’).. The article also makes reference to the Palestinian attempt to recognise the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in January 2009

Masters and guardians of international investment law: How to play the game of reassertion

Any discussion of reassertion of control by Contracting Parties over international investment law must proceed on the basis of certain assumptions about the nature of the legal order within which it takes place. The intellectual framework for this chapter is provided by the mainstream view of public international law, described by James Crawford in the following terms: It goes without saying – but may go even better by being said – that international law is not the only frame of reference for discussion of international investment matters, nor is it necessarily a better frame than others. Much valuable work in the field is done by scholars with a background in international commercial arbitration, international commercial litigation and domestic public law; by scholars of critical-theoretical or inter-disciplinary persuasions; and by economists and political scientists. But the perspective of public international law, articulated with appropriate modesty and with no necessary claim to greater legitimacy, can at the very least usefully complement these voices. International investment law is public international law. There is nothing conceptually different, innovatory or sui generis about it
