Rural Teachers’ Burnout, Well-Being, and COVID-19 Related Stress During the Pandemic
To date, researchers have not explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being of rural teachers specifically. Rural schools already faced long-standing issues of lower salaries, professional isolation, teacher shortages, and technology challenges, suggesting rural teachers may have experienced even higher levels of distress due to the pandemic. Overall, however, teachers from one rural county school system in the southeastern United States reported moderate COVID-19 concerns, low distress, and moderate well-being. Results could reflect responses characteristic of rural resilience. Further study is needed to explore teachers’ unique coping strategies

Building consensus: shifting strategies in the territorial targeting of Turkey's public transport investment
© 2019, © 2019 Regional Studies Association. A growing amount of research explores how the allocation of regional development monies follows electoral reasons. Yet, the existing literature on distributive politics provides different and contrasting expectations on which geographical areas will be targeted. The paper focuses on proportional representation (PR) systems. While in such settings governments have incentives to target core districts and punish foes, it is suggested that when incumbents attempt to build a state–party image they may broaden the territorial allocation of benefits and even target opposition out-groups. The paper exploits data on Turkey's public transport investment for the period 2003–14 and in-depth interviews to provide results in support of the hypothesis.Harvard Emirates Leadership Initiative Fellowshi
Counselor Education and Supervision
Abstract: Approaches to mentoring junior faculty in counselor education departments have received minimal attention in the counseling literature. In this article, the authors describe a successful program based on the 10 principles for good mentoring recommended b
The Circumstellar Environment of the Early B Protostar G192.16-3.84 and the Discovery of a Low-Mass, Protostellar Core
We have observed the massive star forming region associated with the early B
protostar G192.16-3.84 in NH3(1,1), 22.2 GHz water masers, 1.3 cm continuum
emission, and at 850 microns. The dense gas associated with G192.16 is clumpy,
optically thin, and has a mass of 0.9 Msun. The ammonia core is gravitationally
unstable which may signal that the outflow phase of this system is coming to an
end. Water masers trace an ionized jet 0.8" (1600 AU at a distance of 2 kpc)
north of G192.16. Masers are also located within 500 AU of G192.16, their
velocity distribution is consistent with but does not strongly support the
interpretation that the maser emission arises in a 1000 AU rotating disk
centered on G192.16. Roughly 30" south of G192.16 (0.3 pc) is a compact,
optically thick (optical depth = 1.2) ammonia core (called G192 S3) with an
estimated mass of 2.6 Msun. Based on the presence of 850 micron and 1.2 mm
continuum emission, G192 S3 probably harbors a very young, low-mass protostar
or proto-cluster. The dense gas in the G192 S3 core is likely to be
gravitationally bound and may represent the next site of star formation in this
region.Comment: Astrophysical Journal, in press. 20 pages plus 8 figures (jpg

Search for Top Squark Pair Production in the Dielectron Channel
This report describes the first search for top squark pair production in the
channel stop_1 stopbar_1 -> b bbar chargino_1 chargino_1 -> ee+jets+MEt using
74.9 +- 8.9 pb^-1 of data collected using the D0 detector. A 95% confidence
level upper limit on sigma*B is presented. The limit is above the theoretical
expectation for sigma*B for this process, but does show the sensitivity of the
current D0 data set to a particular topology for new physics.Comment: Five pages, including three figures, submitted to PRD Brief Report
Measurement of the Boson Mass
A measurement of the mass of the boson is presented based on a sample of
5982 decays observed in collisions at
= 1.8~TeV with the D\O\ detector during the 1992--1993 run. From a
fit to the transverse mass spectrum, combined with measurements of the
boson mass, the boson mass is measured to be .Comment: 12 pages, LaTex, style Revtex, including 3 postscript figures

Search for a Fourth Generation Charge -1/3 Quark via Flavor Changing Neutral Current Decay
We report on a search for pair production of a fourth generation charge -1/3
quark (b') in pbar p collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron
using an integrated luminosity of 93 pb^-1. Both quarks are assumed to decay
via flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC). The search uses the signatures
gamma + 3 jets + mu-tag and 2 gamma + 2 jets. We see no significant excess of
events over the expected background. We place an upper limit on the production
cross section times branching fraction that is well below theoretical
expectations for a b' quark decaying exclusively via FCNC for b' quark masses
up to m(Z) + m(b).Comment: Eleven pages, two postscript figures, submitted to Physical Review

Search for Production via Trilepton Final States in collisions at TeV
We have searched for associated production of the lightest chargino,
, and next-to-lightest neutralino, , of the
Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in collisions at
\mbox{ = 1.8 TeV} using the \D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron
collider. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.5 \ipb
were examined for events containing three isolated leptons. No evidence for
pair production was found. Limits on
BrBr are
presented.Comment: 17 pages (13 + 1 page table + 3 pages figures). 3 PostScript figures
