Instruction for Quality Service: a Curricular Unit
The purpose of this project was to design an in depth and inclusive curricular unit for quality food service to accommodate an emergent industry. It is intended to meet the needs of students and professionals in culinary or formal training programs. This work is designed to involve various methods of instruction that consider diverse learners and their learning styles. In addition, the author sought to provide a well rounded and inclusive back ground in the history and evolution of food service. Also investigated were the many facets of management and technical skills involved in a real life environment. The project resulted in an 11 week curricular unit that involves effective and thoughtful quality food service skill
Increasing the in-seat behavior of a third grade boy with ADHD using positive reinforcement and self-reinforcement
An ongoing challenge for all teachers, especially special education teachers, is developing intervention programs to control the behavior of their students. The author of this research project attempted to improve the in-seat behavior of a third grade boy with ADHD by implementing a behavior modification program using positive reinforcement and self-reinforcement. The author used positive reinforcement for five weeks before moving on to the self-reinforcement portion for an additional twelve weeks. The purpose was to increase the subject\u27s in-seat behavior while also having him become actively involved in his behavioral program. The results show that the subject\u27s in-seat behavior did increase during both portions of the study which indicates that a program of positive reinforcement and self-reinforcement can be an effective intervention
The effects of ocean eddies on tropical cyclones
Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution September 2012The purpose of this study is to understand the interactions of tropical cyclones with ocean
eddies. In particular we examine the influence of a cold-core eddy on the cold wake
formed during the passage of Typhoon Fanapi (2010). The three-dimensional version of
the numerical Price–Weller–Pinkel (PWP) vertical mixing model has previously been
used to simulate and study the cold wakes of Atlantic hurricanes. The model has not
been used in comparison with observations of typhoons in the Western Pacific Ocean. In
2010 several typhoons were studied during the Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the
Pacific (ITOP) field campaign and Fanapi was particularly well observed. We use these
observations and the 3DPWP to understand the ocean cold wake generated by Fanapi.
The cold wake of Fanapi was advected by a cyclonic eddy that was south of the typhoon
track. The 3DPWP model outputs with and without an eddy are compared with
observations made during the field campaign. These observations are compared to model
outputs with eddies in a series of positions right and left of the storm track in order to
study effects of mesoscale eddies on ocean vertical mixing in the cold wake of typhoons
