An Experimental Intervention Program with Potential Dropouts

The purpose of this study is to incorporate several areas of intervention into one program with potential dropouts to determine if such a strategy would have a greater effect than intervention on a single variable. The subjects were 55 students in the 7th, 8th, or 9th grade, who were identified by the Ector County Independent School District as being at risk of dropping out of school. All subjects participated in academic remediation and counseling for 3 hours each school day for 7 weeks. The subjects were randomly assigned by gender in near equal numbers to either multidimensional counseling, individual counseling, or group counseling. Academic performance, dropout potential, internal/ external perception, and career awareness were examined on the basis of age, gender, ethnicity, and the type of counseling. The results indicated that there were no significant changes in the students performance or attitude

Influence of Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density on UV-BInduced Photoinhibition in Soybean Leaves: Comparison of Preconditioning and Concomitant Light Treatments

Previous studies indicate that the degree of UV-Binduced photosynthetic inhibition may be highly dependent upon the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD, total quantum flux in the waveband 400-700 nm) incident on a plant. This study illustrates that Essex soybean leaves (Glycine max) preconditioned under high PPFD suffered less UV-B-induced photoinhibition than when preconditioned under low PPFD. However, sensitivity to UV-B increased when soybean leaves received high-PPFD as a concomitant treatment. The relative msgnitude of UV-B-induced damage was similar for both light-limited and light-saturated photosynthesis. This probably indicates that UV-B is inhibiting fundamentally different photosynthetic processes. Soybean leaves preconditioned under high PPFD had greater specific-leaf-weight, chlorophyll a/b ratio, and crude flavonoid content. The total chlorophyll concentration of soybean leaves preconditioned under high PPFD increased slightly over a UV-B irradiation period of five hours. Total chlorophyll concentration of leaves preconditioned under low PPFD decreased slightly in response to the same irradiation period

Letter from Charles Warner to his Mother Mrs. Almon Warner, September 6, 1863

Letter from Charles Warner to his mother Mrs. Almon Warner, September 6, 1863. In it he speaks of his practice writing as many letters as possible though apologetic if he had missed sending a note or two back home, and his prospects in the army barring his failure to get a promotion. He also makes note of the practice of dress parade and his negative disposition towards the activity, and that he made a habit out of skipping drill entirely at times. Taken from the Paul W.

Letter from Charles Warner to his mother Mrs. Almon Warner, September 3, 1863

Letter from Charles Warner to his mother Mrs. Almon Warner, September 3, 1863. In it he tells her of the latest developments in camp, namely charges leveled against officers and the latest scuttlebutt among the men. As with some of the other letters he also speaks of the state of food in the army and that soon there will be an officer\u27s mess provided by one of the sutlers, and that in future letters he did not need any more reading material for both lack of time and the fact that he already possessed enough to keep him busy with what little he did.

Letter from Charles Warner to his mother Mrs. Almon Warner, August 28, 1863

Letter from Charles Warner to his mother Mrs. Almon Warner, August 28, 1863. In this partial letter to his mother, he tells her a bit of his troubles with his superiors because of sleeping through roll call due to late guard duty. Through the rest of the letter he turns to the poor food offered by the regimental sutlers and the state of his finances since he was last paid. Taken from the Paul W.
