Dynamics of local grid manipulations for internal flow problems

The control point method of algebraic grid generation is briefly reviewed. The review proceeds from the general statement of the method in 2-D unencumbered by detailed mathematical formulation. The method is supported by an introspective discussion which provides the basis for confidence in the approach. The more complex 3-D formulation is then presented as a natural generalization. Application of the method is carried out through 2-D examples which demonstrate the technique

Gender Differences in University Student-Athletes' Expressed Levels of Academic and Athletic Motivation

The purpose of this study was to examine possible differences between male and female student-athletes in regard to their expressed levels of academic versus athletic motivation. A survey conducted among 670 student-athletes at five campuses of a large western university system revealed differences between males and females in the level of motivation they expressed for pursuing athletic versus academic success. The survey included a 4 point Likert scale assigned by response for seven scenarios: road trip, preregistration, field trip, graduation choice, final exam study, roommate choice and late start opions. Teams on three of the campuses surveyed compete at the Division I level, whereas teams on the remaining two compete in Division III. At both divisional levels, females expressed greater academic motivation than did their male counterparts. Implications of these results for university administrators and counselors were discussed

Cationic Copolymerization of B-Pinene and Styrene

Cationic polymerizations are the least understood of all polymerization reactions. Perhaps even less understood are copolymerizations using cationic catalysts. Very little can be found in the literature concerning B-pinene and styrene copolymers. This work was done to shed some light on this interesting subject
