Bingaman, Deirdre; Eitel, Karla Bradley – Science and Children, 2010
Boulder Creek runs literally in the backyard of Donnelly Elementary School and happens to be on the EPA list of impaired water bodies. Therefore, a unique opportunity for problem solving opened the door to an exciting chance for students to become scientists, while also becoming active in their community. With the help of the Idaho Department of…

Choulakian, V. – Psychometrika, 2008
The aim of this paper is to study the analysis of contingency tables with one heavyweight column or one heavyweight entry by taxicab correspondence analysis (TCA). Given that the mathematics of TCA is simpler than the mathematics of correspondence analysis (CA), the influence of one heavyweight column on the outputs of TCA is studied explicitly…

Bryant, Mark S.; Reeve, Scott W.; Burns, William A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
The linear molecule N[subscript 2]O is presented as an alternative gas-phase species for the ubiquitous undergraduate physical chemistry rotation-vibration spectroscopy experiment. Utilizing a 0.5 cm[superscript -1] resolution teaching grade FTIR spectrometer, 15 vibrational bands, corresponding to 1229 rotation-vibration transitions, have been…

Debnath, Roma Mitra; Shankar, Ravi; Kumar, Surender – Education, Knowledge & Economy: A Journal for Education and Social Enterprise, 2008
Technical institutions (TIs) are playing an important role in making India a knowledge hub of this century. There is still great diversity in their relative performance, which is a matter of concern to the education planner. This article employs the method of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to compare the relative efficiency of TIs in India. The…

Davison, Mark L. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2008
While confirmatory latent growth curve analyses provide procedures for testing hypotheses about latent growth curves underlying data, one must first derive hypotheses to be tested. It is argued that such hypotheses should be generated from a combination of theory and exploratory data analyses. An exploratory components analysis is described and…

Data sharing in autism neuroimaging presents scientific, technical, and social obstacles. We outline the desiderata for a data-sharing scheme that combines imaging with other measures of phenotype and with genetics, defines requirements for comparability of derived data and recommendations for raw data, outlines a core protocol including…

Deboeck, Pascal R.; Boker, Steven M.; Bergeman, C. S. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2008
Among the many methods available for modeling intraindividual time series, differential equation modeling has several advantages that make it promising for applications to psychological data. One interesting differential equation model is that of the damped linear oscillator (DLO), which can be used to model variables that have a tendency to…

Steinley, Douglas; Brusco, Michael J. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2008
A variance-to-range ratio variable weighting procedure is proposed. We show how this weighting method is theoretically grounded in the inherent variability found in data exhibiting cluster structure. In addition, a variable selection procedure is proposed to operate in conjunction with the variable weighting technique. The performances of these…

Derby, Dustin C.; Smith, Thomas J. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2008
A paramount concern on college campuses is drinking. Although research concerning student alcohol use on college campuses is not new, the number of studies within the context of community colleges is scant. This study investigates the factor structure of behavioral consequences data. Results suggested that 2 factors best described the data.…
