State accountability systems and the federal No Child Left Behind Act have put additional demands on schools and teachers to improve teacher quality and improve student achievement. Many researchers (e.g., Cohen, 1996; Corcoran & Goertz, 1995; Floden, 1997; Newman, King, & Rigdon, 1997) have argued that such improvements will require a substantial increase in the instructional capacity of schools and teachers. One strategy for capacity building is to provide teachers with incentives to...

Today's communities are diverse in composition, not only ethnically, but also in matters of age, sexual preference, physical and mental ability. However, as different as we all are, there are certain common threads that bind us all together. If libraries are to thrive and serve the whole community, they must respect the differences, but at the same time, celebrate those things we all have in common. The library should be a place where the community can gather. Patrons should feel that they are...

The combuster section of the High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) requires high temperature seals to minimize leakage between CMC components. The temperature requirements range from 1500 F to 2100 F and the compression requirements range from 10% to 50%. Three distinctly different Nextel braided seals have been developed to seal areas such as the bulkhead heatshields and lean zone outer liner. The seals range from 0.10" dia. rope to triangular braid with 1" sides.

An alternative design for dielectric optical microresonators and a relatively simple process to fabricate them have been proposed. The proposed microresonators would exploit the same basic physical phenomena as those of microtorus optical resonators and of the microsphere optical resonators described elsewhere. The resonances in such devices are associated with the propagation of electromagnetic waves along circumferential paths in "whispering-gallery" modes. The main advantage...

Two documents discuss improvements in traps for removing noncondensable gases (e.g., air) from heat-transfer liquids (e.g., water) in spacecraft cooling systems. Noncondensable gases must be removed because they can interfere with operation. A typical trap includes a cylindrical hydrophobic membrane inside a cylindrical hydrophilic membrane, all surrounded by an outer cylindrical impermeable shell. The input mixture of gas bubbles and liquid flows into the annular volume between the membranes....

The objective of this second year was to determine whether anticancer agents influence the expression of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS). GCS is an enzyme which catalyzes ceramide glycosylation and is associated with chemotherapy resistance in cancer cells. Drugs like doxorubicin, cisplatin, etoposide, and taxol cells had no effect on glucosylceramide (GC) mass production in MCF-7 after short-term exposure (30 min-4 hr). After 24 hr, only taxol induced significant GC production. In short-term...

We determine the masses and magnitude difference of the components of the Hyades spectroscopic binary theta(2) Tauri. We find that both components appear to be less massive and/or brighter than predicted from some recent evolutionary models. The rapid rotation and unknown rotational inclination of both components introduce uncertainty in their luminosities and colors, but not enough to reconcile both of them with the evolutionary models. We measured the visual orbit with the Mark III optical...

We present results obtained from three BeppoSAX observations of the accretion-powered transient X-ray pulsar KS 1947+300 carried out during the declining phase of its 2000 November -- 2001 June outburst. A detailed spectral study of KS 1947+300 across a wide X-ray band (0.1--100.0 keV) is attempted for the first time here. Timing analysis of the data clearly shows a 18.7 s pulsation in the X-ray light curves in the above energy band. The pulse profile of KS 1947+300 is characterized by a broad...

We rewrite the exact expression for the finite temperature two-point correlation function for the magnetization as a partition function of some field theory. This removes singularities and provides a convenient form to develop a virial expansion (the expansion in powers of soliton density).

Yet it was claimed that the CD and DC results are sufficiently different and need to be reconciled.

As a discrete approach to genetic regulatory networks, Boolean models provide an essential qualitative description of the structure of interactions among genes and proteins. Boolean models generally assume only two possible states (expressed or not expressed) for each gene or protein in the network as well as a high level of synchronization among the various regulatory processes. In this paper, we discuss and compare two possible methods of adapting qualitative models to incorporate the...
