COMPARATIVE FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE FEEDING APPENDAGES AND ASSOCIATED STRUCTURES OF THE TROPICAL FRESHWATER SHRIMPS ATYA INNOCOUS (HERBST) AND POTIMIRIM GLABRA (KINGSLEY)
Description:
Atya innocous occurs in permanent and temporary freshwater streams in Panama. Its microhabitat distribution depends in part on the presence of congeners. The propodus and dactylus of each cheliped of A. innocous bear about 300 setae... The peropods are also used to groom body parts and brooded embryos. Super-8 cine films show the role mouthparts play in grooming. The third maxillipeds groom the antennae and antennules of the prawn, with the distal endite of the second... Electron microscopy showed pores leading to unicellular glands within the epidermis. Three gland types were observed and their respective functions described. Adaptations for a lotic habitat seem to have dominated atyid evolution. With the exception of lake species, most atyid shrimp have a wide array of morphological modifications for life in running water. The mouthparts, mandibles and foregut of Atya innocous and another atyid Potimirim glabra are compared to test the hypothesis that these structures are related to diet. Potimirim glabra inhabits quiet pools scraping periphyton from leaf...

THE EFFECTS OF READABILITY AND MACROSIGNALS ON THE COMPREHENSION AND RECALL OF INSTRUCTIONAL TEXT
Description:
This study investigated the effects of macrosignals, readability level, and training in a reading strategy on 241 high school students' comprehension and recall of a reading passage. Half of the students studied a reading strategy that uses macrosignals to enhance comprehension and aid recall. The remaining participants received instruction on conversions in the metric system. One week after the instruction, the students read one of four versions of the experimental reading passage about the Stone Ages: high readability/with macrosignals, high readability/without macrosignals, low readability/with macrosignals... The with-macrosignals versions included title, headings and subheadings, topic sentences, prequestions, introduction, and summaries. The without macrosignals versions included none of these textual cues. The high readability version was... After the 30-minute period allowed for reading the passage, the students responded to the "Ease of Reading Scale" on which they reported symptoms of comprehension and lack of comprehension. Then the students answered twenty multiple... A multiple regression analysis revealed no interactions between treatments or between treatments and reading abilities. The analysis also indicated that the macrosignals and training in the reading strategy had no significant effects on... Macrosignals may have failed to have an effect because students possessed enough prior knowledge and necessary schemata to construct the relationship between their existing knowledge and the details of the passage. The high readability... The attribute variables (prior knowledge and reading ability) had the greatest influence on comprehension scores, an intermediate effect on delayed recall scores, and the least influence on students' reported ease in reading.

A STUDY OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE PUBLIC POLICY: THE EFFECT OF U.S. PAROLE COMMISSION REPAROLE GUIDELINES
Description:
The U.S. Parole Commission in 1974, initiated parole decision guidelines articulating a national cohort justice parole policy model which theoretically reduced criticism of arbitrary and capricious decision-making. In 1976, reparole... This dissertation examines reparole decision-making and attempts to demonstrate an alternative policy which would reduce criticism of "fixed and mechanical" decision-making, and the potential for the appearance of unfairness in weighting... Lastly, the study attempts to discover if by the employment of decision-making parole guidelines, there is produced an unwelcomed policy by-product, what Robert Merton calls goal displacement. He expresses goal displacement as strict... The study findings demonstrated that generally the introduction of violation guidelines structured discretion well and did not appear to have a "chilling effect" on the exercise of discretion where warranted. In respect to the efficacy of pre-quideline (clinical) parole decision-making and supervision, recidivism data failed to demonstrate "relative improvement", to the contrary data suggested an increase in reported crime severity violation... Lastly, an alternative reparole policy is suggested by the writer which incorporates an existing parole risk "Burgess" type actuarial instrument that should reduce the potential criticism of "fixed and mechanical" decision-making, as... Unfortunately for the U.S. Parole Commission the development of a cohort justice model for parole decision-making may have created an unwelcomed dysfunctional agency by-product of power emasculation, in that pending congressional...

TESTING WHETHER NEW IS BETTER THAN USED OF A SPECIFIED AGE
Description:
This research contributes to the theory and methods of testing hypotheses for classes of life distributions. Two classes of life distributions considered in this dissertation are: (1) The New Better Than Used (NBU) Class: The life... The NBU and NBU-t(, 0) classes have dual classes (New Worse Than Used and New Worse Than Used At t(, 0), respectively) defined by reversing the inequality. The NBU-t(, 0) class is a new class of life distributions and contains the NBU class. We study the basic properties of the NBU-t(, 0) class and propose a test of H(, 0): F(x+t(, 0))(' )=(' )F(x)F(t(, 0)) for all x (GREATERTHEQ) 0, versus H(, A... We extend our test of H(, 0) versus H(, A) to accommodate randomly censored data. For the censored data situation our test is based on the statistic (DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI) where F is the Kaplan-Meier (1958, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 53, 457-481) estimator of(' )F. Under mild regularity conditions on the amount of censoring, a consistent test of H(, A) for the randomly censored model is obtained. In Chapter III we develop a two-sample NBU test of the null hypothesis that two distributions F and G are equal, versus the alternative that F is "more NBU" than is G. Our test is based on the statistic (DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI) where m and n are the sample sizes from F and G, and F(, m) and G(, n) are the empirical distributions of F and G. Asymptotic normality of T(, m, n), suitably normalized, is a direct consequence of Hoeffding's (1948, Ann. Math. Statist. 19, ... Our test of H(, A) utilizes the Kaplan-Meier estimator. However, there are other possible estimators of the survival function for the randomly censored model. . . . (Author's abstract exceeds stipulated maximum length....
