The main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the Summer Training Program (STP) on vocational development of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. To test this relationship a sample of 615 first-class midshipmen and 615 second-class midshipmen from the classes of 2O02-2O04 completed a survey regarding their experiences on summer cruise. Survey answers were grouped into several factors derived from a review of the literature in vocational psychology. The relationship between these factors and warfare community preferences of the respondents were analyzed using cross- tabulations, univariate tests and multivariate models. Cross-tabulations showed that only 25% of midshipmen change their warfare community preference during the last two years at the Academy. Independent Pearson Correlations (r) showed the effect of each of the different factors on warfare community selection. Of the different variables identified gender, academic major, running-mate qualification/experience, and ship morale were found to have an impact on the intention to select surface warfare at the conclusion of the summer training experience. The multivariate models (logit) verified that the above variables were significant in determining the choice of warfare community and also showed that observed ship morale was the dominant factor above all others in helping to form career interests., The original document contains color images.

During the second year of support by the grant DAMDl7-98-l-8042 (The Idea Grant) we focused on the following projects: 1) Further development of signal-regulated, cleavage-mediated toxins. During this year, we completed the work on the CUP9-mediated, HIV protease-dependent conditional toxins. A paper describing these results is nearly finished, and will be submitted for publication this summer. 2) The effort of the previous two years to construct better portable degrons (degradation signals) that can be used, in particular, for designing of conditional toxins was successful. A paper describing these results was published at the end of 1999 (Suzuki & Varshavsky. Degradation signals in the lysine-asparagine sequence space. EMBO J. 18:6017-6026, 1999). 3) In 1999, we completed the construction of a bivalent inhibitor of the N-end rule pathway, a useful reagent for conditional-toxin projects, and published this new approach (Kwon & Varshavsky. Bivalent inhibitor of the N-end rule pathway. J. Biol. Chem. 274:18135-18139, 1999). 4) Other projects that encompass the subject of this grant are under way. They are briefly described below.

On June 20,1999, President Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin agreed to the "Joint Statement Between the United States and the Russian Federation Concerning Strategic Offensive and Defensive Arms and Further Strengthening of Stability" that called for discussions later this summer on a third Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START III) treaty and on strengthening the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. According to Administration officials, these discussions will begin in Moscow on August 17th. However, serious questions remain over whether the Administration's commitment to continued reductions in nuclear arsenals and past treaties in particular, the 1972 AEM Treaty will serve to increase or decrease American security in a rapidly changing and increasingly dangerous international environment.

Thirteen automated stations were constructed, deployed and maintained along the California coast and from 10 May through 15 October 1994 and between Piedras Blancas, CA to Gold Beach, OR from 12 May through 20 October 1996. A major result of this study is the measurement of the summer atmospheric marine layer structure between central Oregon and California. This includes the coastal and buoy winds, the inversion base height, the inversion top height and inversion strength. The summer marine boundary layer along Southern Oregon and to past Point Conception California and beyond 124 W is supercritical or near supercritical a majority of the time. For every major cape and many minor capes, there is a supercritical expansion fan is on the southern side where the marine layer flow accelerates and thins. On the upwind side of every major cape On the upwind side of every major cape is a compression bulge where the marine layer thickens and slows.

Selected incoming freshmen "at risk" students were admitted to the Engineering and Science Summer Research Program with the intent of introducing these students to the classroom and research environment at Vanderbilt University, in addition to presenting to them the wide range of professional opportunities available. Participants also included high school teachers and counselors (previous program participants). The program included workshops, courses, computer skills, field trips, and research projects designed to enhance the probability of academic success. The program appears to have been successful in increasing the academic performance of this group of "at risk" students.

Three surface moorings were recovered and redeployed during R/V Thomas Thompson cruise number 73 in the eastern equatorial Pacific as pan of the Pan American Climate Study (PACS). PACS is a NOAA-funded study with the goal of investigating links between sea-surface temperature variability in the tropical oceans near the Americas and climate over the American continents. The three moorings were deployed near l25 deg W, spanning the strong meridional sea-surface temperature gradient associated with the cold tongue south of the equator and the warmer ocean north of the equator, near the northernmost, summer location of the Intertropical Convergence Zone. The moored array was deployed to improve the understanding of air-sea fluxes and of the processes that control the evolution of the sea surface temperature field in the region. Two surface moorings, located at 3 eg S, 125 deg W and 10 deg N, 125 deg W, belonging to the Upper Ocean Processes (UOP) Group at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), were recovered after being on station for eight months and redeployed. Two eight-month deployments were planned. A third mooring deployed at the equator and 128 deg W by the Ocean Circulation Group at the University of South Florida (USF) was also recovered and redeployed. The USF mooring, unfortunately, had to be recovered immediately following redeployment due to a problem with the buoy and instrumentation. The buoys of the two WHOI moorings were each equipped with meteorological instrumentation, including a Vector Averaging Wind Recorder (VAWR), and an Improved Meteorological (IMET) system. The WHOI moorings also carried Vector Measuring Current Meters, single point temperature recorders, and conductivity and temperature recorders located in the upper 200 meters of the mooring line.

The results summarized herein are based on subaerial beach profiles taken on the Atlantic Ocean at Sandbridge, VA, which has experienced an average historic erosion rate of about 2 m/year for more than 120 years before seawall construction began in 1980. The purpose of this ongoing study is to determine, from statistically defendable data, whether or not the 15 different walled sections increase the existing erosional trend at adjacent, nonwalled beaches. Fifteen years of survey data are employed with eight to nine years of variable data taken before wall construction peaked in 1989. The main focus of these results is on 5 full wave years of monthly and poststorm survey data taken at 28 locations (16 walled locations (62 percent), totaling 4,470 m and 12 nonwalled locations (38 percent), totaling 2,950 m) since October 1990. Three time scales (historic, seasonal, storms) and three analysis methods were used to address three questions concerning the effects of seawalls on adjacent beaches. It has been determined that volume erosion rates are not higher in front of seawalls. However, seasonal variability of sand volume in front of walls is greater than at nonwalled locations. Walled beaches were found to recover about the same time as nonwalled beaches for both seasonal transitions (winter to summer) and following erosional storm events.
