1. Developing Literate Voices: The Challenge of Whole Language.

Author

Villaume, Susan Kidd and Worden, Thomas

Abstract

Suggests that the essence of whole language is students developing literate voices. Discusses a seven-month partnership in which the authors participated in and reflected on literature discussions with small groups of fourth graders. Explores how literate voices are developed in real classrooms. (RS)

4. An Investigative Study of Teachers' Reading Preferences and Related Classroom Practices.

Author

Worden, Thomas W. and Noland, Ronald

Abstract

Notes that while teachers see the value of reading, they personally prefer to watch television in their leisure time. In addition, they prefer to engage their students in independent activities not necessarily related to reading tasks than to encourage them to read books or listen to books being read. (FL)

5. Adapting Tutorial Techniques to Perceptual Modalities of Deficient Readers.

Author

Worden, Thomas W. and Franklin, Mary R.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects on reading of matching perceptual strengths of second- and third-grade, below average readers. Experimental groups consisted of 24 predominantly visual and 24 predominantly kinesthetic learners. Gains were significant for experimentals over controls in word recognition and reading comprehension. (Author/BS)

8. A Comparison of the US Air Force Fitness Test and Sister Services' Combat-Oriented Fitness Tests

Author

AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, Worden, Thomas E., AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, and Worden, Thomas E.

Abstract

This research explores how the United States Air Force Physical Fitness Test (AFPFT) events compare to sister-services' physical fitness test events with respect to their predictability of combat capability. Multiple regression tools, non-parametric analyses, and chi2 contingency table hypothesis testing were utilized to test hypotheses about performances and determine associations between involved variables. AFPFT scores had minimal predictability (adj R2 0.2045) [but improved when raw data replaced scoring sheets, pushups have no maximum, and abdominal circumference and age are removed (adj R2 0.7703)]. Higher Body Mass Index (BMI) predicts higher combat capability (p-value 0.0208). The best two-event model incorporated a 1/2-mile run and 30-lb. dumbbell lifts (adj R2 0.8514), and the best three-event model also incorporates pushups with no maximum (adj R2 0.8819). Completion of the fireman's carry has a dependency on both BMI >25 (p-value 0.00152) or a waist >32.5" (p-value 0.00521). Improvement in peer stratifications from the AFPFT to combat capability has a dependency on BMI >25 (p-value 3.19E-7), even with abdominal circumference excluded from the scoring (p-value 0.00586). Women were found to have lower combat capability than men (p-value 0.0003). Those who could not pass the fireman?s carry were found to have lower combat capability (p-value 0.0002)., The original document contains color images.

18. Fermentation-Derived Insect Control Agents.

Author

Walker, John M., Hall, Franklin R., Menn, Julius J., Sparks, Thomas C., Thompson, Gary D., Kirst, Herbert A., Hertlein, Mark B., Mynderse, Jon S., Turner, Jan R., and Worden, Thomas V.

Abstract

Many insect pests present an ongoing battle between the grower's ability to control the pest and the pest's ability to resist the available control methods Several well-known examples include the Colorado potato beetle on potatoes, the diamondback moth on vegetable crops, and the Hehothis complex on cotton. The discovery of new, novel insect control agents for use against these and other insect pests has served as a focal point for insecticide research for more than four decades [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The spinosyns are a new class of fermentation-derived insect controlagents that are effective against a variety of chewing insect pests.The successful introduction of spinosad into the agricultural marketplace represents an important milestone in the use of natural products for commercial pest control. The development of a natural product presents additional limitations relative to a synthetic material. While the latter affords some degree of control in building appropriate physical attributes such as photostability, a natural product, designed to function in a different environment, is often less suited for traditional spray applications. Despite its intrinsic photolability, spinosad is stable enough to perform under field conditions. In an effort to generate analogs with improved physical characteristics, we have developed a variety of conditions for selectively modifying different portions of the molecule, and we have discovered analogs with greater activity against a broader spectrum of pests. The inability to translate improved greenhouse activity to actual field conditions resulted in a detailed study of the effects of formulations and crystallinity on biological activity. Through this effort, measurably improved field performance of synthetic spinosyn analogs relative to the natural product have now been observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
