Great Damage

Why does a large institution build in a flood-prone area and how does it respond when flooding causes great damage? This is a case study of a major flood event—the 2008 Iowa–Cedar River flood—and the University of Iowa, whose recovery is expected to cost about US$750 million. The case explores the factors that led a major institution to invest so much of its infrastructure into a flood-prone river shed and then describes and evaluates the decision-making process the University has undertaken with the goal of becoming a more sustainable and resilient campus.

Annual Convention

Abstract Special Interest Division 3 continues to focus on increasing awareness among affiliates of correct coding initiatives, updates on reimbursement guidelines, and a resource for questions regarding coding and reimbursement. In November 2009, Division 3 hosted an update on reimbursement issues for voice clinicians at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's (ASHA) annual convention in New Orleans. The purpose of this article is to summarize a number of case study highlights that were presented at the convention by Sandy Schwartz, Dee Nikjeh, Mary Sandage, Mark Kander, and Edie Hapner

An analysis of citations shows that the “visibility” of a productive experimental psychologist (Isidore Gormezano of the University of Iowa) differed substantially across four different “audiences.” These audiences were literature-users whose citations to his work were identified in the following sources: classical-conditioning chapters in psychology-of-learning textbooks; instrumental/operant-conditioning chapters in the same; publications scanned by the Social Science Citation Index; and those scanned by the Science Citation Index. Aspects of this audience-specific visibility are described and then are discussed in regard to the presumptive unitariness of scholarly reputation.

The University of New Orleans has begun a program to teach microcomputers to blind and visually impaired persons. Twenty-three have been served so far. A software solution was chosen, rather than the use of dedicated equipment, to increase the ability of the students to find jobs in the sighted workplace. This paper focuses on the implementation of the program and the results of the first two sessions.

Collaborative Methodology

This paper describes the development of a disaster resistant community at the University of New Orleans (UNO). It includes the process for obtaining leadership support and “buy in,” for identifying specific expertise within the university community, and for enlisting and ensuring broad stakeholder support and participation in the plan.In late 2004, the author’s research team at the University of New Orleans successfully sought and was subsequently awarded a FEMA-sponsored grant to develop a Disaster Resistant University (DRU). This resulted in the formulation of a comprehensive mitigation plan aimed at identifying and reducing risks throughout UNO’s campus.Early in the planning process, the research team decided that, unlike other universities who had been awarded FEMA DRU grants, it would be important to develop local, “in-house” expertise in disaster resiliency to ensure sustainability. Rather than contracting an external agency to develop the mitigation plan, the researchers decided to leverage the disaster expertise already resident in the UNO community. At the same time, the UNO researchers considered it essential to use a methodology in developing the plan that would ensure representation from a broad range of stakeholders. To do this, the research team utilized a unique collaborative methodology in the hazard identification and mitigation process.

Support Facility

The University of Iowa Central Electron Microscopy Research Facility(CEMRF) was established in 1981 to support all faculty, staff and students needing this technology. Initially the CEMRF was operated with one TEM, one SEM, three staff members and supported about 30 projects a year. During the past twelve years, the facility has replaced all instrumentation pre-dating 1981, and now includes 2 TEM's, 2 SEM's, 2 EDS systems, cryo-transfer specimen holders for both TEM and SEM, 2 parafin microtomes, 4 ultamicrotomes including cryoultramicrotomy, a Laser Scanning Confocal microscope, a research grade light microscope, an Ion Mill, film and print processing equipment, a rapid cryo-freezer, freeze substitution apparatus, a freeze-fracture/etching system, vacuum evaporators, sputter coaters, a plasma asher, and is currently evaluating scanning probe microscopes for acquisition. The facility presently consists of 10 staff members and supports over 150 projects annually from 44 departments in 5 Colleges and 10 industrial laboratories. One of the unique strengths of the CEMRF is that both Biomedical and Physical scientists use the facility.

Occasionally, it is the responsibility of a supervisor to help a staff speech clinician resolve professional and or personal problems that interfere with the delivery of quality services. To deal with this situation, the supervisor must be equipped with the techniques and procedures for effective organizational communication. This article presents a case study in which a speech clinician demonstrated irresponsibility in various job areas. The supervisor’s philosophy and the procedures used in managing these problems are presented. The behavioral changes suggest that the supervisor’s interventive procedures were clinically significant and warrant further investigation.
