This study explores the structure of the mental lexicon and the processing of Russian verbal morphology by two groups of speakers, adult American learners of Russian and Russian children aged 4-6, and reports the results of two matching experiments conducted at the University of Maryland, USA and St. Petersburg State University, Russia. The theoretical framework for this study comes from research on the structure of the mental lexicon and modularity in morphological processing. So far, there are very few studies investigating the processing of complex verbal morphology, with most of the work done on Icelandic, Norwegian, Italian, and Russian. The current views are shaped predominantly by research on English regular and irregular past-tense inflection, which has been conducted within two competing approaches. This study investigates the processing of verbal morphology in Russian, a language with numerous verb classes differing in size and the number and complexity of conjugation rules. It assumes that instead of a sharp opposition of regular and irregular verb processing, a gradual parameter of regularity may be more appropriate for Russian. Therefore, the issue of symbolic rule application versus associative patterning can take on a new meaning for Russian, possibly, with the distinction between default and non-default processing replacing the regular-irregular distinction.

This anthology stems from a 2014 conference at the University of Maryland, which focused on how American Jews provided material aid to Holocaust refugees during and after the Holocaust, and also how they began to cope with the catastrophe. This coping involved both an imagining and a re-imagining of “the old country,” a reevaluation of the places American Jews had left behind in more or less normal circumstances before the First World War but in increasingly desperate circumstances after 1918 and, again, after 1939. American Jews who had come to the United States before the 1920s maintained ties with their former communities in Central and Eastern Europe, ties that were fostered by efforts to remain in touch with family and friends and, more generally, with the world’s most populous Jewish communities. Those efforts were aided by the ...

On September 26, 2002, NASA announced that a consortium of six universities including: The University of Maryland, Virginia Tech, The University of Virginia, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina State University, and Georgina Tech had submitted the winning proposal for a National Institute of Aerospace. The Institute began formal operations in January of 2003 in Hampton, VA, and its mission included research, education, outreach, and technology transfer. One important focus of the NIA was to stimulate research among its member universities of potential benefit to NASA and to develop additional partnerships to further NIA focus areas. The work described in this paper is such an activity in bio-inspired actuator materials. This work was originally advocated and developed at Inha University, and it is being extended by teams from Inha University, North Carolina A&T State University, and NASA Langley so that the potential for these actuators as devices for special applications is better understood. This paper focuses on important performance characteristics of electro-active paper (EAPap) actuators and the potential of thes actuators to propel autonomous devices. EAPap is a paper that produces large displacement with small force under an electrical excitation. EAPap is made with chemically treated papers with electrodes on both outer surfaces. When electrical voltage is applied to the electrodes, a tip displacement is produced. One drawback in such actuators is that the actual power produced is variable, and the displacement is relatively unstable. Further, the performance tends to degrade in time and as a function of how the papers are processed. Environmental factors also impact the performance of the product including temperature and humidity. The use of such materials in ambulatory devices requires attention to these concerns and further research is needed to find what initial applications are most congruent with EAPap performance and service lift. In this paper, we have extended the knowledge base of EAPap to include additional ranges of temperature and humidity. We have also looked beyond the current tests on cantilevered beam actuators to segmented plate sections and have tested the ability of these actuators to perform as oscillatory devices both in and out of phase, and to chart their performance vs. time humidity and temperature thus emulating a rudimentary wing or walking assembly.

Christian R. Goldsmith of Auburn University developed (Synlett 2010, 1377) a method for radical chlorination of 1 using commercial peracetic acid. Noritaka Mizuno of the University of Tokyo devised (Nat. Chem. 2010, 2, 478) a bulky polyoxometalate that mediated the selective hydroxylation of the secondary C-H bonds of 3. Christina White of the University of Illinois showed (Science 2010, 327, 566) that Fe-mediated C-H oxidation is sensitive to the expected electronic effects, so that 5 was selectively oxidized to 6. Irena S. Akhrem of the A. N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds established (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 259) that a C-H bond of 7 could be efficiently converted to a C-C bond. Melanie S. Sanford of the University of Michigan extended (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 532) directed palladation to 9, effecting selective acetoxylation of the methyl group. Herman O. Sintim of the University of Maryland observed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 3964) that the O-linked diazoamide 11 selectively cyclized to 12. The corresponding C-linked diazoamide gave only five-membered ring formation. Yasushi Obora and Yasutaka Ishii of Kansai University devised (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 1372) conditions for the selective allylic amination of 13. Marvin J. Miller of the University of Notre Dame developed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 328) the nitrosoisoxazole 16 for the allylic amination of 15. David A. Powell of Merck Frosst established (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 2726) a protocol for the selective amination of the aromatic methyl group of 18. Ying-Yeung Yeung of the National University of Singapore effected (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 2128) selective allylic oxidation of 21 with a hypervalent iodine reagent. Gullapalli Kumaraswamy of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, allylated (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 3916) an amine 23 using commercial aqueous t -BuOOH. Corey R. J. Stephenson of Boston University used (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 1464) visible light to activate 26 for homologation to 27. In the course of a synthesis of the bicyclic nonribosomal peptide celogentin C, isolated from the seeds of the plumed cockscomb Celosia argentea, Gong Chen of Pennsylvania State University took advantage (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 958) of Pd activation to effect specific coupling of the iodoindole 29 with the leucine derivative 28. On a 4-gram scale, this coupling proceeded in 85% yield.

The Impact

Canceling the Big Deal is becoming more common, but there are still many unanswered questions about the impact of this change and the fundamental shift in the library collections model that it represents. Institutions like Southern Illinois University Carbondale and the University of Oregon were some of the first institutions to have written about their own experience with canceling the Big Deal several years ago, but are those experiences the norm in terms of changes in budgets, collection development, and interlibrary loan activity? Within the context of the University of California system’s move to cancel a system-wide contract with Elsevier, how are libraries managing the communication about Big Deals both internally with library personnel as well as externally with campus stakeholders? Three R1 libraries (University of Maryland, University of Oklahoma, and Kansas State University) will compare their data, discuss both internal and external communication strategies, and examine the impact these decisions have had on their collections in terms of interlibrary loan and collection development strategies. The results of a brief survey measuring the status of the audience members with respect to Big Deals, communication efforts with campus stakeholders, and impacts on collections will also be discussed.

If there was any college team that could take the NCAA title from UCLA, it seemed likely that would be one of the talented squads from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Three teams were especially talented. The University of Maryland, coached by Charles “Lefty” Driesell, billed itself as the UCLA of the East. Coach Dean Smith’s University of North Carolina was a proven team. And North Carolina State University, coached by Norm Sloan, was deep in talent and desire.

Method Approach

Service learning represents a key intersection between the academy and the community. Institutions give back to the community through this work done by student hands, which bolsters university brands, as institutions attempt to meet external expectations. Despite the value being provided to colleges and universities through service learning, critical analyses of institutions are underrepresented in the literature. We, therefore, chose here to “study up” and direct our focus to the institution itself. This multi-method approach builds upon previous research with students, faculty, and community partners. We examine communications and materials produced by Minnesota State University, Mankato. Additionally, we interview policymakers within the university who influenced the current trajectory of service learning, as it has descended from an institutional focus to a division of community engagement.

Practicum math lab. The practicum math lab for students in grades 1-6 was implemented by the Connellsville Area School District as part of its Title I program. The purpose of the program is to provide developmental remediation to students who are from three months to a year below grade level so they will have the skills to function at grade level in mathematics in the regular classroom. The program is based on research conducted at the University of Maryland and Kent State University. In struction in the math lab progresses from concrete operations, through problem-solving s ituations, and finally to the symbolic level. Emphasis is on the use of man ipulatives that are common objects that students use in everyday situations. Students receive at least three thirty-minute instructional periods a week in groups of no more than three.

The present article is dedicated to the problems of the organization and planning of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes, gives grounds for the purposes and tasks of such competence-forming activity as part of the “Oriental studies” speciality program, the Russian State University for the Humanities. The article analyzes these competences, as well as forms and methods of their formation and development. The author presents demarcation of scientific knowledge and gives its characteristics: using most general qualities of a subject, objective reasoning, argumentativeness, results verifiability and reproducibility, consistency, practicality, capability to change, anticipating the future, making forecasts, methodological reflection. The author tried to analyze the reflexive component of scientific and research work of students in more detail. The article presents possible reflexive positions in the interaction between the teacher and the student and shows the dynamics of this interaction, i.e. gives a hierarchy of positions which the student can occupy in the educational process depending on how independent they are in their activity. The article also highlights the content of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes on the basis of work with foreign texts in the macro-discourse for the “Oriental studies” speciality. The given foundations of the organization and content of scientific and research work of students have been regularly used in English language classes, as well as in optional forms of scientific activity. The students have shown good results and passion for this kind of work, which confirms the correctness of this approach.
