- The purpose of this introductory course is to serve
as a guide and manual to the Arab instructor. It is an aid
to help solve the problems of teaching English as a foreign
language. The differences in structure and sounds and in the
cultures reflected by the two contrasting languages create
tremendous obstacles for the native Arab who is learning
English, since he tends to transfer the properties of Arabic
to English. With this in mind, I planned this introductory
course to establish fundamentals of language in the learner's
mind..

- A dual purpose furnace was constructed and used to obtain F
16 3center densities up to 6 X 10 centers/cm in natural sodium chloride
by additive coloration methods. The sample crystal was heated to
temperatures around 600° C in a vacuum of 45 mm mercury in the presence
of sodium metal vapor. The colored crystal was quenched to room tempera-
ture in CH^Cl,.. and the spectrum was obtained at various temperatures. The
absorption energies were obtained from direct analysis of the spectrum,
and F center densities estimated from Smakula's equation assuming the
oscillator strength. Experiments without quenching were performed and
Na - NaCl Colloidal centers were observed. The K band and F aggregate
centers, and were also present. The effects of impurities, in
the natural NaCl crystals used, as seen by Mooradian (24) are not present
and perhaps are due to his method of coloration by x-radiation. All
results are in experimental agreement with other published results for
NaCl.

- The discovery of antitoxins to both diphtheria and tetanus toxins
dramatically introduced two immunological phenomena to twentieth-century
science. First, biologically active molecules, such as toxins and
enzymes, may have the potential to be neutralized by antibody; secondly,
this gave the first proof of the existence of specific antibodies. These
findings sparked a determination to reveal the actual mechanism of
combination of antigens and antibodies, and introduced some of the
concepts and techniques of physics and chemistry into the field of
immunology.

- According to Byron Massialas the traditional image of
a teacher has been one of an older maiden lady who has de
voted her entire life and love to teaching children. She
was not likely to be outspoken on political issues nor
influential in educational decisions. She was supposed to
live a "moral" life, abstain from controversy, and train
children to support the prevailing social order. She was to
be compliant and in no way participative.

- Die casting is the metal working process by which molten metal
is forced into steel molds, under pressure, in order to form simple or
complex parts with a rapid cycle and little labor. Die casting is the
fastest of all casting processes; it is most often employed where
rapidity and economy in production are essential. Production rates up
to 500 casting cycles per hour are possible with suitable automatic
machines.This process ranks with stamping, die forging, plastic
molding, powder metallurgy and production by screw machine when large
quantities of identical parts are required. One need only look about himself and he would find die castings are involved in almost every activity. Die casting is a major industry and constantly claiming more importance in the industrial field. An
industry itself, die casting employs many skilled technicians,
engineers, operators, die makers, metallurgists, just to name a few.
Why is it, then, that the common man in today's society knows little
about die casting?

- Description:
- Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a very useful tool to
study atomic structure where energy level differences are on the order
of I Oyev to lOOyev. The first successful experiment was performed
by Zavoisky in 19^5 (Ref. I). Since then numerous books and articles
have been published on EPR studies of various atomic systems which
have added to our knowledge of atomic structure. The present paper undertakes a study of M n ++ in a natural calcite (CaCO^) crystal. Thermoluminescence studies of this particular crystalindicated the presence of M n ++ which would be a substitutional impurity in the crystalline lattice for calcium atoms. Hn has an electronic spin of S=5/2 and nuclear spin of 1=5/2 (Hurd, Sachs, and Hershberger,
Ref. 2); thus, the spectrum of M n ++ in the crystalline electric field
of calcite will have a large number of absorption peaks. Using the
spin Hamiltonian, an attempt will be made to identify which absorption
line or set of lines correspond to particular terms in the spin
Hami1tonian. The technique of EPR need not be applied to the solid state only;
any system that an unpaired electron can be subjected to EPR study.
F centers, free radicals, and conduction band electrons in metals are
just three of the possibilities. In addition to M n + +, an attempt was
made to study F centers; however, due to the lack of sensitivity and
the inability to produce high concentrations of F centers, no absorption
peaks were detected.

- Description:
- During the Cold War, United States government officials used a “soft power”
strategy to conduct foreign policy known as public diplomacy. The consensus found in historical scholarship links a “state-private” network between U.S. government officials to non-governmental agencies. This study examines the Eisenhower and Reagan administrations’ deployment of nuclear weapons in Europe during the early 1950s and 1980s and how they used private citizens as camouflage to help win the Cold War. The examination begins with bringing into context the devastated country of Germany after World War II and how top U.S. officials used Germany during the Cold War. The study then provides immense negative public opinion during the deployment of nuclear missiles in Europe how both Eisenhower and Reagan administrations used the same strategy nearly thirty years later by promoting student exchanges via sister city partnerships in West Germany and Europe to help influence the country’s young malleable audience towards a western way of life via the social structure of capitalism.

- A wide variety of assessment procedures have been utilized to ascertain the typical personality traits of student activists of both the right and left. Also, much research concerning nocturnal dreams has been conducted, but few investigations have dealt with the relationship between dreams and political behavior. Dreams may be one of the most comprehensive personality assessment techniques available, To date this technique has not been employed in the study of student activists. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was to investigate the personality characteristics of leftist student political activists, employing nocturnal dreams as the major data source,

- Description:
- The proliferation of Information and Communications Technologies is a gamechanger for international relations, and the classical theories are not suited for application in cyber studies. The current literature on cyber studies, is fragmented, and lacks a common theoretical framework. Additionally, the current cyber discourse treats cyber governance and cybersecurity as two separate concepts when in fact they are intertwined. This paper addresses these shortcomings by examining the models of cyber governance, followed by an analysis of key cybersecurity events. This paper takes a multidisciplinary approach by synthesizing concepts from international law, computer sciences, and IR. After analysis of the preceding, this paper offers a novel theory, dubbed the Governance and Security in Cyberspace (GSC) framework, which is designed to understand IR as it relates to cyberspace.
