Potential Hazards of Wind Energy For Rare, Tereatened, and Endangered Birds and Batsin Texas
Date: 2011
Creator: Graham, T.L. & Hudak, Paul F.
Description: This article discusses the potential hazards of wind energy for rare, tereatened, and endangered birds and Batsin, Texas. The purpose of this study was to estimate relative potential hazard index (PHI) for 31 bird and ten bat species based upon the percentage of known or observed species range area (by county) within each wind speed classification. Results demonstrate considerable range in relative hazard, with the lesser prairie chicken and ferruginous hawk among the most potentially impacted birds; and the pale Townsend's bat, western small-footed bat, and big free-tailed bat among the most potentially impacted bats. While additional data are necessary to establish actual impacts of wind developments, relative potential hazard indices may help prioritize future studies.

L-shell x-ray production cross sections for light ions on Sm, Yb, and Pb
Date: December 1975
Creator: Gray, Tom J.; Light, G.M.; Gardner, R.K. & McDaniel, Floyd Del
Description: This article discusses L-shell x-ray production cross sections for light ions on Sm, Yb, and Pb. L-shell x-ray production cross sections for the Ll, Lα₁,₂, Ly₁, and Ly₂,₃₍₆₎ have been measured for ¹H, ⁴He, and ⁷Li on Yb and Pb and for ⁴He and ⁷Li on Sm. The energy ranges for the incident-ion species were 0.3 to 2.4 MeV/amu for ¹H, 0.15 to 4.4 MeV/amu for ⁴He, and 0.9 to 3.0 MeV/amu for ⁷Li. Comparisons of the Lα₁,₂, Ly₁, and Ly₂,₃₍₆₎ x-ray production cross-section data have been made to the predictions of the plane-wave Born approximation (PWBA) and the PWBA with corrections for Coulomb deflection and/or binding-energy effects. The comparisons show that for the individual x-ray production cross sections, there are problems associated with the binding-energy correction calculations for the Ly₁ and Ly₂,₃ x-ray data. Furthermore, measurements of the ration of Lα₁,₂ to Ly₂,₃ x-ray intensities do not support the use of an increased effective binding energy in the PWBA formulation.

Self-Objectification Among Physically Active Women
Date: January 2005
Creator: Greenleaf, Christy
Description: Objectification Theory (Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997) was used to examine (a) the mediation effects of body shame and flow on the relationship between self-objectification and disordered eating, (b) age differences in self-objectification, body shame, flow, and disordered eating, (c) the prediction of physical activity from self-objectification, flow, body shame, and disordered eating, and (d) the relationships between self-objectification, flow, and physical activity. Participants were 394 women ages 188-64. Results revealed that (a) body shame medicated the relationship between self-objectification and disordered eating, (b) younger women reported higher levels of self-objectification, body shame, dieting, and several flow characteristics, (c) older women scored higher on the loss of self-consciousness subscale of the flow measure, and (d) self-objectification was a significant predictor of physical activity.

Perceptions of Youth Obesity Among Physical Educators
Date: 2005
Creator: Greenleaf, Christy & Weiller, Karen
Description: This article discusses perceptions of youth obesity among physical educators. The purposes of this study were to examine (a) antifat attitudes among physical education teachers (b) performance and ability expectations for normal and overweight youth, and (c) perceptions of the problem of youth obesity and the role of schools and physical education. Participants, 105 physical educators, completed a demographic and background questionnaire, the Antifat Attitudes Scale (AFAS: Morrison & O'Connor), an expectations questionnaire, and Perceptions of Youth Obesity and Physical Education Questionnaire (Price, Desmond, & Ruppert). Participants reported higher expectations for youth they considered normal weight, versus overweight, across a variety of performance and ability areas. Participants overwhelming agreed that youth obesity is a concern and that schools are not doing enough to help overweight youth.

Fighting Fat:: How Do Fat Stereotypes Influence Beliefs About Physical Education
Date: November 2008
Creator: Greenleaf, Christy; Martin, Scott B. & Rhea, Deborah J.
Description: This article discusses how fat stereotypes influence beliefs about physical education. Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine college students' beliefs about youth obesity, the roles of schools and physical education in addressing obesity, and the training they receive to work with overweight youth. Methods and Procedure: Physical education-related (n=212) and nonphysical education-related (n-218) majors completed a demographic questionnaire, a Modified Fat Stereotypes Questionnaire (M-FSQ), and a Perceptions of Physical Education Questionnaire. On the basis of M-FSQ scores, participants were identified as endorsing stereotypes (n=360) or not endorsing stereotypes (n=70). Results: The importance of youth being normal weight was rated most highly among participants in physical education-related majors and among those who endorsed fat stereotypes. Participants who endorsed fat stereotypes, compared to those who did not, were more likely to believe that all school professionals should be involved in treating childhood obesity. Participants who endorsed fat stereotypes, compared to those who did not, more strongly agreed that physical educators should be role models by maintaining a normal weight and educating parents on childhood obesity, and PE classes should focus on lifelong fitness. No group differences in perceived competencies to develop exercise, weight loss, nutritional, and educational programs ...

Physique Attitudes and Self-Presentational Concerns: Exploratory Interviews with Female Group Aerobic Exercisers and Instructors
Date: February 2006
Creator: Greenleaf, Christy; McGreer, Rosemary & Parham, Heather
Description: This article discusses physique attitudes and self-presentational concerns. The purpose of this study was to explore physique attitudes and self-presentational concerns among women who regularly participate in or instruct group aerobic classes. The authors were interested in conceptualizations of the ideal body, self-presentation concerns, and the influence of instructors in the group aerobics context. Five instructors and six exercisers participated in semi-structured interviews. Two higher order themes were identified from the interview data: (a) perceived body ideals and (b) body image experiences in the group aerobics context. Participants described the ideal body as lean and toned and attainable, but cautioned that being too muscular was unattractive and should be avoided. Exercisers experienced heightened self-presentation during aerobics more than the instructors did. Both exercisers and instructors thought that instructors should serve as body role models.

Leadership in Career and Technical Education: Beginning the 21st Century
Date: 2005
Creator: Gregson, James A. & Allen, Jeff M.
Description: Leadership in Career and Technical Education: Beginning the 21st Century is the third edited book published by the University Council of Workforce and Human Resource Education (UCWHRE), formerly the University Council of Vocational Education (UCVE). The previous books, Beyond Tradition: Preparing the Teachers of Tomorrow's Workforce (Hartley & Wentling, 1996) and Beyond Tradition: Preparing Human Resource Development Educators for Tomorrow's Workforce (Stewart & Hall, 1998) reported trends in their respective fields and also addressed issues that are perennial to workforce education. This publication is somewhat different in that it represents a collaborative effort among members of the UCWHRE, the National Research Center for Career and Technical Education and the National Dissemination Center for Career and Technical Education. This collaboration symbolizes efforts to link theory and research to practice and practice to theory and research.
