1. Rahman, M. Mokhlesur, Islam, Anisul, Halder, Sachindra, Capistrano, Doris; Benefits of Community Managed Wetland Habitat Restoration: Experimental Results from Bangladesh: (in English) Co-authors: Islam, Anisul Halder, Sachindra Capistrano, Doris From the Authors' Abstract: To test the viability of an ecologically-based method of floodplain fisheries management, a grassroots level intervention aimed at community-based fish habitat restoration and management was initiated in late 1994 in a wetland in north-central Bangladesh. The project activities included participatory planning with villages around the wetland to identify problems and work out possible solutions, particularly conservation measures with the least potential for adverse impacts on the existing social relations and on the local environment. Possible management interventions were identified through a series of open community consultation meetings and participatory appraisals supplemented by preliminary surveys. The interventions, as decided and agreed by the community along with the project team, included desilting a channel to re-establish a link between the wetland and the nearby river to facilitate migration of fish between river and floodplain, restrictions on harmful fishing gears for a limited period, and establishing small fish sanctuaries which the community volunteered to protect.... The paper presents the findings of the project based on data gathered through participatory social and biological monitoring during the year preceding (year 1) and the two consecutive years (years 1 and 3) following intervention. The data show an increase in fish species diversity, yield and household fish consumption.... The results indicate that the channel rehabilitation facilitated migration into the floodplains or riverine floodplain spawners including Indian major carps, large catfish and other species. Project benefits were found to be widely distributed among different types of households (professional and subsistence fisher, pond owners, farmers and boat operators) within the participating community. Average per capita fish consumption for all types of households living around the wetland increased from 24g to 30g in the second year but fell back to 25g in the third year compared with the second was due to low river flooding leading to lower ingress of river water and a shorter inundation period than in the second year.... "...The project has demonstrated that habitat restoration could be an ecologically sound and cost-effective way of managing some of Bangladesh's floodplain resources. Benefits have included the prevention of greater inequity in access to wetland resources, protection of biodiversity and the more sustainable production of fish, rice and other products from the floodplains. The project team is now testing similar approaches in different locations in the country under different social and ecological conditions." [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.82)

1. DeMato, Doris S.; Job Satisfaction Among Elementary School Counselors in Virginia: Thirteen Years Later: Kusum Singh, Tom Agnew, David E. Hutchins, Thomas H. Hohenshil, Claire Cole Curcio; (in English) Job Satisfaction Among Elementary School Counselors in Virginia: Thirteen Years Later By Doris S. DeMato Committee Chairperson: Claire Cole Curcio Professor and Program Leader, Counselor Education (ABSTRACT) This study was conducted to determine the current job satisfaction level of elementary school counselors in Virginia and compare it with elementary school counselors surveyed in 1995 and 1988. At the time of the 1988 survey, the Virginia Board of Education had passed a resolution to phase elementary guidance and counseling programs into the public schools over a four-year period beginning in the 1986-1987 school year. The elementary school counseling program was in full effect when the 1995 survey was conducted. In 2001 the program was no longer state mandated, but instead was a local option to be determined by school boards. An array of social and political changes have taken place since the first two studies were conducted by Kirk (1988) and Murray (1995) that may have impacted how satisfied counselors in Virginia are with their jobs. Because the job satisfaction level of elementary school counselors in Virginia in 2001 was undetermined, this study was undertaken . Two mailed questionnaires were used to collect the data. An Individual Information Form (IIF) and a modified version of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) were sent to 444 elementary school counselors who were members of the Virginia School Counselor Association. The total response rate was 76.35%. In the current study, 90.9% of counselors surveyed indicated they were either satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs, while 9.1% were very dissatisfied or dissatisfied. Of the 20 aspects of work measured by the MSQ, counselors only indicated dissatisfaction with the compensation area. The two demographic variables of educational degree status and counselors intent to remain in the current position were found to be predictors of job satisfaction for counselors in 2001. A majority of all counselors in the 2001 study responded affirmative to whether the current social and political climate affected their feelings about their jobs. Counselors expressed feeling dissatisfaction with the lack of a state mandated counseling program and feeling stress and pressure from conflicting role expectations and demands. Compared to counselors surveyed in 1995 and 1988, the overall level of job satisfaction in 2001 is similar. There were six areas of counselors jobs that produced the most satisfaction in all three studies although the order varied somewhat. These areas were social service, moral values, creativity, activity, variety, and ability utilization. In all three studies, counselors were the least satisfied with the same three areas which included compensation, company policies, and advancement. Job security was the fourth area producing the most dissatisfaction in both the 2001 and 1995 studies, while it was eighth in 1988. There was an increase of about 5% in the number of counselors who are dissatisfied with their jobs in 2001 compared to 1995 and about a 2% increase from 1988. There has been a slight increase across all three studies in the percentage of counselors who are very satisfied with their jobs. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.61)

2. Tankoonsombut, Kriengkrai; Investigation of the Effects of Feedback and Goal Setting on Knowledge Work Performance in the Distributed Work Environment: 3. Benjamin S. Blanchard, 4. Doris H. Kincade, 5. Peter Simis, 2. Brian M. Kleiner, 1. C. Patrick Koelling; (in English) Enabled by advanced information technologies, the distributed work environment has become a choice of organizations. When employees and supervisors work in geographically separate locations, management challenges emerge. Performance improvement may become an issue. <p> Performance may be improved by identifying, studying, and improving factors that affect work performance. Two factorsfeedback and goal settingwere chosen for this study because of the strong evidence of the effects of these components. Positive effects of feedback and goal setting are commonly accepted in the literature concerning the traditional work environment. This study focused only on knowledge work because most work in the distributed work environment may be knowledge work. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of feedback and goal setting on knowledge work performance in the distributed work environment. <p> A laboratory experiment was conducted using 36 student subjects. The experimental design was a 3 X 2 factorial design consisting of three levels of feedback (i.e., no feedback, task feedback, and task feedback with comparisons with others) and two levels of goal setting (i.e., no goal setting and goal setting). Subjects were randomly assigned to various combinations of these two variables. <p> The evidence did not outright support the claim that feedback and goal setting improve task performance; task performance of the subjects was improved only under certain conditions. Task feedback did not improve task performance because of its added pressure, especially in the presence of goals. Task performance was higher for the subjects who received both task feedback and information about others performance than for the subjects who received task feedback only. Overall, feedback was not found to improve task performance. <p> The study did not support the hypothesis that specific and difficult goals improve task performance. The added pressure of having difficult goals was found to have demotivating effects. The notion that the co-presence of feedback and goals is necessary to improve task performance was not supported because of the combined pressure that both components created. The subjects who had feedback and/or goals did not perform better than those who had neither feedback nor goals. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.59)

3. Cho, Siwon; Influence of Consumer Age and Clothing Type of the Salesperson on Consumer Satisfaction with the Salesperson's Performance: Dr. Danny K. Axsom, Dr. Jessie H. Chen-Yu, Dr. Doris H. Kincade; (in English) In the retail environment, the salesperson is a strong factor of influence in consumer s decision process because a store image and ability to build loyalty can heavily depend on the ability and characteristics of the salesperson (Engel, Blackwell, & Miniard, 1995). A consumer may fully anticipate buying, but this intention may change if the salespersons performance is not satisfactory. Engel et al. (1995) indicated that appearance is an important characteristic of the salesperson. Clothing is an essential part of the salespersons appearance and it can transmit many meanings, such as identity, mood, and attitude (Stone, 1962). Hawkins, Best, and Coney (1998) indicated that consumers in different age groups have different attitudes, values, and behaviors. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of consumer age and the clothing type of the salesperson in the apparel consumer satisfaction process. <BR><BR> Based on the previous literatures, a conceptual model was developed as a framework of the study. This model suggests that consumer age and the clothing type of the salesperson influence consumer attitude toward the salesperson, which in turn influences consumer expectation and evaluation of the salesperson&#x00B4;s performance. Consumer expectation and evaluation of the salespersons performance, and expectancy disconfirmation (i.e., the confirmation/ disconfirmation between consumer expectation and evaluation of the salespersons performance) are three factors that influence consumer satisfaction with the salespersons performance. Six hypotheses were generated to test this model. A 2 x 2 between-subjects factorial design was used with two age groups (adolescents and the elderly) and two clothing types of the salesperson (formal and informal). Two questionnaires with the same scenario, but two pictures of the salesperson with the different clothing types, were developed as the measurement of instrument. The participants were 120 adolescent males 16 to 19 years old and 120 elderly males 65 years and older. <BR><BR> Results indicated that a significant interaction existed between consumer age and the clothing type of the salesperson in consumer attitude toward the salesperson. Adolescent participants had a more positive attitude toward the salesperson with an informal clothing type. On the other hand, elderly participants had a significantly more positive attitude toward the salesperson with a formal clothing type. Significantly positive relationships were found between consumer attitude toward the salesperson and consumer expectation and evaluation of the salespersons performance. These results indicated that a more positive attitude toward the salesperson was related to a higher expectation and evaluation of the salespersons performance. Significantly positive relationships were also found between consumer expectation and consumer satisfaction, and consumer evaluation and consumer satisfaction. A higher expectation and evaluation of the salespersons performance was related to a higher satisfaction with the salespersons performance. When the relationship between expectancy confirmation/disconfirmation and consumer satisfaction was examined, results indicated that participants were more satisfied with the salespersons performance when their evaluations of the salespersons performance were equal or better than their expectations, than when their evaluations were worse than their expectations. <BR><BR> The results of this study suggest that consumer age and the clothing type of the salesperson influences consumer satisfaction with the salesperson. Several marketing applications were discussed and recommendation was given for the future study. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.53)

1. ... , Rosenbaum, Doris C. ... ; Millimeter-wave Signature of Strange Matter Stars: One of the most important questions in the study of compact objects is the nature of pulsars, including whether they consist of neutron matter or strange quark matter (SQM). However, few mechanisms for distinguishing between these two possibilities have been proposed. The purpose of this paper is to show that a strange star (one made of SQM) will have a vibratory mode with an oscillation frequency of approximately 250 GHz (millimeter wave). This mode corresponds to motion of the center of the expected crust of normal matter relative to the center of the strange quark core, without distortion of either. Radiation from currents generated in the crust at the mode frequency would be a SQM signature. We also consider effects of stellar rotation, estimate power emission and signal-to-noise ratio, and discuss briefly possible mechanisms for exciting the mode., Comment: 13 pages, Latex, one figure [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.85)

2. Neumann, Doris M., Boehringer, Hans; ROSAT observations of the galaxy group AWM7: We present results of ROSAT/PSPC and HRI observations of the AWM7 group of galaxies, which is a poor galaxy cluster and forms part of the Perseus-Pisces filament. The X-ray emission originates from intracluster gas at temperatures of 1.7 to 4.5 keV. The cluster obviously is elliptical with a position angle perpendicular to the position angle of the dominant elliptical galaxy NGC1129, which is offset from the cluster X-ray centre by 30 kpc. The analysis of the PSPC imaging and spectral data yield a gravitational mass of 2--5$\cdot10^{14}$\msun within a radius of 1.2 Mpc and a cooling flow with a mass deposition rate of up to 60--66 \msun y$^{-1}$., Comment: 8 pages, including 7 figures, uuencoded and Z-compressed postscript.

3. Bohringer, Hans, Neumann, Doris M., Schindler, Sabine, Huchra, John; Stripped Spiral Galaxies as Promising Targets for the Determination of the Cepheid distance to the Virgo Cluster: The measurement of precise galaxy distances by Cepheid observations out to the distance of the Virgo cluster is important for the determination of the Hubble constant ($H_0$). The Virgo cluster is thereby often used as an important stepping stone. The first HST measurement of the distance of a Virgo galaxy (M100) using Cepheid variables provided a value for $H_0=80(\pm 17)$ km/s/Mpc (Freedman et al. 1994). This measurement was preceeded by a ground based study of the Virgo spiral NGC4571 (Pierce et al. 1994) formally providing $H_0= 87\pm7$ km/s/Mpc. These determinations rely on the accuracy with which the position of this observed spiral galaxy can be located with respect to the Virgo cluster center. This uncertainty introduces a major error in the determination of $H_0$, together with the uncertainty in the adopted Virgo infall velocity of the Local Group. Here we propose the use of spiral galaxies which show clear signs of being stripped off their interstellar medium by the intracluster gas of the Virgo cluster as targets for the Cepheid distance measurements. We show that the stripping process and the knowledge of the intracluster gas distribution from ROSAT X-ray observations allow us to locate these galaxies with an at least three times higher precision with respect to M87 than in the case of other spirals like M100. The X-ray observations further imply that M87 is well centered within the intracluster gas halo of the Virgo cluster and that M86 is associated with a group of galaxies and a larger dark matter halo. The combination of these informations could enable us to locate the two stripped spiral galaxies quite precisely within the Virgo cluster and could greatly improve the determination of the Virgo cluster distance., Comment: 21 pages, Latex(aaspp.sty), including 6 figures, accepted for publication in ApJL (shortened abstract:) [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.45)
