Fully Accounting for English Learner Performance: A Key Issue in ESEA Reauthorization

Creator:: Hopkins, Megan, Thompson, Karen D., Linquanti, Robert, Hakuta, Kenji, and August, Diane
Abstract:: This article presents a set of recommendations that promote a more nuanced, meaningful accountability policy for English learners in the next authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The authors argue that the ESEA reauthorization must strengthen the law's capacity-building purpose so that federal, state, and local leaders support...

Using Relative Humidity as a State Variable in Climate Feedback Analysis

Creator:: Held, Isaac M. and Shell, Karen M.
Abstract:: An approach to climate change feedback analysis is described in which tropospheric relative humidity replaces specific humidity as the state variable that, along with the temperature structure, surface albedos, and clouds, controls the magnitude of the response of global mean surface temperature to a radiative forcing. Despite being simply a...

How Far Are Current Advisory Speeds from being Optimal? An Analysis Based on Safety Performance

Creator:: Avelar, Raul E. and Dixon, Karen K.
Abstract:: Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curves to provide the driving public with a safe speed is a practice well established in the United States. The operational effectiveness of these signs has long been questioned in the current literature. The authors of this paper recently developed a function to...

Seasonal variations of water vapor in the tropical lower stratosphere

Creator:: Mote, Philip W., Rosenlof, Karen H., Holton, James R., Harwood, Robert S., and Waters, Joe W.
Abstract:: Measurements of stratospheric water vapor by the Microwave Limb Sounder aboard the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite show that in the tropical lower stratosphere, low‐frequency variations are closely related to the annual cycle in tropical tropopause temperatures. Tropical stratospheric air appears to retain information about the tropopause conditions it encountered for...

Regeneration biology of Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens, an endangered plant of the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, Finley, Karen K., and Ingersoll, Cheryl A.
Abstract:: Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens, the Willamette daisy, is known only from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Herbarium records, from the 1800's until 1934, indicate that the Willamette daisy was once common and widely distributed throughout the Willamette Valley (Clark et al. 1993). However, between 1934 and 1980, this taxon was...

Quantifying Climate Feedbacks Using Radiative Kernels

Creator:: Soden, Brian J., Held, Isaac M., Colman, Robert, Shell, Karen M., Kiehl, Jeffrey T., and Shields, Christine A.
Abstract:: The extent to which the climate will change due to an external forcing depends largely on radiative feedbacks, which act to amplify or damp the surface temperature response. There are a variety of issues that complicate the analysis of radiative feedbacks in global climate models, resulting in some confusion regarding...

United States Forest Disturbance Trends Observed Using Landsat Time Series

Creator:: Masek, Jeffrey G., Goward, Samuel N., Kennedy, Robert E., Cohen, Warren B., Moisen, Gretchen G., Schleeweis, Karen, and Huang, Chengquan
Abstract:: Disturbance events strongly affect the composition, structure, and function of forest ecosystems; however, existing US land management inventories were not designed to monitor disturbance. To begin addressing this gap, the North American Forest Dynamics (NAFD) project has examined a geographic sample of 50 Landsat satellite image time series to assess...

Regional dynamics of forest canopy change and underlying causal processes in the contiguous U.S.

Creator:: Schleeweis, Karen, Goward, Samuel N., Huang, Chengquan, Masek, Jeffrey G., Moisen, Gretchen, Kennedy, Robert E., and Thomas, Nancy E.
Abstract:: The history of forest change processes is written into forest age and distribution and affects earth systems at many scales. No one data set has been able to capture the full forest disturbance and land use record through time, so in this study, we combined multiple lines of evidence to...

A Microlongitudinal Study of the Linkages Among Personality Traits, Self-Regulation, and Stress in Older Adults

Creator:: Hooker, Karen, Choun, Soyoung, Mejía, Shannon T., Pham, Tuan, and Metoyer, Ron
Abstract:: Personality traits and daily self-regulation of health goals, social goals, and perceived stress were examined over 100 days to better understand how traits may influence self-regulation. This study was conducted with a sample of 99 older adults via web-based surveys. Results showed that, as predicted, traits of neuroticism, conscientiousness, and...
