1. A geometric method for determining shape of bird eggs

Abstract

Precise quantification of the oval of a bird egg can provide a powerful tool for the analysis of egg shape for various biological problems. A new approach to the geometry of a bird egg oval is presented here using a simple algebraic equation to fit all normal bird egg shapes. Only two parameters are needed in the equation for complete shape description of an egg oval to quantify the equation's capacity for curve fitting all species and shapes of bird egg ovals. The equation was fitted to egg silhouettes from a sample of 250 different bird egg species containing one egg per species. Standard regression analysis was used to fit the equation to each egg profile. The 99% CI for the curve fit acceptance rate was calculated to determine the equation's statistical significance for all species of bird eggs. Compared to the power series multiequation models (Preston 1968, Todd and Smart 1984), the equation used here is the simplest analytic description of a bird egg oval.

3. The Effect on the Verbal Behavior of Selected Volunteer Junior High School Science Teachers of In-Service Education in Verbal Interaction Analysis and Techniques in Indirect Instruction.

Author

Baker, Douglas E.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of an inservice teacher education on indirect instruction. The sample was comprised of 25 junior high school teachers from the state of New York. All 25 teachers were taped three times at the beginning of the school year, three times at the middle of the year, and three times at the end. Nine teachers participated in workshops after the first observations and seven additional teachers participated in similar workshops after the mid-year recordings. Analyses indicated teachers who had participated in the workshops displayed a non-random pattern of behavior to increase indirectness. Students of these teachers also showed non-random behavior toward increased student initiated participation. Untrained teachers and their students exhibited random behavior changes in the above areas. (Author/RH)

16. Standards of proof.

Author

Baker, Douglas E.

Subjects
Criminal justice system, Burden of proof, Legal evidence
Abstract

There are three separate standards of proof, two for “civil” (noncriminal) cases and another for criminal cases. In most civil cases, the standard is generally said to require proving a case “by a preponderance of the evidence.” This means convincing the court that one side’s position is more likely true than the other side’s position. In these cases, the same standard applies to both sides.
