19. New Interchange, I-69 and 106th Street, Fishers, Indiana

Author

Curtis, Bill and Richardson, Jeromy

Abstract

This first-of-its-kind oval-about interchange was an INDOT project with financial support from both the City of Fishers and Hamilton County, in a combined effort to relieve congestion at the two existing adjacent interchanges of 96th and 116th Streets. We will discuss the extensive traffic analysis completed for the FHWA Interchange Justification Study, modifications in roundabout design, cost savings of two parallel two-lane bridges versus one oddshaped five-lane bridge, and lessons learned in utility coordination.

40. Coach Effectiveness Training: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach to Enhancing Relationship Skills in Youth Sport Coaches.

Author

Smith, Ronald E., Smoll, Frank L., and Curtis, Bill

Abstract

Little League Baseball coaches were exposed to a preseason training program designed to assist them in relating more effectively to children. Empirically derived behavioral guidelines were presented and modeled, and behavioral feedback and self-monitoring were used to enhance self-awareness and to encourage compliance with the guidelines. Trained coaches differed from controls in both overt and player-perceived behaviors in a manner consistent with the behavioral guidelines. They were also evaluated more positively by their players, and a higher level of intrateam attraction was found on their teams despite the fact that they did not differ from controls in won-lost records. Children who played for the trained coaches exhibited a significant increase in general self-esteem compared with scores obtained a year earlier; control group children did not. The greatest differences in attitudes toward trained and control coaches were found among children low in self-esteem, and such children appeared most sensitive to variations in coaches' use of encouragement, punishment, and technical instruction.

Biographical fiction
Abstract

This compelling novel takes the reader into the tumultuous period of the Renaissance and the origins of Leonardo da Vinci, the bastard child of a notary. Of da Vinci, the eminent art historian Kenneth Clark wrote, “no more complex and mysterious character ever existed than this Hamlet of art history.” Clark noted that one had to be “familiar with all of Leonardo's writings in their chronological order (and) the state of learning in the Renaissance to judge Leonardo's progress in relation to that of his contemporaries.”This compelling novel takes the reader into the tumultuous period of the Renaissance and the origins of Leonardo da Vinci, the bastard child of a notary.

Abstract

The quality of empirical studies is critical for the success of the Software Engineering (SE) discipline. More and more SE researchers are conducting empirical studies involving the software industry. While there are established empirical procedures, relatively little is known about the dynamics of conducting empirical studies in the complex industrial environments. For example, what are the impediments and how to best handle them. This was the primary driver for organising CESI 2013, held on 20th May, 2013. Thus, the theme of the workshop was “conducting empirical studies in industry”. This report summarises the workshop details and the proceedings of the day., Postprint (author’s final draft)
