This study investigated how school divisions in Virginia socialized new middle school principals, and the effects this socialization had on the principals' role. It also examined the effects of school division characteristics and principal traits on the selection of socialization tactics and on role outcomes.

Specifically, the tactics concerned mainly with the social aspects of newcomer principal adjustment were most influential in moderating levels of role conflic

Most of the wounded officers and enlisted men, as well as the stragglers, eventually returned to the army.

Abstract:
Over the past few decades there has been considerable progress made in understanding the processes leading to formation and evolution of particulate matter (PM) emissions from heavy duty diesel engines (HDDE). This progress has been primarily made under controlled laboratory conditions with the use of constant volume sampling (CVS) systems and to a limited extend through on-road chase studies. West Virginia University (WVU) is attempting to close the present knowledge gap by conducting detailed experiments in a custom designed and constructed environmental wind tunnel.

Abstract:
A linear engine/alternator was simulated and designed, and a prototype was built at West Virginia University. This paper describes the engine and presents original operational data. The linear engine was a two-cylinder, two-stroke, common rail direct injection, compression ignition engine. The engine was built using off the shelf components to reduce cost where it was possible. Engine control, injection duration and timing, were achieved using a microcontroller with piston position as a control input. Experiments on the engine were performed to study its behavior. The studied variables include

Abstract:
Crowd noise levels in large stadiums are often discussed in the press and by the casual stadium patron; however, there has been little scientific evaluation of these levels and their corresponding effects. An effort was undertaken at Penn State University to measure noise on the field at Beaver Stadium (State College, PA: capacity 107,282) during a PSU football game. The two-fold purpose of these measurements was to evaluate the noise levels with respect to how they affect the game and make real-time, calibrated recordings for future use in the football team’s indoor practice facility.

Abstract:
Despite their overwhelming popularity and widespread use, diesel engines have to strive to meet the continually tightening emission regulations. One of the most effective methods to control diesel particulate matter (PM) emissions from heavy duty diesel engines is to use wall flow Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). It is still a major challenge to get an accurate estimation of soot loading, which is crucial for the engine aftertreatment assembly optimization. In the recent past, several advanced computational models of DPF filtration and regeneration have been presented to assess the cost effe

Abstract:
Increasing urban pollution levels have led to the imposition of evermore stringent emissions regulations on heavy-duty engines used in transit buses. This has made compressed natural gas (CNG) a promising fuel for reducing emissions, particularly particulate matter (PM) from heavy-duty transit buses. Indeed, research studies performed at West Virginia University (WVU) and elsewhere have shown that pre-2010 compliant natural gas engines emit an order of magnitude lower PM emissions, on a mass basis, when compared to diesel engines without any exhaust aftertreatment devices.

Abstract:
Natural gas reserves within the United States continue to rise. According to the Energy Information Administration, dry natural gas reserves increased by ten percent from 2010 to 2011, while wet natural gas reserves increased by 38% in 2011. Natural gas consumption also increased from 24.09 trillion cubic feet (TCF) to 24.48 TCF over the same period. As the natural gas supply, demand, and industry continue to grow methane losses across the supply chain will be inevitable. Since methane is a potent greenhouse gas, many studies are currently analyzing the loss of methane from the wells to the en

In 2008 and 2015, the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage produced vegetation maps for Richmond National Battlefield Park, following the protocols of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) – National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Program. The original 2008 report was part of a regional project to map and classify the vegetation in seven national parks in Virginia. The 2015 report was an addendum to the original report and mapped the vegetation in newly acquired parcels. Since 2015, the park has acquired an additional 820 acres of land wi
