A Casual Analysis Of The Relationship Between Students' Expected Grades & Their Ratings Of An Instructor, Dianne Willoughby

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Is there a relationship between the grades students expect to receive in a course and the ratings they assign their course instructor? If a relationship does exist, do the students' grade expectations cause the ratings subsequently given the instructor? Data were collected at the beginning and end of a semester, and a cross -lagged panel correlational analysis was applied to two pairs of variables. The first pair of variables, a single -item assessment of instructor effectiveness and a single-item record of each student's expected grade, indicated a statistically significant relationship between expected grades and the measure of instructor performance. This …

Ultraviolet Radiation Effects On Rotifers, Syed Asim Hussain

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this investigation was to study ultraviolet radiation effects on rotifers. The rotifer studied was Philodina acuticornis odiosa Milne. Isolation cultures were used to grow the rotifers individually in separate U-plate depressions. The source of ultraviolet radiation consisted of four mercury germicidal lamps used in combination to deliver a uniform flux of 315 uW/cm² over the sample. Five groups of rotifers, one control and four experimental groups of 96 each, were used. The rotifers used were 2-10 hours of age at the beginning of the experiment. The experimental groups were exposed to uv radiation for 3 minutes, …

Wisconsin Railroad Planning: A State's Perspective Of Abandonments, Barbara Busse

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Federal legislation enacted in January 1974 created federal agencies to produce a rail plan process for the Northeast United States and to monitor and evaluate the programs. A a result of the federal enactment, many states are producing rail plans. Wisconsin is presently preparing one such plan which included the elements of freight operations. The State also has produced a Manual for State Railroad Planning. Both documents have included railroad abandonment as topic of discussion. The present planning process in the State is not sufficient to determine future courses of action concerning abandonments. A case study is presented to determine …

A Study Of Five Factors Affecting Attitudes Of Educators Toward Career Education, Rushie Spear

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Educational practices appear to have failed in preparing many individuals to build productive, fulfilling lives. This is evident in the increasing number of dropouts and individuals who qualify neither for a job nor college. Career education has been selected as a Priority program in attempting to remedy such failures.

Theory implies that to successfully implement new educational programs, educators' attitudes and values need to be favorable toward such programs. At present, however, there is very little data available about attitude and the factors that affect attitude. An analysis of educators' attitudes appears to be a necessary first step in the …

Ultraviolet Excitation Thermoluminescence Of Lead-Manganese Calcium Carbonate, Dennis Schrope

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Calcium carbonate with impurities of lead and manganese have produced measurable thermoluminescence (TL) when excited by ultraviolet (uv) radiation. In this investigation the lead impurities comprise the majority of trapping centers stimulated by uv irradiation. In addition, centers associated with the CO₃groups have been found to be capable of absorbing uv and ultimately producing TL. The 2537 Å mercury line is primarily responsible for stimulating these centers, and the response was found to be linear to 0.6734 joules/cm².

The thernoluminescence response was discovered to be dependent on the concentrations of lead and manganese. However, for a …

Chester Cornett: A Study Of The Effects Of Culture Change On A Traditional Kentucky Craftsman, Roger Beatty

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The problem considered was the nature of traditional Appalachian chairmaking in a northern metropolis. The subject was an Appalachian migrant who moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Culture change was viewed through the sociological, socioeconomic, and cultural effects of urbanization. Fieldwork focused on interrelated factors of individual personality, style and creativity, and chair production. Information on the chairmaker's background was extracted from Michael Owen Jones's, "Chairmaking in Appalachia: A Study in Style and Creative Imagination In American Folk Art" (Ph.D. dissertation, Indiana University, 1970).

Dramatic changes in the folk art tradition occurred as a result of culture change. Given economic solvency and …

Anion Assisted Redox Rates Between Cobalt (Ii) - Cobalt (Iii) Polypyridyl Complexes In Acetophenone, Seyed Garmestani

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The effects of ionic strength and various anions on the rate of electron transfer between tris(2,2'-dipyridine) cobalt(III) and bis(2,2',2"-tripyridine) cobalt(II) complexes have been examined in acetophenone. The redox rate was found to increase with increasing ionic strength in both the presence and absence of added salts. The reaction was first order with respect to each reactant and second order overall in all cases. The influence of the C10₄, BF₄, and B(C₆H₅)₄ anions on the reaction rate was studied with their order of effectiveness being: C10₄- > BF₄ >> B(C_{6 …}

Partial Purification & Kinetic Properties Of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate-Dependent Alcohol Dehydrogenase Of Phycomyces Blakesleeanus, Thomas Hartz

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

NADP⁺-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (alcohol:NADP⁺:oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.2.) was partially purified from a cell-free extract of Phycomyces blakesleeanus (+ mating type, Vanderbilt strain). The fungus was grown in shake cultures containing glucose-asparagine broth, and crude cull-free enzyme extracts were prepared. The crude enzyme extracts were partially purified by a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitations and heat precipitation. Purification resulted in a 40;5 recovery of the enzyme with an increase in specific activity from 0.64 units per milligram of protein to 0.25 units per milligram. The partially-purified enzyme extracts were used to determine the kinetic properties and substrate specificity …

Geomorphology And Land Use Of A Tropical Wet-Dry Environment Santander, Columbia, Joseph Ray

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study deals with the Holocene environmental dynamics experienced by a seasonally wet-dry landscape of tropical Columbia. In light of a high ecological sensitivity, the study area is also analyzed as the resource of man. This is done by intensive study area reconnaissance, mapping, altimeter survey, and radiocarbon dating of fluvial landforms. Also, samples of soil, pasture, and water were collected for later study, and several interviews were completed with local residents.

The study area is a tropical lowland of northcentral Columbia at about 7 ½° north latitude. A maximum local relief about 600 m is maintained by a rather …

Tobacco Farming: The Persistence Of Tradition, Eugene Umberger Jr.

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The culture of tobacco has been associated with the history of Kentucky almost from the beginning and remains to this day a vital force in the state’s economy. In this age of scientific and technological advances – of increasing automation – we find that in tobacco farming, hand labor still figures prominently in the production of a major staple crop. This has resulted in the retention of traditional method, technology and terminology, long since lost in the culture of other crops which lent themselves more easily to mechanization.

The study is divided into three parts. Chapter I deals briefly with …
