Restoring A Historic Costume Facility To A Proper Functional Level, Janet A. Gatch
Restoring A Historic Costume Facility To A Proper Functional Level, Janet A. Gatch
Honors Theses
Using my past experience in historic costume preservation, written resources, and the knowledge of those interested in this area of clothing & textiles, museum studies, and costume research, I hope to transform the state of the historic costume facility in Quigley Hall to one that's organized, utilizes proper storage techniques, and is available for use by both faculty and students. As a result of this reorganization, I also hope to have the opportunity to share this learned knowledge with the students and faculty of the Clothing & Textiles Department through some formal means.

Event Related Potential Correlates Of Picture-Word Matching, Ketty Russeva
Event Related Potential Correlates Of Picture-Word Matching, Ketty Russeva
Honors Theses
Behavioral as well as electrophysiological evidence suggests that words are processed differently than pictures in a number of tasks. We used within-form comparisons in order to control for effects of differential accessibility to separate cognitive representations by picture and word stimuli. A "same"-"different" judgement task was employed which is known to modulate certain event-related potential (ERP) measures. The purpose of the study was to identify ERP variance components that reflect comparison decisions as a function of stimulus type. Sixteen adult subjects were tested in this study. Stimuli were printed names and drawings of twelve common objects. In half of the …

A High School Physics Program Stressing Application To Concept Instead Of The Traditional Concept To Application Approach, William Semrau
A High School Physics Program Stressing Application To Concept Instead Of The Traditional Concept To Application Approach, William Semrau
Honors Theses
It is well documented that there is a general lack of enthusiasm displayed by most high school students towards the sciences. Questions such as "Why are we studying this, I'll never use it?", "This is boring.", and "How does this relate to the real world?" are common in the classroom. This study seeks answers to why so many students feel this way, what has been done to improve student attitudes and interest, and includes recommendations to improve high school science education, particularly in physics.
Stained Glass In England From 1330-1460, Jennifer Stanger
Stained Glass In England From 1330-1460, Jennifer Stanger
Honors Theses
Stained glass is more precisely named painted glass, because of the enameling process. However, because stained glass is the popular term, it is used throughout the paper.
Please note that I have retained the original spellings in the quotes of both primary and secondary sources.
Using Computerized Cinematography To Develop A Predictive Model Relating Muscle Stress And Wrist Movement, Joseph M. Kaczmar
Using Computerized Cinematography To Develop A Predictive Model Relating Muscle Stress And Wrist Movement, Joseph M. Kaczmar
Honors Theses
Workers in many jobs are required to perform the same tasks day after day. As a result of this repetitious work, many employees are developing what is know as Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD). There has been much research done on ways to prevent these disorders. Cumulative Trauma Disorders involving the wrist are of special concern. Repetitive motions and awkward positions of the wrist are a major cause of CTD's in the wrist. One such factor dealing with the posture is the angle between the hand and the forearm. In order to help limit the affects of CTD's of the wrist, …

New Directions : Dewey, Aesthetics, And Psychology, David Clark
New Directions : Dewey, Aesthetics, And Psychology, David Clark
Honors Theses
The purpose of this paper is to determine whether psychological information is relevant to solving aesthetic problems. Along the way I will point out that there are disparate senses of the word "psychology" and I will show how John Dewey can be perceived historically as an early contributor to what we now call "cultural psychology", which I believe is a viable alternative to experimental aesthetics.
Changes In Spatial Learning Ability In Female Rats Due To Neonatal Transplantation Of Male Hippocampal Tissue, David B. Carr
Changes In Spatial Learning Ability In Female Rats Due To Neonatal Transplantation Of Male Hippocampal Tissue, David B. Carr
Honors Theses
It has long been acknowledged that sex differences occur in the performance of learning tasks. Specifically, it has been found that males typically outperform females in spatial learning tasks such as maze tasks. Recently, evidence has emerged which directly links sex differences in behavior to specific regions of the central nervous system (CNS). This evidence indicates that sexually dimorphic behaviors may be altered by the neonatal transplantation of opposite sex brain tissue. This research sought to extend these findings by examining the effects of neonatal transplantation of male hippocampal tissue on the spatial learning ability of adult females in three …
Crime And The Common Law In England, 1580-1640, Cara Swinden
Crime And The Common Law In England, 1580-1640, Cara Swinden
Honors Theses
In this paper, I have endeavored to illustrate many of the forms of crime committed during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. I have also attempted to show the role of local people in the law. The workings of the common law of England have been simplified to outline the investigations, the trials, and the punishments received by felons and trespassers. Much of my research came from original manuscripts. Therefore, I have retained the original spellings, word order, and phrases, neither correcting nor modernizing the words, word order, or phrases, of the quotations and excerpts from those original manuscripts.
Efficacious Impression Management In Minority Recruitment And Retention Practices, Amy L. Kristof
Efficacious Impression Management In Minority Recruitment And Retention Practices, Amy L. Kristof
Honors Theses
The present study suggests impression management strategies that companies can use to more effectively recruit and retain minority workers. As the workforce composition changes over the next ten years, the need for companies to attract and retain qualified diverse workers will become increasingly important. The present study focused on two minority groups, women and senior citizens. These minority workers were asked to rate the importance of suggestions given by personnel adminstrators, as to what things would attract members of their minority group to an organization. Both groups cited honesty, fair treatment, and hiring and promotion based on ability and not …

Maelstrom, Brian S. Miller
Honors Theses
In fulfilling the course requirements for the Honors Seminar on Chaos, I decided to produce a work of fiction that explored what I felt to be some interesting applications of correct speculations on chaos. The universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation was chosen for several reasons to be the fictional medium of these applications. First, I had no desire to invent a universe out of whole-cloth. Second, I felt my purposes would be better served if I had some pre-set limits to work with, which Star Trek provided. Third, I just wanted to see if I could do it. …
Particle Size And Velocity Measurements In Two Phase Flows Using Laser Doppler Velocimetry, Joseph Parker
Particle Size And Velocity Measurements In Two Phase Flows Using Laser Doppler Velocimetry, Joseph Parker
Honors Theses
Laser Doppler Velocimetry is used in fluid mechanics to measure the velocity of particles in fluid flows. A small particle exhibits motion closely corresponding to the fluid behavior because of its ability to follow high frequency flow fluctuations. Large particles do not follow the flow field precisely but represent a second phase. This project used LDV to measure the size and velocity of particles in two phase flows by computer analysis of the Doppler signal.

'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore
'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore
Honors Theses
PREFACE: I would have to cite the five months I spent in Cork, Ireland as the biggest motivating factor behind this paper. I knew next to nothing about Northern Ireland before this period. Soon after my arrival in Cork, however, I became fascinated with the socio-religious anomaly to the north of me. Since I became a religion major at Colby, I have always been interested in liberation theology. As I read about the poverty, injustice and violence that pervades Northern Ireland, I was reminded of the context in which Gustavo Gutierrez, Tissa Balasuriya, and Elsa Tamez write and live. The …
