Wordsworth's Abstraction Of Forms From Nature: A Necessary Process, Robert P. Sulcer

Feste & The Fool, Alban Dennis
Feste & The Fool, Alban Dennis
Honors Theses
I created this play to see if I could create a character whose source is Feste, from Twelfth Night, and the Fool, from King Lear, and put him in an abstract almost metaphysical world to see how he deals with reality. Both characters in their plays seem to have different world views from that of the rest of the characters. I believe the two to be identical characters in different genres.

The Influence Of Perceptual Styles On The Accuracy With Which Subjects Correctly Locate States On The United States Map, Linda Sander
The Influence Of Perceptual Styles On The Accuracy With Which Subjects Correctly Locate States On The United States Map, Linda Sander
Honors Theses
Using 93 Southern Illinois University students I demonstrated that the perceptual style which a student uses in his learning process has an affect on the accuracy with which he/she locates states on a United States map. Two perceptual styles were looked at: Global and analytic. The influence of other factors, such as sex, country of grade school education, and emotional involvement with states, were also taken into consideration. A significant relationship was found between the variables of perceptual style and number of states missed on the United States map. State preferences was also an issue examined in this study, and …
Effects Of Hippocampal Inactivation On The Performance Of A Three-Dimensional Object Discrimination Task By Environmentally Enriched Rats, Christopher T. Jones
Effects Of Hippocampal Inactivation On The Performance Of A Three-Dimensional Object Discrimination Task By Environmentally Enriched Rats, Christopher T. Jones
Honors Theses
This study was an attempt to show that enriched rats can learn a three dimensional object visual discrimination DMTS and DNMTS task. The task utilized toys from the EC for sample objects on an alternating arm Y-maze. Any subjects which were successful in learning the task were to then be tested as to the effects of reversible inactivation of the hippocampus on the performance of these tasks.

Potentiation Of Diabetes By Testosterone In Male Rats, Anne M. Van Abbema
Potentiation Of Diabetes By Testosterone In Male Rats, Anne M. Van Abbema
Honors Theses
This research project was based on the results of a previous experiment. Due to the high rate of impotence found in male diabetic patients, testosterone was given to diabetic male rats, in an effort to reverse the diabetic effects. Testosterone, being an anabolic sex steroid, was expected to increase body weight and hopefully reverse the abnormal sex behavior. The opposite of the expected results were observed in the previous experiment. The animals lost weight, at a rate faster than the diabetic animals not receiving testosterone, and the abnormal sex behavior was not reversed. In other words, the exogenous testosterone appeared …

Educational Opportunities For Aviation Management Students In Aviation Manufacturing, Dominic Sawchuk
Educational Opportunities For Aviation Management Students In Aviation Manufacturing, Dominic Sawchuk
Honors Theses
Despite the variety of courses dealing with various segments of the aviation industry, there is one portion of the industry which the SIU-C curriculum does not address, and yet many of its students focus their employment goals within this specialized area. As the largest segment of the aviation industry, (employing 1.2 million, versus 400,000 employed in commercial aviation for 1980), it is hard to believe that specialized coursework is not provided which deals with the subject of Aviation Manufacturing.
