Black Studies And The Enhancement Of Self-Concept As It Relates To Achievement Level In Negro High School Students, David L. Fisher

Dissertations

This study had as its primary purpose the investigation of the effect of black studies courses upon the self-concept of Negro high school students, Specifically, it was intended to determine if selfconcept enhancement followed completion of black studies courses and if this enhancement effect was further related to prior academic achievement, A secondary purpose was to determine if self-concept enhancement was related to the sex of the student, There were two subsidiary purposes. One was to see if different black studies courses had different effects upon the self-concept of the students and the other was to determine if the four …

The Preparation Of Cis- And Trans-1,2-Dimethoxyethylene. The Study Of The Cis-Trans-Rearrangement And Evaluation Of Equilibrium Constants, James T. Waldron

Dissertations

Equilibrium constants for the mercuric acetate-catalyzed reaction, cis-CH₃ OCH=CHOCH₃ D trans-CH₃ OCH=CHOCH₃, have been determined in the liquid and vapor phase over the temperature range 30° - 175°C by gas chromatography analysis. A novel synthesis of the cis- and trans-isomers of 1,2-dimethoxyethylene is discussed. From a screening of 29 catalysts, mercuric acetate, mercuric benzoate, and mercuric salicylate were found to be favorable isomerization catalysts. For the liquid phase reaction,

ln K = -779.8/T + 0.6748

with ΔH° = +1.549 ± 0.019 Kcal/mole
and ΔS° = +1.34 ± 0.05 e.u./mole

Similarly, for the vapor phase reaction, …

Structure And Magnetic Properties Of Rare Earth Garnets, Milan R. Kokta

Dissertations

This study deals with preparation and magnetic properties of garnet compounds containing rare earth ions and scandium ions on two crystallographic sites: the dodecahedral and the octahedral. A number of compounds of the types {R_3-yr_y}[r_x Ga_2-x](Ga₃) O_12' {R₃}[Sc₂](Fe_z Ga_3-x) O_12' {R_3-y Sc_y}[Sc₂] (Fe₃) O_12' and {R_3-y r_y)[r₂ (Fe_z Ga_3-z) O_12' where R stands for large rare earth ions such as Nd³⁺ and Pr³⁺, …

Methods For Acoustic Holography And Acoustic Measurements, Wolfgang Fischer

Dissertations

In this dissertation, a novel "four-step acoustical holographic imaging system" is described and several means for its implementation are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. This system is compared with other methods of acoustical holography, (ie. permitting to obtain a visible, 3-D image of an object insonified with supersonic waves) and some of its advantages are indicated.

The use of optical holographic techniques to convert an arbitrary acoustic image to a visible image is investigated and a new method - the "holographic sound image converter" - is introduced and analyzed. This converter consists of the "holographic interferometer" and an appropriate "coupler". …

Electromagnetic Wave Propagation In Nonuniform Waveguides With Perfect Conducting Walls, Irwin Share

Dissertations

The analysis of nonuniform waveguides is formulated in terms of non-orthogonal generalized coordinates by utilizing the Hertz vector potentials and the Riemann metric tensor.

When the Hertz potential is expressible as a function of the propagation coordinate times a function of the transverse coordinates, then the nonuniform waveguide may be represented by transverse equations and a set of uncoupled nonuniform transmission lines. This decomposition facilitates studying propagation along the propagation coordinate. Sufficient conditions to achieve this decomposition are investigated. It is demonstrated that these constraints may provide guidelines for selecting a useful coordinate system to describe the nonuniform waveguide. In …

An Investigation Of The Neuromuscular Command In The Control Of Respiration, Nirmal Kumar Mishra

Dissertations

The purpose of the investigation is to study the signals involved in the respiratory system and to obtain a model for the dynamics including the activity of the phrenic nerve as the input and the transpulmonary pressure, air flow and the volume as the response.

Experiments were done on anasthetized dogs under natural breathing, with steady state response to various levels of CO2 in the inspired air, and under electrophrenic stimulation. Bipolar electrodes were used at the phrenic nerve, in the cervical region, either for recording the phrenic neurogram or for supramaximal unilateral (or bilateral) stimulation using pulse frequency modulated …
