The Effect Of A Planned Parent Education Program Upon The Young Child's Cognitive And Affective Development And The Prime Caregiver's Assessment Of Child Behavior, Jean T. Scogin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem was to determine the extent a selected parent education program influenced the oognitive and affective development of educationally deprived Appalachian pre-school children and to determine to what extent the program influenced the prime caregivers' assessment of the child's behavior. Subjects included 40 Appalachian prime caregivers and their children who participated in four intact home-based classes. They were randomly assigned to treatment by the teacher, in order to equate the home visitor case load.

A Microprocessor-Based Mathematics Trainer With Voice Output., Michael Joseph Linnig 1956-
A Microprocessor-Based Mathematics Trainer With Voice Output., Michael Joseph Linnig 1956-
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The design and development of a microprocessor-controlled mathematics trainer is described. The trainer is designed primarily for a blind student, and uses synthetic speech to verbally present mathematics problems in the form of incomplete mathematical sentences. The student responds via numeric keypad. Feedback is given to the student immediately after each problem and after each problem session. Several options give the teacher flexibility in pacing the student. In addition, the teacher can create individualized problem sets or choose from many predefined problem sets, arranged in order of difficulty.

Analysis Of Structures Subjected To Dynamic Loading., Jose Enrique Carrasco 1950-
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this thesis is to develop computer programs for the dynamic analysis of structures. For a shear building two computer programs were developed: (1) Dynamic Analysis of a Shear Building within the Elastic Range and (2) the Dynamic Analysis of a Shear Building with Elasto-Plastic Behavior. Parallel to this computer work a study was performed to investigate the error due to static condensation applied to dynamic problems. In the development of computer programs the stiffness method and the consistent mass matrix were used; and viscous damping was assumed.
Inbreeding In Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri): Analysis Of Lethal Temperature Tolerence, Jospeh L. Mangiardi
Inbreeding In Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri): Analysis Of Lethal Temperature Tolerence, Jospeh L. Mangiardi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Inbreeding in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was evaluated in relation to an altered environment (upper lethal temperature 29 C), at four levels of inbreeding. At each level of inbreeding mean time to death for inbred, female-outbred half-sib, male-outbred half-sib and outbred families were evaluated. In all cases inbreds were less resistant to lethal temperature than were respective outbred families. Analysis of variance 9Snedecor’s F) and multiple range analysis (Tukey’s “w” procedure) provided inference limitations. Inbred fish were 82% less resistant to lethal temperature as comared to the respective outbred family at 50% inbreeding and 19% less resistant at 25% inbreeding. …
Determination Of Rnase Phenotype In Winter Barley Populations, Thomas Keith Blake
Determination Of Rnase Phenotype In Winter Barley Populations, Thomas Keith Blake
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Selection for high levels of freeze resistance in winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has resulted in development of cultivars which: 1) contain low RNase I activity in young shoot tissue and 2) a single RNase activity band in expanding leaf tissue at Rf 0.08. By contrast, seedlings of less-hardy cultivars typically have; 1) two RNase polymorphs (Rf=0.54 and 0.58) in young shoot tissue and 2) fours polymorphs (Rf-054, 0.58, 0.64 and 0.81) in expanding leaf samples. All enzymes migrate toward the anode (ph 7.9) and only the fastest moving band is common to expanded leaves in both groups of …
The Modification And Use Of An Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer For Data Collection At Liquid Nitrogen Temperature, Vernon Lee Baumberger
The Modification And Use Of An Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer For Data Collection At Liquid Nitrogen Temperature, Vernon Lee Baumberger
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The scope of this study includes the modification of an EPR spectrometer for acquisition of low temperature data. The modification involved adaptation of the system for use with a cylindrical cavity specifically designed for low temperature operation. This modification increased the capability of the present system for data collection at liquid nitrogen temperature and gave such greater stability than the rectangular cavity previously used. A comparison was made of signal to noise for the two cavities. This study showed a somewhat greater signal to noise ratio for the low temperature cylindrical cavity. Operation at low temperature also allowed the observation …
A Doppler Radar Controlled Traffic Indicator, Dennis L. Carr
A Doppler Radar Controlled Traffic Indicator, Dennis L. Carr
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Traffic hazards on our highways are decreasing with the onset of new safety regulations, lower speed limits and highway design procedures. Unfortunately, economics prevent their complete elimination. New roadways are made safer while old roadways are pretty much ignored. Obstructions such as trees which restrict a motorist's view can be removed but it could be a monumental task to relocate other obstructions such as buildings, or to get the public to agree to the expense of leveling hills which lie too close to crossroads or private drives. Should there be an obstruction such as a hills close to a driveway, …
Comparative Studies Of Two Flax (Linum Usitatissimum) Cultivars For Stomatal Characteristics, Adaxial Stomatal Resistance, And Osmotic Potential, Patricia Ann Franks
Comparative Studies Of Two Flax (Linum Usitatissimum) Cultivars For Stomatal Characteristics, Adaxial Stomatal Resistance, And Osmotic Potential, Patricia Ann Franks
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Limitations on seed yield of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) are a major concern of re searchers trying to develop higher yielding oilseed cultivars (37, 71). Dybing (37) stated that comparative studies of physiological and biochemical factors could provide necessary insight into the cause of these limitations. Based on repeated observations and yield trials of lines from the world collection, CI 2522 ('Linott') and CI 1194 (Grant) were selected as an "appropriate" pair for such studies (37). The basic criteria of selection of these two cultivars were a consistent difference in seed yield cross environments tested and similarities in such …

Effects Of Prescribed Burning At Different Fuel Moisture Levels On Vegetation And Soils Of Grasslands In Wind Cave National Park, Lynda Lou Worcester
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Prescribed burning has had a short history of use as a management tool for grassland ecosystems. A paucity of information is available concerning the effects of burning grassland vegetation at different fuel moisture levels. There is ample documentation of the varied effects of burning on the grassland vegetation of humid regions this affected by season of occurrence, successional stage of the ecosystem, kind and density of vegetation, and phenological stage of the dominant vegetation. There is also abundant information on the effect of fire on forest ecosystems and on some grasslands ·invaded by woody plants, especially in the southwestern United …
