Food And Nutrition Misconceptions, Knowledge, Related Interests, And Information Sources Of Knoxville, Tennessee, High School Students, Lois Ann Wodarski

Doctoral Dissertations

Food and nutrition misconceptions, food and nutrition-related interests, and information sources of 185, tenth through twelfth grade students from a selected sample of Knoxville, Tennessee, high schools were studied. Relevant information was obtained through the development and administration of a questionnaire designed to distinguish between level of food and nutrition knowledge and degree of subscription to misconceptions, to determine which topics within the realm of food and nutrition were of interest to the teenage population, and to ascertain sources of information for the various categories of food and nutrition knowledge.

Students of both sexes and of all grade levels were …

Intrerconversion Of Replicative Forms Of Sindbis Virus Rna And The Electrophoresis Of Viral Rna, Jonathan D. Martin

Doctoral Dissertations

Three species of double-strand (ds) RNA, designated RF I, RF II, and RF III in order of decreasing size, were produced by RNase treatment of extracts of chicken embryo cells infected for 6 h with Sindbis virus. These species were identifiable with those reported by Simmons and Strauss (28). At a low level of enzyme (0.001 µg/ml) the major species obtained was RF I. When the enzyme concentration was increased 10-, 100, and 1000-fold, there was a progressive increase in the proportions of RF's II and III and a concurrent decrease in the proportion of RF I. Only RF I …

A Biosystematic Study Of C̲Ḻe̲M̲A̲Ṯi̲S̲ Section V̲I̲O̲Ṟṉa̲ Subsection V̲I̲O̲Ṟṉa̲E̲, William Michael Dennis

Doctoral Dissertations

A biosystematic study was conducted on Clematis subsection Viornae. Morphological, cytological, biochemical, ecological and distributional data were collected from herbarium, field and laboratory investigations. Three ordinations (Principle Components Analysis, Principle Coordinates Analysis and Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling Analysis) and a cladistic analysis (following procedures outlined by Nelson and Van Horn) were used to order taxa into phenetic and phylogenetic classifications. From these studies eight taxa are recognized: f. addisonii, f· glaucophylla, f· pitcheri var. pitcheri, f. pitcheri var. dictyota, C. reticulata, C. texensis, f· versicolor and C. viorna. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of pollen showed no interspecific differences. SEM was useful …

The Evangeline Baseball League, 1934-1948: The Story Of A Class D Circuit, Brian Joseph Altobello

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In six chapters, numbering 163 pages, the history of the Evangeline Baseball League is related, covering the years 1934 to 1948. Included in this account is a description of the relationship between the citizens of the small towns which sponsored the teams and the management and players of the clubs, fan participation, and the economic and sociological impact of the League on the area. Emphasis is ultimately placed upon characterization of the residents of the region as the League evolved. A bibliography is included which indicates that the research performed was heavily influenced by newspapers and personal interviews. Finally, the …

The Effect Of Various Concentrations Of Alkali With The Adsorption Of Calcium Ions Onto Oleic Acid, Thomas J. Mcapline

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this thesis was to find an optimum condition for the formation of the precipitated calcium soaps. The system investigated included the range of alkali addition of 0 to 1.2 pounds per one hundred gallons (#/100 gal.). A direct relationship between the adsorption with an increasing alkali concentration to a maximum of 145 parts per million calcium ion adsorbed to 833.5 ppm oleic acid when .225 (#/100 gal.) is applied. It shows that any higher concentration of an alkali will level out the maximum calcium adsorption to approximately 140 ppm.

It was also found that the alkali demand …

Comparative Study Of Flotation And Sidehill Washing Stages In Deinking Coated Magazine Stock, Joseph M. Korepta

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This is a study comparing the effectiveness of removing ink particles, consumption of water, and the retention of coating and/or filler pigments in deinked pulp between the flotation washing method and the counter-current sidehill washing method. Coated magazine waste paper was deinked using 5.3% Sodium Hydroxide at 190°F. The washing stage of both methods was carried out at a .9% consistency and a temperature of 30°C. The results of the study indicate that the flotation method of washing deinked pulp removed the majority of ink particles but did not remove the coating and filler pigments. The …

The Effects Of Temperature On Retention, Michael D. Holt

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this thesis was to study the effects of temperature and concentration of retention aids on retention. This had been a debatable issue between northern and southern paper mills because of their temperature differences.

The retention studies were performed with the dynamic drainage jar and the pilot paper machine at Western Michigan University with good agreement in both cases.

It was found that increasing temperature when using different retention aids had a considerable effect on first-pass retention. The effect of temperature on retention was found to depend on the ionic charge of the retention aid. The cationic polymer …

The Effects Of Ph On Alkali-Swellable Latex Binder Coating Systems, Larry N. Justen

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

In recent years there has been a growing demand for the use of synthetic latexes as sole binders in coating formulations. This had been brought about by the shortage of supply and changing prices of natural binders like casein and protein. Synthetic latex binders require no cooking; this increased energy saving over starch becomes more important as fuel prices rise. Synthetic latex systems are easy to handle and they can be combined easily to fit different requirements.

Most synthetic latex systems need a thickener and water retention aid to achieve the right viscosity and flow properties. The new alkali-swellable …

The Effects Of Variable Double Disk Refining Action On Sheet And Fiber Properties, Gary Flohr

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this project was to evaluate several operating variables of the newly installed Western Michigan University Jones DD 3000 refiner. The operating variables were refiner load in amperes, throughput rate in gallons per minute, and disk speed in revolutions per minute.

On the fiber level, Canadian Standard Freeness was most dependent upon the load and somewhat less dependent upon the tonnage rate and speed. The tonnages used were 4.8, 9.6, and 14.4 T/D. At 9.6 T/D, the refiner used the least HPD/T per 100 ml C.S.F. drop throughout the 300-500 ml C.S.F. range. At 4.8 and 9.6 T/D, …

The Influence Of Press Variables And The Measurement Of Show Through Of Paper, William Nourse

Theses

Several fundamental questions are discussed relating to show through of ink on paper. These questions relate to (a) the significance of ink and press variables in regard to show through; (bj the correlation between the light reflectivity of an ink film thickness and the show through of the ink; (c) the correlation between the percentage of pigment in the ink, and the show through of ink; (d) the interchangeability of various instruments for the measurement of show through. Data is obtained using a standard offset ink in combination with several different kinds of paper. Several, different known ink film thicknesses …

The Effect Of Two Levels On Dietary Phosphorus On Laying House Performance Of Four Strains Of White Leghorn Layers, Huthail Najib

Masters Theses

The objective of this study was to determine the response of four strains of high producing Single Comb White Leghorn—type hens to two levels of dietary phosphorus as measured by egg production, egg specific gravity, egg weight, feed efficiency, mortality, and the percent tinted eggs and to study the effect of time of oviposition on egg specific gravity. The experiment was conducted for eleven 28—day periods using January hatched pullets housed at the rate of two birds per 20.3 cm. wide cage. Two diets containing two levels of phosphorus, 0.4 percent and 0.6 percent, were compared. Each was fed to …
