Local Planning Agency Relationships With Councils Of Governments And Development Districts: A General Investigation With A Specific Emphasis On Chattanooga, Tennessee, John Mayes Dec 1970

Local Planning Agency Relationships With Councils Of Governments And Development Districts: A General Investigation With A Specific Emphasis On Chattanooga, Tennessee, John Mayes

Masters Theses

The federal government, in an attempt to bring about metropolitan wide problem solving and to foster economic development on a regional scale, has encouraged the establishment of metropolitan councils of governments and economic development districts. These have been given a planning function, financially supported by the federal government. This thesis is a study of how these new planning agencies relate with other planning agencies in areas where their jurisdictions overlap.

This is done in a genera investigation of how the Chattanooga Area Regional Council of Governments and the Southeast Tennessee Development District relate to the local planning agency (the Chattanooga-Hamilton …


Moisture And Microwave Effects On Selected Characteristics Of Turkey Pectoral Muscles, Georgia Mae Williams Dec 1970

Moisture And Microwave Effects On Selected Characteristics Of Turkey Pectoral Muscles, Georgia Mae Williams

Masters Theses

The effect of added water and microwave heating on several characteristics of ground composites of pectoral muscles of eight USDA Grade A turkey toms was investigated. Samples (200 g) containing 0, 15, or 30 ml added water were prepared and heated in a Raytheon Mark IV Radarange (2450 MHz) for 0, 70, and 130 sec. Water added in the amounts of 15 or 30 ml represented 7 or 13% of the sample weight prior to heating.

Expressible moisture index and total moisture decreased with increased cooking times, whereas fat-free dry weight and initial and total cooking losses increased with cooking. …


Training And Employment Needs Of Food Service Personnel In West Tennessee Hospitals, Carole Elizabeth Wilson Dec 1970

Training And Employment Needs Of Food Service Personnel In West Tennessee Hospitals, Carole Elizabeth Wilson

Masters Theses

The study of training and employment needs of food service personnel in 15 selected West Tennessee hospitals was accomplished by means of two questionnaires completed during personal interviews with hospital administrators and food service managers of hospitals in two groups by size. Specific weaknesses in the training of food service employees were noted. Hospital administrators reported inadequately trained employees as one of their major problems, and foodservice managers stated that lack of education and training was a major problem in the procurement of food service personnel. Other problems that administrators and feed service managers mentioned frequently regarding food service employees …


Interstate 40 Through North Nashville, Tennessee: A Case Study In Highway Location Decision Making, Hubert James Ford Dec 1970

Interstate 40 Through North Nashville, Tennessee: A Case Study In Highway Location Decision Making, Hubert James Ford

Masters Theses

The purpose of this investigation was to prove that state highway departments are assumed to be technical experts and that this role conception, in fact, enables them to make intuitive political decisions under the guise of technical expertness. The location of Interstate 40 through the black community in North Nashville was used as a case in point.

In order to examine the interaction of the various actors involved, the author emphasized selected decision strategies for each and related the theoretical setting to the legislated, hierarchical, and procedural framework in which highway location decisions are actually made. The extent of rationality …


Transient Response Of Linear Elastic Structures Determined By The Matrix Exponential Method, William Christopher Terrill Stoddart Dec 1970

Transient Response Of Linear Elastic Structures Determined By The Matrix Exponential Method, William Christopher Terrill Stoddart

Masters Theses

This investigation was undertaken to develop a numerical solution for the transient response of linear, elastic structures based on the matrix exponential solution for first order, linear, constant coefficient differential equations. The investigation was prompted by the need for an economical technique that can be used to analyze multidegree of freedom systems exemplified by piping and structural components associated with nuclear power plants.

A mathematical model characterizing the behavior of linear, elastic structures was developed by using state variables of displacement and velocity. The structure consists of beam elements of uniformly distributed mass, weightless springs, and rigid masses. The stiffness …

Religious Practices In The Public Schools Of Tennessee In Light Of Their Historical And Legal Background, Charles Eugene Bryant Dec 1970

Religious Practices In The Public Schools Of Tennessee In Light Of Their Historical And Legal Background, Charles Eugene Bryant

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was (1) to analyze the interpretation given by the United States Supreme Court to the principle of separation of church and state, through its decisions pertaining to various religious practices; (2) to determine the nature and extent of these practices in the public schools of Tennessee; and (3) to offer some basis for comparing current practices with the legal provisions.

The Court interpretations, as they apply to public education, may be summarized as follows. Public schools may not do the following: (1) aid a religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another; (2) …

Cobalt(Iii) Complexes With 1,2-Propanediaminediacetic Acid, Paul John Magnell Dec 1970

Cobalt(Iii) Complexes With 1,2-Propanediaminediacetic Acid, Paul John Magnell

Masters Theses

Introduction

Aminocarboxylic acid cobalt(III) complexes have been of interest to inorganic chemists since 1909 when Ley and Winkler isolated violet and rose colored geometric isomers of tris amino acid complexes of glycine and alanine.1 More recently, considerable interest has been shown in the study of the stereochemistry and optical activity arising from configurational and vicinal interactions of these complexes. Nuclear magnetic resonance of the methylene protons on the carboxylate portion of the coordinated ligand has also been studied.

Of immediate interest to this study is the stereo-chemistry of complexes containing flexible tetradentate ligands. A tetradentate ligand may be constructed …

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this research endeavor was to determine the structures of the adducts of dichloroketene with diphenylfulvene and benzodiphenylfulvene. Structure elucidation was attempted by chemical degradation and nmr analysis.

The structures of the adducts of dichloroketene with cyclopentadiene1,2 and indene3,4 have been determined by previous workers. The influence of the exocyclic double bond on the mode of cycloaddition is unknown.

Baseline Response Rate And The Effect Of A Stimulus Which Precedes Response-Independent Reinforcement, William M. Arnold Dec 1970

Baseline Response Rate And The Effect Of A Stimulus Which Precedes Response-Independent Reinforcement, William M. Arnold

Masters Theses

The relationship between baseline response rate and the effect of presenting a stimulus followed by response-independent reinforcement on baseline response rate was investigated in this study. Six pigeons were divided into two equal groups, one of which was conditioned to key peck on a VI-DRH schedule of food reinforcement, the other on a VI-DRL schedule of food reinforcement. Once responding had stabilized, a tone was introduced seven times during each session followed by a response-independent food reinforcement. The results indicated no change in the response rate of the VI-DRH group during the tone, and acceleration of responding during the tone …
