A Study Of Moral Development In Mormon Culture, Steve Foster Gilliland Jan 1966

A Study Of Moral Development In Mormon Culture, Steve Foster Gilliland

Theses and Dissertations

Previous studies have indicated that the moral development of the child may follow a "developmental" process. That is, the child progresses through an invariant series of stages, each characterized by certain modes of thought. As the child passes from one stage to another, he integrates the old stage into the new one. Kohlberg proposed a hierarchy of six stages through which the child would progress on his way to moral maturity. His hypothesis has been supported by empirical evidence.

Research findings have indicated that the Mormon culture appeared to be different in values and moral behavior than other United States …

The Nature Of The Spirit World, As Taught In The Holy Scriptures And By The Prophets, Seers, And Revelators Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Roger T. Ralphs

Theses and Dissertations

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that there are several estates through which man must pass on his way to exaltation in the celestial kingdom. These estates consist of man as: (1) a pre-mortal spirit being, a literal offspring of God; (2) a mortal being having physical as well as spiritual parents; (3) a post-mortal spirit being, his spirit having withdrawn from his physical body at death; and (4) an immortal resurected personage over which physical death has no more power. The teachings concerning these estates form a goodly portion of the gospel plan as taught by …

The Expanding Gospel, Hugh W. Nibley Jan 1966

The Expanding Gospel, Hugh W. Nibley

BYU Studies

When dealing with apocryphal texts, scholars can discount doctrines and themes that appear once or twice. However, themes that run consistently through many or most of the texts should be seriously considered. One such theme is that of a council in heaven in which a plan was presented and the opposition toward that plan. This article details the presence of these themes in ancient texts among various cultures.

The Postwar Appeal Of Communism In Malaya, Vietnam, And The Philippines, Ray Cole Hillam Oct 1965

The Postwar Appeal Of Communism In Malaya, Vietnam, And The Philippines, Ray Cole Hillam

BYU Studies

Communism seemed to offer solutions to the frustrated citizens of postwar Malay, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Setting itself up opposite Western imperialism, Communism became a vehicle for nationalism. It also provided a way for seizing power and encouraging industrialization. Those interested in Communism included students, intellectuals, and the peasant and working classes. The aspects that appealed to each group varied, but all saw Communism as a way to escape from their individual and societal problems.

Summer Soil And Air Temperatures In Four Plant Communities, Paul W. Conrad Sep 1965

Summer Soil And Air Temperatures In Four Plant Communities, Paul W. Conrad

Theses and Dissertations

Temperature, one of the most influential factors controlling the growth and distribution of plants, was measured during a three month summer period within several stands of vegetation. The stands represented four distinct plant communities: sagebrush-grass, mountain brush, aspen, and conifer. Measurements were obtained by a sucrose inversion method which gave exponential average or effective mean temperature (eT) values. Registerants, small glass vials filled with a sucrose-buffer solution, were placed in the air 10 decimeters above the ground level and in the soil 1, 5, and 10 decimeters below the ground level. The sites were carefully described with respect to plant …

Drag Forces On Magnetically Accelerated Particles, Darrell Winterton Walker Sep 1965

Drag Forces On Magnetically Accelerated Particles, Darrell Winterton Walker

Theses and Dissertations

The object of this investigation was to determine the effect of acceleration on the drag of spheres as it differs from the steady state case. Steady state drag applies to the force acting on a single sphere moving at constant velocity through an infinite, continuous, incompressible, turbulence free fluid. Extensive experimentation has quite thoroughly documented the steady state drag characteristics of spheres. A dimensionless parameter associated with the drag force is sometimes used to correlate drag characteristics.

The Role Of Thiamine Pyrophosphate In Regulating The Level Of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid In The Central Nervous System, Bryant L. Adams Aug 1965

The Role Of Thiamine Pyrophosphate In Regulating The Level Of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid In The Central Nervous System, Bryant L. Adams

Theses and Dissertations

The level of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brains of white rats suffering from thiamine deficiency symptoms resulting from pyrithiamine or oxythiamine antagonism of thiamine or from thiamine deprivation was measured. The level of this amino acid was 17.5% lower in the brains of pyrithiamine-treated rats and 20.0% lower in the brains of thiamine-deprived rats than in the control rats. Daily injections of ten times the required amounts of vitamin B6 in rats treated with pyrithiamine or oxythiamine or by thiamine deprivation had no effect on the level of brain gamma-aminobutyric acid or on the psiological behavior of these rats. The …

Heat Transfer In Shock Boundary Layer Interaction Regions, Rex W. Shumway Aug 1965

Heat Transfer In Shock Boundary Layer Interaction Regions, Rex W. Shumway

Theses and Dissertations

The interest in aerodynamic heating problems has been increasing rapidly in the last decade. This interest is no longer concentrated on the heating of simple shapes for which adequate heat transfer theory has been developed« Because of the increasing Mach number ranges of aircraft, the need for information on the aerodynamic heating of various components has become imperative. Only when the magnitude of the problem has been exposed can the design for reducing the severity of local heating be optimized. Definition of these problems is of interest, not only because of the flow phenomena, but because of possible design limitations …

Theses and Dissertations

The design, construction, and calibration of a precision thermometric titration calorimeter is described. This calorimeter was tested by determining the enthalpy change for ionization of water. The result, 13.34 ±0.03 kcal/mole (standard deviation), is in exact agreement with the best literature values. This standard deviation indicates that, using this calorimeter, ΔH values can be determined with an accuracy of ±0.0.5 kcal/mole. A calorimetric procedure has been developed for the, simultaneous determination of the equilibrium constant, the enthalpy change, and the entropy change for a chemical reaction from a single titration (Entropy Titration). This procedure has been tested by determining pK, …

The Investigation And Design Of A Powered, Single-Man Parawing Aircraft, Calvin J. Merrell Aug 1965

The Investigation And Design Of A Powered, Single-Man Parawing Aircraft, Calvin J. Merrell

Theses and Dissertations

During the last few years there has been an increasing interest in a high-lift wing configuration known as the flex-wing, or parawing. The parawing consists basically of a flexible membrane such as cloth, attached to two leading edges (or booms) and a keel as shown in Figure 1. At angles of attack (��) greater than the billowing angle (��). the air impinges on the under side of the membrane and forces it into a double-arch shape at each cross-section. When straight leading edges are used, each arch approximates the shape of a conical section. A cylindrical section is obtained by …
