The Economic Position Of The United States And Louisiana In The World Market For Soybeans And The Future Outlook., Julio Cesar Varela Jan 1980

The Economic Position Of The United States And Louisiana In The World Market For Soybeans And The Future Outlook., Julio Cesar Varela

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study was designed to analyze the supply-demand relationships and institutional arrangements in the world market for soybeans, and to estimate the market potential for United States and Louisiana soybeans for 1985. Subsidies, tariffs and other devices imposed by soybean importing and exporting countries were compared. Prices and regulatory policies were evaluated as to their impact upon land use and soybean production. Trends in soybean production, imports and exports were developed for three time periods and compared on a world-wide basis, by geographic regions, and for major countries involved in soybean trade. The impact of substitutes upon United States exports …

The Reaction Of The Security Market To The Quality Of Segmental Disclosures: An Empirical Investigation., Jacob Olakayode Balogun Jan 1980

The Reaction Of The Security Market To The Quality Of Segmental Disclosures: An Empirical Investigation., Jacob Olakayode Balogun

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This research was undertaken to examine the securities market reaction to the quality of segmental disclosures required by FASB Statement Number 14. The investigation updates the previous empirical studies which examined the securities market reaction to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Segmental disclosure rules. Information from three hundred diversified firms and their beta values were obtained from the Value-line tape. One hundred and fifty of the firms were required to report segmental data in their annual financial reports. They were referred to as the experimental group. One hundred and fifty diversified firms were not required to report segmental data in …

The "Southern Review": An Episode In Southern Intellectual History, 1935-1942., Ronda Cabot Tentarelli Jan 1980

The "Southern Review": An Episode In Southern Intellectual History, 1935-1942., Ronda Cabot Tentarelli

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This is a study of the Southern Review, a cultural quarterly published at Louisiana State University from 1935 to 1942, and edited by Charles Pipkin, Cleanth Brooks, and Robert Penn Warren. The Review is shown to be an important part of American intellectual history in the thirties and forties, of the Southern Renascence in literature, the history of LSU, and the careers of its editors and contributors. That the Review was more than a literary quarterly (thus the label "cultural quarterly") is evident in its contents. Besides fiction, poetry, and literary criticism, the magazine published Southern, political, and philosophical articles. …

The Conversion Of Manganese (Ii) Oxide To Manganese (Ii) Sulfide: Effect Of Variable Solid Properties. (Volumes I And Ii)., David Anthony Caillet Jan 1980

The Conversion Of Manganese (Ii) Oxide To Manganese (Ii) Sulfide: Effect Of Variable Solid Properties. (Volumes I And Ii)., David Anthony Caillet

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A study of the effect of variable solid properties on the kinetics of the reaction of spherical manganous oxide pellets with hydrogen sulfide gas was performed. This study resulted in a major modification of the grain model to allow for radial solid property variations due to reaction and/or sintering. It was shown that this new model did the original constant property grain model. A complete experimental study was made of the effects of exposure to high temperatures (sintering) and the effects of the reaction itself on the structural properties, notably the specific surface area and porosity, of the solid reactant …

From Disgrace To Dignity - The Louisiana Leper Home, 1894-1921, Charles Hilary Calandro Jan 1980

From Disgrace To Dignity - The Louisiana Leper Home, 1894-1921, Charles Hilary Calandro

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The care and treatment of lepers at the Louisiana Leper Home from 1894 to 1921 was based essentially upon both Biblical and medieval precedents, the chief of which was the belief that leprosy was incurable and its victims should be isolated. Accordingly, the state medical profession believed that leprous cases should be isolated and treated to prevent further spread of the disease, while the lay community favored their isolation to remove the public's economic and social fears. The creation of an asylum at a rundown plantation in Iberville Parish represented the practical application of this belief. On the one hand, …

Speechwriting In Rhetorical Criticism: An Extension Of Theory As Applied To The Johnson Administration., Suzanne Elizabeth Condray Jan 1980

Speechwriting In Rhetorical Criticism: An Extension Of Theory As Applied To The Johnson Administration., Suzanne Elizabeth Condray

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Speechwriting practices have long been associated with rhetorical history. American presidents have employed the speechwriter's assistance since the beginning of this nation. From the dawn of radio, presidential speechwriting practices have grown to the extent that most presidents rely heavily on the writer to prepare the bulk of their messages. While many political speakers have grown to depend on the speechwriter to assist him in preparing the ideas or language of his message, rhetorical critics have largely ignored the writer's influence on the message and his impact on the preparation process. The purpose of this study is fourfold. First of …

An Experimental Analysis Of The Effects Of D‐Amphetamine And Cocaine On The Acquisition And Performance Of Response Chains In Monkeys, Donald M. Thompson, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher Jan 1979

An Experimental Analysis Of The Effects Of D‐Amphetamine And Cocaine On The Acquisition And Performance Of Response Chains In Monkeys, Donald M. Thompson, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher

Faculty Publications

In one component of a multiple schedule of food presentation, monkeys acquired a different four‐response chain each session by responding sequentially on three keys in the presence of four geometric forms (learning). In the other component, the four‐response chain was the same each session (performance). Both d‐amphetamine and cocaine, at the higher doses, disrupted the behavior in the learning component; the overall response rate decreased, the overall accuracy was impaired (i.e., percent errors increased), and there was less within‐session error reduction. The performance component was generally less sensitive than the learning component to the disruptive effects of both drugs on …

Effects Of Methamphetamine And Scopolamine On Variability Of Response Location, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, Donald M. Thompson, John R. Thomas Jan 1979

Effects Of Methamphetamine And Scopolamine On Variability Of Response Location, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, Donald M. Thompson, John R. Thomas

Faculty Publications

Methamphetamine and scopolamine were studied in monkeys responding under a multiple fixed‐ratio fixed‐interval schedule of reinforcement. A response on any one of six levers could satisfy the schedule requirements. Variability of response location was evaluated in terms of switches, where a switch was defined as a response on one lever followed by a response on a different lever. Under baseline conditions the fixed‐ratio schedule generated a high rate of responding and a low level of variability, while the fixed‐interval schedule generated a low rate of responding and a high level of variability. Both methamphetamine (0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg) and scopolamine …
