A Temporal View Of The Turnover Process: Application Of A Repeated Measures Design To Two Models Of Nurse Turnover., Albert Willard Holland Jr Jan 1983

A Temporal View Of The Turnover Process: Application Of A Repeated Measures Design To Two Models Of Nurse Turnover., Albert Willard Holland Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The principal objective of the present research was to examine Mobley's (1982) contention that a dynamic experimental design is necessary in order to advance our understanding of the cognitive and behavioral events which precede turnover. The one aspect of Mobley's contention tested here was the extent to which a repeated measures design contributes to the predictive power of existing models of turnover. A second objective was to conduct a competitive test between the Mobley, Horner and Hollingsworth (1978) and the Price and Mueller (1981b) models of nurse turnover. Four non-profit community general hospitals and two government-owned general hospitals provided the …

A History Of Louisiana's Rural Electric Cooperatives, 1937-1983., Gary Alan Donaldson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The Rural Electrification Administration was created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936. There were attempts at rural electrification prior to that date, but FDR's program, as part of the New Deal, was the beginning of the modern system. The REA was put into operation by Morris L. Cooke, and expanded by John Carmody and Harry Slattery through 1944. The Fifties ushered in a conservative presidential administration that opposed organizations such as co-ops, and, consequently, funds were cut. But on the local level, co-ops continued to grow. The Sixties brought with it financial cooperation from Washington, and many co-ops around the …

Evidence For An Outer Membrane - Association Precursor Of The Extracellular Protease Produced By Serratia Marcescens., Laura Robin Liss Jan 1983

Evidence For An Outer Membrane - Association Precursor Of The Extracellular Protease Produced By Serratia Marcescens., Laura Robin Liss

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Serratia marcescens LRL781, a gram-negative bacterium, produces an extracellular protease. Evidence is provided for an outer membrane-associated, larger molecular weight, enzymatically inactive precursor of the protease. Antiserum was prepared against the extracellular protease, which was purified from the supernatant fraction of S. marcescens LRL781 cultures. Column adsorption of the antiprotease serum was performed using a slurry of live cells and cellulose. The resulting effluent was serologically inactive against protease preparations and chromium chloride-coupled protease-rabbit erythrocytes. Whole washed cells agglutinated in the presence of the antiserum. Cells were uniformly labeled with ferritin conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG, indicating that the protease precursor …

Strangers In The Land: The Southern Clergy And The Economic Mind Of The Old South., Kenneth Moore Startup Jan 1983

Strangers In The Land: The Southern Clergy And The Economic Mind Of The Old South., Kenneth Moore Startup

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The antebellum southern clergy has often been characterized as narrow-minded and reactionary with little or no social vision and with little or no commitment to social reformation. My study, which is based upon an expansive survey of the sermons and religious writings of protestant slave state ministers, reveals instead an insightful, critical, and outspoken clergy determined to change southern society; principally to turn southerners from materialism and greed to spirituality and altruism. In their attempt to reform southern society, they condemned explicitly what they considered the ostentation, arrogance, and selfishness of the upper classes and called for a more equitable …

Water Budget, Benthological Characterization, And Simulation Of Aquatic Material Flows In A Louisiana Freshwater Swamp., Fred Hal Sklar

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A two-year survey of the aquatic plants and invertebrates in the Des Allemands Swamp was designed to determine the ecological effects of altered hydrologic regimes. The aquatic invertebrate community in an impoundment was compared with a control site subject to "normal" overflow flooding and a crawfish farm where high rates of water exchange are maintained by a system of pumps and artificial levees. Swamp hydrology for the years 1914-1980 was modeled using Thornthwaite and Mather components. Time-series analysis found no evidence of any long-term cyclical behavior. High evapotranspiration and drainage during summer decrease water levels to zero in natural swamp …

Platonic Economic Theory: The Economics Of Moderation., Kenneth Neal Townsend Jan 1983

Platonic Economic Theory: The Economics Of Moderation., Kenneth Neal Townsend

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation analyzes the contributions to the economic analysis of welfare made by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Heretofore unexamined, these contributions demonstrate the importance of the development of notions of sufficiency and moderation as integral parts of welfare analysis. This dissertation also examines the significance of Plato's method of inquiry into matters of social science for contemporary economic analysis. In particular, the importance of metamathematical induction for the acquisition of knowledge of the values upon which welfare depend is analyzed in the form that it is employed in Plato's dialogues. This analysis is conducted to the end that economists …

The Justices Of The Peace Of Surrey In National And County Politics, 1483-1570. (Volumes I And Ii)., William Baxter Robison Iii Jan 1983

The Justices Of The Peace Of Surrey In National And County Politics, 1483-1570. (Volumes I And Ii)., William Baxter Robison Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Surrey provides an excellent case study of the role of justices of the peace in national and county politics in England during the years 1473-1570. Ample documentation exists in the central government records and a rich local collection, the Loseley MSS., and the availability of similar studies for the bordering counties of Hampshire, Kent, and Sussex allows fruitful comparisons. Moreover, though the shire was pulled in many directions by overlapping political and ecclesiastical jurisdictions (e.g., shrievalty, lieutenancy, diocese) and by various regional affinities, there was in Surrey a distinct political county community, the integrity of which all of the Tudors …

Sodium Ion Transport Regulation By A Serotonin Stimulated Adenylate Cyclase System In Freshwater Mussels., John Iver Scheide

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Freshwater bivalves increase Na influx when the mussels were injected with dibutyryl cAMP, serotonin (5-HT), or 5-HT (10('-4) M/l) was added to the bath; a response similar to a sodium depleted mussel. Serotonin stimulated Na influx kinetics (K(,m) = 0.09 mM/l and J(,max) = 4.33 (mu)eq (g dry tissue (.) hr)('-1) were similar to Na depleted mussels. Stimulated Na influx (by dibutyryl cAMP or 5-HT) was inhibited by amiloride (5 x 10('-4) M/l) and the amiloride inhibition was reversible. Serotonin also changes water balance; the 5-HT stimulated mussels gain 0.36 ml H(,2)O (g dry tissue (.) hr)('-1) above controls. Serotonin …

Wind-Driven, Near-Bottom Currents Over The West Louisiana Inner Continental Shelf., Richard Larry Crout Jan 1983

Wind-Driven, Near-Bottom Currents Over The West Louisiana Inner Continental Shelf., Richard Larry Crout

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Forcing mechanisms and water column response over the West Louisiana Inner Continental Shelf (WLICS) are investigated at various temporal and spatial scales. The major mechanisms that have an effect on shallow-water currents over the WLICS are winds, runoff from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers, and circulation of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Summer wind stress values are low and currents generally meander over the inner shelf during this period. A shift in the direction of the regional wind stress in late June causes a reversal in the current direction over the west Louisiana shelf. Autumn currents are primarily westward in …

Nitrification At The Rice Root., Chayong Nammuang Jan 1983

Nitrification At The Rice Root., Chayong Nammuang

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Nitrification at the rice root was investigated. Nitrifiers were found in the rice rhizoplane, rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils under flooded conditions. They were greater in the rhizoplane than in the rhizosphere soil and greatest at the heading stage of rice growth. Ammonium-sulfate or NaNO(,2) injected into the flooded soils with growing rice plants did not increase the activities of nitrifiers in the rice rhizoplane. Incubation of the flooded soil with (NH(,4))(,2)SO(,4) or NaNO(,2) did not increase the activities of NH(,4)('+)- or NO(,2)('-)-oxidizers in soils without rice. The (NH(,4))(,2)SO(,4) did not increase denitrifiers, but incubation with NaNO(,2) caused an early increase …
