The Role And Role-Performance Of Members Of County Extension Advisory Committees As Perceived By Selected Committee Members And County Extension Directors In Florida., William Carlton Smith Jr Jan 1974

The Role And Role-Performance Of Members Of County Extension Advisory Committees As Perceived By Selected Committee Members And County Extension Directors In Florida., William Carlton Smith Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate Florida County Extension Directors* and county Extension advisory committee members* perception of the roles and role performance of county Extension advisory committees. This purpose evolved from Extension personnel experiencing varying degrees of success in the committee approach to Extension program development. It was felt that this could be due to a lack of common understanding by Extension agents and committee members of the roles and functions of advisory committees. Two, similar but separate, mail questionnaires were sent to the County Extension Directors and 303 members of the over-all Extension advisory committee in …

The Effects Of A Structured And Unstructured Kindergarten Program On The Readiness Scores Of Children In Selected Public Schools In Lafayette Parish, Louisiana., Mary Coletta Mcdonough Newkome

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The major purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant difference in readiness test scores between students who participated in a structured kindergarten program and those who participated in an unstructured program. This investigation also sought to examine the achievement of students relative to certain variables, such as morning and afternoon session, race, sex, preschool attendance, French spoken in the home, place of residence, birth order, and father's years of education. The relationship of variables to test scores was studied in terms of the total population of kindergarten children, as well as in terms of the …


One-Electron And Two-Electron Atoms In Strong Magnetic Fields And Implications For Magnetic White Dwarfs And Pulsars., Garabed Leon Surmelian Jan 1974

One-Electron And Two-Electron Atoms In Strong Magnetic Fields And Implications For Magnetic White Dwarfs And Pulsars., Garabed Leon Surmelian

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

We present a variational calculation, using Slater-type trial wavefunctions of the energy spectrum and ionization energy of the hydrogen atom in strong magnetic fields ranging from 10^ Gauss (typical of magnetic white dwarf surfaces) to 10 12 Gauss (typical of pulsar surfaces). In addition, we have calculated bound-bound transition probabilities. Furthermore, a method is developed to generalize the energy level results to any one-electron atom. In particular, results for He 11 are presented. We also present an exact calculation of the quadratic Zeeman wavelength displacements of the Balmer lines from DA white dwarfs in view of which the estimate of …

An Experimental Study To Determine The Effects Of Dissimilar Emotional Inducements And Communication Skill Levels On The Meanings Given Communicated Messages., Charles Donald Porterfield

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of the study was to determine experimentally what effects, if any, two key within-receiver characteristics would have on the meanings communicated messages had for the respondents. The within-receiver characteristics were the emotional states of mind and communication skill levels of the test subjects. The study hypothesized that: 1. The meanings given communicated messages by subjects receiving dissimilar emotional inducements would vary significantly. 2. The meanings given communicated messages by subjects with different communication skill levels would vary significantly. 3. There would be a significant interaction effect of the dissimilar emotional inducements and communication skill levels of the subjects …

Storage Of Fresh Water In Saline Aquifers Using A Well Field., Walter Richard Whitehead Jan 1974

Storage Of Fresh Water In Saline Aquifers Using A Well Field., Walter Richard Whitehead

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The computational procedure presented in this disser­ tation should enable the practicing engineer to design well fields for the storage of fresh water in horizontal saline aquifers in which there is no pre-existing ground-water movement. The recovery efficiency of the injection/storage/ retrieval process can now be reliably computed, thus making possible an economic analysis of the process in any speci­ fied area. An economic comparison of the storage of ap­ proximately one billion gallons in a saline aquifer that underlies the New Orleans area was made with the present most feasible alternate--steel tanks. The results favored the saline aquifer storage …

The Epidemiology Of Virus Diseases Of Bell Peppers (Capsicum Annuum, L.) In Louisiana., Harry Kenneth Whitam Jan 1974

The Epidemiology Of Virus Diseases Of Bell Peppers (Capsicum Annuum, L.) In Louisiana., Harry Kenneth Whitam

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The epidemiology of several viruses known to infect bell peppers was studied in two pepper producing areas of Louisiana. The St. James area has a history of severe losses due to virus diseases which fre­ quently infect 100% of the pepper plants. TI!.is is in sharp contrast to the Hanmond area in which virus-infected peppers are seldom found. Viruses were identified by mechanical transmission to indicator hosts and by serology. In the St. James area, tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was found to spread primarily in April and infect up to 5% of the plants in a given field. Peppers …

Frame Transformations In Electron-Molecule Scattering., Charles Albert Weatherford Jan 1974

Frame Transformations In Electron-Molecule Scattering., Charles Albert Weatherford

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The noniterative integral equation technique is used to solve the linear, ordinary, second-order coupled differential equations that result from a treatment of the electron-molecule scattering problem within the close­ coupling theory. In order to compensate for truncation of the close-coupling system wavefunction expansion, alterna­tive coordinate reference frames (lab and body) are used to describe the incident electron trajectory. The trans­formation between the two frames, within the framework of the integral equation quadrature, 1s described and then applied to the scattering problem to calculate pure rotational cross sections, o(6v=O, 6j=2), pure vibra­tional cross sections, o(v=O l, 6j=O) and simultaneous rotational-vibrational cross …


Effect Of Amygdaloid Ablation Or Stimulation On Pituitary-Adrenal Function In The Rat., Alberto Jose Carrillo Jan 1974

Effect Of Amygdaloid Ablation Or Stimulation On Pituitary-Adrenal Function In The Rat., Alberto Jose Carrillo

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Numerous studies reported in the literature indicate that the amygdala is essential for normal pituitary-adrenal function in rodents. In light of discrepancies regarding the nature of this relationship this investigation was undertaken to reevaluate tile influence of the amydala over adrenocortical secretory mechanisms. To this end, plasma corticosterone concentrations were determined after ablation or electrical stimulation of the amygdaloid system. Interruption of the stria terminalis or ventral amygdalofugal pathway as well as large amygdaloid lesions had no effect on resting or stress components of the pituitary-adrenal axis. Stimulation of the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus, amygdala, hippocampus or preoptic area in awake …


Accelerated Biodegradation Of Cellulosic Substrates., Herbert John Bavor Jr Jan 1974

Accelerated Biodegradation Of Cellulosic Substrates., Herbert John Bavor Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Utilization of appropriate chemical/physical/micro­ biological techniques for pretreatment of cellulosic sub­ strates was shown to significantly accelerate cellulose biodegradation processes under both laboratory and in situ marine conditions. Initially an overlay plating system was developed for the isolation of cellulolytic bacteria. The procedure involved a double-layer agar system, with the basal portion consisting of a mineral salt/yeast extract agar and the upper portion, an alkali-treated cellulose­ agar overlay. The system was shown to have limited appli­ cation in the enumeration of cellulolytic bacterial populations. An in situ rate of 3.8 mg solubilized/24 hr/gram substrate was determined for the decomposition of …

Serological Relationships Among Species And Races Of Pyricularia., Anusorn Attabhanyo Jan 1974

Serological Relationships Among Species And Races Of Pyricularia., Anusorn Attabhanyo

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Methods were developed to obtain antigens from mycelium of species and races of Pyricularia. Antisera were developed against five test isolates off. oryzae and f· grisea. Conidia-agglutination tests and precipitin tests were developed for visualization of antigen­ antibody reactions using fungal antigens. Comparison of the irmruno­ diffusion and irrrmmoelectrophoresis reactions among species and races of Pyricularia indicated that all of the isolates tested were closely related, with several antigens in common, but also with specific antigens. Comparison of zymograms of protein bands from Pyricularia isolates separated by disc-gel electrophoresic; also showed similarities ..od differences in soluble proteins among tlw isolates. …
