Locus Of Control Differences In The Acquisition Of Electromyographic Biofeedback Training And In Self-Reported Relaxation Under True And False Feedback Conditions., David S. Siegel Jan 1976

Locus Of Control Differences In The Acquisition Of Electromyographic Biofeedback Training And In Self-Reported Relaxation Under True And False Feedback Conditions., David S. Siegel

All ETDs from UAB

The present experiment was designed to investigate a proposed relationship between the construct of locus of control (Rotter, 1966) and the ability to learn to relax via Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback training. The main purpose was to explore the notion, reviewed by Lefcourt (1972), that certain cognitive properties are associated with locus of control. The proposal was that these cognitive properties are important to learning to relax utilizing EMG feedback. Thus, one aim was to demonstrate locus of control differences in learned relaxation via EMG feedback training. Another aim was to demonstrate locus of control differences in the utilization of false …

An Analysis Of The Impact Of Racial Transition On The Desirability Of Neighborhoods., Betty Joyce Bock Jan 1976

An Analysis Of The Impact Of Racial Transition On The Desirability Of Neighborhoods., Betty Joyce Bock

All ETDs from UAB

Even a casual observation of city life causes one to wonder why people huddle so close together. While there are many good things about cities, they also are plagued by overwhelming problems. Every urban problem evolves out of a historical context.In order to understand the impact of racial transition on a southern city, we must be familiar with how southern cities developed historically and how the racial patterns which caused major urban problems emerged.Urbanization in the South was overlooked by scholars for many years since the region was primarily agrarian. Containing 5 urban centers in 1790, the South had 62 …

Effect Of Signalization And Temporal Predictability Upon Electrical Brain Stimulation Preference In The Rat., Lynda M. Whitney Jan 1976

Effect Of Signalization And Temporal Predictability Upon Electrical Brain Stimulation Preference In The Rat., Lynda M. Whitney

All ETDs from UAB

A vast body of data indicates that both animal and human subjects receiving unavoidable aversive stimulation prefer that these aversive events be predictable. Knapp, Kause, and Perkins (1959) originally demonstrated this preference for predictable over unpredictable unavoidable shock using rats in a T-maze. They found that the subjects developed strong preferences for a signal-shock sequence over shock-signal. The generality of this phenomenon has been shown by studies which used different apparatus (Perkins, Levis, and Seymann, 1963), varied the immediacy of shock (Knapp, Kause, and Perkins, 1959), varied signal duration and shock duration (Perkins, Seymann, Levis, and Spencer, 1966), and controlled …

Gravity Induced Stresses In A Shrink-Fit Disk., Imogene L. Baswell Jan 1976

Gravity Induced Stresses In A Shrink-Fit Disk., Imogene L. Baswell

All ETDs from UAB

Elasticity methods offer many opportunities to investigate the stresses in a system. However, only a very small percentage of design or analysis problems can be treated by application of analytical elasticity techniques. This, of course, is due to mathematical difficulties associated with the solution of the governing equations subject to prescribed boundary conditions. Several techniques of an approximate nature have been developed for the treatment of more complex problems, among them being finite difference techniques and finite element approaches.

A Covering Theorem For Closed And Compact Point Sets., Margaret Gurley Woodall Jan 1976

A Covering Theorem For Closed And Compact Point Sets., Margaret Gurley Woodall

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of my thesis is to prove that it is a consequence of R. L. Moore's Axiom 0 and Axiom 13 that if M is a closed and compact point set and Gis a collection of domains covering M, then there is a finite subcollection of G which covers M. All of the work presented in this thesis, including the proofs of all of the theorems, is my own.

Composite Multi-Story Rigid Frames Under Gravity And Lateral Loads., Robert Joseph Schaffhausen Jan 1976

Composite Multi-Story Rigid Frames Under Gravity And Lateral Loads., Robert Joseph Schaffhausen

All ETDs from UAB

This thesis presents a procedure for the design of a 12-story rigid frame bent with composite girders when horizontal loads produce the maximum forces for which the girders must be designed. Using an asymmetrical rigid frame with column spacings of 22' and 28', it was found that a decrease in frame weight of slightly greater than 10 per cent could be realized if the frame girders were made composite in areas of positive moment. Drift was found to increase slightly due to the decrease in girder and column size producing less resistance to joint rotation and larger axial deformations.The effects …

A Species Comparative Study Of The Soluble Phosphoproteins Of Dentin., William Frederick Beegle Jan 1976

A Species Comparative Study Of The Soluble Phosphoproteins Of Dentin., William Frederick Beegle

All ETDs from UAB

The soluble phosphoproteins of the dentin have been isolated from the rabbit, cow, hog, and human. The phosphoproteins were purified by means of gel filtration and anion-exchange chromatography, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. They all showed high levels of aspartic acid, serine, and phosphate which is bound as phosphoserine. The data do not clearly suggest that a dentin phosphoprotein exists in the fish. The phosphoprotein of dentin may be a high molecular weight aggregate of greater than 150,000 daltons.The phosphoproteins purified in this study compare reasonably to the majority of the soluble and insoluble phosphoproteins isolated by other investigators.The findings of …

A Survey Of The Mathematics Deficiencies Of The Incoming Ninth-Grade Students In The Birmingham Public School System., Earnestine Sankey

All ETDs from UAB

At the beginning of each school year incoming ninth-grade students wonder what to expect from their teachers. "Is he hard?" "Is she mean?" "Will she give a lot of work to do?" "Is this class going to be interesting or am I going to be bored to death?" All kinds of thoughts probably cross these students' minds when they begin this new experience.

Reference to diabetes mellitus dates back to about 3500 years to the Egyptians, who described a condition in which the victim, among other things, passed large amounts of sweet urine. It was not until 1921, with the discovery of insulin, that it was possible to control the disease. Medical science is still not able to cure this ancient affliction.

Secondary Negative Reinforcing Properties Of A Stimulus Associated With Suppression Of Morphine-Induced Abstinence., Danna Lee Rickert Jan 1976

Secondary Negative Reinforcing Properties Of A Stimulus Associated With Suppression Of Morphine-Induced Abstinence., Danna Lee Rickert

All ETDs from UAB

Contemporary theories of learning and motivation assert that stimuli which are paired with conventional reinforcers such as food and water readily acquire the properties of conditioned or "secondary” reinforcers. However, when stimuli are paired with the reduction of aversive drive states induced by the onset of noxious or painful stimuli, generally no conditioning is observed. The results of studies dealing with experimental narcotic addiction suggest that narcotic withdrawal is an aversive drive state which may prove to be an exception in terms of its ability to alter the neutrality of environmental cues associated with its reduction. Yet the nature of …

An Experimental Evaluation Of The Pairing Enrichment Program., Patricia Y. Travis

All ETDs from UAB

Maslow (1954, 1962) described the self-actualizing person as a person who is more fully functioning and lives a more enriched life than does the average person. The self-actualizing person tends to fulfill to the utmost his potentiality to be fully human and to gain the greatest potential and satisfaction in living. The term self-actualization refers to the process of making actual or real, of implementing or putting into motion, the potential resources of an individual.

The Relationship Between Visual Impairments And Socioeconomic Level Based On A Preschool Vision Screening Program., Verne Royal Jan 1975

The Relationship Between Visual Impairments And Socioeconomic Level Based On A Preschool Vision Screening Program., Verne Royal

All ETDs from UAB

The physiological, educational and psychosocial development of children is closely related to adequate visual functioning. Uncorrected visual defects can lead to more serious ocular damage. The distorted sensory information may hinder educational achievement as some 80 percent of learning occurs through the visual mode (Sherman, 1972), and inaccurate perception of one’s environment and the resulting inability to interact appropriately in educational and other social situations may result in psychosocial damage.
