All ETDs from UAB
Although nearly 11% of the population of the United States is over 65 years of age, there is, to date, no coherent national policy coordinating services to the elderly (Peterson, Powell and Robertson, 1976) . It is widely acknowledged that the elderly are the victims of inflation, rising crime, and lack of incentive to participate meaningfully in the nation’s economy. Nevertheless, Congress continues to plan for Federal assistance in a piecemeal fashion, treating senior citizens as a categorical group (Etzioni, 1976). Government services ranging from food stamps to crime prevention comprise 134 separate Federal programs administered under five executive departments …
The Effects Of Self-Monitoring And Relaxation Training On Blood Pressure And Other Related Behaviors In Essential Hypertension., Lisa Willis Claeren
The Effects Of Self-Monitoring And Relaxation Training On Blood Pressure And Other Related Behaviors In Essential Hypertension., Lisa Willis Claeren
All ETDs from UAB
This study used a multiple baseline design replicated across subjects to examine the effects on blood pressure of two behavioral treatments, self-monitoring alone and self-monitoring combined with relaxation training. The effects of treatments on heart rate, frontalis EMG, respiration and self-reports of tension (SUDS) were also investigated. Finally, changes in the accuracy with which subjects could estimate blood pressure were evaluated.Six subjects with essential hypertension proceeded through four treatment phases : baseline, self-monitoring, self-monitoring and relaxation training (combined-treatment), and follow-up. All subjects received the same number of sessions during each phase except the baseline condition, which was extended for three …

Within a period of only a few years, police training in the United States has moved from a situation of considerable ambivalence as to the need for any training of police personnel to a situation in which the need is now widely recognized. Only fools and liars would de-emphasize the priority of police training. However, there remains a wide rift between the nature and extent of the training that is required and the form it should take. Nevertheless, one premise appears to penetrate all debates ; the need for relevancy.

Creativity is the process through which novelty is achieved, this novelty being deemed useful or satisfying (Stein, 1974). The belief that creativity can be increased by training and that the same rules for problem solving apply equally to groups and to individuals has led to the development of a number of creative problem-solving techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two such techniques--brainstorming and personal analogies--as well as a combination of the two techniques when used by individuals.

A Synthesis And Characterization Of D-Lyxo-Hexos-5-Ulose From D-Mannose., Rogers E. Harry-O'Kuru
All ETDs from UAB
A convenient synthesis of 5-keto-mannose (D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose, 20) from D-mannose is described. Methyl 2,3-0-isopropylidene-a-D-manno furanoside was converted to its crystalline 6-0-triphenylmethyl ether which in turn was oxidized at the C-5 hydroxyl group with either methylsulfoxide/acetic anhydride or ruthenium tetraoxide/sodium periodate to methyl 2,3-0-isopropylidene-6-0-triphenylmethyl-α-D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose. Mild acidic hydrolysis conditions cleaved the triphenyl- methyl group from 17 giving crystalline methyl 2,3-0-isopropylidene-α-D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose, which was water soluble enough to be easily separated from triphenylcarbinol. The protecting groups on 19 were hydrolytically removed in the presence of H+ form resin to give the target compound 20. 5-Keto-mannose was characterized directly by 13C and high field (400 MHz) …

Touch, in general, can range from a light and barely perceptible sensation to one which is heavy, deep and painful. The sensation of deep touch pressure exists between these two extremes. Deep touch pressure is defined as the mechanical deformation of the skin, coupled with the stimulation of the underlying fascia and periosteum.

The discipline of Criminal Justice began in the early twentieth century with the initiation of the Berkeley Police School in 1908 by August Vollmer. This school was the first formal effort to train policemen in the United States. Many of the instructors were drawn from the University of California at Berkeley. 1 Vollmer believed that "the professional policeman would be distinguished from his predecessors by the level of his formal training both before and after recruitment and that new ideas from the universities could provide valuable insights into the causes of crime and the means for preventing it."

One of the most critical factors for the success of an organization is its personnel. Organizational objectives can be attained only through human performance. In the past two decades, however, the traditional organization theory has been less concerned with police agencies' greatest asset, their personnel.

The community concept in benthic marine ecology has long been a subject of intense interest. Peterson (1918) was one of the first investigators to recognize and attempt to characterize benthic com- munities in his extensive surveys of the Skagerrak and Baltic Sea. According to Thorson (1957), Peterson recognized communities as "statistical units," based on the recurrence of a few "conspicuous" organisms inhabiting large discrete areas of his survey.

The oxidations of o-diphenols to corresponding o-quinones are known to be important reactions in some biological, industrial, and pollution studies. Proton magnetic resonance (pmr) and optical [visible (vis) and ultraviolet (uv)) spectroscopy are often the techniques of choice for studying the reaction. They require a knowledge of pmr and optical spectral parameters. The studies in Part I were carried out to obtain the spectral parameters for future studies.

This thesis will evaluate the effectiveness of selected programs created under 1974 amendments to the National Housing Act of 1937. It examines housing subsidy and housing assistance payments intended to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions for low and moderate income families. The thesis focuses on elderly families living in Jefferson County, encompassing the city of Birmingham, and Brighton, Alabama. Specifically, the thesis will show whether the implementation of the housing subsidy and/or housing assistance payments programs has significantly reduced the number of elderly families who are living in substandard housing between Fiscal Years 1976 and 1978.

Following the suggestion by Smythies that the major hallucinogens, mescaline, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and d-lysergic acid diethylamide (d-LSD) all act at the same site, namely, the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) receptor in the brain, it was found that 1-methyl-1,2,5, 6-tetrahydropyridine-3-(N,N-diethylcarboxamide) (THPC), a compound similar in structure to the D-ring of LSD (Figure 1), blocked the behavioral disruption in rats induced by LSD as measured by Bovet-Gatti profiles on a Sidman avoidance schedule. Further studies by Christian et al. firmly established that THPC acts as a LSD antagonist since binding of LSD to a high affinity site on thesynaptosomal membrane is completely blocked by …

All ETDs from UAB
The design of new prosthetic devices with dissimilar metals or alloys in direct physical contact is now being investigated. Previously, the use of dissimilar alloys for the construction of surgical implants has been strongly discouraged because of the opinion that the combinations of alloys was likely to provoke more rapid corrosion of one alloy. With the advent of electrochemical corrosion analyses, accurate predictions can now be made as to the corrosion susceptibilities of materials thus permitting combinations to be considered.Presently there is a design for a total hip replacement prosthesis which combines titanium-aluminum-vanadium and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum surgical alloys in contact. There …

The Uniformly Tapered Circular Beam As A Dynamic Vibration Absorber., Phillip Britton Davidson
All ETDs from UAB
Many standard texts treat in detail the lumped parameter dynamic vibration absorber. Typical examples are the translating mass vibration absorber, the pendulum vibration absorber, and the bifilar pendulum vibration absorber. The common characteristic of these single degree-of-freedom subsystems is that their natural frequencies are set equal to the frequency of sinusoidal excitation of the primary system which is to have its vibration reduced or eliminated.It appears that Vance and Woodward, and, were the first to utilize continuous systems in dynamic vibration absorption. Their work dealt with hanging and spinning cables used as rotational vibration absorbers. Springfield described translational vibration absorption …

A Burn Ratio That Predicts The Relative Extent Of Combustion In Metallic Materials., Raymond W. Monroe
All ETDs from UAB
The objective of this work was to gain an understanding of the severity of combustion of metals in oxygen environments. Fires have occurred in oxygen compressors, pipelines, valves and storage tanks. A thermodynamic burn ratio is proposed that predicts the severity of combustion of metals in oxygen environments and is favorably compared with published results and with experimental work described. The experimental work measures the severity of combustion using silver, copper-nickel, tin babbitt, carbon steel and aluminum. The thermodynamic burn ratio is the ratio between the heat released during oxidation and the heat required to melt or vaporize the material.

Research done in the 1950's demonstrated that sleep was not a homogeneous state, in fact, that it consisted of periodically recur- ring stages (Aserinsky and Kleitman, 1953). One of these stages is readily identifiable due to concurrent physiological changes: elevated temperature, increased metabolic rates, electrical brain patterns similar to those in the arousal state, and rapid eye movements. This stage has been termed "rapid eye movement sleep" (REMS), or "paradoxical sleep" (PS) due to the unusual physiological changes. Perhaps the most intriguing characteristic of REMS is its close relationship to the dream process. Subjects awakened from REMS are much more …

It is generally recognized by layman and scientist alike that memory functioning decreases to some extent due to aging. Most of the available literature focuses on age changes in memory with respect to storage and retrieval deficits. However, a lack of evidence exists related to some of the more basic characteristics of memory decline due to aging.
