An Organizational Communication Analysis Of A Medium-Sized Newspaper, Sara Baldwin Howze Jan 1977

An Organizational Communication Analysis Of A Medium-Sized Newspaper, Sara Baldwin Howze

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A medium-size newspaper in Central Florida was observed for 8 weeks in the Spring and Summer of 1976 and 58 employees interviewed to determine internal communication patterns and measure attitudes toward the communication system, organization and job related variables. A system theory of organizations provided basic theoretical assumptions. Since communication activities occur within the framework of internal organization elements such as structure, objectives, leadership style, reward system, technology, intergroup relations, and individual employee characteristics, those elements were described. Communication activities were reported in terms of message purpose, network traversed, method of diffusion and relationships. Findings indicated that the nature and …

Alcoholism In Women, Sandi Abilock Levine Jan 1977

Alcoholism In Women, Sandi Abilock Levine

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Alcoholism is a serious public health problem. There is strong evidence that the rate of alcoholism, especially among women is increasing. Until recently, there has been very little research on alcoholic women. The recent increase in the number of known female alcoholics may be related to the new liberation and freedoms women have gained. While the research literature does not support the notion of a typical female alcoholic personality type, certain recurrent characteristics have been noted. This paper attempts to document the problems which appear to be related to women who become alcoholics and to look at the variety of …

A Liquid Crystal Light Valve Used In A Remote Sensor, William Alexander Kownacki Jan 1977

A Liquid Crystal Light Valve Used In A Remote Sensor, William Alexander Kownacki

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A nematic liquid crystal cell is used in conjunction with a mirror retro-reflector to modulate a low-power laser beam. The object is to determine the feasibility of the combination in transmitting information from a remote sensor without a large energy source at that sensor. Analog modulation does not appear workable, but a digitally-encoded scheme is feasible.

Hardware And Software Considerations For Improving The Throughput Of Scientific Computation Computers, Glenn Allen Sullivan Jan 1977

Hardware And Software Considerations For Improving The Throughput Of Scientific Computation Computers, Glenn Allen Sullivan

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

In this paper, hardware and software techniques are presented for improving the Throughput (defined as computations per dollar) of computing systems which are oriented towards high-precision floating point computations. The various improvements are referenced to a baseline of the PDP 11/20, the NOVA 1200, and the TI 960A, all 16 bit minicomputers. The most beneficial hardware improvement is the inclusion of a Floating Point Processor, which yields up to 200X Throughput increase over a software floating point package. The inclusion of a cache high speed local memory and the availability of Polish Notation format instructions are shown to provide less …
