Analysis Of System Reliability As A Capital Investment, Albert J. Williams Jan 1978

Analysis Of System Reliability As A Capital Investment, Albert J. Williams

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report, "Analysis of System Reliability as a Capital Investment", is an analysis of radar system reliability of two similar tracking radar systems as a capital investment. It describes the two tracking radar systems and calculates the mission failures rates based upon field failure data. Additionally, an analysis of a simulation program written in FORTRAN is performed which treats system reliability as a capital investment based on 335 electronic systems that were fabricated with a reliability program versus 564 electronic systems fabricated without a reliability program. The data from the two tracking radar systems, one with reliability program and the …

Digital Computer Analysis Of The Kinetic Response Of A Thermal Pressurized Water Reactor Power Plant, John F. Alburger Jan 1978

Digital Computer Analysis Of The Kinetic Response Of A Thermal Pressurized Water Reactor Power Plant, John F. Alburger

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A digital computer model has been developed to simulate the kinetic response of a thermal pressurized water reactor power plant. The program is capable of predicting core power and plant temperature variations which result from disturbances due to routine demand changes, control rod movement, and fission product poison transients as well as from transients during plausible accident situations. The development of the differential equations describing the influence of various primary plant components on the dynamics of the reactor have been heretofore documented in the literature. Finite difference equations facilitating the employment of a digital computer solution are fully derived. Confidence …

A Review Of The Behavioral Techniques For Weight Reduction And Control In Adults, Carol Kerr Hardee Jan 1978

A Review Of The Behavioral Techniques For Weight Reduction And Control In Adults, Carol Kerr Hardee

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Obesity has been an increasing health problem in the United States. In recent years, extensive research has been on the use of behavioral techniques for weight control. Although traditional methods of treatment have not proven to be long-term, some behavioral studies have indicated maintenance. Findings indicated that self-control methods are most effective when they are presented through therapist instruction, which is gradually faded. A full behavioral program for weight control would also include basic adjunct procedures, i.e., monitoring of calories or food, exercise, stimulus control, and social reinforcement, as well as major behavioral methods such as covert sensitization, contracting, bibliotherapy, …

Parent Education: Its Impact On Parental Well-Being, Jean M. Anderson Jan 1978

Parent Education: Its Impact On Parental Well-Being, Jean M. Anderson

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The study understood to determine the effect parent training program have on parental mental well-being and whether the reason parents enter training affects their initial level of mental well-being or the outcome of the training. A review of the research literature reveals that parents are the appropriate subjects to train to change children's behavior and personalities. The literature does not support the theory that parents cause children's behavior and personalities, but we can conclude that parents are a definite, important influence in these areas. In the process of learning to impact their children, the parents participating in parent education programs …

Realization Of A Fast Automatic Correlation Algorithm For Registration Of Satellite Images, John E. Kassak Jan 1978

Realization Of A Fast Automatic Correlation Algorithm For Registration Of Satellite Images, John E. Kassak

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The requirement for a fast automated correlation algorithm for registration of satellite images is discussed. An overview of current registration techniques is presented indicating a correlator, matching binary maps compressed from the original imagery, may provide the required throughput when implemented with a dedicated hardware/processor. An actual registration problem utilizing GOES digitally processed imagery is chosen and defined. The realization of a fast correlator, matching image input data with sampled data base reference image data in real time is considered.

Immediate Learner Achievement As An Effect Of Aesthetic Embellishment In Educational Art, Roger D. Markham Jan 1978

Immediate Learner Achievement As An Effect Of Aesthetic Embellishment In Educational Art, Roger D. Markham

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to test the null hypothesis that there would be no significant difference in the achievement of subjects who are taught the same concepts using two sets of visuals which differ in detail, complexity, accuracy of scale and use of background. A 20-item comprehension test produced non-significant differences between the simple and complex artwork treatments within both the Army Reserve and FTU samples. Subjects in both target audiences achieved approximately the same comprehension level even though the perceived the complex art to be significantly more adequate to teach. The major implication of this study is the possibility …

The Limits Of The Effects Of Machiavellianism On Bargaining Success In Triads, Harry M. Leith Jan 1978

The Limits Of The Effects Of Machiavellianism On Bargaining Success In Triads, Harry M. Leith

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Understanding the processes of communication during mixed-motive bargaining in coalition depends to a great extent upon comprehension of the variables which affect it. Certainly one of the most important variables of such communication is the influence of personality effect upon the bargaining outcomes. One personality variable, Machiavellianism, is strongly related to manipulative behavior. This thesis examines both the effects of Machiavellianism on bargaining success in face-to-face triads, and explores the limits of those effects relative to task orientation and personality type disclosure. It was found that Machiavellians are more able bargainers only so long as the nature and identity of …

Simulation Of Domestic Hot Water System Using Trnsys, Mohammed Shafi Uz Zaman Jan 1978

Simulation Of Domestic Hot Water System Using Trnsys, Mohammed Shafi Uz Zaman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A Transient Simulation program (TRNSYS) was used to formulate the simulation of a domestic hot water system. Solar percent utilization and collector efficiency was observed for different set temperatures and hot water demand. The effect of hot water demand pattern on these parameters was likewise investigated. Regression analysis was used to forecast solar percent utilization with respect to set temperature and daily hot water demand.

The Child's Conception Of Confidentiality In The Psychotherapeutic Relationship, Charlene Marie Burgess Jan 1978

The Child's Conception Of Confidentiality In The Psychotherapeutic Relationship, Charlene Marie Burgess

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Children between the ages of 6 and 15 years were interviewed using a questionnaire designed to assess their conception of confidentiality in the counseling experience. This questionnaire was based upon the stipulates for confidentiality outlined in the 1977 American Psychological Association's Code of Ethics. Children age 6 to 8 years scored significantly lower on the questionnaire than children age 12 to 15 years. Neither of these groups' scores were significantly different from the score of children age 9 to 11 years, yet the total mean scores increased as the age of the children in the groups increased. These results suggest …

Employability Skills Training For Displaced Homemakers Measured Via The Practice Interview, Carolyne Grimm Mierswa

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Two groups of females participated in a practice interview designed to measure the effectiveness of assertive communication taught during a two week program for Displaced Homemakers. The Experimental Group, selected according to CETA criteria, were interviewed after receiving training. The Control Group were women similar in all relevant respects with the exception of having worked for pay outside the home within the past three years. The structured interview was designed to incorporate the same areas for evaluation as would potential employers in a real selection process. Instructions to provide motivation, or demand characteristics, for both groups were contained in a …
