Coupling Efficiency And Alignment Sensitivity Of Single Mode Optical Fibers, James Mathew Martin Apr 1979

Coupling Efficiency And Alignment Sensitivity Of Single Mode Optical Fibers, James Mathew Martin

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Coupling efficiency an alignment sensitivity models for the coupling of light from a fundamental mode Gaussian light beam into a single mode optical fiber are given. Experimental results are presented which verify the coupling and misalignment predictions of the models. Data were taken at two wavelengths: 0.6328 and 0.8460 micrometers. The light sources were a HeNe laser and a GaAlAs laser respectively. Coupling efficiencies were measured versus beam spot size; and lateral, axial and angular misalignments of the beam and fiber axes.


Optimization Of Stormwater Management Practices And Processes, Mark Michael Calabrese Apr 1979

Optimization Of Stormwater Management Practices And Processes, Mark Michael Calabrese

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

In recent years, stormwater has been found to be a major source of pollution to receiving waters. Major research efforts have been directed in this area, primarily as a result of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and Public law 92-500, the 1972 Amendments to the act. Yet, a need remains for more data in the field of stormwater management. Such needs include cost-performance data and planning methodologies to optimally select best management practices (BMP's). The research culminating in this report addresses these needs. A computer program, "MANAGE", has been written to generate cost/efficiency curves, and uses these curves to …

A Co-Op Advertising Information System, Kay C. Gardner Apr 1979

A Co-Op Advertising Information System, Kay C. Gardner

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report presents the development of a business information system for co-op advertising. An underlying assumption is that information systems add value to an organization. It is an application of data bank theory, and demonstrates the techniques required to maintain a current information system, i.e., add, change, and delete capabilities. The master file is sequentially accessed to produce reports by participation percentage, classification, or expiration date.


Methods For Increasing Children's Comprehension Of Prosocial Values As Transmitted Through Television Programs, Lissette E. Villanueva Apr 1979

Methods For Increasing Children's Comprehension Of Prosocial Values As Transmitted Through Television Programs, Lissette E. Villanueva

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This study examined the effect of intervening commentary and generalization discussions upon the generalization of prosocial values as transmitted through a commercially broadcast prosocial television program. The subjects participating were 50 first graders and 50 third graders. They were randomly assigned to one of five treatment conditions (control, film only, film with commentary, film with generalization, and film with commentary and generalization). Contrary to predications, the intervening commentary used as a means of directing attention to the critical points in the story, did not have an effect upon the comprehension of the values implied in the program. It is suggested …

Stripping Platinum Metals From Catalytic Converter Units By Use Of Promoted Gas Phase Chlorine Attack, James Harold Finckbone Jan 1979

Stripping Platinum Metals From Catalytic Converter Units By Use Of Promoted Gas Phase Chlorine Attack, James Harold Finckbone

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A gas-phase system to oxidize and remove the platinum and palladium from automotive catalytic converter units was studied. The effects of varying reaction temperature, time and reactant gas concentration upon yields were monitored using a colorimetric procedure based on the regent p-nitroso-N, N-dimethyl amiline. Chlorine plus carbon monoxide at 700°-900°C. displayed the most promise for commercial application.

The Biodegredation Of Vehicular Waste Petroleum In The Roadside Environment, Jesse W. Johnson Jan 1979

The Biodegredation Of Vehicular Waste Petroleum In The Roadside Environment, Jesse W. Johnson

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Bacteria from dry and wet roadside environments were examined for the ability to degrade hydrocarbons. The kinds and numbers of bacteria observed were similar to those reported in other petroleum contaminated environments. Surface soils (top 2.5 cm) immediately adjacent to the highway pavement and the sediments of shallow drainage ditches contained the highest concentrations of petroleum degrading bacteria (9.8 x 107 CFU/g). Concentration and species diversity of petroleum degrading bacteria decreased with distance from the highway pavement. Chromatographic analysis of highway stormwater runoff and the soil in close proximity to the highway indicated the presence of complex hydrocarbon mixtures of …

A Comparative Study Of Computer-Assisted Instruction Versus Classroom Training Of Naval Technicians Of Varying Aptitude Levels, Daniel J. Dwyer Jan 1979

A Comparative Study Of Computer-Assisted Instruction Versus Classroom Training Of Naval Technicians Of Varying Aptitude Levels, Daniel J. Dwyer

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Any discussion of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) cannot proceed very far without first examining the issue of programmed instruction (PI). CAI is a relatively recent development in the area of education and training, whereas PI enjoys a somewhat longer history. Nonetheless, PI lies at the very heart of CAI and forms the base on which CAI exists. CAI then, may be viewed as a mode or type of PI. B. F. Skinner's work in the 1940's with the principles of operant conditioning laid the groundwork for the concept of PI (Garner, 1966). Operant conditioning is a type of conditioning whereby an …
