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

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

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

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 …

Synthesis And Flame Retardant Studies Of Bromoester Of 2,4-Pentadienoic Acid, Hessam Ghane

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The synthesis and fire retardancy of several bromoesters of 2,4-pentadienoic acid were investigated. The synthesis of 2,4-pentadienoic acid was accomplished by liquid phase reaction of acrolein and malonic acid in the presence of pyridine. The conversion of the acid to bromoesters was performed by two different procedures. In the first procedure, the corresponding acid chloride was prepared from the acid via reaction with SOCl2 in the presence of powdered (3A°) molecular sieves. The molecular sieves serve as an internal trap for by-product HC1 and inhibit the competing polymerization reaction of the acid chloride. Reaction of the acid chloride with various …

Design Curves For Groundwater Mounds Beneath Recharging Basins, Jack Weinstein

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Design curves are developed to simplify solution of the Hantush (1967) equation for groundwater mound build-up under a rectangular recharge basin. Curves are developed by analyzing a large number of solutions to the theoretical equation. Two sets of curves are developed, one for build-up beneath the center of the basin, the second for build-up anywhere in the field. Center-point curves are presented for 3 basins with length to width ratios of 2 to 1, and were easily developed. The more generalized curves are developed for the limited case of a 200 ft by 100 ft basin and are complicated by …

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

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 …

A Correlation Study On The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases, Lynn Walter Capraun

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Data were extracted from medical records of 202 former patients of a well established central Florida general hospital. Records were selected so as to include an equal number of disease categories dispersed equally over the two years. One hundred records were dated 1973 and 102 were dated 1976. Emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and asthma had been diagnosed in 67, 67, and 68 of the cases respectively. The age, sex, race, smoking habits, and occupations of the patients were recorded and crosstabulated with the diagnostic tests and subsequent treatment ordered by the various physicians. Most of the emphysematous patients were males over …

Zooplankton Abundance And Diversity In Central Florida Grass Carp Ponds, Douglas Lee Fry

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The effect of the Asian grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.) and aquatic vegetation upon the zooplankton in four adjacent experimental ponds (0.139 ha each) was studied for one year. Zooplankton were collected with a newly designed shallow-water sampler. Pond 1 contained no aquatic vegetation. Ponds 2, 3, and 4 contained nine species of rooted aquatic plants. Grass carp were stocked into Pond 2 (65 per ha) and Pond 3 (611 per ha). Physicochemical parameters were similar among the ponds. Eighty-eight zooplankton species were enumerated. The abundance of zooplankton groups (Rotifera, Cladocera, and Copepoda) was not significantly different among the ponds …

Arthropod Community Dynamics In Three Ruderal Old Fields With Possible Effects Of Solid Rocket Fuel Exhaust, Russell D. Caldwell

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Arthropods were collected at three sites on the Canaveral Peninsula of the east central Florida coast, from May until November, 1975. These sites were old fields dominated by grasses and herbs and one of them (site 1) was located near Launch Complex 41, Kennedy Space Center. A modified drop-trap of 0.5 m2 was used to trap arthropods at approximately 14-day intervals. A vacuum collector removed the arthropods and loose material which was visually inspected for arthropods by the unaided eye and a 7X dissecting scope. A total of 12,296 arthropods was collected during the study. Insects were by far the …
