Behavior Modification Of Depression: A Review Of Theories And Research, Maria Cristina Lema De Cardozo Jan 1977

Behavior Modification Of Depression: A Review Of Theories And Research, Maria Cristina Lema De Cardozo

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

There is a need to find effective ways to treat depression, due to its high incidence and to the severity of its consequences. The first psychological treatment of depression came with the advent of psychoanalysis, but today the theories dealing with the etiology and treatment of depression range from genetic and biological approaches to an existential conceptualization. While briefly reviewing these various current approaches, the primary purpose of this paper is to present the behavioral/social learning approach to the understanding and treatment of depression. The specific theoretical formulations, methods of assessment and treatment approaches characteristic of the behavioral/social learning approach …

A Comparative Study Of Aldehyde Oxidase From Tumorous-Head And Oregon-R-C Strains Of Drosophila Melanogaster, Richard A. Respess Jan 1977

A Comparative Study Of Aldehyde Oxidase From Tumorous-Head And Oregon-R-C Strains Of Drosophila Melanogaster, Richard A. Respess

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Aldehyde oxidase has been partially purified from Oregon-R-C and tuh(ASU) strains of Drosophila melanogaster using an affinity technique. The two enzymes were subjected to a partial kinetic analysis and found to be very similar to one another. This indicated the problem of elevated aldehyde oxidase activity in tuh(ASU) at key developmental stages (Kuhn and Cunningham, 1976) is due to an abnormal regulation. A comparative isozyme study through the developmental stages showed no major differences between the enzymes indirectly supporting the idea of an abnormal regulation. A comparison of tuh(ASU) with four wild-type strains indicated it may be a fourth allozyme …

Distributed Computing Systems: An Overview, Haim Schwarzkopf Jan 1977

Distributed Computing Systems: An Overview, Haim Schwarzkopf

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Associative processors, parallel processors, content addressable parallel processors, networks, and other architectures have been around the computing scene as "Distributed Processing", for some time now. Several hundred papers have been written discussing their use and design but so far no academic work has tried to summarize the field called "Distributed Processing" using a systems approach. This research report attempts to remedy this lack. It attempts to gather into one place information that existed as of late 1976 in a format easily understandable by managers and systems engineers. The report deals also with certain issues of centralization and decentralization of EDP …

Methods And Techniques Used For Job Shop Scheduling, Yoo Baik Yang Jan 1977

Methods And Techniques Used For Job Shop Scheduling, Yoo Baik Yang

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The job shop scheduling problem, in which we must determine the order or sequence for processing a set of jobs through several machines in an optimum manner, has received considerable attention. In this paper a number of the methods and techniques are reviewed and an attempt to categorize them according to their appropriateness for effective use in job shop scheduling has been made. Approaches are classified in two categories: a) analytical techniques and b) graphical methods. Also, it should be noticed that this report does not include all the attempts and trials, especially the heuristic approaches.

Finite Element Analysis Of Cylindrical Inclusions, Thomas L. Wade Jan 1977

Finite Element Analysis Of Cylindrical Inclusions, Thomas L. Wade

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This paper presents a parametric study of the stresses in a matrix near a cylindrical inclusion. The Texas Grain Analysis Program (TEXGAP), a finite element approach, is used to model the problem. Eight different models are investigated which establish the stress effects of varying interlayer thickness, varying modulus of elasticity of inclusions and interlayers, and element size. The results, presented as plots of axial stresses, show a definite lowering of the stress in the area of inclusion termination as the interlayer thickness is increased from zero. A further stress decrease is noted with the addition of some inclusion elasticity. Similarly, …

Quantitative Analysis Of Thin Films By Dc Arc Optical Emission Spectroscopy, Arnold W. Hogrefe Jan 1977

Quantitative Analysis Of Thin Films By Dc Arc Optical Emission Spectroscopy, Arnold W. Hogrefe

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The use of DC arc optical emission spectroscopy (OES) for quantitative analysis of thin films deposited on graphite electrodes was investigated as a process control tool. Three binary systems were evaluated: nickel-chromium, phosphorous-silicon, and silicon-aluminum. Sampling by direct deposition onto graphite electrodes placed in the deposition chamber with product runs proved to be a rapid, representative, and non-disruptive technique. Standard electrodes were prepared for each system either by evaporation of solutions of known concentration onto the tips of electrodes or by weighing out powdered standards of the appropriate concentrations. Standard curves were then prepared by burning multiple sets of standard …

The Liquid Phase Conversion Of Carbon Dioxide To Hydrocarbons Over Ruthenium Catalyst Systems, Mohammad M. Akbarnejad Jan 1977

The Liquid Phase Conversion Of Carbon Dioxide To Hydrocarbons Over Ruthenium Catalyst Systems, Mohammad M. Akbarnejad

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research project was to evaluate the feasibility of producing hydrocarbons by liquid phase hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. Initial studies dealt with the evaluation of ruthenium (III) chloride over a wide range of reaction conditions. High conversions were observed and were found to vary with catalyst concentration, temperature and time. Conversion of carbon dioxide reached 73% after twenty-four hours at a catalyst concentration of 0.75g/mole of CO2 feed. The hydrogen to carbon dioxide ratio was found to have a significant effect on product distribution and amount of methane produced. For example, low ratios of H2/CO2 gave large …
