Training Procedures For Conditional Sentence Reasoning, Susan L. Abbott

Psychology ETDs

An experiment tested the effectiveness of three training procedures on the ability of college subjects to solve complex conditional sentence reasoning problems. Each of these groups of subjects was given one of three brief training courses based on the major component skills of conditional sentence reasoning. These training procedures were (1) training in the relevance and application of falsification as an hypothesis testing strategy, (2) truth table training on conditional and biconditional rules, and (3) conversion training which demonstrated the fallacy of assuming the converse of a conditional streamer.

Reactions Of 2-Aminopyridine With Picryl Halides, Betty Wright Harris

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The purpose of this investigation was to study the reaction of 2-aminopyridine with picryl halides with the goal of providing evidence in support of a mechanism accounting for the formation of the observed products. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was employed to measure the relative amounts of the various picryl protons in the product mixture, which were assumed to be proportional to the mole percent of the corresponding compounds. 2-Aminopyridine reacted with picryl chloride by a nucleophilic bimolecular substitution reaction to give 2-(N-picrylamino)pyridine as the major product; however, the major product of the reaction of 2-amino­pyridine with picryl fluoride is 1-picryl-2-(N-picrylimino)-1,2-dihydro­pyridine. …

Laser Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography And Plasma Stoichiometric Analysis, Ray Lorain Hanson

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Normal-pulse laser interaction with organic solids was studied. Extensive interaction between the carrier gas and the plasma occurred in the quenching process. When hydrogen was used as the carrier gas, significantly greater quantities of products were detected from the laser pyrolysis of graphite and coal compared to laser pyrolysis in helium. Acetylene was shown to be the principal hydrocarbon product from plasma quenching. Equilibrium product distributions calculated at high temperatures by the minimization of free energy revealed that hydrogen and acetylene were the primary gaseous plasma quenching products for hydrocarbons. Organic solids with oxygen present in the molecule yielded carbon …

Composition And Structure Of A Stress Relieving Removable Epoxy Resin, Cecelia Victoria Krapcha Carter

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The aqueous modification of polyol modified anhydride cured diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A exhibits properties of a brittle solid when subjected to an impulse stress, and properties of a viscous fluid when subjected to a steady state stress. This behavior is markedly different from the nonaqueous system. Early attempts to understand the nature of the change in properties and the physical mechanism involved have not been completely successful. These attempts have typically taken a physical chemistry approach and have not fully investigated the organic nature of the polymer. In order to fully understand a polymer system an important step should …

The Determination Of Double Mode Variable Star Periods, Arne A. Henden

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

ABSTRACT

The problem of determining the periods of objects oscillating in one or more modes is discussed. Although the methods described are applicable to many different kinds of objects and observations, the discussion has been limited to double mode Cepheid stars.

Two methods of solution are followed in detail. An autocorrela­tion technique based on the scatter of points in an amplitude-phase plane is used for most cases. A means of calculating smoothed mean curves is discussed. A Fourier transform method is presented for closely spaced data points, with prewhitening included for accurate secondary period and amplitude determinations.

Adaptation Of A Computer Simulation Model For Planning State School Finance Programs In Sergipe, Brazil, Edward De Mello

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The primary objectives of this study were: (1) to adapt selected dimensions of the National Educational Finance Project’s computer-based simulation model to Sergipe, Brazil; and (2) to simulate the effects of seven alternative sets of program and fiscal decisions using Sergipe data for 1973.

The National Educational Finance Project (NEFP) simulation model is a computer program designed to simulate the effects of alternative decisions concerning the funding of public elementary and secondary schools in a prototype state. The original program contains actual educational, economic and demographic data for 32 school districts in the United States which have been selected as …

Annual Report Of The University, 1974-1975, Volumes 1-3, University Of New Mexico

UNM Annual Reports

INTEGRITY The campus turmoil of the late 1960s and early \'70s was attributable to many causes, most of them rooted in the society outside the university. But whatever the events that triggered demonstrations and, in some cases, mob action, whatever the local grievances, there always was this overriding question being asked, usually by implication rather than directly; "What should a university be?" The agonies of an unpopular war and campus reforms most frequently provided the causes around which groups of students, non-students, and faculty members could coalesce for action. From beneath their crusading banners came the ultimata, the pronouncements and …

Major And Minor Element Contents Of Coexisting Olivine, Orthopyroxene, And Clinopyroxene In Ordinary Chondritic Meteorites, Frederick D. Busche

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The chemical compositions of coexisting olivine, orthopyroxene, and clinopyroxene from 50 ordinary chondritic meteorites are presented. The elements, determined by the electron microprobe x-ray analyzer, are Fe, Ca, Mg, Cr and Mn in olivine, and Fe, Ca, Mg, Cr, Mn, Ti and Al in orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene. A method was developed to determine minor elements as low as 50 ppm with a calculated relative error of only +-5% of the amounts present. These data and the calculated Kd2 values were run through the social sciences multivariate analysis program to obtain correlations that would be useful in the classification of meteorites. …

A Shared Way Of Thinking: Johnson, Burke, Reynolds And Gibbon On Ethics, Politics And Aesthetics, Richard A. Friedberg

English Language and Literature ETDs

Many people recall the Literary Club primarily as an assemblage of vigorous, if eccentric, talkers. Actually, the leading figures of the Club--Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, Joshua Reynolds, and Edward Gibbon--had much in common as reasoners. This does not mean that they agreed with each other on specific issues. It does mean that in three important areas of intellectual concern--politics, criticism, and morality--their way of approaching problems is similar.

The first section of the study treats the political reasoning of Burke, Johnson, and Gibbon. Its most important conclusions are that all three writers reacted against the application of speculative, a priori …

Evaporite Deposits Of The Central Namib Desert, Namibiba, Fred R. Cagle Jr.

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The extensive evaporite deposits of the Namib desert occur in an area bounded by the Ugab River on the north and the Kuiseb River on the south. Smaller deposits which are concentrated on the coast occur north and south of these boundaries. The deposits occur as a blanket deposit up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) in thickness and extend inland for a distance of approximately 55 miles (90 km) and extend 110 miles (176 km) between the northern and southern boundaries. The deposits are composed mainly of gypsite, but there are two locations where anhydrite is the predominant form present. …

A Satellite Study Of The High Energy Proton Environment Under The Radiation Belt, Kailash Chandra Dhingra

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Proton data outside of the South Atlantic Radiation anomaly (in the regions where h_min < 0) from the University of New Mexico High Energy Neutron and Proton Detector aboard OSO-6 satellite were analyzed in the present work. The detector was useful in the energy range from 75-145 Mev and the data were obtained during the period from August 1969 to January 1971. The altitude of the satellite varied from about 480 Km to 580 Km. Since the observed proton flux resulted from different source mechanisms a procedure was developed that allowed us to compute and separate the contributions made by different mechanisms in the observed protons. New evidence was derived from the study of the Down-Up asymmetry both along the field direction and the zenith of the look direction (ZAP angle) which substantiated the hypothesis that either one or both of the processes of the radial and the pitch angle diffusion play active roles in the origin and the distributions of the protons in the inner radiation belt. It was argued that processes drive the trapped protons in the radiation belt into the regions where stable trapping is not possible and thus contribute to the observed protons in these regions. We were further able to compute the total diffusing flux; however, it was assumed that both the Splash and the Re-entrant albedo proton fluxes were equal. Since this assumption was not very accurate, an incorrect estimation of the diffusing proton flux might have resulted. In addition to the above, the flux and the energy spectrum of the albedo protons were derived at three different regions. These were then compared with the results of other investigators. Discrepencies in both the flux and the energy spectrum were observed. Our flux value of 1.05 protons/m² -sec-ster-Mev for the Re-entrant albedo at an energy of 85 Mev in the region where L = 2.5 was about a factor of two and a half higher than estimated by Ray (1967). No west-east asymmetry was observed in the true proton flux (proton flux obtained by subtracting the background contamination from the observed proton flux), within the limits of the experimental error. Since such an asymmetry was expected if we assume that the albedo protons alone constitute the true protons, it was concluded …

Estimation Of Growth Curves By Least Square Splines, Dorothy Rybaczyk Pathak

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

The primary object of this dissertation is to present some con­tributions to the theory of estimation of growth curves by least square splines in the presence of unknown unequal variances. The theoretical developments rest heavily on the standard least square theory and the theory of polynomial spline functions. A modifica­tion of the Aitken procedure of weighted least squares is used to estimate regression parameters. It is shown that this modification of the Aitken procedure does not unduly influence the nice least square properties of estimators so obtained; the estimators re­ main unbiased, consistent and asymptotically efficient.

Objective Strategy Assessment In Reception Paradigm Concept Identification, Elliot Jay Rapoport

Psychology ETDs

The ability of the Fink (1972) dimension selection technique to assess reception strategies was tested using an affirmational concept learning task involving a reversal shift. The Fink technique employs a distributed stimulus set composed of three binary dimensions and a procedure which requires the subject to make an overt response in order to sample each dimension. The subjects’ dimension selection responses were categorized into the reception strategies of wholism and partism and were found to be moderately predictive or performance. The reversal shift data were found to provide confirmation for the assertion that, in the presence of objectively determined terminal …

Modeling Ephemeral Stream Channel Development In A Semiarid Upland Environment, William Kaufman Hodges

Geography ETDs

The ephemeral stream channel is a particularly obvious and distinctive hydrologic feature of the American Southwest. This is notably true of northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona where a semiarid upland environment, characterized by relatively flat-lying or gently warped sedimentary rocks, has been subjected to the development of can­yons and basins with moderate to deep alluvial fills. This area provides an ideal setting for a geomorphological phenomenon known as "valley trenching."
