Theses and Dissertations

In the period between 1961-1964 the North Dakota department of Public Instruction initiated long overdue changes in the science curriculum for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades of the public schools.

A Comparison Of The Late Wisconsinan Molluscan Fauna Of The Missouri Coteau District (North Dakota) With A Modern Alaskan Analogue, Samuel J. Tuthill

Theses and Dissertations

Study of forty fossiliferous sites in late Wisconsinan sediments from the Missouri Coteau district in central North Dakota has defined the molluscan fauna of the period of geologic time between 12,000 and 9,000 C14 years before the present. The fauna includes twenty-eight taxa of nonmarine gastropods and bivalves and is dominated by branchiates. The modern molluscan fauna of the Missouri Coteau district in North Dakota lacks four species which were resident in the late Wisconsinan and contains no unionids, one additional aquatic species, and is strongly dominated by pulmonate gastropods.

The geology of the Missouri Coteau has been interpreted as …

The Production Of Activated Carbon From North Dakota Leonardite, Donald E. Schroeder Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

The utilization of leonardite for the production of granular activated carbons was investigated. In granular activated carbons it is desirable to have hard dense granules to permit use without excessive disintegration. Two methods were used to modify the leonardite structure in order to obtain better granules. In one method the leonardite was put into colloidal suspension with certain alkalis. Chemicals were then added to the suspension. The additives used were calcium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, and calcium carbonate. This material was then granulated by drying. The second method for preparing granules consisted in pelletizing powdered leonardite in a rotary drum using …

Removal Of Sulfur Oxides From Synthetic Flue Gas By Lignite Fly Ash, Ellen Bernard Lukes

Theses and Dissertations

The absorption of sulfur dioxide from a synthetic flue gas by fly ash was investigatedo Tests were made by passing a flue gas mixture of known composition over various samples of lignite fly ash and then analyzing the samples by means of x~ray fluorescence

The significance of time, temperature, partial pressure of sulfur dioxide in the flue gas, and the composition of the ash was determined by statistical analysis„ Analysis of variance indicated that the four variables studied all had a significant effect on the amount of sulfur dioxide absorbed by the fly ash at the 99o5 percent confidence level,, …

Personality Types And Their Hypothesized Attributes: An Application Of Holland's Vocational Choice Theory, Ronald W. Kristjanson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of Holland's vocational choice theory for counseling with university students. More specifically, it attempted to determine whether or not Holland's theory provides a suitable framework for integrating the results of two commonly used counseling instruments: the SVIB and the EPPS .

A sample was drawn from those students tested by the University Counseling Center on both the SVIB and EPPS. This sample was, within reasonable limits, representative of the male student population dealt with by the Counseling Center. The sample contained 255 Ss.

For analysis of the data the student …

History Of Norwegian-Language Publications In North Dakota, Odd S. Lovoll

Theses and Dissertations

The thesis endeavors to give the history of Norwegian-language publications in North Dakota. The first paper, Red River posten, was established in 1878 and the last paper, Visergutten, was discontinued in 1955, only a few months after the main Norwegian organ in the state, Normanden, stopped publication. In this period there were fifty-six ventures, counting both the secular and the religious papers.

The Norwegian-American press concentrated in the three or four commercial centers in the Red River Valley. The majority of the papers were short-lived; only a few of them could celebrate even their decennial. They had a relatively small …

A Study Of Communication Patterns Of Teachers Using Teacher Aides As Compared To Those Not Using Teacher Aides, Richard W. Kunkel

Theses and Dissertations

Problem. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of teacher aides would show any change in teachers' patterns of communication.

Procedure. Teachers of three schools, paired with three other schools by factors such as plant facilities, student enrollment and student/ teacher ratio, served as the control group. The teachers of the three other schools served as the experimental group with teacher aides employed as the criterion measure. Ten trained observers in interaction analysis recorded the verbal classroom behavior of these teachers in the fall and again in the spring of the school term to indicate whether …

Verbal Discrimination Learning As A Function Of Manipulated Frequency And Length Of Study Interval, David R. Skeen

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this pair of studies was to investigate three hypotheses generated by the frequency theory of verbal discrimination learning. The frequency principle suggests that a number of sequential events occur in verbal discrimination learning and that each event in the sequence leads eventually to a greater number of frequency units being associated with the correct alternative in each verbal discrimination unit.

It was hypothesized that an increase in study time would be positively related to acquisition of a verbal discrimination list. Second, it was predicted that discrimination pairs constructed of high frequency stimuli would be more difficult to …
