A Study Of Adapted Physical Education Programs In Iowa’S Area Education Agencies, Dean Alan Becker

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to describe the current status of adapted physical education in the 15 Area Education Agencies (AEAs) in the state of Iowa. AEAs are intermediate educational units which aid school districts in the provision of special education and special education services in Iowa. A mail questionnaire was directed to a designated contact person at each of the 15 AEAs. Information on the availability of adapted physical education programs from the AEAs, organization and scope of the programs, methods of delivery, categories of handicapped students served, staffing and personnel, and use of Individual Education Programs (IEPs) …

Solar Radiation In Iowa: The Historical Record, Laurent Hodges

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Historical records spanning over 20 years have been analyzed to determine the long-term monthly average daily solar radiation falling on a horizontal surface in Ames, Iowa. This value has been used to estimate the long-term monthly average daily solar radiation falling on surfaces of other tilts (30°, 60°, and 90° relative to the horizontal) and orientations (at 30° intervals from south to north). Some important features of the results are described. A BASIC computer program is available which can be used to estimate the solar radiation on a surface of arbitrary tilt and orientation.

Adolescent Suicide: An Investigation Of Causes And Prevention Measures, Pamela J. Wehrkamp

Graduate Research Papers

Suicide is not a recent phenomenon among adolescents. Young people have taken their own lives for as long as history has been recorded. It is not coincidence, or by accident, that literature, too, is full of reports of adolescent suicides (Konopka, 198J). Ophelia drowns herself after she is rejected by Hamlet. Romeo kills himself when he believes his beloved to be dead, who in turn kills herself when realizing Romeo had committed suicide.

Performance Of Aphasic Listeners On An Expanded Rtt Subtest Presented Verbally And Non-Verbally, Ann Elizabeth Folkestad

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A controversy exists in the literature concerning the nature of aphasia. Some authorities believe that aphasia involves a loss of the linguistic elements of language. Other investigators maintain that aphasia is a performance deficit founded in a reduced ability to use essentially-preserved linguistic competence. This study addressed aspects of the above controversy. Asked specifically was the question of whether the mechanism underlying aphasia involves a neurolinguistic loss and thus, is specific to language, or alternately, involves a non-language specific interference with the accessing of retained capacity. This investigation examined the following issues: whether there are one or several patterns of …

The Angler’S Angle: An Ethnography Of The Bass Fishermen, Ellen Ray Millhollin Irish

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The Angler's Angle is an ethnographic (cultural description) of the bass fishermen . The purpose of this thesis is two-fold: (1) to present a better understanding of the ethnographic process and its usefulness as a too l within the social sciences, and (2) to illustrate this usefulness by the study of a cultural scene that often goes unnoticed in our Western society. An examination in Chapter 1 on the background of cultural studies (undertaken for the most part to de scribe non-Western societies), sets the tone for the use of ethnography today. Research on sub-cultures within our own society is …

An Attempted Preparation Of Cis- And Trans- Chlorobis(Ethylenediamine)Iodochromium(Iii) Salts, Bai-Hao Chen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

An investigation of the preparation of cis- and trans chlorobis(ethylenediamine)iodochromium(III) salts by the thermal decomposition of cisaquachlorobis(ethylenediamine)chromium(IlI) iodide 1-hydrate was made. The trans-isomer was precipitated from a filtered aqueous solution of the crude product by the addition of sodium perchlorate. The cis-isomer was separated from the residue of the preparation of the transisomer by cation-exchange chromatograohy. Elemental analyses showed that the two products were not pure cisand trans-chlorobis(ethylenediamine)iodochromium(III) complexes. From the halide to chromium ratios it was proposed that the trans-isomer was contaminated by transdichlornbis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) perchlorate and the cis-isomer was contaminated by cisbis(ethylenediamine)diiodochromium(III) cation.

The Relative Importance Of Competencies Needed By Industrial Energy Managers From The Larger Manufacturers In Iowa, Timothy J. Eibes

Graduate Research Papers

The importance of identifying the competencies needed by energy managers is reflected in the seriousness of the energy problem and the impact it has on the industrial setting. The newness and ambiguity of EM, coupled with the increasing importance of the concept, add to the need for identifying the necessary competencies required in managing energy.

Ideally, once these competencies are identified, they should be the focus of those educational curriculums designed to produce energy managers. Currently there are only 25 post-high school institutions in the U.S. that have energy management curriculums (The College Blue Book, 1981). Less than half of …

Fuel And Process Efficiency's Affect On The Selection Of Surface Heat-Treating Processes, Christopher Scott Thorman

Graduate Research Papers

Ever since the advent of the Industrial Revolution part components and tooling have required production heat-treating to maximize life. Various forms of heat-treatment are available to heat-treating technologists and engineers, all of which have their advantages. To maximize investment, managers must decide between new processes to gain efficiency and the updating of current process to improve efficiency. Cost considerations are important but not the only ones. Quality and safety are also important to remember.

Production capacity, both present and future, is also related to cost effectiveness of heat-treating process. The heat-up and cool-down aspect which is a vital characteristic to …

The Photovoltaic Cell: History, Operation, Current Technology, Marc L. Luksetich

Graduate Research Papers

Historically, practical applications of solar cells were of single crystal silicon material (Rauschenbach, 1980). In the mid 1970s, the U.S. Government actively began to subsidize solar cell development and use (Maycock & Stirewalt, 1981). This funding provided a major contribution for expanded research, development, and markets. Consequently, manufacturing and final-product costs have been reduced with a corresponding increase in solar cell efficiency (Merrigan, 1982). The main objective of this study was to analyze literature from photovoltaic cell manufacturers regarding their current production methods, materials, and uses, and to report the findings.

Shear Characteristics Of Motor Oils Conforming To The American Petroleum Institute's 1981 Engine Service Classification, D. Joseph Clausen

Graduate Research Papers

The problem was to determine if shear (slipperiness) characteristics differ between various SF motor oils. Oils tested met SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) lOw-40 viscosity requirements, and API (American Petroleum Institute) engine service classification requirements for 1981 SF quality motor oils.

Four basic types of oil were tested: (a) mineral; (b) synthetic; (c) friction modified; and (d) extended drain. A gravity powered device was designed and used as a testing apparatus to measure force needed to pull a weight across a lubricated surface.

Findings indicated that friction modified oils (Pennzoil P-Z-L and Arcographite) were the most slippery. Other oils tested, …
