An Application Of Generalized Means, Sidney D. Nolte

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The generalized mean M(x,y) is defined to be Ψ-1 [pΨ (x) + aΨ (y)] where p, a>0, p + a = 1 and Ψ (x) is monotone and continuous.

This mean is applied to the second difference. Δ²(f: x, h) = f(x+h) + (f-h)-2f(x) to form a generalized second difference Δ²Ψ (f: x, h) = MΨ [f(x+h), f(x-h)] - f(x)..

A study is made of functions whose generalized second differences satisfy certain conditions. Maxima of classes of generalized quasi-smooth functions are examined. It is the purpose of this note to apply the generalized mean to …

Linear Programming In High School Mathematics, Vernon Earl Cotter

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

"Modern mathematics," a term associated with experimental and revised programs for the teaching of mathematics, should be interpreted only in part as meaning new subject matter. It is true that modern mathematics is associated with such subject matter as the theory of sets and the revision of the definitions of 'relation' and 'function.' But it also connotes a new spirit, a new method of approach, and a new organization of material and problems. Also it may retain much of the traditional subject matter. Of course the order of presentation may be changed and traditional subject matter bounds may be disregarded …

A Study Of The Action Of 1-Pentanol In The Debromination Of 1, 2-Dibromoethane By Zinc, Jerry Frederick Janssen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The fact that rapid evolution of ethene took place at moderately low temperatures in the presence of 1-pentanol suggested that the alcohol perhaps played a less evident role in the reaction than was previously supposed. The problem of this study is to elucidate the role of 1-pentanol in the reaction of 1, 2-dibromoethane with zinc .

Birth Weight Relations In Human Multipara, E. V. Enzmann, S. D. Miroyiannis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It has been shown previously that the weight (W) of an entire litter of newborn young of multiparous mammals is proportional to the number (N) in the litter. This proportionality may be expressed by the empirical equation

K

W=N+C

where K is assumed to have the properties of a partition coefficient and expresses the manner in which a limited nutritional supply is shared by the members oi the litter. This relationship also holds for human multipara, though it is modified by the inability of the human mother to increase the nutritional level to the same extent as other species we …

A Study Of The Effects Of The 1958 Junior High School Seminar In Science And Mathematics, Iowa State Teachers College, Upon The Pupils’ Attitudes Toward And Interest In Science And Mathematics, William Richards Babcock

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The current emphasis which the "atomic age" has placed upon the education of "gifted" or "talented" pupils in science and mathematics has provided educators with an opportunity to devise and implement new and unique programs in the elementary and secondary schools. Educators have utilized two approaches in meeting the challenge--acceleration and enrichment. Many secondary schools in all parts of the United States are offering pupils opportunity to take more advanced course work than the traditional curriculum had allowed. College courses, as well as high school subjects, are being offered at the high school level both during the regular academic year …

A Study Of Emotion In Selected Plays Of George Bernard Shaw, Winifred Hager Holkeboer

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of an infinite number of descriptions of George Bernard Shaw portrays him as a young Irishman who descended upon England with broom in hand, and, finding it full of philistine abominations, proceeded to make things lively for his self-satisfied host by sweeping the stables clean. Any sensible estimate of this remarkable man must at least admit to his having left England a different place than it· was when he found it. Indeed, his influence has extended beyond the bounds of his time and place; he stood like· a great cosmic giant astride the span of a near-century-one foot planted …

Relation Of Grade-Point Averages And Placement Test Scores To Analytic Tendency And To Performance On The Iowa Pursuitmeter, Guy H. Miles, Don Lewis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Miles, in two closely related investigations (5, 6), dichotomized male subjects on the basis of their statements as to how they had gone about solving several block design problems of the Kohs type. The two categories were analyzers and non-analyzers. Subjects were classified as analyzers if their a posteriori verbalizations indicated a tendency, at the conceptual level, to break each design down into parts before any blocks were actually moved. They were classified as non-analyzers if their statements failed to suggest that a breaking-into-parts approach had been employed. In the common run of male undergraduate students at the State University, …
