Reflections On Women Scientists And The Iowa Academy Of Science, Lois Hattery Tiffany

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In this centennial year of the Iowa Academy of Science, various facets of scientific activity and development in the state of Iowa and the impact of the Iowa Academy are being examined. With our current awareness of equality, the contribution of women scientists to the Academy is a logical topic for comment. Perhaps in another hundred years it will not seem a necessary separate item to consider.

The Ionization Constants For Ethylenediamine, William A. Deskin, Gary Lord

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A continuing study in our laboratory has been the determination of formation constants for metal complexes. One of the methods (I) which we have used makes use of a competitive reaction of two ligands for coordination sites on the particular metal ion. The following equilibrium illustrates one of the reactions which has been studied.

Heirs, Ruth West Cole

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A creative project has been undertaken for a learning experience in order to better understand and appreciate past and contemporary works of fiction and attendant problems of fabulation for the ultimate purpose of improving guidance of students through literary studies. The project, a novel, demonstrates an attempt to dramatize part of the contemporary phenomenon of the individual's search for "self" within a family whose members rebel against or accommodate themselves to varying perceptions of authoritarian endoctrination and expectation. Although the major characters are women, Heirs is not designed to be a women's liberation story. Rather, the novel is a comic …

Iowa Teacher Perceptions Of K-6 Articulation In Large School Districts Employing K-6 Or K-12 Curriculum Directors, Dorothy Kessler Engstrom

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was concerned with finding out what perceptions K-6 classroom teachers would express about K-6 articulation within their districts. The study was also concerned with finding out what difference, if any, existed between the perceptions of teachers from districts with fulltime K-6 curriculum directors and the perceptions of teachers in districts with full-time K-12 curriculum directors.

It was expected that teachers in both groups of school districts would express the need for more K-6 articulation awareness and activities within their districts, but that teachers in districts employing a K-6 curriculum director would indicate that their districts were doing more …

Perception And Production Of /R/ In Four-Year-Old Children: A Comparison Of Two Points In Time, Mary Pamela Hauser

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The literature suggests a relationship between the perception and production of speech sounds. Data has been gathered from normal and sound-defective children who were three years, five years, and older. No comparative research has been done with four-year-old children. Furthermore, no longitudinal data has been gathered on a single group of children. This study was essentially a replication of the Bronsema (1974) research. Specifically, it compared the self-perception and other-perception performances of Bronsema's research population, in 1975, the year following the Bronsema study. The examiner tested the children, who were now four years old, and compared the 1975 inter-group results, …

Germination Ecology Of Three Chihuahuan Desert Crucifers, Larry L. Bell

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Seeds of Lepidium lasiocarpum Nutt., Lepidium medium Greene var. medium, and Descurainea pinnata (Walt.) Britton ssp. ochroleuca (Woot.) Detling, native to the Chihuahuan Desert, were tested for their germination responses under conditions of constant and fluctuating temperatures, light and dark sensitivity, and different seed depths in soil. The effects of a three day drying period alternating with one day of moisture at field capacity was also investigated. All three species germinated optimally under fluctuating temperatures with low temperatures near 5-10°c and high temperatures near 20-25°C. L. lasiocarpum seeds responded better to fluctuating temperatures of 15°c magnitude than to fluctuations of …

Analysis Of The Occupational Status And Choice Patterns Of Women, Terry L. Besser

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

There were two parts of this study. The first part involved a determination of the status of women. Occupation, education and income criterion were used and it was concluded that educationally and occupationally, women were increasing their status relative to men. But the income of working women in contrast to men employed in the same fields was at an all time low. The central locus of the low occupational status of women was seen to be in women's continual choice of pursuing traditional female jobs. This leads to the second part of this study which was concerned with why women …

The Effects Of A Performance-Based Training Program On Subsequent Teacher Effectiveness As Rated By School Principals, Joel Christian Ortéga

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Introduction. The Performance-Based Teacher Education movement is attracting an increasing number of followers. Although there are many concerns yet to be revised, the potential advantages render this one of the most promising educational movements of recent times. Since the movement is somewhat in its beginning stages, the major impact of this type of program is yet to be determined.

Problem. Many teacher education institutions, recognizing the problems that are in the traditional approaches to teacher education, have already begun to study and change their programs and courses toward a Performance-Based Teacher Education program. This being a relatively new approach to …

Most graphic arts textbooks contain very little information about industrial screen printing and how it is accomplished on cylindrical, conical and other non-flat surfaces. It is the specific purpose of this research report to explore the area of cylindrical screen printing with emphasis on the following objectives:

1. To become familiar with the history and development of screen process printing.

2. To become familiar with the materials, methods, equipment and technical knowledge used in industry to accomplish this process.

3. To gain some insight concerning the career opportunities and financial trends of the screen process printing industries.

4. To develop …

Electronic Color Scanners, Kenneth Francis Hird

Graduate Research Papers

Process color photography has been continually developing for many years. In fact, color printing techniques are still benefiting, through additional sophisticated requirements, and from a discovery made about 300 years ago. At that time Sir Isaac Newton, British scientist, mathematician • and philosopher, placed a glass prism in the path of a narrow beam of sunlight entering his room through a pinhole in an opaque window shade. He determined that ordinary white light is a mixture of colored lights.

Unfortunately, in practice, ideal pigments for three-color inks do not exist and this impasse greatly complicates the job for the photo-processor. …
