Clinical Treatments Of Depression., Deborah Kay Orth

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Depression seems to be a major problem for college students who are coping with academic and social pressures, as well as defining goals for life and career, often without adequate support systems. Therapy is frequently sought by moderately depressed college students. This treatment teaches the individual a style of thinking or a way of approaching their difficulties, but in one study, the 42 percent who did seek therapy rated the effectiveness as only 3.5 on a 5-point scale (Bosse, 1975). Students perhaps also need a means of coping that they can rely on in addition to the insight and behavior …

A History Of The Samia Location In Western Kenya, 1890-1930., Jacob Raymond Seitz

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This is a study of development and change on the local level in East Africa during the introduction and establishment of colonialism. Over the years the emphasis in African History has gradually shifted from the study of imperial policy and the Europeans' role to that of the African inhabitants. Until recently, this new focus has resulted principally in valuable studies of the precolonial life and migrations. Now it is the first decades of the twentieth century that are under scrutiny. This period, spanning the establishment of the colonial system, undoubtably had a great impact on independent Kenya.

Criteria For Coal Reserve Evaluation Of Some Breathitt Formation Coals In Eastern Kentucky Using Depositional Systems Analysis., Larry Ralph Powell

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study is directed towards better insights into the sedimentological variables which affect coal exploration and development. With continuing growth of the coal industry, a better understanding of the geologic conditions governing coal quality and quantity is necessary for efficient coal development and utilization. With most of the strippable, thick coals under development, the importance of understanding depositional systems within the ancient coal-forming swamps becomes more important as more deep mines are opened in thinner seams. The development of these coal mines benefits from an understanding of rapid facies changes characteristic of coal swamp environments that anticipate coal-seam discontinuities, coal-seam …

Chemical Composition And Nutritional Benefits Of Acid Resistant Hemicellulose., James Edward Williams

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The present work was conducted to determine the influence of methods of preparation of corncob acid-resistant hemicellulose on its chemical composition and rat growth stimulation. ARH preparations involved either treatment with cation resin, solubilization of crude ARH and reprecipitation in ethanol, treatment of the hydrolysate with carbon or recovery of the non-dialyzable portion of corncob hydrolysate. All ARH preparations significantly improved growth and feed utilization of rats when fed at the 0.05% level of the diet. The reduction of the phenolic content of the ARH preparation did not influence rat growth. The carbohydrate components of the ARH preparation were similar …

The Occurrence Of Prototheca In Nature., Edward Allen Barnett

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Prototheca Isolation Medium (PIM) was proven to be effective in selectively isolating Prototheca, even from heavily contaminated natural sources. Measurements of the autospores of 125 isolates of Prototheca indicated that there might exist two sub-genera, one with small autospores and one with large autospores. The addition of one percent sodium acetate to PIM resulted in a medium that inhibited the growth of isolates of the small spored sub-genus while allowing isolates of the large spored sub-genus to grow normally. A survey of various environmental habitats showed that Prototheca was common in aquatic habitats such as streams and sewage. The largest …

Factors Influencing Black Bear Habitat Selection On Cheat Mountain, West Virginia, Thomas O. Miller

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The black bear (Ursus americanus Pallas) has occupied wild, inaccessible and sparsely inhabited areas throughout recent historic times. Their wariness, low population number s and secretive habits have made this species difficult to study, therefore, considerable speculation and misinformation has arisen regarding their activities. Until the advent of radio-telemetry and its r eady availability to researchers there was little chance to study individual free-roaming animals for any extended period of time.

The present study was initiated with the objective of describing black bear habitat in the Cheat Mountain area of West Virginia, and determining which factors influence usage of an …
