Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis Of The Periphyton Of Sloan’S Crossing Pond, Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky, Judith Orser

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Periodic collections were obtained from Sloan’s Crossing Pond, Mammoth Cave National Park, for one year to analyze, quantitatively and qualitatively, the periphyton community and determine patterns of periodicity. Productivity was measured by dry and ash-free dry weights and chlorophyll a content.

Productivity was lowest during the winter months and highest between July and September. Dry weight showed a range of 3.0-243 mg/m­²/day, the peak occurring in August. Ash-free dry weight also reached its annual peak in August at 92 mg/m²/day. Chlorophyll a followed the pattern of dry weight except its peak was obtained in July at …

Patient-Technique Orientation, Personality Factors, And Training Effects In Nursing Students, Gerald Case

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this study was to determine if nursing students could be differentiated along a patient-technique nursing orientation continuum, and whether there would be a shift in the orientation of student nurses subsequent to participating in a training program for nurses. This study attempted to determine if personality traits could be used as predictors of the patient-technique orientation of the student nurses and if the personality of the student nurses remained stable over one year. Thirty-four student nurses in the two-year associate degree nursing program in a southern regional university were administered the nursing Pictures Interest Test (NPIT), the …

Ecotypic Differentiation In Ohio & Mississippi Populations Of Acer Negundo L., Anthony Greco

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Laboratory investigations of Acer negundo populations from two widely separated habitats revealed distinct patterns of ecotypic differentiation in budbursting, leaf fall, and chlorophyll levels. Second year seedlings of Mississippi seed origin had complete leaf emergence before any evidence of budbursting in the Ohio progeny of similar age. Leaf fall patterns showed a clear difference between the two populations with Ohio plants dropping their leaves 2.5 weeks prior to complete defoliation in the Mississippi progeny. Significant differences in chlorophyll levels were demonstrated with the more northern (higher latitude) Ohio population showing consistently greater amounts of chlorophyll per gram dry weight than …

An Analysis Of The Heavy Metal Content Of The Scales Of Several Fishes In Southwestern Kentucky, Thomas Dahl

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Scales of the stoneroller, Campostoma anomalum (Rafinesque), common shiner, Notropus cornutus (Mitchill), and the bluntnose minnow, Pimephales notatus (Rafinesque) were analyzed by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry to determine levels of cadmium, calcium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, nickel and zinc. Metal concentrations were determined seasonally and relationship established between scale metal content and environmental water metal levels.

Calcium, iron manganese and zinc were found in all samples analyzed. Cadmium, copper, lead and nickel were not observed in measurable quantities.

Metal concentrations varied interspecifically, but most showed little fluctuation in response to increased metal content of the water. Elemental composition of …

The Induction Of Thy -1.2 Antigen Expression In Murine Bone Marrow Cells Incubated In Vitro With Immune Serum, Terry Knight

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Adult BALB/c mice were immunized with C57BL/6 spleen cells first on day 0 and again on day 8 of the experimental procedure. Serum was collected from these animals on day 0 (before the first immunization), day 4, day 8 (before the second immunization), day 12, and day 16. Two groups of normal BALB/c bone marrow cell suspensions were incubated with the experimental immune sera: and one of the groups of cell suspensions was subsequently incubated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Following the incubation steps, both groups of cell preparations were assayed for their ability to absorb the activity of the anti-Thy-1.2 serum. …

Removal Of Nitrogen & Sulfur From Coal-Derived Liquids & Identification Of Nitrogen & Sulfur Compounds In Coal-Derived Liquids, Tay-Yean Lin

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Since all the nitrogen compounds that have been identified in coal-derived liquids in the past have been basic in character, the effect of an acid-wash on the nitrogen content of coal-derived liquids was examined. Because sulfuric acid is the cheapest of the commerical strong acids, it was the natural choice, and its use was examined in detail. The greater the concentration of the sulfuric acid used, the greater the amount of nitrogen removed. :he sulfur compounds in coal-derived liquids were not removed noticeably by extraction with sulfuric acid. Column chromatography is a possible technique for removal of nitrogen compounds. The …

Report On The Teaching Component Of Faculty Loads, Wku University Senate

Faculty Senate

This study of faculty loads is in response to widely expressed concerns of the senate regarding perceived differences in work required of the various members from Western's teaching faculties. The entire senate eligibility list was used as the sample because it, having been screened for senate eligibility, represents our teaching faculties, as distinguished from the administrative faculty, or other nonteaching personnel, and it is the senate for whom this report was prepared.

Wisc-R Short Forms For Identification Of Intellectually Sub-Normal Children, John Ward

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this study was to develop short forms of the WISC-R for use in identifying children as intellectually average or below average. The national WISC-R standardization sample and a local WISC-R generalization sample were used. Both samples were restricted to those subjects with Full Scale IQ scores less than or equal to 100. Five different development procedures were used. Three procedures used stepwise multiple regression and two procedures used multiple discriminant analysis. The short forms developed by the multiple discriminant analysis were the most accurate. The administration time per subject was reduced but scoring complexity was increased. Usable, …

The Poetic Theory Of T.S. Eliot: An Investigation, Jane Cooksey

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Few critics have had a greater impact upon the theory of poetry than T.S. Eliot. His critical works, spanning the decades of his literary career, embody a theory of poetry and by a careful scrutiny of his many essays, reviews and interviews, it is possible to formulate definite requirements for works in the genre of poetry. Beginning with the essay “Tradition and the Individual Talent” in 1919, Eliot stresses certain aspects of poetry that must be carefully considered by the poet, and Eliot does not radically alter his attitudes throughout his career.

Eliot insists in his earliest essays that the …

The Effect Of Spleen Cells From F1 Hybrid Mice Undergoing A Graft-Versus Most Reaction Upon The Humoral Immune Response Of Parental Mice, Elizabeth Schmidt

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Mice undergoing a graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR) exhibit a surppressed immune response. Cells responsible for this suppression have been found to be localized in the spleen. Thus, in this research, a study was made to evaluate the effect of spleen cells from F­₁ mice undergoing a GVHR upon the humoral immune response to sheep erythrocytea (SRBC) in parental mice. An attempt was made to create an experimental model involving the transfer of suppressor cells in vivo. Parental BALB/c spleen cells were injected into (C57BL X BALB/c)F₁ hybrids to induce a GVH disease. Ten or twenty days later, spleen …

George Eliot And The Victorian Woman, Vicki Kirkland

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

After an examination of the typical Victorian woman was made from available authoritative sources it was found that George Eliot deviated from this standard and presented several views of the anti-Victorian woman in her novels. While the Victorian woman was pious, content with her role in life, poorly educated, dependent on the man in her life for answers to all problems, frail, feminine, attractive and frivolous, Eliot, on the other hand, contradicted these characteristics at almost every point. She refused to write the sort of entertaining stories the Victorian reader demanded, and furthermore, she viewed the Victorian home realistically.

Eliot …

The Photochemistry Of Alpha, Beta-Unsaturated Nitro Compounds, Liang-Wuen Chang

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

1-(9-Anthry1)-2-nitropropene and 1-(3-pyridy1)-2-nitropropene were prepared and irradiated with ultraviolet light.

Irradiation of 1-(9-anthry1)-2-nitropropene, in which the ethylene group was twisted out of the plane of the aromatic ring and the resonance stabilization between the ethylene group and the aromatic ring was limited , gave only cis-trans isomerization.

Irradiation of 1-(3-pyridy1)-2-nitropropene gave an oxime. The effect of added HC1 on the reactivity of 1-(3-pyridy1)-2-nitropropene showed that the rate for the formation of oximinoketone was decreasing., while irradiation of 1-phenyl-2-nitropropene with HC1 showed that the rate for the formation of oximinoketone was increasing.

From these observation, steric factors and resonance factors are …

A Folkloristic Look At Cockfighting, Marian Krontz

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Four Nebraska Cockfighters responded orally to queries about breeding, conditioning, heeling and handling of game fowl, and also about the public image and stereotypes of cockfighting and Its participants. Mastery of breeding, conditioning, heeling and handling is what makes a successful cockfighter, while association with the sport means having to face charges of cruelty to animals and accusations that only the seedier segments of society are attracted to it. Cockfighters are prepared to defend and rationalize their sport with a uniform set of excuses. They claim their adversaries are hypocritical in their accusations. Cockfighters also maintain that the Lord created …
