Introduction

The correlation of spectra, especially ultraviolet spectra, of hydrazones with their structure has resulted in considerable confusion because of the variations in spectra obtained from apparently the same basic chromophore.

The Teaching Of Reading In The United States, Blanche O. Bush

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The history of the teaching of reading in the United States is directly related to the background influences of the period. The changing institutions, religious, political and economic, are reflected in the aims, materials and procedures of reading in each era. In this paper the history of the teaching of reading has been traced from the early colonial period to the present time.

Toward Horizons Of Reading In The Aerospace Age, Barbara F. Edwards

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Milieu. We live in an age when reading is a subject of concern to the man on the street as well as to the scholar. The "This Week" section of recent Sunday newspapers serves as only one indication of the public interest in our subject. We live also in a time when scientific reasoning by a staff or team of administrators, teachers, and researchers is not only possible, but encouraged. We live at a time when the factors of group dynamics and individual counseling (6) are being considered as important elements in learning processes. In these things, all of us …

Effect Of Pulping Time On The Chemical Composition Of Cold Soda Pulp, Timothy K. Estes

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Literature Survey

Introduction

The cold soda pulping process was developed by the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, around 1950. It is a high yield process in which wood chips are softened by reacting with sodium hydroxide and then defiberized by mechanical refining. The yield is usually between 80%-95%.

Cold soda pulps with the following characteristics were used for this literature survey: The yields were between 80%-95%. The pulping temperatures were less than 40°C. The pulping operations were conducted under atmospheric pressure.

An Investigation Of The Influence Of Shearing Forces On Pulp Strength, Ronald O. Luedeke

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This thesis attempts to determine the importance of shearing forces in the strength development of a pulp.

Theoretically, if these shearing forces are able to flex the fibers and thereby reduce their stiffness, it follows that more intimate fiber to fiber contact will result with a related higher bonded area and consequent increased paper strength.

The pulp was subjected to the shearing forces in a Day sigma blade kneader at a high consistency. The treatment time was increased in sequence in an attempt to obtain the maximum strength development these shearing forces could produce.

The work certainly demonstrated that shearing …

The Effect Of Structure On The Stiffness Of Cylinder Board, Nelson D. Woodruff

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this thesis was to study the effect of board structure on the stiffness of cylinder board. This area was chosen as stiffness is one of the most important attributes of cylinder board and the literature survey revealed that very little work has been done in this area.

A new method for making multi-ply boards in the laboratory was developed. These boards were made in the British Sheet Machine under constant head and avoided the problems associated with wet-pressing individual plies together. This method was found to give reproduceable results.

At certain compositions, multi-ply boards made with kraft …

Comparison Of Alcohol Offenses Of College Students With Those Of Persons In A Similar Age Group Who Have Not Had College Experience, Cornelis Laban

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of the study was to·make· a comparison of the drunk driving behavior of college students with that· of those persons in a similar age group who have not had college experience. There is very little published information about the statutes governing "driving under the influence of liquor" (D.U.I.L.). The educable nature of persons involved in such offenses 8 and the probable anti-social and sociopathic behavior in individuals leading up to the offenses, also need thorough investigation. Very pertinent also is the question whether or not there is a biological basis for this particular behavior; an understanding of …

A Pilot Study Of The Upper Pitch Limits Of Young Children As Measured By Psychogalvanic Skin Resistance Audiometry, Lawrence M. Smith

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the upper pitch limits of hearing in young children as a test of a hypothesis proposed by Fatsinger (1959).

According to the place theory of hearing, the low pitch sounds are located at the apex or wide part of basilar membrane, and are mediated by the long fibers, and the high pitch sounds at the basal or narrow part of the basilar membrane, and are mediated by the short fibers. Therefore, a size change which involved the basilar membrane could cause a shit in the pitch sensitivity range by producing longer fibers …

A Method Of Evaluating First Line Supervisory Training, Benjamin I. Killian

Masters Theses

Preface

This study is prepared to establish a method of evaluating supervisory training. An attempt to evaluate the following hypotheses will be considered: (1) There is a method of selecting the basic performance areas of a first line supervisor. (2) There are acceptable standards of performance in the basic area. (3) Performance appraisals prior to the introduction of training will determine sub-standard performance in the selected areas. (4) Follow-up performance appraisals will indicate the effectiveness of training in improving performance without undue contamination of the criteria by other influences.

During the study other areas of investigation to be examined are: …

The Rate Of Weakening Of Paper Due To An Applied Stress, Emmett F. Finley

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

When a load is applied to a sheet of paper, the paper may break immediately or it may support the load for some period of time. It is recognized that the paper, while under a stress less than that required to cause immediate break, is weakened until it is finally unable to support the stress. Since in the normal use of paper the stress to which paper is subjected is less than that needed to cause immediate break this weakening is an important factor in many cases.

A few examples of such cases are the winding of the paper …

Faculty Publications 1957-61, Western Michigan University

Faculty Contributions (1950-1981)

Faculty Publications 1957-61 is the first major compilation of the publications of the faculty of Western Michigan University. Compilations like this one are not unique. Nearly all the major universities, as well as many of the smaller institutions of higher education, have prepared them for a number of years. It seemed reasonable, when the enterprise was first planned, for Western Michigan University to publish the compilation as one of the Faculty Contributions of the School of Graduate Studies.

A Survey Of Merit Rating In Industry, N. K. Nahavandi

Masters Theses

Introduction

Personnel administration is but one phase of industrial management. It has been defined as:

"Personnel administration means organizing and treating people at work so that their effort. singly and collectively, will bring the best results possible. This requires quite specific information about the employee and his job. It implies knowing what the employee is doing, and how and why it differs from what is wanted of him. It implies having some idea of the employees' capacity in relation to the responsibilities of his present assignment. It implies having a measure of the employers' contribution to the organization, and understanding …

Studies Involving Modification Of The Megregian Method Of Fluoride Determination And Application To Fluoride Balance Studies In Infants, Gene R. Wright

Masters Theses

Introduction

At the request of Dr. Frederick Margolis, M.D., and in association with The Upjohn Company, this research problem was initiated as a participation in the investigation of whether or not fluoride ingested as a constituent of the Upjohn 47-M liquid vitamin preparation is retained in an infant's body to the same extent as is fluoride ingested as the sodium salt by itself--either in solution or in tablet form. The retention patterns may be studied indirectly by measuring the amounts of fluoride excreted in the urine and in the feces during each of a series of equal time intervals after …

Provocative Reading Experiences, Emeline J. Mccowen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

We are well aware of the complexities we face today in teaching our children to be able readers. It is a much bigger problem than to be able to verbalize words phonetically. Experts in the field of research in psychology, child development, and reading have contributed a great deal of valuable knowledge to aid teachers in the skill of teaching children to read. These ideas are being successfully practiced and we are producing capable readers. However, there is one phase of reading that needs greater stress. To derive the greatest benefit from living in our democracy and to cope with …

Why Can't Johnny Read Better?, Kristen D. Juul

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

During recent years there has been considerable concern among the public with regard to the reading ability of school children. A great deal of unreasonable and some justified criticism has been leveled against the public schools for their purported inability to teach children to read well. Simple causes and simple solutions have been offered. Actually the problem is an exceedingly complex one, and the more we learn about factors related to reading retardation, the more we are becoming conscious of how little we know.
