A Study Of Froth Flotation For Deinking Of Uv-Cured Inks, Prasit Pornpaitoonsakul

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Deinkability of UV-cured inks becomes increasingly important as more printers turn to this faster and easier printing method. Unfortunately, according to Ortner, Wood and Gartermann all known deinking process and formulations failed to deink these printing inks. Therefore it was the objective of this study to determine the feasibility of deinking paper printed with this new solventless ink. A critical review of the literature on flotation deinking was made. Zeta potential of the UV-cured ink was measured. The results were used to explain the effect of the kind and quantity of chemicals used in the flotation operation were investigated. It …

Reading--Do We Need To Know What It Is Before We Try To Teach It?, Dorothy Garman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

If, for a brief moment, we could look into a child's mind while he or she were reading, would we find the child's approach to reading compatible with the teacher's approach to teaching? The answer would probably depend upon how the teacher views the reading process. If the teacher believes that reading is a process of identifying individual letters or individual words, then the teacher will probably not be inclined to teach in the way that the child is inclined to read.

Science Fiction: The Future In The Classroom, Joan B. Grady

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Science fiction is a literary genre that has gained more respectability in the past few years than it had experienced previously. One can remember trying to find examples of this genre to read. Jules Verne and H. G. Wells could be found if one were educated enough in the genre to seek out these authors. When pressed, a librarian might try to foist Plato's Republic or More's Utopia off on the neophyte science fiction seeker. For the most part, those interested in this genre had to seek outside the confines of the public library to find examples of science fiction …

Surveys were sent to 100 public school administrators in a mid-western metropolitan area.

No special supervisors (language arts curriculum, personnel. etc.) were included in the study.

Effectiveness Procedures For Teaching Reference Study Skills, Donald C. Cushenbery

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In many elementary developmental reading programs, the areas of word attack and comprehension traditionally receive major attention with respect to reading skills instruction. In some other cases there is much emphasis with respect to phonics and other forms of decoding with less priority given to comprehension. Typically, the skill area receiving the least amount of importance is that of reference study skills since it is assumed by some teachers that if a student is efficient in word attack and comprehension, he/she will naturally transmit these skills to assignments dealing with library resources.
