An Investigation Into The Possible Relationship Between Reading Ability And Functional Articulatory Defective Speech, Joan Elizabeth Weir

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between reading disability and defective articulation. An attempt has been made to determine whether or not children with functionally defective articulation have difficulty in reading.

It is conceivable that a deficiency in one or several areas of language development might impede or retard a child's academic achievement and might interfere with his emotional adjustment. This study was, therefore, undertaken, first to determine whether or not there is a difference in the reading ability of speech defective children as determined by valid and reliable measures, and the reading ability of …

On The Use Of Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Aminomethane As A Diluent In Quantitative Analyses Of Soil Bacteria, Barry L. Keller

Masters Theses

Introduction

Many investigations have been conducted in the field of soil microbiology during the past.six decades. Most notable among the contributors is S. A. Waksman whose voluminous works have established many of the procedures used in microbial analyses of soil. Yet, the one fact that is foremost to any reviewer of the literature covering this field is that no standardization of techniques for soil analyses exists. The following presentation deals with one method used to estimate the number of bacteria and actinomycetes in soil.

The use of Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (hereafter referred to as "Tris") is not new. Tris currently is used …

The Correlation Of Spectra And Steric Effects In Alkyl And Aryl Hydrazones, Dennis J. Weber

Masters Theses

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.

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 …

Child Development And Language Arts At Aquinas College, M. Bernetta

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Effective teaching of reading is a complex job that looks deceptively simple to the casual reader, or even to the University professor who has limited experience in teaching young children. The teaching of reading is over-simplified by the writers for most popular journals. On the other hand, the teaching of reading or being the best reader possible has some analogy to pursuing perfection, we are always only on the way, never at the peak of perfection. Each new insight into the reading process opens up vaster uncharted vistas and seas of wisdom, both as to the art of reading and …

The Construction Of Two Light Sources With Adequate Intensity For Magneto-Optical Rotatory Dispersion Experiments, Norman D. Love

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

The phenomenon known as the Faraday Effect was discovered by Michael Faraday in the year 1845.¹ He discovered that when an isotropic substance of high refractive index is placed in a strong magnetic field which is parallel to a beam of plane polarized light, the plane of polarization is rotated. The rotation is proportional to H, the strength of the magnetic field; and to 1, the length of the light path in the sample. If X represents the rotation in minutes then

X = VH1.

The proportionality constant V is known as Verdet's constant. The units …

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 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: …

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.

The Reaction Of N-Magnesium Halides On Nitriles In The Synthesis Of Amidines, Robert Bauer

Masters Theses

Introduction

Compounds of the amidine class have long been of interest because of their therapeutic and pharmacological properties. Members of this class of compounds have been shown to be effective in combating pathological conditions ranging from virus (11), bacterial (12), and protozoal infections (7) to diseases of the circulatory system (6), neoplasms (5) and hyperglucemia (21), Since many basic nitrogen compounds have been of interest in cancer chemotherapy, such as a variety of amino alcohols shown by the Upjohn Company to have anti-tumoral activity, it was felt that additional investigations into the use of amidines and amino amidines in this …

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 …
