The Relationship Between Achievement And Laboratory Work In High-School Physics, Herbert W. Richter

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

The Purpose of the Study

The teaching of physics in the high school has been modified over the years to meet the changing needs of students and to include the developments of modern times. Together with these changes there has been in recent years much controversy concerning the purpose and value of laboratory work that accompanies the course. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between achievement in high-school physics and the amount of laboratory work that may be included.

Factors Of The Microclimate Affecting The Activity Of Fox Squirrels In Southwestern Michigan, Frederick K. Courville

Masters Theses

The fox squirrel, Sciurus niger rufiventer, is an important small game animal throughout much of the Midwest. Within the last thirty years several scientific investigations have been focused on this animal, the result being that its life history and ecology are fairly well known.

Concerning the range of the fox squirrel, D. L. Allen (1943:33) states that, in Michigan, the range began to increase with the advent of the pioneers. Baumgartner (1940) and J. M. Allen (1952) noted similar occurrences in their respective states, Ohio and Indiana. In Kansas, the fox squirrel, aided by agricultural land-use, has spread westward throughout …

Community Driver Education: A Study Of The Driver Education Program Of The Kalamazoo Area Safety Council, Milton J. Marovich

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

The Study and Its Background

In educating for life adjustment in the highly technological culture existent in this country, it is necessary to recognize the role of safety education. More recognition, however, will not instill the proper attitudes, habits, and physical skills necessary for safe and healthful living. Among all the need for safety education, the operation of a motor vehicle is only one area of concern to the safety-minded. But, to the citizenry it is perhaps the most cogent concern in as much as the consequences of unsafe acts involving use of the motor vehicle are …

Gladstone, The Irish Home Rule Question, And Its Effect On The Liberal Party, Kenneth John Van Dellen

Masters Theses

Introduction

Purpose

The Victorian Age of English history produced many great political leaders. Among the best known are Chamberlain, Disreali, Palmerston, Salisbury, and Gladstone. These politicians were able to pacify many dissatisfied groups and produce many reforms. Yet one of the biggest problems they had to face was left unsolved throughout the Victorian period, and the later Edwardian period as well. This problem was Ireland.

This research project will deal with the man who made one of the most persistent efforts of the nineteenth century to solve the Irish problem. It will attempt to show how William Ewart Gladstone become …

Differences In Picking Properties Between Casein And Soya Proteins, Shinya Takekawa

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

In this paper, the various picking properties are discussed at first, then in the experiment the fundamental differences between soya protein and casein in picking strength were studied.

Since it is considered that the penetration of the adhesives in a coating mixture into the base paper is important in picking, the picking strength of casein and soya protein were evaluated in functions of the beating level, sizing level and the amount of the adhesives. Whole experimental data were treated with the statistical method.

The results indicate that with the Wax test, the soya protein and casein have almost equal picking …

Cold Caustic Soda Pulping Of Eucalyptus Saligna, Tachipully A. Bhaskaran

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A survey has been prepared covering the literature on the cold caustic soda pulping of Eucalyptus saligna. The survey was broadened to include pulping of all species of Eucalyptus by this particular process.

Experimental pulping of Eucalyptus saligna by the cold caustic soda process under a variety of conditions as well as pulping of aspen wood under one condition led to the following conclusions:

(a) Eucalyptus saligna is suitable for the manufacture of cold caustic soda pulp.

(b) alkali concentration of 30 grams per liter on full size chips of Eucalyptus saligna produces the best strength properties and fairly good …

A Quantitative Study Of The Effect Of Cutting & Fibrillation On Certain Paper Properties, Edwin C. Abbott

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

From the time of the invention of paper about the year 105 by Ts'ai Lun, the process of beating the pulp as a preliminary to forming a sheet of paper has been recognized as of prime importance.

Early papermakers did not concern themselves greatly with theories; it was enough to know the process necessary to produce the various combinations of long and short, slow and free stocks according to the paper being made. When chemists began to enter the mills, however, their attention was naturally drawn to this important aspect of beating, and to the relationship between cellulose and …

Cold Caustic Soda Pulp From Aspen Wood Some Facts On The Material Dissolved By The Process, Ralph D. Herrick

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The available literature on the cold caustic soda pulping process, the composition of aspen wood, the composition of spent liquor from other pulping processes, paper chromatographic methods suitable for the analysis of wood and pulp hydrolyzates, and the material removed from aspen wood by the cold caustic soda pulping process have been surveyed.

Aspen wood hydrolyzates were analyzed using n-butanol: pyridine: water solvent system by paper chromatographic methods. Cold caustic soda pulp was prepared using a two hour soaking period at 25°^c temperature, and a 24 gram per liter caustic soda solution with a wood to liquor ratio …

Beliefs And Attitudes Of Recent High School Graduates On The Subject Of Beverage Alcohol, Francis E. Chape

Masters Theses

Introduction

During recent years, many investigations concerning the teen-ager and beverage alcohol have been carried out. A survey of the available literature on this subject revealed that most of the studies have been made to determine the attitudes toward drinking and the drinking behavior of this age group. These studies, Maddox¹ states, provide "The basis for generalizations about drinking in high school which are more substantial than impressionistic guesses."

Generalizations, however, have not been limited to drinking behavior alone. Alcohol education programs, required by law in every state in the union,² have received much criticism in recent times. …

Instructional Problems In Reading As Viewed By The Teacher And By Her Administrators

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Nine years ago a group of interested students of reading formed the Western Michigan University Chapter of the International Reading Association. Their purposes then, as now, were to encourage the study of reading problems at all educational levels, to stimulate and promote research in developmental, corrective and remedial reading, to study the various factors that influence progress in reading, to assist in the development of more adequate teacher-training programs, to disseminate knowledge helpful in the solution of problems related to reading, and to sponsor conferences and meetings planned to implement the purposes of the association.

The Use Of Diagnostic Procedures In Assessing An Educational Problem, Louis A. Govatos

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In every classroom there are pupils who fail to make satisfactory progress in their language development. Some youngsters do poorly in reading while others are unable to spell or write effectively. The pupil who continually performs at a sub-standard level of accomplishment in reading and spelling is often looked upon as being either "stupid" or lazy by his teacher. Today it is not uncommon to find youngsters being labelled in this manner.
