A Study Of The Blocking Of Polyvinylidene Chloride In A Rewound Roll, Lowell L. Knapp

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The blocking tendency of polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) coated paper, front to back, in a rewound roll against a clay-coated surface was investigated. Pressure, temperature, contact time, relative humidity, and thickness of the PVDC layer or layers were all found to be important in the blocking of PVDC coated paper. Autohesion was considered to be the most probable mechanism of blocking. Autohesion involves the interweaving of the polymer molecules of both coated surfaces when they are in contact and under pressure at high temperatures. One way of eliminating blocking is by completely drying (crystallizing) the PVDC film and thereby reducing the …

Community College Counseling Emphasizing Student Personnel Services And Placement, Ronald R. Crandell

Masters Theses

The internship experience at Jackson Community College enabled the investigator to experience the actual functions of a community college counselor. It provided an opportunity to interact with staff members, interview different employers, and present placement information for students and faculty. Many times during the internship there were opportunities to plan specific objectives and implement them. Completing the actual objectives and responsibilities of a counselor in a community college setting has been extremely valuable. A traditional college class could not have duplicated these types of experiences.

The Dimetalation And Subsequent Functionalization Of 1,3-Dimethylnaphthalene By Means Of Amylsodium In The Presence Of Certain Tertiary Amines, Atilla Tuncay

Masters Theses

I. Introduction

It is well known that the hydrogen atoms of a methyl group directly attached to an aromatic system are sufficiently acidic to be abstracted by suitable bases to generate the corresponding α-anion.^1,2 These monoanions have frequently served as suitable intermediates for the formation of a large variety of a-condensation products in good to excellent yields² On the other hand, attempts to obtain α,α-dianions from various dimethylaromatic systems have met with limited success.² Due to the lack of sufficiently strong bases, dimetalation products were obtained only in poor yields even at high temperatures and prolonged reaction …

The Effects Of A Programmed Sex Education Course On Institutionalized Mental Patients, Alan G. Zukerman

Masters Theses

There is an apparent need for sex education programs targeted to young institutionalized mental patients. A sex education course was developed that could be easily disseminate and have potential general applications and utility in institutional settings. Data were taken on the effectiveness of the course, its effects on sexual and sex-related values of the subjects, its influence on selfratings of behavior, and evaluative responses of the subjects to the course itself. A pretest-posttest experimental design was used with a control group included. The results showed that factual knowledge in sexual areas was significantly increased by the course. Experimental subjects' values …
