The Effect Of Shear On Aqueous Alkaline Protein Solutions, Ronald E. Hostetler

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The effect of shear on aqueous alkaline protein solutions of casein and a medium viscosity soybean was studied. A Haake Rotovisco viscometer and an Eppenboch agitator were used as shear sources. The light scattering technique was employed to note the changes in molecular weight.

The protein solution was sheared at 20% solids, and clarified by centrifugation and filtration. The solutions were investigated with the light scattering photometer, at pH 10.3, 13% ammonium hydroxide (based on weight of protein), 23°C and between 0.2 and 2.0% concentration.

Results showed that denaturization, causing aggregation, resulted from pressure filtration during clarification of …

The Effect Of A Weight Agent On The Process Of Waste Activated Sludge, Ciro A. Mazzola

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The effect of clay as a weighted agent on waste activated sludges generated from the activated sludge process was measured with respect to the gravity thickening rate. In addition, final thickened sludge consistency, centrifuge and pressurized cake dryness, and filterability were measured.

The Effect Of Molecular Weight On The Retrogradation Of Amylose, Darryl O'Daye

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The effect of molecular weight on the rate of retrogradation of amylose was studied by monitoring turbidity (corrected for molecular shape) with a light scattering photometer. The results obtained showed that by acid modification of the amylose fraction of starch, the chain length of amylose molecules were reduced. The rate of retrogradation increased with decreasing molecular weight until a maximum was reached at 1 1/2 hours of hydrolysis. The rate of retrogradation then decreased with further decreasing molecular weight until retrogradation began to lessen.

Is It New?, Hazel Askin

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Education by hard, cold definition is a drawing, or leading out process-a growing into, from the Latin verb "educo." It would seem then, on the surface anyway, that any process or technique for teaching of reading or any other part of the curriculum would have been a gradual outgrowth of preceding techniques, philosophies or procedures. When news media and public communications systems, therefore, douse a reading and viewing public with buckets of intellectual baptism purported to be new and revolutionary, it would seem advisable for professional people to become acquainted with factual backgrounds of these so-called "new" techniques before becoming …

The Disadvantaged Child And His Problems With Regard To Reading, Joseph B. Tremonti

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the most fashionable topics for discussion among educators today is the problem of the education of the culturally deprived child. The few people trying to understand this child have given him a name, not a satisfactory name, but a name; they call him C( culturally deprived." What defines him is not an absence of money or nice clothes or good furniture or cars or food, although all these objects are usually lacking. These children suffer from poverty of experience. Perhaps their lives are rich with experience their teachers know nothing about. But they are growing up unequipped to …

Did You See?, Dorothy J. Mcginnis

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Gerald C. Duffy's article, "Developing the Reading Habit" which appears in The Reading Teacher for December 1967? He shows that there is considerable evidence that "Johnny can read but does not do so." He maintains that this situation may be the result of almost exclusive concern with the reading skills and a neglect of recreational reading. He believes that the reading habit does not develop naturally, that time for recreational reading must be provided in classrooms, and that real efforts must be directed toward making reading a natural and enjoyable part of children's lives. This article should be read by …

Books Are For Reading, Fannie Schmitt

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Surely there has never been another time in which it was so important for people to be able to read-and to read-as it is today. Reading is, or should be, a part of nearly every experience of children, young people, and adults. Valuable though the other media of communication are, they are necessarily inadequate for full coverage: of reporting events, of expressions of opinion, of findings of investigations, of descriptions, of recounting of experiences. Only in books are we likely to find the inclusive, extended coverage necessary for adequate analysis, interpretation, and application. Never before have we been confronted with …

Which Way Is It Pointed?, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The etymology of the word punctuation leads us back to its remote ancestor, the Latin punctus~ a "point" in the sense of the dot which we now call a "period" because it marks the end of a period. Latin did not require punctuation as our modern languages do, because the forms of words kept their construction clear independently of word-order. Even the period did not seem necessary until fairly late, since the termination of a sentence was shown by the verb which came regularly at the end.

"Remedial Reading for the Disadvantaged" in the November 1967 issue of the Journal of Reading? Nason E. Hall and Gordon P. Waldo of Ohio State University describe the setting, the students, the procedures, and the reading materials used in the Youth Development Project which is a school-based delinquency prevention program. The article also provides an evaluation of project efforts at delinquency prevention and reading improvement.

Has Anyone Seen Melvin?, Emma Jane Marek

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

"Hi! I'm Melvin. Miss Riley sent me to see you. Gosh, I was scared. I thought I was in real trouble this time. I thought she sent me because I knocked that paste jar on the floor. Boy, what a mess. Made a lot of noise, too. I don't make much noise in the room. If you keep still, the teacher forgets you're there. Jimmy says he acts up in reading class so Miss Riley will get mad at him, and then she won't make him read. I like to have my turn, but I'm not very good at it. …
