Evaluation Of Hydroxyprogesterone Acetate In The Prevention Of Canine Estrus, Kenneth B. Haas Jul 1961

Evaluation Of Hydroxyprogesterone Acetate In The Prevention Of Canine Estrus, Kenneth B. Haas

Masters Theses

Foreword

Thirty years ago, endocrinology was a laboratory curiosity appreciated by few veterinarians. In those rare instances when the new science escaped from the laboratory and reached the clinic, the endocrine preparations used were extremely crude and often ineffective. In the growth of endocrinology as a science, availability of pure crystalline hormones has played an essential role, and to chemical synthesis must be credited the preparations which make specific endocrine therapy possible today.

In the last two decades endocrinology has come into its own in veterinary medicine, especially in regard to sex endocrinology. But only in the last ten years …

A Survey Of Current Techniques For Selecting First-Line Supervisors In Industry, Linford A. Sutherland Jul 1961

A Survey Of Current Techniques For Selecting First-Line Supervisors In Industry, Linford A. Sutherland

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this investigation is to show to what extent the selection of supervisors is still based on subjective opinion, and to what extent objective devices have been developed and have gained acceptance.

The collection of relevant data for this survey involves a search of the published literature in the field. In this work the terms first-line supervisor, foreman, and supervisor will be used interchangeably.

The writer's interest in the area of supervisory selection was aroused after reading several articles on the problem of selecting factory supervisors of the highest caliber as industry now realizes that the supervisory …


An Investigation Of Dramatic Arts Programs And Attitudes In Sixteen Counties Of Southwestern Michigan, Philip F. Faustman Jul 1961

An Investigation Of Dramatic Arts Programs And Attitudes In Sixteen Counties Of Southwestern Michigan, Philip F. Faustman

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Definition of the Problem

Problem:

For many years there has been need for a better understanding of the dramatic arts activity in our Michigan schools. Teachers are selected, and sometimes paid, to direct school plays. In a few instances, particularly in the larger schools, these teachers attempt to develop a well-rounded dramatics program.

But what, of a concrete nature, is known about dramatic arts activity in our schools? What is being done? Where does a teacher assigned to direct a school play, or to develop a dramatics program within a single school system, stand in relation to teachers …


The First British Labor Government 1924, Donald Black Jul 1961

The First British Labor Government 1924, Donald Black

Masters Theses

Introduction

In 1924, the Labor Part, assumed control or Britain's political destinies for the first time. Although its tenure or office was brief, from February through October of that year, it marked an important milestone in the slow, unrelenting progress of democratic socialism in the British political spectrum after the conclusion of World War I. Not only did it reveal that Labor could assume its role as an effective opposition Party, but also that Labor had the capacity to govern in a difficult and perplexing era.


Constant X Of The Alcoholic Personality: A Research Study On The Personality Factor In Alcoholism, Jean Carpenter Jul 1961

Constant X Of The Alcoholic Personality: A Research Study On The Personality Factor In Alcoholism, Jean Carpenter

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

The problem of alcoholism is one of the oldest problems in the history of mankind. Today it ranks world-wide as a major public health problem. Yet, constructive study and research on the subject did not gain much momentum until about 1935.

With the organization of Alcoholism Anonymous in 1935, the awareness of the problem spread, fanwise, throughout the fields of religion, medicine, and psychiatry. Alcohol had once presented a baffling and seemingly unanswerable enigma. But now there was a glimmering of hope in each of these separate fields that the answers might lie within its own particular …

Pigment Coating Of Paper In The Laboratory A Comparison Of Several Methods, Clare L. Longton Jun 1961

Pigment Coating Of Paper In The Laboratory A Comparison Of Several Methods, Clare L. Longton

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Four Bench-type laboratory coaters were compared as to their pattern formation which influences the printability of the coated sheet.

The four Bench-type laboratory coaters used were Wire Wound Doctor Rods, Bird Film Applicators, Bench Trailing Blade Coater and the Martinson Coater.

A constant solids content coating color was used which consisted of 100 parts coating clay and 18 parts casein. A record of the viscosity of the coating slip was kept.

The coated sheets were evaluated by visual inspection, and photomicrographs were taken of the most characteristic patterns. Coat weight, reproducibility and smoothness values were also determined.

It was found …


The Effect Of Chlorine, Hypochlorite, And Chlorine Dioxide Bleaching On The Hemicellulose Content Of Pulp, C. Wesley Smith Jun 1961

The Effect Of Chlorine, Hypochlorite, And Chlorine Dioxide Bleaching On The Hemicellulose Content Of Pulp, C. Wesley Smith

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Until the recent time hemicelluloses were regarded as an undesirable part of the cellulose fiber; the most desirable fiber for paper-making purposes was believed to be one containing 100% pure cellulose. This theory is fallacious, since it is now known that hemicellulose plays a major role in paper-making and in fact, a satisfactory paper cannot be formed from wood pulp without some hemicellulosic material being present. The best pulp is one which has been cooked to remove most of the lignin, but not so drastically cooked as to degrade the cellulose or remove too much of the hemicellulose fraction. Such …


Deinking Of Coated Magazine Papers: Experiments With Some Enzymes, Edgar E. Moore Jr. Jun 1961

Deinking Of Coated Magazine Papers: Experiments With Some Enzymes, Edgar E. Moore Jr.

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

At the present time fairly harsh procedures are used to deink magazine waste paper. The paper must be cooked in the presence of strong chemicals such as sodium hydroxide at elevated temperature and in some cases this is even carried out under pressure. This results in the removal of ink but the fibers are considerably darkened due to this procedure (1,2). It was the object of this survey to explore the literature to see if there is any information on a relatively mild method involving enzymes, which due to the absence of harsh chemicals and high temperatures would possibly …
