The Biodegradability Of Detergents And The Effects Of Biodegradable Detergents Upon Root Elongation Of Certain Plants, Nancy Lou Bishop

Masters Theses

The effects of three biodegradable detergents upon root elongation of Cucumis sativus and Avena sativa was determined. All three detergents inhibit root elongation; the degree of inhibition depends on the brand of detergent and the species tested. Contact of the detergents with a sandy-loam results in reversal of inhibition of root elongation; the degree of reversal varies with detergent and species. However, reversal after 48 hours contact with soil does not appear to be due to degradation by microorganisms. Effects of aeration and of pH on test solutions are discussed.

The Development Of A New Organizational Pattern For An Elementary School In The Fruitport School District, John W. Carlson

Masters Theses

The development of an educational program that will meet the needs of all pupils is a goal that is sought by all educators. The needs of individual pupils will be met if such a goal is ever realized. Such a program, by appreciating the fact that each individual has a different rate and aptitude for learning, should help children of all ages and abilities achieve their full potential.

This case study follows the establishment of a nongraded flexibly scheduled, team taught elementary school from inception of the initial concept through the first year of operation. While it was impossible to …

An Analysis Of Climatic Influences On Aggression, Alan M. Gonick

Masters Theses

The effects of exposure to various climatic conditions were analyzed to determine whether these conditions could produce aggression or facilitate shock-elicited aggression. Paired rats and single monkeys were used as subjects. The effects of independent and simultaneous changes in temperature and relative humidity were investigated in an attempt to produce aggression. Temperature, relative humidity, and length of exposure to climatic conditions were varied to determine if these conditions would facilitate shock-elicited aggression. The climatic conditions investigated were ineffective in reliably producing aggression between rats and also in facilitating shock-elicited aggression with rats and monkey subjects. Exposure to temperatures above 24.4°C …

Reading And Upward Bound-Another Look, Bruce A. Lloyd, Diane Griewank, Henri Carter

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The major purpose of summer Upward Bound instructional programs is to assist those high school students who have the potential for succeeding in a college or university, but who otherwise would probably not be given the opportunity to enter an institution of higher learning. The generally low academic achievement of many of these students is often due to a variety of factors including poor and ineffective teaching (1), lack of motivation (8), and an environment which is far from conducive to scholarly or academic pursuits. In sum, typical school activities tend to be less than relevant for many of these …

A Study Of The Feasibility Of Using A Pulping Aid With Polysulfide Kraft Cooks, Terrence R. Mccarty

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this paper was to determine the feasibility of using a pulping aid with a polysulfide kraft cook. Since any change in an operation such as pulping must yield a product such that the quality is better or not appreciably reduced and at the same time must be economically acceptible, the feasibility was based on these factors. Tests were made on a standard kraft cook, a polysulfide cook, a cook using the pulping aid alone and a cook using the pulping aid with the polysulfides. From the work conducted, there were no significant changes in the physical and …

Use Of The Vandercook Proof Press To Predict Rotogravure Print Quality, Patrick Phee

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The object of this thesis is to investigate a new idea in predicting printability for rotogravure printing. Present proof presses in the gravure industry are clumsy, expensive, and in most cases, impractical for regular use.

In order to understand the relationship between ink, paper, and plate, it is necessary to consider many variables such as smoothness, ink receptivity, porosity, moisture content, formation, surface strength, and opacity.

The laboratory work performed and presented in this paper shows that a Vandercook proof press may be used to predict printability in the gravure process.

Training Developmental Reading Teachers-A Proposal, David J. Yarington

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Many "how to study" courses, courses for training developmental reading teachers and books on the subject are merely inspirational and moralistic when they should be more realistic or relevant (a word that is becoming an irrelevant word) to the real world of school. Study habits and skills teach students to jump through hoops, most of which should not be there at all. Or, in other words, hoops which tend to stifle attitudes and negate their original purposes, i.e., standardized tests. One encounters the frustrations of either trying to change the entire system or teaching students how to beat the system. …

A Look At Linguistic Readers, Nicholas P. Criscuolo
