The Effect Of Variables On The Penetration Of Starch Applied At The Size Press And The Relationship Of Penetration To Strength Properties, Charles H. Durfy

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A sheet internally sized with rosin was impregnated at the size press with starch under varying conditions of temperature, moisture, and speed.

Penetration was studied with a view to final sheet properties. A sliding microtome was used to cross-section the sheets. The sections thus obtained were extracted with hot water and hydrochloric acid. A photocolormetric determination of starch was used utilizing the characteristic starch iodine reaction.

Increased temperature increased the pickup and penetration of starch. Increased moisture of the base paper initially aided pickup and penetration. High moisture tended to be retard pickup and penetration. Increasing machine speed increased pickup …

The Effect Of Drying Conditions On The Surface Properties Of A Commercial Coating, Lowell Henry Livingston

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The air temperatures and velocities were varied in the tunnel dryer of a commercial coater to determine the effects on the coated surface. Laboratory drawdowns were also made using the same coating color and basestock only dried under different conditions. The coated sheets were then tested for IGT, Dennison wax pick, K&N ink receptivity, Smoothness, Scheid and Gloss to determine any relationships between drying rate and suface properties.

The Effects Of Variables On The Penetration And Pickup Of Starch Applied At The Size Press, Leonard O. Eklund

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A literature research is presented concerning the pickup and penetration of starch at the size press. The literature research indicates there is very little quantitative results in this area. The objective of the experimental work is to determine the effect of starch temperature, sheet moisture, and machine speed on the penetration of starch into the sheet. The depth and quantity of penetration was obtained by using a spectrophotometer to determine the concentration of starch in microtomed samples.

The experimental results indicated that increased temperature of starch solutions and increased machine speeds increases penetration. Penetration also increases with increasing moisture content …

The Effect Of Infrared Drying Rates On The Optical Properties Of Starch-Clay Coatings, Ray Ludwa

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of varying rates of infrared drying on a starch-clay coated sheet, in-so-far as optical properties are concerned. Gloss may be increased by drying the coated side of the sheet, while brightness and opacity show decreases. There is an optimum rate of drying for a starch-clay coated sheet. Metal surfaces under a coated sheet being dried with infrared radiation materially effects the optical properties.

The Prediction Of Trainee Success In Manpower Development And Training Programs, Donald A. Sommerfeld

Masters Theses

Introduction

This study is a direct result of the investigator's three-year exposure to the problems of selection and placement under the Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA). From July 1962 until June 1965 the investigator was employed as a Personnel Methods Technician for the Michigan Employment Security Commission in Muskegon, Michigan. In this capacity he wrote the initial proposals for Muskegon's MDTA programs during this period. He also implemented the selection of trainees and the placement of graduates for each of twenty MDTA programs. During this time approximately seven hundred trainees were selected for these Muskegon training programs. The cost …

The Effect Of High Velocity Shear On Coating Properties, Richard Wilhelm

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The chief reason for this work was to investigate the effect of a high velocity shear imparted to a NoKarb clay by a Cowles Dissolver at 5600 rpm.

After 12-hour shearing period drawdowns were made of both the sheared and unsheared clays. Comparisons were then made with respect to brightness, opacity, gloss, Bekk Smoothness, Dennison Wax pick, and K and N Ink Holdout using a starch and a styrene butadiene adhesive.

"Intensive Phonics vs. Gradual Phonics in Beginning Reading: A Review" which appeared in the April 1965 issue of The Journal of Educational Research? This review presents 22 comparisons between intensive phonics instruction and gradual phonics instruction. It differs from standard reviews in two respects. First, it restricts itself to comparisons meeting certain rigorous statistical criteria and gives specific reasons for excluding various less rigorous studies. Second, instead of quoting the conclusions of various investigators, it tabulates their findings in terms of significant differences. The reviewers found that 19 comparisons favored intensive phonics, three favored neither method, and none favored gradual …

An Examination Of The Concepts And Critics Of The Theories Of Mass Society, Jeffrey Stephen Margolis

Masters Theses

Introduction

The quotations above are representative of the three prominent problems entertained by the theories of mass society; that is, freedom in the polity, freedom in the community, and inner directiveness, or freedom with one's own self. This series of problems involves the totality of existence.

Traditional philosophic speculation, the realm of the totality, demands an examination of man's concept of what he is, and what he is not, of what he sees, and that which he does not see. For the prescription "Know thyself" is not only a panegyric for introspective soul seeking; rather, it is an encomium on …

Virginia Evangelicals And The American Revolution: The Role Of The Baptist, Presbyterian, And Methodist Clergy, William Jennings Terman

Masters Theses

I. Religious Factors as a Cause of Revolution

Standard history books contain little or nothing of the documentary material which would relate religion to the factors contributing to the American Revolution. References to social, political, and economic causations abound, but only occasional statements concerning the influence of religion are found, and among these the role of the Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Quaker persuasions receives most attention. Yet the involvement of the evangelical churches was significant enough to merit separate, intensive studies. It is the object of this essay to investigate the involvement of the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist groups in …

A Taxonomy Of Thinking Skills For Young Readers, James A. Wright

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

There is nothing more futile than the attempt to accomplish a task when one has not yet decided what the task is. Likewise, there is nothing more difficult than a teacher's attempt to teach a set of skills when the teacher has not yet decided what the skills are. A facile reader himself, a teacher might not have analyzed the reading processes in which his mind engages. Yet he must have a clear understanding of these thinking skills if he is to instill them in his students.
