Uniting Efforts In Effective Reading Remediation, Betty L. Hagberg

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Nearly every classroom contains some children who have not responded well to a developmental reading program and need remedial help from the reading specialist. These students have not achieved up to their full potential for a variety of reasons, and unless they receive remedial instruction the gap between achievement and potential will grow wider. The reading therapist is faced with the primary responsibility of providing the student's remedial work. However, it is not his task alone as the classroom teacher shares in this obligation. The child spends most of his time in the regular classroom and only a few short …

Reading Maketh A Full Man, Abraham Blinderman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

My freshman class rejoices. It is our first meeting and I do not ask the apprehensive matriculants to write the traditional autobiographical essay to probe their linguistic and literary aptitudes. Before dismissing the class, I assign a reading-"My Wood" by E. M. Forster-for the next meeting.

"An Ounce Of Prevention…", Jane Iannelli

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

It has been said that non-readers are the greatest problem in American education. It is also true that these same non-readers continue to be problems as they take their place in the mainstream of American life. The schools are doing much to remedy these problems, but the home must also cooperate in this project. With the cooperation of home and school these problems can, in a large measure, be prevented. This author proposes to set down some guidelines for parents who are interested in starting their child on the road to successful reading experiences.

The Effectiveness Of Some Enzyme-Containing Detergents Of The Deinking Of Newsprint, Peter T. Aylward

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

With an ever increasing use of wood by the paper industry and pollution of our waterways, it is only natural that we turn to recycling of our products.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the possible use of enzymes detergents as a means of deinking newsprint. It was decided to deink several issues of newspaper by varying the concentration of enzyme detergent over a wide interval of temperature. The pH of the systems was monitored so as not to denature the enzyme. This method yielded pulp with a brightness three or four points over that of the untreated …

Performance Evaluation Of The Moistron And Inframike Moisture Gauges On The Pilot Paper Machine, David L. Forsman

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The following work pertains to the correlation of the Industrial Nucleonics Moistron moisture meter and the General Electric Inframike. The readings from these two devices were compared to each other and to moisture on an oven dry basis. The moisture readings were taken on a furnish of a 50-50 hardwood, softwood mixture which had various additives added by means of metering pumps. The basis weights of the furnishes were varied for each of the additives.

The readings on the Moistron were not taken from the machine chart but rather from a calibration tape placed below said chart. The General Electric …

High Temperature, High Pressure Oxidation Of Primary Sludges, Dale R. St. Peter

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The problem of disposal of high ash papermill sludges has yet to be resolved. High temperature, high pressure wet air oxidation may have the potential to fill this gap in our technology.

A sample of high ash primary sludge was obtained, thickened, wet air oxidized, purified, and evaluated for brightness and abrasiveness. The product was grossly discolored with iron oxide. However, removal of the oxide yielded a high brightness product with low abrasiveness. This product appeared to be well suited for use as a filler material.

In order for this process to be acceptable as a method for obtaining a …

The Effect Of Sample Length, Fiber Length And Rate Of Loading On Tensile And T.E.A., Rajendra Patel

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of fiber length, sample length and rate of loading on tensile and TEA. The most important aspect of this study was the elimination or controlling of variables which appeared in all related studies to date. With this in mind, an experimental procedure was drawn up which would eliminate or control these variables. The original pulp was taken without any cutting, formed into handsheets, and pressed. The handsheets were then cut in order to reduce the fiber length while the handsheets were wet. Cutting the fibers was done with a paper …

An Investigation Of The Relative Water Holding Capabilities Of Various Synthetic Adhesives, Kenneth J. Long

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

During the investigation of the water holding capacity of various latexes, the Hercules Size Tester, appeared to be the most consistent and convenient instrument for determining this characteristic. The latexes used in this investigation were those recommended by suppliers as excelling in this capacity.

It was hoped that a correlation could be found between water retention time and ease of obtaining gloss through supercalendering. However, no such correlation was found. In a routine control situation, through backlogging of data on a unchanging coating system, a correlation would be more likely to appear.

The Effects Of Selected Pilot Paper Machine Variables On Web Shrinkage, John Hughes

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of certain machine variables on shrinkage and also to determine a shrinkage and strength profile across the width of the sheet. Machine conditions varied were the draws and the amount of pressure on the presses. Cross direction shrinkage was measured by using felt marking pens to mark three sections across the web. Machine direction shrinkage was determined by using a cogged wheel to punch a series of small holes into the sheet which could then be measured at the reel. Press loading was shown to have no effect on cross …

The Effect Of Clay Particle Size On The Optical Properties Of Filled Handsheets, Arkesh Pandit

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

In this experiment two coating clays and two filler clays were used as fillers to find the effect of particle size on optical properties on filled handsheets.

Klondyke and Nokarb were used as a filler clays to improve the optical properties. Coating clays, H. T. predispersed and Ultra-white-90 were less effective than filler clays. Scattering co-efficient can be improved with coating clays. The reason may be the smaller the particle size better scattering co-efficient. This experiment suggests alum is not necessary in order to improve the opacity and brightness of filler clays. Retention of Klyondyke and Nokarb increased without alum, …

"The Effects Of Steam Stripping Contaminated Kraft Condensates", Joseph A. Buckholz

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The effects of steam stripping contaminated Kraft condensates were evaluated in relation to the removal of odorous sulfur-containing compounds. The investigation was carried out in a packed distillation column. The mill streams investigated were multiple effect evaporator condensates, waste heat evaporator condensates, and concentrator condensates.

Measured volumes of distillate were removed and analyzed for chemical oxygen demand by oxidation, and for component make-up by gas chromatography.

This study indicates that the use of steam stripping not only reduces the amount of sulfur-containing compounds, but reduces mill water requirements and the BOD load placed on effluent treatment facilities.

Exploratory Reading In The Secondary School, Fehl Shirley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

If the gap between technological enterprise and the development of humane individuals is to be overcome, then programs adjusted to the unique characteristics of individual readers need to be promoted. As Earl Kelley has averred, the primary goal of education must be the production of increasing uniqueness. Idiosyncratic learning patterns are revealed through diagnostic teaching and the self-analysis on the part of the student. Correlative adjustment of instruction according to student needs may ensue as a cooperative enterprise of student and teacher. Both parties to this contractual process are learning about themselves and about techniques that succeed or fail.
