Thixotropic Properties Of Whole Human Blood, Jen An Su May 1980

Thixotropic Properties Of Whole Human Blood, Jen An Su

Dissertations

The rheological property of whole blood from various human subjects was studied with a Weissenberg Rheogonio-meter, modified with a continuously variable speed drive. Experimental data showed a hysteresis loop in the shear stress versus the shear rate plot and a torque-decay in the shear stress versus the shearing time plot which is under a constant shear rate. The rheological equation previously developed by Huang was employed to define the thixotropic parameters of each whole blood sample based upon the recorded rheograms.

The altered thixotropic parameters for the blood from patients with open heart surgery at different clinical stages were quantitatively …


The Minimum Maximal-Cube Covering Approach To Switching Theory, Yu-Tsang Gene Hwang May 1980

The Minimum Maximal-Cube Covering Approach To Switching Theory, Yu-Tsang Gene Hwang

Dissertations

This dissertation is devoted to the construction of a new algebraic structure for the K-map so that algorithms and theorems can be derived for the minimization of Boolean functions and at the same time provide for the manipulation of Boolean functions as freely as one could on the K-map.

Computer programs have been included to demonstrate the theory and numerous examples of various complexity have been worked out in the appendices.


A Discrete-Trial Choice Procedure And The Psychophysics Of Amount Of Reinforcement: A Preliminary Analysis, Frans Van Haaren Apr 1980

A Discrete-Trial Choice Procedure And The Psychophysics Of Amount Of Reinforcement: A Preliminary Analysis, Frans Van Haaren

Dissertations

A discrete-trial choice procedure, in which pigeons were exposed to one constant and one variable duration of reinforcement, was used to assess the effects of session-by-session manipulations in the variable reinforcement duration on the choice behavior of the subjects. Two groups of pigeons were used. Each subject in the first group was exposed to the same constant reinforcement duration (1.5, 3.0 or 6.0 sec), but different fixed-ratio trial completion requirements (5, 15 and 45). The subjects in the second group were exposed to all three different constant reinforcement durations while the trial completion requirement was kept constant with a variable-interval …


The Validation Of A Programmed Text: Behavioral Counseling For Alcohol-Related Problems, Suzanne Carol Leiphart Apr 1980

The Validation Of A Programmed Text: Behavioral Counseling For Alcohol-Related Problems, Suzanne Carol Leiphart

Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to validate a programmed text which was designed and written by the experimenter. Subjects in Group A, in Phase 1 of the experiment, were seven male and five female volunteers either working or enrolled as students in human service fields. Subjects in Group B, in Phase 2, were six females and four male graduate students enrolled in the Specialty Program in Alcohol and Drug Abuse treatment seminar at Western Michigan University. Group A completed the programmed text exercises in Behavioral Counseling for Alcohol-Related Problems, designed and written by the experimenter. The programmed text was …
