The Concept Of Character Development In The Writings Of Ellen G. White, John M. Fowler Jan 1977

The Concept Of Character Development In The Writings Of Ellen G. White, John M. Fowler

Dissertations

Problem. Character development is a fundamental objective of the Seventh-day Adventist educational system. The purpose of this study was to define the concept of character development in the writings of Ellen G. White whose thought is foundational to the philosophy of the worldwide system of Seventh-day Adventist schools. The investigation focused on four subproblems: (1) the meaning and significance of character; (2) the nature of character development; (3) factors affecting character development; and (4) responsibility for character development.

Method. The problem was approached by (1) carefully perusing White's published writings and noting every statement related to the study; (2) inductively …

Application Of Multilevel Control Techniques To Classes Of Distributed Parameter Plants, Frederick Donald Chichester Sep 1976

Application Of Multilevel Control Techniques To Classes Of Distributed Parameter Plants, Frederick Donald Chichester

Dissertations

This study concerns the application of a combination of multilevel hierarchical systems analysis techniques and Pontryagin's minimum principle (multilevel control) to the problem of controlling optimally two classes of dynamic distributed parameter plants representing concentrations balances in streams, rivers and estuaries. The concentrations treated in this study are those deemed the most effective indicators of water quality, dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

One class of plants treated in this study consists of linear continuous distributed parameter plants represented mathematically by sets of simultaneous partial differential equations. Optimal control of a plant of this class is initiated by …

Separations Of Multicomponent Mixtures Via Thermal Parametric Pumping, John Daniel Stokes May 1976

Separations Of Multicomponent Mixtures Via Thermal Parametric Pumping, John Daniel Stokes

Dissertations

This dissertation covers the separation of solutes from multicomponent solutions via direct mode thermal parametric pumping.

Dilute solution separations were predicted from existing binary equations by assuming the existence of pseudo binary systems, each system consisting of one solute and the common solvent. Two systems, toluene-aniline-n-heptane and toluene-acetophenone-n-heptane with a silica gel adsorbent were used to experimentally demonstrate the separation. Experimental results were in good agreement with the mathematical predictions.

For concentrated multicomponent solutions, the separation was demonstrated by the system, toluene-acetophenone-n-heptane on silica gel. The effects of mass transfer and nonlinear adsorption isotherms became significant and a numerical solution …

Dimensions Of The Ideal Family As Perceived By Adolescents, Lily Hok-Neo Wong Jan 1976

Dimensions Of The Ideal Family As Perceived By Adolescents, Lily Hok-Neo Wong

Dissertations

Problem

The purpose of this study was to Identify the types of family concept held by different groups of adolescents in thirteen selected high schools in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Could the adoles­cents' concepts of the ideal family be described in terms of a number of factors? If there were basic factors, how would they compare with those previously identified by van der Veen in his study of disturbed adolescents? Were there differences in the ideal family concept when the adolescents were compared according to grade in school, church mem­bership, sex, race, residential location, and number of parents? With the …

A Comparison Of Values Of Board Chairmen And Educational Administrators In Seventh-Day Adventist Residential Academies, Colleges, And Universities In The United States Of America And Canada, David Birkenstock Jan 1976

A Comparison Of Values Of Board Chairmen And Educational Administrators In Seventh-Day Adventist Residential Academies, Colleges, And Universities In The United States Of America And Canada, David Birkenstock

Dissertations

Problem. An important concern of administrators is assessing the role of values in education. A high degree of values congruency between board chairmen and educational administrators seems essential for educational institutions to function effectively. The purpose of the study was to assess the degree of values congruency between Seventh- day Adventist board chairmen and educational administrators.

Method. The Allport, Vernon, and Lindzey Study of Values scale, which furnished relative scores for six value classifications— aesthetic, economic, political, religious, social, and theoretical— was selected for the study. A personal data sheet was developed for the subjects of the study.

Ten hypotheses …
