Scheduling And Position Control Of Hospital Personnel, Larry Eugene Schmidt
Scheduling And Position Control Of Hospital Personnel, Larry Eugene Schmidt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A review of the literature indicates that previous studies have not provided an effective scheduling technique which will comply both with the restrictions of a set weekend-off sequence and of modern employment laws. Most hospitals are required to comply with the wage and hour laws of their state and, therefore, must schedule within this restriction. In a large number of cases, the hospital and the staff members have agreed upon some set weekend off sequence, thus placing an additional restriction on the scheduling procedure. The concept of position control is not mentioned in the literature. Preliminary investigation by this author …
Cell-Wall Analyses Of Diphtheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Everett E. Scheetz
Cell-Wall Analyses Of Diphtheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Everett E. Scheetz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Biever, working in this laboratory, isolated numerous diphtheroidal organisms from cattle and swine sources. These anaerobic diptheroids were morphologically similar to organisms in the genera Corynebacterium and Actinomyces. King and Meyer found that isolates of anaerobic diptheroids from human sources were more closely related to the Corynebacterium based upon metabolic and serologic differentiation. Their work consisted of separating A. bovis from several isolates of anaerobic diptheroids on the basis of the catalase test, litmus milk reactions, and the fermentation of xylose, salicin, and raffinose. However, Grasser reported that the fermentation reactions are variable and cannot be used as definite criteria …
The Changing Nature Of Family Values In Pearl Buck's House Of Earth, Sue Min Huang
The Changing Nature Of Family Values In Pearl Buck's House Of Earth, Sue Min Huang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Pearl Buck stayed in China from 1892 until 1931. During these years she experienced living with all classes of Chinese people, from the very poor peasantry to intellectual college students and learned professors in Nanking. During this time, the Chinese farming folk which consisted of four-fifths of the total Chinese population, also went through tremendous cultural and generational changes when industrialization and western ideas-were gradually introduced to the agricultural kingdom. The purpose of this thesis is to examine and evaluate Pearl Buck's demonstration of changing family values as manifested in Chinese farming folk in the early twentieth century to determine …
Some Field And Laboratory Observations On Morchella, Reed Sanderson
Some Field And Laboratory Observations On Morchella, Reed Sanderson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The morel, Morchella, of which there are several species, abounds throughout the United States. Several common names have been applied to this organism depending upon the area. Names include sponge, sponge on a stalk, honeycomb (because of its appearance), common more, delicious morel, hickory chicken (it is found among hickory leaves), and mushroom (the most common name in South Dakota). Although this organism ranks near the top of any fungus collector's list as a food, little is actually known or at least recorded of the environment associated with its appearance. The purpose of this study was to gather as much …
Computer Evaluation Of Error-Correcting Codes For Pcm Telemetry, William W. Goddard
Computer Evaluation Of Error-Correcting Codes For Pcm Telemetry, William W. Goddard
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Communication in a broad sense is simply transferring information of some sort from one point to another, usually by means of electrical signals. The sender and the receiver of the information may be either man or machine. If the information to be transferred is in a numerical form, the system is called a Digital Data Communication System. This type of system is usually employed in machine-to-machine communication, but may be applied to transferring other types of information by first converting that information into a numerical (digital) form. In today's typical Digital Data Communications, the numerical data is converted to binary …

Results of the survey showed that 84.86 percent of the students returning questionnaires felt that there are subject areas where there should be basic course requirements for …
Dna Base Composition Of Actinomyces And Related Anaerobic Diphtheroids, Patricia A. Campbell
Dna Base Composition Of Actinomyces And Related Anaerobic Diphtheroids, Patricia A. Campbell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The taxonomy of the anaerobic bacteria known as diphtheroids is a subject of study by the Subgroup on Taxonomy of Microaerophilic Actinomycetes, an authorized Subgroup of the Subcommittee on Taxonomy of the Actinomycetales of the International Committee on Nomenclature of Bacteria, International Association of Microbiological Societies. Dr. Gordon Robertstad, a member of this committee, has stimulated a series of studies on these organisms. At present, the species differentiation coupled with genus differentiation among anaerobic diphtheroids is in a state of flux. Tests which were previously thought to be indisputable are now not entirely reliable. Fermentation reactions, catalase tests, serology, and …
Polynomial Approximation Of A Magnetization Curve, Viswanath Narayan
Polynomial Approximation Of A Magnetization Curve, Viswanath Narayan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Developments in the production, distribution and control of electrical energy depend very largely on the correct knowledge and understanding of the laws representing the relation of electric current to magnetism. Modern developments in electrical engineering, particularly in the areas of electronic systems, communication equipment like telephones, electrical machinery, and magnetic amplifiers, make it imperative that the study of the behavior of materials under varying magnetic induction be accomplished thoroughly. A detailed study enables one to predict the performance of circuits under extreme test conditions. Although some recently discovered alloys have permeabilities greater than iron, their uses in magnetic circuits are …
Computer Simulation Of A New Redundancy Reduction Technique, Uldis Birznieks
Computer Simulation Of A New Redundancy Reduction Technique, Uldis Birznieks
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The compression of information into smaller and smaller bandwidths has been a constant struggle against an expanding demand. Since the modulation of a carrier necessarily produces sidebands, signals cannot be sent in zero bandwidth. For some time, attempts were made to beat nature, until the natural limits of noise and bandwidth were established. Men like Hartley, Nyquist, and Shannon set a sound scientific base and as a result, rules and limits have been Developed. But this struggle continues with ever more sophisticated demands. As requirements for larger amounts of scientific data arise, methods for utilizing the available means of data …

A Study Of The Origins And Development Of Kelo-Land Television, William Craig Mcnamara
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In recent years television has become a topic for intensive study at American universities. This is shown by the multiplicity of studies reported in the annual research lists in Speech Monographs. Consistent with this research emphasis in television, several reasons influenced the undertaking of this current study. One reason was a personal interest in the field of television. The writer has been involved in broadcasting since he was in high school, and plans to make his career in television. Another reason for the selection of this topic was that this type of study had never been attempted in South Dakota. …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to provide a Future Homemakers of America (hereafter referred to as FHA) handbook for South Dakota which would assist officers, and advisers in carrying out chapter, state, and national association responsibilities. The South Dakota Association of FHA is an organization affiliated with the national association. All information from the national office is channeled to the state FHA adviser, who in turn uses the material as a method of communication with the region and local chapters. Before this study, all communiques sent by the state FHA adviser were in the form of loose sheets. Upon …
An Inquiry Into School-To-Home Communications Among Selected South Dakota Communities, Larry K. Tennyson
An Inquiry Into School-To-Home Communications Among Selected South Dakota Communities, Larry K. Tennyson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The demand for information about schools is increasing dramatically. War and cancer are the only subjects that claim greater public interest today," according to Leslie J. Stiles, professor of inter-disciplinary studies at Northwestern University. This opinion is shared by others in the field of educational public information, some of whom question the topical-coverage allocation and the display given to educational news by the press and by school officials The contrast between what parents want to know about schools and what is disseminated to them about schools has been described by researchers for nearly forty years. Yet, Stiles says, little progress …

A Study Of Land-Grant University Alumni Magazines And Of Reader Responses To The Montana Collegian Of Montana State University, Jeffrey B. Nelson
A Study Of Land-Grant University Alumni Magazines And Of Reader Responses To The Montana Collegian Of Montana State University, Jeffrey B. Nelson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was confined to the current state of affairs in alumni publishing at Land-Grant universities, for several reasons. Perhaps the main one is that the author is an alumni editor at one of these universities (Montana State University) and is also an alumnus of another one (South Dakota State University). Brought in from the newspaper field in the summer of 1967 as the Montana Collegian's first "professional" editor, the author had a broad mandate from the president of the institution, from the alumni director and the public relations director. Change the magazine, broaden its coverage and content and improve …

George W. Hopp : Brookings County Press, Kenneth E. Schaack
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The first and primary objective of this study is to uncover and compile information about Hopp and the County Press. The second and secondary objective of the study is to point out characteristics of the county press and Hopp which seem to be typical of other early Dakota papers and editors. No attempt is made to reach any general conclusions which would be applicable to all papers in all parts of the United States. What was the Brookings area like before 1890? What did Hopp and the Press do for Brookings area development? What type of man was George W. …
The Status Of Journalism In North Dakota High Schools, Neil Rae Mcfadgen
The Status Of Journalism In North Dakota High Schools, Neil Rae Mcfadgen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
With the mass media exerting a tremendous influence on our day-to- day living, scholastic journalism with its emphasis on mass communication becomes a vital part of any high school curriculum. Career literature written about opportunities in journalism strives to motivate the high school student to consider professional journalism as his life' s work. Even though the percentage of high school students who have been active in journalism functions and then elect professional journalism as a career has been small in the past, there has been a decided increase in the college journalism enrollments since the year 1951. According to the …

Protestant Church Members' Attitudes Toward Community In Seven South Dakota Counties, Don Martin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was developed as a result of an effort by the Aberdeen Area Ministry to assess the attitudes of members of its congregations toward their churches and their communities. It was felt the ministry could better serve if any disparity between their role and the perception of this role by parishioners was alleviated. As a result of striving to find means to improve services it was decided that a survey would be conducted. The result would be the determination of church members attitudes toward their churches and their communities. From this emanate two studies, one of which deals extensively …
