Reproductive Performance Of Anestrous Crossbred Ewes Subjected To Artificial Photoperiod Or Melatonin, Kelly Ann Weiskircher
Reproductive Performance Of Anestrous Crossbred Ewes Subjected To Artificial Photoperiod Or Melatonin, Kelly Ann Weiskircher
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Sheep are seasonal breeders exhibiting estrus in the fall with the decreasing daylength. This characteristic limits the reproductive performance of the ewe. With the decreasing daylength, melatonin is produced by the pineal gland. This hormone is thought to trigger the onset of estral activity. The study herein attempted to alter this seasonal fertility pattern by subjecting ewes to artificial photoperiod and through the oral administration of melatonin and a melatonin ear implant. The lambs in this experiment were born during late fall which is more favorable than the normal lambing season for the survival rate and growth performance of the …
The Meaning Of Zenocrate In Tamburlaine, Parts I And Ii, Yoon-Hee Park
The Meaning Of Zenocrate In Tamburlaine, Parts I And Ii, Yoon-Hee Park
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine the Great, Parts I and II are built around a single towering superman, Tamburlaine, just as three of his other plays are built around strong protagonists: Barabas, Guise, and Faustus. Most critics have acknowledged that the protagonist, Tamburlaine, is "the only unifying factor," or "the be-all and end-all of the action. "From the beginning to the end, both plays unfold while centering exclusively on the protagonist, and the protagonist powerfully dominates both plays. The other characters of the play are often referred to merely as Tamburlaine's “puppets" and serve as his foils. Furthermore, the subsidiary figures, whether …

The Effects Of Administrative Uses Of Computer Assisted Telecommunications On School Attendance, Carroll M. Helm
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of the study is to determine if students who were called with a computer assisted dialing device would have a better attendance record than students who were not called. One hundred and fifty students from three East Tennessee schools were chosen at the beginning of the 1986-1987 school year to serve as the control group. At the end of the 1986-1987 school year another 150 students were selected from the same three schools who had been called with the computer dialing device. Students were compared based on their attendance record for the entire eight month period. Using the …
An Automated Diagnostic Test And Tutorial Package For Basic Skills Of Mathematics In Post Secondary Vocational Education Of Kentucky: Construction And Validation, Odell D. Wilson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research study was to determine characteristics of entering vocational students in Kentucky Area/State vocational schools and to develop a computerized diagnostic instrument and tutorial package for assisting students in the mastery of necessary basic skills in mathematics.

The study was conducted during the 1986-87 school year in Virginia. A questionnaire, developed by the researcher, was field tested through a six-week pilot study with 100 instructional supervisors in Virginia. Upon validation of the instrument, it was mailed to a randomly selected sample of 363 instructional supervisors in Virginia. A total of 220 respondents (60.6%) returned the questionnaire. Significant differences were found in perceived allocation of …

The problem of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between situational leadership effectiveness of administrators in hospitals and principals in high schools in a selected geographical area. The data-gathering instruments were the Leader Effectiveness & Adaptability Description (LEAD-Self) and a one-page demographic sheet. The LEAD-Self provides a measurement of situational leadership style and leadership effectiveness based upon responses to 12 administrative decisions. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data gathered, with the Eta and Pearson's product-moment being the correlation studies used. Six research questions were explored, dealing with the relationship between the effectiveness score and the …
Production And Environmental Simulations For Livestock Housing, Mark Allen Diesch
Production And Environmental Simulations For Livestock Housing, Mark Allen Diesch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An animal's environment is affected by all surrounding conditions. The thermal environment; the effects of air temperature, moisture, and velocity balanced with animal heat and moisture production, is part of the total environment. It is one of the most important influences of an animal's surroundings since 25 to 40 percent of an animal's gross feed energy is converted to heat and moisture loss to the environment. Poor livestock thermal environments occur because of poor livestock structures. A structure with the correct thermal environment will provide conditions such that the homeothermic animal will be in a zone of thermal comfort. If …
The Effect Of Photoperiod And Melatonin On Reproductive Performance Of Anestrous Ewes, Anthony Martin Wolf
The Effect Of Photoperiod And Melatonin On Reproductive Performance Of Anestrous Ewes, Anthony Martin Wolf
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Seasonal fertility has been known to exist in the sheep industry for hundreds of years. The inability to control this seasonality has restricted year-round lamb production. Only recently has man attempted to alter this unfertile period of the year, through the use of different stimuli. The ewe produces the hormone "melatonin" in response to a dark photoperiod. In the fall, when the daily dark phase increases, one sees an increase in duration of the ewe's serum melatonin level. It is this increased melatonin during the fall that has been hypothesized to signal the onset of estrus in the ewe. Artificial …

Thomas Mann's Joseph Tetralogy : Echoes Across The Coulisses, Molly Miron
Thomas Mann's Joseph Tetralogy : Echoes Across The Coulisses, Molly Miron
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In his Prelude to Volume of Joseph and His Brothers, Thomas Mann speculated about the nature of time. In several senses for Mann the time factor itself became a character and a motivating force in the novel, absorbing the author and the reader as well as the actual protagonists. In this introductory essay before he began the chronicle of the family of Jacob, Mann considered the illusory characteristics of variable time as opposed to what the reader perceives as time's reality, measurable in units of centuries, generations, and seasons. Mann set at odds the reader's mundane acceptance of time's regular …
A Comparative Study Of Traditional Nursing Schedules Vs. Extended Nursing Schedules On Patient Satisfaction, Cheryl J. Erler
A Comparative Study Of Traditional Nursing Schedules Vs. Extended Nursing Schedules On Patient Satisfaction, Cheryl J. Erler
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study compared patient satisfaction with nursing care given by nurses working traditional eight-hour shifts versus the satisfaction of patients being cared for by nurses working twelve-hour shifts.
The conceptual framework was derived from Systems Theory incorporating the interrelated subsystems within the organization that contribute to patient satisfaction as identified by Johnson, Kast, and Rosenzweig (1973).
The Patient Satisfaction Instrument designed by Risser(1975) and adapted by Hinshaw and Atwood (1979) for in-patient use was utilized for data collection. One medical-surgical unit in a Veterans Administration Hospital constituted the experimental group where patients were surveyed before and after the staffing change. …
