Theories Of Image-Making In Hogarth, Reynolds And Blake, Anne C. Johnson Jan 1982

Theories Of Image-Making In Hogarth, Reynolds And Blake, Anne C. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This is a study of artistic imagination--literally, the process of image-making--the act of translating sensory information into visible symbols. Specifically, it is a study of three eighteenth century artists' detailed theories of imagination, and a comparison of the visual effects described by these theories. William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and William Blake ar~ three roughly contemporary artists who each describe a means of approaching nature, recording sensory facts and translating them into the images of art. I intend to pose three related questions to these artists and to seek answers in their respective treatises on aesthetic composition. Two of these …

In communications with Joseph M. Homan, manager of Chemical Technology and G.K.

The company had not previously marketed such a product and had little information available to them for this type of system. The product was to be marketed to areas of low N-S soil in this region of the …

Sterling Women From Sterling Township : Women's Writing As Literature And History, Janet Hovey Johnson Jan 1981

Sterling Women From Sterling Township : Women's Writing As Literature And History, Janet Hovey Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One might ask herself what Emily Toth's discussion of regionalism versus universality has to do with the women writers of Sterling Township in Brookings County, South Dakota. After all, Emily Toth is discussing women who primarily write fiction--sometimes good fiction--meant for publication. The women of Sterling Township wrote, for lack of a better word, essays, and few ever dreamed of publication. Yet there is a connection. Just as the women that Emily Toth discusses are not considered universal writers, so have the women of townships across America been discounted as the subjects of serious studies. These women belong to a …


The Impact Of Project Adventure On The Self Concept Of Adolescents, Sandra I. Jerstad Jan 1981

The Impact Of Project Adventure On The Self Concept Of Adolescents, Sandra I. Jerstad

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

High-risk adventure courses are a new and dynamic part of physical education programs in many parts of the country. Many studies have been completed to assess the effect of physical activities on the integration of the personality. An initial course, Outward Bound, was an outgrowth of stringent programs developed by the British Navy during World War II. Because the Navy had found their men not well prepared to handle crises or stressful situations, a solution to this problem was sought by establishing the first Outward Bound School. The specific purpose was to introduce physical challenge in its training of young …


Of Another World: The Jehovah's Witnesses, William Wesley Zellner Jan 1981

Of Another World: The Jehovah's Witnesses, William Wesley Zellner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Of Another World is an account of how the Jehovah's Witnesses recruit new members and retain these converts in the face of a skeptical world. The study also attempts to advance a theoretical model toward a generic and generalized account for conversion to a group with a devalued religious perspective. The model, developed by John Lofland in his study of the members of the Unification Church, appears with some modification, to be generalizable to the Jehovah's Witnesses. After modification, the model is still applicable to members of the Unification Church. It is argued that the social characteristics of a group …


Studies On Beneficial And Adverse Effects Of Dietary Buffers For Lambs, Jong Kyu Ha Jan 1981

Studies On Beneficial And Adverse Effects Of Dietary Buffers For Lambs, Jong Kyu Ha

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Experiments using lambs were conducted to study the effects of buffers or roughages against acidosis occurring during rapid dietary changes. Experiments using rats were conducted to investigate vitamin A and thiamin stability and/or utilization as influenced by bentonite. Incubating rumen fluid in vitro at a pH lower than 6 reduced volatile fatty acid (VFA) production and increased lactate accumulation. Limestone or bentonite at levels of 2% in 92% concentrate diets had little effect on feed intake or rumen and blood parameters during a 7-day treatment period using rumen-canulated sheep. However, 2% NaHCO3 increased rumen pH and feed intake on …


A History Of The Oldham, South Dakota Socialist Hall From 1913 To 1970, Richard E. Zimmer Jan 1981

A History Of The Oldham, South Dakota Socialist Hall From 1913 To 1970, Richard E. Zimmer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There may be many reasons for the appearance of the Socialist Hall in Oldham, South Dakota. Certainly a primary factor for its construction was the controversial Socialist party that formed a local branch in the Oldham area in 1912. It may be of interest to note that the town of Oldham had an opera house operating prior to the Socialist Hal1 and after the new hal1 was constructed, both continued to provide the community with a wide variety of entertainment and community activities. Unfortunately, the lack of information and the limited time and space does not allow the first opera …

Alienation Of Rural Youth In South Dakota, Mohammad S. Zakikhani

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There are two purposes of this research. The first purpose is to assess the presence of alienation in a sample of rural youth. The second purpose is to assess the relationship between the occurrence of alienation among rural youth and their plans for out- migration. The problem of concern in this project is addressed in terms of three questions. First, are rural youth alienated? Second, if alienation exists among rural youth, who is alienated? Third, if alienation exists among rural youth, does this experience relate to migration plans? Seeman's conceptualization of alienation as powerlessness, normlessness and isolation is applied in …

Dye Marking Of Antibiotics Used In Treatment Of Mastitis, Nancy Fairbank Novak

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The National Mastitis Council, Inc. defines mastitis as the infection of udder tissues (74). Mastitis is the most costly disease affecting dairy cows; many people do not realize the considerable losses due to mastitis (6). A reasonable estimate of the prevalence of mastitis is 50% of cows infected at any time (62); cows in the average herd contract clinical mastitis 1.5 times per year (74). The minimum antibiotic treatments per case of mastitis is two; with approximately 11 million dairy cows in the United States, the annual minimum number of antibiotic treatments is 33 million. In South Dakota, with nearly …
