A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam Jan 1970

A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this study to help in the resolution of some of these questions by determining if the type of response made to programed material has any effect on the retention of the material. If, as was mentioned earlier, learning is the result of stimuli transmitted through the senses to the brain, it seems logical that the more senses involved in transmitting the stimuli to the brain the more effective and efficient the learning process will be. It is the hypothesis of this study that a person responding to programed material by having to think what the …

The "Republic Of The Spirit" : Marital Love In Edith Wharton's The House Of Mirth, The Custom Of The Country, And The Age Of Innocence, Nancy Lee Preszler Jan 1970

The "Republic Of The Spirit" : Marital Love In Edith Wharton's The House Of Mirth, The Custom Of The Country, And The Age Of Innocence, Nancy Lee Preszler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Edith Wharton's concern with the institution of marriage was both a personal and an artistic one. Her own marriage ended in divorce after many years of trying to nurse her husband through repeated attacks or mental illness. This marriage, not the ideal as far as Mrs. Wharton was concerned, was one of companionship but one lacking spiritual and intellectual satisfaction. The attitude which Mrs.Wharton gradually developed toward her own marriage and its failure is apparent in her fiction. This thesis has analyzed Edith Wharton's three major society novels, The House Mirth, The Custom of the Country, and The Age of …

Isolation Of Keratinophilic Fungi From Soil And Wild Animals In South Dakota, William Urban Knudtson Jan 1969

Isolation Of Keratinophilic Fungi From Soil And Wild Animals In South Dakota, William Urban Knudtson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Very little is known of the ecology of keratinophilic fungi in animal populations and their habitats in South Dakota. Recent investigation of an outbreak of ringworm in blue foxes on a fur farm in South Dakota indicated that the source of infection may have been wild animals which had been captured and raised in the kennels previous to occupancy by the foxes. In recent years, a number of investigators have demonstrated that small and large mammals may carry keratinophilic fungi in their coats (13, 29-31, 52, 56-60, 63, 70, 77) and have postulated on the role of infected animals in …

Themes Of Isolation And Relationship In Selected Novels Of Frederick Manfred, Joan Hilmoe Jan 1969

Themes Of Isolation And Relationship In Selected Novels Of Frederick Manfred, Joan Hilmoe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The initial appeal of the novelist Frederick Manfred for this student of American literature grew from the fact that he is a contemporary writer and that he lives in the Midwest, more precisely, in Siouxland. At first his novels seemed primarily entertaining, but interest in his work developed with an awareness of a parallel between Manfred's concepts of the isolation of man and relationship to his fellow man and modern psychological ideas. Throughout the research and study of several novels, insights have crystallized to form a clearer idea of man's search for identity and the results of that search in …

Polynomial Approximation Of A Magnetization Curve, Viswanath Narayan Jan 1969

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 …

A Study Of Land-Grant University Alumni Magazines And Of Reader Responses To The Montana Collegian Of Montana State University, Jeffrey B. Nelson Jan 1969

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 …
