A Comparison Of Two Smoking Reduction Treatments Under Conditions Designed To Be Interfering Or Not Interfering With The Smoking Habit., Gary Clive Salk 1944- May 1975

A Comparison Of Two Smoking Reduction Treatments Under Conditions Designed To Be Interfering Or Not Interfering With The Smoking Habit., Gary Clive Salk 1944-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Thirty smokers were solicited from the Wichita, Kansas community via the newspaper and broadcast media for a stop-smoking project. The volunteers were assigned to one of two treatments: double smoking or a modification of Von Dedenroth's (1964) treatment. Each of these treatments was further divided into two groups. These groups were designed to provide high and low interference with the smoker's habit. No effect was observed for interference and it was observed that the experimental conditions probably did not permit the possibility of more than a small interference effect in either group. However, a significant effect for time and time …

Automated Recognition Of Human Speech : A System Survey, A Problem Analysis, And A Frequency Shift Experiment, David Robin Scott

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This literature and experimental research was conducted in order to accomplish several objectives. First of all, the establishment of a historical background of speech recognition efforts was desired. This background would reveal the various basic approaches taken in the past to recognize speech. In addition, the disadvantages and contributions of each system would be noted in order to recognize and analyze the problems inherent in recognizing speech. Secondly, an analysis of the major problems blocking automatic speech recognition was desired not only to investigate these problems, but also to evaluate the state of their solutions. Thirdly, an experiment was performed …

Speech Training And Speech Activities In Institutions Of Higher Education In Taiwan, Chang Yuh-Sheng Jan 1971

Speech Training And Speech Activities In Institutions Of Higher Education In Taiwan, Chang Yuh-Sheng

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An M.A. thesis in speech on the status of speech training in Taiwan, China, is proposed. From personal experience, this author has discovered some difficulties which Chinese students meet when they take up speech in American universities. The chief reason for this might be that the Chinese students who study speech in American universities and colleges have a somewhat limited knowledge of the speech areas and an. inadequate background of speech training. Since speech courses are elective in most of the universities in Taiwan, the students' interest in participating in speech activities, such as speech contest and ·dramatic performance, has …

An Analysis Of Three Approaches To Grammar With Recommendations For A Multiphasal Grammar, Rose Marsha Kessler Jan 1971

An Analysis Of Three Approaches To Grammar With Recommendations For A Multiphasal Grammar, Rose Marsha Kessler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today the teacher is confronted with three approaches to the teaching of grammar, all of which contain useful concepts; it is the major contention of this study that the best of each of these approaches may be the desired choice. It is the intention of this paper to propose a multiphasal grammar and to show that such a grammar seems to be the ultimate direction for the teaching of the English language. This multiphasal grammar will combine the best of the three approaches: the most useful and logical elements of traditional nomenclature; the structuralists' emphasis on the sound of language, …


Freedom In Heidegger., John Duffy Trager 1937- Jan 1970

Freedom In Heidegger., John Duffy Trager 1937-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis represents an investigation into the meaning and development of freedom in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Part I deals primarily with Sein und Zeit. Dasein, human reality, is defined both as a finite, thrown being-in-the-world and as a free entity, projecting its possibilities. Dasein achieves authenticity in the renunciation of the crowd and by embracing its ultimate possibility--death. The conclusion to Part I argues for the identity, in Heidegger's thought, of finite freedom and temporality. Part II deals with Gelassenheit, a work of Heidegger's latter period. Freedom is expressed in a new vocabulary. Man must release himself but …
