The Determination Of Lead By Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrocsopy : A Study Of The Molecular Interferences, Ahmed Elsayed Abdelfattah Jan 1982

The Determination Of Lead By Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrocsopy : A Study Of The Molecular Interferences, Ahmed Elsayed Abdelfattah

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The presence of interference effects in atomic absorption spectroscopy affects the degree of accuracy that can be obtained. A major source of interference in electrothermal atomization processes appears to involve the formation of molecular species. In the analysis of lead in the presence of chloride, three peaks are observed. The first of these peaks has an absorption spectrum characteristic of lead chloride. The second and third peaks cannot be identified on the basis of their respective spectra. In the presence of nitrate, the analysis of lead results in the presence of a broad band absorption profile that cannot be identified. …


Demographic Characteristics Of Donors To South Dakota State University Athletics, Keith Warren Randklev Jan 1982

Demographic Characteristics Of Donors To South Dakota State University Athletics, Keith Warren Randklev

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

While the SDSU Director of Development is responsible for all fund-raising activities involving SDSU, the athletic department's effort is an independent endeavor administered by the athletic director. All activities of the athletic department involving fund-raising are coordinated with those of the Development Office. As the athletic programs continue to feel the effects of inflation and financial demands continue to sap the athletic budget, fund-raising efforts for athletics remain vital. Efforts for voluntary financial support have become more competitive on our society. Fundraising has been recognized as a big business that demands a well-planned, forward-moving program that is constantly being re-evaluated …


Identification Of Various Incest-Associated Indicators Within Families, Mary Kay Helling Jan 1982

Identification Of Various Incest-Associated Indicators Within Families, Mary Kay Helling

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Incest is a human behavior recorded in past and recent history. Behaviors labeled as incestuous vary greatly, ranging from sexual intercourse to intimate touching to display of sexual organs to verbal expression of sexual interest. For the purpose of this study, incest is defined as sexual activity among family members. More specifically, sexual activity is defined as either intercourse / or intimate touching or petting. Family members are either blood relatives or relatives through marriage or adoption (i.e. stepfathers or stepmothers). Throughout history, incest has typically been considered a taboo behavior. The taboo appears to be universal, yet various cultures …


Trace Determination Of Tellurium In Biological Samples By Flameless Atomic Absorption Following Extraction Of The Sym-Diphenylthiourea-Tellurium Complex, Deborah A. Pravecek Jan 1982

Trace Determination Of Tellurium In Biological Samples By Flameless Atomic Absorption Following Extraction Of The Sym-Diphenylthiourea-Tellurium Complex, Deborah A. Pravecek

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A flameless atomic absorption method of determining trace amounts of tellurium in acidic -media with sym-diphenylthiourea has been studied. Tellurium is extracted almost quantitatively from 4-8 M hydrochloric acid with a chloroform solution of sym-diphenylthiourea. The effects of interfering ions on the extraction efficiency have been studied. Conditions for the maximum extraction have been described. Optimal instrument parameters for the analysis of extracts have been determined. In most biological samples tellurium is found only in trace quantities. The necessity to determine traces of tellurium has raised difficult problems for analysts. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a technique …


Use Of Dry Whey And Lactose Hydrolysis In Yogurt Bases, Nagendra P. Shah Jan 1982

Use Of Dry Whey And Lactose Hydrolysis In Yogurt Bases, Nagendra P. Shah

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Yogurt is one of the oldest and most traditional fermented dairy products. Since early times it has been an important food item of the people in the Middle East. Except for its refreshing taste and wholesomeness as a food, no special virtues were claimed for it until early in the 20th century when the bacteriologist, Elie Metchnikoff, who shared a Nobel Prize in 1908, concluded from his studies on the effect of lactic acid bacteria of the digestive tract, that yogurt arrests putrefaction in the intestinal tract and thus might be beneficial to health (55). Attempts to popularize yogurt in …

Guidelines For Planning Facilities For The Adult Learner, Constance S. Hale Dec 1981

Guidelines For Planning Facilities For The Adult Learner, Constance S. Hale

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to survey selected existing facilities and to develop guidelines for planning facilities for the adult learner. The following subproblems were identified in order to adequately treat the problem: (1) To describe selected facilities for the adult learner; (2) To identify those elements considered essential, highly desirable, and significant in planning a facility for the adult learner. Four research questions were considered to be relevant to this study: (1) What were the most prevalent needs of the adult learner? (2) What facilities for the adult learner are in existence now? (3) What recommendations are given …

Curriculum Inferences For Secondary School Teachers In Population Education Within The School System Of Thailand, Manit Subhakul Dec 1981

Curriculum Inferences For Secondary School Teachers In Population Education Within The School System Of Thailand, Manit Subhakul

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the 1970's educational leaders in Thailand worked towards a plan to adopt population education at all levels in the educational system. At the time of this study, population education had been integrated into almost every level within the school system. Providing courses in population education at all school levels had increased the need for population teachers and instructional materials. The purposes of this study were: (1) to draw inferences about the suitability of contemporary population education teacher programs in Thailand for providing qualified teachers for secondary schools; (2) to provide basic information helpful in establishing programs in keeping with …
