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 …

Selected Flexibility Exercises And Baseball Hitting Proficiency, Kenneth Bernard Krogman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There appears to be an increasing interest among baseball coaches n the development of a flexibility program to improve hitting consistency. Through an analysis of the form used for hitting a baseball, fisher revealed that a full powered swing is dependent of the range of motion in the body’s joints and that a subsequent amount of force is lost when flexion in the hips is decreased. The identification of selected flexibility exercises related to the success of hitting and implementation into training programs would be of significant value to coaches and players alike. The purpose of this study was to …

The purpose of this study was to investigate, by means of objective tests, the relationship of selected physical characteristics to performance by swimmers in a forty-five yard freestyle sprint.

Free Will And Destiny In Chaucer, Irvine Lee Patten

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This short comparison of a very old and a very new philosophy has been by way of introduction to my own topic, in a study which I hope will demonstrate some important aspects of how we have examined the extent of own responsibility in shaping our fate. My focus will be on the late Middle Ages and specifically on three of Chaucer’s works as they are borrowed in plot and character from Boccaccio, and how they are reworked to show the importance of moral self-determination. These works are Troilus and Creseyda, The Knight’s Tale, and The Monk’s Tale as they …
