Fresh And Cured Properties Of Low Quality (Pse) Hams As Compared To Normal Hams, Thomas H. Van Meeteren

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the mid to late 1950's meat scientists and processors became increasingly aware of and interested in ante mortem and post-mortem stress and how it related to meat quality. This interest was generated largely from two problem conditions confronting the meat industry: pale, soft, exudative pork and dark cutting beef. Briskey et al. were the first to study the condition in pork. Further explorations were reported by Briskey, Hedrick et al., Lewis and Sayre et al. Research has characterized physical and chemical conditions associated with pale, soft and watery pork since it was first reported. This research was probably stimulated …

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 …

Adjustment Of Rural And Urban Residents In Five Retirement Homes In Northeastern Wisconsin, Grace E. Kiefert

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The need for this study is indicated by gaps in gerontological research and information.

The actual physical conditions of the homes are inconsequential to this study because the residents' perception of the situation· is critical to adjustment. This will provide the focus for this study. The objectives of this study …

Selected Determinants Of The Hiring Policy Of Employers Relative To Businesses In Five Counties Of South Dakota, Don Martin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Description of the Problem For nearly everyone in our society, remunerative work has provided a meaningful role. It also provided an avenue for the attainment of respect, dignity, and the essentials of the "good life." On the other hand, unemployment has necessitated reliance on programs for the indigent and unemployed. The central focus of this study was the Janus-headed problem of unemployment and underemployment. The approach was oriented to a level of organization which has not previously been adequately explored. Unlike most of the studies which have attempted to meliorate the exigencies of unemployment, this study focused on the needs …

A Conceptual Analysis Of Alienation In Current Theory And Research, Lanny Aron Neider

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to examine the assumed relationship between theory and research with respect to alienation. The basic hypothesis of this study is that empirical research on alienation would be influenced by existing theoretical formulations on the topic. It is argued that Melvin Seaman's 1959 conceptualization of alienation would constitute the major theoretical influence inasmuch as it alone provided a systematic set of research­able meanings. To test this basic hypothesis, four sub-hypotheses were developed: (1) Based upon Seeman's five dimensional scheme one should expect a fairly equal emphasis on the examination of all dimensions of alienation in …

Literature related to reference theory dealing with medical students and ministerial specialization was also dealt with. The basic theoretical model used was that of Merton. He related reference group theory to the occupational …

The Relationship Of Forward Pass Catching Ability In Football And Selected Anatomical Measurements And Motor Responses, Marlin Peter Vis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

American football has undergone many significant changes since its first recorded game between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869. Once change has been the growth in the importance of the forward pass to the offense. Rockne cites the year 1912 as a turning point of the growth in popularity of football. It was during this year that the Rules Committee removed many of the restrictions against the forward pass and made more definite the penalties against interfering with the receiver. Rockne states that this increase in the popularity of football is due “entirely to the open game, to the increase of …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Because this home economics teacher had a desire to become involved with the new trends in education, she chose to compare the effectiveness of an independent method and a traditional method of teaching a self-developed, three week consumer education unit to 31 girls in a Home Economics II class at Madison Senior High School, Madison, South Dakota. The effectiveness of each teaching method was to be measured by the change in scores of a pretest and a post test.
