Comparing The Effectiveness Of Two Different Methods Of Teaching A Self-Developed Consumer Education Unit In A Second Year High School Home Economics Class, Doris L. Keiner

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. An attempt was made to place equal numbers of high-, average-, and low-ability students in each group and to compare the …

Lateral Deflections And Stress Analysis Of Plate Girder Webs Subjected To Horizontal Loads, Hong-To Lam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In a routine design of a plate girder bridge, the structural engineer is mainly concerned with the gross area of the flange due to bending and the gross area of the web due to shear. The web deflections and stresses due to horizontal loads resulting from the bracket during construction are not considered. The object of this thesis is to establish a mathematical solution which permits the prediction of structural behavior of the web for lateral loads. The web deflection and stress which occur as a result of using temporary construction brackets are primarily studied. In this investigation, a partial …

Partial Cooling Of The Environment In Free Stalls For Sows During Farrowing And Lactation, Thomas R. Gannon

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many of the technological advances in the swine industry have resulted in increased capital requirements for buildings and equipment. This has made multiple farrowing, including summer farrowing, a near necessity. Hog farmers recognize the problem of sow mortality due to severe heat stress during periods of high ambient temperatures, and hog producers utilizing the free stall farrowing system recognize yet another problem, that of poor stall occupancy. Sows in this type of system tend to seek relief by leaving their stalls and lying in moist or breezy areas. This decreased stall occupancy has resulted in pigs being severely neglected, reduced …
