A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam
A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It is the purpose of this study to help in the resolution of some of these questions by determining if the type of response made to programed material has any effect on the retention of the material. If, as was mentioned earlier, learning is the result of stimuli transmitted through the senses to the brain, it seems logical that the more senses involved in transmitting the stimuli to the brain the more effective and efficient the learning process will be. It is the hypothesis of this study that a person responding to programed material by having to think what the …
The "Republic Of The Spirit" : Marital Love In Edith Wharton's The House Of Mirth, The Custom Of The Country, And The Age Of Innocence, Nancy Lee Preszler
The "Republic Of The Spirit" : Marital Love In Edith Wharton's The House Of Mirth, The Custom Of The Country, And The Age Of Innocence, Nancy Lee Preszler
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Edith Wharton's concern with the institution of marriage was both a personal and an artistic one. Her own marriage ended in divorce after many years of trying to nurse her husband through repeated attacks or mental illness. This marriage, not the ideal as far as Mrs. Wharton was concerned, was one of companionship but one lacking spiritual and intellectual satisfaction. The attitude which Mrs.Wharton gradually developed toward her own marriage and its failure is apparent in her fiction. This thesis has analyzed Edith Wharton's three major society novels, The House Mirth, The Custom of the Country, and The Age of …

A square mesh is used with maximum subdivisions as allowed by the storage capacity of the computer available at South Dakota State University. The nodal points of the mesh are placed in such a way as to give an approximate outline of the circular or elliptical shape. The plates under study are simply supported along two edges and free along the other two, and subjected to …
An Economic Analysis Of Selected Irrigation Systems Applicable To The Eastern Missouri Slope Area Of South Dakota, Myron W. Wolff
An Economic Analysis Of Selected Irrigation Systems Applicable To The Eastern Missouri Slope Area Of South Dakota, Myron W. Wolff
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For many years the prospect of irrigation development has captured the minds of farmers, agribusinessmen, and residents of the Eastern Missouri Slope area of South Dakota. The area has shared in the over-all technological advance in agriculture, but agricultural production and incomes have remained highly variable. This variability is generated by inconsistent yields caused by extreme annual fluctuations in the quantity and seasonal distribution of rainfall. Irrigation is the logical solution for stabilizing production and income. In the last decade there has been a major transition from gravity to sprinkler irrigation systems. Economic and physical factors have caused the trend …

A Chromosome Study Of Chlorophytum Elatum, Dennis E. Driscoll
A Chromosome Study Of Chlorophytum Elatum, Dennis E. Driscoll
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The spider plant, Chlorophytum elatum R. Br., a member of the family Liliaceae, is a native of South Africa. It has been propagated almost exclusively by vegetative means and it is now grown widely over the world as an ornamental plant. Many studies by other workers have revealed that with only two exceptions all species in the genus Chlorophytum have somatic chromosome numbers that are multiples of seven, ranging from 14 to 56 (c.f. Darlington and Wiley, 1955). Although the chromosome number of Chlorophytum elatum has ·been reported to be 2N = 28 (Sato, 1942; Baldwin and Speese, 1951) information …

In an address to his cabinet on August 25, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced a revolutionary system of planning and programming and budgeting throughout the Federal Government "• • • so that through the tools of modern management the full promise of a finer life can be brought.to every American at the lowest possible cost." The tools of modern management to which the former President referred are those employed within the Planning-ProgrammingBudgeting System (PPBS) process. Recently, in seeking solutions to urban problems, urban planners also have focused their attention on these tools of modern management. Amelioration of urban problems …
Erosion Protection For The Outlets Of Small And Medium Culverts, Robert A. Hipschman
Erosion Protection For The Outlets Of Small And Medium Culverts, Robert A. Hipschman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The development of modern roadways has been regarded as one of the most outstanding accomplishments of the past generation. It has created a society of greater mobility than any of its ancestors. The massive stretches of freeways, expressways, and turnpikes are omnipresent, testifying to a modernization of man that was inconceivable fifty years ago. The design of such trafficways was of no mere coincidence. Millions of dollars and man-hours have been expended on the creation of this vast transportation complex. Continual improvements and new ideas have evolved the highway from rugged wagon trails to its present place of eminence. Included …
An Evaluation Of Speech Education Offered In The High Schools Of The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod During The 1968-1969 School Year, Mary L. Heins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There are few vocations that utilize speaking skills as frequently as those of the teacher and the minister. Because of his belief in the importance of -his message, Professor Frederick Manthey, instructor at Martin Luther Academy, said, "A Christian - will do his utmost to further the message of the Gospel in order that this saving message may not be hindered." As a result it would seem appropriate that young men and young women preparing for. the preaching, teaching, or lay ministry or the church would certainly have need for speech training. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to …
The Effect Of 2,4-D And Atrazine On The Growth Rate Of A Mixed Algae Culture, John P. King
The Effect Of 2,4-D And Atrazine On The Growth Rate Of A Mixed Algae Culture, John P. King
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The application of herbicides to both aquatic and terrestrial environments is increasing at a very rapid rate. In the Weed Control Handbook (Blackwell 1960), 71 herbicides are named. Yet today, approximately 3/4 of all weed control is accomplished by 2,4-D, simazine (similar in action to atrazine) and diuron. This application is even more pronounced in predominately agricultural areas such as eastern South Dakota. Both 2,4-D and atrazine are used extensively for weed control in agriculture, and it is not being presumptuous to assume that they are finding their way into our lakes and streams. It is the purpose of this …
The Effects Of Selected Training Intensities And Durations On Blood Cholesterol And Selected Anthropometric Measurements, Alan Ingmar Molde
The Effects Of Selected Training Intensities And Durations On Blood Cholesterol And Selected Anthropometric Measurements, Alan Ingmar Molde
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Physical inactivity, due to automation and our busy mode of living, has contributed to a health problem in modern society. When obesity, high-fat diets, cigarette smoking, and stress are added, the end-product is an alarming increase in incidence of diseases of the heart and lungs. Admittedly, such diseases are multifactorial in cause, but inactivity appears to assume an increasingly important role. Exercise in relation to preventative and rehabilitative medicine, however, is a new and rapid changing field of research. Consequently, the knowledge concerning physical conditioning and training programs is limited and inadequate. Therefore, educators in health and physical education are …
The Origin And Development Of Sunday Competition Between The Hartford Courant And The Hartford Times, James M. Neal Jr.
The Origin And Development Of Sunday Competition Between The Hartford Courant And The Hartford Times, James M. Neal Jr.
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Despite the fact that the Times was an afternoon paper and the Courant a morning paper, the two were more alike than they were different throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Each newspaper was increasingly influenced by persons not native to New England, but both retained executives with New England roots. They were closely balanced in manpower, they competed vigorously for the same kinds of news, and (after September, 1968) they presented similar Sunday packages. Carl Lindstrom's charge that newspapers were increasingly dominated by the business offices could hardly be applied fairly to either newspaper in Hartford by 1970. The publishers …

The Effects Of 2-Chloroethylphosphonic Acid On Bud The Effects Of 2-Chloroethylphosphonic Acid On Bud Vascularization In Sorghum Halapense, L.Ascularization In Sorghum Halapense, L., Robert Allen Peterson
The Effects Of 2-Chloroethylphosphonic Acid On Bud The Effects Of 2-Chloroethylphosphonic Acid On Bud Vascularization In Sorghum Halapense, L.Ascularization In Sorghum Halapense, L., Robert Allen Peterson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An assumption can be postulated that the auxin produced in the stem apex may inhibit bud development by preventing differentiation of vascular connections between the cauline bundle and the bud primordia. This would deprive the primordia of nutrients and growth substances being translocated in the mainstream vascular elements. The assumption is that prior to decapitation, vascularization is incomplete to the laterals in johnsongrass and that after decapitation, vascularization becomes complete. Dr. C. A. Beasley has found that plants treated with ethrel will react the same as decapitated plants. This study was designed to examine ethrel treated plants and examine anatomically …
An Investigation Of Eye-Movements When X-Height And Line Length Are Held Constant And Alphabet Length Is Prismatically Varied, Harold D. Perry
An Investigation Of Eye-Movements When X-Height And Line Length Are Held Constant And Alphabet Length Is Prismatically Varied, Harold D. Perry
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The growing percentage· of type set by the "cold type" process combined with the growth of lithographic printing has increased the use of filmed typefaces. Machines now exist that can greatly reduce or enlarge a filmed typeface from its original size. A prism attachment on a process camera allows type to be altered in one dimension while holding the other constant. The effects on readability of such alterations are of importance to the printer. In a master's degree thesis study, Joseph W. Truex used a prism camera to simultaneously and direct! vary line length and alphabet length. He found no …

A History Of Speech Education At Watertown Senior High School, Watertown, South Dakota, Richard James Reddy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A historical thesis on the development of speech education at Watertown Senior High School, Watertown, South Dakota, is proposed. The specific purpose is to present, in an orderly fashion, a chronology of the development of curricular and cocurricular speech education from the opening of Watertown Senior High School in 1879 through the 1968-1969 academic school year. A study of the past is often valuable as a guide to the future. Historians from the field of speech recognized this fact when, in 1941, they authorized the compilation of A History of Speech Education in America. Chapters 20 and 21 of that …
Flexural Analysis Of Two-Way Slabs By Yield-Line Theory, D. Bapu Rao
Flexural Analysis Of Two-Way Slabs By Yield-Line Theory, D. Bapu Rao
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The yield-line theory provides a powerful tool for studying the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete slabs at ultimate load. The ductility of steel reinforcement and the plastic properties of concrete material constitute the basis for this theory. Therefore, the application of yield-line theory depends on full plastic behavior in the slab at failure; thus, the slab is assumed to be under reinforced. Yield lines initiate at locations of maximum stress and with increasing load they propagate to a full yield-line pattern; at this stage the slab is divided into-segments and is subjected to its maximum useful load. However, due to …
Student Instruction Manual For Black And White Film Processing And Printing, Stephen Michael Delay
Student Instruction Manual For Black And White Film Processing And Printing, Stephen Michael Delay
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For most subject matter the ideal classroom situation would allow a one-to-one relationship between instructor and student. In teaching basic photography this is especially true because of the great number of steps involved in producing a finished photograph and because each step must be done correctly to achieve good results. Time won't permit the instructor to effectively follow each student through all the steps involved, and, ideally the student should be allowed to work at his or her own speed. The one-to-one relationship therefore, isn't possible in most photography classes and, for that reason, something is needed to take the …
The Effect Of Group Counseling On The Self Concept, Richard Noel Manley
The Effect Of Group Counseling On The Self Concept, Richard Noel Manley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to provide some basic understanding of the value of group counseling as it affects the self concept of individual participants. In many theoretical constructs of humanistic psychology there are numerous references emphasizing that the most important goal for group counseling is individual members’ attainment of a better understanding of themselves. A corollary to this assumption is that by understanding themselves, group members will be able to deal with their own frustrations and conflicts in a more meaningful way. The theoretical construct produced by this philosophical concept of self has been extensive, but the evaluation …
The Identification Of Changing Sex Roles Within A Family Unit As Perceived By First Graders, Janelle Fridley Jones
The Identification Of Changing Sex Roles Within A Family Unit As Perceived By First Graders, Janelle Fridley Jones
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Family life education includes the total education for living in families. The main emphasis of all home economics or homemaking education is life as it is lived within the home and family. Some aspects of home economics are usually included in the curriculum at all age levels from early childhood through secondary education. Family life in America has changed over the years. Such factors as family mobility, a greater amount of leisure time, an increase in early marriages, and more mothers employed outside the home indicate the need for education in family living. Moreover, currently fewer youngsters learn about homemaking …
A Novel Fm/Am Telemetry Transmitter, Robert L. Lounsbery
A Novel Fm/Am Telemetry Transmitter, Robert L. Lounsbery
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The transmission of information is in many cases vital to modern research. An example is the transmission of information which concerns the physiological phenomena taking place inside the body of an unrestrained animal. The transmission of the information has to be accomplished with a minimum amount of-discomfort to the animal. A physical connection to the sensor would cause much discomfort to the animal and would not indicate a normal situation. Therefore, in recent years the information gained from a sensor (inside of an animal's body) has been used as the intelligence to modulate a small telemetry unit. This information is …

The Effects Of Selected Training Intensities And Durations On Improvement And Maintenance Of Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Joel Austin Swisher
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The benefits of being physically fit are generally accepted, but in the fast-moving society of today people find it difficult to allot regular periods of time for exercise. When they do have some spare time, they generally desire to spend it in an enjoyable manner. With these factors in mind, it is imperative that a physical conditioning program be designed wherein the subjects can develop and maintain good cardiorespiratory fitness with a minimum of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of selected training intensities and durations in order to determine a minimal training program …
