Petrology And Stratigraphy Of The Greenbrier Limestone And Upper Pocono Sandstones, Wayne And Lincoln Counties, West Virginia., Bernard Robert Henniger

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A petrographic and stratigraphic study of the Middle Mississippian Greenbrier Group ("Big Lime") and associated units of southwestern West Virginia was undertaken by using 879 thin sections from 15 wells, 633 drillers' logs, and 66 mechanical logs. The "Big Lime" of southwestern West Virginia was deposited in a shallow- shelf, shoaling environment following slow transgression of the subtropical Greenbrier seas over a Pocono-Maccrady, deltaic-tidalflat complex. Regressive-transgressive fluctuations caused shoaling during lower to middle Union time, producing halo and crestal type oolite accumulations over Maccrady topographic highs. Biosparites were intimately associated with the shoal areas. Deepening of waters upon continued transgression …

Thomas Randolph: An Elizabethan In Scotland., Katharine Pitman Frescoln

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

There has long been a need for a study of Thomas Randolph who served intermittently as Elizabeth's agent (later as ambassador) in Scotland between the years I? 59 and 1586. This is a detailed study (in narrative style) of his involvement in Scottish affairs, based primarily on original manuscripts (largely found in the British Museum and the Public Record Office, London). Most of his letters are calendared and are readily available; thus they have been heavily relied upon for Anglo-Scottish studies. Unfortunately, some of the abstracts are inaccurate, misleading, or inadequate. Consequently, there have been misinterpretations. Moreover, Randolph is merely …

The basic premise supporting operational definitions such as conflict and identification requires that the structural interrelations of interpersonal variables be similar regardless of the data source from which obtained. If this premise were to hold, …

Tha two instructional modifications to be tested ara specifically: (1) Requiring subjects to delay responding aloud for an established number of list presentations (as opposed to permitting immediate responses), and (2) Informing subjects that capable individuals frequently experience considerable frustration before mastering the task with which they will be presented.
