Milton And Cambridge : A New Look At An Old Attitude, Roy S. Riner

Master's Theses

From the insights cleaned from current research into John Milton's years as an undergraduate and a graduate student at Cambridge University, this writer has found an overwhelming amount of material dedicated to pointing out Milton's total lack of affection for that university. For the most part, those statements bearing on Milton's dislike for Cambridge are unequivocal. For example, one scholar has remarked that John Milton departed from the University in 1632 "weary and disguised" with the medieval, unbearable antiquated methods of the place. That same scholar continues with the statement that Milton's attitude toward Cambridge was "uniformly unfriendly" and that …

The Relation Between Measured Intelligence And The Ability To Learn, Robert Stephen Peddicord

Master's Theses

There are perhaps as many definitions of intelligence as there are definers. However, one definition which has extensive commonsense appeal, according to Simrall (1947), identifies intelligence with the ability to learn, or to profit from experience. Certainly, many practicing psychologists have interpreted intelligence test scores as reflective of an individual's learning ability or potential for future learning. In his address as retiring president of the American Psychological Association, Garrett commented that: "It is undoubtedly true that intelligence involves the ability to learn..." (Garrett, 1946, p. 372).

Colonial Independence Of Feeding Among Zooids Of The Ectoproct Lophodella Carteri (Hyatt), Leonard M. Bahr

Master's Theses

Possible interactions of feeding between zooids of colonies of the freshwater ectoproct Lophopodella carter! were investigated. Suspensions of Euglena gracilis at a concentration of 558x10³ cells ml^-1 were cleared by L. carter at a rate of 2.7 x 10^-3 ml min^-1 zooid^-1 for15 minute periods. The rate of ingestion of E. gracilis by L. carter was independent of the size of colony and decreased exponentially with time, declining to about one third the original rate in 60 minutes.

Black Cloud Over Danville: The Negro Movement In Danville, Virginia In 1963, Gordon Brooks Powell Jr.

Master's Theses

It ls the purpose of this work to show how the racial disturbance began and why it came to a close in Danville, Virginia in 1963. This work asks: "Why Danville, what happened, what killed it, and what was the aftermath?" The central vehicle for answering these questions is the Danville Police Department. Research was done, over a period of some fifteen months, through a series of court records and transcripts, interviews, newspapers, observations, books, and other sources related to this topic. It should be pointed out, that in as many cases as possible, this author attempted to determine the …

The Image Of The Jew In James Joyce's Ulysses, Phyllis Joyce Cohen Levy

Master's Theses

Since the beginning of English literature, the Jew has been portrayed as a villain. Edgar Rosenberg and Montague Frank Madder most affirmed the conviction in each of their studies of the Jew in English literature. However, the conclusion that the Jew is still portrayed as a villain is invalid because the image has changed. It is my intention to examine this change, focusing particularly on the character of Leopold Bloom in James Joyce 's Ulysses.

Effect Of Maze Arm Alternation On Maze Traversal Latency : Analysis Of The Aftereffects Hypothesis, Ronald Seymour Johnson

Master's Theses

Clark Hull (1952) proposed that nonreinforccd trials facilitate distinctive after effects and used this "aftereffect" theory to account for the PREE (the greater resistance to extinction of partially rewarded Ss as compared to continuously rewarded Ss). The theory proposed that stimulus traces of a nonrewarded trial (S^N) persist and are conditioned to the locomotor response (R_i) on trials which are reinforced and preceded by nonreinforced trials. If t he S^N_>R_i association has been established under partial reward conditions, and since S^N occurs during extinction, PREE is predicted.

The Theory And Development Of A Dyeing Machine Employing The Rotary Pendulum, Ashley Paul Smith

Master's Theses

A review of dyeing methods for carpet is made with the objective that the requirements of a new machine could be formulated. The proposal for a new machine is made in the light of the above review using a pendulum as the basic component. A theory is developed for the motion of the pendulum which is mounted on a rotating disc, and the experimental work built on theory is outlined. A prototype machine based on the rotary pendulum mechanism was used to dye impregnate carpet.

A Spectrophotometric Study Of The System: Cobalt--2,2,8,8-Tetrakis (Hydroxymethyl)-3,7-Diaza-1,5,9-Nonanetriol, Pauline Frances Fones

Master's Theses

Spectrophotometric studies or solutions or 2,2;8;a. tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)-3, 7-diaza-1,5.9-nonanetriol, (HOCH₂),₃CHNCH₂CH(OH)CH₂NHC(CH₂OH)₃, with cobalt (II) gave evidence of complexes having metal-ligand ratios of 1:2 and 1:3. Complexation appeared nearly complete at pH 8 or greater. Between pH 8 and pH 11, the positions of the maxima in the absorbance spectra remained essentially constant and no precipitation was observed. The 1:2 complex formed rapidly, while the 1:3 complex formed more slowly, requiring one to two weeks to reach equilibrium, after which the solutions remained unchanged over a period or several months. Evidence …

In The Mind's Eye : A Study Of Shakespeare's Imaginative Use Of Stage Properties In Six Representative Plays, Margaret Hart Glenn Tinsley

Master's Theses

The unity, or stylistic oneness, that is the most salient characteristic of Shakespeare's style has been achieved with such consummate ease that the underlying pattern of workmanship is imperceptible at a casual reading. Upon analysis, however, the ingenious means which the playwright has employed, perhaps unconsciously, to create this effect of unity easily may be discerned.

This paper is an analysis of the stage properties in six plays and their function in the plays' overall design. In this study it may be seen that within each play each stage property is so imaginatively used that it seems at once both …

Reconstructing Shabazz : Images Of The Black Man In Four Black Plays, William Charles Thompson

Master's Theses

When Elizabeth I ascended the throne in 1558, she was confronted with a changing economic situation. English industry, which had for centuries been localized in the towns under guild control, was maturing and becoming national in scope. In accordance with the prevailing economic precepts of the age, Elizabeth desired to bring industry under a system of national regulation. Such a system of regulation was, however, even for the strongest and most ingenious of the Tudor autocrats, a difficult and elusive goal. Plagued throughout her long reign by a shortage of funds, Elizabeth simply could not afford to involved the state …

Effects Of Category-Relevance, Retention Measure, And Category-Affiliation Upon Retention Of The Aging, Gary M. Tyson

Master's Theses

The present investigation represents an attempt to further explore several parameters of short-term memory as a function of the relevance of appropriateness of the verbal materials utilized. It is the author's contention that due to changing patterns of interests and experiences accompanying chronological aging, certain types of verbal material vary with respect to their relevance for use with aging populations. In regard to parameters of short-term memory, the present study contains provisions for exploring efficiency of retention as a function of the retention measure; and category•affiliated as opposed to randomly-selected words. A more complete and integrated formulation is presented in …
