A Method For The Determination Of Solanesol In Tobacco, Ludwig Weissbecker Jan 1966

A Method For The Determination Of Solanesol In Tobacco, Ludwig Weissbecker

Master's Theses

The object or this work was to develop a procedure for the quantitative determination of solanesol in the petroleum ether extract of tobacco. The amount of tobacco extracted into petroleum ether is routinely used to differentiate tobacco types. The extraction procedures have been extensively studied by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) and reported in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Technical Bulletin # 1186.

There is at present no method for the quantitative determination of solanesol. One procedure which comes closest, involves an infrared measurement of the tobacco extract. Because of the presence of other bands, the …

An Analysis Of The Public Intermediate School, Richard Thomas Talbert

The author bas also tried to show that there is a major difference between the traditional junior high school organization and the intermediate school organization. The author has concluded by means of research that the term "intermediate" is used interchangeably with the term "middle" in references made to that period of intermediary instruction.

Current Practices In Selection, Instruction, And Supervision Of School Bus Drivers In Virginia, William Gibbs Thomas Jan 1966

Current Practices In Selection, Instruction, And Supervision Of School Bus Drivers In Virginia, William Gibbs Thomas

Master's Theses

The transportation of school children to and from school has not always been the states' responsibility. The attitude of most educators before 1850 was that if students really wanted to come to school they would come even if they had to travel many miles. This attitude of the educated few did not lend itself to a tax-supported pupil transportation system.

The importance of the school bus driver cannot be overemphasized. It is the bus driver's responsibility to get the children to and from safely. There is considerable evidence that very few accidents result from mechanical failure of the bus; most …


Economic Effects Of An Industrial Plant Locating In A Rural County, Willie Calvin Rigsby Jan 1966

Economic Effects Of An Industrial Plant Locating In A Rural County, Willie Calvin Rigsby

Master's Theses

Since the end of World War II, there has been a measurable tendency for new manufacturing plants to be built in rural areas in the South. The predominantly rural and agricultural counties of Virginia have a considerably higher proportion of the new plants than they had of the total number of manufacturing plants in 1950.1 In Virginia, this trend has been aided by the Division of Industrial Development and Planning, and industrial departments of railroads and electric utilities, which have used their influence to encourage the building of new manufacturing plants in low-income rural areas when economically feasible.

The Problem Of Satan In Milton's Paradise Lost, Jeanne Saunders Jan 1966

The Problem Of Satan In Milton's Paradise Lost, Jeanne Saunders

Master's Theses

By 1641 John Milton had prepared a rather detailed outline for a tragic drama, Adam Unparadised. The design was to take form and grow, not as a religious drama, but as a magnificent epic poem which would "assert Eternal Providence,/And justify the ways of God to men" (I.25-26). In the original design for the drama the character and person of Satan did not constitute a basis for sustained interest. However, when Paradise Lost was finished in 1665, this was no longer the case; Satan, as an historical figure treated by the poetic and religious imagination of Milton, emerged as one …

Rhetorical Patterns In The Poetry Of Andrew Marvell, Elizabeth Hughes Pole Jan 1966

Rhetorical Patterns In The Poetry Of Andrew Marvell, Elizabeth Hughes Pole

Master's Theses

The two-fold insight that derives from this study is, on the one hand, the increased understanding of Marvell's use of language in both early and late poems and, on the other, the increased understanding of the rhetorical movements. The reader of Marvell's poems is possessed of a sensitivity to his poetry that is based on an awareness of his rhetoric as idiosyncratic and as reflective of the habits of the age.


The Effect Of Aging On Ratings Of Self, Physical Self And Related Body Concepts As Measured By A Semantic Differential, Gary V. Whalen Jan 1966

The Effect Of Aging On Ratings Of Self, Physical Self And Related Body Concepts As Measured By A Semantic Differential, Gary V. Whalen

Master's Theses

Present Study. Although there is considerable overlap between the body image and the self concept, it would be premature to draw any conclusions regarding one based upon the other until the nature and extent of correlation is obtained. This study is an attempt to determine the extent and direction that an individual's body image may fluctuate as a function of growing old. It is concerned with how the human organism may change over time with respect to a single aspect of the constellations of factors that go into making up a person's self concept. More specifically, do body part ratings …
