The Military As Agents Of Development: The Nigerian Case-Study, 1970-1979, William Ross Ennenbach

Masters Theses

The nation of Nigeria, located in sub-Saharan West Africa, was considered one of the former European colonies possessing the potentials after its independence in 1960 to develop itself as both a viable political as well as economic system. The attributes so often identified with such successful developmental efforts of nations in the past--abundant human and natural resources--were the positive factors political scientists and economists considered as being of primary importance if the full potentials of Nigeria were to be realized.

However, the road towards the economic and political development of Nigeria has not been an easy one due to several …

Fielding's Clergymen, Kathleen Marie Puhr

Masters Theses

Henry Fielding presented more clergymen in his fiction than any other major novelist except Trollope, and his non-fictional writings--notably articles in his journal, The Champion--also reflect his interest in the status of the clergy in eighteenth-century England. In his series of articles entitled “An Apology for the Clergy,” Fielding establishes the criteria by which he feels clergymen should be judged and lists the qualities of the “true” and “false” clergymen.

This study reveals that while Fielding in his non-fictional works clearly explains the traits of the true clergyman, his fiction does not contain a clergyman measuring up to his …

An Outline Of The Procedures To Reduce Budget Expenditures In The Edwards County Community Unit School District No. 1 For The 1978-79 Fiscal Year, Gary J. Schurz

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to discover ways to reduce expenditures in the budget of the Edwards County Community Unit School District No. 1 for the 1978-79 fiscal year in the light of a projected loss of revenues complicated by inflationary trends.

The need arose due to three factors:

1. A loss of a portion of the district's state aid due to a previous overpayment.
2. A rise in the assessed valuation which would mean an additional loss of state aid: It was projected that local monies collected would not offset the loss of state aid.
3. Spiraling inflation was creating an …

The Relationship Of Lateral Eye Movements To Field-Dependence-Independence And Verbal And Performance Skills, Linda J. Stennett-Mason

Masters Theses

Lateral eye movements and handedness as indexes of hemisphere asymmetry were compared to field-dependence-independence, as measured by Rod-and-Frame Test errors, and to Wechsler Verbal and Performance IQs. Consistent with previous research, the hypotheses predicted that persons with inconsistent lateral eye movements (ambilaterality) would have greater Rod-and-Frame errors (field-dependence) and lower Wechsler Verbal and Performance IQs.

Subjects were 41 male undergraduates who were grouped according to their lateral eye movements in response to 20 reflective questions consisting of ten verbal (left-hemisphere) and ten spatial (right-hemisphere) questions. The response scoring resulted in 12 subjects with 70% or more lateral eye movements to …

Evaluation And Improvement Of The Wu-Koh Model For The Prediction Of Multiple-Cell Cooling Tower Plumes, Michael Joseph Wastag

Masters Theses

This paper evaluates and improves the performance of the Wu-Koh mathematical model for the prediction of plume dispersion from multiple natural-draft (NDCT) and mechanical-draft (MDCT) cooling towers. The Wu-Koh multiple-tower model was chosen for study due to its advanced treatment of plume merging.

Our evaluation of the Wu-Koh model was carried out by comparing model predictions of field and laboratory data. Comparisons of model predictions of visible plume outlines were made to single- and multiple-tower visible plume data. The sites of the single-tower data were Lunen (300 MW_e), Chalk Point (630 MW_e) and Paradise (1100 MW …

The purpose of the study was to interest students in health occupations and to provide information concerning personal qualifications, education, licensing, remuneration, career mobility and where more information could be obtained.

To accomplish this, health workers were invited to the school during the noon hour to speak to students who were interested. Interest was promoted by means of a prominently placed, permanent bulletin kept up-to-date with a year-schedule and a current-meeting announcement attached. Intercommunication system announcements were made the day prior to and the morning of each meeting. In addition, by means of a sign-up sheet to note attendance, a …
