An Analysis Of The Qualifications Of Selected Business Students Who Graduated From Comstock, Michigan, High School To Determine The Adequacy Of Their Training, Esther Larsen Fellows

Masters Theses

The Problem and Its Background

Since the first World War, business training on the secondary level has steadily grown in the number of students enrolled and in importance. New inventions, recent legislation involving more record keeping, and rapidly growing industry has brought about the demand for more workers, especially for office workers.

In a survey made in 1954 for the Comstock School Board it was found that most of the graduates from Comstock High School begin working in offices without further training. Although 49 per cent of the graduates seek further education before beginning regular employment, only 30 per cent …

The Relationship Of Missing Teeth To Lisps, Richard Swerzbin

Masters Theses

Introduction

The Problem and Its Background

The profession of speech therapy is little more than twenty-five years old. As in any new field many beliefs are currently held without experimental corroboration. One of these concerns dentition. The claim is made by some speech therapists that missing teeth cause lisps. Other therapists and writers have doubted this belief. It is therefore the purpose of this study to determine the relationship between missing and articulation of the sibilant sounds, [s], [z], [S], [3], [tS], [d3], among first grade school children.

Determination Of The Effect Of Air-Entraining Agents On Certain Physical Properties Of Concrete At Early Ages, James Arthur Spilman

Masters Theses

"Air entrained concrete over the past eighteen years has received national recognition as a result of its satisfactory performance in highway concrete pavements and other concrete structures subjected to outside exposure.

Numerous highway departments over the entire United States have laid test slabs made of air entrained concrete. Among those to date are Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Illinois, Missouri and California. The primary purpose in building these test slabs was to investigate their durability or resistance to freezing and thawing and the action of various salts on air entrained concrete. The results of the test …

Investigation Of The Current Distribution On An Antenna In A Waveguide, David J. Freeman

Masters Theses

"In a communication system composed of several networks and transmission systems, it is necessary for all parts of the system to be impedance matched so that medium energy transfer is possible.

One of the recent transmission systems which has been developed is the wave guide. With the advent of the wave guide the communication engineer is immediately faced with the problem of coupling existing systems and networks to his newly found mode of transmission.

Practically this coupling problem reduces to one of feeding radio frequency energy to the wave guide with some conventional transmission line such as a coaxial line. …

Promotion Of Dropwise Condensation By Silicones, Charles Orlando Reed Jr.

Masters Theses

"Within this rather extensive field of study, transfer of heat through fluid films and heat transfer during the condensation process have been the subject of considerable thought and investigation both from a theoretical standpoint and with the aim of collecting data on specific systems to aid the design and construction of equipment in which heat transfer is involved….

The phenomenum of dropwise condensation has not become a common one in industrial practive for a number of reasons, namely, the difficulty in maintaining the activity of the promoter without frequent makeup because of impermanent attachment and volatility, the difficulty in finding …

Thermal Conductivity Of Sodium Chloride Within The Temperature Range 375°K To 637°K, Paul E. Ohlsen

Masters Theses

"The transport of heat in dielectric solids is attributed entirely to lattice waves whereas in metals there is in addition a transfer by the flow of valence electrons. The thermal conductivity of a non-electrical-conductor is limited by a number of scattering processes giving rise to thermal resistances. Scattering results from impurity atoms and from vacancies and dislocations within the crystal structure and from the interaction of the lattice vibrations amongst themselves. Scattering also occurs at the boundaries of the crystal. The thermal resistance of an ideal crystal at low temperatures is due almost entirely to boundary scattering and at high …

The Effect Of Ph On Phase Reversals Of Protein-Stabilized Emulsions, Samuel Arthur Bradford

Masters Theses

"The phase reversal of an emulsion from a system in which oil droplets are dispersed in a water medium to a system in which water droplets are dispersed in oil is dependent upon the interfacial characteristics of the liquids and the emulsifying agent being used, as well as the volume ratio of the two liquid phases. A preliminary investigation at this institution has indicated a possible relationship between phase reversal and the isoelectric point of gelatin used as the emulsifying agent. Since the properties of proteins vary so greatly with the hydrogen ion concentration, particularly near their isoelectric points, research …

Geothermometry At The Balmat No. 2 Mine, New York By The Fes-Zns System, Bruce R. Doe

Masters Theses

"Definition Of The Study. The study consists of an investigation of the variation in the temperature of formation of sphalerite on the 500 and 1500 ft levels of the Balmat zinc deposit at Balmat, New York. A subsidiary investigation was performed on the use of x-ray fluorescence as a means of chemical quantitative analysis. Twelve samples of sphalerite from the 500 ft level and 13 samples from the 1500 ft level were analyzed for atomic percent iron content by measuring Zn/Fe x-ray fluorescent ratios. The x-ray fluorescent ratios were standardized by ''wet" quantitative analysis. The results of the analyses are …

Pre-Cambrian Geology Of Washington County Area, Missouri, Gordon Blair French

Masters Theses

"The Problem.

Washington County, Missouri contains a limited number of outcrops of pre-Cambrian igneous rocks, the majority of which are in the extreme southern part of the county. The known association of lead ore with buried or partially buried pre-Cambrian igneous knobs and ridges in this part of Missouri has led the St. Joseph Lead Company to prospect in areas known to contain these features. In its exploration program, the St. Joseph Lead Company has drilled a number of prospect holes which have encountered other occurrences of pre-Cambrian igneous rocks within the limits of Washington County. This drilling, correlated with …

An Investigation Of The Vocal Phonic Abilities Of Children With Normal Speech And Articulation Disorders, Orville Wilson Wensley

Masters Theses

Introduction

Much of the recent literature dealing with the etiology and treatment of functional articulatory defects, has been concerned with perceptual aspects of the problem. Many clinicians feel that it is in the area of perceptual deficiences that most of the causes of articulatory defects occur, even though research does not support that opinion.

An Exploratory Study Of Differential Diadochokinesis, Marie C. Crickmay

Masters Theses

Introduction

In speech man is forced to use organs, muscles and groups of muscles whose basic function is to serve other purposes, namely, to chew, to suck and swallow, movements which are relatively slow and primitive in execution. But in articulate speech it is necessary to manipulate these same organs and muscles at a faster speech, and with far greater precision than was required of them in the performance of their basic function.
