A Method For The Immobilization Of Xanthine Oxidase In Ca-Alginate Membranes To Measure Hypoxanthine Concentration In Order To Assess Flesh Food Quality, Hamad A. Al-Awfy Jan 1986

A Method For The Immobilization Of Xanthine Oxidase In Ca-Alginate Membranes To Measure Hypoxanthine Concentration In Order To Assess Flesh Food Quality, Hamad A. Al-Awfy

Open Access Dissertations

The consumer's acceptance of food quality is an important factor, especially in Third World Countries which import much of their food. Since flesh food (meat, fish) is shipped to those countries frozen or in cold storage, it is susceptible to temperature fluctuations during shipment, resulting in deterioration of the meat and unacceptable quality. Therefore an acceptable procedure to assess flesh food quality is necessary to protect the consumer and trader and to aid in the manufacture of high quality food products.

Hypoxanthine concentration in flesh food has been a useful index for the assessment of freshness. Therefore, it was selected …

Prediction Of Specific Priority Organics Adsoption On Activated Carbon In Complex Background Mixtures, Eid Abdelmuti Alkhatib Jan 1986

Prediction Of Specific Priority Organics Adsoption On Activated Carbon In Complex Background Mixtures, Eid Abdelmuti Alkhatib

Open Access Dissertations

A study was conducted to investigate carbon adsorption of specific priority pollutants, (2,4 Dimethylphenol, Naphthalene, Fluorene, Pyrene, Bis(2-ethylhexyl phthalate) in a complex mixture background, using laboratory and pilot scale reactors for data generation, and various numerical computer models for data evaluation and subsequent prediction. Prediction of adsorption using intra-particle diffusion resistance (surface model and combined surface and pore diffusion model) was more successful using the combined surface and pore diffusion model than by using the surface model alone. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was selected as a complex mixture surrogate to evaluate any competitive effect due to individual components in the …


Rehabilitation And Psychological Evaluations Of Claimants Of Portuguese And Puerto Rican Background, Rui R. Rodrigues Jan 1986

Rehabilitation And Psychological Evaluations Of Claimants Of Portuguese And Puerto Rican Background, Rui R. Rodrigues

Open Access Dissertations

This study outlines specific steps for guiding bilingual psychologists in the administration of psychological testing instruments. The study delineates the discrimination of subtle behavioral responses, the identification of various forms of low motivation, evasiveness, and malingering during the assessment procedure.

One hundred disability immigrant claimants of Portuguese and Puerto Rican background took part in this study. Data on file from their psychological reports was analyzed and two hypotheses were tested. The findings indicate that there is a strong relationship between the subjects' cognitive functioning, their adaptive behavior, and academic achievement in their native countries. There was also a significant relationship …


Biological And Environmental Influences On The Cognitive Development Of Children With Developmental Disabilities, Ruth H. Schennum Jan 1986

Biological And Environmental Influences On The Cognitive Development Of Children With Developmental Disabilities, Ruth H. Schennum

Open Access Dissertations

The biological and environmental influences on sensorimotor/cognitive development were studied. Participants were 100 children with developmental disabilities between the ages of 2 and 28 months and their families. Scores from the Rochester Research Obstetric Scale (ROS), Pediatric Complications Scale (PdCS), and Home Observation for the Measurement of the Environment (HOME) were used as independent variables in a multiple regression analysis. The dependent variable was the Mental Development Index (MDI) from the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. Results indicate there is a significant, but moderate relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Very little overlap was found among the independent variables. …

The Relative Contribution Of Social/Cognitive Processes To Social Competence, Diane Marques Jan 1986

The Relative Contribution Of Social/Cognitive Processes To Social Competence, Diane Marques

Open Access Dissertations

In the present study, the relationship of linguistic achievement, social problem-solving and empathy to social competence as validated by teachers, peers and self was explored. It was hypothesized that these three developmental processes would be significant predictors of social competence, and that their relative orders of contribution would differ across competence indicators. The subjects in this study were 102 third grade students. After parental consents were obtained, five pencil and paper measures were administered to the students using a group testing format in two sessions. These measures examined language achievement, social problem-solving, empathy, a peer rating of other classmates and …
