Attitudes Of Mid-Life Mothers Toward Their Daughters' Adolescence, Terri Sweig

Theses

This paper discusses the ways in which mid-life mothers reflected their attitudes toward the emerging womanhood of their adolescent daughters through art work. It concerns natural and normal developmental stresses which occur as mothers and daughters pass through difficult life stages somewhat simultaneously. A non-clinical group of four mothers between 38 and 44-years old with daughters between 14 and 17-years old responded to five specifically designed drawing tasks derived from literature on mid-life and mothers and daughters. Information was elicited regarding each mother's relationship to her own mother, the negotiation of her own adolescence, and her present self-concept. Discussion of …

The Effect Of Screen Ruling On The Saturation Of Pastel Gamut Colors, John T. Chittick

Theses

Reproduction of pastel colors by offset lithography produces images that have less color saturation than their continuous tone counterparts. This problem is primarily attributable to the halftone structure which approximates continuous tone pastels with large amounts of white paper and small amounts of chromatic ink. This thesis investigates the effect of screen frequency upon pastel color saturation. Single and two color overprint tints of nominal five, 10, and 15 percent printing dot areas were printed in 85, 100, 120, 133, 150, and 200 lines screen rulings. The reflectances of these colors were measured with a colorimeter and converted to CIEL*a*b* …

Kinetics Of Rehalogenation Bleaches, Kenneth A. Harrison

Theses

A study was made to determine if a correlation existed between the silver density at 318 nm and the actual amount of silver present in photographic film. Based on twenty (20) samples of bleached and unbleached film, a linear correlation was found, for specific film/ developer combinations, with a correlation coefficient in excess of 0.99. The above correlation was then used to evaluate the bleaching kinetics of several rehalogenation type bleaches. It was postulated that there is a charge barrier effect between the photographic gelatin and the positively charged oxidizing agent in the bleaches. This was caused by the pH …

Spatial Frequency Processing In The Human Visual System: A Study Of Black Versus White, Robert Seyfert

Theses

The human visual system responses to resolution targets whose small area spatial content has been altered from white to black has been investigated. Modified tri-bar targets were presented to observers on a rear projection screen at constant average luminance and varying levels of contrast. Each observer was asked to determine if he could see the target and if the target had been modified. Responses indicate that there is no difference in the visibility of targets in which small areas have been changed to white or black but whose spatial frequency content is the same.

Light Scattering In Unprocessed Photographic Emulsions, Jo S. Kirkenaer

Theses

A method is proposed to measure scattering characteristics of non-processed photographic emulsions without using expensive or complicated computer processing techniques. A photo goniometer was assembled from a standard spectrometer, a lightsource and a photodiode. Film samples were measured both in air and in an index matching liquid comparing samples of two main categories, continuous tone pictorial emulsions and graphic arts copyfilms. It was learned that the measurements separated the samples into the above mentioned categories based on response variables such as scattergram and its corresponding Fourier Transform. This method is proposed as a tool in emulsion design engineering or quality …

Images In Glass, Douglas Anderson

Theses

The nature of this thesis is to mate creative glass working and imaginative illustration. I intend to use a fictional manuscript and interpret its aesthetic meaning in glass. The glass will take a form similar to painting and drawing creating compositions with emotional intensity- I will use, as needed, all available techniques known to me in glass technology to compose these illustrations. I will present this partnership of glass and illustration in a readable format such as a book.

Instituting Management Changes Through Decentralized Budgeting In A Public Mental Health Setting, Wesley E. Wilber

Theses

This study examines the adoption and implementation of a decentralized budgeting model within a public mental‑health institution, focusing on the administrative, financial, and organizational consequences of shifting from a centrally controlled budget framework toward local unit responsibility. Drawing on archival records, budget data, and administrative narratives from the institution’s transition period, the analysis highlights how decentralization altered decision‑making dynamics, cost behaviour, service orientation, and internal accountability structures. The decentralization initiative empowered individual units by giving them budgetary control over expenditures previously managed at the centralized level, thereby increasing their autonomy over staffing, program purchases, and resource reallocation. This shift brought …

Influence Of First Developer Solvent Levels On The Information Storage Capacity Of Negative And Reversal Images, Wendy R. Harrison

Theses

Silver halide solvents are commonly used in the first developer of a reversal process to obtain brighter highlights and a higher effective speed. An investigation was carried out to determine the effect of a low and high level of solvent on the sensitometric char acteristics as well as the covering power, granularity, modulation transfer function (MTF) and the information storage capacity of Plus-X reversal film 7276. The investigation was designed such that the only variable in the systems studied was the first developer. D-67, i.e., D-19 containing two grams liter^-1 of potassium thiocyanate, was chosen as the high solvent first …

The Effects Of Concurrent Photon Amplification Utilizing An Infrared Latensification Source, Mitchell D. Feather

Theses

An investigation was conducted regarding the effects of varying supplementary exposure on High eSpeed Infrared Film. In addition, CPA was evaluated in comparison to Hypersensitization and Latensification. The results were that CPA is superadditive with respect to both density and exposure, the maximum effect being noted in the toe of the characteristic curve. Furthermore, Hypersensitization and Latensification , with dark intervals up to five seconds, displayed efficiency that was not significantly different from CPA. It was also determined that the spectral distribution of the imaging source does not affect the efficiency of CPA. Corroboration of C&C Research's speed increase claims …

Touching In The Psychotherapeutic Encounter, Kim Glaser Selbert

Theses

This thesis explores the role of physical touch as an adjunct to psychotherapy, analyzing both its therapeutic benefits and potential risks. Touch, defined in this study as physical contact including handshakes, touches on the arm or shoulder, hugs, kisses, and massage, is considered a fundamental human need and communication tool that extends across cultures and species. Drawing from psychological literature, developmental research, and the history of therapeutic practice, the study traces how touch has evolved in psychotherapy—from pre-Freudian physical treatments to Freud's rejection of touch in favor of neutrality, and to contemporary views that embrace limited, intentional touch as therapeutic. …

Modification Of An Automatic Photographic Exposure System, To Correct For Light Source Color-Temperature Variation, Jay Agular

Theses

An attempt was made to correct the spectral sensitivity of a silicon photodiode, by using optical filters, to match the spectral sensitivity of Kodalith ortho film, type 3, 2556, and Kodalith pan film, 2568, respectively. The correction would allow the diode to be used with a light-integrator and light source of varying spectral power distribution, when these films are used. A Corning 978 2 blue/green filter was used for the ortho film and an O.C.L.I. detector trimmer, was used for the pan film. Through experimentation and statistical analysis, it was found that there was 100% correction of the photodiode spectral …
