Movement Education In The Elementary School, Ruth Ann Meyer

Theses

"Movement Education in the Elementary School" by Linda Ann Meyer (1971), emphasizes the importance of integrating movement education into elementary school curriculums. Meyer identifies three key areas of movement education: basic movement, sport, and dance. These components are essential for a child's physical development and self-concept.

Meyer draws from the philosophies of Eleanor Metheny and others, explaining that movement is not merely physical activity but also a meaningful experience involving cognitive, emotional, and creative engagement. Basic movement education serves as the foundation, focusing on body and spatial awareness, and the development of locomotive and axial movements. Sport education emphasizes physical …

Sharpness Ratings Of A Complete Imaging System, David Blanchard

Theses

In a complete imaging system, consisting of a camera and a camera lens, four black and white films, an enlarger, a print made from each film and a number of observers, the resultant images were judged subjectively. The system was also evaluated by four acutance models. When the acutance ratings were compared with the sharpness ratings there was not a significant correlation between the two ratings. The author believes that there would be a better correlation between the two ratings if the acutance models were used under the same conditiobs and the same constants as they were formulated under.

Self-Portrait As A Measure Of Self Perception, Susan Lamantia O'Connor

Theses

This thesis, "Self-Portrait as a Measure of Self-Perception" by Susan LaMantia O'Connor, explores how self-portraiture can serve as a therapeutic tool for understanding self-perception. Conducted with police officers as subjects, the study employs an art therapy exercise involving three self-portraits: one of the self, one with the primary family, and one with a significant individual. Each drawing provides insight into how participants perceive themselves, their relationships, and their emotions. The exercise allows for a departure from traditional verbal assessments, aiming to reveal deeper psychological insights through visual expression. Key elements analyzed include figure stance, line quality, motion, color, and detail, …

The Spiritual Dimensions Of Nursing Care, Shirley H. Wipfler

Theses

The Spiritual Dimensions of Nursing Care by Shirley H. Wipfler explores the often-overlooked role of spirituality in holistic patient care. Submitted as a Master’s thesis to Lindenwood Colleges in 1977, the work addresses a critical gap in conventional medical and nursing practices, emphasizing that true healing must consider not only the body and mind but also the spirit. Wipfler argues that the spiritual needs of patients are frequently neglected, typically relegated to clergy, and rarely integrated into treatment plans.

The thesis is structured into three main parts. The first explores the characteristics, functions, and laws of the human spirit, referencing …

A Digital Signal Processing System Developed For The Optimal Use Of High Density Magnetic Storage Media, Victor Hernandez

Theses

High density data recording has traditionally been an essential factor in the development of communication and transmission systems. However, recently more sophisticated applications, including video recording, have necessitated refinements of this technology. This study concentrates on the signal processing techniques used to inhance the packing density of stored data. A comparison of the spectral mapping characteristics of different codes illustrates that the need for equalization can be eliminated and that significant bandwidth reduction can be achieved. Secondly, consideration is given to the deleterious effects of flutter, its associated effects on high density data recording, and the constraints imposed on the …

Quantitative Analysis Of Phenidone And Derivatives In Photographic Developing Solutions, Charles Augello

Theses

Spectrophotometric analysis and visual titration methods have been applied to the determination of Phenidone, its 4-methyl and 4, 4-dimsthyl derivatives, in photographic developers. The visual titration method is modified to allow for variation due to operator technique. Spectrophotometric methods are utilized for the identification of the Phenidone derivative in the Kodak process E-6 first developer. The derivative is believed to be Dimezome at 0.3 g/l.

The Quantitative Identification Of E-6 Chemical Processing Errors, Peter Buck, Donald Betz

Theses

This thesis contains descriptions of current methods of identifying chemical processing errors, followed by a description of a proposed method for quantitatively identifying chemical processing errors. The goal of this research is to determine the relationships between chemical deviations in the first developer of Kodak Color Reversal Process E-6 and the resulting changes in the sensitometric parameters of Kodak film type Ektachrome 64 Professional (Daylight). These relationships are presented in graphical form in a section of this thesis entitled "Results and Conclusions".

An Analysis Of Kirlian Electrophotography, Robert Suba

Theses

The objective of this research effort was to investigate the process of Kirlian electrophotography with respect to the physical processes which occur during the exposure, and the electrical parameters of the exposing device. This project was not intended to discuss what possible parapsychological phenomina are revealed by Kirlian electrophotography, or it's possible applications. The following is a list of conclusions which were drawn from the experimentation. 1) The Kirlian image is a result of a complex process known as field emission of conducting objects under an applied high voltage AC field. Furthermore, it is the belief of the author that …
