Signage System For Abuja Internation Airport, Abuja Republic Of Nigeria, Hilary G. Marquis

Theses

The purpose of my thesis is to design a signage system for my country's new capital city international airport now under construction at Abuja. Although this project is not a professional contract, I have chosen this topic because of the almost true-to-life experience it has afforded me in working closely with government agencies. It is hoped that this contact will help government managers and planners understand that large construction projects need well thought-out environmental graphics programs. This signage system is designed specifically to orient passen gers from the point of entry on the airport premises to their leaving through the …

Phototherapy--A Phenomenologically Based Approach To Psychological Assessment, Sheila Culkin

Theses

In this project the use of phototherapy in the psychological assessment process was proposed and explored. The conceptual roots for the phototherapy assessment used here can be found in phenomenological psychological literature, in the history and exploration of photography as an expressive art medium, and in the work of social scientists researching the use of photography in human study. The study investigates whether the photography, its content as well as its formal elements, i.e. camera angle, framing, perspective, lights and darks, distance of the subject from photographer, can reflect the experience and perception of the photographer. It has as its …

The Creation Of Berenice Sadie Brown In The Member Of The Wedding, Debra Lynne Wicks

Theses

This thesis explores the creative and interpretive process of bringing the character Berenice Sadie Brown to life in a stage production of The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers.

Ultrasonic Flaw Detection, Wayne Buchar

Theses

An ultrasonic microscope was designed and constructed to detect surface flaw defects on materials which contain natural discontinuities. The application of this flaw detection system to via-fill defects of single layer multiple layer ceramic substrates was considered. The microscope was evaluated for its depth sensitivity and resolution capabilities. The results of the experiment are that the ultrasonic system has repeatable depth sensitivities of better than ten microns, and resolution capabilities on the order of 3.3 cycles per millimeter. The application of the flaw detector to ceramic substrate via-fill defect inspection was verified.

Psychophysics Of The Measurement Of The Distance Between Two Negative Ticks, Two Positive Ticks, And Two Edges, Alan Coble

Theses

The research that has been done deals with the increase in the precision of measurement under low magnification. There were four factors used in the field of view of a microscope to attempt an increase in precision. The factors were 10X and 20X magnifications, light intensities, and Kodak Wratten filters Nos. 58 and 45A. The precision of measurement was increased in the positive ticks and edges with factors other than high magnification.

Halftone Dot Method For Image Evaluation Of High-Resolution Films Applied To Vesicular Film, Mark Gulden

Theses

A feasible technique for deriving the spread function and modulation transfer function of a vesicular film has been determined. This technique is based on a method described by R. Byer which does not require the use of a microdensitometer, but only that of a "macro" densitometer. The method utilizes the fact that a halftone dot will change in size as a function of exposure. The spread function of the vesicular film was approximated with a mathematical model. The results, although favorable in many ways, are not conclusive. Some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with this technique as applied to …

Design, Construction, And Verification Of A Photographic Color Paper Sensitometer, Daniel Marc Denkin

Theses

The thesis problem is to produce a sensitometer to expose photographic color paper to be used as control strips in a photographic color paper process. This problem involves designing, constructing, and verifying the sensitometer. Designing the sensitometer is done by looking at different methods of exposing each dye layer of a photographic color paper. These methods include: fiber optics or light guides, light integrating devices, and projection systems. The method which was chosen for this experiment is the projection system. After the method had been decided upon, a lamp model will be calculated using the spectral sensitivity curve of a …

A Microprocessor Based Control System For An Electric Vehicle, Ronald C. Moffatt

Theses

The control system described in this thesis is a low cost system designed to control the speed of an electric vehicle by adjusting the speed of a compound wound DC motor. The speed control method developed in this system is a combination of battery tapping, for control of the armature voltage, and pulse width modulation for field control; both generated by a microprocessor. Using a microprocessor, the control system is readily adaptable to a variety of motor voltages and motor control techniques by modifying the internal firmware of the processor. Overcurrent protection is included to prolong battery and motor life. …

A Study On The Improvement Of Rop Newspaper Color Through Modification Of The Reproductive Curve To Lighten The Overall Reproduction, Ronald Assoian

Theses

Most run on paper offset newspapers have not shown the capability of producing color reproductions without having the prints subject to a darkening or a muddy look. This problem is basically caused by the absorbency of the newsprint. Since the newsprint is so absorbent, the ink can only be printed to a low solid ink density and coarse screens must be used so the dots do not fill-in. To eliminate this problem, it is believed that if the midtones are reduced on the gray scale during the separation process, and then the wanted colors' dot areas are restored to their …

Personal Responsibility In The Medical Treatment Of Cancer: The Role Of Counseling And Patient Understanding Of The Dynamics Of Disease, Evelyn Waterman

Theses

This thesis explores the role of personal responsibility, counseling, and holistic understanding in the medical treatment of cancer. Moving beyond the traditional medical model that focuses solely on physical symptoms and treatment modalities, the study emphasizes the psychosomatic dimensions of cancer—highlighting the interconnections between mind, body, spirit, and emotions in disease development and healing.

Using a personal case study methodology, the author recounts her own experience with a cancer diagnosis, illustrating how counseling became a transformative tool in confronting psychological and relational stressors that contributed to her physical symptoms. Through this journey, she argues for a redefinition of the "doctor-patient …

Control Of A Four-Color Lithographic Press By Monitoring The Hue Consistency Of The Reproduction With A Densitometer, Chikashi Hashimoto

Theses

The purpose of this study was to establish a reliable control method to maintain the visual hue consistency of "critical colors" on a four-color lithographic press. The term "critical colors" indicates those colors which are deemed by the customer or pressman to be important for a particular job and will require special attention to maintain their hue consistency. It was hypothesized that a densitometer, which automatically computes hue error and grayness using the Preucil method, could be used to measure critical colors and maintain their computed hue consistency. In order to analyze the effect of the control method monitoring hue …

Electric Field Enhancement Of Efficiency In Autoradiographic Exposures, Harvey Smith

Theses

An external electric field was applied during autoradiographic exposures in an attempt to influence the path length and trajectory of image forming beta particles. Various techniques were employed to maximize the electric field applied. No evidence was found for increases in efficiency of image formation within the receiving emulsion, up to a field strength of 7 x 10 volts/cm.

Which Therapy?: An Analysis Of Value Judgments In Psychotherapy, David Shaw

Theses

• The Problem: The author addresses the lack of systematic guidance for laypersons in selecting a psychotherapy model that aligns with their individual lifestyle, personality, and values. 

• The Method: The study utilizes a comparative analysis of Moral, Illness, Psychoanalytic, Behavioral/Learning, and Existential/Humanistic perspectives, incorporating literature from theorists like Freud, Rogers, and Wolpe alongside practicum experience at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute and the Growth Art Therapy Program.

• Qualitative Finding: The analysis determines that effective therapy depends on the compatibility between the client's personal characteristics and the therapist's theoretical orientation, as evidenced by the author's observation that theoretically conflicting therapies can both be …
