Quality Aspects Of Holographic Image Deblurring, Robert Kalita, Lawrence White

Theses

The process of holographic image enhancement was investigated with respect to image quality. A maximum improvement in MTF of 60% was achieved. The process itself was found difficult due to the critical natures of many of its steps. The theory of image enhancement by optical processing is explained in detail and the reasons for using a holographic filter are discussed.

Electron Microscope Investigation Of Silver Halide Crystals, R. David Williams

Theses

This paper describes two methods utilizing the transmission electron microscope for studying the structural characteristics of photographic silver halide grains: (1) direct observation and subsequent determination of the grain size-frequency distribution for a given emulsion and (2) the carbon replica technique for studying the external structure of the grains. Other uses of the electron microscope in photographic research that could be applied at R.I.T. are briefly discussed.

The Effect Of Silicic Acid In The Fountain Solution, Kayode Ajibade

Theses

Silicic acid is a water soluble colloidal resin which can be obtained commercially. The effect of silicic acid as a desensitizer in fountain solution was studied. The resin of this colloidal solution was compared to gum arabic solution. The study included the investigation of the physical properties of the solution at different concentrations as well as press performance. Comparisons were drawn regarding wettability, viscosity, surface tension, dot size change, minimum dampening rate to clean-up the non-image areas, resolution, resistance to scum, blinding of image areas, rate of de-inking over- run non-image areas, performance distinction between lithium silicate and sodium silicate, …

Punctuation Frequency In Selected American Daily Newspapers, Andrew Malcolm

Theses

American daily newspapers present millions of punctuated sentences to the public, yet--after an extensive search of literature for similar studies--no comprehensive study of punctuation frequency seems to have been made before this study. It is hypothesized (1) that punctuation appears at predictable rates in the main news section of American daily newspapers, (2) that statistically significant differences exist in punctuation frequency between each of five selected newspapers and--by group--between those of large and small cities, and (3) that statistically significant differences exist in punctuation frequency between 1976, 1966, 1956 and 1946. Five newspapers were selected for the study: The New …

Frederic W. Goudy Correspondence 1935-1946, Anne Thomen

Theses

American printing of the late nineteenth century was crude and commercial in the worst sense. The ideals and vitality that William Morris, Emery Walker, C. H. St. John Hornby, Charles Ricketts, T.J. Cobden-Sanderson and others injected into English printing during the last decades of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth were known to relatively few Americans. One of those few Americans was Frederic W. Goudy, March 8, 1865--May 11, 1947. Paul Johnston in an article for the Fleuron (No. VII, 1930, p. 191A) wrote, "It was the part of Frederic W. Goudy to help the general printer in America …

Correlation Study Between Subjective And Objective Scene Classifications, Craig Campbell

Theses

In addition to the quality of an original (transparency or reflection) preferred halftone reproduction is also dependent on scene classification. That is, how the tones of the original are rendered. If the majority of the picture area contains light tones, it is referred to as a high key image. Should the majority of picture area be confined to dark tones, it is referred to as a low key image. When the picture area is composed of the entire tone scale (white, grays, and black), it is referred to as a normal key image. The problem of how to objectively classify …

A Static Stress Analysis Of The Glass Metal Truss-Type Column Of The Van De Graaff Accelerator, Rudolf Prechter

Theses

A static stress analysis of the glass-metal truss type bridge of a Van de Graaff Accelerator is presented. The solutions are first computed using conventional methods such as method of joints and the method of virtual work. Secondly, the solutions are found using a computer program, SAP IV, which is a structural analysis program for static and dynamic response of linear systems. The solutions are then compared to each other and appropriate conclusions are presented.

"Branching From Within": A Program For Persons With Physical Disabilities, Jenny Ransom

Theses

"Branching From Within" is a counseling and rehabilitation program designed to support individuals with physical disabilities through an integrated therapeutic approach. Developed by Jenny Ransom and Nancy Belohlavek as part of their graduate studies at Lindenwood Colleges, the program combines counseling, guided imagery, relaxation training, and altered states of consciousness techniques to help clients adjust to their disabilities, enhance self-confidence, and improve overall well-being.

The thesis details the program’s development, administration, and research findings, emphasizing its holistic approach to therapy. Clients participated in structured sessions incorporating behavioral self-monitoring, journaling, and relaxation techniques, showing improvements in emotional resilience, pain management, and …

Modulation Of Cyclic Amp Phosphodiesterase, Gary Fouquet

Theses

Modulation of kidney cyclic AMP pdase by diuretics and antihypertensives was studied. It was found that spironolactone activates pdase and that furosemide, ethacrynic acid, triameterine , quinethazone, metolazone, chlorothiazide, propranolol and hydralazine, inhibit pdase. The relative tissue specificity (medulla or cortex) for some of the compounds appears to be in agreement with the proposed sites of drug action via pharmocological mechanisms which do not involve Inter action with cAMP pdase . The specific activity of pdase in the medulla was found to be double that in the cortex. Pdase was found to be a complex enzyme with at least two …

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.

The Design Of Fail-Safe Logic, Harvey Becker

Theses

This paper examines the behavior of digital logic families, specifically identifying the properties and characteristics of digital fail-safe logic. Fail-safe digital design is examined utilizing classical logic and semiconductor theory. The effects of failures internal to the structure of digital integrated circuits are analyzed and a discussion of pertinent logic design is presented. The techniques to detect all types of multiple failure modes are examined. With these results, a method of design for fail-safe logic is presented and analyzed.

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, …
