Guidelines To The Implementation Of Printing Vocational Schools In Nigeria, Samuel Bademosi Adesorioye

Theses

This study is concerned with the implementation of printing vocational high schools in Nigeria. It has been too long a wait for the implementation of vocational schools in printing. The methodology of this study is based on the information gathered through personal interviews. The head of the schools teaching printing, the production manager, or the president or vice president of printing companies in both New York City and Rochester responded to the questions that appear in appendices C and D. For details see Tables 1 through 10. Also library research was employed to obtain background information on the American voca …

Do Structured Preschool Programs Enhance A Child's Learning Potential In Kindergarten?, Jacqueline Ordelheide

Theses

This paper concentrates on whether structured preschool programs enhance a child's learning potential in kindergarten. Through research this writer will attempt to find out if the child who attends a structured preschool program will score significantly higher on standardized readiness tests than t hose who have only training by parents in the home.

Included in this paper the researcher has a historical review of preschool education, preschool information of structured and unstructured curriculum, parental involvement in preschools, various researchers' opinions of preschool education, and the pro and con of preschool education.

The method used to determine if children who have …

The Use Of The Calculator In The Junior High Mathematics Curriculum, Janice Warner

Theses

This study explores the impact of handheld calculator use on student achievement in middle school mathematics, with a focus on seventh-grade instruction in decimal algorithms. Conducted at Wentzville Junior High School, the research involved a three-week instructional unit on decimals taught to two groups of seventh-grade students—one using calculators and the other employing traditional paper-and-pencil methods. Pretests and posttests were administered to measure student performance, while classroom observations and teacher feedback were used to assess engagement and problem-solving strategies.

The findings indicate that the use of calculators improved student accuracy and efficiency in computation without diminishing conceptual understanding. Students with …

Life-Enhancement With Art Therapy For The Institutionalized Aged, Lorraine H. Briggs

Theses

The aging of the populace is causing Americans to consider the ways in which education, medicine, housing, and leisure will be affected by this rapid growth . In this paper I will review some of the literature on aging that delineates the individual differences in physical and mental characteristics of the old . Some of the more prominent theories of the aging process will be presented briefly, with an examination of physical and psychological changes that affect the older person's ability to cope with an environment characterized by multiple loss, both physical and emotional. Myths about how age influences the …

Identifying The Gifted And Talented Students In The Primary Grades, Janice M. Holtmeyer

Theses

This researcher has been interested in the gifted student for some time and has always felt a little uneasy about the fact that so many times these students become bored with school. The work is too easy and there is no challenge for them. So the purpose in doing this study was to find answers to some questions such as : 1 ) Who are the gifted? 2) How do you identify these students? 3) In what kind of program should a gifted student be placed? and 4) Will the student benefit from an individualized program? These questions are answered …

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 …

Agn03 And Kbr Reagent Concentrations' Effect On Double-Jet Emulsion Grain Size Dispersity, Daniel D. Siems

Theses

Four levels of AgN03 and KBr reagent concentrations between 0.1N and 1.0N were used to study the effect of changing reagent concentration on the grain size dispersity of a primitive AgBr double-jet emulsion. The emulsions were precipitated in a continuous flow crystalizer at a constant pAg of 8.5 within the crystalizer. Emulsion samples were collected at 5 minute intervals during the make from the crystalizer and used to obtain grain size frequency distribution data. Through the use of multivariate analysis of variance, it was concluded with 95% confidence that AgNOo and KBr reagent concentrations ranging from 0.1N to 1 .ON …

Structural Aesthetics In Furniture Design, James Clark

Theses

The purpose of my thesis will be to incorporate structural members as aesthetic elements in furniture design. In architecture, structure is a major design concern. As a result of the interrelationship between these disciplines, I will apply architectural principles to furniture design. In my thesis I propose to expose and use structure for defining form. More specifically I plan to utilize structure in ways that reveal its own beauty through its functional purpose. I plan to explore this idea by producing as many pieces as possible during the year of my thesis work. Each piece done will involve techniques and …

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. Written and performed by Debra Lynne Wicks as part of her Master of Fine Arts degree at Lindenwood Colleges, the project documents her journey from casting to final performance. The study begins with a literary and theatrical analysis of McCullers’ novel and its adaptation to the stage, focusing particularly on the challenges posed by the lyrical and introspective nature of the text.

Central to the thesis is Wicks’s effort to …

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 …
