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 …

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.

Studies On The Lith Development Of A Silver Iodobromide Emulsion, Larry Zurbrick

Theses

The lithographic development of a silver iodobromide emulsion with thiocyanate substituted for bromide in a lith developer formulation showed differences in behavior with regard to induction time and maximum rate of development at equal levels of normality. An experiment was designed with development time, halide concentration, and exposure level as the variables with maximum rate of development, time to reach 0.20 optical density (induction time), and slope at 0.40 optical density as the response parameters. The maximum rate of development with the developer containing bromide was found to be significantly dependent upon exposure level and not significantly dependent upon bromide …

The Effect Of Photographic Reducers In Autoradiographic Intensification Method For Image Recovery Of Incorrectly Exposed Radiographs, Donald Vachon

Theses

Autoradiographic image intensification methods for recovering the images of underexposed step wedges, resolution targets and radiographs were investigated. The fog level of the intensified image was decreased by treating the film in a subproportional photographic reducer (mixture of potassium ferricyanide and sodium thiosulfate) prior to activation with S-35 thiourea. The fog level of intensified images of a step wedge decreased from a density of 1.32 to .12, the maximum contrast increased from 2.08 to 5.52, the relative speed increase calculated at 0.6 above fog level increased from 3.05 to 4.06 while resolution remained the same at 5.0 lines per millimeter.Radiographs …

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 …

The Role Of Reliability In The Publisher/Supplier Relationship In Textbook Production, Steven Brenner

Theses

Most publishers in the textbook publishing industry experience production delays. If the delays are serious it could result in a postponed publication date.

Most textbook publishers are required to have their new texts reviewed by adoption committies, therefore it is imperative that their books be ready by a certain date. There are many functions involved in the book making process. A delay in any one area may hold things up in other areas, thus compounding the situation. The purpose of this thesis …
