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 …

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 Survey Of Attitudes Of Nurse Anesthetists And Anesthesiologists, Leah E. Katz

Theses

Having been a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist for over 10 years, functioning both as a practitioner and as an educator, I have become very aware of many problems facing my profession. These problems are frequently discussed by physicians and nurses in the work situation as well as in the political arena. Until this time there has been no formal study of these problems.

In my study of interpersonal conflict related to the field of health care administration, I became aware that one method of solving conflict entailed utilization of opinions of the conflicting groups in order to reach a mutual …

Increasing Visual Detectability In Reduced Exposure Mammography By Contrast Adjustment, Stuart Richer

Theses

The radiobiologic level from an average direct-exposure, fine-grain mammograph approaches 4000 millirads. Copying reduced-exposure mammographs onto high gradient films yields a method of reducing radiation to the patient by a factor of 2. A mathematically based tone-reproduction system was developed in an attempt to produce acceptable facsimile images from a series of reduced-exposure mammographs. Acceptability was tested by radiologists using a sensitometric phantum. The radiologists were asked to quality rank a full exposure mammograph, facsimile mammographs, and a film-screen mammograph in terms of detectability of size and number of calcifications. Based on evidence, there is reason to believe that a …

An Experimental Study Of Semi-Continuous Ph-Parametric Pumping With A Center Feed, John S. Dell'osso

Theses

Parametric pumping represents a new development in separation science. It has attracted considerable attention both because of its novelty and because it permits continuous operation in small equipment with very high separation factors. The basic principle of parametric pumping is to utilize the coupling of periodic changes in equilibrium conditions caused by periodic changes in some intensive variables (temperature, pH, electric field, etc.), and periodic changes in flow direction to separate the components of fluid which flows past a solid adsorbent. Applications of parametric pumping involving the separation of valuable materials such as proteins would be very attractive and profitable …

Theses

This study investigates factors which the author believes could contribute to the determination of the aesthetic and economic viability of producing original fine art prints and artists books on a rotary offset press using direct imaged, uncoated lithographic plates. It also introduces a new medium for the creation and production of these works which was developed during this study. This investigation has been accomplished in the following ways: First, answers were sought to ten questions the author believed any artist considering the use of a rotary offset press as a means of producing these works would want to know. The …

The Influence Of Test Colors On The Color Rendering Index Maximization In A Three Component Spectral Power Distribution, Gregory Miller

Theses

This thesis describes the technique of principle component analysis as applied to determining if a combination of three characteristic vectors would account for an underlying structure in the eight color test objects specified by the CIE for calculation of the color rendering index (CRI). Anticipated was that three vectors would account for 100 % of the variance in the eight test objects; however it was determined that three vectors account for only 96 % of the variance. Since the analysis of the reflectance functions showed no dependence within the functions a 3^3 factorial experiment was conducted. Its purpose was to …

Prediction And Correlation Of The Salt-Effect In Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium, Enrique M. Bekerman

Theses

The feasibility of developing a method of correlation and prediction, for mixtures of two solvents containing a dissolved salt has been studied. The procedure consisted of arriving at the interaction parameters for the three binary systems (solvent 1-solvent 2, solvent 1-salt, solvent 2-salt) and using these to calculate the ternary results. Attempts to generate interaction parameters for the solvent-salt binaries by means of the Wilson equation were unsuccessful, whereas, use of the NRTL equation resulted in a very good fit of the binary data.

In correlating the ternary results, it became necessary to redefine the liquid phase mole fractions and …

Reaction Kinetics For The Synthesis Of Benzyl Benzoate From Benzyl Chloride And The Triethylamine Salt Of Benzoic Acid, Michael A. Kolakowski

Theses

The reaction kinetics for the synthesis of benzyl benzoate from benzyl chloride and the triethylamine salt of benzoic acid has been studied over the temperature range of 70-105°C and a mole ratio of benzyl chloride to triethylamine of 0.5 - 10.0.

A reaction mechanism which is consistent with the experimental data has been derived. The experimental data was analyzed by means of the integral method of analysis. The temperature dependency of the reaction was determined from Arrhenius' Law and the activation energy was calculated to be 15,064 cal/g-mole. An empirical equation which explains the effects of the reactant mole ratio …

Subcontracting By The Petrochemical Engineer-Constructor, Michael Peter Skurla

Theses

An analysis has been made of the methods used by a Petrochemical Engineer-Constructor, who has national labor agreements, in deciding if the construction phase of a project should be done by a subcontract method of construction or be accomplished on a direct hire basis. The petrochemical complex under discussion is considered to be in the $75 million range for the total installed cost including design, engineering, procurement, and construction.

The influence of subcontracting portions of the construction phase by the Engineer-Constructor is reviewed with its impact on: the client; project schedule and cost; local and national labor relations, because of …

Non-Standard Workweek Scheduling Technique Selection, John Alexander Oak

Theses

This thesis presents a description of non-standard work scheduling techniques and a comparison method which enables decision-makers to differentiate between available work-scheduling alternatives with the purpose in mind of selecting the most appropriate and suitable arrangement. The method developed calls for the decision-maker to follow a five-step sequential process to obtain final results. The ingredients necessary to achieve such final results are obtained in a manner similar to that demanded by decision-making-under-uncertainty conditions commonly followed in actual industrial settings.
