A Classroom Experience With Self-Image Enhancement As A Factor In Academic Achievement, Katherine Kellems Moore

Theses

A Classroom Experience with Self-Image Enhancement as a Factor in Academic Achievement, by Katherine Kellems Moore, investigates the connection between self-image enhancement and academic achievement in junior high students. The study was conducted with 131 randomly selected English I students in a suburban St. Louis school. Moore hypothesized that students who experienced an improvement in self-image would show corresponding gains in academic performance. Over the course of the 20-week study, students participated in personal growth activities designed to enhance self-awareness and clarify values.

The research utilized both formal academic pre/post-tests and self-reporting tools, including the Perception of Values Inventory, …

Experimenting With Varied Learning Environments In A Traditional Setting, Linda Stanford

Theses

This study, titled "Experimenting with Varied Learning Environments in a Traditional Setting," explores the integration of alternative and open classroom strategies within a conventional fourth-grade classroom in suburban St. Charles, Missouri. Conducted by Linda Stanford in partial fulfillment of her Master of Arts degree at Lindenwood College in 1976, the research investigates how varied learning environments—such as learning centers, student choice activities, and peer teaching—affect student attitudes toward learning, the teacher, and their own learning styles.

The study implemented five experimental activities: Reading Choices, a Language Block with multiple learning stations, Math Games taught to younger students, thematic learning centers …

Upon his return to California, Couts married Elizabeth B. Clemens. A son, Cave Johnson Couts, III, …

Control System For Hydraulic Hybrid Propulsion System, Vratislav Michal

Theses

A control system for a Hydraulic Hybrid Propulsion System (HHPS) is proposed and specified. Performance of the control system is evaluated by means of digital computer simulation of the total propulsion system. In order to accomplish this, analytical models of HHPS components are developed. The simulation consists of a city bus negotiating a typical driving cycle developed for this purpose on the basis of actual city bus cycle data. Performance of the control system is found to be satisfactory in all phases of driving cycle with the exception of transition from acceleration to cruise.

A Comparison Of The Effects Of Viscous And Immersion Processing On Small Image Sizes In Originals And Duplicates, James Fahnestock

Theses

A test target with three two bar groups was designed around the DIM microfilm standards. It was produced photographically on a litho film. This target v/as used to discover the factors significant in determining small image sizes and spacings in a microfilm. A 16 mm film holder was designed and built to facilitate the microfilm imaging process. Second and third generation images were made using a liquid-gated contact printing prodedure. It was found that the optical image size an the film at the time of exposure, the image generation, and the optical image size and the density interaction were significant …

Adsorption On Activated Flyash, John William Kubarewicz

Theses

An experimental study was undertaken to compare the adsorptive characteristics of activated carbon, flyash, and activated flyash. Due to the contradictory evidence available in the literature, emphasis was placed on the effect of acid activation on the physical properties of the adsorbent. The experiment consisted of two parts; batch isotherm studies, and continuous column operations. An artificial sewage composed of a mixture of deionized water and beef broth was used as the adsorbate. This solution was prepared daily and exerted a COD of 225 ± 30 mg/l. Flyash activation was found to increase the degree of adsorption indirectly rather than …

Identification Thresholds Of The Human Visual System For An Alphanumeric Resolution Test Object, Mark Bobb

Theses

Many investigations of the detection threshold of the human visual system have been conducted, and a few recognition threshold studies can be found, however no identification threshold data are available. This paper documents research on the observer's identification threshold for an alphanumeric resolution test object presented at various average luminance levels, contrasts, and contrast polarities. These factors affected the identification threshold in a similar way to the effects they exert on the observer's detection and recognition thresholds; the test object contrast being the most significant factor. Direct numerical comparisons between the various thresholds were not possible due to the large …

The Effect Of Targets Having Selected Line Width To Space Width Ratios On Spurious Resolution And Resolving Power, Milner Noble

Theses

Six radial targets having different line width to space width ratios were made. The effect of the ratios on the phenomena of spurious resolution and resolving power was studied on a fine grain and a coarse grain film. Spurious resolution patterns were undetectable when the dark space exceeded five times the width of the bright line. Resolving power values reached their maximum when the target contained lines that were one-fifth the width of the dark spaces between them.

Separation Of Isomers Via Thermal Parametric Pumping, Vincent J. D'Emidio

Theses

Continuous and semicontinuous thermal parametric pumps for separating isomers were experimentally investigated using the model system glucose-fructose-water on a cation exchange resin adsorbent. A comparison was made between the experimental data and the calculated results by a method based on an equilibrium theory. The method invokes the assumptions that a multicomponent mixture contains a series of pseudo binary systems. Each binary system consists of one of the solutes as one component and the common inert solvent as the other component. It has been shown that under certain conditions, the pump with feed at the enriched end has the capacity for …

A Comparison Of The Properties Of Conventional Offset Ink And Ultraviolet Ink, Vanchai Sirichana

Theses

Some of the advantageous characteristics of ultra violet ink are said to be the absence of pollution and reasonable energy consumption as well as rapid drying (curing). Little is published about physical properties or print quality. Printers require information in this regard because the reports which are presently available are not clear and lack in detail. If the printability of UV inks were equal to that of conventional offset ink, this ink would be close to an ideal ink. This work was under taken so as to compare the properties of ultraviolet ink with conventional offset ink. The inks selected …

A Quantitative Examination Of A Particular Set Of Process Inks To Determine The Effect Of Color Sequence On The Ink's Hue And Saturation Characteristics, Philip Giammatteo

Theses

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a proper press sequence for a specific set of process inks on a specified type of paper. In the past, the literature on this subject has been of a qualitative and generalized nature. This study attempts to put the matter on a quantative basis under strict controls. A standard set of process proofing inks for web offset are chosen to be printed onto a coated type of offset paper by an IGT Printability Tester. Various techniques are devised for printing solid strips of the inks with minimum density variation …

An Integrated Approach For The Design Of A New Braille Printing System, Albert Barzilai

Theses

The braille production system is a slow and antiquated process. The end product is expensive, heavy, and bulky. A new, more efficient braille production system was designed, using computerized transcription, thermographic printing, and automated binding and finishing. Computerized transcription programs are readily available from a variety of sources; automated binding and finishing is a common feature of modern printing technology. A series of experiments was performed to evaluate the physical qualities of the braille cells produced by thermography. An internal tearing resistance test and machinability test were also performed to study the effect of heat on the paper stock. The …

The Relationship Between The Relative Legibility Of Textual Material And Resolving Power In A Microphotographic System, John Compton

Theses

The application of microphotographic methods for the processing and storage of information has grown steadily during the last two decades. The microphotographic system, through which the information must pass at a minimum is as follows: Step 1: Photographing of the original document at a large reduction onto a silver halide microfilm. Step 2: Duplicating through contact printing onto a non-silver photographic material. Step 3: Second generation duplication onto a nonsilver photographic material (This image may be used on a microfilm reader). Step 4: Enlargement of the second generation duplicate to give a hard copy print. One of the main objectives …

A Kinetic Study Of Lysine And Lysine Derivatives, Stephen Joseph Stanley

Theses

The kinetics of the reaction of iodoacetamide with lysine, polylysine, N-α-Acetyl lysine, and N-ε-Acetyl lysine, have been studied. The investigation was done at 23° C ± 123° C, as a function of pH, and concentration. In all cases it was noted that the rate of reaction increased as the pH increased. The rate data was analyzed in order to obtain the second order rate constants. In addition, the effects of the reactive site's environment on the rate was demonstrated.
