6 Cubicles (Original Drama)., Daniel Warren Landes

Theses and Dissertations

6 Cubicles is a three act drama that is best labeled a "tragicomedy." The plot revolves around the life of Hilda Stag, an elderly English professor whose obsessive behavior is best typified by her kleptomania and her mania for watching soap operas. Eventually Hilda's bad habits are chosen by her colleagues as the "sins" of the faculty office for which "atonement" must be made. Hilda thus becomes a scapegoat who is "sacrificed" by her officemates by means of a seemingly harmless prank. Suffering a mental breakdown, Hilda fantasizes herself in a religious soap opera but is victimized here as well, …

Steam Drying Of Lignite, Sunil V. Sapatnekar

Theses and Dissertations

North Dakota lignite, (,-lV x 1") in size and having 35 percent initial moisture content, was steam dried by the Fleissner process at elevated temperatures and pressures. The reduction in moisture content of lignite was investigated as a function of the residence time and the drying temperature. The residence time was varied from 10 to 30 minutes and the drying temperature from 220° to 270°C.

It was determined that decrease in moisture content was independent of drying times longer than 20 minutes and drying temperatures below 250°C. The reduction in moisture content increased at higher temperatures. It varied from 45 …

Hemisphericity And Flexibility In Problem Solving Strategies In Creative Test Performance, Mark D. Schuler

Theses and Dissertations

The present study was designed to provide further data regarding the contribution of hemisphericity to the creative process. A flexibility variable was suggested as another contributing factor in the creative process. A set of four questionnaires yielding seven scores reflecting behavioral, personal preference, and personality indices was used to assess hemisphericity. A concept formation task that would theoretically reflect analytic and holistic processing was developed to assess flexibility in problem solving strategies. The hemisphericity and flexibility measures, along with the creativity measure, were administered to 37 females and 13 males. All subjects were right handed with no familial sinistrality.
