A Study Of The Relationship Between Number Of Distinctive-Feature Errors And Judged Speech Defectiveness, Laura Lynne Krowchenko

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine if judged speech defectiveness is systematically based on the distance between the target and the substituted phoneme, as measured by the number of distinctive-feature errors occurring in a phoneme substitution. Eighteen passages of continuous speech, arranged in paired comparisons, were presented to fifty subjects. Fifteen passages were prepared so that each contained ten phoneme substitutions of one, two, three, four, or five feature errors. Three passages were articulated correctly. Forty-five pairs of passages were played for the subjects who x?ere required to judge which passage of a pair was the more defective. …

Sensory Approach To Creative Writing: A Study Of The Effect Of Increasing The Number Of Types Of Sensory Stimuli Intended To Motivate Children To Write Creatively, Richard P. King

Theses and Dissertations

The Problem: The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine if increasing the number of types of sensory stimulation prior to a writing experience would help children to write more creatively and to write longer stories.

A secondary purpose was to examine the predictability of superintendent turnover from selected demographic and educational variables.

Procedure: The population of the study was limited to 32 school divisions in the Province of Manitoba, as …

Clustering And Subjective Organization Of Free Recall Learning, Sandra Gail Harrell Fenner

Theses and Dissertations

Two concepts, clustering and subjective organization, have figured prominently in theoretical explanations of free recall learning. With lists composed of categorized words (e.g., animals, vegetables, occupations), subjects tend to order recall by categories, which tendency is called clustering. There is much experimental evidence for a relationship between clustering and amount recalled, as recall and clustering have been shown to increase with repeated presentations of the material. Curiously, there is some evidence that the degree of clustering seems to be uncorrelated with recall scores, that is, subjects who cluster strongly do not recall more words than subjects who cluster less strongly …

The Human Female Figure As An Affected Image In Modern Art, Gregory G. Chyle

Theses and Dissertations

The title, The Human Female Figure as an Affected Image in Modern Art expresses the principal hypothesis of this study, but definition of terms included in this title is necessary to fully understand my intentions. The image of the human female figure depicted in a work of art is the subject of my concern. How the figure is represented, through various attitudes and appearances, assumed or implied, determines how the viewers interpretation of this image is affected .

Although a clearly defined time period is not critical to this study, Modern Art will be defined as that art falling into …

A secondary purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship b e tween certain student characteristics and the high dropout rate of students …

A Comparative Study Utilizing Carpet For Machine Noise Reduction In An Industrial Technology Woodworking Laboratory, Eugene A. Schlomer

Theses and Dissertations

The nature and scope of this study was an experimental research project designed to determine what effect the installation of carpet would have on the redu·ction of potentially harmful airborne and structure-borne noise levels emitted from standard industrial woodworking machines commonly used in school instructional programs

The specific objectives formulated for the study were to (1) determine the feasibility of using carpet as a sound absorbent floor covering material to control the airborne and structure-borne noise emissions from selected woodworking machines, (2) determine the potentially harmful noise levels produced by various woodworking machines, (3) determine what effect the carpet installed …

The Effect Of Haloxon And Thiabendazole On The Free-Living Stages Of Haemonchus Contortus, Gary Mccallister

Theses and Dissertations

This study was undertaken to determine the effect of thiabendazole and haloxon on the free-living stages of Haemonchus contortus and to determine the suitability of the free-living stages for their use in primary drug evaluation for chemotherapy or for chemical control of free-living stages. Cleaned unembryonated ova, embryonated ova, first-, second-, third-, and exsheathed third-stage larvae were exposed to suspensions of 5.0%, 1.0%, 0.5%, 0.25%, 0.12%, 0.05%, and water soluble concentrations of each drug for exposure times of 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, and 16.0 hours at pH 7.0 and 25° C. Survival was assessed by observing any subsequent …

History Of The Swedish Mission Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints 1905-1973, Carl Erik Johansson

Theses and Dissertations

The study traced major developments in the Swedish Mission. A decided help in this undertaking was the author's own long association with the Mormons in Sweden. The government attempted to prevent Mormon proselyting in the first two decades. This ended in a tacit approval for the Mormons to carry on. The conditions between both world wars induced fairly successful "hold-the-fort" efforts. Youth conferences were especially vital in building a spirit of unity among Swedish Mormons.

The period after the second world war showed several definite trends. Membership increased three-fold to more than 5000. Chapels were acquired. Organizations on the mission …

The Effects Of Deficiencies Of Certain Mineral Nutrients On The Activity And Various Properties Of Ribulose-1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase From Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.), Philip Alan Harrison

Theses and Dissertations

Barley plants grown in Mg, Mn, Zn and Cu deficient media were analyzed for specific activity, total activity and amount of RuDPCase present. Percent dry weight, as well as chlorophyll and soluble protein content were determined. All deficiencies caused lower chlorophyll and RuDPCase concentrations than occurred in the control. Soluble protein content, however, was higher in all deficient plants than in the control, either on a dry or a fresh weight basis. The addition of 18 μM Mn^2+ increased the activity of Mg^2+ containing RuDPCase preparations as much as 133% above normal. The specific activity of RuDPCase from Mg, Mn, …
