"The Church And Colonel Saunders": Mormon Standard Plan Architecture, Martha Sonntag Bradley

Theses and Dissertations

In the years 1920-80 the Mormon Church developed, expanded and refined an architectural program based on the concept of the standard plan. Standard plan buildings were selected, individualized and built for local ward units under the direction of the Church Building Department which created uniform standards of quality and appearance across the worldwide Church and created a tangible link between foreign members and the central Church.

Although functional and financial considerations directed virtually all design decisions and formed the operative basis of the program other elements also determined the nature of the Mormon approach to building. Growth, in the membership, …

Microfit : A Gate Level Logic Simulator, Yacoub Abraham Alsaka

Theses and Dissertations

Today, gate logic simulation requires large computer facilities. This thesis demonstrates the ability to implement a gate logic simulator in a limited memory environment, specifically in a microcomputer system which usually has limited memory space; at the same time with a reasonable response time. This will permit the use of gate level simulation as a powerful design tool implemented with limited resources or with a desk-top microcomputer. The thesis discusses the development of the MICROFIT logic simulator. The MICROFIT would be used by the students and implemented on the LSI-11 Microcomputer Systems in the Assembly Language Laboratory at Florida Institute …

The Relationship Between Locus Of Control, Military And University Environments, And Psychological Well-Being., Edwin Woodrow Gunberg Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between locus of control and psychological well-being for different environmental situations. Two different environments were selected, the military environment as an example of a situation where events are frequently beyond individual control, and the university environment as an example of a situation where individuals have more control over the events in their lives. Internal and external subjects from both environments were compared on psychological well-being, a linear composite of self-concept and anxiety. The experimental hypotheses reflected the expectation that individuals with an internal locus of control would have higher …

Ring Current Effects In Electron Donor Acceptor Complexes Of Biphenylene And Ferrocene., Donald Patrick Mccollor

Theses and Dissertations

Electron donor acceptor complexes of the donors biphenylene (BP) and some ferrocenes have been studied by NMR spectroscopy to examine the effects of donor ring currents on acceptor chemical shifts.Equilibrium constants and the differences in chemical shifts between free and complexed acceptor ((DELTA)(,o) values) for the complexes of BP with the acceptors 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB), 1,4-dinitrobenzene (DNB), N-methylsuccinimide (NMS), tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone (FAN), and 1,4-dicyano-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene (TFTN) have been obtained by ('1)H and ('19)F NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the crystal and molecular structures of the 1:1 complexes BP-DNB and BP-FAN have been determined by x-ray diffraction. The complexes crystallize in infinite stacks of alternating …

Vachel Lindsay: The Dispersed And Prepared Audience., Kenneth Peder Peeders

Theses and Dissertations

Vachel Lindsay travelled thousands of miles, subjected himself to a grueling schedule of public appearances and stressed the oral presentation of his poetry over and above simple publication alone. In so doing, he set himself apart from others in the New Poetry movement which began during the second decade of this century. This study documents Lindsay's uniqueness.It does so by exploring, in chapter one, his search for an audience, first, through publication in magazines and through the publication of a volume of his verse, and, second, through oral presentation. It establishes Lindsay's early interest in the voice-to-ear approach and presents …

Reductive Denitrogenation Mechanisms Of Aromatic Amines., Vijay Raju Srinivas

Theses and Dissertations

High temperature-high pressure reactions were done with N,N-dimethylaniline and related compounds to study the cleavage of the aromatic and aliphatic C-N bonds, for denitrogenation under coal liquefaction conditions. Reactions were run in a pair of 250-ml Hastelloy 'C' autoclaves and in 12-ml stainless steel autoclaves designed in our laboratory. The range of temperatures studied was 425(DEGREES)C-450(DEGREES)C and that of pressure was 0-1500 psi (initial).The mechanism of the cleavage of both the aromatic C-N bond and the alkyl C-N bond have been postulated. The two sets of conditions studied were; (i) those which excluded any form of sulfur and (ii) those …

Removal Of Sodium From Lignite By Ion Exchange In A Continuous Countercurrent Unit, Solomon Bekele

Theses and Dissertations

The exchange of sodium and other cations from lignite by hydrogen ion in an aqueous H2SO4 medium was investigated in a continuous counter- current ion exchange unit. This was studied as a function of solid residence time, solid/liquid mass ratio, initial acid concentration and lignite particle size.

Cations removal from lignite increased with an increase in residence time and in acid concentration and with a decrease in solid/liquid mass ratio and in particle size. The removal of sodium reached equilibrium values at 50 minutes residence time and for 0.4651 N solution concentration. Solid/liquid mass ratios of less than 1/2 produced …
