Stages Of Development In The Evolution Of The Hamlet Legend, 1200-1623, Frank M. Paulsen

Student Work

Probably more time has been misspent in trying to fit together the pieces of the Hamlet puzzle than in all of the investigations into alchemy. From the very beginning of Hamlet criticism there seem to have been two diverse reactions to the play. Carried over the twentieth century, these schools are represented by T. S. Eliot, who holds that Hamlet is an artistic failure, and J. D. Wilson, who justifies, to his own satisfaction, at any rate, every line of the play. If Eliot sits at a table with the Hamlet puzzle before him, his chin in his hand and …

Biographical Prediction Of Educational Success, Gerald Melvin Simmerman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study undertaken here is to determine the extent to which four biographical factors could be used to predict success in Air Force Career Counseling courses. The biographical factors are (1) age, (2) amount of education, (3) number of years in the Air Force and (4) number of years since the individual last attended school. The criteria used to measure the success are the test score results obtained in the Air Force Career Counseling Course taught at the University of Denver during 1952.

Correlation Of The Number Of Theoretical Plates Vs. Reflux Ratio, George Ignatius Parisi

Theses

A correlation is presented from which the number of theoretical plates for a given separation by distillation can be estimated as a function of the reflux ratio. The effects of relative volatility and feed composition upon such a correlation are also studied. Smoker's (1) equation was used in calculating the data. The results were obtained by varying the several parameters which have to be given for any separa tion desired. These include feed compositions of 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75; relative volatilities of 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, and 2.0; and various reflux ratios. The overhead product and bottoms product compositions were kept …

Substituted Ureas, Roy Earl Parks

Theses

Nitrosomethylurea in aqueous medium decomposes on heating to methanol, nitrogen and cyanic or isocyanic acid. Primary amines present during the decomposition react with cyanic acid to form substituted ureas, readily isolated in high purity and good yield.

The Effect Of Surface Tension Upon The Flow Of Fluids Through Packed Beds, William Charles Streib

Theses

Flow tests through beds of unconsolidated sand, glass beads and 1/4 inch Berl saddles showed that wide variations in the surface tension of a fluid had no significant effect on its flowrate through the bed. Viscosity and density were the only fluid properties affecting such flow. Excellent comparative results were observed between the flowrates through sand beds and those predicted by the Leva equation.

The complex Brownell and Katz equation for predicting the residual saturation of a packed bed was found to apply for fluids having a much wider range of surface tension than those originally used to derive their …

The Development Of Executives, Joseph Ralph Messineo

Theses

The ever-increasing trend toward improved industrial efficiency creates the problem of supplying capable executives. The supply of executive manpower in business corporations ever needs replenishing. Expansion of operations, retirements, and other circumstances cause executive demands and vacancies which must be filled. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze and report on what industry is actually doing today to develop executives to meet present and future requirements. Also, it is the author's intent to formulate a comprehensive executive development program that can be adopted with some limitations by industry for the building of an executive reserve.

In order to …

Ultrafiltration In The Pigment Field : A Critical Literature Survey, Charles Walter Manger

Theses

The objective in this work has been to determine, through a critical literature survey, the possible application of ultrafiltration, and other related techniques, towards the solution of certain problems encountered in the research and testing of various pigments.

Among these problems may be mentioned the following:

1. The determination of water-soluble salts in pigments, which when dispersed in water to leach out the salts, tend to peptize, thus being unfilterable through the usual filter paper. Among these pigments are the following: iron blue, certain chrome yellows, pigment green B, copper maroon, and several others. It may be added that these pigments …

Henry Brooke: A Study Of His Ideas And Of His Position In The Pre-Romantic Movement, Richard H. Darbee

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study originated in the belief that the poems, plays, and novels of Henry Brooke furnish a good cross-section of the thought of eighteenth-century England. Deism, Newtonianism, mysticism, methodism, Rousseauism-- all find expression in Brooke's writing. Since on the surface it would appear that many of the ideas are contradictory and incompatible, I was interested to learn whether, chameleon like, he changed his ideas to fit each passing interest, abandoning one set of beliefs to embrace another, or whether, by means of some subtle alchemy, he was able to fuse and synthesize the apparently divergent ideas which his writings reflect. …

The Writings Of Rabindranath Tagore As A Bridge Between East And West, Marie Somerville

English Language and Literature ETDs

Tagore, the interpreter of the East to the West, was impelled by the urge of his strong desire for world understanding to shape his thought in many media. He presents his message clothed in the garb of nature and her influence on men; he expresses his rejection of the material in favor of the spiritual and the simple in beautiful melody; he champions the poor and the oppressed in arresting song, and with impassioned ardor compels sincerity and abandonment of all sham and orthodoxy that cripple the spirit.

Arnulfo Árias: A Study In Nationalism, Charles A. Moya

Latin American Studies ETDs

This paper is an endeavor to present a just and impartial narration of the events as well as the interpretation of the facts that in some way conditioned the colorful political career of one of the most controversial and dynamic nationalists of contemporary Latin America.

Arnulfo Árias is a relatively young man, and while presently barred from holding public office, his many followers are confident that his exoneration and political rehabilitation are only a matter of time. If and when his civil rights are restored, it is quite possible that his political tactics will have shown some basic modifications. The …

Aboriginal And Post-Contact Traits Of The Montagnais-Naskapi Culture, Edward S. Rogers

Anthropology ETDs

This thesis is an analysis of the culture of the Montagnais-Naskapi Indians of the Labrador Peninsula in northeastern North America. The compound term "Montagnais-Naskapi" was proposed by Hallowell. "Montagnais" had previously been used to designate those bands living in the southern half of the Peninsula and "Naskapi" those in the north. The compound name was later employed for both groups because of their general culture and linguistic similarity.
