The Poetic Technique Of Gil Vicente, Peter John Lunardini

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

The important problem at present, however, is the critical analysis of the lyrics found in Vicentine drama. This analysis is two-fold: that of the strophe patterns employed by the poet as well as that of the lyric content of the poems themselves. An analysis of the structure of the songs is of utmost importance since reiteration and rhythm are essential features of popular songs.

An Investigation Of The Collision Lengths Of Penetrating-Shower-Producing Radiation In Various Materials, James Francis Kenney

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Estimates For The Zeros Of Ultraspherical Polynomials, Frank B. Correia

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

In this work an attempt is made to develop a new method for estimating the zeros of the Ultraspherical Polynomials. This method presupposes knowledge of the differential equation that these polynomials satisfy. However the method is applicable to a much wider class of functions since it may also be applied to estimating the zeros of the solutions of any homogeneous linear differential equation of the second order which satisfies certain initial conditions.

Radiosensitivity Of Mice In Relation To Heightened Metabolic Activity During And Immediately Prior To Exposure To 220 Kv X-Rays, M. Rosalie Henneke

Bachelors’ Theses

The manner in which certain factors influence the susceptibility of protoplasmic systems to ionizing radiations is not as yet well understood. Of prime importance among these factors is metabolic rate; it has been demonstrated that there exists a definite re­lationship between metabolic level and the lethal effects of such radiations. At the outset it must be pointed out that there are two principal problems in this connection; that is to say, radiosensitivity can be studied in relation to metabolic rate prevailing during or subsequent to exposure. One of the most frequently used criterion of radiosusceptability is mortality rate.

The area was mapped on the scale of 1/31680 with the aid of aerial photographs and Soil Conservation Service planimeteric base map 173. This scale was later enlargened to 1/15840. Rock and mineral specimens were studied with the aid of a hand lens, and the oil immersion method was used to identify some minerals. No thin sections were made. Sedimentary rocks were mapped to complete the geologic picture. No detailed sedimentary sections were measured as emphasis was placed on the Cenozoic igneous …

The Flotation Concentration Of A Complex Low-Grade Lead Zinc Ore, Edward James Fong

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This report is concerned primarily with the beneficiation of a low-grade complex lead-zinc ore. The depletion of high grade veins has caused the mineral engineer to seek deposits deeper in the earth's crust or to find lower grade deposits. The other alternative has placed more research problems on Mineral Dressing Engineers in particularly the iron, copper, lead and zinc fields.

A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Preaching Of N. B. Hardeman, Elbert G. Barnhart

Speech and Hearing Sciences ETDs

In a free society the sermon is a prevalent type of public speech. Its wide usage as a means of propagating ideas has been a powerful force in making and keeping this nation predominantly religious. The importance of pulpit oratory is further appreciated when viewed from a numerical standpoint. There are over 15 million sermons preached each year in the 866,000 congregations of church members in this nation.

Studies In The Cinnoline Series, David B. Cox

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Recent work by Castle and Kruse (16) has partially elucidated the range of reactivity of the chlorine atom in the compounds 4-chlorocinnoline and 4-chloro-6,7-dimethoxycinnoline. Condensations between the chlorinated cinnolines and certain phenylacetonitriles were found to proceed readily; however, condensations with compounds of the malonic ester type were unsuccessful. It was found that hydrolysis of the condensation product obtained from 4-chlorocinnoline and phenylacetontrile by hot 60% sulfuric acid caused decarboxylation of the intermediate acid, the final product being 4-benzylcinnoline. This compound has a formal resemblance to the basic ring structure of papaverine.

An Analysis Of The Monostable Cathode-Coupled Multivibrator, Joseph C. Connell

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

II. PURPOSE OF THESIS

The foregoing comments pointed out the facts that: 1) little has been done to show the similarity between the multivibrator and the RC amplifier with degenerative feedback; 2) the existing treatment of the conditions under which a linear relationship between pulse duration and applied grid voltage will exist does not give results which are in very good agreement with the values used in a practical circuit.

It is the purpose of this study to fill in these gaps by showing that the equations resulting from an analysis of the cathode-coupled multivibrator are, in general, those of …

The History And Trends Of Indian Education In New Mexico Under The Administration Of Federal And State Governments, William Moyer Hemsing

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

As this study shall show, coordinated state, federal, and Indian planning can greatly accelerate the transition from federal to state control of Indian education. Such planning cannot proceed without public support, as mentioned above, based upon a real understanding of these complex, two-way acculturation problems, and their inseparable relationship to the life or death struggle between democracy and communism throughout the world.

Ricardo Flores Magón And The Mexican Liberal Party, Myra Ellen Jenkins

History ETDs

The following study will attempt to show the influence of the Mexican Liberal party from the period of the Díaz dictatorship to the administration of Álvaro Obregón. Most of the democratic economic and political principles which it advocated in the Manifesto of July 1, 1906 were later incorporated into the Constitution of 1917. Although this group failed to bring Anarcho-Communism to Mexico by force of arms during and after the Madero revolution, the agitation which it conducted influenced the agrarian movement led by Zapata, and the left-wing labor movement which finally resulted in the organization of the Confederación General de …

An Analysis Of Salary Schedules In The Public Schools Of New Mexico 1953-54, Jack Andrew Echols

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The question of salary schedules, however, is not answered with the determination of salaries to be paid to members of the school staff. The factors of its effect on morale and the encouragement of professional growth must be considered. The ability of the state and the school district to finance such a schedule must be determinants. The welfare of the school, the community, and the teacher may be greatly affected by the salary polices of the board of education.

It is the purpose of this study (1) to present the philosophy and principles underlying the development of salary schedules, (2) …

Stratigraphy And Paleontology Of The Carboniferous Rocks Of The Cedro Canyon Area, Manzanita Mountains, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, Ernest Szabo

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The discovery of an extension into the Cedro Canyon area, in the northern Manzanita Mountains, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, of strata similar in lithology and stratigraphic position to known pre-Pennsylvanian rocks of nearby areas is included in this report. No diagnostic fossils have been found in these newly discovered strata and therefore definite age assignment can not be made.

The Pennsylvanian strata are dominantly marine and exhibit unusual lighologic variations. These variations are attributed to the environment of a transgressing sea on an unstable shelf.

Measured sections indicate that it is possible to subdivide these strata according to series on …

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

All of the information on the various districts has come directly from published reports. The investigation was suggested by Mr. Forbes Robertson. The geographical extent of the deposits was confined to the western United States. Many of these deposits are of the disseminated porphyry type. A few of the de­posits, such as at Butte, Montana, were of the fissure vein type.

Geology Of The Marget Ann Mine Butte District, Montana, Winston Martin Sahinen

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

As the field work progressed it became apparent that very little was known of the mineralogical associations of the precious metal constituents of the Marget Ann ore. A mineralogical study in excess of that originally planned was then decided upon to de­termine the affiliations exhibited by the silver and gold. With these objectives in mind, the laboratory and field work continued.

Isotomine Collembola From The Sandia Mountains Of New Mexico, Harold Scott

Biology ETDs

This paper records the first study of Collembola ever made in the Sandia Mountains and one of the first ever made in New Mexico even though the state presents excellent opportunities for study of this order. The Sandia Mountains are an ecologist’s paradise and it is probable that two hundred or more species of Collembola occur in this region alone. The entire state of New Mexico, possessing the extremes of elevation and the large geographical extent necessary to produce a great diversity of habitat types, probably contains nearly twice this number.
