A Study Of The Variations In The Growth Of Blue Grama Grass From Seed Produced In Various Sections Of The Great Plains Region, Andrew Riegel

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

During the past 7 years the Great Plains Region, with its "dust bowl", has been the scene of unparalleled activity in the fields of range management and erosion control. The people of this short grass area are extremely conscious of the need for a sound, practical program of conservation that will revegetate the wasted pasture and cultivated land, which will aid materially in preserving the eroding soil. Many problems have arisen as the program of conserving the soil and the vegetation has progressed.

The Influence Of Separate Answer Sheets On The Reliability And Norms Of Standardized Achievement Tests, James Edward Kuntz

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Do the mechanics involved in recording answers for standardized tests on separate answer sheets reduce the reliability and the average raw scores made? It is the purpose of this investigation to answer this question. In a previous research made by the writer, significant differences were found between the Modern School Achievement Test norms and average scores made by several thousand pupils of Western Kansas on a modified form of this test in which separate answer sheets were used.

The Recreational Activities Of Rural Youth In Waller County, Texas, Frieda Estelle Rhone

A Proposed Program Of Vocational Guidance In The Schools Of Freestone County, Annie Mae Riles

All Theses

Vocational guidance is an educational service and as such should be considered an integral part of the educational program carried on by the recognized educational agency of the community. Growth of industry and great expansion of the number of possible callings ling ago rendered the choice of a vocation difficult. No social agency existed through which the individual might receive assistance, hence the school - somewhat tardily - assumed this function. Ways and mean have been devised to accumulate information about the various vocations and to put the individual in possession of a reasonable amount of this information so that …

Origin And Development Of Tissues In The Root Of Daucus Carota, L., M. Gerald Vodde

Bachelors’ Theses

When botanists of the seventeenth century began their anatomical investigations of plants, their attention was quite naturally centered on the parts of the plant which they most readily observed growing above the ground. The Englishman, Robert Hooke (1661), revolutionized the botanical sciences when he announced his discovery of the fact that plant tissues are composed of cavities which he called cells. Many workers enthusiastically took up the study of plant tissues and the individual cells of which these tissues are composed. Progress was rather slow, and it was not until approximately two hundred years later that the cell theory was …

A Study Of The Proteolytic Activity Of The Enzyme Papain On Various Brands Of Gelatine, Mary Christella Zeszuto

Bachelors’ Theses

The measurement of the ·viscosity of liquids by means of capillary tubes has been carried on for more than a hundred years. It was not, however, until 1846 that the results of Poiseuille's research were given to the public. For the comprehensive study he made of the problem, the concept of the laws controlling viscometry flow is attributed to him. The study of the same problem. was continued by many others in subsequent years. Their results, in general, verify the principles given by Poiseuille, but corrections attributed to conditions other than viscous flow have been suggested. These involve drainage, liquid …

A Method For Comparing And Measuring The Drying Time Of Glues, William C. Strutz

Bachelors’ Theses

The measurements or quality in glue testing are arbitrary and are of value only when compared to a standard glue or when comparing one glue to another. Glues have been used for hundreds of years, but it has been only in the last forty or fifty years that any scientific investigations of any consequence have been made. Prior to this time glues were made by rule of thumb by practical men who learned the art of glue making from other practical men in the business and by contact with the industry. "When the United States entered the Great War and …

Copper Chromium Oxide As A Catalyst In The Hydrogenation Of Castor Oil, Mary Sebaldus Rueger

Bachelors’ Theses

Catalysts are essential to most hydrogenation reactions. Very few hydrogenations occur in the absence of some sort of catalyst. Thus, the earlier work of Bergius on coal hydrogenation was non-catalytic, but more recently the process has become practically entirely catalytic thru the development of the I. G. Farbenindustrie in Germany.

A Comparative Study Of The Proteolytic Activity Of Trypsin On Various Gelatins, Louis Hinkle Coggs

Bachelors’ Theses

Since 1839, the viscosity of liquids has been measured by means of capillary tubes. However, it was not until the year 1846, that the results of Poiaeu1lle's research were :made known to the public. Because of the comprehensiveness of Poiseuille's work, the concept of the laws controlling viscometry flow is attributed to him. For one hundred rears the subject of viscometry has been studied by many. During these years the principle a propounded by Poiseuille have been verified in general, but various corrections and modifications of viscometers in regard to drainage, surface tension, liquid head, and kinetic energy have been …
