A Study Of The Relation Between Intelligence And Accomplishment As Shown By The Use Of Standardized Tests In A "Main Street" School, Cora Nelle Freeman

Psychology ETDs

The literature upon the subject of Standardized tests has dealt almost entirely with either city schools or rural school surveys. The Devil did not make the little towns, but they are made up of our great middle classes and are deserving of all that science discovers. Many teachers come from this class. They have received their public school education in the small town schools and are now teaching there. Give the children of these places the best and as our future leaders they will give their best to society.

This study is made with the idea of benefiting not only …

Philippine Education Prior To Magellan., Morris Uberta Lively

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In studying the culture of any people we learn that no group has been absolutely independent of influences from other people. No man indeed can say that he has attained anything of value absolutely by himself; an individual must give credit to the contributions of other men, nations and races of people past and present. So must a nation glean its culture from that of other people. The Roman Empire is a splendid example of this gleaning of culture. Their culture came from contributions made by the Greeks, the Jews and from the people of northern Africa as well as …

Word-Play In Shakespeare., Mary E. Burton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A careful perusal of Shakespeare’s works leads to one outstanding conclusion. Shakespeare was preeminently interested in words, as such. His every play shows a painstaking attention to words in their various shades of meaning. It is our interest to present some definite proof of this extraordinary emphasis on words, and to attempt in a small way to explain the reason for this particular trait of Shakespeare’s. Certainly as skillful a playwright as he would not have included so many carefully planned word-plays in his dramas if the audience of the time were not interested in the language itself as well …

The Relation Of Respiration, Transpiration, And Loss Of Weight To Surface Area And Number Of Lenticles In Potato Tubers, Walter H. Michaels

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although considerable work has been done on the respiration of potato tubers most of it has been concerned with internal changes. Some very interesting correlations have been secured but the more recent work, particularly that of Bennet and Bartholomew (8) points to the permeability of the epidermis as the big controlling factor in respiration. It is a commonly accepted fact that the purpose of lenticels is to serve as an aperture through which the gases concerned in respiration may pass. The lenticels of the potato tuber should be no exception. The surface area should also greatly influence respiration since a …

The Influence Of Starter On The Keeping Quality Of Butter, J. Kenneth Muse

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Butter is the most important product of the dairy industry. Therefore, experimental work which indicates how the quality of butter may be improved is of considerable value. The present methods of handling cream and making butter are largely responsible for the mediocre quality of much of the American butter. The quality of the cream is not in the control of the buttermaker, except as he may improve it through impressing the producers with the importance of producing high grade cream. Manufacturing methods are, however, in the control of the buttermaker, and he should profit by the research work which has …

A Chemical And Morphological Study Of Grindelia Squarrosa (Pursh) Dunal, Marcus A. Chase

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A species of Grindelia known as Gum, Rosin or Tar weed, is of common occurrence on dry banks and sandy soils in various parts of South Dakota. During day seasons it attains such a dense growth in closely cropped pastures that horses feeding in them have their heads and manes covered with a black tarry-like substance, and their fetlocks collects fairly large ball of this tarry mass. In dry years the development of the weed is so rapid that the grass in a closely cropped pasture may be nearly exterminated during a single season. A pasture may seem to be …

Resonance In Magnetically Coupled, Tuned Circuits, H. D. Craun

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This paper is devoted to a study of resonance in magnetically coupled, tuned circuits, the primary having impressed on it a sinusoidal e.m.f. and containing capacity, inductance and resistance, the secondary circuit being the same as the primary except that the e.m.f. is induced by the primary. Two such circuits are represented in figure 1. The ordinary radio receiving or broadcasting se consists fundamentally of two such circuits. In the receiving set the e.m.f. in the primary is received from the waves in the ether, the ariel and ground being similar to the generator connections as show in the figure. …

Quantitative Determination Of The Elements In The Nodes And Internodes Of Normal And Abnormal Corn Plants, Percy Danielson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the last decade the annual loss due to corn rot diseases has been so great that much attention has been given this problem. These diseases, according to several authorities are caused by certain fungi and bacteria which live parasitically upon the corn plant and are known as root, stalk and ear rots. Several species are found on the seed and start growth as soon as the seed germinates. These same species are found living in the soil. When these organisms are found to be prevalent on the seed and in the soil all stages of growth in the corn …

Effect Of Various Factors On The Rate Of Reduction Of Zinc Ferrite, Calamine, And Willemite By Carbon, Foster Cary Nix

Masters Theses

"Zinc ores containing large amounts of ferric oxide, calamine and willemite have been known for a long time among practical zinc metallurgists to be more difficult to reduce than ores of the same type but free from the above named compounds. This has been thought to be due to the high temperatures necessary for the reduction of the zinc ferrite and the zinc silicates by carbon. The ferrite is formed both during the roasting of sulphide ores and during distillation in the retorts, while calamine and willemite are introduced as such in the ores. The amount of ferrite formed during …

A Granular Briquette Resistance Furnace For The Electrothermic Dry Distillation Of Zinc Ores, Milton E. Countryman

Masters Theses

[This thesis] "describes experiments carried on at the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, cooperating with the School of Mines and Metallurgy of the University of Missouri, which had for their purpose the development of a 'granular briquet [sic] resistance furnace' for the electrothermic dry distillation of zinc ores"--page v.

A Study Of Phytosterol Obtained From Cocoa Beans And Cocoa Butter, Norman Anthony Pokorny

Bachelors’ Theses

Despite the fact that considerable work has been done on cholesterol, relatively little is known about its isomer, phytosterol. Both cholesterol and phytosterol belong to the general group of sterols. Cholesterol is described as an aromatic sterol, a mono~atomic secondary alcohol, containing an iso-propyl and a vinyl group, with a terpene-like structure. Cholesterol was first discovered by Conradi in 1775, then by Gren (1788) in biliary calculi. In 1785 Fourcroy isolated cholesterol from gall-stones, one variety of which is composed almost wholly of it, but it was confused with adipocere, until Chevreul (1814) discovered its true nature, when he declared …

The Condensation Of Formaldehyde And Methyl Acridine., Clifford Albin Belch 1887-1973

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Very little is known about the acridine ring system. Such compounds as acriflavine, brucine and strychnine are generally believed to contain the acridine ring system. These compounds are all very important drugs. Acriflavine has been used in the treatment of diseases which are due, in whole or in part, to tropanasoma. Strychnine and brucine which may have many and varied uses need not be described here but they are natural plant products. For this reason, acridine derivatives are interesting. Other derivatives of the acridine type should be of some interest. Methylacridine lends itself to reactions readily. Its condensation with formaldehyde …
