The purpose of this investigation was to duplicate the methodology
of the Pitcher and Prelinger (1963) study, using their theoretical framework
and category system, to examine the cultural impact upon the
development of a group of socioeconomically disadvantaged preschool
children as reflected in their fantasy products, specifically
in their spontaneously...
Digital filtering can be done on a limited scale using an
IBM 1620 digital computer. A computer program has been written
to aid in the design of digital filters by computing the power spectrum
of sampled time data. The power spectrum analysis program
was coded in SPS symbolic machine language....

An investigation was conducted to ascertain if certain concepts
of microbial metabolism, derived from studies using simple
soluble substrates, are applicable to the biological assimilation of
complex, partially colloidal suspensions. A mixture containing one
gram of Carnation dry-skim milk is considered to be a complex,
partially colloidal substrate and was...
The recent development of the laser has made possible
communications with a beam of coherent light.
Since coherent light offers great advantages over radio
in the areas of beam directivity and information capacity,
optical communication systems have been proposed
for many uses.
The first section of this thesis gives a...
In certain cases in system modeling, parameter search problems
are complicated by the availability of scanty and corrupt physical
system data and a large number of model parameters. An algorithm
using man-machine interaction is presented to attack this type
of parameter search problem with the objective of efficiency in the...
