The problem of this thesis is the existence of an anomalous manorial landscape in northern Fauquier County, Virginia. The county is about 45 miles southwest of Washington, D. C. The thesis seeks to develop a hypothesis to explain the existence of this landscape so different from surrounding areas in a...
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a required
mathematics content course upon prospective elementary school
teachers at Brigham Young University. The investigation consisted of
three major areas: (1) attitudes toward mathematics, (2) basic mathematical
understanding, and (3) the relationship between certain selected
variables.
Procedure...
This describes the development of a new fuel flowmeter. Among the desired features were an accuracy of ±2%, a linear response to fuel flow rate, a means of increasing the sensitivity at the low end of the meter scale and portability so that it would be equally useful in the...
This paper presents an exposition of the stochastic models
for the Brownian motion. The results of Einstein and Wiener are
presented, together with the Uhlenbeck-Ornstein process which
gives a more realistic model of the Brownian motion of a particle.
Finally, applying a one-one transformation on the forward
Kolmogorov equation we...
The purpose of this study was to compare the number and
type of physical disorders of two hundred educable mentally retarded students and two hundred normal intelligence students. The relationship of physical disorders to sex and age was also investigated.
The descriptive survey method was chosen for the study.
Data...
This investigation was undertaken to provide a chemical
description of an actinophage for Streptomyces griseus, and to
determine the base composition of the phage DNA moiety. It was
believed of interest to learn whether the actinophage for the
filamentous S. griseus host would be different in its chemical
properties from...
This investigation was designed to analyze change in critical .
thinking between students in laboratory-centered and lecture-demonstration-centered patterns of instruction in high school biology.
Twenty biology classes were randomly selected from the four
senior high schools in the Salt Lake City School District. Class enrollment
ranged from nine students in...
Several investigators have recently called attention to the
fact that the flux equation for water movement in unsaturated soils
may not be an appropriate mathematical model for the development
of the theory of unsaturated flow phenomena.
An analytical theory is developed for the purpose of testing
the validity of the...
Oxidative phosphorylation and related reactions, particularly as
affected by 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP), were studied with mitochondria
and submitochondrial particles isolated from the flight muscle of the
blowfly (Phormia regina) and housefly (Musca domestida). In the
presence of a phosphate acceptor, the mitochondria oxidized pyruvate
rapidly, and this was tightly coupled...
