The central purpose of this study was to examine the
attitudes of non-disabled college students toward their
developmentally disabled peers attending the same college.

In 1952, at the height of the McCarthy era, Franz Kallmann, a Jewish psychiatrist and eugenicist who fled the National Socialist regime in Germany, published a study, in which he claimed to have found a one hundred percent concordance rate for homosexuality among forty pairs of identical twins. From this...
The main goals of this study were: (1) to develop a combination
of soiling, laundering, and soil detection procedures which would be
accurate, reproducible, and relatively rapid; (2) to develop a quantitative
method to detect artificial soil on fabrics by X-ray fluorescent
spectroscopy; (3) to compare unfinished and Wurlan finished...
One purpose of this study was to evaluate three commercial
detergents by comparing their removals at 70 and 120°F. of palmitic
acid and clay components of a simulated natural soil which had been
applied to wool yarns by immersion and abrasion methods. These
detergents were a built soap and two...
Thirteen fabrics containing "Rovana" (saran), "Verel" (mod-acrylic), and rayon were examined for colorfastness to light and laundering,
shrinkage, tensile strength, elongation, abrasion-resistance
and flammability. The fabrics represented three weaves: plain,
twill and leno; and three colors: white, eggshell and turquoise. The
fiber contents, according to the manufacturers, varied from 20...
The purpose of this study was to assess reactions to and
opinions about color and color performance by women ages 45 to 54
years. Hypotheses were developed to test relationships and differences
between both perception and acceptance of color change and:
1) the three primary colors, 2) the two methods...
This thesis is a study of the clothing behavior of disadvantaged
adolescents in a rural community as it relates to the factors of social class, security level, peer acceptance and self-selection of clothing.
This study was selected because very little research in clothing
behavior has been done in disadvantaged rural...
The presence of diacetyl in sufficient concentrations to cause
off-flavor in beer is a serious economic problem affecting the brewing
industry. Research was carried out in an attempt to provide an
industrially acceptable method for reducing diacetyl to safe levels
in beer, with additional applications to frozen concentrated orange
juice,...
Mysids were sampled seasonally from the intertidal
zone of the beach to a depth of 61 m offshore along the
mid-Oregon coast. The seven mysid species collected
occurred in characteristic bathymetric zones, with members
of different genera occupying overlapping zones
while members of the same genus occupied largely different
zones....
Calcium concentration and its regulation was examined in
tissues of larval Rana catesbiana. Considerable variability was
found in tissue calcium that could not be explained by stage of development.
A seasonal effect was observed, with plasma calcium decreasing
and muscle calcium increasing during winter. Total plasma
calcium concentration reflects, within...
