The Eumenides is a single-movement composition for orchestra, chorus, and prepared electronic tape. It is based on the Orestoian trilogy, The Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides, by the classical Greek dramatist, Aeschylus. The text of the composition was formed by the extraction and amalgamation of certain ideas, key-words, and phrases from English translations of the plays made by Buckley, Hadas, Vellacott, and Lattimore, and also from the modern drama, Les Mouches, by the French writer-philospher, Jean-Paul Sartre. Three short passages of Gregorian Chant from the Liber Usualis are used in the coda section of the work.

This composition is based off the poem of the same name by Richard Sale. No particular harmonic plan was envisioned for Parts I, II and IV, because it was necessary for the harmonic scheme to be as fluid as the poetry. If the ideas of the text were similar some attempt was made to use a similar or modified melodic line or harmonic scheme. The structure of the text became the structure of the work. The motivating factor is the text, hence the many meter changes in order to keep pace with the poetry.

The Sacrilege of Alan Kent is a monodrama in nine scenes for baritone soloist, orchestra, and tape. This composition may be presented as a dramatic or concert work.

A crytological and nutritional study was conducted on Vitreoscilla stercoraria, ATCC 15218, and Vitreoscilla species, ATCC 13982. Cell and trichome morphology in broth cultures and on solid media were studied.

This investigation is concerned is concerned with how a commercial herbicide, dimethyl 2, 3, 5, 6-tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA) affects the growth, morphology, and physiology of foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) Beav.). The objectives were to examine the nature of morphological changes, to determine what physiological and chemical changes accompanied the morphological alterations and to obtain information about the mechanism by which DCPA is herbicidal.

The lecture recital was given April 23, 1973. A discussion of trends and parallels in Impressionist music and painting included information about specific technical devices and innovations related to and common to the arts of music and painting, as seen in the Miroirs of Ravel. Slides of Impressionist paintings were used as illustrations. The five pieces of the Miroirs were then performed by memory.

This population study of Quercus stellata in the Texas Cross Timbers evaluates that population by observation and sampling of 220 upland forest stands. The Texas Cross Timbers is divided into the East Cross Timbers (ECT) and the West Cross Timbers (WCT) by the Fort Worth Prairie.

The problem of this study is twofold: casting aluminum relief sculptures which have controlled diversified textural properties, and the development of a technical teaching process in the form of a pictorial documentation.

Previous reports have shown that killed cells of S. aureus potentiate the lethal effect of crude staphylococcal alpha toxin for mice. In the present study this synergistic effect has been demonstrated with highly purified preparations of alpha toxin. Time studies indicate that the active principle does not appear to be released until approximately two hours following administration of the whole cells.

Populations of all stages of three species of Hydropsychidae, Hydropsyche simulans, Cheumatopsyche campyla, and Cheumatopsyche lasia were sampled fro September, 1971, to August, 1972, on the Brazos River in Palo Pinto County, Texas. Supplemental observations relating to emergence, mating and oviposition, and larvae food habits were continued to July, 1973. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the life cycles and ecology of this Hydropsychidae complex.

This report describes the effects of methylglyoxal on several green and blue-green algae, its correlation with photosynthesis, and a possible explanation of its metabolic role in the algae.

Psalm is a composition for symphony orchestra. The duration is from twelve to fifteen minutes. The form is sonata-allegro. Tonal organization is twelve-tone, although melodic development is by traditional methods rather than by row technique. Tempo modulation has replaced the traditional tonal modulation of sonata form. The first theme provides the harmonic basis for the entire work after the introduction. The second theme is used extensively in the development. The development is a fugue in which the techniques of retrograde, inversion, diminution, and augmentation are used. As a study in textures, Psalm displays variety rather than development.

The microwave-resonant-cavity technique was employes as a probe to determine the presence of molecular ions of helium in a d.c.-discharge, helium-plasma filament placed coaxially in a TM010 mode cavity. The cavity-resonance profile was displayed on an oscilloscope, and the nature of the perturbation of this resonance was used to determine the nature of the ions present in the plasma stream.

The dissertation consists of four recitals: one chamber music recital, two solo recitals, and one lecture recital. The repertoire of these programs was chosen with the intention of demonstrating the capability of the performer to deal with problems arising in works of varying types and of different historical periods.

"The Crystalline Sense" is a composition in one movement for chamber orchestra with the following instrumentation: flute, oboe, clarinet in Bb (doubling bass clarinet in Bb), bassoon, horn in F, trumpet in Bb, trombone, percussion and strings. The composition is approximately nine minutes in length. The goals of the work are (1) to employ intra-sectional practices, (2) to derive all rhythmic ideas from the main themes, (3) to combine certain elements of chromatic, whole tone, and certain triadic structures into a valid compositional technique effective in both vertical and horizontal situations, (4) and to produce a piece of music of moderate difficulty which fully exposes each instrument technically and lyrically.

This investigation is concerned with change in school-directed aspirations of middle and upper-middle-class Jewish public high school students over a fifteen-year period of time.

Procedures for the isolation and characterization of Ascaris glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and actin are described. The properties of these proteins, including molecular weights, isoelectric points, kinetics, peptide maps, and amino acid compositions, are strikingly similar to the respective proteins from rabbit muscle.

The process of the organization of the orchestra began with the rise of opera; considered on a broad scale this process divides itself into two periods, the first terminated by the deaths of Bach and Handel (1600-1759) and the second beginning with the complete change of orchestral sound evident in the symphonies of Haydn and Mozart during the second half of the eighteenth century. It is the first of these two periods that witnessed the composers of art music exploiting the natural trumpet, an instrument long associated with court, camp, and field, to the extent that they developed a vast repertoire of trumpet music characterized by its virtuosic technical requirements.

The purpose of the present study is (1) to describe the North Texas State University organizational climate as perceived by undergraduate-and graduate-level students, (2) to compare their perceptions of institutional characteristics with students in other (norm group) universities throughout the nation, (3) to compare selected nominal subgroup data of the undergraduate-graduate student population in regard to their perception of the organizational climate, and (4) to provide sound information that is of use to administrative , faculty, and staff personnel that are interested in efficient and effective utilization of university manpower in order to facilitate the educational experiences that undergraduate-and graduate-level students receive during their tenure at the university.

The problem of this study is an analysis of activities in production typewriting, development of a teaching model, and establishment of production standards. The study has four main purposes which are: (1) to identify the time spent in keystroking, decision making, typing from longhand copy, erasing an original, typing and correcting one carbon copy, and proofreading; (2) to test the correlation between anxiety level and decision-making time, and IQ and decision-making time; (3) to analyze the differences in difficulty level of six production tasks and develop a teaching model; and (4) to discover the mean gross words per minute rate and total number of errors on six production tasks and develop production standards.
