This composition is a concerto in two movements and has a total duration of approximately twenty-two minutes. The First Movement is prefaced by an Introduction, while the Second Movement is concluded with an Epilogue. The bass trombone functions in speeding up the tempo when it is featured in solo capacity. The horn, however, functions in slowing down the tempo when featured as a solo instrument. The speeding up and slowing down processes follow the principles of metric modulation.

Triabolous is a three movement composition for trombone, woodwind quintet, and one percussionist. The three movements Agitato, Andante, and Allegro, are of equal length resulting in a total performance time of 15 minutes. The piece is primarily a trombone solo; however, the trombone does not function as a solo throughout the total composition. There are portions of every movement where the trombone is silent or added to the quintet as an auxiliary wind instrument.

The composition was written as a laboratory experience in contemporary music especially for the Symphonic Wind Ensemble of the Skyline Career Development Center in Dallas, Texas. Based upon the Greek myth of Icarus, the movements are entitled, "Imprisoned", "Flight" , and "The Fall." The approximate performance time is 17 minutes, 45 seconds.

Synphony Number Two is a composition in four movements for symphonic band requiring approximately nineteen minutes for performance. An unusual feature of this symphony is the vertical juxtaposition of movements two and three. Movement three begins thirty seconds after the beginning of the second movement, and the two movements finish together. Each uses different sections of the band, and two conductors are required.

The first movement is an introductory movement introducing thematic material used in the entire piece. The second movement contrasts the first by incorporating real time throughout the majority of the movement. The third movement is a composite or summary of material presented in the previous two movements.

Gilgamesh is a dramatic solo for contralto. An unusual feature of this project is the composition of two separate and distinct versions of the instrumental accompaniment. One version is for a large concert band with an expanded percussion section and is almost fourteen minutes in length. The other version is for a small ensemble consisting of piano, percussion (xylophone, 4 tom-toms and miscellaneous instruments) and prepared tape. It is eleven minutes in length.

DocumentUS is an original orchestra and choral composition by Stanley Garth Gibb, based on events in American history.

The problem of this study was the analysis of the pectoralis major during six antigravity exercises using electromyographc techniques. Thirty male subjects were used for the investigation from physical education classes at North Texas State University during the spring of 1976.

The purpose of this investigation was to develop a method of burning out expanded plastic patterns invested in ceramic shell molds. Technological information suggested that the procedure was not feasible because plastic expansion or gas combustion invariably spoiled the mold. However, burning out expanded plastic patterns would provide a practical method of using such materials in the sculptor's studio; combined with ceramic shells, the patterns would promote accurately detailed castings with ease and convenience.

This study is concerned with the history of the Student Use of English examination at North Texas State University in Denton, Texas. Conceived in 1944 and implemented in 1946, the examination serves as a measure to insure that marginal English students demonstrate a minimal proficiency in composition evidenced by a three and a half page essay written in topics related to their major fields.

The NAD+-linked malic enzyme from Ascaris suum has been studied with regard to its kinetic and catalytic properties. Possible relationships between these properties and the physiological functioning of the malic enzyme were examined.

Polyacrymalide gel isoelectric focusing (PAGIF) in thin-layer was used to resolve proteins of Mycoplasma spp., Acholeplasma spp. and of eight strains of Ureaplasma urealyticum (T-Strain). A mixture of urea, Triton X-100, and dithioerythritol was used to solubilize sonically disrupted cells.

In this investigation, the age and racial characteristics of older inner-city neighborhoods within seven Texas cities are examined. More specifically, a general thesis is developed which suggests that residentially integrated neighborhoods near the core of the city contain a relatively older white population and younger black residents.

The purpose of this study was to analyze, evaluate, expand, and implement instructional procedures designed in order to increase visual perceptual differentiation. The literature revealed visual perceptual differentiation to be pervasive and stable across situational variables.

The purposes of the study were to determine the effects of self-recording techniques upon competitive swimming times, to determine the relationship between stated level of aspiration and subsequent performance, and to determine the influence of success or failure upon stated levels of aspiration. Subjects were fifteen female high-school competitive swimmers. Five subjects utilized self-recording techniques and projected levels of aspiration; ten subjects did not. Data were analyzed by analysis of covariance and by regression analysis. Alpha was .05. Conclusions of this study were that self-recording techniques do not significantly affect competitive swimming times, that a strong relationship exists between stated level of aspiration and subsequent performance, and that successful and unsuccessful performances generate increases in stated levels of aspiration.

the problem with which this investigation deals is that of internal migration among Mexican-Americans living in the Southwest. Four factors, life cycle, family status, socioeconomic status, and housing and their effects on migration are considered.

This investigation concerned teaching specific parent skills and improving parent attitudes. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three techniques and combinations of techniques in teaching specific parent skills and improving parent attitudes. The techniques considered were microtraining, verbal reinforcement via immediate feedback, and traditional parent training.

The problem of this investigation was to determine whether knowledge of student personality, subculture, or place of residence could predict university student recreation participation for men and women. Factors of age, marital status, class in college, and Greek affiliation were also examined for any relationship to recreation participation of university men and women.

This study analyzes federal and state pollution control and abatement legislation and provides a one-volume working explanation of those laws applicable to business operations. This analysis is limited to legislation aimed at controlling air and water pollution, and solid waste management.

This investigation concerned determining certain factors which affect the activity of cyclopropane synthetase in L. plantarum. In vitro experiments showed the enzme to be sensitive to ionic strength and subject to product inhibition by S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleusidase, which relieves this inhibition by degrading SAH to adenine and ribosylhomocysteine.

Captain Stormfield, the main character in Mark Twain's last book, Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven (1909), appears numerous times--under either the Stormfield name or some other--in Twain's published and unpublished works. Scholar's since Train's death have given only passing or slight notice to the Stormfield character. His numerous appearances, however his pivotal function among several unfinished works, and his essential optimism must lead to an awareness of his significant role in Twain's fiction.

This study deals with the events after 1895 which led to a major reshaping of the Church of England's policy and organization in 1919. Those events, which included debates in Parliament, a Royal Commission, Prayer Book revision, special Church committees, and Private negotiations by Church leaders, finally resulted in the British Parliament passing the Enabling act of 1919. Significant persons and powerful influences were at work during these years to prevent, as well as promote change in the Established Church. This study will show what those influences were, and discuss persons significant in their work for or against reform.

The objective of this investigation is to begin to develop an understandable, reasonably valid, and objective merit rating system for professional workers. It is recognized that all conventional merit systems have significant shortcomings. Therefore, by using a results-oriented approach which combines the best features of the critical incident technique with those of the forced choice method, it is hoped to accomplish this goal.

The focus of this study is the relationship among (1) attitudes toward sex-based differentiation in adult leisure activities and socialization of boys and girls, (2) attitudes toward housekeeping, and (3) combinations of marital, maternal employment, and head of household statuses among Negro, Anglo, and Mexican-American women in three age categories and from two socio-economic levels.
