The purpose of the study was to develop, implement, and evaluate a learning center for arts education in a third grade classroom. Specifically, the learning center was designed to increase opportunities for arts education in an elementary classroom, to emphasize the unity of the arts by offering parallel instruction in several art media, and to provide a resource for arts instruction which would not require direct teacher supervision, Arts included in the study were visual art, music, and movement.

The mechanism of steroid transport and corticosterone secretion in the zona fasciculata-reticularis of rat adrenal cortex was investigated by measuring the subcellular distribution and concentrations of steroids following ACTH stimulation.

The pigment-lipid complexes of the phytopathogen, Xanthomonas juglandis, were studied. Experiments were designed to determine the cellular location of the complexes and whether or not they are associated with protein.

The studies reported herein indicate that, under the conditions commonly employed for cultivating Neisseria gonorrhoeae, colonial type T1 and T2 cultures of the organism dissociate to type T3 and T4 forms, and that this occurs both among populations of the organism grown in liquid media as well as in individual, well-isolated colonies grown on solid media.

Life histories, trophic dynamics , abundances, and microdistrubution of Trichptera were investigated in the Flathead River, Montana, from January 1977 through August 1979. Thirty-six Trichoptera species representing 9 families were collected from 5th order tributaries and the 6th order Mainstream River.

The purposes of the study were to identify laces located on the fifteen white dresses worn between 1900 and 1922. The dresses selected for study were chosen from the Dallas Fashion Museum located at North Texas State University. All laces were identified and the history of each lace was traced.

The principal objective is to study the impact of the land reform program in Iran on rural-urban migration, primarily on landless peasants who consist of more than 2/3 of the rural population. The interrelationships between economic, political, and social factors are stressed.

This composition is a single-movement chamber work and has a total duration of approximately fourteen and one-half minutes. The instrumentation of the piece includes two Eb alto saxophones, two Bb tenor saxophones, two Bb trumpets, tenor trombone, bass trombone, four narrators, piano, double bass, trap set, triangle and chimes. The entire work is organized durationally through the use of eight simultaneous, independent click tracks. This information provides the tempos and is sent to the performers via headphones.

The instrumentation is flute, B-flat clarinet, bassoon, violin, viola, and cello. The individual movements last four and one-half, four, and six minutes, respectively, with a total duration of fourteen and one-half minutes. The first movement is a theme and a series of nine sections that employ the variation principle. The second movement is characterized by its slow tempo and by its texture which is almost entirely homophonic. It is primarily concerned with gradual timbral changes created by special effects. The third movement, which is rapid in tempo, employs one main theme which provides four motives. This material is developed throughout the movement by frequent changes in meter, range, texture, and dynamics.

Te Deum is a concert work for orchestra (woodwinds in pairs plus contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, tuba, percussion, and strings) and a large mixed chorus. The text is derived from The Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. In the interest of intelligibility, the text setting is mostly syllabic. The single through-composed movement, lasting about eleven minutes, is divided into three principal sections. Section two contains the primary climax of the work. The basic musical material of the piece is a set of motives which are altered and combined in various ways.

The purpose of this study was to develop and field test an audiovisual interest inventory suitable for use in group testing situations where known or suspected reading disabilities are extant in testees. The Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory was selected for use as a model in developing the audiovisual development.

New Zealand albino rabbits exhibited calcified aortic plaques and maximum average serum cholesterol levels of 1200 mg percent after twenty-three weeks on an atherogenic diet (250 to 500 mg percent cholesterol in ten percent corn oil; 200,00 I.U. vitamin D3 per month). One month following termination of the atherogenic diet, rabbits were treated with disodium edetate (Na2EDTA, 50 mg/kg body weight) via the marginal ear vein, on alternating days for a total of twenty infusions each. Aortae were examined for tissue calcium both quantitatively (direct microcomplexometric analysis) and histologically six weeks after completion of EDTA chelation therapy.

During the Baroque Era (1600-1750) many motets were written for one solo voice, representing a major departure from the polyphonic motet settings which had been produced since before 1250. The study traces the development of the solo motet from it s first appearance in the Centro concerti ecclesiastici of Lodovico Grossi do Viadana in 1602 up to 1750, when the style began to deteriorate along with the Neapolitan opera style.

The problem considered was that many direct sales personnel do not recruit others into the sales force even though monetary rewards and recognition for achievement can be earned for successful recruitment. The purpose of this study was to identify attitudes that were characteristic of consultants who were successful recruiters within a direct sales organization.

Our research has shown the carotenoid pigment to be found in the cell membrane of C. poinsettiae. These results suggest that the pigment is bound to protein and that protein tertiary structure is important in the binding.
