Color Preferences of Children in a Dallas Public School (open access)

Color Preferences of Children in a Dallas Public School

The problem of this study examines two questions which were posed. First, would color preferences of children in the N.W. Harllee School of the Dallas Independent School District be the same as those found in other studies of color preferences of elementary school children? Second, would there be differences in choices made by low academic aptitude groups and high academic aptitude groups? In an attempt to answer these questions, a series of tests was devised and administered to children grades IV through VII.

Measures of Local Fiscal Ability to Supoort Public Schools (open access)

Measures of Local Fiscal Ability to Supoort Public Schools

The primary purposes of this study are fourfold, namely: (1) to summarize the writings of specialists in school finance and public finance which are judged to have significance concerning the nature, source, control, and measurement of local fiscal ability; (2) to develop an analytical evaluation of the "bases" of the proposed measures; (3) to develop a criterion of the relative taxpaying ability of Arkansas counties in terms of the actual valuation of real property; and (4) to determine the significance of the association among the three measures and the relative significance of the degree of relationship of each measure to the criterion.

A Study of the Friedel-Craft Reactions of Phenolic Ethers (open access)

A Study of the Friedel-Craft Reactions of Phenolic Ethers

The original purpose of this investigation was to prepare a series of diketones. However, since considerable difficulty was encountered in the preparation of these diketones, attention was shifted to a study of the Friedel-Craft reactions of phenolic ethers and to the reaction between phenolic ethers and dicarboxylic acids with boron trifluoride as a catalyst.

The Treatment of Nature in Thomas Hardy's Six Major Novels

The purpose of this thesis is to examine Thomas Hardy's treatment of nature in his major works. His interpretation of nature was sharply divergent from the traditional viewpoint regarding the natural world, and it was the direct antithesis of those interpretations of nature made by the writers who had preceded him.

A Proposal for Determining the Electro-Magnetic Form Factor of the Pion (open access)

A Proposal for Determining the Electro-Magnetic Form Factor of the Pion

The possibility of measuring the electromagnetic form factor of the pion by extrapolation of the cross section for e/sup -/ + p 1100 deg C are n + The effects of /sup +/ + e/sup -/ was investigated. The method is based on the existence of a pole in the electropionproduction scattering amplitude as a function of the invariant momentum-transfer of the nucleon. The residue of this pole is the pion form factor multiplied by a known coefficient. Since the pole lies slightly outside the physical region of the invariant momentum transfer, an extrapolation of the experimental data is required. An approximate calculation of the electropion-production cross section was made in order to estimate the experimental accuracy necessary for a significant extrapolation. Accuracy is required which is an order of magnitude better than that achieved at present in similar experiments. (auth)

Independent Yields of Isomeric Pairs in Nuclear Reactions (open access)

Independent Yields of Isomeric Pairs in Nuclear Reactions

The Cd/sup 115m/ and Cd/sup 115/ isomers produced in 12- to 340Mev proton bombardments of U/sup 238/ were isolated by radiochemical methods. The cumulative yield ratios of Cd/sup 115/Cd/sup 115m/Cd/ were determined. In the 45- Mev heliumion flssion of uranium, an estimation of the independentyield ratio of Pm/sup 148/ (5.3-day) to Pm/sup 148/ (43-day) was made. In the deuteron fission of uranium at about 20 Mevs an estimate of the independent-yield ratio of Nb/sup 95m/ to the total niobium of mass 95 was made. A literature survey on experimental isomer ratios from fission was made. The yield ratio of Sc/sup 44// Sc/sup 44/ was measured in Sc/sup 45/ ( alpha , alpha n)Sc/sup 44/ reactions with helium ions of energies between 20 and 43 Mev and at 320 Mev. The Sc/sup 44m/Sc/ sup 44/ ratio was measured in K/sup 41/( alpha ,n)Sc/sup 44/ reactions at 10 and 43 Mev. The compound-nucleus model was used to calcalate the Sc/sup 44m/Sc/sup 44/ ratios produced by the reactions /sup n44/ and Sc/sup 45/(p,pn)Sc/sup 44/ at energies 0.4 Mev above threshold. Agreement between the experimental and calculated Sc/sup 44m/Sc/sup 44/ ratio was obtained for the K/sup 41/(l0-Mev alpha ,n)Sc/sup 44/ reaction. A classical knock-on …

The Production of Neutral Hyperons by 5-Bev π$sup -$ Mesons (open access)

The Production of Neutral Hyperons by 5-Bev π$sup -$ Mesons

Neutral hyperons produced by 5-Bev The effects of /sup -/ mesons incident on a large propane bubble chamber are analyzed in detail with respect to production cross sections and angular distributions of production and decays and the A lifetime is measured. The cross section for neutralhyperon (Y/sup 0/) production by the reaction The effects of /sup -/ + p 1100 deg C are Y/sup 0/ + K is 0.98 sintering time 0.16 mb. The cross section for carbon mpacting ( The effects of - + C 1100 deg C are Y/sup 0/ + K) is 6.05 sintering time 0.89 mb. The mean Svlvania Electr decay time is (3.12 sintering time 0.34) x 10/sup -10/ sec. The corrected lifetime is observed to be (3.23 sintering time 0.36) x 10/sup -10/ sec. Although the up-down decay asymmetry for Svlvania Electr hyperons is not significantly different from zero, the fore-aft decay angular distribution is asymmetric; alpha P = -0.31 sintering time 0.12 where the decay proton distribrtion along the Svlvania Electr direction of motion has been examined. This is suggested as evidence for nonconservation of parity in the production interaction. The Svlvania Electr -production angular distribution is peaked backward in the production center …

Complete Determination of Polarization for a High-Energy Deuteron Beam (open access)

Complete Determination of Polarization for a High-Energy Deuteron Beam

please delete the no. 17076<><DSN>13:017077<ABS>The P/sub 1/ multigroup code was written for the IBM-704 in order to determine the accuracy of the few- group diffusion scheme with various imposed conditions and also to provide an alternate computational method when this scheme fails to be sufficiently accurate. The code solves for the spatially dependent multigroup flux, taking into account such nuclear phenomena is slowing down of neutrons resulting from elastic and inelastic scattering, the removal of neutrons resulting from epithermal capture and fission resonances, and the regeneration of fist neutrons resulting from fissioning which may occur in any of as many as 80 fast multigroups or in the one thermal group. The code will accept as input a physical description of the reactor (that is: slab, cylindrical, or spherical geometry, number of points and regions, composition description group dependent boundary condition, transverse buckling, and mesh sizes) and a prepared library of nuclear properties of all the isotopes in each composition. The code will produce as output multigroup fluxes, currents, and isotopic slowing-down densities, in addition to pointwise and regionwise few-group macroscopic cross sections. (auth)

Control Aspects of Very High Flux Research Reactors (open access)

Control Aspects of Very High Flux Research Reactors

Submitted to Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. The computation of reactor characteristics over a fuel cycle in a way suitable to the investigation of the control aspects of the reactor problem is considered. The dynamic problem including as independent variables the neutron energy, the spaces and time was studied. An additional condttion of versatility in the method used to obtain the solutions is necessary to explore the control aspects of the problem. The normal possibilities of the analog computers were surveyed, and a method was found to solve the reactor dynamic problem. The classical approach of considering the neutron energy dependency in groups and the spatial dependency in reactor regions is used. Only cases of regular symmetry are considered, so that the reactor three dimensional configuration is reduced by analytical methods to the study involving one space coordinate. Time is considered as a continuous variable. The Mighty Mouse Deactor is simulated, and the analog results are compared against published data. With the spatial dependency represented by three core and three reflector regions, the fast and slow flux distributions are within 5% of the digital computer solution of the same problem. At the end of the fuel cycles the flux distribution is essentially …
