Show moreIt is mandatory from the research on the Bornoff and Suzuki methods that the entire gamut of string education owe Dr. Bornoff and Mr . Suzuki for their outstanding contributions, dedication and commitment to the promotion of strings around the world. Their results are so remarkable and so convincing that both authors have attracted teachers and artists from many lands both near and far in an in-depth study into their methods. It is through this greater search for knowledge and understanding that one can become a more successful teacher. This study has been undertaken to satisfy the need for a mora progressive string method or pedagogy in lieu of outdated string methods used year after year. Such a study has enabled the author to gain a thorough and in-depth understanding of the sequential teaching techniques of the Bornoff String Method and the Suzuki String Method and has helped her lead her string students to a more continuous and successful musical achievement. Research conducted on the philosophy and biography of Dr. Bornoff and Mr. Suzuki has shed important light on the "make-up" of their methods. A study of comparisons and similarities of both approaches was conducted and presented in Chapter VI. The author utilized information acquired from all available literature (periodicals, books, reports and music) and summer workshops along with her teac:bing experience to construct Chapter V on the teaching techniques of both methods. In the conclusion, the author reveals her combined plan of the teaching techniques of both methods, according to the highest of ideals for developinc one's potential to the fullest.

These differences are governed by geographic origin and period of time of construction. The purpose of this study was to gather data on organs of various periods of time, size and type of construction. The results of this investigation further point out the differences between the classic, or Baroque organ as favored in Germany and the organ in Austria. These differences are the result in no small measure of the different use the organ had in Protestant Germany and Roman Catholic Austria. The method of research consisted of a personal inspection by the writer of some thirty-six organs while on a trip through Germany and Austria in 1970. The results are described in this study.

The method of research used consisted of questionnaires sent to string specialists, elementary principals and fifth-grade teachers. These data were tabulated by the researcher. The data were presented with reference to numbers of participating students, number and frequency of classes, duration of the experimental program and working condition for the classes. These were illustrated through a series of tables and figures with an analysis of each and interpretation of the results and recommendations for improving future experimental string classes. It was determined that all of the string teachers had similar problems in scheduling classes, transporting instruments, and finding adequate classroom space. The mutual strength of the program was the enthusiasm of the fifth-grade students during the five days of class instruction.

Show moreFor radiowave propagation on earth-space communication links at high frequencies such as Ka-band, the effect of atmospheric gaseous absorption (mainly due to oxygen and water vapor) is the primary cause of attenuation. This thesis examines the applicability of the surface based Crane's model currently employed by the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) propagation experiment for estimation of attenuation due to atmospheric gaseous absorption (AGA), developed for Oklahoma, to sub-tropical climate regions such as Florida. The Microwave Propagation Model is used as a basis of comparison since it uses the direct atmospheric measurements (temperature, relative humidity, and pressure) made at different levels of the atmosphere with radiosonde instrumentation. The AGA was individually examined for oxygen and water vapor. Finally, accuracy of the Crane's model was verified by computing the attenuation results using real acquired data for both models and comparing their results in various ways for several months.

Show moreTeaching the total percussion class in the junior high school is an entirel,y new concept. Total percussion is currently being taught in colleges and some of the larger high schools throughout the n tion. The total percussion class in the junior high school has no text or guide for the pupil or the teacher. Th author of this paper endeavors to present a text for the junior high school instrumental music teacher. The content have been tried during the last six years by the author and proven successful Student in many percussion classes have been taught to specialize on only one instrument. In many cases the teacher has found that specialization on snare drum or bass drum is a handicap when the student is asked to perform music written for other percussion instruments. The total percussion classes are usually composed of students who have the desire to become proficient on more th one percussion instrument. The instrumental music teacher should attempt to select students with a background in piano or some other melodic instrument, and enlist students with good physical coordination. A major criteria in the selection of a text for the total percussion class is the inclusion of basic fundamentals on all of the percussion instruments: bells, marimba, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals and tympani. Starting with the rote to note method, the teacher should lead the class into the fundamental stick positions, rhythmic counting, dynamics, and other basic problems of percussion instruments. At the end of the first year of study the students should be introduced to more advanced percussion such as trap sets and multi-percussion solos and ensembles. More complex rhythmic patterns are presented to the class in addition to an expanded repertoire. Musical independence and leadership is encouraged and critical observations of other students' performance as well as self criticism is developed. The total percussion class in the public schools is very new. More and more instrumental music teachers and band directors are arriving at the conclusion that the only solution to the demands of the contemporary composers on percussionists is the total percussion class. The author found that a text for the total percussion class for junior high school students was not available. It was with this thought that the author endeavored to write a text for junior high school instrumental music teachers who mi ght be interested in teaching a total percussion class.

Show moreFerromanganese nodules are small, irregular lumps of precipitated metal oxides composed primarily of manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, and nickel which accrete in deep ocean environments. The nodules have mining value and commercial recovery is expected in the near future. As present techniques for the detection and evaluation of ferromanganese nodule deposits are cumbersome and time consuming, an investigation of the specific acoustic impedance of the nodules is conducted in an effort to determine the feasibility of surveying ferromanganese nodule deposits via side-scan sonar techniques. An acoustic transmission line (impedance tube) is utilized to investigate the specific acoustic impedance of the ferromanganese nodule samples. The accuracy of the experimental technique is evaluated using a steel reference cylinder. Results of the tests (on the ferromanganese samples) indicate that the specific acoustic impedance of a typical ferromanganese nodule sample is 2.07 +- .15 x 106 Rayls. Suggestions for future investigations are also presented.

Dosimetric uncertainty in very small (
Show moreDosimetric uncertainty in very small (< 2 x 2 cm2) photon fields is notably higher that has created research questions when using small-field virtual cone with variable multileaf collimator (MLC) fields. We evaluate the efficacy of the virtual cone with a fixed MLC field for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of small targets such as trigeminal neuralgia. We employed a virtual cone technique with a fixed field geometry, called fixed virtual cone (fVC), for small target radiosurgery using the EDGE (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) linac. The fVC is characterized by 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm high-definition MLC field of 10 MV flattening filter-free (FFF) beam defined at 100 cm SAD, while jaws are positioned at 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm. A spherical dose distribution equivalent to 5 mm cone was generated by using 10–14 non-coplanar partial arcs. The dosimetric accuracy of this technique was validated using the SRS MapCHECK (Sun Nuclear Corporation, FL) and the EBT3 (Ashland Inc., NJ) film based on absolute dose measurements. For the quality assurance (QA), 10 treatment plans for trigeminal neuralgia consisting of various arc fields at different collimator angles were analyzed retrospectively using 6 MV and 10 MV FFF beams, including the field-by-field study (n = 130 fields). Dose outputs were compared between the SRS MapCHECK measurements and Eclipse treatment planning system (TPS) with Acuros XB algorithm (version 16.1). In addition, important clinical parameters of 15 cases treated for trigeminal neuralgia were evaluated for the clinical performance. Moreover, dosimetric (field output factors, dose/MU) uncertainties considering a minute (± 0.5–1.0 mm) leaf shift in the field defining fVC, were examined from the TPS, SRS diode (PTW 60018) measurements, and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.

Show moreMetabolic dysfunction can present in conditions like cancer and neurodegeneration. Optical imaging techniques were employed to assist in the diagnosis and understanding of disease pathologies. A cryomesoscopy modality was designed and incorporated into an imaging device to investigate metabolic biomarkers. The new lens design provided higher magnifications and resolution of tissue data. The improved imaging capabilities gave detailed access to structural and biochemical changes that occur in disease progression. Cryomesoscopy was applied to study mitochondrial redox state in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s and cancer. The optical imaging tools were utilized to visualize the livers and kidneys of mutated mice and investigate their metabolic states. The results in both investigations revealed oxidized metabolic states, a marker of oxidative stress and metabolic dysfunction. The cryomesoscopy system has proven instrumental in quantifying metabolic shifts and offers new insights into disease pathologies. Optical imaging can be applied to understanding metabolic mechanisms in many diseases.

Show moreThe primary objective of this research is the development a wind and solar-powered autonomous surface vehicle (WASP) for oceanographic measurements. This thesis presents the general design scheme, detailed aerodynamic and hydrodynamic aspects, sailing performance theory, and dynamic performance validation measurements obtained from a series of experiments. The WASP consists of a 4.2 meter long sailboat hull, a low-Reynolds number composite wing, a 2000 Watt-hour battery reservoir, a system of control actuators, a control system running on an embedded microprocessor, a suite of oceanographic sensors, and power regeneration from solar energy. The vehicle has a maximum speed of five knots and weighs approximately 350 kilograms. Results from four oceanographic missions that were conducted in the Port Everglades Intracoastal Waterway in Dania Beach [sic] Florida are presented. Water temperature, salinity and oxidation-reduction measurements recorded during these missions are also discussed. The combination of a mono-hull and solid wing in an autonomous system is a viable design for a long-range ocean observation platform. The results of four near-shore ocean observation missions illustrate the initial capabilities of the design. Future work aimed to further reduce both the mass of the wing design and the power requirements of the system will increase performance in all operating conditions and should be considered. Furthermore, the progression of the legal framework related to ocean vehicles must be pursued with respect to unmanned autonomous systems.

A direct thrust measurement system was designed for a waterjet propelled, free running USV. To induce sway velocity at the waterjet inlet, which was considered equivalent to the cross flow, circles of varying radii were performed at Reynolds Numbers between 3.48 x 106 and 8.7 x 106 and radii from 2.7 to 6.3 boat lengths. Sway velocities were less than twenty percent of mean forward speed with slip angles that were less than 20°. Thrust Loading Coefficients were compared to sway as a percent of forward speed. In small radius turns, no relationship was seen, while in larger radius turns, peaks of sway velocity corresponded with drops in thrust, but this was determined to be caused by reduced vehicle yaw in these intervals . Decoupling of thrust and yaw rate is recommended for future research.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to develop and explore the factor structure of a retrospective assessment instrument designed to identify the presence of early covert traumas in an individual’s history. Covert traumas are those which are psychosocial, and often interpersonal, in nature (Altobelli, 2017). While a deficiency in the available body of research addressing such traumas currently exists, limited research suggests that experiences of such phenomena may affect individual potential across various domains of development, functioning, health, and well-being (van der Kolk, 2014). In addition, the residual effects of such traumas may exacerbate adverse adult outcomes, such as experiences of chronic pain, proclivities towards maladaptive forms of coping, and hindrances to academic and occupational performance and achievement (Felitti et al., 1998). Furthermore, some theorists propose that the impact of such traumas, especially when compounded, may cause more emotional harm than exposure to a single overtly traumatic event (Staggs, 2014).
