It was assumed that the "creative individual" is free to use his imaginal processes to enrich his perception of the world. This study recognized that the perception of good Gestalten of the world is a function of the perceiver, his needs, defense mechanisms, integration, and the characteristics of the stimulus-field. When the stimulus is ambiguous, as it is in the Rorschach, the perceiver has to draw on his own resources more heavily than if the stimulus was structured.</p>Degradation of Complex Carbon Compounds by Marine Actinomycetes2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108067/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108067/"><img alt="Degradation of Complex Carbon Compounds by Marine Actinomycetes" title="Degradation of Complex Carbon Compounds by Marine Actinomycetes" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108067/small/"/></a></p><p>The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study of marine bacteria, molds and actinomycetes in regard to their ability to degrade certain pure and mixed complex compounds possibly occurring in the lagoon waste traps of the Texas Gulf Coast.

The ability of these organisms to produce by-products in lakes and streams, which renders the water unpalatable, is of considerable public health importance. It is desirable that the waterworks industry has as much information as possible concerning the factors that contribute to the growth of these organisms. Since it appears that the aquatic actinomycetes may be isolated from most fresh-water sources, the problem of diversified environments and nutritional requirements offers an excellent field of investigation. The fresh-waters of the world contain variable quantities of electrolytes that may determine in part the biological activity of these organisms. The unsolved questions in this instance are concerned with the electrolytes present and their quantitative effects on the growth and development of these forms.</p>The Effects of Heparin on the Development of Resistance to Antibiotics by Staphylococcus Aureus2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108264/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108264/"><img alt="The Effects of Heparin on the Development of Resistance to Antibiotics by Staphylococcus Aureus" title="The Effects of Heparin on the Development of Resistance to Antibiotics by Staphylococcus Aureus" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108264/small/"/></a></p><p>Since heparin combines with some antibiotics to decrease the toxicity of the antibiotic to the patient, the purpose of this investigation is to determine whether it has any effect upon the development of resistance to antibiotics by Staphylococcus aureus.</p>Food Consumption of College Athletes2015-08-15T22:32:30-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699711/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699711/"><img alt="Food Consumption of College Athletes" title="Food Consumption of College Athletes" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699711/small/"/></a></p><p>"The present study was undertaken to calculate the nutritive value of the food consumed by male college athletes eating a self-selected diet in the college athletes dining room"--3.</p>In-Group and Out-Group Sociometric Choices for Two Groups of College Students Experiencing Different Educational Procedures2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108065/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108065/"><img alt="In-Group and Out-Group Sociometric Choices for Two Groups of College Students Experiencing Different Educational Procedures" title="In-Group and Out-Group Sociometric Choices for Two Groups of College Students Experiencing Different Educational Procedures" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108065/small/"/></a></p><p>The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the social and interpersonal aspect of the Austin College Plan of educational development by carrying out a plan of evaluation designed by the Hogg Foundation of the University of Texas and the Psychology Department of North Texas State College.</p>Linear Order2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108051/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108051/"><img alt="Linear Order" title="Linear Order" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108051/small/"/></a></p><p>This paper will be concerned with some fundamental properties of a line.

The endocrinology phase was concerned with studying the changes in endocrine function following the application of a stress agent. X-irradiation was chosen as the stressor in order to determine any difference in effect of this stressor from others which have been studied, e. g. heat, cold, metabolic poisons. Liver slices taken from rats at various time intervals following whole body X-irradiation were tested for their ability to metabolize hydrocortisone from a Krebs-Ringer solution.</p>Military Reconstruction in District Five2015-08-15T22:32:30-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699496/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699496/"><img alt="Military Reconstruction in District Five" title="Military Reconstruction in District Five" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699496/small/"/></a></p><p>"As the American Civil War was brought to a close in April, 1865, the entire nation was plunged into an era which was characterized by unrest and turmoil. The North had before it the task of reconstructing the former Confederate states so that they would be able to resume their former positions in national councils, while the South was called on to adjust to a way of life which was drastically different. In military District Five, formed as a result of congressional control, as in the rest of the South, continued post-war controversy has tended to becloud appraisals of the period of military reconstruction. A fair evaluation requires examination of the primary sources inasmuch as secondary works on the era have continued to reflect sectional viewpoints. Such an evaluation reveals the need for a comprehensive re-interpretation of the entire era of military control of reconstruction under the congressional plan. This analysis of military government in District Five represents such a re-interpretation of one area of the post-war South."-- leaf iii.</p>Morphological and Physiological Changes in Micrococcus Pyogenes Var.

The melody and text have been of primary concern. The effects of the social and economic background of the times and the actual dramatic setting of the songs are given careful attention. It is not the purpose of this work to study the harmonic style of Purcell. This is admittedly a most intriguing and attractive subject. However, as the principal accompaniment is the continuo and the implied harmonies of his figured bass are not always clear the harmonic style will not be treated as an element of the solos. It is fully worthy of individual treatment which would be free to draw upon the vast instrumental examples of his work in a comprehensive study of his style. A complete survey of the songs is included in Appendix D for reference and for the information of the reader. It is hoped that the reader will be encouraged to pursue a closer study of these songs, and to consider their possible use today.</p>Gustav Holst as a Choral Composer: His Life, Factors Influencing His Compositions, His Place in English Music, and a Consideration of the Principal Stylistic Elements of His Choral Music2015-08-15T22:32:30-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699637/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699637/"><img alt="Gustav Holst as a Choral Composer: His Life, Factors Influencing His Compositions, His Place in English Music, and a Consideration of the Principal Stylistic Elements of His Choral Music" title="Gustav Holst as a Choral Composer: His Life, Factors Influencing His Compositions, His Place in English Music, and a Consideration of the Principal Stylistic Elements of His Choral Music" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699637/small/"/></a></p><p>"An amiable personality, not himself an unusually passionate man, HoIst has excited more violent passions than any other contemporary English composer. How difficult he is to assess as a creative artist is perhaps indicated by the extraordinary fluctuations in his reputation." For a number of years he was completely unknown and ignored, living a quiet and unhurried life as an obscure teacher. Then with a momentary flash, after outstanding works such as "The Planets," and the "Ode to Death," he was caught up in a wave of public approval that made him, for a time, the recipient of national and even international honors. He was awarded the gold medal by the Royal Philharmonic Society, was made a Fellow of the Royal Col.ege of Music, and was offered honorary degrees by American universities.</p>An Interpretive and Compositional Analysis of the Songs of Yrjö Kilpinen to Poems by Christian Morgenstern2016-11-15T10:54:02-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc935635/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc935635/"><img alt="An Interpretive and Compositional Analysis of the Songs of Yrjö Kilpinen to Poems by Christian Morgenstern" title="An Interpretive and Compositional Analysis of the Songs of Yrjö Kilpinen to Poems by Christian Morgenstern" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc935635/small/"/></a></p><p>This study examines the the songs of Yrjö Kilpinen and their use in the poems of Christian Morgenstern.</p>Introduction to the Theory of Games2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108041/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108041/"><img alt="Introduction to the Theory of Games" title="Introduction to the Theory of Games" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108041/small/"/></a></p><p>The purpose of this thesis is to provide a beginning graduate student in mathematics with the general theory underlying competition between rational, intelligent opponents.

Water samples from top, middle, and bottom levels of these four stations were taken on monthly intervals during periods of homothermousity and on two-week intervals during periods of thermal stratification. These samples were analysed for the cations sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and for the anions normal carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, chloride, nitrate, water hardness (expressed as calcium carbonate), and phosphates. Determinations for dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, temperature, and specific conductance were performed. Using these data, vertical profiles of the lake at these four stations were established. From the study of these data it was concluded that the waters of the Red River improve in quality coincident with impoundment, and that these improvements are sufficient to warrant the use of these waters.</p>Mercury-Sensitized Photochemical Reactions of Isopropyl Alcohol2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108033/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108033/"><img alt="Mercury-Sensitized Photochemical Reactions of Isopropyl Alcohol" title="Mercury-Sensitized Photochemical Reactions of Isopropyl Alcohol" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108033/small/"/></a></p><p>This thesis describes the reactions of mercury-sensitized isopropyl alcohol when bombarded with 2537 Angstrom radiation.</p>Methods Used to Classify Men Students Enrolled in the Physical Education Required Program at Selected Colleges and Universities in Texas2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108040/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108040/"><img alt="Methods Used to Classify Men Students Enrolled in the Physical Education Required Program at Selected Colleges and Universities in Texas" title="Methods Used to Classify Men Students Enrolled in the Physical Education Required Program at Selected Colleges and Universities in Texas" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108040/small/"/></a></p><p>The purpose of this study is 1. to determine methods currently used by institutions surveyed by the study to classify men students enrolled in physical education required programs; 2.
