Overweight women who join weight reducing clubs and the internal-external personality trait
(1975)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between attempts made by overweight women to lose weight and the internal-external (I-E) personality dimension. It was hypothesized that: 1) Overweight ... -
Abstract model for measure and category
(1975)This thesis is an attempt to establish an abstract model for Lebesgue measure and Baire category. In the introduction, we list several similarities between Lebesgue measurable sets and sets having the property of ... -
Evaporation of highly charged waterdrops in the atmosphere
(1975)The evaporation of charged waterdrops is accompanied by negligible loss of charge; consequently, as the surface area falls, the electrostatic pressure increases. When a critical value is reached, one or more highly charged ... -
Theory of inner measures : an axiomatic approach
(1975, c197)This thesis presents an axiomatic approach to the theory of inner measures. In Chapter I, we recognize that an axiomatic approach analogous to that for the theory of outer measures is not appropriate: such an approach ... -
Reinforced practice and reduction of fear of water in children
(1976)Reinforced practice was used to treat children for fear of water. The primary measure of fear reduction was a behavioural task involving approach and entry to water. A comparison of pre-and post-test scores on the ... -
Conditioned taste aversion in selectively bred rat strains
(1976)Development of conditioned taste aversion was investigated in five strains of rats. The Roman low-avoidance conditioning (RLA/Lu) and the Maudsely reactive CMR/Har/Lu) strains learned taste aversion faster than the Roman ... -
A critical assessment of economic reforms in the COMECON Eastern Europe and its lessons for India
(1976)The general theme of the work is to review the recent economic reforms in the COMECON Eastern Europe. Besides discussing the nature and inevitability of economic reforms in these countries, it attempts to show that contrary ... -

Low temperature pyrolysis of wood waste materials
(1976)The pyrolysis of jack pine bark, jack pine sawdust, and cellulose powder has been studied by thermogravimetric (TG), and isothermal weight-loss methods in both inert and oxidizing atmospheres. The effects of particle ... -
Studies in Group VIII metal-phosphine-tetrahydroborate chemistry
(1976)Co(I) and nickel(T) complexes containing both bidentate and monodentate tetrahydroborate have been prepared from the reductions of divalent metal compounds in the presence of triphenylphosphine with ethanolic sodium ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the electrical conductivity of indium antimonide
(1976)The electrical conductivity of n-type InSb in the temperature range 77K - 300K has been calculated by using the Boltzmann equation with a relaxation time ansatz. The tv/o dominant scattering mechanisms in this temperature ... -
Studies of the catalytic activities and resistance to sulphur poisoning of P-3 nickel and P-3 cobalt borides
(1976)The heterogeneous liquid-phase catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes over partially hydrogenated P-3 nickel and P-3 cobalt borides has been investigated. -
