This project dissertation, entitled Death, Dying, and Grieving: Providing a Ministry of Caring, approaches the issue of establishing a ministry of caring for parishioners who are experiencing grief. Also included in this work is how the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, archaeology and psychology have attempted to address the issue of death and grief. A biblical history of death, dying, and grief is discussed and a theological framework for grieving. The dissertation gives a description of the development of a counseling group, support group and all of the intricacies involved in the institution of a ministry of caring for the Mount Ephraim Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Las emulsiones del tipo agua en aceite (w/o) y aceite en agua (o/w) están compuestas por una mezcla de aceite, agua, lodo y otros agentes. Se pueden encontrar en el proceso y/o en los vertidos de diferentes tipos de industrias, tales como refinerías de petróleo, plantas procesadoras de aceite de consumo, industrias farmacéuticas, industrias de alimentos, etc. El calentamiento de un material a una frecuencia de microondas depende de la frecuencia de la onda electromagnética y de las propiedades dieléctricas, así como de la acumulación de energía interna que va ligada a la profundidad de penetración del campo dentro del material. De este modo, el conocimiento preciso de las propiedades dieléctricas de los materiales es fundamental para conocer su comportamiento bajo la influencia de un campo electromagnético. El objetivo general de esta tesis es proponer métodos alternativos basados en la tecnología de microondas para monitorizar, caracterizar y/o separar emulsiones. Para ello, se determinaron los protocolos de preparación de emulsiones prototipo en el laboratorio, empleando dos fases distintas (ácido oleico y aceite mineral SAE 40), de composición similar a las encontradas en la industria. Paralelamente se ha seleccionado, montando y calibrando un sistema de medida de propiedades dieléctricas en un rango de frecuencias de 1 a 4 GHz (rango cercano a la frecuencia estándar de calentamiento f =2.45 GHz) y de esta manera se ha obtenido un amplio espectro de información del comportamiento dieléctrico de las emulsiones, que servirán para diseñar en una fase posterior aplicadores de microondas. En base a este estudio preliminar se planteó una experiencia piloto con emulsiones reales presentes en el proceso de extracción de aceite de palma africana, con el fin de determinar el efecto de las microondas en la separación y en la calidad del aceite recuperado. / Pérez Páez, R.

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the findings of research undertaken into the design manufacture and testing of a novel refrigeration compressor for use in packaged air conditioner units of the type used in railway passenger transport systems.

The welding of C-Mn steels using the pulsed current MIG welding process was investigated. Following initial work on the basic fusion characteristics, the process was applied to the production of closed butt joint linepipe welding and narrow gap welding (in the flat and H-V positions). The initial stage of the work covered the determination of pulse parameters for controlled metal transfer with a variety of wires and shielding gases. Basic bead-on-plate fusion characteristics were investigated 1n all welding positions and quantified in terms of the major welding variables of current and travel speed. Welding position was shown to have no effect on fusion behaviour. Successful full penetration closed butt root welds were produced in all welding positions. Heat input was shown to be the factor controlling bead dimensions. Close control over welding parameters are needed to maintain consistent bead sizes. Complete joint simulations were also made. The vertical-up technique was shown to give superior fusion characteristics with the process producing excellent quality results in all positions. Narrow gap MIG welding was shown to be feasible without wire manipulation at gap widths below 12 mm in the flat position. A wire manipulation technique gave excellent fusion characteristics with gap widths greater than 12 mm. A computer program was devised as a guide to the selection of process parameters and possible fusion behaviour. Modelling considerations showed that H-V position narrow gap welding would be feasible only with gap widths less than 10 ... A short experimental programme validated the predictions of fusion behaviour by the model and indicated the direction for future development work.

<p> The role of verbal hypotheses in concept identification was explored by manipulating three variables affecting the relation between verbalized rules and classification performance. (i) Verbalizing rules before and after classification changed subjects' cue-sampling strategies and the control of verbal hypotheses over sorting performance. (ii) The difficulty of stimulus description affected how subjects utilized verbal hypotheses, and whether verbalized rules completely specified the cues used for classification. (iii) The number of irrelevant attributes changed the relative efficiency of stimulus-learning over rule-learning for concept identification.</p> <p> These investigations demonstrate effective techniques for varying and evaluating the importance of verbal rules for classification; and suggest that subjects' prior verbal habits markedly affect the degree of reliance placed on verbal hypotheses in concept attainment.</p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

<p>When Ss on a card-sorting task were required to make a rapid sorting response prior to stating their rule on each trial, actual frequencies of correct classification were found to be significantly higher than the frequencies predicted from the Ss' trial-by-trial rules. These disparities were observed even though virtually every placement was consistent with the rule given on the same trial. No disparities were found when Ss stated their rule prior to placing each card.</p> <p>The observed disparities indicate that the stated rules were insufficient to describe all of the stimulus cues used in determining the placements made. They also suggest that verbal rules do not necessarily control above-chance sorting performance unless the experimental conditions encourage verbal control over responding.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

The lecture recital was given on August 8, 1978. The discussion of constructive features in Gabrielli's In ecclesiis (1615) and Canzon VIII à 8 (1615) and Stravinsky's In Memoriam Dylan Thomas established that the architecture of St. Mark's Cathedral and the selected works by the composers bear a simple number relation.
