Non-ideality in liquid mixtures: the prediction and measurement of thermodynamic excess functions
Thesis
Hewitt, F. A. (1976). Non-ideality in liquid mixtures: the prediction and measurement of thermodynamic excess functions

This thesis may be separated readily into three sectors: firstly, the mathematical prediction.of the excess functions of some well-known systems, and also of some new systems, the experimental data for which were gathered in the course of this work;...

A comparison of the effects of active and passive image-displacements on visual thresholds
Thesis
Judge, S. J. (1976). A comparison of the effects of active and passive image-displacements on visual thresholds

The effects on visual thresholds of active displacement of the peripheral retinal image (produced by saccadic eye movement) and passive displacement of the peripheral retinal image (produced by field rotation) were compared. The purpose of this compa... Read More about A comparison of the effects of active and passive image-displacements on visual thresholds.

Pathways to literacy: an evaluation of two programmes for children with reading difficulties
Thesis
Striker, C. (1976). Pathways to literacy: an evaluation of two programmes for children with reading difficulties

The investigation was concerned with ways of helping children with reading difficulties. One of the main reasons for these children failing in reading seems to be a complete lack of interest in books, stemming from the fact that reading is regarded a...
