A Comparison of The Personal Property Tax Burden of Five Separate Groups of Business In Norton County
The subject of this thesis, A Comparison of the Personal Property tax burden of Five Separate Groups of Business in Norton County , was selected after much consideration and investigation. The purpose of the investigation is to find to what extent the personal property tax burden is borne by business and what group bears the heaviest burden. The first four chapters of this thesis cover materiel and data considered essential in discussing the problem of personal property tax burden of business in the state as it might be expected to affect Norton County. These chapters lay the background concerning the wealth of the several counties selected, the general trends in taxation in the state, and the data covering the general business of the five selected groups of business. Five principal groups of business have been selected as the basis of this thesis because of the completeness of the obtainable information. Seventy counties picked at random beginning at the north edge of Kansas and omitting every other tier of counties were selected as being a cross section of the entire business activity in the State. Certain other counties were included representing vital trade centers having larger cities and unusual importance in business. Adjoining counties were included in several instances because a large portion of the city\u27s population lived in the neighboring county or counties. These seventy counties represented two-thirds of the total counties of the state. The population of these counties represented 55 .4 per cent of the total population in the state. The sales in the seventy counties were equal to 81.31 per cent of the total sales for the entire state. The five groups of business operated 73.0 per cent of the stores in the state. The percentages indicate a cross section of the business activity in the selected counties during the year 1935
The Magic Eye - A Demonstration Experiment
The soft x-ray apparatus which was developed has been applied to the radiography of small biological specimens and other material requiring long wavelengths to produce sufficient contrast. Stereoscopic technique has also been used in order to provide three dimensional views of specimens
The Change of Phase on Reflection of Light from the Silvered Interfaces of an Etalon
In making wavelength determinations to the accuracy of one-thousandth of an Angstrom with a Fabry and Perot Etalon it is necessary to know the wavelength of the line to one-tenth of an Angstrom, the thickness of the etalon and the change of phase on reflection of the light from the interfaces of the etalon. This change of phase is a function of the wavelength, varies with the metal, the way it is deposited and with the surface upon which it is deposited. A separate determination must be made for each etalon. This change of phase is usually expressed as a correction applied to the wave length determination
Serviceable Homemade Apparatus
Four pieces of apparatus, a mounting for a gyroscope, a Newton\u27s second law of motion demonstration, a short wave oscillator and a stroboscope for measuring phase change in A. C. circuits are described. For the latter two the actual apparatus is shown. Each piece is an effective teaching device and can be made for a small fraction of the cost of purchasing similar equipment from the manufacturers. The ideas for these pieces of apparatus have been picked up in various places and no special claim for originality is made
Development of a Model High School Orientation Program
Educating children is, without a doubt, one of the largest tasks taking place today in the United States. Education is a big business and can be categorized as an investment to develop our human resources (Bodley and Shapiro, 1969). The National Center for Education Statistics (1990) reports that by the year 1993, $180 billion will be spent annually on elementary and secondary public education. Almost seven million professionals and support personnel are employed in public schools. Expenditures for public education constitute nearly four percent of the gross national product (Swanson and King, 1991)
The Zeeman Effect on the Hyperfine Structure of Optically Excited Mercury Resonance Radiation
Optically excited mercury resonance radiation was used as a light source to provide the sharpest possible hyperfine structure lines of Hg. 2537. This light source was placed in magnetic fields varying from zero to 2000 gauss. A lummer plate and a camera with a special quartz lens was used to secure the Zeeman hyperfine structure patterns. The patterns were analyzed by the newly installed micro photometer of the State University of Iowa. The measurements and theoretical interpretations are given
Parsons College Physics Museum
The experimental equipment of the museum which is portable was demonstrated and the other experiments were discussed briefly. It is found that the museum is very effective in popularizing Physics also that it is effective as an additional teaching aid
Breakout Session: Dissemination: Challenges and Successes in Working with Communities
Overview of the research dissemination goals and strategy of UMass Medical School\u27s Center for Mental Health Services Research (CMHSR), including: (1) Determine the needs of the community/ agency; (2) Form partnerships with members of the community/agencies; (3) Designate Resources (Fiscal/Personnel); (4) Share research findings with various groups (e.g. consumers, providers, and other stakeholders); (5) Self Evaluate/Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)
