An investigation into the spelling ability of English-speaking and Afrikaans-speaking pupils in South African schools

  • Description: The parlous state in which the English language finds itself in South Africa, both in its written and speech forms, is the cause ot grave concern to most English-speaking citizens, and to many Afrikaans-speaking people as well. This is the case not only in the commercial world and the civll service, but also in the schools and universities, and in fact in most walks of life. Although we are conscious of this state of affairs, and can quote many examples of the poor quality of English used, we have no measuring device through which we can assess exactly how bad the language used by any given group of people is. It is not possible to compare the performance in English of a certain school with standard English and to express the result as a percentage score. The aim of this investigation was to find out how well, or how badly, South African school children spell, and to compare the performances of English- and Afrikaansspeaking pupils. It was felt that the results would provide some concrete evidence and fairly accurate data which could be used to assess the standard of English spelling in our schools, and to pinpoint some of the major weaknesses. The writer hoped, thus, that the investigation might be of some practical usefulness to teachers of English spelling, and as spelling is basic to the written word and to some extent to the spoken word, it might make some small contribution to the drive towards better English in South African schools.

  • Description: This thesis describes the investigation carried out of the radio noise emitted by the planet Jupiter on 18 Mc/s and 22 Mc/s. Chapter I gives a brief introduction and outlines radioastronomical as well as astronomical ideas concerning Jupiter. A detailed survey of the research done to date including some of the hypotheses formulated by previous workers is presented in Chapter II . Chapter III deals with the apparatus used in this research. Two similar sets of apparatus were used. The aerials were folded dipoles. The signals were fed to the receiver, an R 206 , via a 300 ohm impedance line. To increase the gain an extra I -F. stage was included. This gave a gain of better than a 120 dB. To match the signals into the recorder a cathode follower was used. The operating procedure appears in the fourth chapter. The results obtained are discussed and tabulated at the end of the chapter. They agree with the findings made by previous workers, within the experimental limit. Histograms of the occurrence probability versus the revised System III coordinates are presented for each frequency and compared to previous ones. The final chapter contains the author ' s interpretation of the observed effects. A model based on a radiation analogous to the Cerenkov effect is found to be not inconsistent with the available data . Ending the chapter suggestions for further research are made.

  • Description: [From Introduction] The first step in the study of the thermal decompositions of solids is an examination of the kinetics, since this casts much light on the mechanism of the reaction. It must be borne in mind, however, that a theoretical expression, derived on the basis of a particular mechanism, even if it fits the observed experimental results, is not conclusive proof of the validity of the mechanism when applied to the decomposition under examination.

Aspects of form and style in Beethoven's string quartets

  • Description: Many books have been written which deal with the subject of form and style in Beethoven's works. Most writers, however, seem to be satisfied with superficial descriptions - in some cases merely programatic - which do not explain the underlying problems and treatment of form. Furthermore, no book exists, to my knowledge, which delves so deeply and with such detail as to deduce with almost certain accuracy the inner coherency of the form. It is the aim of this analysis to approach the problem in this way. The edition used for this purpose is that one published by Ernst Eulenberg Ltd. London WI, which was edited from the autograph M.S. by Professor Dr. Wilhelm Altman. No comparisons are made with other editions, and possible printer's and other errors are not considered. I chose the works to be studied here, the three quartets Op. 59, for two reasons: 1) the string quartet medium is one of the most suitable types of instrumental music for the study of form, 2) the Op. 59 quartets belong to a period in Beethoven's life when he was particularly intent upon experimentation in form and development of dimension.

Contributions to our knowledge of the biology of Machiloides Delanyi Wygodzinsky and Ctenolepisma Longicaudata Escherich : (Hexapoda Thysanura)

  • Description: Among the South African Thysanura, the order Lepismatoidea has spread over the whole sub-continent, while all except one species of the order Machiloidea are confined to the discontinuous forest belt which lies below the escarpment of the inland plateau. The Machiloidea are not , however, strictly confined to the actual forests within their geographical region, some species invading regions of considerable aridity. Investigations on the ecology, water relations and orientation behaviour of a representative species of each order have been carried out. These have revealed that: (i) the physical conditions in the typical niche of the Machiloidea are extremely stable, whereas those in the habitat of the Lepismatoidea are subject to some considerable fluctuation. (ii) the Lepismatoidea are more resistant to desiccation than the Machiloidea; in both cases this resistance is due in part to physical barriers in the cuticle and partly to an active metabolic process. (iii) the Machiloidea rely on their eversible vesicles, situated on the abdominal coxosternites, for the uptake of water which cannot be drunk, such as a thin film of water or soil capillary water. (iv) the Lepismatoidea are able to absorb water from a subsaturated atmosphere. (v) the behavioural responses of both in respect of humidity, temperature, light and gravity, are such as to keep them in conditions within the range of their physiological limitations. From these results it is concluded that the Machiloidea can survive outside the shelter of forests, provided that water is readily available in some form in which it can be absorbed by the animals. The general implications of the results are such as to permit the erection of an hypothesis explaining the distribution of the Thysanura in South Africa in terms of t he availability of wate. The results also lead to speculations on the evolution of the Pterygota.

On the physiology of the lantern retractor muscle of Parechinus angulosus

  • Description: From Resumé: The lantern retractor muscles of regular echinoids act in almost isometric conditions and a study of their control was considered to be of interest. The retractor muscles cannot be indirectly stimulated from the radial nerves, but proved to be very photosensitive. Their responses to light were therefore studied. The muscles show a complex pattern of contraction in response to illumination, which includes both excitatory and inhibitory components. The possible genesis of these patterns is discussed and examined in the light of the responses of the muscles to direct current stimulation and to drugs. It is concluded that many of the features of the response are undoubtedly neurogenic in origin, but that myogenic activity may possibly also be involved.

They include a) the resorcinol-pyrogallol analogues, (+)-leuco-robinetinidin (7,5',4',5'-tetrahydroxyflavan-3,4-diol), dihydrorobinetin (7,5',4',5'-tetrahydroxyflavan-3-ol-4-one) and robtein (2',4',5,4,5- pentahydroxychalcone) and b) the resorcinol-catechol analogues, (+)-leuco-fisetinidin (7,3',4'-trihydroxyflavan-3,4-diol), fustin (7,3',4'-trihydroxyflavan-3-ol-4-one), (-)-fisetinidol (7,3',4'trihydroxyflavan- 3-ol), butein (2',4',3,4-tetrahydroxychalcone) and butin (7,5',4'-trihydroxyflavan-4-one). In addition, two flavonol glycosides, myricitrin (3,5,7,3',4',5'-hexahydroxyflavone-3-rhamnoside ) and quercitrin (5,5,7,5',4'-pentahydroxyflavone-3-rhamnoside), which belong to the phloroglucinol-pyrogallol and phloroglucinolcatechol class of flavonoids respectively, were isolated from immature bark. These represent the only glycosides isolated hitherto from wattle bark or heartwood extracts. Summary, p. i.
