5 INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy o f a docum ent sent to us for m icrofilm ing. While the m ost advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this docum ent, the quality o f the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The follow ing explanation o f techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this leproduction. 1.T h e sign or target for pages apparently lacking from the docum ent photographed is Missing Page(s). If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced in to the film along w ith adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cu ttin g through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication o f either blurred copy because o f m ovem ent during exposure, duplicate cop y, or copyrighted materials that should n ot have been film ed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were d eleted, a target n ote w ill appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite m ethod o f sectionin g the material has been follow ed. It is custom ary to begin film ing at the upper left hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal section s w ith small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued a g ain -b egin n in g below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Som e pages in any d ocum ent may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Microfilms International 300 N. Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Ml 48106
