Correlation Between Grades In Engineering Physics And Performance In Engineering Curricula, Donald Hoyt, Louis D. Ellsworth, Robert Katz
Correlation Between Grades In Engineering Physics And Performance In Engineering Curricula, Donald Hoyt, Louis D. Ellsworth, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
A survey of grades in Engineering Physics I at Kansas State College showed that the inner structure of the course was highly consistent. The correlation coefficient between the average of the first three tests and the final grade was about 0.88. More significantly, valuable prognostic data could be obtained from the final grade in the course. The correlation coefficient between the Engineering Physics I grade and the final grade point average of students who completed the course was about 0.83. Only 21% of the students initially failing the course successfully completed an engineering degree, while about 75% of the A, …
The Lateral Vibrations Of An Axially Rotating Bar, William C. Mccorkle Jr
The Lateral Vibrations Of An Axially Rotating Bar, William C. Mccorkle Jr
Doctoral Dissertations
Introduction: It has long been known that the rotational motion of a bar or shaft at certain speeds is capbable of exciting lateral vibrations of the shaft. Almost invariably these vibrations are undesirable or even destructive, and for this reason considerable attention has been given to their study. The subject has a fairly extensive literature dating back to 1869 when Rankine1,2 first treated the stability of a shaft, running true and in perfect balance, against small disturbances. His results were erroneous because he assumed that the plane of vibration always rotated with the shaft, which is equivalent to neglecting …
The Vertical Gradients Of Ozone Concentration And Its Relation To The Eddy Coefficient Of Diffusion, Joseph Levine
The Vertical Gradients Of Ozone Concentration And Its Relation To The Eddy Coefficient Of Diffusion, Joseph Levine
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The purpose of this thesis is to apply this method to a tentative evaluation of the eddy coefficient of diffusion. Actually the investigation was more specifically an attempt to relate the difference in ozone concentration between the two stations to the average wind shear and to the vertical thermal stability.
The Motion Of A Charged Particle In Homogenous Time-Varying Magnetic Field, Thomas R. Bates
The Motion Of A Charged Particle In Homogenous Time-Varying Magnetic Field, Thomas R. Bates
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
This paper will discuss the motion of a non-relativistic, non-radiating charged particle in an infinite homogeneous magnetic field which varies linearly with time. We shall assume the motion to be confined to a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.
An Indicator Of Position With Respect To The Earth's Magnetic Field, Lloyd C. Nielsen
An Indicator Of Position With Respect To The Earth's Magnetic Field, Lloyd C. Nielsen
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
A large amount of experimental research in the field of atmospheric physics involves carrying apparatus aloft by means of balloons. Data from balloon-borne instruments may be obtained either by recovery of the apparatus or by radio telemetering during the flight. Of these two methods, the latter is of course the more convenient and reliable, since recovery of the apparatus is time-consuming and often impossible.

United States Patent: X-Ray Grain Inspection Apparatus, Robert Katz, Max Milner, Milford R. Lee
Robert Katz Publications
This invention relates to an improved apparatus for use in the X-ray inspection of samples of grain or seeds to determine internal insect infestation and other internal physical anomalies. It particularly relates to a novel film cassette and sample holder which helps to produce a clear radiograph of the sample which is held in an orderly alignment, thereby permitting rapid visual inspection and analysis.
Flight Path Of Least Time, Robert Katz
Flight Path Of Least Time, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
A problem which one might assume to be of considerable practical interest, but certainly a problem to arouse the curiosity of the undergraduate student, is the problem of determining the most economical flight path of an airplane in the presence of known winds. In general one must assume that the wind system between source and destination is a complex one involving circulation about several centers with winds of variable speed and direction. The geodesic between source and destination is clearly not the flight path of least time in the presence of winds, nor is a cursory examination of a weather …
An Investigation Of The Internal Friction Of Manganese-Copper Alloys, Ed. (Edward) Sickafus
An Investigation Of The Internal Friction Of Manganese-Copper Alloys, Ed. (Edward) Sickafus
Masters Theses
"Internal friction is defined as the ability of a vibrating solid to convert its mechanical energy of vibration into heat, even when completely isolated from its surroundings. (1) The most familiar manifestation of internal friction is the damping of a freely vibrating body, such as a torsional pendulum. Another example would be the increased width of the resonance peak observed when a nonelastic body is forced to vibrate over a spectrum of frequencies.(2) Internal friction manifests itself in numerous ways, and we will here be concerned with the first example cited and the potency of data gained in studying the …

Thermal Conductivity Of Sodium Chloride Within The Temperature Range 375°K To 637°K, Paul E. Ohlsen
Thermal Conductivity Of Sodium Chloride Within The Temperature Range 375°K To 637°K, Paul E. Ohlsen
Masters Theses
"The transport of heat in dielectric solids is attributed entirely to lattice waves whereas in metals there is in addition a transfer by the flow of valence electrons. The thermal conductivity of a non-electrical-conductor is limited by a number of scattering processes giving rise to thermal resistances. Scattering results from impurity atoms and from vacancies and dislocations within the crystal structure and from the interaction of the lattice vibrations amongst themselves. Scattering also occurs at the boundaries of the crystal. The thermal resistance of an ideal crystal at low temperatures is due almost entirely to boundary scattering and at high …
The Thermal Conductivity Of Potassium Chloride At Elevated Temperatures, Wendell D. Miller
The Thermal Conductivity Of Potassium Chloride At Elevated Temperatures, Wendell D. Miller
Masters Theses
"The transport of heat in solids is attributed to the combined effect of the quantized vibrations of lattice points, or phonons, and the flow of valence electrons. In dielectric solids, the thermal conductivity is due almost entirely to phonons, while in metals the latter method preponderates. Scattering processes in dielectric solids, giving rise to thermal resistance, also serve to limit the thermal conductivity. Scattering results from vacancies, dislocations, interstitial atoms and phonon interaction. Crystal boundaries also function as scattering points and in crystals of small dimensions, this process is the most pronounced conductivity-limiting factor. At low temperatures the thermal resistance …
