A Substitute For Wood Veneer., Edwin R. Arbegust

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is a report of an investigation for a substitute for wood veneer to be used as face material for wire-bound boxes. The fiberboard substitute was made using a heavy paper backing with a wood waste mixture of chips and sawdust with various types of adhesive binders. The following adhesives were used singly and in mixtures: Starch, sodium silicate, asphalt emulsion, animal glue, urea resin with a wheat flour extender, rosin, and casein. The composition and test results of the fiberboard panels made in the laboratory are reported.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The Ruby Gulch Mine, owned and operated by the Ruby Gulch Mining Company, Zortman, Montana, is one of the most important low-grade gold producers in the state. Sit­uated in the Little Rocky Mountains, the mine has had an interesting history since its discovery shortly before the turn of the century.

Geology And Mineral Deposits Of Idaho: A Summary, Paul B. Bronken

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The great diversity on mineral wealth in Idaho establishes it as one of the principle mining states in the union. Mining first began in the state with the discovery of placer gold in the Pierce City district in 1861, and since that date has become one of the leading industries of the state.

Plan Of Development For Valley Gravity Project, Julius A. Krug, Michael W. Straus, Wesley R. Nelson

Lower Rio Grande Valley Curated Material

"The Valley Gravity Project Plan has been formulated to furnish an adequate and dependable irrigation water supply for fertile and productive area in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas, It would also provide drainage works, which would remove the threat of destruction of the economy of the area due to effects of a high water table and salt accumulations. The project works would permit generation of the maximum practicable amount of electrical energy which otherwise would be required to operate irrigation pumping plants. Other incidental benefits include fish and wildlife conservation, recreation and flood control."

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The laboratory model is considered in this thesis. Information gained from this investigation has not been trans­ferred to the larger industrial machines. Some of the factors noted concerning the efficiency of the laboratory shaking table are inherent in this small scale model only.

Outline Of Research For Adhesion Of Bituminous Materials To Mineral Aggregates, Kentucky Highway Materials Research Laboratory

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The primary object of this proposed research is to investigate existing procedures or develop new means for evaluating the adhesive capacity of bituminous materials when applied to mineral aggregates. This includes bituminous materials in combination with additives or so-called anti-stripping agents; hence, the scope of the project includes:

1. A study of aggregates for hydrophyllic or hydrophobic properties as related to different types of bitumen, and the selection of a standard aggregate by which the adhesion of bituminous materials themselves may be judged.
2. Comparison of grades and sources of bituminous materials with respect to power of adhesion to (or tendencies to …

The Effect Of Rope Speed And Moisture On Mine Scrapers, Ronald L. Carmichael

Masters Theses

"During recent years the use of power drawn scrapers, sometimes called "slushing", for the transfer of ore and waste rock has become standard practice in many mining operations. Scraper types have been developed to meet various operating conditions by trial and error methods and by practical research. The study of scraper efficiency has been confined in the past mainly to power consumption. A detailed study of the effect of rope speed and moisture content of the material being moved on scraping efficiency, under controlled conditions, has not been noted in a review of the literature. The author feels that such …

A Comparison Of The Use Of Polaroid And Colored Filters In The Multiplex Aeroprojector, Robert Greig Livingston

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is the drawing of a comparison between the use of the colored filters, which are normally employed in the multiplex aeroprojector by various mapping agencies throughout the country, and the use therein of Polaroid filters. The filters in the aeroprojector serve to break the projection of a stereoscopic pair of photographs into two impressions which are viewed separately by each eye of the observer, thus providing the main requirement for the observance of a three-dimensional effect. this stereoscopic effect is utilized in the multiplex plotting machine for the delineation of contours...In order to form a …

The Solubility Of Copper In High-Iron And Low-Iron Slags, Charles Burroughs Gill

Masters Theses

"A thesis giving the details of construction of a rotating induction furnace and its use to experimentally determine the amounts of copper absorbed in high-iron and low-iron slags at various temperatures. A rotating induction furnace is advantageous for slag study in that the slag is contained in a molten pure metal cup and does not come in contact with any refractory, which would be attacked by the slag and contaminate it. The molten pure metal cup is formed by melting the pure metal in a refractory crucible and spinning this inside an induction coil. The induction coil supplies heat for …

Performance Study Of Mechanical Loading Machines In Coal Mining Practice, Kor Uyetake

Masters Theses

"In the transition from hand-loading methods in coal mining to mechanical loading methods various types of equipment have been developed to do the same job. Among the coal mining operators and among miners in the coal fields, various equipment preferences have developed. This produces a sharp difference of opinion. emotional statements of such ideas based upon personal likings do not contribute materially to coal mining progress - it merely serves to confuse the issue. The author feels that the opinions on the loading equipment should be based upon some factual data rather than the preconceived idea. Often it is difficult …

Ethylcellulose Lacquer Coatings For Polystyrene Plastics., Stuart V. Heil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An ethylcellulose lacquer system for both decorative and protective purposes was developed for use on polystyrene plastics. It was found that a one-coat lacquer containing only alcohol solvents produced the most satisfactory finish. Formulations were based on experimental work, conducted to determine the effect of the various lacquer components on the plastic. The results of a study of formulations on a two-coat system are presented.

Proposed Field And Laboratory Study Of Flexible Pavements, Kentucky Highway Materials Research Laboratory

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Research into the problem of the design and control of flexible pavement construction has resulted in the use of empirical and arbitrary solutions consisting of general theories for determining pavement thickness, gradation of aggregate, percent of bitumen, base requirements, etc. A desirable method would be one that is applicable to all aggregate, bitumen, and subgrade conditions. Until such a procedure is available, a determination of existing procedures are the immediate problems of highway engineers.

Proposed Working Plan For A Study Of The Properties Of Coarse Aggregates, Kentucky Highway Materials Research Laboratory

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Among the numerous materials used in the construction of highways probably none is more important or perplexing than coarse aggregate. Through past research and experience a group of procedures and specifications for selecting aggregates suitable for pavements has been developed. These acceptance tests deal almost entirely with physical properties such as gradation, soundness, absorption, abrasion, etc. However, recent data accumulated by field observations and surveys (1), (7), (8)* have indicated that some materials passing the specifications have undesirable properties which cause difficulties over a long period of time. Consequently, research directed toward a more thorough investigation of aggregates has become …
