Notes On Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Tornadoes, 27 June 1955, Robert G. Beebe

National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration: Technical Reports and Related Materials

Some general characteristics of thirteen tornadoes that occurred on the afternoon of June 27, 1955 in Scottsbluff County, Nebraska, are related. Two of these caused widespread attention due to their size and their proximity to the cities of Scottsbluff and Mitchell, Nebraska. These two were photographed extensively by residents near their paths. The experience of two men directly beneath one of the two large tornadoes is related.

Men Of Science In Texas, 1820-1880: Ii, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

In the last issue of Field & Laboratory (26, 86-139) appeared the first 331 sketches (Abadie to Gilbert) of collectors, explorers, and observers, in a series that will extend through several issues. My fears of omissions were justified: I find that a sketch of Samuel Botsford Buckley (1809-84), a graduate of Wesleyan University in Connecticut, and twice State Geologist of Texas (1866-7 and 1874-5) was unaccountably omitted. This omission is the more notable since for twenty years I have been holding in abeyance the publication of a sketch of Buckley (on whom I have very extensive materials) waiting for a …

Rb59-187 The Existing Space In Nebraska Multistory Square Farm Houses, Jerre Lewis Withrow, Florence Mckinney

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Many of our farm homes do not satisfactorily meet the needs of the family and its living patterns. Thirty to 50 years ago little thought was given to certain aspects of housing which are considered essential today. It is obvious, to even the casual observer, that improvements should be made in living space, work areas, utilities and appliances.

The 1959 survey of the two story square house parallels the multi-story tee house study (RB58-186 The Existing Space in Nebraska Multistory Tee Houses) as to area covered and type of data collected. One hundred and seven houses were included …

Influence Of Spectral Composition Of Light On Cis-Trans Interconversion Of O- Hydroxycinnamic Acid, Francis A. Haskins, H. J. Gorz

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

In a recent report (1) from this laboratory, an improved fluorometric assay for coumarin in sweetclover is described. Briefly, the method consists of opening the lactone ring of coumarin by treatment with alkali, after which the resulting non-fluorescent cis-o-hydroxycinnamic acid is partially converted, by means of ultraviolet irradiation, to the fluorescent trans isomer. Measurements of fluorescence are then made. In the interval between ultraviolet treatment and measurement of fluorescence, the solutions to be assayed must be protected from the usual light of the laboratory, since exposure to such light results in loss of fluorescence, indicating a reconversion of some of …

A Rapid Volumetric Analysis For Carbonate In Rocks, Eugene Herrin, H. Sterling Hicks, Herbert Robertson

Field and Laboratory

Rapid, accurate analyses for the CO3 content of carbonate rocks may be made by allowing a known amount of the rock to react with a measured quantity of standard H2SO4 and then determining the amount of acid which remains by back-titration with standard NaOH. The technique is faster and more accurate than the leaching method and, more important, allows the analyst to determine directly the CO3 content. Very accurate analyses for CO3 in limestones may be made by potiometric titration methods, but quite satisfactory results are obtained using phenolphthalein as an indicator. As is the case with igneous rocks, the …

Men Of Science In Texas, 1820-1880, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

Recently there came back into my hands a lent-and forgotten-dossier of 1929 correspondence with Swiss and German universities and libraries-a correspondence dealing with the Swiss naturalist, Jacob Boll, who spent the last years of his life in Texas. His life, with that of other naturalists, is sketched in my Naturalists of the Frontier (1937, 1948). Such a recovery reminds one of the passing of time, and a long-made promise to put into print an account of the men of science (sit venia verbo) of Early Texas. Most of them were men of other trades, professions, what-you-will, of good amateur standing; …

Bleaching Of High Yield Mutual Sulphite Semichemical Pulp, Teodoro E. Reinhardt

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The objective of this research project was to investigate the effect of various bleaching agents and procedures on brightness, degree of yellowness and retention of the original high yield of the unbleached neutral sulphite semichemical pulp.

In order to avoid excessive losses in bleaching of the high yield pulp, it was decided to limit the selection of bleaching chemicals to hypochlorites, peroxides and hydrosulphites. Furthermore, caustic extraction was to be employed only under relatively mild conditions as to temperature and concentration.

Based on the experimental conditions and results described in this report and on the use of an unbleached pulp …

The Performance Of A Laboratory Type Inclined Screen Washer, Philip R. Carey

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This thesis is a study of pulp washing methods and factors influencing their operation. The literature survey is a discussion of diffusers, deckers, vacuum washers, screw presses, and inclined screen or side hill washers and methods of evaluation of washing systems.

Experimental work consisted of the analysis of the efficiency of a laboratory model inclined screen washer from the standpoint of suspended and dissolved solids removed and rate of flow. The experiments were run with deinked waste paper stock at four angles.

The results obtained indicated that an improved design of the inclined screen washer is necessary and suggestions along …

A Survey Of Management Opinions Of Noise In The Pulp And Paper Industry, Carola Trittin

Masters Theses

Introduction

The pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest in the United States, dollar-wise, and is also the third fastest growing industry in the United States (1). There are between 375,000 and 400,000 people employed directly in the pulp and paper mills in the United States and Canada. A nation-wide survey on the importance of noise in this industry is needed to help clarify the effects, if any, that noise has upon its employees.

By definition, noise is non-harmonious sound. When the subject of noise is mentioned, many suggestions are given on places where such a study should be …

The Development Of A Dietary Manual For The Small Hospital, Blanche Z. Madsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An increased amount of emphasis is constantly being placed on the standardization of diets where group feeding is involved. Especially is this true in the hospital where food is an essential part of the medical treatment of the patient. The directing personnel responsible for the diets for any hospital situation where a dietitian is employed, are the doctors who prescribe the diet orders and the dietitian who interprets them.
