The Effect Of Alternating Current On The Rectifying Properties Of Metallic Salts In Contact With Metals, William Howard Schumaker

Bachelors’ Theses

However much may be said regarding the advantages of direct current, there is little doubt at present, that from the viewpoint of power generation and transmission, alternating current has considerable advantages over direct current. While such is the case, there is, and probably always will be, a need for direct current. According to our present development, this direct current is indispensable in wireless work, radio, and in the laboratory test shops, where it is necessary to work with very sensitive meters, which are inexpensive and easy enough to secure for direct current measurements, but which necessitates an elaborate and costly …

Probability, The Historical Development Of The Theory And Its Application To Games Of Chance, Rose M. Brandt

Bachelors’ Theses

The theory of probability had its origin in isolated mathematical problems taken from games of chance. The beginnings of many of our modern theories and concepts can be traced back to Chinese origin. So too can the theory of probability. With the exception of the Chinese problem, dating from the beginning of the Christian era, no reference seems to have again been made to the theory prior to the latter part of the fifteenth century. In 1494 an Italian monk, Pacioli, was one of the first to introduce the "Problem of Points" into a treatise on mathematics. By the solution …

Revision Of The Jefferson City Formation In The Rolla Quadrangle, James Shelley Cullison

Masters Theses

"The geology of the Rolla quadrangle was mapped by Lee in 1912. At that time all the dolomitic strata above the Roubidoux and beneath the Carboniferous formations in this area were placed in the Jefferson City. A more detailed study of the stratigraphy of the whole Ozark region by Ulrich has shown that some of the strata which had been included in the Jefferson City formation on lithologic grounds are not equivalent to the dolomites in the type section at Jefferson City, Missouri"--Introduction, page [1].

A Study Of The Official Methods Of Analysis For Determining The Availability Of Nitrogen In Fertilizers, Raymond A. Schmidt

Bachelors’ Theses

The Milwaukee Sewage Disposal Plant is unique in that it has successfully met the engineering and chemical problems encountered in putting the theories and ideas of the simple experimental station into operation on a large scale. Municipal sanitation was the aim of the plant. It has accomplished its purpose and has been operating several years with a high degree of efficiency and low per capita cost. The plant will be called upon to take care of the sanitary needs of Milwaukee for many years to come.

"Triassic-Jurassic 'Red Beds' Of The Rocky Mountain Region": A Discussion, John B. Reeside Jr.

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

The conclusion drawn by Professor E. B. Branson in a recent paper on the "Red Beds" of the Rocky Mountain region that parts of these beds are marine is considered likely. The conclusion that there exists no basis for subdivision of the beds is not accepted, and a division of the Mesozoic part into Lower Triassic, Upper Triassic, and Jurassic units is advocated. The conclusion that no eolian deposits are present likewise is not accepted, and the interpretation of important parts of the Jurassic unit as eolian is advocated. Disagreement is expressed with much of Professor Branson's correlation table, and …

The Aurora Borealis, Magdalen Kramschuster

Bachelors’ Theses

The Indians wondered if their beloved aurora would return. They watched and philosophized about the dawn, the twilight, the stars and all the phenomena of the heavens. They pondered the mysteries of lightening and thunder. Peoples down through the ages have written poetry about the mighty thunderhead and the lacy cirrus clouds. One by one these mysteries have been solved, but one still remains--the Aurora Polaris. Advances have been made in scientific fields so that we no longer worry whether or not the next day will come. Thunder, to us, is not the voice of an angry god. Rapid strides …

A Theorem On Semi-Continuous Functions, Henry Blumberg

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Recently G. C. Young and A. Denjoy have communicated theorems—those in Denjoy's memoir are of an especially comprehensive character—dealing, in particular, with point sets where the four derivatives of a given continuous function are identical. It is the purpose of this note to treat an analogous problem that arises when "derivative" is replaced by "saltus." However, instead of confining ourselves to "saltus," we prove a more general theorem that applies essentially to all semi-continuous functions. We preface the proof of this theorem with the following

Nebraska Rocks Which Excite Common Inquiry, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

This leaflet it intended to serve as an answer to correspondents who make inquiry about the rocks of Nebraska¹. Unfortunately for those interested in such matters, the rocks of the State are few in number, and are deeply buried from view by sand and soil, so there are thousands of square miles in which even a pebble is a rarity. That our rocks are level and undisturbed is practically true. Still there are some surprisingly interesting folds and faults.

On The Origin And Definition Of The Geologic Term "Laramie", A. C. Veatch

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

INTRODUCTION

Investigations of the United States Geological Survey during the summer of I906, covering the larger part of the Laramie exposures on the Laramie Plains, examined by the King and Hayden surveys, have revealed many new and important facts bearing on the Laramie problem.

By detailed areal surveys it was found: (1) that the lignitiferous series, which in the Laramie Plains lies between the Montana below and the Fort Union above, and has a maximum thickness of about 12,500 feet, is divided about the middle by an unconformity; (2) that this unconformity is in the same stratigraphic plane and continuous …

Bulletin No. 52 - The Chemical Composition Of Utah Soils (Cache And Sanpete Counties), John A. Widtsoe

UAES Bulletins

The soils of the State [Utah], as found by the Mormon pioneers of 1847, were virgin in the fullest sense of the word. As far as man knows, only a few patches in Southern Utah had ever been cultivated. For untold centuries the atmospheric forces, unhindered by man's intervention, had been allowed to weather and make fit for agricultural purposes the rock fragments that, washed down into the valleys from the mountain ranges, constitute the soils of the State. For a long period, also, long before human tradition begins, there had not been enough water in the Utah valleys to …

Producer Gas, Edward P. Dwyer

Bachelors Theses

"Producer gas, so named owing to being produced in special forms of apparatus known as Producers. The fuel is decomposed into combustible gases, whereby most of the C is burnt to CO, whilst the H either remains free, or is converted into carburretted Hydrogen. Directly above the grate carbonic anhydride is formed but thus is rapidly converted into carbonic oxide; reaction as follows: CO₂ + C = 2CO.

Amongst these heavy carburetted hydrogen (C₂H₄) is that which principally increases the value of the gas as fuel and the drier the fuel used the more of the gas is produced. A …

A New Habitat Of The Black-Throated Rock Swift, Micropus Melanoleucus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

As curator of the museum, I have just procured for the State University of Nebraska a set of bird-skins prepared during the past summer, among which are five skins that must be of interest to ornithologists. They verify the discovery made by Professor Lawrence Bruner of the University of Nebraska, that the White-throated Rock Swift builds and breeds in the precipitous bluffs around Squaw Canon, Sioux Co., Nebraska, and, what is more likely, throughout the Pine Ridge regions, as Professor Bruner has observed them also at Crow Butte, near Crawford, Nebraska.

The Winnebago County (Iowa) Meteorites, George F. Kunz, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, Joseph Torrey Jr.

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

A remarkable meteor, or meteoric shower, passed over this State at 5.30 P.M., Friday, May 2. In spite of the brightness of the sun, shining at the time in a nearly cloudless sky, the light of the meteor was very noticeable. Its great size, powerful illumination, discharge of sparks, comet-like tail three to five degrees in length, and the great train of smoke which marked its course for a full ten minutes after its passage, made a strong and lasting impression on the minds of all who saw it. Unfortunately the clamor over an exciting game of ball prevented the …
