Geology Of A Kyanite Deposit Near Ennis, Montana, Clarence L. Nordstrom

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A deposit of kyanite, an aluminum silicate mineral used in the ceramic industry, occurs in the low foothills of the Gravelly range about 10 miles south of Ennis, Montana. This study deals primarily with the character and origin of the deposit, and its relationship to the surrounding rocks.

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."

The Construction And Use Of The Barrett Camera, Theresa Pauline Radermacher

Bachelors’ Theses

The study of the crystal structure of metals under various conditions of strain is at the present time the object of a great deal of scientific endeavor. A greater knowledge of the condition of strained crystals will be a tremendous aid in the future development of metallic construction for one can then predict the effect of any type of strain on a metal by the reaction of the individual crystals to that particular strain. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the construction and use of the Barrett camera which is used in experiments of this kind.

Spectroscopy, Harvey E. Wagner

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis was first concerned with a spectroscope based on an eagle mounting (instrument no. 57034). However, due to apparatus difficulties it was necessary to start again using a spectroscope based on a Paschen Runge Mounting (instrument no. 37102 - 124 Central Scientific Co.).

The Preparation Of Certain Organic Chloroformates And Carbonates, Robert E. Brailsford

Theses and Dissertations

This brief discussion and research paper attempts to correlate a large portion of the information about the preparation of known organic chloroformates and carbonates, to point out the present and possible future uses of these compounds, and to contribute some information concerning the preparation of a number of the organic carbonates. A comparison of the different methods of preparation is made.

Laboratory Model Shaking Table; An Investigation Of Defects And Suggested Improvements, George C. Horak

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.

Observations On The Nighttime Resting And Biting Habits Of Anopheline Mosquitoes In Ddt-Treated And-Untreated Buildings, Clarence M. Tarzwell, Frank W. Fisk

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

Laboratory cage tests and controlled experiments in houses have clearly demonstrated that residual-spray deposits of DDT are lethal to mosquitoes for considerable periods. Although these tests valuable information on the durability of DDT residual deposits, they did not give information on the mortality of malaria mosquitoes naturally entering treated dwellings in search of a blood meal. In order to secure a lethal dose of DDT from residual deposits, mosquitoes must actually touch the material and be exposed to it for a considerable period. This period has been shown to vary (1), depending on the temperature, age of treatment, density and …

Test 380: John Deere B , Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

Nebraska Tractor Tests

EXPLANATION OF TEST REPORT: John Deere B

TEST A: The manufacturer's representative operates the tractor for a minimum of 12 hours using light to heavy drawbar loads in each gear.

This serves as a period for limber up, general observation and adjustments. Adjustments that are permissible include valve tappet clearance, breaker ,point gap, spark plug gaps, clutch and others of a similar nature. No new parts or accessories can be installed without having mention made of it in the report. No data' are recorded during this preliminary run except the time that the engine is operated.

Duck, Goose And Pheasant Records From Ogallala Game Dressing Station, 1943-1946, John H. Wampole

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

For several seasons records of the number of ducks brought in to be dressed have been kept at an Ogallala dressing station. Records have been tabulated and summarized in an effort to measure the hunter success. Since no record of hunter-days or hunter-trips is obtainable, this report is based upon seasonal totals, daily averages, and numbers per bag. Table III (page 27) shows the number of bags, seasonal totals and average numbers of birds per bag. Table IV shows the take by months and Table V shows the averages per day for the three months of each season.

Wildlife Records From Mail Carriers In April, Levi L. Mohler

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

608 mail carriers kept records of game birds seen during the week of April 21 - 26. This was the eighth time that mail carriers have cooperated on a statewide basis. April counts were omitted in 1946 but comparisons are made below of 1945 and 1947 data.

The mail carriers' work provides an inexpensive method of getting extensive statewide observations, and informational bulletins returned to the carriers are of definite value as a public relations step. (Many ot the carriers send in long letters, in addition to the card form, and in a number of instances they have reported information …

Insoluble Residues Of Five Sections Of The Amsden Formation, Wilmer R. Peterson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The term, "insoluble residue," as used in this report is that portion of the original rock sample remaining after the sample has been digested by a mixture of one part hydrocloric acid and two parts water. The remains or insoluble residue from this acid treatment may vary from nothing to I00 percent.

The Interplaner Spacings Of Atoms In Titanates, Elizabeth R. Mcgrath

Bachelors’ Theses

The science of crystallography was founded about one hundred fifty years ago by Rene Hauy. This science is the study of the outward form of crystals, and soon the crystallographer learned to classify the crystalline substances according to their outward form, particularly by the angles formed between faces of the crystals.

Water Levels And Artesian Pressure In Wells In Las Vegas Valley And In Other Valleys In Nevada, 1913-1945, T. W. Robinson, George B. Maxey, J. C. Fredericks, C. Harry Jameson

Publications (WR)

The rock formations of the earth are great natural reservoirs in which a part of the water derived from rain and snow is stored. Water levels and artesian pressure in wells register the stages of these natural reservoirs. The changes in water levels or artesian pressure are indicative of the depletion or replenishment of the natural reservoirs. Systematic and periodic measurements of water levels and artesian pressure in wells have been made in Nevada, by State and Federal agencies from time to time. However, only a few of these measurements have ever been published. Under the cooperative arrangement between the …
