Interpretation Of Imagery Lineations, Logan Creek Area, Southeast Missouri, Gregory Paul Smith

Masters Theses

"Depletion of ore in Missouri's old lead districts and the opening of the state's new lead district adds impetus to understanding and delineating geologic structure in and adjacent to the new lead district. Image and geomorphic analysis, hydrologic data, and subsurface structural contour mapping are used in interpretation of geologic structure in Dent, Shannon, Reynolds, and Carter counties, Missouri. Unlike the time consuming surface geologic mapping, the modes of investigation used in this study enabled the writer to make a larger, regional-scale study with results comparable to those attainable by surface mapping. The area is covered by thick residual soils …

A Study Of Some Heuristic Models For Predicting The Reflection From Spherical Surfaces., Bruce Wayne Rau

Masters Theses

"Four heuristic models' available for predicting the behavior or radiation Non regularly reflected from spherical surfaces have been studied. The four models include: the classical Lambert, the s-factor as deduced by Look, the Lommel-Seeliger, and the Euler's approach. Because each of these analyses was deduced for flat plate geometry, it was first necessary to integrate these flat plate expressions over the surface of a sphere to develop appropriate expressions for the power rejected from the surface of a sphere based upon e ach of the above theories. As an integral part of this investigation, various basic quantities were listed (i. …

Regional Geological Engineering Mapping By Erts-1 Imagery A Case Study On Taiwan., Shih-Tsu Chen

Masters Theses

"Three types of maps of Taiwan were made by using color composites of ERTS-1 images. The three types of maps, consisting of a regional land use map, an offshore sediment distribution map, and a tectonic map, were made from a color composite imagery utilizing Diazo chrome and Esco chrome films with a planimetrically accuracy sufficient for a 1:1,000,000 scale map.

Color enhanced imagery was found to increase the accuracy level of the land use interpretation. Three color enhancement techniques were used to increase the color contrast between the scenes of different land use. Particular land use scenes required a special …

Design Of A Medium Pressure Hydraulic Coal Mining Machine Power Unit System., William Rudolph Heincker

Masters Theses

"In this thesis the design of the major components of a medium pressure hydraulic coal mining machine is presented. The machine is to produce water jets operating at a continuous pressure of 10,000 psi with a total flow rate of 47.8 gpm. This machine is being used to mine coal from an underground longwall coal face, with an expected output of 7 tons per minute.

The primary elements of the hydraulic coal mining machine are the power source, the pump, the cutting head, and the secondary plow supporting structures. The power source will be a British Jefferey-Diamond (BJD) Supermatic electric …

Liquid Metal Heat Transfer In Longitudinal Flow Along A Cylinder And Flat Plate., Marvin Eugene Lohmann

Masters Theses

"In this investigation an analytical study is performed to determine the effect of axial heat conduction on laminar forced convection for longitudinal flow of liquid metals along a horizontal cylinder and a flat plate. ii

The flow and thermal boundary layers for the problems under consideration do not admit similarity solutions, the non-similarity arising from the transverse curvature; ε = (4/R) (vx/u _∞) ^½ of the cylindrical surface and from co the effect of the axial heat conduction expressible as Ω = 1/Pe_x , where Pe_x is the local Peclet number. The governing conservation equations along with …

Experimental Determination Of Improved Aerodynamic Characteristics Utilizing Biplane Wing Configurations, Elmer Carl Olson

Masters Theses

"Improving the aerodynamic characteristics of an airplane with respect to a higher lift coefficient, a lower drag coefficient and a higher lift over drag ratio as a function of angle of attack will make it more efficient, thus conserving energy or improving performance. Investigations were carried out to determine if the aerodynamic characteristics of biplane wing systems could be made more efficient, for low subsonic speeds, than a monoplane of comparable area and aspect ratio. A variable position three-dimensional biplane wing system, and a fuselage that could be fitted with a monoplane wing or the variable position biplane wing system …

Mercury Distribution In A Massive Sulfide Ore Deposit At Balmat, New York, David Ray Jessey

Masters Theses

"Ore samples consisting of diamond drill core and mine samples, collected from several Balmat ore bodies, were analyzed for their mercury content. The average contents in these ore bodies were found, in ppb, to be: Upper Gleason, 829; Middle and Lower Gleason, 504; Loomis, 546; Fowler, 195; No. 1 Zone, 37; Sylvia Lake, 59; No. 2 Mine, 5. If all of the mercury in these pyrite-sphalerite-galena ores occurs in the sphalerite, then the average sphalerite mercury contents, in ppb, are the following: Upper Gleason, 2490; Middle and Lower Gleason, 2516; Loomis, 2701; Fowler, 1376; No.1 Zone, 384; Sylvia Lake, 408; …

Study Of The Return-On-Investment Surface Of A Small Chemical Plant, Jose Antonio Casas Martinez-Ortiz

Masters Theses

"A study of the return-on-investment (ROI) surfaces for a single reactor chemical plant (Westbrook (8)) with a discontinuous investment function confirms its unimodality in the valid region. In both cases studied, the return-on-investment surfaces rise smoothly to the adiabatic boundary from a singular flow rate below which two of the component flow are not physically realizable. The optimum is located on the adiabatic boundary.

Comparison with these surfaces shows that using linear regression to obtain the parameters for an algebraic simulation of investment does not yield ROI values acceptably near the optimal. However, an heuristic approach, which assumes that minimizing …

Local And Overall Buckling Of Cold-Formed Compression Members, John T. Dewolf, George Winter, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The objective of this investigation has been to develop information on the interaction between local plate buckling and overall column buckling in cold-formed compression members with a view toward possible improvement of those provisions in the American Iron and Steel Institute Specification for the Design or Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members concerned with column design. Two types of compression members were tested: two channels connected flange-to-flange to form a box section, and two channels connected back-to-back to form an I-section. For both of these shapes, the stress at which local buckling occurs and the postbuckling strength were varied by varying the …

The Internal Chemical Shift. A Key To Bonding In Aromatic Molecules. I. Internal Shift Correlations, Donald W. Beistel, Holger E. Chen, P. J. Fryatt

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The study of proton shift behavior in nine families of disubstituted benzenes has provided quantitative correlations of internal and meta shifts among all families. The equations of correlation are useful in the prediction of shifts to an error of 0.015 ppm. The studies demonstrate shift additivity for the 4-substituted halobenzenes and suggest a chain rule relationship for substituent effects in those compounds. For that reason, previous theories of substituent interactions involving inductive and resonance contributors appear incorrect when applied to proton shift data. In decreasing order of up field shift at the ortho protons the substituents studied include N(CH3)2, NH2, …

Generalized Feedback Shift Register Pseudorandom Number Algorithm, Theodore Gyle Lewis, W. H. Payne

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The generalized feedback shift register pseudorandom number algorithm has several advantages over all other pseudorandom number generators. These advantages are: (1) it produces multidimensional pseudorandom numbers; (2) it has an arbitrarily long period independent of the word size of the computer on which it is implemented; (3) it is faster than other pseudorandom number generators; (4) the "same" floating-point pseudorandom number sequence is obtained on any machine, that is, the high order mantissa bits of each pseudorandom number agree on all machines— examples are given for IBM 360, Sperry-Rand-Univac 1108, Control Data 6000, and Hewlett-Packard 2100 series computers; (5) it …
