Retail Shopping Center Development In Logan, Utah, Russell F. Fjeldsted

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Two stores side by side have, under the free enterprise system, usually more than twice the business of a single store. Merchants of the world recognize the value of this cumulative pull; it is implicit in every Main Street, every Fifth Avenue, every crossroads store group.

In this paper, we are interested in shopping centers, which are compound of the department store, the rural general store, the downtown shopping block, and a traditional street market. This new type of store group will usually be under single ownership, a dominating fact which will show itself through a certain architectural unity which …

The Trade Show: A Living Marketing Phenomenon, Russell F. Fjeldsted

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In the first chapter of the Book of Esther, we are told of an exhibition created by King Ahasuerus. In the third year of his reign he staged a huge fair to display "the riches of his glorious Kingdom and the honor of his excellent Majesty." This event was a forerunner of today's world fair. It lasted "many days, even an hundred and fourscore days." Interestingly enough, that span equals exactly a current world's fair season.

Prophet Ezekiel in the ancient city of Tyre makes mention of its markets where wares were displayed--silver, iron, tin, horses, mules, precious stones, gold …

Water Quality Telemetry, Final Progress Report, Duard S. Woffinden, Allen D. Kartchner

Reports

Water quality standards are now part of the legal code set up to control water pollution. In order to ascertain that these standards are being met, it is mandatory to monitor any river system over which control must be maintained. For optimum, usefulness, data on the monitored variables should be available on a real time basis at any time throughout the 24-hour day. Remote sampling stations and a telemetry link represent the most practical means of accomplishing this end. A water quality monitoring system utilizing radio telemetry has been developed at the Utah Water Research Laboratory (UWRL). The system consists …

Influence Of Mountain Groundwater On Streamflow, Bi-Huei Wang, Roland W. Jeppson

Reports

This investigation has determined the quantities of water stored as groundwater in the three watersheds in Utah, Logan River upstream from State Dam, South Fork Ogden River upstream from Huntsville, and Weber River upstream from Oakley. The proportion of the total streamflow contributed from this groundwater storage has been determined from past streamflow records, and the knowledge obtained from the analysis of groundwater contribution to streamflow has been utilized in developing water supply forecasting techniques and procedures. The first phase of the study dealt with theory and methods from separating the groundwater component from the total streamflow hydrograph. The method …

Finite Difference Solutions To Free Jet And Confined Cavity Flows Past Disks With Preliminary Analyses Of The Results, Roland W. Jeppson

Reports

A number of solutions are obtained to ideal axisymmetric flow past cavitating disks for both cases of a free surface jet and flow confined in a constant radius conduit. Finite difference methods are utilized in obtaining the solutions from an inverse formulation which considers the velocity potential, and Stokes’ stream function, as the independent variables and the radial and axial dimensions, r and z, as the dependent variables. The resulting inverse boundary value problem for r, for which the basis solution is obtained, is nonlinear. The solution technique uses a Newton-Raphson iteration to evaluate the implicit finite difference operator at …

Snowmelt Simulation, J. Paul Riley, Duane G. Chadwick, Keith O. Eggleston

Reports

The rapid growth in recent years of a variety of demands upon available water resources has lead to an increasing interest in more fundamental approaches to the science of hydrology. Accompanying this growth has been a need for an increased understanding of the snowmelt process. A completely adequate description of the entire physical process of snowmelt under all conditions is not yet available. The complex interrelated and variable nature of the snowmelt processes that occur simultaneously complicate the problem. A preliminary mathematical model of the snowmelt process has been developed in which processes such as pack settlement rates and energy …

Electronic Analog Computer Simulation Of The Paez-Pedraza Region Of Venezuela, J. Paul Riley, V. V. Dhruva Narayana, Kousoum S. Sakhan

Reports

Recently governments and universities in many South American countries have shown considerable interest in a planned and orderly development of available water resources. A case in point is the preliminary study reported in which the problem is approached by utilizing a general mathematical model of the hydrologic system. Specifically, the study involves simulation by means of an electronic analog computer of the hydrology of the Paez-Pedraza region of south western Venezuela. The various processes within the model are linked by the continuity-of-mass principle, which requires a hydrologic balance at all points. The analog computer is ideally suited to the solution …

Analog Computer Simulation Of The Runoff Characteristics Of An Urban Watershed, V. V. Dhruva Narayana, J. Paul Riley, Eugene K. Israelsen

Reports

In the syntheses of hydrograph characteristics of small urban watersheds, the distribution of water among the various phases of the runoff process is attempted by the concept of equivalent rural watershed. The urban parameters considered in the study are percentage impervious cover and characteristic impervious length factor. A mathematical model is developed for the equivalent rural watershed with precipitation as input. The hydrograph of outflow is obtained by chronologically deducting the losses due to interception, infiltration, and depression storages from precipitation and then routing through the watershed storage. This mathematical procedure is programmed on an analog computer and is tested …

A Perspective Of Contemporary Water Planning And Management Problems In Utah, Jay M. Bagley

Reports

I should like to discuss what I consider to be a few major problems Utah faces in connection with water and its development. Time will not permit great detail or breadth of discussion. The points I should like to discuss best can be made by first setting some hydrologic scenery. Actually, although hydrologic considerations provide the central melody to planning for water resources development, there are many socio-politico-legal-economic variations on the theme. My approach will be to remark briefly on thie environment in which today's planning must take place, provide some broad hydrologi guideposts, and with this backdrop select a …

Analog Computer Solution Of The Unsteady Flow Equations And Its Use In Modeling The Surface Runoff Process, Utah Water Research Laboratory

Reports

The flow of water on a watershed is usually unsteady and spatially varied, but can be adequately portrayed by the equations of momentum and continuity, commonly referred to as the unsteady flow equations. Because these equations are quasi-linear, hyperbolic, partial differential equations, they are not easily amenable to solution. Analog computer model~ of surface runoff generally have been based on simplified forms of these equations. As an improvement of those models, an analog computer solution is presented here for the unsteady flow equations. The solution involves the conversion of the partial differential equations in to a differential-difference system, and a …

Cutthroat Flow Measuring Flumes For Flat Gradient Channels, Gaylord V. V. Skogerboe

Reports

The cutthroat flume can operate either as a free or submerged flow structure. Submerged flow calibration curves and free flow equations have been developed. Rectangular cutthroat flume sizes of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 feet were studied and tested in the laboratory. Trapezoidal cutthroat flumes having zero (or V-shaped), 6-inch, and 12-inch throat widths were calibrated. The value of transition submergence is listed for each of the rectangular and trapezoidal cutthroat flumes. The most obvious advantage of a cutthroat flume is economy, since fabrication is facilitated by a flat bottom and removal of the throat section. Another advantage is …

Simulation Of The Hydrologic-Economic Flow System In An Agricultural Area, Murland R. Packer, J. Paul Riley, Harold H. Hiskey, Eugene K. Israelsen

Reports

Like the allocation of water resources among water users, the distribution of allocated water to the subusers requires an estimate of the economic costs and benefits from a number of distribution alternatives. The most satisfactory solution maximizes the benefit cost ratio. This study is based on the premise that equitable water distribution to agricultural subusers can be more easily accomplished through the use of a technique to predict the marginal value of agricultural water. A hydro-economic model is formulated to distribute the water supply to the crops and to determine the unit value of water for the given supply. By …
