Simultaneous Comparison Of Rf Probe Techniques For Determination Of Ionospheric Electron Density, K. D. Baker, A. M. Despain, J. C. Ulwick

Space Dynamics Laboratory Publications

Three radio-frequency( RF) probe techniques--standingw ave impedancep robe, plasma frequency probe, and resonance rectification probe--have been simultaneously flown on rockets for ionospheric measurements. The results of the three probes are compared to establisht he relationshipsa mong them. The impedancep robe and plasma frequency probe measurements are in general agreement with each other and with other independent measurements. A model of antenna-ionosphericin teraction is used that neglects ion sheath and magnetic field effects. The resonance rectification probe shows resonance effects including peaks.and minimums that are a function of probe dc bias. The frequency of the dominant resonance peak does not correspond …

Measuring Water With Parshall Flumes, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, M. Leon Hyatt, Joe D. England, J. Raymond Johnson

Reports

Preface: As the value of water increases, the extent to which measurement is employed in an irrigation system also increases. Additional flow measurements provide information for improved management of the water supply. Good water management requires accurate measurement. Many devices have been developed for this purpose and are in use. Included among them are weirs, orifices, calibrated gates, Parshall flumes, and current meters. Of these, the Parshall flume is one of the most widely accepted and used. Presented in this publication is a discussion concerning the use of Parshall flumes for measuring water, including the utilization of a new approach …

Rating Flow Regulation Structures In The Bear River Canal System, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, Winford M. Barrus, Lloyd H. Austin

Reports

Introduction.

The Bear River Canal System (Fig. 1) is located below Cutler Reservoir in Box Elder County, Utah. The average annual quantity of water conveyed through the canal system is approximately 230,000 acre-feet. Any water not consumptively used in this area eventually flows in to Great Salt Lake.

Utah Power and Light Company has the rights to the waters stored in Cutler Reservoir for operating a hydroelectric plant. The irrigation distribution system below the reservoir is operated and maintained by the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company. The water is delivered to the water users through the distribution system and a nominal maintenance …

Subcritical Flow Over Various Weir Shapes, M. Leon Hyatt, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, Lloyd H. Austin

Reports

Submerged flow exists for any given structure when a change in flow depth downstream from the structure causes a change in flow depth upstream from the structure for any given constant value of discharge. The two flow depths, normally measured when submerged flow exists, consist of a depth upstream from the structure, which is used also for free flow conditions, and a depth of flow located any place downstream from the structure. The initial studies in which the submerged flow analysis was developed were made on flat-bottomed flumes (Hyatt, 1965; and Skogerboe, Walker, and Robinson, 1965). Later studies verified the …

Evaluation Of Free And Submerged Flow Data For Large Parshall Flumes, M. Leon Hyatt, Gaylord V. Skogerboe

Reports

Because the accurate measurement of water plays such an important part in water management, such structures as weirs, orifices, calibrated gates f and flumes have been developed. These structures provide the means for reasonable measurement of the smaller flows (1: .. 100 cfs), but for the large flows (100-3,000 cfs) the current meter, large Parshall flume, and various other flumes are commonly used. Where a permanent structure is required, the most widely accepted and utilized method for measurement of large flows is probably the Parshall flume. The purpose of this report has been to collect the existing flow data for …

Application Of Electronic Analog Computer To Solution Of Hydrologic And River Basin Planning Problems: Utah Simulation Model Ii, J. Paul Riley, Duane G. Chadwick, Jay M. Bagley

Reports

As demands upon available water supplies increase, there is an accompanying increase in the need to assess the downstream hydrologic system. At Utah State University this problem is being approached by electronic analog simulation of the hydrologic system. Modeling concepts are based upon the development of basic relationships which describe the various hydrologic processes. Within a system, these relationships are linked by the continuity -of-mass principle which requires a hydrologic balance at all points. Once established, the model is applied to any particular geographic unit by determining the appropriate constants of the hydrologic equations. The analog computer is ideally suited …

Mathematical Hydraulics Of Surface Irrigation, Cheng-Lung Chen

Reports

The general hydrodynamic equations for a spatially varied unsteady flow in a prismatic open channel having an arbitrary cross-sectional shape can be derived from the equations of continuity and momentum. The assumptions based on the general concept of hydrodynamics and the theory of shallow water is introduced. The mathematical models in the surface irrigation can be formulated by these equations of motion with the appropriate initial and boundary conditions prescribed at the singularity point (the origin in the x, t-plane) and at x = 0. Therefore, the flow in the surface irrigation must be described by solving the boundary-value problem …

Babylon To Zion On Forty-Two Dollars: The Disaster Of The Willie Company And An Evaluation Of The Handcart System, Larry R. Moses

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

In 1847, the Mormon Church began a migration to the Great Salt Lake Basin, their Zion in the mountains. This pilgrimage was to continue for over half a century, and out of it was to come one of the truly epic stories of the western settlement. Before leaving Nauvoo, these self-styled, Saints of the modern era pledged themselves to set up a system to transport all of their members to Utah, regardless of their financial status. The vow was renewed at the October 1849 Conference held in Salt Lake City. President Heber C. Kimball, first councilor to Brigham Young, suggested …

Graphical Solutions To Frequently Encountered Fluid Flow Problems, Roland W. Jeppson

Reports

Introduction

Graphical methods are often used by engineers to solve frequently used or complex formulas which require trial and error solutions. Perhaps the best known graphical tool used by the engineer is the slide rule, but anyone familiar with its use will recognize its limitations both in time and accuracy. For many problems which involve many repetitive computations high speed digital or analog computers are the most effective tools for solution. There are, however, many problems requiring considerable engineering time for slide rule solutions where solutions are not justifiable on computers. The use of nomograms for such problems is desirable. …

Direct Effects Of Irradiation On The Biosynthesis Of Androgens By Testicular Tissue, C. Gordon Simpson

Biology

The increased usage of various types and sources of radiation in medicine and space explorations merits a closer examination of the effects of ionizing radiations on living matter. Although considerable research has been conducted in this field, many problems still remain unsolved. Of the many studies on the effects of radiation on the mammalian organism, very little information is available as to the effects of this treatment on the endocrine aspects of the testes. The objective of this investigation is to ascertain if irradiation has an immediate and direct effect on steroidogenesis by the testes.

Seasonal Movements And Habitats Of Chipmunks (Eutamias) In Montana, David L. Martinsen

Biology

Since most small mammals are nocturnal or secretive in their habits, the use of indirect methods, such as live trapping, has been necessary to study their activities. Given a network of traps, the assumption basic to all capture-mark-recapture studies is that the traps do not markedly interfere with the normal activities of the animal. An important corollary would be that the frequency of capture in any area reflects the intensity of use of that area by the animal. Some workers have obtained results which cast doubt on the validity of these assumptions (Hayne, 1949), yet other studies support their worth …

Commitments In Marriage, Don C. Carter

Man always faces the future with institutions which are products of the past and which must continually be modified to meet the changing needs of the present and the emerging future. The changes taking place in today's world are particularly rapid and dramatic, and they provide an unprecedented challenge to society. The family, as one of man's enduring institutions, has repeatedly been faced with the need for modification in response to changes in society, and today faces what may be its most severe test. However, Hill (1964) has concluded that our society is far from the most hostile social order …
