Three Mile Island - A Personal Report, James R. Hudson

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

March 29, 1979 was the first day of the spring term at The Pennsylvania State University--Capitol Campus. I had joined a car pool and as we drove from Lancaster to Middletown the conversation centered on the news from Three Mile Island. We were clearly unaware of the severity of the problem, but two of the riders were active in anti-nuclear energy organizations. They were grim and intense. Their central concern at the moment was how to mobilize the campus in some way to respond to the potential hazard. There was a certain deja vu in the themes of the conversation. …

The Effects Of Basis Weight And Beater Deposited Latex On Fold Endurance, Mark G. Smith

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of a beater deposited latex on the relationship of basis weight versus fold endurance. An exhaustive survey of past and current literature regarding nearly all aspects of fold endurance as related to basis weight was completed. Two areas of fold endurance were investigated. These were basis weight versus fold endurance for virgin handsheets and basis weight versus fold endurance for sheets containing various levels of beater deposited latex.

The virgin handsheet work served to corroborate past work by others in this area. Fold endurance appeared to become less dependent on basis weight …

The Effects Of Increased Recycled Fiber On Tensile And Burst, Ronald P. Rohrbach

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The objective of this study was to determine the effect secondary fiber has on the burst and tensile of the paper sheet. There are many different physical aspects to burst and tensile and these aspects are discussed in some detail. Previous work has been performed in similar areas. The data and conclusions from that work was extremely helpful to this study. The literature search revealed several theories of the relationship between burst and tensile. The theory which this study investigates is the Carson linear relationship model.

The handsheets which were produced had varying amounts of secondary fiber. They also contained …

Photoconductivity And Photovoltaic Studies On Some Ii-Vi Compounds, Challa Nagesh

Masters Theses

The photoconductivity spectra of ultra-pure single crystals of CdS in the range 500-575 nm, CdSe in the range 700-900 nm, ZnSe in the range 420-570 nm and ZnS in the range 300-450 nm have been studied using an improved A.C. method of detection. The sensitivity of the apparatus is high enough to study weak photoconductors like ZnS. The photoconductivity spectrum of each substance showed a peak at the wavelength corresponding to the energy band gap of the substance. The energy band gaps obtained from the spectra are 2.35 eV for CdS, 1.6 eV for CdSe, 2.7 eVfor ZnSe and 3.6 …

Postglacial Environmental History Of A Marl Lake Site In Kalamazoo County, Southwestern Michigan, Valerie A. Naeve

Masters Theses

The depositional and ecological history of Oakland Bog, a relic Wisconsinan (16,500+300 years B.P.) lake site is interpreted from pollen stratigraphy, molluscan faunal assemblages and sediment facies. The lake basin, which probably formed after the melting of a late Wisconsinan buried ice block in the Kalamazoo Moraine Complex, is irregular, steep-sided and floored by glacial till. The till is overlain by as much as 7.6 meters of lacustrine marls which extend over an area of nearly 0.5 km². Basal marls are characteristically medium gray, clayey, and contain abundant calcified stem fragments of charophytes; however, the overlying marls display …

Socioeconomic Achievement: The Case Of The Working Poor, Manuel Vaz Pato, John B. Williamson

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

In recent years a great deal of effort has gone into the specification of causal models describing the social mobility process, but virtually no effort has been made to specify a model for the poor, a segment of the population for which the issue of social mobility is particularly crucial. In the present study we ask whether the process of socioeconomic achievement for the poor can be described using the same model as for the non-poor, or whether a separate model is required for the poor; we conclude that a separate model for the poor is needed. The data used …
