Meeting Wastewater Discharge Standards By Use Of High-Rate Infiltration-Percolation Basins, Larry D. Demers
Meeting Wastewater Discharge Standards By Use Of High-Rate Infiltration-Percolation Basins, Larry D. Demers
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Two fundamental problems have been associated with the use of large quantities of water – depletion and deterioration in quality. Present advanced wastewater treatment technology has shown that tertiary treatment of wastewater can produce high quality effluents, but large amounts of energy and chemicals must be sacrificed. An alternative to these costly systems is the land treatment system, which utilizes the soil mantle as a multiprocess “living filter” (2). Infiltration-percolation, a land treatment method, can be used for the reclamation of large quantities of wastewater. The infiltration-percolation advance treatment system has been investigated extensively by the Civil Engineering Department at …

One Blake : The Principles And Method Of Visionary Awakening In The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, Milton, And Jerusalem., Richard Lee Record
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Essential to an understanding of William Blake is the knowledge of his intense identification with the messianic "perfect prophet," described by the Old Testament prophets, St. John, and Milton, and of the thematic unity which this identification produces in his work. The principles which lead to the attainment of this prophetic role--visionary awakening--and the moment of vision itself are the raw materials for his canon and provide the framework for his three key engraved works. The principles of visionary awakening and the epiphanic moment are outlined in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, elaborated in Milton, and extended to all …

Physiological Responses And Thermal Comfort Of Subjects In A Tractor Cab, Kenton Richard Kaufman
Physiological Responses And Thermal Comfort Of Subjects In A Tractor Cab, Kenton Richard Kaufman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
P.O. Fanger of Denmark was the first scientist to generalize the physiological basis for predicting human thermal comfort based on activity level, clothing type, air temperature, air velocity, mean radiant temperature, and air humidity. Thus any activity level and clothing type, it is possible to determine combinations of air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air humidity and relative air velocity which would produce optimum thermal comfort. The Fanger approach has been applied successfully to offices and buildings. It would be quite useful to demonstrate that Fanger’s concepts could be applied to tractor cabs.
