Velocity And Suspended Sediment Concentration Distributions In Open Channel Flows, I Chung Ho

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The energy given to the movement of sediment is a loss of energy from the water stream itself insofar as its flow rate is concerned. The movement of sediment is a complex function. One of the primary factors in the determination of the transport of sediment is to evaluate the sediment concentration distributions in channel flows. It is generally divided into suspended sediment concentration and the bed load. The determination of the suspended sediment concentration distribution requires very accurate computation of the velocity distribution in the channels. It has been observed that equations used at present very often lead to …

A Study Of Role Theory And Selected Factors In Relation To Mental Illness, Harlowe G. Hatle

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mental illness is a major drain on all types of productivity in the world.

A great deal of work is being done to rehabilitate the mental patient so he …

A Study And Analysis Of The Stochastic Model And Assumptions Used In Pert, Leon Burnell Ellwein

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years we have seen significant advances in technology. The present period has often been called the Age of Massive Engineering by many authorities. This high rate of advancement has been initiated and supported by the space race as well as the demands of industry. New technologies provide the backbone for new and complex development projects which in turn end up as management’s responsibility for administration. The importance of time and efficiency in controlling a project is at the top of management’s list. Many times the success of a project depends as much on the time of completion as …

Motor Proficiency Of Mentally Retarded Children, Carol H. Doorn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This paper is an attempt to correlate intelligence and motor proficiency and to determine if remedial physical education will improve motor proficiency significantly. The Oseretsky Tests of Motor Proficiency were used by the author in a test-retest situation during a six month program of remedial physical education. This paper discusses the mentally retarded students who were incapable, because of their limited capacities, of adequately to their environment. Society is becoming more aware of their responsibility in providing adequate programs for the treatment and care of the mentally retarded. According to the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare, 126,000 …

The following procedure was employed. Three hundred seventy questionnaires were …

Population Distribution And Mobility Of Deer In Eastern South Dakota, Rollin De Mers Sparrowe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Population distribution and mobility of deer were studied intensively along a 15-mile stretch of the Big Sioux River, and less intensively on an expanse of 1400 square miles in central eastern South Dakota. Objectives were to determine relative population numbers and distribution of deer, the extent of their daily and seasonal movements, and the principal factors influencing these populations and movements, and to test winter hard counts as a population index. Deer were captured in Clover traps or with a Cap-Chur gun and were marked individually with ear tags, ear streamers, and collars. Some deer were tracked by radio telemetry. …

Cytogenetics, Breeding Behavior And Tumor Formation In Progeny Of A Homozygous Triploid Sorgham, Peck Sun Lin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Univalents were studied in the microsporocytes of a triploid sorghum plant which was derived from a selfed haploid. At metaphase I, the frequencies of univalent varied with cell maturity which was judged by anther development. The developmental stages of anthers were E, M, L, VL, and VVL for early, medium, late, very late, and very, very late respectively. Univalents averaged 2.3 per cell at the earliest (E) stage increased to 3.9 per cell at the latest (VVL) stage. A similar tendency was found from L to VVL at anaphase I and telophase I. Trivalents were also studied in cell populations …

Some Operational Aspects Of The General Rental Industry, Robert C. Elmen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is evidence that the rental industry has now matured to

a point where significant management principles have evolved and with them accounting sophistication both of which are necessary for critical analysis. The purpose of this study was to establish an analytical framework with which investors, creditors, and other interested parties might determine the feasibility of establishing new businesses or expanding old ones, or for use in correcting deficiencies in operating results of existing ones. Financial analysis relies rather heavily on ratios as standards, or measures for comparisons. Ratios, in this context, can be in any form that relates one …

A Study Of The Comparison Between The "Joplin Plan" And The Traditional Plan Of Teaching Reading, Alice Mae Hippen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As a child progresses in gaining an education, there is a greater dependence upon reading skill. Each grade makes increasing demands concerning the type of reading and the amount of reading required. The child with a reading problem finds himself more perplexed and the learning task becomes more perplexed and the learning task becomes more difficult. The problem is significant to teachers and school administrators because the reading program must constantly be improved to provide ways and means of correcting the reading deficiencies of some students and, at the same time, of expanding and enriching the reading curricula for other …

Limnology Of Three Farm Ponds In South-Central South Dakota, Larry Kim Graham

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Physical, chemical, and biological aspects of three farm ponds in south-central South Dakota were studied from June 1964 until December 1965. Maximum water temperature at the surface reached 25.2 C, while water temperatures at the bottom of the ponds were about 2 to 4C lower than the surface. Light transmission was influenced by turbidity but generally penetrated to the bottom of the ponds except during periods of cloudy ice and snow cover. Dissolved oxygen was near saturation during periods of open water. Most chemical ions in the ponds increased annually from a winter minimum to a spring maximum. Total dissolved …

Factors Influencing Anaerobic Pond Treatment Of Meat Packing Waste, Tracy James Tofflemire

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objectives if the research were threefold: 1. To determine the effect of increased kill and loading on an anaerobic pond system treating meat packing wastes. 2. To determine the effect of recirculation in an anaerobic pond system treating meat packing wastes. 3. To determine the insulating effect of a meat waste grease-scum. The extent of the research was limited to the anaerobic system.
Samples and records were taken at the MID Packing Company from November 1965 through March 1966. During the first period of sampling, data were collected which made possible an evaluation of the effect of higher kill. …

Increasing Income On 240 And 400 Acre Farms In Lac Qui Parle County, Minnesota, George M. Gehant

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternative farm organizations for future modal-sized farms in Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota. The evaluation, to be made by farm managers, will be based on a complete operating statements. The summary data is presented in a tabular form so the all of the alternatives may be readily compared. The trend toward the substitution of capital for labor to decrease the cost per unit of production is observable on farms in Lac qui Parle County. This capital is represented in improved methods and new technology. Both of these may save labor by themselves, …
