Inventory Control Of Deteriorating Items, George C. Philip
Inventory Control Of Deteriorating Items, George C. Philip
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem of the control and maintenance of inventories of physical goods is common to most enterprises. In the past, inventories were considered as the 'graveyard' of American business, because surplus stock was a principal cause for business failures. However, in large scale enterprises the inventory system may become too large and complex to be analyzed intuitively and any deviation from the optimum inventory policy would mean substantial losses. As a result of the current small profit margins, proper inventory control has become even more important. The basic concept in inventory control consists of striking a balance between the cost …
Study Of Laminar Heat Transfer In A Cone, Chang-Shieng Philip Hsia
Study Of Laminar Heat Transfer In A Cone, Chang-Shieng Philip Hsia
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
When a fluid flows through a conduit of different temperature from itself, a heat exchange occurs between them. In studying the heat transfer of the fluid in the conduit we can obtain information about the rate of heat absorption and losses, the temperature distributions, etc. This information is important in design work and to aid in the correct selection of construction and insulation materials. Sometimes the conduit or a section of the conduit is conical, as for example the diffuser in hydro-turbo machines and air compressors, the nozzles of steam or gas turbines, and various heating or exhaust ducts. Usually …

Attitudes Of Registered Nurses In Designated South Dakota Hospitals Toward Aspects Of Terminal Patient Care And Euthanasia, Sharon Ann Hofland
Attitudes Of Registered Nurses In Designated South Dakota Hospitals Toward Aspects Of Terminal Patient Care And Euthanasia, Sharon Ann Hofland
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem under investigation in this study is: "What are the attitudes of professional nurses in designated hospitals in South Dakota toward the practice of passive and active euthanasia, and how do these attitudes vary when controlled for selected social and institutional factors?" Research related to this problem is important in that recent permissive legislative action on the abortion issue caught the nursing profession unprepared, and it is presently attempting to establish a position. To avoid a similar situation on the euthanasia issue, data regarding the current attitudes of nurses concerning the preservation of life and the management of the …

Model Study Of Laterally Loaded Piles In Sand, Jeong- Shwu Liu
Model Study Of Laterally Loaded Piles In Sand, Jeong- Shwu Liu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The most common function of piles is to transmit foundation loads which cannot be adequately supported at a certain level down to a depth at which adequate support is available. The classification of piles in terms of loading may be considered as vertically or laterally loaded. The laterally loaded pile is a structural member which sustains transverse loads in a similar way a beam does. The lateral force that the pile foundations is subjected to may be induced by earthquake, water waves, moving vessels, wind force, and lateral earth pressure, etc. Early techniques for analyzing laterally loaded pile foundations completely …

The hypothesis thus reads: When children are given opportunity to explore their individuality at an …
Estimation Of Plant S And Zn Concentration By Soil Test Correlation, Douglas Darrel Koth
Estimation Of Plant S And Zn Concentration By Soil Test Correlation, Douglas Darrel Koth
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Sulfur and Zn are two elements essential for plant growth. Deficiencies of these two plant nutrients occur commonly in many areas of the world. Zinc deficiency symptoms were noted in corn in South Dakota during the late nineteen fifties. In the summer of 1970, S deficiency symptoms appeared in corn (Zea mays L.) grown on sandy soils in Marshall County, South Dakota. Zinc deficiencies of corn occur more often when corn is grown on soils that are characterized by one or more of the following properties: sandy texture, low organic matter, severe past erosion, leveled for irrigation, high lime level, …

Determination Of Salmonella Species In The Big Sioux River And Development Of A Quantitative Most Probable Number Method, Myung Hyun Kim
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In recent years the pollution problems in rivers and lakes have forced the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration to issue requirements for minimum water standards for each State with an interstate stream. Since the Big Sioux River is an interstate river, studies are needed to determine its quality. According to the South Dakota Committee on Water Pollution, water pollution in South Dakota originates from agricultural, municipal, and industrial wastes. For the Big Sioux River, the municipal and meat-processing wastes are the important sources of pollution. Little is known of the sanitary bacteriological quality of rivers and lakes in South Dakota. …

Leg Strength, Leg Power, And Sprinting Speed As Affected By A Select Weight Training Program, Paul David Flynn
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In athletic activities, strength, speed, and power are important factors that determine how effective and efficiently an individual will perform. Present day coaches realize that in order to have championship athletes and teams, the individual athlete must have muscular strength, speed, and power sufficient to meet the challenges of prolonged strenuous practice and competition. Other things being equal, the faster and stronger man will be more effective in athletics than the slower, weaker man. Kirkley indicates that the use of weights for improving one's ability in various sports and games is now largely accepted by the world's leading coaches. The …
The Relationship Of Hitting Ability In Baseball To Selected Anatomical Measurements And Motor Responses, Larry Lester Edlund
The Relationship Of Hitting Ability In Baseball To Selected Anatomical Measurements And Motor Responses, Larry Lester Edlund
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Batters in all classifications of baseball, whether on the little league level or on the major league level, consistently strive for hitting proficiency. They know that baseball games are won by scoring runs. Hitting is a very important part of baseball but even the best hitters fail more than sixty percent of the time to hit safely. An example of this problem is evident in surveying the averages of the batting champions of the National and American League. During the years of 1928, 1948, and 1968, the National League batting champions had averages of 387, .376, and .335, respectively, and …

Manpower Training Programs In South Dakota : Socio-Economic Attributes Of Participants Associated With Training Outcomes, James W. Delong
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Because of the unemployment, underemployment, poverty and occupational opportunity problems experienced in South Dakota, it is appropriate that manpower programs currently operating in the State be studied. To maximize the potential benefits of these programs it is necessary to understand their structure, their purpose, their goals and their effects. Likewise, the extent of participation in the programs should be determined along with finding out what type of trainee is benefitting the least or the most from the training experience. There has been considerable research into a wide spectrum of manpower programs and manpower needs in urban areas; however, relatively little …
The Relationship Of Jump Shooting Ability In Basketball To Selected Measurable Traits, Donald F. Dahl
The Relationship Of Jump Shooting Ability In Basketball To Selected Measurable Traits, Donald F. Dahl
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The game of basketball has undergone changes over the years and today it is a fast-moving game wherein all of the players have an opportunity to score. The very nature of the game indicates that accurate shooting is essential to the final outcome. Sharmin stated the obvious, that in basketball, the team which wins scores more points than its opponent, and “Accurate shooting is the backbone of the game." This idea is supported by Benington and Newall who stated that "The skill of shooting has probably developed more than any other aspect of the game of basketball." Part of the …

However, the author also states that it is essential the wrestler be at a weight at which he feels strong and his body can function at its greatest potential. A wrestler should "cut" to gain efficiency but should not try to make a predetermined weight without consideration of his ability to function at that weight. Because the process of weight reduction is an integral part of wrestling and because …
