Computer Simulation Of Unsteady Flow In An Alluvial Channel By The Method Of Characteristics, Dennis Lynn Richards

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A number of dams have been constructed along alluvial rivers. These dams create reservoirs which serve to collect and store water, usually in large quantity, for use in supplying municipal needs, for supplying power and driving machinery, for furnishing irrigation, and for retaining the flow in time of floods. The characteristics of flow and the sediment-transport capacity of the channel change after these dams have been constructed. One of the major problems then confronting the hydraulic engineer is the rate of reservoir sedimentation and the change in river configuration. A problem of concern is the rapidity of reservoir sedimentation and …

The Rhetoric Of The Engineering School Controversy In South Dakota From February 11, 1971, Through March 19, 1971, Katherine L. Kodis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

On February 11, 1971, the Regents of Higher Education for the State of South Dakota determined to follow a course-of action that would eliminate the College of Engineering at South Dakota State University in favor of maintaining only one such college at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. This course of action was implied through the adoption of certain recommendations contained in the Master Plan submitted to the Board of Regents by the Commissioner of Higher Education, Dr. Richard Gibb.
It had been suggested, through the prior investigation and subsequent recommendations of various committees, that South Dakota should …

Speech Training And Speech Activities In Institutions Of Higher Education In Taiwan, Chang Yuh-Sheng

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An M.A. thesis in speech on the status of speech training in Taiwan, China, is proposed. From personal experience, this author has discovered some difficulties which Chinese students meet when they take up speech in American universities. The chief reason for this might be that the Chinese students who study speech in American universities and colleges have a somewhat limited knowledge of the speech areas and an. inadequate background of speech training. Since speech courses are elective in most of the universities in Taiwan, the students' interest in participating in speech activities, such as speech contest and ·dramatic performance, has …

Adjustment Of Rural And Urban Residents In Five Retirement Homes In Northeastern Wisconsin, Grace E. Kiefert

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The need for this study is indicated by gaps in gerontological research and information. Until the last twenty years, studies were not often made of the many aspects of the aged in society; and currently, many questions in this field remain unanswered.Some studies have dealt with the physical setting of the retirement homes, but the individual's perception of the home has not been studied. The actual physical conditions of the homes are inconsequential to this study because the residents' perception of the situation· is critical to adjustment. This will provide the focus for this study. The objectives of this study …

A Separator For Fine Sediments, Jung-Chiun Sun

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the field of sedimentation, researchers have been frequently confronted with the problem of separating fine sediments into different sizes. During the last two decades, much effort has been extended on the size analysis of sediments and numerous reports on methods of sediment size analysis have been published. Among these various methods, sieve analysis and V.A. Tube analusis developed by the U.S. Geological Survey have been found to be quite adequate for the analysis of coarse and medium sand of diameter larger than 0.1 mm (1). For fine sand analysis, some methods, such as decantation, elutriation, and incremental (2), are …

Buckling Loads For Partially Embedded Piles, David Allen Wahlstrom

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Piles are common structural elements used to transmit loads through weak or compressible surface soils to lower, more suitable soil strata. They are relatively small diameter shafts that are forced into the ground. Typical examples of pile utilization can be found at nearly any site where a major structure is being constructed. Many waterfront structures are built on partially embedded piles. In this case, the pile transfers the load of the structure to the lower soil strata and also serves as a column for the portion of the structure above the mud line. Many bridges and buildings are also supported …

Finite-Difference Solution For Flow Over A Rough Porous Plate With Mass Transfer, Hwai-Way Wen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study of flow over a plate with surface blowing or suction has become very important during recent years due to the increased interest in modifying the temperature or flow characteristics of the boundary layer. Many investigators have studied laminar and turbulent boundary layer flows over smooth surfaces; however, in practical applications, especially under high free stream velocity, the surface cannot be considered hydraulically smooth, and the fluid in turbulent rather than laminar. In this study, the numerical solution for turbulent flow over a rough porous plate with variable surface mass transfer is presented.

A Comparison Of An Individualized English Program With A Traditional English Program In Desmet High School, Beverly Jean Wolkow

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With the incredible amount of information being uncovered each day and with the emphasis swinging from subject-centered curriculum to child-centered curriculum, education is in turmoil. Educators realize students cannot learn all the facts needed for the future. Since many people will have to retrain for new jobs several times in their lifetimes, students today probably cannot even learn enough for continuous occupation. To meet these challenges, educators have been searching for new methods of organization and instruction. One such method is individualized instruction. The purpose of initiating and studying a program of individualized instruction in English was to establish the …

Selected Determinants Of The Hiring Policy Of Employers Relative To Businesses In Five Counties Of South Dakota, Don Martin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Description of the Problem For nearly everyone in our society, remunerative work has provided a meaningful role. It also provided an avenue for the attainment of respect, dignity, and the essentials of the "good life." On the other hand, unemployment has necessitated reliance on programs for the indigent and unemployed. The central focus of this study was the Janus-headed problem of unemployment and underemployment. The approach was oriented to a level of organization which has not previously been adequately explored. Unlike most of the studies which have attempted to meliorate the exigencies of unemployment, this study focused on the needs …

The Relationship Of Forward Pass Catching Ability In Football And Selected Anatomical Measurements And Motor Responses, Marlin Peter Vis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

American football has undergone many significant changes since its first recorded game between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869. Once change has been the growth in the importance of the forward pass to the offense. Rockne cites the year 1912 as a turning point of the growth in popularity of football. It was during this year that the Rules Committee removed many of the restrictions against the forward pass and made more definite the penalties against interfering with the receiver. Rockne states that this increase in the popularity of football is due “entirely to the open game, to the increase of …
