Wave Demonstration Device, Glen T. Clayton, Harry D. Downing, Thomas O. Callaway Jan 1981

Wave Demonstration Device, Glen T. Clayton, Harry D. Downing, Thomas O. Callaway

Faculty Publications

Students often have difficulty gaining an understanding of wave motion without effective demonstrations being performed in the lecture. Many excellent approaches utilizing ripple tanks, waves on a spring, chain, rope, etc., are customarily employed. Perhaps the most well-known device for demonstrating many of the effects of wave motion is the shive or bell wave motion machine.1 The purpose of the present note is to describe a simple, inexpensive device which can be easily constructed by a teacher or student and can be used to demonstrate many of the properties of wave motion.

Stand Age Analysis Of Timber On Mississippi’S Private Nonindustrial Forests, Steven H. Bullard, G. H. Weaver, Willem W. S. Van Hees Jan 1981

Stand Age Analysis Of Timber On Mississippi’S Private Nonindustrial Forests, Steven H. Bullard, G. H. Weaver, Willem W. S. Van Hees

Faculty Publications

Most of the current pine timber acreage in Mississippi developed through the reversion of large acreages of agricultural cropland to forestry. Now that cropland retirement has ceased, management practices must provide· for pine regeneration on existing forest lands. Harvesting practices that remove higher-valued pine timber from private, nonindustrial pine lands have created large acreages of poorly stocked, low quality hardwood stands.

Products Liability--An Analysis Of Market Share Liability, David A. Fischer Jan 1981

Products Liability--An Analysis Of Market Share Liability, David A. Fischer

Faculty Publications

In Sindell v. Abbott Laboratories the Supreme Court of California created the market share liability theory of recovery for products liability cases. The innovative Sindell theory, which applies to certain products liability cases in which causation is either questionable or difficult to prove, departed significantly from the traditional tort principles of causation and liability. The theory allows plaintiffs to recover damages for their injuries, but it discounts the defendant's liability by the probability that it did not cause the harm.

State Regulation Of Social Services Ministries Of Religious Organizations, Carl H. Esbeck Jan 1981

State Regulation Of Social Services Ministries Of Religious Organizations, Carl H. Esbeck

Faculty Publications

Religiously motivated civil disobedience in the area of social and human services ministries of religious organizations has become increasingly widespread. With growing governmental involvement in the lives of citizens and moves by federal and state agencies to narrowly confine and define religious activities, it comes as no surprise that conflict over the proper role of the state has crept as well into the arena of social and human services conducted from religious motivation. The current litigation and legislation is principally focused on state regulation by certification or licensing requirements that are expanding from health, fire, and safety concerns into the …

Recovery In Tort For Educational Malpractice: Problems Of Theory And Policy, Robert H. Jerry Ii Jan 1981

Recovery In Tort For Educational Malpractice: Problems Of Theory And Policy, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

This Article considers whether denial of a cause of action for educational malpractice is consistent with recognized tort principles and the general policy considerations underlying those principles. After briefly summarizing three lawsuits in which the cause of action has been advocated and rejected, it explores the collision between theory and policy that permeates the decisions. The Article suggests that refusal to recognize the cause of action is incompatible with accepted tort principles, and that a cogent theory supporting nonrecognition cannot be articulated within the confines of the accepted principles and the general policies upon which those principles are based. If …

Null Faraday Rotation-A Clean Method For Determination Of Relaxation Times And Effective Masses In Mis And Other Systems, R. F. O'Connell, G. L. Wallace Jan 1981

Null Faraday Rotation-A Clean Method For Determination Of Relaxation Times And Effective Masses In Mis And Other Systems, R. F. O'Connell, G. L. Wallace

Faculty Publications

We determine the relation between photon, cyclotron, collision, and plasma frequencies which ensures a null Faraday rotation for electromagnetic wave propagation in a free-carrier magnetoplasma. This provides a clean determination (in the sense that it is independent of multiple reflections and the length of the plasma along the beam direction) of scattering times and effective masses in MIS and other systems. © 1981.

Model For Coal-Fired Reactors, Philip J. Smith, Thomas H. Fletcher, L. Douglas Smoot Jan 1981

Model For Coal-Fired Reactors, Philip J. Smith, Thomas H. Fletcher, L. Douglas Smoot

Faculty Publications

An axisymmetric, elliptic model has been developed for analysis of confined, turbulent coal-laden diffusion flames. The scheme is Eulerian for gases and Lagrangian for particles. The approach emphasizes the turbulent fluid mechanics of the mixing-limited gas phase reaction processes. The two-equation (k-─ e) turbulence model is used for closure. Particle drag and turbulent particle diffusion are also modeled. Gaseous combustion is modeled with a probability density function for the mixture fraction. Fluctuations in mixing of inlet streams and coal off-gas are considered. Coal pyrolysis and oxidation reaction processes are assumed to be slow with respect to the turbulent time scale. …

Second Annual Report Of The Independent Evaluation Of The California Master Plan For Special Education Volume 1, Patricia Craig

Faculty Publications

This two-volume Second Annual Report presents the results of the data collection activities during the first year. The first volume is a nontechnical presentation of the research findings. We have tried to keep it as free of technical jargon as possible and have assumed that readers have some familiarity with the California Master Plan. Volume II is a technical appendix that discusses in detail the methodological aspects of the work. The purpose of this report is to describe concisely, informatively, and objectively the status of special education programs in districts, RLAs, and counties. Most of the information presented is based …

The Dufour Effect. Iii. Direct Experimental Determination Of The Heat Of Transport Of Carbon Tetrachloride-Cyclohexane Liquid Mixtures, Richard L. Rowley, Frederick H. Horne Jan 1980

The Dufour Effect. Iii. Direct Experimental Determination Of The Heat Of Transport Of Carbon Tetrachloride-Cyclohexane Liquid Mixtures, Richard L. Rowley, Frederick H. Horne

Faculty Publications

The heat of transport of carbon tetrachloride-cyclohexane liquid mixtures has been determined directly by Dufour effect experiments. The technique employs a withdrawable ''liquid gate'' to create a nonturbulent, sharp diffusional interface. The partial differential equations governing the barycentric velocity, composition, and temperature distributions are solved with a Crank-Nicholson implicit numerical scheme. This allows inclusion of the composition and temperature dependence of the thermodynamic and transport parameters. For mean mole fraction of carbon tetrachloride x1 between 0.34 and 0.55 and for mean temperature T between 295.13 and 296.43 degreesK, the best least squares fit of the data for the heat of …

The Effect Of Dam Closure On Downstream Rapids, William L. Graf Jan 1980

The Effect Of Dam Closure On Downstream Rapids, William L. Graf

Faculty Publications

The force of flowing water and the resistance of the largest boulder provide a means of evaluation of the stability of rapids in canyon rivers. Field measurements and calculations show that the closure of Flaming Gorge Dam, Utah, has had a significant effect on the stability of rapids in the canyons of the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument 68 km (42 mi) downstream from the dam. The reduction in peak flows by the dam has limited the competence of the river to move boulders deposited in the main channel by tributary processes, landslides, and prehistoric floods. Before the dam …
