Steamship Fire Safety For American Vessels From 1904 To 1925, Edward Francis Heite

Master's Theses

This study encompasses a period which was probably 'the most significant in American steamship history -- from the hurtling of the GENERAL SLOCUM (1904) to 1925. It is not unusual for a major disaster to touch off a broad investigation into problems not necessarily directly related to the disaster itself. Thus, such studies provide data of interest in a general study; this is why the present paper deals so heavily in events while stressing trends. Because of the range of some of these investigation reports, a problem presents itself as to the proper scope a paper on "fire safety" should …

Economics Of Defense Procurement And Small Business, Charles Sayre Karis

Master's Theses

Since the end of World War II and particularly since the Korean incident, military procurement has achieved a peacetime volume never before contemplated in our history. This high level of activity and the likelihood that it will continue for a long time gives defense spending a new importance in the national economy. It is therefore desirable that small business should seek participation in this new and large opportunity since it always has been in competition to serve other kinds of economic demands.

This thesis will examine the magnitude and nature of militacy procurement and the special commercial considerations involved. The …

Internal Business Communications: A Three Dimensional Problem, Stuart Ray Long

Master's Theses

Communications is a dynamic field -- a company cannot afford to allow its communications program to become static. As an accomplished musician must practice to maintain his skill, so must a company sharpen and refine its communications. Conditions change and the communications program must change to meet the new needs. This will require continuing application of ingenuity and imagination in devising more effective ways of assembling, summarizing and disseminating information to coordinate the functions and activities of the organization.

Foreign Aid, Lloyd Jefferson Barbee

Master's Theses

Our Foreign Aid Policy has been to help those friendly countries that need our assistance. There have been several times in history when this philosophy has not been to our advantage. A very good example of this was December 7, 1941, when the Japanese pulled a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. We sold or traded scrap metal to the Japanese for little trinkets. Little did we know at that time that the Japanese would give us the metal back in the manner that they did.

Mass Spectra Correlations And The Appearance Potentials Of The Major Tobacco Alkaloids, William Frederick Kuhn

Master's Theses

The main objectives of this investigation were three­ fold: (1) to design and fabricate a heated inlet system for the mass spectrometer; (2) to obtain the mass spectra of the major tobacco alkaloids under normal operating conditions; and ( 3) to determine the ionization potentials of the alkaloids as well as the appearance potentials of some of the major fragment ions derived from the alkaloids.

The mass spectrometer is designed to analyze only materials in the vapor state . Since some materials do not exert sufficient vapor pressure at room temperature under reduced pressure to be analyzed directly, it is …

Growth Stocks-Fact Or Fancy, Arthur Grey Staples Jr.

Master's Theses

Often in business articles the following remark may be seen: "If a company is to growing, it is retrogressing; for no business may stand still!" The sagacity of this observation with regard to individual enterprises cannot be stressed too frequently nor too strongly. Yet this truism becomes even more appropriate and apparent when applied to a nation's economy. Although this paper deals primarily with common stocks, seldom can any part of a nation;s economy move independently of the total trend. Therefore, a few explanatory remarks regarding the United States economy are in order.

Effects Of Surface Roughness On The Intensity Distribution Of Light Reflected From Aluminum Surfaces, Harvey N. Wingfield

Master's Theses

Only over the past few years have investigations of the intensity distribution of the light reflected from materials been attempted. Most of these investigations have been done by personnel at the National Bureau of Standards on matt surfaces, and acid etched black glass. It should be noted that separate investigations in the two fields, the methods of analysis of a surface's topography and the intensity distribution of reflected light from different materials have been and still are being performed. However, most correlations which exist between a surface's topography and its optical effects such as reflectance, intensity, absorption, and transmission are …
