Amine Flotation Of Feldspar From Magnetite Concentrate., Gary William Hudiburgh Jr.

Masters Theses

"The gangue in some magnetite ore bodies contains feldspar; the alkali content of the feldspar reduces the usefulness of these iron ores. One method of decreasing the feldspar content in magnetite concentrate is froth flotation.

The amine flotation of feldspar from magnetite concentrate was investigated using zeta potential measurements, Hallimond tube flotation tests and laboratory-scale flotation tests. The zeta potential of various feldspars (microcline, albite, anorthite, oligoclase and anorthoclase) were determined as a function of pH; the point of zero charge ranged from pH 1.4 to 2.5. Hallimond tube flotation tests using two amine reagents were conducted on the feldspars. …

Barometric And Pump Test Determination Of The Characteristics Of A Carbonate Aquifer In The Vicinity Of Norman Creek, Phelps County, Missouri., Somchai Wongsawat

Masters Theses

"Carbonate rock aquifers underlie many parts of Missouri. As population and water use increase, these aquifers will increase in importance as sources of water supply. The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of barometric calculations and a variety of pump test evaluation equations to a shallow confined doloii mite aquifer. The aquifer is the upper Gasconade Formation of Lower Ordovician age in the vicinity of Norman Creek, south central Phelps County, Missouri.

The response of water level to atmospheric pressure showed that the carbonate aquifer in this study site has a rather high barometric efficiency (B_{av …}

A Systems Approach To Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Training Programs, Jesse Michael Haverstick

Masters Theses

"The evaluation of the effectiveness of training programs has long been recognized as a necessity in determining the allocation of investment. However, much of industry, today, still does not use an easily administered, systematic, and reliable method for determining training program effectiveness for their salaried (managerial) personnel. It is easily seen that determining training program effectiveness is not a one-shot, one-time event, but a continual process, whose aim, ultimately, is increased productivity. For the effectiveness of a training program to be adequately monitored, these four areas should be measured: (1) trainee attitude, (2) learning, (3) behavior change, and (4) productivity …

Calculation Of The Neutron Flux In The Side Regions Of The Prestressed Concrete Reactor Vessel Of A High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor, Richard Robert Kent Jr.

Masters Theses

"Neutron flux in the side regions of the High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor's (HTGR) Prestressed Concrete Reactor Vessel (PCRV) was determined using the Monte Carlo method. One quarter of the PCRV was modeled, with all major structures inside it, e.g. steam generator, auxiliary cooling loop, etc. imaged at their exact position and size. Initial neutron energies range from .001 eV to 3 MeV. Three neutron interactions were considered: absorbtion, elastic scattering, and inelastic scattering.

The flux was calculated for two different PCRV temperatures, 155° F and 647° F. The thermal flux showed a minor increase at the higher temperature. In …

Minorities Are Not Prepared For Accepting Jobs In The Petroleum And Petrochemical Industries., Freddie Lorace Thompson

Masters Theses

"A survey has been made from nine petroleum and petrochemical companies in the Houston area to get recommendations on the training required for minorities to secure jobs and advance in these industries. Information gathered through this survey consist of the following; (1) recommendations on careers minorities should concentrate their training to secure jobs in these industries; (2) the demand for qualified technical minority graduates far exceeds the supply; (3) a vehicle whereby minorities can be trained and inducted into the petroleum and petrochemical industries; and (4) the companies surveyed are putting forth an honest effort to increase their job mix …

Petrogenetic And Trend Surface Analysis Of Hell Canyon Pluton, Montana, William M. Johanns

Masters Theses

I. Introduction

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the petrogensis of the Hell Canyon pluton through the use of standard petrographic techniques and three dimensional mineralogical variability trends. It is intended that this study will provide additional information to the ongoing investigations of the Boulder batholith sequence, of which this intrusion is a part.

The Boulder batholith is located in the Southeastern part of the Northern Rocky Mountains physiographic province in southwestern Montana. This province is typified by numerous rugged mountain ranges of which there are two distinct types. The Idahotype( Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists, 1972) mountains, …

An Evaluation Of Tin Can Recycling In Kalamazoo, Michigan, Rose Ann Husted

Masters Theses

An Overview of Tin Can Recycling

Recycling Rationale

The economic system of the United States is based on taking natural resources, converting them into consumer products by industrial processes, and selling these products to consumers. It is assumed that consumers will use up all of these products. But this is not the case. The consumer uses only parts of these goods and discards the unwanted remains.

The Questionable Moral Value Of Major Characters In The Later Works Of Henry James, Joseph R. Fiore

Masters Theses

Chapter I: Introduction

As human beings, when we cannot see clearly into the workings of life, we call it ambiguous--and rightly so. Judgment of our own behavior and that of others is always suspect. We have a tendency to label this person as "good" or that act as "evil," but there should always be a certain amount of uncertainty as to whether or not our perceptions and our ensuing judgments are correct. Those of us who are literature have also, by habit, come to look at literature as reflecting the same standards of right and wrong, of good and evil. …

An Examination Of Countervailing Forces In Canadian Foreign Policy, James F. Hettinger

Masters Theses

Preface

Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau pointed out in 1968 that some seventy percent of Canadian foreign policy is directly affected by the relationship of Canada and the United States. Trudeau expressed hope that ways could be found to derive maximum independence from the remaining thirty percent. At the same time, Trudeau pointed out the need to decrease the presence of the United States in Canada's foreign policy. One of the ways Trudeau proposed to meet these objectives was the expanded use of countervailing forces. Since the time of this statement, Trudeau has turned words to actions, seeking a wider diversification …

Conflicting Perspectives And Policies: An Analysis Of The Failure Of The United Nations Capital Development Fund, Marjon Vashti Kamara

Masters Theses

The United Nations Capital Development Fund was established by the U. N. General Assembly under Resolution 2168 (XXI) of 13 December 1966. Its expressed purpose was to assist developing countries in the development of their economies by supplementing existing sources of capital assistance by means of grants and loans, particularly long-term loans made free of interest or at low interest rates.

More than its actual or potential role, the Fund has a symbolic meaning for the developing nations. To them, it represents the best hope of overcoming their problem of capital shortage. It symbolizes also the expected role of the …
