Predicting Delinquent Sub-Types With The Social History Questionnaire, Charles S. Sulcer

Masters Theses

A major problem encountered in the juvenile courts concerns the large number of young offenders placed on probation, as well as the seriousness of their violations. Representative studies by Jenkins and Glickman (1947), Hathaway and Monachesi (1953), and Shinohara and Jenkins (1967) have pointed out the complexities of delinquent behavior by indicating that most legal authorities are often unable to determine who will repeat illegal acts.

This problem necessitates some objective approach toward identifying potential repeaters and non-repeaters. Such a technique would be useful in studying the early stages of delinquent behavior and provide a means of studying the growing …

The Effect Of Thermal Increases On The Acute Toxicity Of Copper And Hexavalent Chromium To Channel Catfish (Ictalurus Punctatus), Alan Kirk Millis

Masters Theses

48-hr, 96-hr, and incipient median tolerance limits of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque) to copper and hexavalent chromium were determined at temperatures of 50, 60, 70, and 80 F. Standard static bioassay procedures were used. The incipient TLm for copper ranged from 0.56 ppm to 2.15 ppm and from 22.5 to 39.5 ppm for hexavalent chromium. The 48-hr and 96-hr results were somewhat higher. The highest resistance for both metals occurred at 70 F. At 80 F, however, there was a sharp decrease in tolerance. Increased oxygen consumption and opercular movement offer a possible explanation since they would …

The individual variables were (1) time of onset of the problem: (2) peer group involvement as shown by amount of time spent with peers and age of peers: (3) probationary status prior to admissions: (4) academic achievement level at discharge as shown by grade level and reading level: (5) preinstitutional school adjustment …

The Control Of Noise In Urban Areas., Edwin Eugene Frye Jr.

Masters Theses

"Noise has recently been labeled the 'fourth pollutant' and defined by some as the 'unwanted sound' that pervades our work environments and the privacy of our homes. This concern for noise and its effects has resulted from our nation's increasing population density, the increasing use of mechanized conveniences, the influx and growing use of mass transportation systems, and the public's awareness that noise not only 'annoys' and can increase everyday tensions and anxieties, but at certain levels can cause permanent hearing loss.

In order to curb the 'noise problem' legislators and municipal representatives began applying legal controls to noisy activities …

Heavy And Alkali Metal Content Of Surface And Ground Waters In The Joplin Area, Missouri., Edwin Joseph Garrison

Masters Theses

"Over 50 water samples were collected in the fall and spring from springs, streams, lakes and selected water wells within a radius of six miles from the population center of Joplin, Missouri, which lies within the formerly active Tri-State mining district. The samples were analyzed for Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Fe and Hg. Water well samples represent deep (Cambrian-Ordovician) and shallow (Mississippian) rock sources. Statistical evaluations of the data were conducted to help delineate the patterns and causes of metal variations.

The Ca, Mg, Na, K, Zn and Fe concentrations, listed in descending order of abundance, …

A Solid Waste Plan For The Ozark Foothills Region Of Missouri., Don Raymond Swyers

Masters Theses

"This paper has been developed as a result of the concern over prevailing solid waste practices in the Ozark Foothills Region of Missouri. An attempt has been made to assess the present solid waste collection and disposal practices found in the Ozark Foothills Region. The analysis of the existing solid waste practices indicates that to accomplish the collection and disposal of solid waste in an efficient and sanitary manner with an acceptable level of public expenditure requires the establishment of solid waste management systems based upon cooperative programs of intermunicipal and intercounty action.

Seven alternative management systems for solid waste …

This method is presented as a. viable a.1ternative to the diluted constant volume sample by bag collection technique specified in the federal test procedure for emissions from light duty vehicles.

The instrumentation used for the acquisition of data was the type normally used for automotive emission studies. The four instruments used for exhaust gas analysis …

A Computerized Simulation Of A Personal Rapid Transit System., James Richard Cromer

Masters Theses

"The movement of people from an origin to a destination has become a complex and sometimes severe problem, The present modes of transportation available, which include the rapid rail systems, bus transit service, and the personal automobile, have proven quite ineffective in dealing with the situation, A new concept in the transportation area is that of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT). This concept offers a promising solution to many of our people and goods movement difficulties. Before this new system can be implemented it is necessary that various design, construction, and operational criteria be evaluated to determine the optimal system to …

A Planning Study On The Electrical Load Requirement For The New Town Of Pattonsburg, Javad Yousefian

Masters Theses

"Because of an Army Corps of Engineer proposed new dam on the Grand River 1 the original town of Pattonsburg, Missouri was to be inundated by the resulting lake reservoir formed above the dam. The city planners proposed the relocation of the town site adjacent to the new lake, forming a lake side community attractive to both a residential population and for industrial locations.

The electrical power loads of New Pattonsburg's residential, industrial, commercial, and municipal areas, as well as its street lighting power requirements, were planned for a population of 50,000. Statistical analysis of demographic surveys was employed to …

Flow Field And Heat Transfer For Developing Flow Of Molten Glass In A Duct, Russell Ralph Beckmeyer

Masters Theses

"The molten glass flow (temperature range 1300 to 1500°C) in the entrance region of a duct was investigated with numerical methods. The mathematical model was restricted by assuming: (1) two dimensional, steady state, (2) Newtonian fluid, variable viscosity, and (3) Rosseland approximation. In addition, appropriate use was made of the fact that the Reynolds number is small and the Eckert number is very small. The inclusion of temperature dependent viscosity and a Rosseland approximation for radiation produced from the mass, momentum, and energy equations a system of coupled, nonlinear, partial differential equations which were solved by an iterative finite difference …

An Investigation Of The Vertical Distribution Of Sulfur Forms In Surface Mine Spoils, Henry County, Missouri, Walter Carter Von Demfange Jr.

Masters Theses

"Samples of material in the spoil banks left by surface coal mining operations in Henry County Missouri were taken from various depths and preserved to prevent further oxidation of the pyrite in the samples. Quantitative determinations were then made for sulfate and sulfide sulfur. It was shown that near the surface the sulfide sulfur concentrations were much lower than those at greater depth while sulfate concentrations were higher near the surface than at depth. Since this is probably the effect of years of oxidation of the pyrite, it can be used to show at what depth the pyrite is being …
