An Investigation Of The Plume Theories Of Briggs And Hanna, George Kyle Cooper

Masters Theses

Many models have been developed for or applied to the prediction of mechanical draft cooling tower plumes. However, due to a serious lack of data up to this date, little has been done to verify the predictive capability of these mathematical models. This thesis attempts to rectify this situation somewhat by undertaking a thorough investigation of the plume theories of G. A. Briggs and S. R. Hanna. A study of their theoretical foundations and development, practical formulations, and ability to predict the height and length of the visible portion of mechanical-draft cooling tower plumes is undertaken. Detailed derivations of their …

A Stream Survey Of Riley Creek, Coles County, Illinois, Using Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Organic Pollution, Joseph R. Rowe

Masters Theses

A stream survey of Riley Creek in Coles County Illinois, was undertaken to determine ecological trends and the qualitative status of the aquatic community throughout the course of the stream.

The survey encompassed the entire length of Riley Creek from the area of its status as an intermittant waterway to its confluence with Cassel Creek. Sampling periods included the months of April, May, June, July, October and November.

Macroinvertebrate collections were made at six locations along the stream approximately equidistant from each other. The organisms were assigned tolerance levels as designated by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

Reactions Of 1-Bromo-2-(P-Tolyl)Cyclopropane With Nucleophiles In The Presence Of Crown Ether, Gerald Mccomas

Masters Theses

Reactions of 1-bromo-2-(p-tolyl)cyclopropane with potassium acetate in the presence of crown ether in various solvents (DMSO, t-butanol, and toluene) have been examined. No cyclopropyl products were observed, only ring-opened p-methylsinnamyl acetates. The trans 1-bromo-2-(p-tolyl)cyclopropane isomer reacts about 3.8 times faster than the cis isomer in DMSO, but only about 1.5 times faster in t-butanol, seemingly related to solvation factors in the transition state. Although stability studies indicated that p-methylcinnamyl bromide might be an intermediate, the rate of formation of this compound in the absence of potassium acetate was much lower than rate of product formation even in the presence of …

Long-Run Debt-Income Model Of Consumer Installment Credit, Tseng Ho Wong

Masters Theses

In the late forties and early fifties concern emerged in some economic circles because installment debt was growing more rapidly than income. Overextensions of debt in the long run were believed to jeopardize future prosperity of the economy. To demonstrate that the rate of growth of debt would not threaten future prosperity, A. Enthoven designed a debt-income growth model. Michael K. Evans reaffirmed Enthoven's conclusions in a later study. However, in 1964 and 1967, the model and its assumptions were attacked by Oliver and Chiu and Brosky, respectively.

This study tests again Enthoven's model and its assumptions using up-to-date data. …

A Concise History Of Education In Illinois With Special Reference To Coles County And Charleston Community Unit School District #1, William James Hill Jr.

Masters Theses

This study is a concise history of education in Illinois with special reference to Coles county, and in particular, Charleston Community Unit School District #1.

First to be studied is the history of education in Illinois from 1783 - 1860. The Northwest Ordinance, passed by Congress in 1787, provided for one section of land in each township to be reserved for education.

The intellectual climate of Illinois during this pioneer period, the first teachers, and the early schools, are discussed in some detail. Next, the study shows the development of subscription or private schools and their influence on later public …

Curriculum Development In Selected Sciences In The Secondary School, Norma Grace Hockett Bauer

Masters Theses

This field study was to help a student write relevant secondary science curricula that (l) may actually be used by the author; (2) used in training other teachers; (3) used as examples in other subjects; and (4) encourage research and innovations to meet changing educational processes. Each of the five selected secondary science curricula shows different development of specialization and adaptation. Aerospace is developed as a minicourse. Basic biology has fifteen units based on specific scientific concepts, with laboratory experiments, along with individualized research. Field biology uses community resources, experiments, local, state, and federal parks or memorials, reference books instead …

Implementation Of Ecology And Conservation Education In The Findlay Grade School, Ronald L. Hash

Masters Theses

I started this project to improve the teaching of conservation and ecology in the Findlay Grade School. I wanted more than a paper project. I wanted a workable program that would improve the education of the students and a program that would promote better understanding of conservation and ecology. I wanted more teaching to be ecology oriented.

The students of the Findlay Grade School needed more information, and a better understanding of how our natural resources affect their lives. The students also needed a purpose for conservation. This purpose could only come through better education in the field of conservation. …

Geology Of The Stateline District, Utah-Nevada, Terry Moore Collins

Masters Theses

"The rocks exposed in the Stateline District, Iron County, Utah and Lincoln County, Nevada, are Tertiary volcanics, which serve as hosts for gold and silver bearing quartz veins. The Miocene rhyolites and dellenites, a possible caldera, cupola-associated rock textures, and the faults and styles of deformations indicate the geologic setting of Stateline is in harmony with the tectonic framework of the southern Great Basin. Four map units, subdivided into nine members, are recognized. X-ray fluorescence analyses for SiO₂, TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, CaO, and K₂O differentiated the map units, while variations in the primary quartz, sanadine, plagioclase, biotite, hornblende, and total crystal …

Funding, Planning, Conducting And Evaluating Three Career Guidance Workshops, D. Diane Blair

Masters Theses

During June, 1976, three career guidance workshops were conducted for four school districts in Central Illinois. Funded with monies through the Division of Adult, Vocational and Technical Education, Illinois Office of Education, these five-day workshops established a model for districts of all sizes to follow in developing curriculum based career guidance programs.

The paper, "Funding, Planning, Conducting and Evaluating Three Career Guidance Workshops," illustrates the steps involved from the workshop's conception to its completion. Four parts illustrate the different phases of the workshops.

Writing a Proposal. Since a career approach to education is needed in the schools in Illinois and …

A Model For Evaluating The Effect Of Energy Reductions On Industrial Production Facilities., Eugene Dale Manning

Masters Theses

"The Energy/Production Simulation Model (EPSM) was developed to determine the impact that energy reductions have on industrial production facilities. The total energy requirements for manufacturing activities are analyzed for their effects on important production, ii which involves accounting for energy shortages as the raw material flows through all manufacturing stages to finished product. The computer algorithm presented herein involves a feedback analysis from the viewpoint of the physical units of the plant or facility in question, and is designed to aid industrial managers in designing effective energy management programs"-- Abstract, p. ii

Geology And The Barite Potential Of The Raymond Widel Area, Cooper County, Missouri, German Francisco

Masters Theses

"The Raymond Widel barite prospect is two miles northeast of Blackwater Town, in parts of Sections 23, 24, 25, and 26, T49N, R19W, Cooper County, Missouri. Reported in the area since the 1850's barite-galena deposits have been sporadically mined.

The Burlington-Keokuk and Warsaw formations of Mississippian age are exposed. The former is composed of coarse-grained limestone with abundant fossils, and the latter is a fossiliferous cherty limestone. These reach a thickness of over 200 feet. Local structures are not significant, but regional fold and fault structures are present outside the area.

Exploration drilling consisted of 31 drill holes ranging from …
