A Study Of Some Heuristic Models For Predicting The Reflection From Spherical Surfaces., Bruce Wayne Rau

Masters Theses

"Four heuristic models' available for predicting the behavior or radiation Non regularly reflected from spherical surfaces have been studied. The four models include: the classical Lambert, the s-factor as deduced by Look, the Lommel-Seeliger, and the Euler's approach. Because each of these analyses was deduced for flat plate geometry, it was first necessary to integrate these flat plate expressions over the surface of a sphere to develop appropriate expressions for the power rejected from the surface of a sphere based upon e ach of the above theories. As an integral part of this investigation, various basic quantities were listed (i. …

An Analysis Of The Bourbeuse River As A Source Of Concrete Aggregate., David John Lexa

Masters Theses

"This thesis represents a study made to evaluate the sand and gravel deposits of the Bourbeuse River as a source of concrete aggregate. The Meramec River has long been a major source of aggregate in Missouri; however, proposed dam construction will limit the quantity available for exploitation. The Bourbeuse River, a tributary of the Meramec, was chosen for evaluation as an alternate source.

The study was conducted in two parts: an estimation of available quantity; a determination of the quality of the material. Quantity of material was estimated through an analysis of drill logs, correlated with the results of basic …

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, …

A Direct Measurement Of The Ratio Of The Reaction Cross Sections For Two-Photon And Three-Photon Positron Annihilation In Aluminum And Silver, Robert Maurice Heavenrich

Masters Theses

The probability of annihilation of a positron with its antiparticle, an electron, is spin dependent. Since both particles have spin component one -half, there are two possible relative orientations of their spins they can either be aligned (parallel) in the ³S, triplet, state with total spin component │S_z│= ½ n - ½ n = 1 n or they can be opposite (antiparallel) in the ¹S; singlet, state with│S_z│= ½ n - ½ n = 0. To conserve energy and angular momentum, annihilation from the triplet state must result in the creation of an odd …

A Study To Determine The Effectiveness Of An Interest Grouping Classification For Primary Grade Children, Dianne T. Mcafee Williams

Masters Theses

The purpose was to determine if a subject arrangement of easy fiction books, based on the interests of primary-grade children, and denoted by picture symbols, would make the students more satisfied with, and independent in, their book selections, as compared to an author arrangement of easy fiction books.

The study was divided into two parts, the former dealing with the author arrangement and the latter dealing with the subject arrangement. Tally sheets of student subject requests were kept by the librarian in a comparison of the two arrangements. Followup included questionnaires to primary grade teachers and librarian, and interviews with …

Implications Of Photogeologic Linears In The South Long Lake Area, Alpena And Presque Isle Counties, Michigan, Richard E. Kimmel

Masters Theses

There are numerous linear features in Alpena and Presque Isle Counties, Michigan, which are generally visible on aerial photographs. These photolinears trend in two general directions, northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast. These two sets are perpendicular to each other, and represent vector means of two fracture sets.

The development of the photolinears began in Early Devonian. Throughout its history, ground water flowed along underground channels connecting fracture intersections. This underground drainage network is responsible for many of the photolinears. Some of the photolinears can be attributed tb Early Devonian ground water activity and subsequent collapse of the Salina Salt basin, and some …

The Consideration Of Some Aspects Of Two Methods Used To Study Ion Association, Richard Karl Gard

Masters Theses

An investigation was made into the possibility of determining thermodynamic ion association equilibrium constants for salts important in the study of seawater using spectrophotometry and ion selective electrodes. Calcium sulfate was used as the test salt. The success of the spectrophotometric method was found to depend upon the choice of a suitable indicator and refinement of the proper instrumental techniques. The indicators investigated were 1-(2'-hydroxy-1'-benzeneazo)-2-hydroxynaphthalene, 1-(2'-hydroxy-5'-chloro-1'-benzeneazo)-2-hydroxynaphthalene, and ammonium purpurate (murexide). Ammonium purpurate was found to be the most suitable indicator. Spectra of these three indicators and their calcium complexes at pH 10 are included in the paper. The ion selective …
