A Study Of The Effects Of Numerical Error Propagated Through Several Independent Stages: An Electron Optics Simulation., William Donald Webster

Masters Theses

"Presented is a study, combining numerical methods in a series of stages whereby each stage provides input data to its successor. A model problem from electron optics ii is studied in which a potential field is computed, gradient vectors calculated, and trajectory equations solved. Error effects in each stage is assessed for its influence on the final results of the numerical process mimicking the model problem. Error analysis is given in Appendix A. Finally, the superiority of Spline approximations for estimating derivatives is demonstrated"-- Abstract, p. ii

Reflected Surface Waves From A Vertical Discontinuity., Jesus Manuel Aboud

Masters Theses

"Surface waves generated in the field by small explosions were observed along lines parallel and perpendicular to a vertical discontinuity in a surface layer. Three types of wave particle motion were observed in waves incident on the discontinuity: retrograde, progressive, and shear (SH). Waves of the last two types were intense enough to observe a reflection, permitting calculation of reflection coefficients. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using reflection measurements to locate a discontinuity such as a fault zone"-- Abstract, p. ii

Wastewater Treatment With Activated Carbon., Chia-Soui Joseph Lu

Masters Theses

"The objectives of this study was to determine the capabilities of selected types of activated carbon as an adsorbent for the removal of organic materials from municipal wastewater and sludges. The organic sources included primary and secondary clarifier effluent, blended sludge, and digester supernatant. Two other organic sources, glucose and alanine, were also examined to determine their removal from aqueous solution by activated carbon adsorption.

The organic impurities, in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD), were reduced from 68 mg/1 in the primary effluent and 35 mg/1 in the secondary clarifier effluent to approximately 15 mg/1 for both. However, the …

Ultrasonic Instrumentation And The Dynamic Evaluation Of Asphalt-Aggregate Mixtures., John Edward Hill

Masters Theses

"Ultrasonic probes have been constructed for use in the dynamic and nondestructive testing of asphaltic concrete specimens. The probe systems exhibited characteristics superior to the solitary ii use of their main components, the piezoelectric crystals. The probes have the advantages of the reduction of ringing time, the concentration of ultrasound in one direction, the elimination of "noise" due to unshielded connections and the increased durability of the probe system.

The probes constructed were used in a limited testing program. Compression and transverse wave velocities in the specimens tested were measured simultaneously. Sample conditions suitable for maximum wave velocity corresponded to …

Disposal Of Lead And Zinc Cationic Wastes On Soils., Stephen Melvin Linnemann

Masters Theses

"The sorption and desorption of lead and zinc on soil samples from the "New Lead Belt" of southeastern Missouri and from Springfield, Missouri, were investigated using both column and batch systems. These cations were selected for study because of the possible effects which soil pollution in the "New Lead Belt" mining region could have on shallow aquifers and because both metals are utilized in the electroplating industry.

It was found that soil has the ability to sorb lead and zinc; however, the cation-exchange capacity (C.E.C.) of the soils studied was not fully satisfied, though there was evidence that i f …

A Comparison Between Direct Waves And Head Waves In A Seismic Refraction Profile., Nelson Jose Aboud Garcia

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to experimentally verify the theoretical prediction that the particle velocity of a head wave is the time integral of the particle velocity of a direct wave.

The procedure was to use small explosions in the field to generate direct waves and head waves in a surface layer of low compressional velocity overlying a higher velocity medium. The direct waves were distinguished by the ratio of frequencies and by the slopes in a time distance plot.

The result of comparing the particle velocity of the head waves with the integral of the particle velocity of …

A Comparative Analysis Of Selected Twentieth Century Watercolorists, Bonnie L. Ferguson

Masters Theses

My objectives in writing this paper were to research selected watercolorists whose work I admire and whose work bears a relationship to my own, and to make a comparative analysis. In the process of research, I found that not all of the work of the artists I had chosen related totally to my own, but there was at least one of the basic elements that did apply. I wanted to learn from looking at their work and reading about their philosophies. That I did; and it has stimulated in me many thoughts and plans, wishes to try some of their …

Reconstruction Of Childhood Nostalgia Using Mixed Media, William H. Christ Jr.

Masters Theses

The subject of children and adults within spatial environments in two and three dimension, all are included to form the basis of this thesis projects. The paper describes the subject matter by means of procedures, references, and methods of presentation.

Chapter I explains the overall problems, the materials incorporated, and shows actual photographs of the work. Chapter II provides historical precedents relevant to the topic chosen. Chapter III involves a presentation which uses three separate aspects inviting the spectator to join in and by participating relate to each experience in his or her own way.

Eight Teacher-Potters, Bob Daugherty

Masters Theses

This paper presents a survey of statements and the works of eight teacher-potters in Illinois. The works range from simple functional ware to funk art objects. The firing temperatures range from low fire white ware to high fire salt. The styles of the work are many; the philosophies of the work varied; and techniques of the work are diversified; but common to each work is its creation from idea to actuality by the teacher-potter. Beyond depicting the work, the paper attempts to establish the teacher-potter who created the work by showing photographs of him and by presenting his ideas and …
