An Investigation Of The Vocal Phonic Abilities Of Children With Normal Speech And Articulation Disorders, Orville Wilson Wensley

Masters Theses

Introduction

Much of the recent literature dealing with the etiology and treatment of functional articulatory defects, has been concerned with perceptual aspects of the problem. Many clinicians feel that it is in the area of perceptual deficiences that most of the causes of articulatory defects occur, even though research does not support that opinion.

An Exploratory Study Of Differential Diadochokinesis, Marie C. Crickmay

Masters Theses

Introduction

In speech man is forced to use organs, muscles and groups of muscles whose basic function is to serve other purposes, namely, to chew, to suck and swallow, movements which are relatively slow and primitive in execution. But in articulate speech it is necessary to manipulate these same organs and muscles at a faster speech, and with far greater precision than was required of them in the performance of their basic function.

Geology Of The Northwest Quarter Of The Washington Quadrangle, Missouri, James Anthony Martin

Masters Theses

"This report presents the results of detailed mapping of the geology of the northwest quarter of the Washington Quadrangle, Missouri. Extensive mapping and stratigraphic work have been done in St. Louis and St. Charles Counties to the east and in Callaway and Boone Counties to the west. These two well studied areas are separated by approximately 45 miles. This study adds geologic information to the area immediately between the above locations. In this area a gentle regional dip to the north permits a study of sediments ranging in age from lower Ordovician in the south to late Paleozoic and Pleistocene …

An Investigation Of The Internal Friction Of Manganese-Copper Alloys, Ed. (Edward) Sickafus

Masters Theses

"Internal friction is defined as the ability of a vibrating solid to convert its mechanical energy of vibration into heat, even when completely isolated from its surroundings. (1) The most familiar manifestation of internal friction is the damping of a freely vibrating body, such as a torsional pendulum. Another example would be the increased width of the resonance peak observed when a nonelastic body is forced to vibrate over a spectrum of frequencies.(2) Internal friction manifests itself in numerous ways, and we will here be concerned with the first example cited and the potency of data gained in studying the …

Determination Of The Effect Of Air-Entraining Agents On Certain Physical Properties Of Concrete At Early Ages, James Arthur Spilman

Masters Theses

"Air entrained concrete over the past eighteen years has received national recognition as a result of its satisfactory performance in highway concrete pavements and other concrete structures subjected to outside exposure.

Numerous highway departments over the entire United States have laid test slabs made of air entrained concrete. Among those to date are Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Illinois, Missouri and California. The primary purpose in building these test slabs was to investigate their durability or resistance to freezing and thawing and the action of various salts on air entrained concrete. The results of the test …

Thermal Conductivity Of Sodium Chloride Within The Temperature Range 375°K To 637°K, Paul E. Ohlsen

Masters Theses

"The transport of heat in dielectric solids is attributed entirely to lattice waves whereas in metals there is in addition a transfer by the flow of valence electrons. The thermal conductivity of a non-electrical-conductor is limited by a number of scattering processes giving rise to thermal resistances. Scattering results from impurity atoms and from vacancies and dislocations within the crystal structure and from the interaction of the lattice vibrations amongst themselves. Scattering also occurs at the boundaries of the crystal. The thermal resistance of an ideal crystal at low temperatures is due almost entirely to boundary scattering and at high …

The Effect Of Ph On Phase Reversals Of Protein-Stabilized Emulsions, Samuel Arthur Bradford

Masters Theses

"The phase reversal of an emulsion from a system in which oil droplets are dispersed in a water medium to a system in which water droplets are dispersed in oil is dependent upon the interfacial characteristics of the liquids and the emulsifying agent being used, as well as the volume ratio of the two liquid phases. A preliminary investigation at this institution has indicated a possible relationship between phase reversal and the isoelectric point of gelatin used as the emulsifying agent. Since the properties of proteins vary so greatly with the hydrogen ion concentration, particularly near their isoelectric points, research …

The Thermal Conductivity Of Potassium Chloride At Elevated Temperatures, Wendell D. Miller

Masters Theses

"The transport of heat in solids is attributed to the combined effect of the quantized vibrations of lattice points, or phonons, and the flow of valence electrons. In dielectric solids, the thermal conductivity is due almost entirely to phonons, while in metals the latter method preponderates. Scattering processes in dielectric solids, giving rise to thermal resistance, also serve to limit the thermal conductivity. Scattering results from vacancies, dislocations, interstitial atoms and phonon interaction. Crystal boundaries also function as scattering points and in crystals of small dimensions, this process is the most pronounced conductivity-limiting factor. At low temperatures the thermal resistance …

Direct Correlation Functions For Liquid Argon, Arthur Reetz Jr.

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this research is to obtain the direct interaction functions from the liquid argon x-ray scattering structure factors of Eisenstein at various temperatures and over a wide range of interatomic separations"--Introduction, page 1.

Geothermometry At The Balmat No. 2 Mine, New York By The Fes-Zns System, Bruce R. Doe

Masters Theses

"Definition Of The Study. The study consists of an investigation of the variation in the temperature of formation of sphalerite on the 500 and 1500 ft levels of the Balmat zinc deposit at Balmat, New York. A subsidiary investigation was performed on the use of x-ray fluorescence as a means of chemical quantitative analysis. Twelve samples of sphalerite from the 500 ft level and 13 samples from the 1500 ft level were analyzed for atomic percent iron content by measuring Zn/Fe x-ray fluorescent ratios. The x-ray fluorescent ratios were standardized by ''wet" quantitative analysis. The results of the analyses are …

A Study Of The Deleading Of Zinc Sulfide Concentrates, Larry Leroy Gidley

Masters Theses

"The object of this research was to study the basic principles and optimum conditions for the deleading of commercial zinc sulfide concentrates by sublimation of the lead in the form of a sulfide. Present commercial practice conducts this sublimation in hearth roasters. This research considered only the variables affecting sublimation of the lead sulfide, not the types of applicable equipment, or other possible processes. However, the laboratory conditions were at least partially similar to those that could be obtained in commercial practice"--Object, page 1.

Development Of Large Hole Burn Cut Drift Rounds, Joseph J. Yancik Jr.

Masters Theses

"A decided change in the attitudes of mining management toward the need for mine research has taken place during the past decade. More emphasis is being placed not only on the improvement of existing mining methods, but also on the adaptation of new ideas. As the depletion of the high grade ore deposits in this country becomes a reality, the need for reducing the costs of mining is pressing. The successful exploitation of low grade ore bodies will depend upon the continued advancement in the science of mining.

The methods used today in driving a small drift or tunnel in …
