Lawrence Yates Sherman: United States Senator From Illinois, 1913-1921, Jerome Bentley Holstein

Masters Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to consider the political career of Lawrence Yates Sherman. Sherman, who served as United States Senator from Illinois, 1913-1921, was a colorful individual in Congress during one of the Republic's more turbulent periods. As a United States Senator, Sherman dealt with many vital issues. However, Senator Sherman is best-known for his "irreconcilable" position on the question of ratification of the Treaty of the League of Nations.

Actually, Sherman's political career was much more extensive than merely opposition to the League of Nations. Sherman was the "favorite-son" candidate of Illinois for the nomination of the …

The Water Quality And Benthic Macroinvertebrate Fauna Of Lake Charleston, Coles County, Illinois, Paul Barding

Masters Theses

The benthic macroinvertebrate fauna and 15 water quality parameters for five sites on Lake Charleston, Coles County, Illinois were examined for 26 weeks from March 14 through September 5, 1974. None of the water quality parameters studied showed sufficient deviations at any particular area on the lake to merit demarcated water quality zonation. The lake, with its continuous mixing and shallow depth, represented a fairly stable and continuous environment. The benthic macroinvertebrate fauna was determined as fairly diverse and some indication of seasonal variation was apparent. No significant compositional variation over different areas of the lake was found, also indicating …

Determination Of The Ld-50 Level For 2,4-D On Wild Type Culex Pipiens Mosquito Larvae In Illinois, William H. Ettinger

Masters Theses

The LD-50 levels for 2,4-D and Ronnel were determined and compared on the larvae of Culex pipiens Linneaus mosquitoes. The World Health Organization technique for the 24 hour bioassay was employed. Ronnel served as an indicator of susceptibility to pesticides and it was found that 2,4-D is toxic to mosquito larvae with an LD-50 level of 1.95 p.p.m. It was also found that a concentration of 20 p.p.m. ethanol or greater causes lethality in the larvae.

Mechanism Of Solvolysis Of 3-Methyl-2-Butyl Brosylates., Luu Le Nghi

Masters Theses

"The brosylates of 3-methyl-2-butanol and it's a-d₁-, ß-d₁-, B-d₃-, and S-d₄- analogs have been synthesized. The solvolytic rate data for these compounds were determined. The solvolytic products in 70% (vol.) ethanol-water have been identified by flame ionization gas chromatography using a Carbowax 20M column. The amount of each product was measured by integrating the peak areas from the chromatograms. By analyzing the isotope effect data, the rate determining step is shown to be the formation of the hydrogen bridged ion pair intermediate. By evaluating the GC-mass spectral analysis of the isopentenes, a …

An Algorithm For Minimizing The Riding Time Of Students On School Buses., Dennis Ray Morgan

Masters Theses

"This thesis presents an algorithm which selects from a given set of stops a subset of stops corresponding to a given bus which minimize the riding time of students in going to and from school. The time required in picking up students at their stops and delivering them to school is analyzed. An example is given which illustrates the formulation of a problem and the results obtained from the solution. Finally, the program which was used in the solution of the problem is given along with its implementation"-- Abstract, p. ii

A Study Of The Subsurface Stratigraphy Of The Upper Cambrian In Western Missouri, Joseph L. Thacker Jr.

Masters Theses

"Megascopic examination of diamond-drill cores supplemented by insoluble residue data provides a usable means of studying the lithologic characteristic of Upper Cambrian strata in the subsurface of western Missouri.

The stratigraphic relationships within each Cambrian formation and the relationships of each Cambrian unit to formations above and below are discussed.

The relationship of Upper Cambrian strata to the Precambrian surface in western Missouri and easternmost Kansas is illustrated. The Lamotte Sandstone is overlapped by the Reagan Sandstone against Precambrian topographic highs and the Bonneterre and lower Davis are replaced by sandstones similar to the Reagan in southwest Missouri and southeast …

On Finding A Minimal Multiple Fault Test Set In Combinational Networks., Dang Quang Tam

Masters Theses

"A simple and systematic approach which generates exactly a minimal multiple fault test set T mm in irredundant combinational networks is presented. It is shown that the Equivalent Sum of Product of a given network contains all the information necessary to determine this minimal test set. The failures which may occur are limited to permanent stuck at O (or 1) faults"-- Abstract, p. ii

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 …

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 …

Minorities Are Not Prepared For Accepting Jobs In The Petroleum And Petrochemical Industries., Freddie Lorace Thompson

Masters Theses

"A survey has been made from nine petroleum and petrochemical companies in the Houston area to get recommendations on the training required for minorities to secure jobs and advance in these industries. Information gathered through this survey consist of the following; (1) recommendations on careers minorities should concentrate their training to secure jobs in these industries; (2) the demand for qualified technical minority graduates far exceeds the supply; (3) a vehicle whereby minorities can be trained and inducted into the petroleum and petrochemical industries; and (4) the companies surveyed are putting forth an honest effort to increase their job mix …

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 …

Esca Characterization Of Flotation Products From A Lead-Zinc-Copper Concentrator On The New Lead Belt Of Southeast Missouri., Kevin Leroy Purdy

Masters Theses

"Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) was used to determine the surface characteristics of products from an operating Pb-Zn-Cu concentrator on the New Lead Belt of southeast Missouri and pure galena and sphalerite samples treated with flotation reagents in concentrations similar to those used in the mills. The emphasis was on the action of surface modifiers such as Na₂Cr₂O7, starch, SO₂, CuSO₄ and NaCN in sphalerite flotation and in the galena-chalcopyrite separation. The objective of the investigation was to monitor the relative oxidation states of the mineral and reagent constituents and correlate these …

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, …
