An Analysis Of Climatic Influences On Aggression, Alan M. Gonick Aug 1970

An Analysis Of Climatic Influences On Aggression, Alan M. Gonick

Masters Theses

The effects of exposure to various climatic conditions were analyzed to determine whether these conditions could produce aggression or facilitate shock-elicited aggression. Paired rats and single monkeys were used as subjects. The effects of independent and simultaneous changes in temperature and relative humidity were investigated in an attempt to produce aggression. Temperature, relative humidity, and length of exposure to climatic conditions were varied to determine if these conditions would facilitate shock-elicited aggression. The climatic conditions investigated were ineffective in reliably producing aggression between rats and also in facilitating shock-elicited aggression with rats and monkey subjects. Exposure to temperatures above 24.4°C …

An Approximate Min-Max Solution To The Identification Problem, Richard Loyd Warren Jan 1970

An Approximate Min-Max Solution To The Identification Problem, Richard Loyd Warren

Masters Theses

"A technique based on the min-max error criterion is proposed for identifying a dynamic system in terms of a discrete-time model from the system response to a deterministic input. A linear, single-input/single-output, lumped-parameter, time-invariant (at least during the measurement interval) system is assumed. Although the resulting problem is non-linear, it is shown that linear programming techniques are applicable if a realistic approximation is made. The technique is implemented on the digital computer and evaluated by considering a number of typical discrete-time systems. The effects of additive noise are also considered"--Abstract, page ii.


A Study Of The Effects Of Added Solid-Liquid Interfacial Area On The Stabilization Characteristics Of Simulated Wastewater Stabilization Lagoons, Gary Lee Gaines Jan 1970

A Study Of The Effects Of Added Solid-Liquid Interfacial Area On The Stabilization Characteristics Of Simulated Wastewater Stabilization Lagoons, Gary Lee Gaines

Masters Theses

"Wastewater stabilization lagoons have recently become a popular and efficient method of sewage stabilization in many parts of the country. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of added solid-liquid interfacial area on the treatment capabilities of simulated wastewater stabilization lagoons. The simulated lagoons consisted of six -15 gallon aquariums which were operated in the laboratory. The solid-liquid interfacial area was increased in four of these lagoons by suspending plastic panels in the aquariums. The lagoons were operated for a period of approximately two and a half months using dehydrated milk as a simulated waste substrate. During …


The Design, Construction And Experimental Verification Of A Split Hopkinson Bar, Woosoon Bai Jan 1970

The Design, Construction And Experimental Verification Of A Split Hopkinson Bar, Woosoon Bai

Masters Theses

"This thesis presents the design considerations for a dynamic loading device utilizing a projectile fired from a tube. Also included is a preliminary investigation of the stress-strain relation, under dynamic loading with the device, for a plaster known as Hydrostone. Design of the unit is based on the split Hopkinson pressure bar originally developed by Kolsky and on a similar unit in use at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Livermore, California. The strain pulses along the pressure bars are sensed by resistance wire strain gages and displayed on an oscilloscope. The oscilloscope traces are photographed and manually digitized for insertion into …


The Anodic Dissolution Of Tungsten, Ching-Lun Wu Jan 1970

The Anodic Dissolution Of Tungsten, Ching-Lun Wu

Masters Theses

"The anodic dissolution of tungsten was studied in H₂SO₄-K₂SO₄ solutions (pH= -2 to 2.5) andK₂SO₄-K₂CO₃-KOH solutions (pH = 11.5 to 14.5) at 25ºC. Faradaic efficiency studies in basic solutions showed that the metal was oxidized to the +6 state. In acid solutions, a thick protective film of yellow WO₃ was formed. Polarization measurements showed linear Tafel behavior (slope ~ 2.3RT/F) in the potential region slightly more positive than the rest potentials. An anodic dissolution mechanism is proposed which involves a surface film of W₂O₅ that is further oxidized to WO₃ and dissolves by hydrolyzation"--Abstract, page 1.

The system is to be used for the purpose of determining spatial and temporal correlations of lightning and thunderstorm precipitation. This system has been developed to gain further information about the cause-effect relationship between lightning stroke activity and thunderstorm precipitation. Data acquisition and processing is accomplished through the use of an AN/FPS-18 radar set, an SCC-650 digital computer system, a radar interface, and a set of lightning detectors. The radar set provides information on precipitation activity in a circle of radius fifty …


Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flow With Non-Uniform Inlet Velocity Profiles, Gwok-Liang Chen Jan 1970

Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flow With Non-Uniform Inlet Velocity Profiles, Gwok-Liang Chen

Masters Theses

"An analysis is made of laminar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow development in the entrance region of a parallel-plate channel. The problem is formulated in general for any velocity distribution at the channel inlet by extending the linearization method of Sparrow, Lin, and Lundgren for non-MHD duct flows. This method involves linearization of the inertia terms in the equation of motion by introducing a stretched axial coordinate. A closed form solution is obtained for the velocity distributions which are continuous across the channel and along the length all the way from the entrance to the fully developed region. An expression for the …


Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen Jan 1970

Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen

Masters Theses

"An experimental laboratory study conducted to examine clogging within and penetration of fines into a single layer graded filter. Hydraulic gradient, filter gradation and flow direction were varied. Forty one tests gave over six hundred individual penetration depths. The magnitude of penetration in filters with considerable variation in gradation patterns correlated with an average hydraulic radius based on the volume of voids and an approximated total surface area. It has been shown than an increased thickness of poorly graded filter will stop penetration such as that caused by seepage erosion. A relationship between hydraulic radius, penetration depth and probability of …
