A Study Of The Genesis Of The Pyritic Gneiss In The Grenville Series, St. Lawrence And Jefferson Counties, New York, Dennis O'Leary

Masters Theses

"The pyrite-pyrrhotite belt is a northeast-southwest trending area about 35 miles long and three to four miles wide located in Jefferson and western St. Lawrence counties, New York, within the metamorphosed Grenville Lowland just northwest of the Adirondack massif.

Outcropping within this belt are a number of thin discontinuous quartz-biotite-oligoclase gneisses with an unusually high graphite, chlorite, and pyrite content, known as "rusty gneisses." Sulfides are concentrated in these gneisses into zones of up to 50% or more pyrite. The pyrite is granular or crystalline and is invariably accompanied by large amounts of chlorite and graphite and local minor segregations …

The Realization And Application Of Parallel Linear Feedback Shift Registers, Ross K. Heitzmann

Masters Theses

"Two methods for serial-to-parallel transformation of linear feedback shift registers are briefly discussed. A third method for transformation is rigorously developed using a next-state and output equation representation of the linear feedback shift register. An algorithm is developed for simplifying the parallel machine resulting from serial-to-parallel transformation, where simplification is defined as reduction in the required number of modulo 2 adders. A computer program incorporating serial-to-parallel transformation and the simplification algorithm is provided "--Abstract, page ii.

Convective Heat Transfer In Small Cylindrical Enclosures Heated From Below, Donald Wayne Land

Masters Theses

"Free convection in enclosed air spaces is often of prime importance in the design and analysis of panels utilizing the insulating properties of air and other gases. Previous investigations were performed on very thin air layers.

This thesis presents the results of an experimental investigation to determine the heat transfer by convection and conduction through air layers with relative sizes in terms of length/diameter ratios of one-fourth to one.

Eight cylindrical samples were tested. Four had inside diameters of 2.0 inches, and the others were 2.75 inches in diameter. Heat was transferred across the air layers by both conduction and …

Infrared Spectra And Magnetic Properties Of Fluorine Substituted Copper (Ii) Alkanoates, Jose G. Rodriguez

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this study was to prepare some selected copper(II) fluorcalkanoates, investigate their magnetic susceptibilities, study the infrared spectra of these salts and compare these properties to those of the unfluorinated copper(II) alkanoates….

The experimental data obtained indicate that the copper(II) trifluoroacetate, perfluoropropanoate and perfluorosuccinate does not form a binuclear cage structure. Copper(II) 3-(trifluoromethyl) butanoate with a magnetic moment of 1.4 should possess a binuclear case structure similar to copper( II) acetate monohydrate. The structure for copper( II) perfluoroglutarate monohydrate with a magnetic moment of 1.63 B.M. should have a structure somewhere between the two aforementioned structures"--Abstract, page ii.

Characteristic Impedance Of Open Microstrip Transmission Lines Having Finite Thickness And Multiple Dielectric, Philip Julian Carter

Masters Theses

"A computer program is provided for determining the characteristic impedance of microstrip transmission lines having finite thickness. Infinite and finite ground planes are incorporated into the program. The programmer need only supply information in the form of a data card. This procedure is clearly outlined.

Graphical solutions of characteristic impedance for multiple dielectric microstrip transmission line problems are obtained using a discrete resistive analogue. Computer network analysis programs are viewed as having several advantages not possessed by the physical resistive analogue"--Abstract, page 2.

A Study Of The Complexes Of Diketocyclobutenediol, Stewart Michael Condren

Masters Theses

"In this study of the complexes of diketocyclobutenediol, squaric acid, the following original compounds were prepared: zirconyl squarate, indium (III) squarate; titanium (III) squarate, ruthenium (III) squarate, tungsten (VI) squarate, vanadium (III) squarate, and niobium (V) squarate, where squarate refers to the dianion of diketocyclobutenediol. Metal analyses were made on all of these except the ruthenium. However, only three of these metal analyses, namely those for titanium (III) squarate, indium (III) squarate, and zirconyl squarate, warrented [sic] further investigation. Carbon and hydrogen analyses were then made for these three compounds. From the percentage compositions, possible structures were proposed.

The tungsten, …

The Separation Of Optical Isomers By Gas Chromatography, Donald Ellis Carpenter

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to study the separation of optical isomers by gas chromatography. An optically inactive solid support was coated with an optically active substrate. Racemic compounds were used as samples. The optically active packing materials tried were d-tartaric acid, d-diethyl tartrate, sucrose, d-camphoric acid, d-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, α -methyl-D-glucoside and L-(α)-glutamic acid.

Racemic compounds that were tried included 2-butanol, 3-methyl- 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-octanol, 2-bromooctane, 2-methoxy-octane, methyl-2-bromobutyrate, and 3-methylhexane.

It was found that racemic compounds could be separated by using an optically active material for packing in the gas chromatographic columns. Racemic 2-butanol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, and 2-methyl-1- butanol were …

Some Aspects Of Transient Flow Behavior In Artesian Aquifers And In Hydrocarbon Reservoirs Surrounded By Artesian Aquifers, Alton John Nute

Masters Theses

"An analysis of the principal theories concerning the transient movement of water in artesian aquifers and from artesian aquifers into hydrocarbon reservoirs is presented. Various analytical methods which can be applied to depict the behavior of these two types of aquifer systems are compared.

Most aquifer studies to date have been based upon the Thesis Non-Equilibrium Formula. This equation has been used to calculate the coefficients of storage and transmissibility for aquifers; to evaluate well performance; and to investigate problems concerning recharge, movement, and discharge of aquifer water. However, one problem which still remains is that of accurately predicting the …

Basic Iron (Iii) Alkanoate Complexes, Young Hee Kim

Masters Theses

"Much information appears in the literature concerning the preparation, properties and structure of the basic iron (III) acetates...This study was initiated to prepare a number of the basic trinuclear iron (III) alkanoate complexes and to investigate the possibility of a common structure for all of these as suggested by the work of Orgel. The structural investigation was done on the basis of stoichiometric relationships, infrared spectra and magnetic moments"--Abstract, pages ii-iii.

A Petrofabric Study Of The Iron Ore Of Benson Mines, Star Lake, New York, Remo Antonio Masiello

Masters Theses

"The petrofabrics of the host gneiss silicates and Ovate ore grains were studied in thin sections of oriented specimens collected from widely scattered positions in the iron ore deposit at Benson Mines, New York.

Ten oriented specimens selected for petrofabrics study were comprised primarily of feldspar, quartz, garnet and ores, with lesser quantities of biotite and sillimanite. Petrofabric diagrams were prepared for the orientation fabrics of magnetite and biotite in eight of the ten specimens, but sillimanite and quartz were sufficiently abundant for fabric determination in only three specimens. Duplicate thin section and perpendicular sections were utilized to check the …

A Multiple-Input Chemical 'Memistor' For Adaptive Circuits, Richard Franklin Crall

Masters Theses

"A modification of Widrow’s "memistor" is made in a form suitable for extension to multiple-input devices. This modified form is extensively investigated using analog field maps, and through experimental testing. The multiple-input device presented exhibits good adaptive characteristics and reduces the number of interconnections required in the external circuitry"--Abstract, page ii.

A Comparison Of Friction And Drum Hoisting Systems On An Energy-Input Basis, Hemendra Nath Kalia

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is to provide a suitable basis for comparing the relative advantages of the friction and drum hoists under various conditions of operation.

Such comparisons are mainly and necessarily based upon physical characteristics of the mechanisms for lack of appropriate economic data. It is believed, however, that this inadequacy may be alleviated to some extent by substituting comparative theoretical energy requirements of' the two hoisting systems under identical duty conditions over a practical range of mining situations involving various depths and daily productions.

This has been accomplished by adapting a computer to standard mine-hoist design techniques …
