Theses and Dissertations

In 1912, the United States Congress passed a measure which granted free use of the Panama Canal to ships engaged in the coastwise shipping of the United States.

George Romney In 1968, From Front-Runner To Drop-Out, An Analysis Of Cause, Richard M. Eyre

Theses and Dissertations

The meteoric political decline of George Romney is unparalleled in political history and in the history of presidential campaigning. In the space of one year, the man evolved from the overwhelming presidential favorite of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike to a presidential drop out, criticized severely and even mocked by press and public alike.

There are many opinions as to why this phenomenon occurred. The press has opinions, the public has opinions, and the people closest to George Romney have opinions.

A step by step analysis of Romney's campaign casts light on these opinions and completely discredits some while validating …

An Exploratory Study Of The Characteristic Of Rural Public Libraries In North Dakota, Merilyn L. Peterson

Theses and Dissertations

The importance of libraries and their shortage in most agrarian areas prompted the writer to evaluate the libraries in rural North Dakota. This was done through questionnaires sent to sixty-nine libraries existing in towns with a maximum population of 5,000. All except three responded, giving a 96 per cent return. As the questionnaires were received, their results were coded and placed on IBM cards. The data were then processed to record frequency and percentage of responses to each question. This study reveals the extent of the individual library collec tions, circulation statistics, service to patrons, the physical characteristics of each …

Removal Of Sulfur Oxides From Synthetic Flue Gas By Lignite Fly Ash, Ellen Bernard Lukes

Theses and Dissertations

The absorption of sulfur dioxide from a synthetic flue gas by fly ash was investigatedo Tests were made by passing a flue gas mixture of known composition over various samples of lignite fly ash and then analyzing the samples by means of x~ray fluorescence

The significance of time, temperature, partial pressure of sulfur dioxide in the flue gas, and the composition of the ash was determined by statistical analysis„ Analysis of variance indicated that the four variables studied all had a significant effect on the amount of sulfur dioxide absorbed by the fly ash at the 99o5 percent confidence level,, …

The Production Of Activated Carbon From North Dakota Leonardite, Donald E. Schroeder Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

The utilization of leonardite for the production of granular activated carbons was investigated. In granular activated carbons it is desirable to have hard dense granules to permit use without excessive disintegration. Two methods were used to modify the leonardite structure in order to obtain better granules. In one method the leonardite was put into colloidal suspension with certain alkalis. Chemicals were then added to the suspension. The additives used were calcium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, and calcium carbonate. This material was then granulated by drying. The second method for preparing granules consisted in pelletizing powdered leonardite in a rotary drum using …

An Ecologic Study Of An Overloaded Oxidation Lagoon Containing High Populations Of Purple Sulfur Bacteria, Harvey W. Holm

Theses and Dissertations

Concomitant with the addition of large amounts of potato starch wastes to the Grafton, North Dakota, municipal sewage lagoon was the development of a new major microbial population, the purple sulfur bacteria. This study attempts to define ecologic relationships of the lagoon, with special emphasis placed on the action of purple sulfur bacteria in the lagoon.

Chemical changes in the lagoon were investigated by monitoring Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), sulfide, sulfate, phosphate, pyruvate, total carbohydrates, volatile acids, alkalinity, and pH. Lagoon water temperatures were observed daily. Microbial ecologic relationships were deduced by enumerating coliforms, fecal conforms, enterococci, total bacteria (TGE …
