Charles Alexander Eastman One Man's Journey In Two Worlds, David Reed Miller

Theses and Dissertations

The recent historical resurgence in the study of American Indian culture has again revived an interest in the writings of Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman (Santee Dakota, 1858-1939). Dr. Eastman's life epitomized the struggle of American Indians to gain white educations and positions in white society at the close of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. American history has failed to recognize many American Indian leaders of achievement and importance, and this study intends to illuminate the details of Charles Eastman's active and diverse life.

Charles Eastman was born near Redwood Falls in the camp of his great-grandfather, Cloudman. …

The Relationship Between Pulse Rate And Speed As A Measurement Of Performance For Competitive Swimmers, Hugh S. Gordon

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose for this study was to determine the relationship between pulse rate and speed of performance in competitive swimmers and to determine whether the ratio of time/pulse rate was indicative of the level of efficiency for the performance.

The goal of competitive swimmers and coaches was to increase maximum heart rate and decrease swimming time. Since pulse rate was indicative of performance, it was expected that a high level performance would produce a high pulse rate. The effort involved in swimming practice therefore must be maintained at a high level. As a measure of performance efficiency, the best performance …

Women As Political Persuader: A Study Of Ella T. Grasso's Campaign For Governor, Ardyce Carlson Whalen

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis was to examine the persuasive strategies within the campaign rhetoric of Ella Grasso who won the governorship of Connecticut in 1974. In the analysis of the persuasion, a study of her political campaign within the context of a small industrial state is included. As an aid to understanding, the study briefly reviewed the concerns of Connecticut, introduced members of both parties who were interested in the governorship, and showed how Ella Grasso got the nomination and party support.

The campaign rhetoric centered around the issues of taxation for revenue, the utility companies' billing practices, energy, …

A Comparison Of The Values Between Male Athletic Participants And Non-Participants Attending St. Boniface Diocesan High School, Gerry M. Bolin

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to compare the values of selected high school male athletic participants and non- participants enrolled in grades ten to twelve at St. Boniface Diocesan High School. The instrument used was the Allport- Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values. The purpose of the test was to measure the relative prominence of six basic interests as motives in personality.

The population chosen for this research study was the finite population of the male students enrolled at St. Boniface Diocesan High School during the 1974-75 school year. Hie population was divided into two strata: athletic partici pants and non-participants. …

Steady State Fluidics: The Static Matching Of Fluidic Amplifiers And Loads, Frank J. Redd

Theses and Dissertations

"Fluidics" is the title applied to a relatively new technology which is concerned with the control of fluid power and the processing of information through the use of the fluid mechanical properties of the fluid medium itself. The absence of moving parts and the relatively low sensitivity to enviromental conditions suggest the probability that fluidic systems will prove to be faster and more reliable than the mechanically controlled (valves, diaphragms, springs, etc.) fluid systems which they are designed to replace.

Bench Scale Study Of Fast Fluidization, Subramaniam Natarajan

Theses and Dissertations

The technique of fast fluidization in gas-solid contacting was investigated. Behavior of ground sand (44-150 microns), fluid cracking catalyst (30-100 microns), and lignite (5-75 microns) in dense and fast fluidized conditions were studied.

Pressure drop measurements were made in dense fluidized beds of these particles. Incipient fluidization velocity ranged from 0.033 ft./ sec. to 0.066 ft./sec., depending on the properties of the particles. Increase in bed heights were up to 100 percent of the static bed heights.

Pressure drops and bed densities were measured for different air flows and solid flows during fast fluidization of these materials. Critical velocities of …

An Assay Chamber For Quantitative Analysis Of Nitrogen Fixation Using Intact Plants, Thomas Adrie Leslie

Theses and Dissertations

A unique assay system for quantitative analysis of biological nitrogen fixation by intact plants has been constructed and successfully tested. With the system, it has been possible to detect acetylene reduction by intact legumes in situ under laboratory conditions. This assay method is designed to approximate field conditions and in spite of possible procedural errors in sampling, background noise of the gas chromatograph and ethylene contamination of the acetylene gas used in the assay, this method is sensitive ·enough to detect as little as 1 ppm enrichment of ethylene gas as a result of acetylene reduction by intact soybean plants. …

Alcohol Assisted Hydrocarbon Fuels: A Comparison Of Exhaust Emissions, Power Output And Fuel Consumption Using Static And Dynamic Engine Test Facilities, Dwight J. Bushnell

Theses and Dissertations

America’s energy crunch— something new for a country that has been used to great affluence. America’s smog— an eye stinging, lung burning situation which the Environmental Protection Agency has "promised" to rectify. These are two outstanding problems that face the engineer and scientist of today. The end of the era of cheap gasoline has brought the beginnings of a quiet revolution to Detroit: an improvement in the efficiency, economy and emission level of the American automobile. Word has penetrated to the automotive engineers that the emissions level, fuel economy and automobile safety are the prime design considerations for the automobile …

Development Of Proton-Induced X-Ray Emission Techniques With Application To Multielement Analyses Of Human Autopsy Tissues And Obsidian Artifacts, Kirk Kay Nielson

Theses and Dissertations

A method of trace element analysis using proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) techniques with energy dispersive X-ray detection methods is described. Data were processed using the computer program ANALEX. PIXE analysis methods were applied to the analysis of liver, spleen, aorta, kidney medulla, kidney cortex, abdominal fat, pancreas and hair from autopsies of Pima Indians. Tissues were freeze dried and low temperature ashed before analysis. Concentrations were tabulated for K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Cd and Cs and examined for significant differences related to diabetes. Concentrations of Ca and Sr in aorta, …

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the most economically feasible method for high volume machining of a discharge hole in a power metal compressor cylinder.

Stratigraphy Of Offshore Sediment Of Lake Agassiz, North Dakota, Michael B. Arndt

Theses and Dissertations

Lake Agassiz occupied the Red River Valley between about 13,800 and 9,000 years ago. The Late Wisconsinan ice sheet that covered the Red River Valley retreated far enough to expose the drainage divide in northern South Dakota and south-central Minnesota sometime after 14,000 B.P. and meltwater ponded behind this divide in Richland County. Before 13,800 the ice readvanced over this area and then retreated again. As the ice margin retreated northward, deposition of the Argusville and Wylie Formations took place. Sometime before 12,800 the ice advanced again into the Red River Valley as far as Traill County; the terminus of …
