An Attempt To Unify Two Divergent Currents In The Art Of The Twentieth Century, Robert J. Hromyak

Theses and Dissertations

The problem was to unify the apparently conflicting themes of hard edge painting and figurative subject matter.

There are historical precidents for both styles in the twentieth century in the work of Kasimir Malevich and Piet Mondrian on the side of abstract geometric form, and Tom Wesselmann on the side of figurative painting.

Presented as evidence of the possibilities of such an approach are ten acrylic paintings and ten serigraphs.

Numerical Control: A Decision Model For Small Manufacturer Guidance, Donald Homrighausen

Theses and Dissertations

Much has been written about numerical control (N/C) and its various benefits and limitations, but there is a definite lack of and need for a unifying decision concept, particularly one oriented to small machine shops. Numerically controlled machining operations can be a major investment for a small shop and therefore management needs good guidance for sound decision making when it comes to deciding whether or not to introduce N/C to his operations.

This study examines the various aspects of N/C and categorizes them under three general areas: (1) technical aspects, advantages and disadvantages, (2) economic aspects, and (3) intangible aspects. …

Eutrophication Of Small Lakes, Lynn T. Kenison

Theses and Dissertations

An estimate was made to determine the amount of nitrate and phosphate entering Utah Lake in 1968. To make this estimate, the flow data for 1968 and the nitrate and phosphate concentrations for 1970 were used. This was done because of the lack of information. The results show that the total nitrate added to Utah Lake in 1968 was 7,638,000 pounds. The total phosphate added was 1,740,200 pounds. Of this amount, 12,4 per cent of the nitrate and 18.0 per cent of the phosphate was released from the lake through the Jordan River. The rest remained in the lake to …

A Computer Simulation Of A Partial Venous System Of A Human Lower Extremity, David C. Smith

Theses and Dissertations

The human body is truly a fascinating and complex creation of our Maker. Because of the complexity and variability, many of its workings were little known until recent years. Some of the more amazing facts of the circulatory system follow. If the individual blood vessels of a single adult, i.e., artery, arteriole capillary, venule and vein, were laid end to end, they would extend more than 60,000 miles. For the average adult, the heart beats 70 times per minute; for the well-conditioned athlete, 50-60 beats per minute; and for the extraordinary athlete, as few as 37 times per minute. The …

Conduction Error In Thermocouples Embedded In Low Conductivity Material, Tumkur G. Nagaraju

Theses and Dissertations

Thermocouples are generally used as devices to determine the internal temperature of any material. The purpose of the temperature measuring device is to measure the temperature which would exist at some known location if the device were not present. The thermocouples are embedded in the material in order to study the temperature-time history of the point of location. The presence of the thermocouple induces error in the temperature measured. This error becomes significant if heat is conducted into or away from the point of measurement by the sensor itself, or if the sensor insulates the point. This would result from …
