Design Of A Radio Broadcasting Station, John William Hamman

Masters Theses

"In the design of any piece of equipment, before any work whatsoever is done, a reason for developing the object must be apparent to all concerned. Any expenditure of time, labor and money must be properly justified before action can be taken. In the case of this paper, then, the reason for designing a broadcast radio station for the Missouri School of Mines & Metallurgy at Rolla, Missouri is twofold: First, to provide an additional instrument whereby instruction may be given to students interested in the study of radio; second, to supply the residents of Rolla and vicinity with entertainment …

"It was the purpose of this work to make a comprehensive survey of the fish meal industry throughout the United States, to investigate the feasibility of increasing the production of fish meal along the Gulf Coast, and to propose a plant of assumed capacity for the processing of whole fish for the production of fish meal"--Introduction, page 2.

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Titanium-Tin Equilibrium System, James Eugene Reynolds

Masters Theses

"Titanium is estimated to comprise about .63% of the lithosphere and atmosphere. This would render it the ninth in abundance of all the elements, and fourth in abundance of the metals suitable for mechanical and structural uses, being exceeded only by iron, aluminum, and magnesium. It is approximately 400 times more abundant than lead, which is generally considered to be quite plentiful. The chief restriction of the commercial availability of titanium in its pure form has been the difficulty of reducing it from its ores. Several methods have been proposed in the past and recent years, and R. S. Dean …

Dust Control In Mining Industry And Some Aspects Of Silicosis, Mathuramuthoo Subramanyam

Masters Theses

"The deleterious effect on human beings of dust in mine air is well-known. It is the duty of engineers, therefore, to take measures to eliminate it. It is now definitely established that of all the various types of dust encountered in mine air, silica dust is the most harmful. This dust, if inhaled over a period of time, causes the disease, silicosis, which in most countries is compensated for as a physical disability. The prevention of alleviation of this scourge is analyzed in three broad aspects: 1. If the mine air is as clean as outside atmospheric air, silicosis will …

Graphical Cost Analysis, Pranlal Girdharlal Sheth

Masters Theses

"This study made in the present work is an attempt to use the graphical methods to analyse the various cost functions of mineral production, viz., cost of labor, and materials (explosives, supplies, etc.) and to investigate their behavior with regard to the production of ore. Graphs and charts show, in a pictorial way, the relative magnitudes of changes in the factors of production that take place with the process of time. Besides being a visual comparison of the various series plotted, the graph develops and build analytical thinking and permits one to obtain the proper perspective. Today, engineers, in constantly …

A Study Of The Ventilation Of The Hiawatha Mine, Menominee Iron Range, Michigan, Thomas Alan O'Hara

Masters Theses

"Mine operators in the Menominee iron range have become aware of the need for adequate ventilation to reduce the amount of dangerous dust in the air. Dust-excluding respirators and water sprays are used but it is apparent that the prevalence of diseases caused by dust will be appreciably reduced only if an adequate amount of fresh air reaches the working places. During the past five years the necessity for direct control of the underground working environment has become particularly urgent. The increase in production rate, with two-shift and three-shift operation replacing the single shift, has complicated the problem of dealing …

Analysis Of Simultaneous Faults By The Method Of Symmetrical Components, Robert Marshall Montgomery

Masters Theses

"The object of this thesis is to present a method for the analytic determination of fault currents and voltages of a symmetrical three-phase system that is subjected to three simultaneous faults. The fault analysis is to be effected by the method of symmetrical components...Though relatively infrequent, simultaneous faults are important because relay systems, operating satisfactorily for single faults, may fail to isolate simultaneous faults. Therefore, it seems worthwhile to have in convenient form a method for calculating short-circuit currents and voltages caused by faults occurring at the same time at three separate and distinct points of a system. It is …

A Comprehensive Traffic Survey For The City Of Rolla, Phelps County, Missouri, Leon Hershkowitz

Masters Theses

"The ultimate aim of this comprehensive traffic survey for the city of Rolla, Phelps County, Missouri, is to furnish a guide or pattern together with the necessary forms, maps and charts, that can be followed and reproduced by any city having a population of less than 10,000 in a study to determine its particular traffic problems. This survey should serve as a guide in determining what corrective action can be taken in connection with the following: (1) The improvement of location of state highway trunk [sic] routes, by-pass routes, auxiliary routes, and county roads in the city's immediate area. (2) …

The Influence Of Grade Strength On The Efficiency Of Gelatin Dynamite, Kenneth George Ackermann

A Comparative Study Of Some Rock Drill Bits, Paul Louis Terrasson

Masters Theses

"This paper describes a comparative study which was made of the wear and efficiency of different types of rock-drill bits when used under various drilling conditions...The four types of experiments which were carried out had the following purposes: 1. Determine the influence of the size of the bit. 2. Determine the influence of the design of the bit. 3. Determine the influence of the type of hammer. 4. Compare the performances of steel and tungsten carbide bits in limestone and in granite"--Introduction, page 1.

A Test Method For Measuring The Flow In Refractory Materials At High Temperatures, Christen Knudsen

Masters Theses

"One of the most important properties of refractory materials is the ability to resist stress which may either be directly applied or originate in the material. The factors which govern the resistance to stress include the modulus of elasticity, the ultimate strength under different types of stress, and the "flow" characteristics which become of importance when the material is stressed at the temperature at which plasticity is developed. Systematic determinations of the mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity and ultimate or breaking stress is rather difficult or more or less impossible to carry out at the temperature at which …

Investigation Of The Stress-Strain Of American Standard Or National Course Bolts, Clare Jackson Thorpe

Masters Theses

Primary Mental Abilities Of The Feebleminded, Dorice Elva Ames

Psychology ETDs

It was the purpose of this study (1) to determine whether or not some of various types of feebleminded fall down differentially on any of the components of the tests more than on others, i.e., whether or not the hydrocephalics, for example, would run relatively high on verbal-meaning, whereas the mongoliana would run relatively high on space; and (2) to determine whether or not, considering the feebleminded group as a whole, there would be any significant differences in primary mental abilities .

Preparation And Physical Properties Of Some Unsymmetrically Substituted Ethanes, William F. Buth

Bachelors’ Theses

Early in 1947, while investigating the potentialities of various compounds for use as liquid dielectric materials, A method was found for the preparation of unsymmetrical ditolyl ethane by a condensation method using sulfuric acid. This material was thought to have excellent dielectric characteristics so it was prepared and tested. The tests were favorable enough, to warrant further investigation into the field of the unsymmetrical ethanes. Being aware of the physical properties required for a good liquid dielectric; it was proposed to prepare a few of the related compounds for which no data was known to exist and to select those …

A Study Of The Prussian Blue Test For Nitrogen, Marilyn M. Erickson

Bachelors’ Theses

The problem of obtaining good nitrogen tests on all types of organic compounds interested the author as a re­sult of past experience in the identification of organic compounds.

The practical application of a positive solution to this problem would be an aid to the students of charac­terization of organic compounds. It is necessary for them to make an elementary analysis in order to determine the class into which the unknown compound belongs. A nitrogen test which will give definite results will eliminate any doubt as to the presence of nitrogen.

The Trivalent State Of Uranium, Virginia M. Kubacki

Bachelors’ Theses

Besides being of practical importance in the preparation of compounds, the valence of an element is of theoretical significance because it is a clue to the electronic structure of the atom. In the case of elements which have several valences the relative stability and the means of changing from one state of oxidation to another are also important.

Uranium has valences of three, four, five, and six, but the reactivity of the trivalent uranium ion causes difficulties in the preparation of its compounds. Dr. Scott L. Kittsley in his investigation of the trivalency of uranium found that it is possible …

The Effect Of Metallic Fluorides On Oleic Acid At Elevated Temperatures, Lorraine W. Dupuis

Bachelors’ Theses

The problem of finding the effect of metallic fluorine compounds on oleic acid at elevated temperatures was presented in connection with the thesis of J.J. Wocasek of Marquette University. Doctor Wocasek had used fluorine compounds as catalysts in a.n attempt to find a sub­stitute for tung oil. He used the fluorides as catalysts in the esterification of glycerol with unsaturated acids.
