Investigations Of Diversion On The Lower Mississippi River, Elmer John Sperling

Masters Theses

"The purposes of this investigation were severally as follows: (a) To determine the feasibility of digging pilot channels to scour out channels through the Beouf and Atchafalaya basins of sufficient size to handle the project flows contemplated for these basins in time of superflood. (b) To determine the best forms of the pilot channels and the best approximate dimensions. (c) To determine velocities conducive to erosion, transportation, and deposition; the manner and rate of enlargement under below-bank, bankful, and overbank flows; and the character of trace to be expected after enlargement of the proposed channels. (d) To investigate any suggested …

A Relationship Between The Mole Fractions And The Absolute Viscosities Of Blended Lubricating Oils, Ernest Reginald Epperson

Masters Theses

"The viscosity of binary liquid mixtures has been a subject of much investigation, but most of the work has been done with mixtures of substances other than lubricating oils. Lubricating engineers have found viscosity to be the most important property of a good lubricant, though up to the present time no one has succeeded in deducing a satisfactory expression by which the viscosity of a blended lubricant may be calculated from a knowledge of the physical properties of its components. This investigation has been an attempt to find a relationship between the absolute viscosity of a blended lubricating oil and …

Concentration Of An Oxidized Lead Ore From Southeast Missouri, Robert Edward Evans

Masters Theses

"In the main ore bodies of the Southeast Missouri Lead Belt the lead occurs as galena disseminated in dolomite. The concentration in the mills is by tabling and flotation. The grade of the concentrates and the recovery of the galena are excellent. However, in certain areas of some of the mines ore has been developed that does not concentrate so readily. Because of its reddish brown color this ore is known locally as "red ore", and the presence of oxidized lead has been suspected. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which oxidized lead minerals were …

A Study Of Poverty And Dependency In Phelps County For 1931, Arthur Royal Powell

Masters Theses

"The Ozark Region of Missouri is rapidly undergoing a definite social and economic change. thru markedly improved methods of communication and transportation the eighteenth century culture of this region is being metamorphosed into a twentieth century culture. Where the Ozarker of a generation ago was a strongly individualistic frontiersman in his outlook on life, he is now in the process of becoming a citizen of a larger and more complex society. The telephone, the radio, and the concrete highway, together with the cheap automobile, have made the customs and many of the folkways and mores of the Ozark people obsolete, …

Factors Affecting The Electrolytic Deposition Of Small Amounts Of Lead As Lead Dioxide And The Composition Of The Deposit, Thomas Gordon Day

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation is to determine the best conditions for the quantitative deposition of lead when the content of this element is below 5 milligrams and to study the composition of the deposited PbO₂. The following conditions were studied during the course of the investigation. 1. The maximum amounts of copper and zinc permissible for the quantitative determination of lead. 2. Methods of separating lead from zinc when the latter element is present in amounts greater than are permitted in the determination of the lead. 3. The separation of lead from copper when this element is in greater …

A Study Of Some Methods Of Concentrating Uranium And Radium In Carnotite Ore, H. L. Gibbs

Masters Theses

"Carnotite ore is a source of radium and it is the recovery of this element which is chiefly sought in its treatment. The radium results from the radioactive disintegration of uranium which is one of the constituents of the yellow mineral carnotite. The ores are largely low grade. Higher grade pockets occur scattered in the deposits and because of their irregular occurrence are not easily located. The larger low grade deposits which are more easily accessible contain considerable quantities of calcium carbonate and oxide minerals. These cause a high consumption of the acid used in the chemical treatment of the …

Historians in the future, will tell the story of the breaking up of the large farms and ranches into smaller units to provide farms for our increasing population.

The Probable Efficiency Of A Vocabulary Notebook In The Teaching Of Latin Vocabulary, David L. Megill

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Since the findings of the Classical Investigation have been reported, makers of Elementary Latin Textbooks have, among other things, stressed basal Latin vocabulary and English words derived therefrom. As a means of achieving a mastery of a larger vocabulary, they often advise the teacher to require pupils to make and keep a vocabulary notebook. Particularly this is advised in the Ullman-Henry Elementary Latin texts which the writer has used for the past six years. Upon submitting to the publishers of the Ullman-Henry texts, the vocabulary notebook which he had developed in teaching these texts, the writer received the comment that …

The Policy Of The United States Government In Its Relation With The Navajo Indians, Katherine Diana Brown

History ETDs

Although much has been written in criticism of the policy pursued by the United States government in its relation with the Navajo Indians, no investigations have yet been made to determine the nature and development of this policy. The writer chose the subject of this thesis with the hope that she might discover evidence that would make it possible to answer these questions; having lived in close contact and association with the Navajos during her entire life she naturally feels a personal interest in their problems and welfare.
