Standards Of Criticism For The American Novel, Marie Dwyer

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis has been worked out so that I shall have some criteria for judging novels. I have ventured to write about modern novelists about whom critics are not agreed; my interest is not so much in that they said of certain authors as it is in determining why they accept some and reject others, and what they use as their basis of judging.

The technique of the novel, and its approach to great art was developed in order to gain a feeling for the novel apart from any country or section.

If undue emphasis has been placed upon the …

Beneficiation Of Manganese Ores, Michael V. Healey

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation is to study the means of beneficiating domestic manganese ores in order that a marketable product may be made. Within the limits of the paper the term "Manganese ores" is applied to those ores mined primarily for their manganese content, to the exclusion of manganiferous iron and silver ores"--Object, page 1.

A Study Of Crime And Criminal Statistics Of Phelps County, State Of Missouri, For The Period 1899-1929, Walter Llyn Bradford

Masters Theses

"It is only within very recent years that the study of Human Society has been undertaken in a really scientific manner. It is true that the social problems have been studied and ideas suggested and discussed for their solution since the very beginning of social organization, for nowhere has there been found a state of society so perfect that all members are completely satisfied with their well-being under it...The study of crime is a part of the science of sociology and must be made according to the same methods as apply to all other kinds of social phenomena"--Introduction, page 1-3.

Elutriation Of Flotation Products, Guenther Walter Frotscher

Masters Theses

"Since the first application of the flotation process in ore dressing practice, engineers have been busy solving the most delicate relations of metal distribution in the minerals to be treated...The desire for more information was the reason for research concerning the mineral distribution in fine flotation material with particular attention to the development of a suitable laboratory method of hydraulic classification or, as it is especially called, elutriation"--Introduction, page 1-4.

A Study Of Ball Mills, Robert Lee Kidd

Masters Theses

"The study of the ball mill is very complicated, due to the varying conditions existing in the mill. Some of these conditions are: Size of grinding media, size of feed, moisture content, and speed with its effect on the paths of the grinding media. A brief history of fine grinding will first be outlines, after which some of the theories of ball milling will be stated. Then the paths of the grinding media will be given some attention, and a new point of view about the trajectory will be brought out"--Introduction, page 2.

The Concept Of Social Determinism As A Motivating Influence In Some Modern Tragedy, Arthur Lenox Bradford

Masters Theses

"The term, "social determinism", is a rather unfortunate designation for the absolute conditioning of human character by the aggregate of biologic and social influences...The central idea of this positivistic interpretation is that man, along with all other organic things, is the product of hereditary accidence and environmental contacts, that his psychic and physical constitutions (if there be such differentiation) are fashioned to the minutest detail by circumstance, and that his thoughts and the chemic impulses of his nature appear precisely according to his character which he has no hand in making"--Introduction, page 2-3.

The Change In The Order Of Catalytic Action Of Lithium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, And Calcium Chloride In The Ketonic Splitting Of Ethyl Acetoacetate, Richard Dwight Duff

Masters Theses

"The catalytic action of neutral salts on many reactions has been investigated under various conditions, and a large number of explanations have been put forward. In this work the catalytic action of normal solutions of lithium chloride, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, and calcium chloride in the presence of .1 N. hydrochloric acid on the ketonic splitting of ethyl acetoacetate has been investigated at several temperatures between 80⁰C. and 95⁰C. An attempt has been made to explain the results obtained"--Introduction, page 1.

Reaction Of Metallic Iron And Copper Sulphate In The Flotation Of Sphalerite, Charles Wilson Ambler

Masters Theses

"Copper sulphate is a common flotation reagent for blende ores. Metallic iron is also present in the mill circuit and a reaction between the iron and the salt would be in accord with well known chemistry. The abundance of metallic iron in a flotation feed may be noted by the examination of any feed. It originates, first of all, in the mine, then the coarse crushing machines contribute their share, and finally the fine grinding medium is a large contributor. If the grinding is with cast iron balls in amount of metallics is greater than when steel is used. In …

A Study Of The Basal Cherokee In The Rolla Area, Thomas Daniel Murphy

Masters Theses

"The occurrence of outliers of Pennsylvanian age, probably Cherokee, in and about Rolla has long been known. The Bureau of Geology and Mines and the Department of Geology of the School of Mines at Rolla have been greatly interested in the many stratigraphic problems presents. The writer has, therefore, undertaken field and laboratory studies of certain of these problems"--Introduction, page [1].

A Study Of The Determination Of Fluorine And Other Constituents In Fluorspar, Robert Knowlton Grantham

Masters Theses

"A method for the determination of certain constituents in fluorspar has been studied. Fluorspar can be complete decomposed by fuming with perchloric acid. Agitation and boiling is essential to a rapid and quantitative decomposition. Lead, ferric oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide and total calcium have been quantitatively determined in the solution obtained by the perchloric acid method of decomposition. Silica cannot be determined quantitatively by the use of perchloric acid alone. Preferential solution of calcium carbonate by means of very dilute perchloric acid cannot be used as a method for determining calcium in carbonates in the presence of calcium fluoride"--Summary, …

Electricity In The Modern Theatre, Pearl Bartley

Graduate Thesis Collection

It is the aim and purpose of this thesis to show that electricity in the modern theatre is a useful and necessary commodity. Also that the effects gained through the development of electrical equipment add to the effectiveness of plays as produced by the modern theatre. It is desired to show that electrical current will continue to be used in the stage lighting of the future although the present method used may become obsolete.

The Regulation Of Child Labor By Federal Legislation, Forrest R. Caldwell

Graduate Thesis Collection

Within the last decade the people of the United States have been endeavoring, through recognized legislative channels, to decide the problem as to whether the federal govenment of the country, acting through the medium of an amendment to the United States Constitution, should be commissioned to assume responsibility for the protection of the welfare of all children, and to control the working activities of these children during the periods of childhood and adolescence.

Bride Of The Sun, Carl N. Taylor

English Language and Literature ETDs

It was in the time long ago. The People of the Sun, never having known famine or plague, lived happily and peacefully in their thick-walled towns. All about them stretched away the desert. Far to the west was the great river that surged between mighty walls of rock bright with many colors. Somewhere beyond the river was a big water, but no one had ever travelled so far. To the north, at the distance of many days' walking, there were sky-piercing mountains whose summits glittered with snow that never melted. In the other directions, sun-cursed sands that shifted eternally among …

Variation In Human Capacities, Flaucy Ives

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Individuals of the same age vary widely in every trait that has been measured or estimated. They differ in height, weight, character, taste, intellect, strength or in other words, in all things

Every human being is endowed with the same reflexes, instincts and capacities, each individual has powers of perception, discrimination attentiveness, retentiveness, reasoning etc., and as a result each has the same general qualitative make-up.

But as was said above individuals vary in every trait, "these differences are quantitative rather than qualitative".
