Modern Phases Of The Rule Against Perpetuities And Restraints Upon Alienation Applied To Entrusted Properties In The State Of California, Adolph Canelo

Student Theses

There is perhaps no legal subject more interesting nor important in the sphere of trust activity than the so-called "Rule against Perpetuities". This rule is colorful in its historical antecedents, and in its present form, as part and parcel of the common law, is the creature of necessity evolved to prevent property owners from placing their property perpetually beyond the reach of their descendants, or other beneficiaries. The doctrine compromises the conflict between those on the one hand who have amassed property, and who ftesire that the succeeding generations might enjoy the use and benefit thereof without possibility of the …

Some Chemical Problems In Geology, Reginald Scott Dean

Masters Theses

"This thesis is in the main a compilation of the views held at this institution in regard to the problems discussed as interpreted by the author. No claims for originality are made except in the manner of presentation as the material used has been obtained by conference and class room work with Professor V. H. Gottschalk and Professor G. H. Cox and also to some extent with H. A. Buehler, State Geologist. On the other hand the material is an expression of these ideas as assimilated by the author and hence may in certain cases differ radically from the views …

The Diplomatic Relations Between China And Japan Since Russo-Japanese War, Yu M. Chen

Graduate Thesis Collection

The relations between China and Japan in a political or diplomatic sense are only of modern origin. During long centuries the dealings between these two countries were very unimportant, if not non-existent. Nippon, in the first instance, had borrowed from the Middle Kingdom of her literature, her arts, her fashions and her philosophies.

A Study Of The Vital Statistics Of Oxford, Massachusetts, Carl Milton White

Historical Dissertations & Theses

Directly following the Civil War occurred a period of low vitality in the town of Oxford which lasted approximately thirty years, and it is chiefly concerning this period I have made my study. For the figures regarding population for the first eighty-five years I referred to a volume of vital statistics published by the state, and for those since 1850 I used the censuses of the United States and of Massachusetts. From a treatise on tuberculosis written by Dr. Elliot P. Joslin I gained by facts upon this subject. The vital statistics of the town were opened to me thru …

Commutation, John Th. Mueller, Edward J. Blackwell

Bachelors’ Theses

The E.M.F. induced in the armature conductors of practically all direct current generators is alternating, and in order to obtain a unidirectional E.M.F. at the terminals of the the machine, it is necessary to reverse the connection at the moment the induced E.M.F. changes its direction.

Test Of A 400 Pound Refrigerating Plant, Louis C. Fenelon, George C. Hoffman, Thomas H. Noon, John T. Watry

Bachelors’ Theses

The primary object of these tests was to obtain the capacity of the refrigerating plant under various conditions of suction and condenser pressure.

The secondary object was to obtain the cost of electric current and water per ton of ice melting capacity.

Incidental objects pertained to heat transmission per sq. ft. of surface through the cooling coil.

The Design And Construction Of A Current Transformer, Henry A. Schmitz Jr., Jas. W. Murphy

Bachelors’ Theses

The transformer is a piece of apparatus used to transform alternating current power, from high voltage and low current to low voltage and high current or vice versa. It consists of a magnetic circuit of laminated iron linking two separate and distinct coils of wire. Alternating current is supplied to one of these coils, called the primary, and this alternating current causes rapid reversals of magnetic flux through the magnetic circuit, these reversals of flux induce an alternating electromotive force in the other coil, called the secondary, which delivers alternating current to a receiving circuit. The laminated iron which forms …

A Study Of Senescence, William T. Sanger

Historical Dissertations & Theses

A complete study of senescence would involve, not only a consideration of man, but of lower organisms, animal and plant, as well as institutions, races, nations, even the cosmos itself; for assuredly the phenomena of decay are as universal and intricate as those of genesis. In the present study, however, it will be attempted merely to indicate, first, the best that has already been done upon human senescence; second, to add further findings; and third, to set more definitely a number of new problems for future investigation.

Some Phases Of The Rural Sociological Situation., Jonas William Boyer 1890-1947

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This treatise is not intended to cover the whole field of Rural Sociology. It deals briefly with the more important phases of the subject. Perchance many important problems have been omitted which the reader will call to mind. This will go to show that the reader is thinking about the subject, and will be led to consider further the welfare of the rural population. The Science of Rural Sociology is rather new in consideration, but the oldest of all sciences in practice. The original inhabitants of this world were ruralists, and necessarily social conditions sprang up with them which needed …

The Thermal Conductivity Of Refractories, Boyd Dudley Jr.

Professional Degree Theses

"The usefulness of correct data in regard to the thermal conductivity of refractories and other materials used in the construction of metallurgical and industrial furnaces is quite generally recognized. Numerous investigations of this property of refractories have been conducted, and in many cases the published data of different investigators are somewhat conflicting. This is particularly true of figures pertaining to materials intended for use at high temperatures, and it is with such materials that the metallurgist is mot interested. The difficulties in the way of precise determinations of thermal conductivities at elevated temperatures are numerous, and it is not particularly …

The Seneca-Superior Mine And Mill, Maurice Merton Albertson

Professional Degree Theses

"The Seneca Superior Mine lies under Cart Lake which is located about a mile south of the city of Cobalt. It was discovered by crosscutting during the year 1912 and although it is one of the smaller properties of the Cobalt district it has been, and continues to be, a large producer"--Description of the Seneca Superior Mine, page 1.

An Investigation In Treating A Gold Ore From Custer, South Dakota, Theodore Saunders Dunn

Professional Degree Theses

"The following investigation was undertaken to determine the adaptibility [sic] to amalgamation and cyanidation of a certain ore from the property of Mr. Charles Bush near Custer, South Dakota. A preliminary sample of the ore was obtained and laboratory tests made upon it. A ton lot of the ore was then put through the ore dressing laboratory at the South Dakota School of Mines. Upon examination the large sample was found to differ in value and to some extent in character from the preliminary sample, but the scheme of treatment worked out for the first sample was found to work …

The Design Of A Reinforced Concrete Arch Highway Bridge, Clinton Dewitt Smith

Bachelors Theses

"The Subject of this theses is the Design of a Reinforced Concrete Arch Highway Bridge. In making the Design the crossing of South River Street, Austin Minn., was taken as the hypothetical location of the bridge and the design made with reference to the requirements of this location. These requirements are no more than those for an ordinary rural highway bridge. While in the city of Austin it is not in the route of travel to and from the depots and is hence not subjected to the loads due to heavy freighting. There is however a heavy rural traffic, this …

My work took me to all the mines, and in this way I was able to accurately observe the sampling, system of mining, geology, etc. of this famous and important camp"--page 1.
