Hydro-Electric Treatment Of Joplin-Miami Zinc Concentrate, David Francis Walsh

Masters Theses

"The Electrolytic Process is a process capable of almost unlimited mechanicalization. For obvious reasons it is more economic to treat high grade concentrates; yet, the extremely high grade concentrates are not essential. The Electrolytic Process can treat economically concentrates as low as 30.% zinc under certain conditions. It is significant that as the grade of concentrates offered for treatment is lowered, the treatment cost per ton of concentrates decreases for the Electrolytic Process; whereas, it will increase, as previously stated, for the Retort Process. It is seen then that the position of the Electrolytic Process is strengthened where lower grade …

Lactose Fermenting Bacteria In The Water Supplies Of The Rolla Quadrangle, Joe Beaty Butler

Masters Theses

"I. Preliminary investigations. This includes the securing of 139 water samples from water sources in the Rolla Quadrangle, and inoculating 1cc samples from these into Dunham's Lactose tubes and thereby getting lactose gas production checks on the field samples. II. Confirmatory tests. This consisted in the isolation of lactose fermenters on Eosin-Methylene Blue Agar and checking of the cultures back through the lactose and then through dulcitel and saccharose so as to complete Jackson's Classification. 106 cultures were classified in this manner. III. Running through a complete set of tests of pure cultures, so as to completely (as possible) identify …

A Town Hall, Arthur Ernst Koelle

Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design Theses & Dissertations

The study of a Municipal Building has always appealed to me for many reasons. A building of this sort deals with problems of public planning, public circulation and what we might say municipal architecture as far as the exterior is concerned. Problems that deal with the pacing of public utilities in accessible and practical locations, demand the utmost study and thought and consequently more is learned from this type of study than from that of a private building. Then, too, in the study of the exterior of public buildings the designer is given a chance to build into the architecture …

On Plain Carbon Steel, Walter Edward Remmers

Masters Theses

"In 1921, an investigation was carried on by Messrs. Howe, Foley and Winlock, under the auspices of the National Research Council, the results of which were published under the title of - "Influence of Temperature, Time and Rate of Cooling on Physical Properties of Carbon Steel," by the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, February, 1923. These results showed that all physical properties of a 0.34 C. percent steel are improved by increasing the rate of cooling from temperatures above the critical range up to a certain rapidity beyond which, there is a gain in strength at the expense …

Accident Prevention In Cement Plants, Edward Rees Abbott

Bachelors Theses

"The cement industry as a whole took up accident prevention work along with the pioneers. With the organization of the Portland Cement Association, a Bureau of Accident Prevention was formed. This Accident Prevention Bureau, by sending out literature, holding competitions, collecting and tabulating results of accidents collected from every cement manufacturer and affiliating with National Safety Council as the Cement Section, has made rapid strides each year, until today it is doubtful if any other branch of manufacturers can show more improvement in accident records than the cement industry. In spite of their marked improvements each year, there were 47 …

The Analysis Of Stresses And Design Of Multiple-Arch Dam, Guy Robert Scott

Bachelors Theses

"The so-termed: "Multiple", or "Scallop-Arched" dam, as its name implies, is one composed of a series of arches, either semi-circular or segmental in plan. These arches were first vertical but were later inclined downstream, when the engineers recognized the value of the weight of water in increasing the resisting moment. The thrust of these arches, due to the water pressure and the weight of the arch itself, is transmitted directly to the buttresses. There are numerous advantages to this type of dam over that of the gravity type"--Introduction, page 1.

Transmission Of Electrical Energy At 220,000 Volts, Robert Wilhelm Ahlquist

Bachelors Theses

"A. E. Silver at the Annual Convention of the A.I.E.E. in 1919 gives some of the reasons why 220,000 Volt transmission is a logical and feasible commercial proposition. He also gives some of the main features of the undertaking...Owing to the great scope of this paper it has been thought necessary to generalize on the discussion of the first two topics and to treat the next two in more detail"--Statement of Scope of this Paper, pages 3-4.

Alternating-Current Resistance And Inductance Of Single Layer Coils, Clarence N. Hickman

Historical Dissertations & Theses

An integral equation method is used to develop formulas for the alternating-current resistance and inductance of a system of parallel "go and return" circuits. It is shown how these formulas may be applied to single-layer coils. The formulas are applied to several coils in which the "skin effect" is quite pronounced. These coils are measured at several frequencies and the results compared with the computed values. The methods of measurements are explained and a discussion is given pertaining to the distribution of the effective resistance in a coil. The eddy current losses due to dead ends are measured and discussed. …

Viability Of Bacillus Typhosus In Media Of Various Kinds In Relation To The Hydrogen Ion Concentration, Barrett Elmer

Biology

A careful study of the literature on the viability of the typhoid organism reveals a startling lack of agreement. Potter, in a series of experiments, comes to the conclusion that if a repressing effect occurs on B. typhosus because of the acidity of milk due to souring, it is so small as to be negligible and as a consequence such acidity cannot be depended upon to eliminate the organism. Baker, after experimenting on milk and butter, isolated the typhoid organism after 45 days from milk and after 151 days from butter. Frankel and Kister find the typhoid organism perishing in …

Silent Reading, Nano Armstrong

Bachelors’ Theses

There are two distinct types of reading, oral reading and silent reading, and each type calls for a different ability on the part of the child. Therefore, it is very important that we recognize at the outset these two different abilities. Both kinds of reading are now taught, but by far the greater part of our time and attention is devoted to oral reading. When we consider that after leaving school most of our reading, in fact practically all of it , is of the silent reading type, it is easy to understand that there is error in this arrangement.

A Study Of The Tissues Of Leaves Of Certain Angiosperms, Amybelle Halbert Brady

Bachelors’ Theses

The leaves used for the study of the tissues were those of the Oleander, Ficus, Ivy, Cyperus and the Aristolochia. Portions of the leaves used were cut into rectangular pieces, about one centimeter long and one half centimeter wide, each piece including a portion of a large vein and its subsidiary veinlets. The material was placed into chrome acetic acid solution. After twenty four hours it was a shed in running water for twelve hours and then dehydrated by means of alcohol, and was then imbedded in paraffin. The sections used for the study were cut from 12 to 15 …

The Theology Of Israel (From Abraham To Moses), Leroy C. Rincker

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We have thus endeavored to present Israel's early conception of God. The critical theories have been· tried and found wanting. They are weak and instead of. going to the core of the matter• they harp on external details. At times we were grieved by the blasphemous assertions of men, who refuse to bend their way to embrace plain facts; then again the :naive and arbitrary interpretations of Gunkel and Goldziher have interested and amused us.

The Movement Of Ground Water And Its Relation To The Drainage Of Irrigated Lands, Ernest O. Larson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

One needs but to review the history of the irrigated projects of the West to see clearly the importance of drainage. Since the passing of the Reclamation Act in 1902, the construction of drainage work by the United States Reclamation Service on seventeen projects located in thirteen western states represents about 12 percent of the expenditures from the Reclamation Fund. The portion for drainage has been spent during the last few years. This work has required an annual expenditure of about $1,000,000 or a total of $8,000,000 to July, 1922⁽¹⁾. The work completed is estimated to have reclaimed …

Essentials In Voice Training, Nancy E. Canan

Bachelors’ Theses

The Voice is the greatest instrument that there is in existence It has the power to make more tones varying in quality than any instrument made by man. It is the most beautiful of instruments, in that each voice has its own peculiar beauty. But botwithstanding [sic] all this, this beautiful instrument is treated with less care than those made ny man. How many people learn to take care of the voice just because it is a beautiful instrument? People buy musical instruments and treat them with great care when they know that they can replace them if necessary, but …

Effect Of Root-Rot Upon Sugar-Beet Seed Production, Louis F. Nuffer

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Due to considerable loss through root-rot of mother beets while in storage during the winter of 1918-1919 the Amalgamated Sugar Company asked advice in regard to planting beets which had decay lesions on them. Would the beets yield seed if planted? How much seed would these beets yield as compared with healthy beets? Would the seed produced be injured by having been grown on decayed beets? It was felt that an experiment carried out with the above questions in view would bring out many facts upon which to base conclusions in answering the questions of the Sugar Company.

Mendelian Inheritance In Wheat Hybrids, J. Leo Mortensen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Until the beginning of the present centry the general opinion was that Egypt and Mesopotamia were the earliest homes of cultivated plants. Recent translations of the old Chinese records, however, reveal the fact that many of our cultivated plants were grown by the ancient peoples of China prior to the time of the Egyptians.

Dettweiler (11) (1914) writes: "Today it is admitted--except by a few--that the original home of the primitive European population, the Indo-Germans, is not Asia but northern Europe, that they developed their culture there in the late stone age, and that they then dispersed in their wanderings …

Improvement Of Small Grains By Pure Line Selection, Dilworth Walker

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The present economic status of grain farming in the United States calls for adjustments in various ways. Legislation, such as price fixing, can do very little. Adjustment of acreage along with improved methods of marketing can do much. But improvement of the grains grown through breeding processes to increase the yields per acre and improve the milling quality, will render a service of permanent value, since all of the results appear in the profit column.
