The Physiographic History Of Five River Valleys In Northern Ohio, Milton M. Champion

Honors Papers

The purpose of this paper is to explain as far as possible with the data at hand the origin of the five river systems of the area and the physiographic features of their valleys. First, each of the five river valleys will be taken up in a general way; then particular sections of the valleys will be described in detail after which some of the physiographic features not fully explained in the detailed descriptions of the river valleys will be discussed. Finally summary conclusions will be made.

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.

From Cape Town To Cairo, Leslie L. Jones

Honors Theses

Cecil Rhodes has been dead twenty-two years. The flesh of the man has long since become dust; his dreams are about to become realities... two slender streaks of shining steel form Cape Town to Cairo. For the red now cleaves the heart of Africa, north and south, from the Inner Sea to The Cape of Good Hope. A great splash of red up and down this vast continent where fifty years ago but little red was to be seen.

And this is the simple task I have set myself in the present paper: accounting for the red, this astonishing growth …

Indication Of The Attitude Of Virginia Colleges Toward The Institution Of Slavery, 1800-1860, Katherine Tyler

Honors Theses

It was natural that the Virginia college should concern themselves with the all-important subject of slavery in the sixty years' interval of the widespread discussion which cumulated in one of the most bitter and distressing struggles that the United States has ever experienced. For, had not Virginia always taken the foremost stand in any matter concerning the South's welfare, and was not her heartfelt anxiety representative of all her fellow states?

Cupola Practice In Modern Gray Iron Foundry, George E. Mellow

Professional Degree Theses

"Cupola practice, as described in this paper, will include only the practical operation of a cupola and the details of the work necessary in daily routine, and very little of the theory of combustion, or history of cupola development, is presented. A brief description of the cupola will give an idea of its construction, and the names of the parts may be found on the sketch herewith"--page 1.

Data On Edible Vegetable Oil Processes, John Charavelle Ingram

Professional Degree Theses

"The term American Edible Vegetable Oils includes only four distinct oils and under certain economic conditions perhaps a fifth. All these oils are to a certain extent interchangeable in their uses, their employment in specific commodities depending largely on their relative price. Listing them in the order of their economic importance, their principal usages are given in the following paragraphs"--Introduction, page 1.

Engineering Practice In The Tri-State District, Richard John Stroup

Professional Degree Theses

"Mining operations of the zinc and lead deposits of Southwest Missouri, Southeast Kansas and Northeast Oklahoma forming what is known as the Tri-State District are peculiar in many ways. The 'old country' with its shallow gougings and more or less crude methods has practically passed; methods have been improved with the increased size of operations, and the Engineering Department has grown into an indispensable link in the mining operations of practically all the operating companies. But traditions often die hard. Many phases of mining operations are peculiar to this District alone, and likewise engineering practice has its peculiarities"--page 1.

The Chloride Volatilization Of Silver And Lead From Zinc Concentrate, Edward Phillip Barrett

Professional Degree Theses

"The Yellow Pine mine at Goodsprings, in southwestern Nevada, yields an ore nearly free from gangue constituents. The ore as mined contains 8 to 12 per cent lead, 8 to 12 ounces silver, and 30 to 35 per cent zinc, and is milled in a gravity concentration plant where separation of the lead and zinc is made. The ore is nearly all carbonate, except a small amount of galena, and the lead concentrates contain considerable zinc; the zinc concentrates contain lead and silver in quantities ranging from 3 to 7 pr cent and 3 to 7 ounces, respectively, The lead …

An Investigation Of The Possibility Of A Missouri Furnace Obtaining An Iron Ore Supply From The State, Donald Foster Updike

Professional Degree Theses

"The material for this thesis and the observations and conclusions drawn are all the result of the writers connection with a group who were engaged by Brown Brothers to determine the possibility of supplying the St. Louis Coke and Chemical Company with iron ore from the state. The original idea was to try to obtain the Coke Companies complete requirement from the state. While the results are in a sense negative, the company appreciated the fact that, in a case of this kind, even negative results have a value"--Introduction, page 4.

The Outdoor Substation, Israel Herrick Lovett

Professional Degree Theses

"The Outdoor Substation, as an essential part of a high voltage distribution system, has been largely developed during the past 12 years. The New England Power Company was one of the pioneers in this development, their substation at Millbury, Massachusetts, being one of the first outdoor substations in the northern part of the country. During the five years' experience with this company, the writer of this thesis, in his position of Chief Electrical Designer, was partly responsible for the design of all substations constructed by the company during this period, from 1916 to 1921...This thesis is an account of the …

Economic Geology Of Northern Angola, Artileus Vosteen Eulich

Professional Degree Theses

"Most of the mineral deposits have been known to exist for over a generation but efforts to mine them usually met with failure. The most signal discovery, that of diamonds, was made only in recent years. They are the only substance coming under the category of mineral which are being exploited on a large scale. Energetic efforts are being made to find petroleum in commercial quantities. There are still vast areas practically unexplored which if thoroughly prospected might lead to more discoveries. It is difficulty, however, for one who has prospected for two years in Angola without any particular success …

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 …

The Growth Of Wheat Seedlings In Solutions Containing Monopotassium Phosphate, Calcium Nitrate, And Magnesium Sulphate, Singly And In Pairs., Joseph Carmin 1895-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Soon after the atomic theory was established, it was found that the plant uses as sources of food not only the air and water, but also different constituents of the soil, dissolved in the soil moisture—the mineral nutrients. Ashes of different burned plants were analyzed; they were found to vary with the soil in which the plants were grown as well as with the species of the plant and the special organ from which the ashes were obtained. A great number of minerals was found in the ashes. The question arose soon, which of these elements is essential to the …

The Effect Of Endocrines Upon Animal Behavior., J. Hubert Geyer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is not the primary purpose of this present work to treat the problem of the evolution of behavior, but rather to give an analysis of animal behavior as observed. These observations may appear as simple tests, but they make possible a new way to measure the capacity and determine the rate of learning by the animal mind. Progress in learning takes place through increased variety and precision of the movements brought about by stimulation and is very clearly observed in Amoeba, where we find the production of varied movements and the resolution of one physiological state into another. Thus …

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. …
