Graphics And Its Application To The Progress And Cost Analyses Of A House Building Construction Company, Frank Lewis Leonard Wilson

Masters Theses

"In the graphical analyses of Stresses in Framed Structures, we study, by means of diagrams, the stability or equilibrium of structures and the relation between the external forces and the stresses created in the members of the frame. The principle involved is that we may represent any force both as to direction and intensity by a straight line, by considering the direction of the line to be identical with that of the force and adjusting its length according to any arbitrary unit adopted for the forces under consideration. By this means we can solve the stresses in framed structures with …

The Roasting Of Zinc Ores In The Manufacture Of Sulphuric Acid By The Contact Process, Clarence Eugene Peterson

Professional Degree Theses

"The unprecedented demand for sulphuric acid of the higher strengths (98% and higher) in the manufacture of explosives, has stimulated the zinc smelters to increased efforts in the recovery of their Roaster gases in the form of Sulphuric Acid. The Lead-chamber process is unsuitable, however, in making "strong" acid and the smelters naturally turned to the contact mass or catalytic processes. In the roasting of zinc ores practically all of the sulphur is removed as sulphur dioxide, the disagreeable odor and unmistakable injury to surrounding localities, of which, first led to the adoption of sulphuric acid plants by most zinc …

On The Microscopic Determination Of Cadmium In Metallic Zinc, James Presley Gill

Professional Degree Theses

"A quick and accurate determination of Cadmium in Metallic Zinc by all ordinary chemical methods now in use, so far as the writer has been able to ascertain is at best only approximate. However, longer methods and very delicate ones for determining Cadmium are in use that are very accurate, but these methods are so long and so delicate that very few commercial laboratories care to use them. Now, it has been known for some time that Zinc and Cadmium do not form an alloy which when in the solid exist either as a solution or a compound. They do …

Determination Of Critical Point Of Concentrating Tables On Arizona Copper Ore, J. C. Finagin Jr., W. C. Hogoboom

Professional Degree Theses

"In the concentration of an ore by means of concentrating tables, there is a critical point in sizing beyond which the valuable minerals can not be recovered. Theoretically, the lighter gangue is washed over the side of' the table and the heavier mineral, regardless of size, is recoverable at the end, these concentrates being graded from coarse to fine sizes up the slope of the table. In practice, however, the finer sizes of concentrates are found mixed with the middlings and tailings, as indicated by the arrows on the diagram of the concentrating table shown below. The problem is to …

The Sources Of Buddhism, T. Newton Hill

Graduate Thesis Collection

At first sight the problem of the sources of Buddhism seems to require merely a study of the life and teachings of Gotama. or Sakyamuni, the "Buddha" or "enlightsned one."

Many scholars question his importance in the development of Buddhism, and even in the field of his life and career there is a great variety in the theories which have been seriously held by western scholars. It is the purpose of this thesis to study these problems and to arrive at the true solution of the sources of Buddhism.
