Trace Metal Analysis Of Barren River And Nolin River Reservoirs By Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Mary Jo Kennedy
Trace Metal Analysis Of Barren River And Nolin River Reservoirs By Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Mary Jo Kennedy
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This research was part of a project underway at Barren River and Nolin River Reservoirs in south-central Kentucky. The research was partially supported by a grant through the Sport Fishing Institute, Washington, D.C.
The study reported herein was concerned with the analysis of trace metal concentrations in the two reservoirs. It is believed that the fish population may in part depend upon the trace metals present in the water. It is anticipated that the data presented in this paper will eventually be correlated with the biology studies of the reservoirs being carried out by the Department of Biology of Western …

A Nonsecond Time-Of-Flight Spectometer, David Moorman
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The purpose of this thesis was to construct a time-of-flight spectrometer using plastic scintillators coupled to photomultiplier tubes as the primary detectors. A time-of-flight spectrometer with at least 2.0 nanoseconds of time resolution was desired.
Electrical Conductivity & Seebeck Effect In Activated Molybdenum Oxide Hydrogen Detectors, John Hooker
Electrical Conductivity & Seebeck Effect In Activated Molybdenum Oxide Hydrogen Detectors, John Hooker
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This thesis describes the results and analysis of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity measurements on "activated", molybdenum-oxide, thin film hydrogensensing elements. The work was undertaken in an effort to produce data that would be useful in obtaining an understanding of the electronic processes which cause large electrical conductivity changes in molybdenum-oxide upon exposure to small concentrations of hydrogen in air. The results are analyzed using a simple band model of a semiconductor. This model is shown to give reasonable results at high temperatures; however, a departure from the usual .! model is required in order to explain the results at …

Crossed Field Trochoidal Trajectory Devices For Investigating The Reflection Of Slow Electrons From Metallic Surfaces, Stan Lemaster
Crossed Field Trochoidal Trajectory Devices For Investigating The Reflection Of Slow Electrons From Metallic Surfaces, Stan Lemaster
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The objective of this study was to build preliminary devices . which could be used to measure electron reflection coefficient values using crossed electric and magnetic fields. The technique for using crossed fields to measure reflection coefficients was developed at Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. The reflection coefficient is the ratio of the number of electrons in a reflected beam to the number of electrons in an incident beam striking a surface.
The work described herein was a part of a project authored by AFCRL under contract AF19 (628)-5940; Project 8605 (with Western Kentucky University being the contractor) which was …
Solid State Electrolysis Of Yttria Stablized Zirconia, John Newman
Solid State Electrolysis Of Yttria Stablized Zirconia, John Newman
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Zirconium dioxide, or zirconia, is seemingly an ideal refractory oxide, having a high melting point (2680°C), low thermal expansion and also a considerable resistance to most forms of chemical attack. Early researchers soon found that zirconia, in the pure form, was actually of very limited use as a refractory because of sudden and disruptive volume changes accompanying a change in crystal structure which occurs at a temperature of about 1100 o C. It was discovered that this crystal structure change could be suppressed by the addition of one of a number of alkaline earth or rare earth oxides. These additive …

Noise In Cadmium Sulfide & Cadmium Selenide Photoconductive Cells, Edward Foster
Noise In Cadmium Sulfide & Cadmium Selenide Photoconductive Cells, Edward Foster
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The primary object of this investigation is to design a system, including equipment and procedures, that can be used to evaluate the noise characteristics of photoconductive cells. The data once collected must be in a comprehensive and useful form. The secondary object is to use this system to evaluate a large number of cells of various types and to compare their noise profiles in a manner such that definite conclusions can be drawn concerning the absolute noise levels and profiles generated by the various cell types and the relations that may exist between the cells' noise output and the way …
Environmental Effects On The Resistivity Of Palladium-Silver Alloy Films In High Vacuum, Frank Snyder
Environmental Effects On The Resistivity Of Palladium-Silver Alloy Films In High Vacuum, Frank Snyder
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The reported usage of the palladium-silver alloy films as resistors in the electronics industry has been in encapsulated form. By mounting the resistor inside vacuum electron devices, there is the possibility of eliminating the encapsulation. A literature search has revealed no reported efforts of experiments with unencapsulated resistors and certainly no reports of the palladium-silver alloy resistor in vacuum tubes or other high vacuum environments. Therefore, the research reported in this thesis will concentrate on the environmental effects on resistivity of palladium-silver alloy films in high vacuum.

The Value Of High School Physics To The College Student, Emery White
The Value Of High School Physics To The College Student, Emery White
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Secondary school science consists of biology, chemistry, physics, or a combination course known as general science. General science deals only with the practical side of the laws of physics. It fails to go into detail and very often omits the law entirely. Physics in high school requires a special room in the building which is not easily adapted to other use. A large amount of expensive equipment is need to teach it efficiently. Can all of this expense be justified? Is the student who ends his school career with high school graduation sent out into life with a large amount …

A Comparative Pollution Study Of The Domestic Water Supply Of Warren County, Kentucky, Glenn Scott
A Comparative Pollution Study Of The Domestic Water Supply Of Warren County, Kentucky, Glenn Scott
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The domestic water supply of Warren County, outside of the city of Bowling Green, is obtained from deep wells and springs. The county is about evenly divided into a southern section of cavernous limestone and a northern section of mixed sandstone and limestone formations.
The wells of the southern cavernous limestone region receive water from unfiltered underground streams and lakes. Most of the wells of the northern region are drilled in sandstone and the water, in a majority of cases, is filtered through porous sandstone and shale.
The purpose of this study was to make a comparative pollution study of …
Analysis Of Errors Made By 717 Collge Students In Arithmetic, O.D. Barnes
Analysis Of Errors Made By 717 Collge Students In Arithmetic, O.D. Barnes
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
During the greater part of the elementary-school training of the average American child he receives a large amount of instruction and drill in arithmetic. In the high school he suddenly drops arithmetic except as he maintains practices in courses of science or high school mathematics and except as the transactions of every day life involve arithmetic. In college the individual may suddenly find that the amount of arithmetical knowledge required is not small as in physics, chemistry or certain commercial courses. Evidence exists to indicate that students doing poor work in these courses are often found deficient in arithmetic.

The Relation Of The Native Forest Cover To The Physical And Chemical Nature Of The Soils Of The Mammoth Cave National Park Area, Sheppard Walker
The Relation Of The Native Forest Cover To The Physical And Chemical Nature Of The Soils Of The Mammoth Cave National Park Area, Sheppard Walker
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study was undertaken for the purpose of determining the relation existing between the native forest cover and the chemical and physical properties of the soils of the Mammoth Cave National Park area. The study was suggested by certain references in the literature to a correlation existing between forest cover and the geological, chemical and physical nature of soils of this area. The recent attempt at reforestation in the Mammoth Cave National Park area renders such a study timely, and it is believed that the results reported in this paper will materially aid the Mammoth Cave National Park Commission and …
