Urban Geology—A Need And A Challenge, William J. Wayne Jan 1968

Urban Geology—A Need And A Challenge, William J. Wayne

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Urban land uses are rapidly converting open land into intensively used land. Generally, in planning those uses, a comprehensive study has included everything except an evaluation of the land in three dimensions. Geologists are eminently well equipped to supply the missing data, but they must also be aware of the needs of the urban community and the kinds of information needed by planners if they are to write reports usable by planners. Urban and environmental geology is a newly expanding field in the use of geologic data to help solve some urban problems in the planning stage. It is likely …

Hydraulic Characteristics Of A Modified Venturi Section, Muhammad Aslam Rasheed Jan 1968

Hydraulic Characteristics Of A Modified Venturi Section, Muhammad Aslam Rasheed

Reports

The measurement of water in open channels on extremely flat grades is difficult because of the head loss that is necessary. A modified venture section, the contraction of which is provided by a top cover section mounted in a rectangular flume, is proposed to meet the requirements of a suitable measuring device for use in canals of flat gradients. The method of finite differences has been used for the mathematical solution to the idealized inviscid flow problem. This was followed by a laboratory investigation to ascertain the hydraulic characteristics of the proposed design. The experiments were conducted in a 3 …

Linear Programming With Random Requirements, Nak Je Kim Jan 1968

Linear Programming With Random Requirements, Nak Je Kim

Reports

Linear programming was first developed by George B. Dantzig, Marshall Wood, and associates of the U.S. Air Force, in 1947. At that time, the Air Force organized a research group under the title of project SCOOP (Scientific Computation of Optimum Programs). This project contributed to the developing of a general interindustry model based on the Leontief input-output model, the Air Force programming and budgeting problem, and the problems which involved the relationship between two-person zero sum games and linear programming. The result was the formal development and application of the linear programming model. This project also developed the simplex computational …

Current Density-Anodic Potential Curves Of Single Crystal Gaas At Low Currents In Koh, Martin E. Straumanis, J. P. Krumme, William Joseph James

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Single p-type, GaAs crystals of high purity, Zn doped, were used to determine whether or not the inverse octahedral {111} faces show potential differences and various rates of anodic dissolution. The Ga{111}, As{111}, {110}, and {100} faces, were polished, etched, and etch-polished with concentrated H2SO4 + H2O2, and immersed in IN KOH. The Ga{111} faces were found to be the most noble with respect to rest and anodic dissolution potentials. The potential difference between the inverse {111} faces was as large as 0.14v for the rest and 0.123v for the dissolution potentials. The …


Feasibility Of Rating Current Meters In A Velocity Field, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, Lloyd H. Austin, Roland W. Jeppson, Chi-Yuan Wei Jan 1968

Feasibility Of Rating Current Meters In A Velocity Field, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, Lloyd H. Austin, Roland W. Jeppson, Chi-Yuan Wei

Reports

Preliminary studies employed an 8-inch (outlet diameter) contracting cone and an 8-inch converging nozzle. The design of the cone is based on an electromagnetic analogy reported by Smith and Wang, while the nozzle was designed assuming potential flow and using numerical methods to obtain the solution. Both designs yielded fairly uniform velocity fields, any deviations being primarily due to either construction or measurement techniques. The towing tank rating for a Pygmy current meter was compared with the submerged jet rating, the difference being 1 or 2 percent. A Prototype system was constructed using a 16-inch contracting cone (d). Two Type …

Atomic Absorption As An Index Of The Silver Concentration In Precipitation, Silver Iodide Plume Studies, Part 1, Joel E. Fletcher, H C. Millar Jan 1968

Atomic Absorption As An Index Of The Silver Concentration In Precipitation, Silver Iodide Plume Studies, Part 1, Joel E. Fletcher, H C. Millar

Reports

The Perkin Elmbver Model 303, equipped with the DCR-1, digital concentration readout, was evaluated as to its ability to provide an index of silver concentration in water solutions, without concentrating in any manner. The procedures, principal settings, and adjustments which must be observed are described.

This instrument can detect the difference between concentrations of 10-15 and 10-12 gm/ml. However, as the concentration of silver decreases the experimental error increases to a point at which the error becomes greater than the differences in readout due to differences in silver concentration.


Analysis Of A Focus Log Electrode In A Non Homogeneous Medium, John Julian Zenor Jan 1968

Analysis Of A Focus Log Electrode In A Non Homogeneous Medium, John Julian Zenor

Doctoral Dissertations

"The mathematical model presented for the focused logging system is applicable to any resistance logging tool of the electrode type. Horizontal or cylindrical resistance interfaces may be included in any combinations. The tool and its environment are compartmentalized, and the integral form of the condition for continuity of current is applied to each compartment. Acceleration methods are applied to the iterative solution of the resulting large-scale system of linear equations. Two specific models are presented, one for the study of the effects of invasion and the other for the study of the effects of bed thickness on the apparent resistivity …


Hrva - A Velocity Analysis Technique For Seismic Data, John Charles Robinson Jan 1968

Hrva - A Velocity Analysis Technique For Seismic Data, John Charles Robinson

Doctoral Dissertations

"A High-Resolution Velocity Analysis (HRVA) has been developed for the determination of the root-mean-square subsurface-velocity energy spectrum from gated seismic data which has been normal-moveout corrected. All calculations are performed in the frequency-space or frequency-wavenumber domain; seismic gates are transformed from the time-space domain via the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm. HRVA is not restricted to the investigation of apparent horizontal velocities which have associated stepout values that are integral multiples of the time sampling interval, as are the existing correlation techniques. The technique liberally exploits the inexistence of significant energy in the higher frequency harmonies of seismic data, resulting in …

Water Quality Study Of Lake Mead, Dale A. Hoffman, Paul R. Tramutt, Frank C. Heller, Bureau Of Reclamation

Publications (WR)

This report presents Lake Mead Water quality data obtained from 1964 to 1966. The effect of filling Lake Powell on the water quality of Lake Mead is evaluated. General limnological principles and the present limnology of Lake Mead are discussed. Lake Mead has a warm monomictic annual temperature cycle characterized by summer stratification, fall overturn leading into a continuous circulation throughout the winter; temperatures never fall below 39 deg F (4 deg C). During stratification, lower dissolved oxygen values were recorded in the thermocline than in the epilimnion and hypolimnion. Mineral content increases from the upper to the lower end …
