The Freezing Point Of Water In Puddled And Unpuddled Soils At Different Soil Moisture Tension Values, Robert B. Campbell
The Freezing Point Of Water In Puddled And Unpuddled Soils At Different Soil Moisture Tension Values, Robert B. Campbell
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A technique that will adequately describe the physical condition of water in the soil has long been desired by scientists. The method should include the effect of soluble materials on the osmotic pressure of the soil solution, and also the effect of surface force action between the soil and soil water.
Parker (8) demonstrated that the freezing point was reduced in the presence of finely divided material. This suggested the possibility of using the cryoscopic procedure to measure the physical condition of water soil. More recently, the introduction of Thermistors for accurate temperature measurement have made it desirable to investigate …

Oxidation Of Silver As A Method Of Measuring Ozone Concentration, Lorne Maxwell Chanin
Oxidation Of Silver As A Method Of Measuring Ozone Concentration, Lorne Maxwell Chanin
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
It has been found that, under certain conditions, a chemical reaction occurs between silver and ozone. The products of this reaction are silver oxides and oxygen. When heated to a certain temperature, the silver oxides are decomposed into silver and oxygen. If this reaction were produced, then the amount of oxygen resulting from the decomposition would be a measure of the amount of ozone originally present.

A Lead Sulfide Near Infrared Detection System, William V. Cummings Jr.
A Lead Sulfide Near Infrared Detection System, William V. Cummings Jr.
Masters Theses
"The infrared region of the spectrum is conveniently divided into the near infrared, which extends from the red end of the visible to about 25 microns, and the far infrared, which continues to an ill-defined division point of approximately 1,000 microns. The near infrared region has been further subdivided on the basis of instrumental techniques so that the particular portion of the spectrum consisting of radiations of wave length up to 3 microns has become known as the photoelectric infrared.
Several types of detection instruments have been designed and perfected for work in the photoelectric region, but new methods and …
A Correlation Function For Liquid Argon, Walter Graham
A Correlation Function For Liquid Argon, Walter Graham
Masters Theses
"X-ray scattering patterns have given considerable information concerning atomic distributions in matter, both crystalline and amorphous. Work on the diffraction of x-rays by crystals was begun in 1912 by Friedrich, Knipping, and Laue, and much valuable information concerning the arrangement of atoms in crystals has been supplied by this method. Diffraction of x-rays by gases was studied as early as 1911, and work in this field has given information concerning the arrangement of atoms in molecules and electron distribution in atoms. Work on the diffraction of x-rays by liquids was begun by Friedrich who obtained diffraction patterns of Canada Balsam, …
Square Wave Modulation, Richard Henry Duncan
Square Wave Modulation, Richard Henry Duncan
Masters Theses
"Modulation of a radio frequency carrier can be defined as the variation of some wave parameter such as amplitude, frequency, or phase, in accordance with intelligence to be transmitted. An unmodulated carrier is simply a continuous sine wave and contains no information other than the fact that the transmitter has been turned on. The spectrum of an unmodulated signal consists of a single frequency. Any type of modulation is characterized by the appearance of additional frequencies, known as sidebands. One of the fundamental problems in radio engineering is to reduce the number of sidebands to a minimum and still adequately …
The Completion, Adjustment, And Operation Of A Grazing Incidence Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectrograph, William Clinton Johnson-Chamberlain
The Completion, Adjustment, And Operation Of A Grazing Incidence Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectrograph, William Clinton Johnson-Chamberlain
Masters Theses
"Most gases, and particularly oxygen and nitrogen, are nearly opaque to radiation in the region from about 1800 Å downward to about 2 Å and hence, for spectroscopic work in this region, the removal of these gases is mandatory. Popular usage generally refers to the range mentioned above as the vacuum ultraviolet. That there remains much experimental work to be done in the vacuum ultraviolet has been pointed out by Boyce in his exhaustive survey of vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy. In order to fill in some of these gaps, Mr. L. H. Chapin, in the, spring of 1950, undertook the construction …

Torsional Modulus Of Rupture Of Thick-Walled Magnesium Alloy Fs-1 Tubing, Delbert R. Cox
Torsional Modulus Of Rupture Of Thick-Walled Magnesium Alloy Fs-1 Tubing, Delbert R. Cox
Masters Theses
"Magnesium is taking a more prominent position in the structure of aircraft, and because of this, it is important that the mechanical properties of the material be understood more fully. In the high speeds of today, the tendency is toward the use of thick-walled tubing instead of the thin-walled tubing with stiffening structures. For this reason, it is of interest to note the characteristics of thick-walled tubing when subjected to torsion.
This thesis was first suggested by a circular letter on proposed thesis titles from the Commanding General, Air Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. When interest was …
An Application Of The Atomic Distribution Function Of Liquid Mercury, Robert Lee Choate
An Application Of The Atomic Distribution Function Of Liquid Mercury, Robert Lee Choate
Masters Theses
"The study of liquids and the knowledge of an adequate description of liquid structure have not advanced as rapidly as it has in the case of solids and gases. In a perfect crystal, the atoms or molecules are held in equilibrium positions by strong intermolecular forces. There are vibrations about these positions, but the translational energy is negligible. The molecules of an ideal gas move independently of each other and the intermolecular potential energy may be neglected. For each of these cases it is possible to derive a partition function from which the properties of the state can be readily …
Integrated Scattering Of Microwaves By Small Metal Spheres, A. L. Merts
Integrated Scattering Of Microwaves By Small Metal Spheres, A. L. Merts
Masters Theses
"When electromagnetic radiation falls upon a material body of any kind, the associated electric field induces periodic oscillations of the electrons of the material synchronous with the incident radiation. The material serves as a secondary source and emits energy in the form of scattered radiation with a frequency equal to that of the incident electromagnetic wave. The polarization and intensity of the scattered radiation are determined by the size, shape, electric constants, and interactions among the scattering elements.
The scattering of electromagnetic waves is an old problem in physics. Such names as Rayleigh, Debye, and Mie have become associated with …

United States Patent: Antenna Guy Fitting, Robert Katz
United States Patent: Antenna Guy Fitting, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
The invention to be hereinafter described relates to coupling devices for the attaching of fixed wire antenna to aircraft.
Heretofore, it has been the general practice to make connections between the fixed wire antenna and aircraft by wrapping the antenna wire about a thimble or like device, as in making a splice.
This practice resulted in a number of sharp points and rough surfaces whose susceptibility to corona discharge is well known. This corona discharge resulted in bad weather extremely difficult or dangerous due to interruption of radio navigation and communication services.
The present invention is designed to overcome the …
Application Of X-Ray Technique To The Detection Of Internal Insect Infestation Of Grain, Max Milner, Milford R. Lee, Robert Katz
Application Of X-Ray Technique To The Detection Of Internal Insect Infestation Of Grain, Max Milner, Milford R. Lee, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
During the course of a comprehensive investigation of methods for the determination of internal insect infestation in commercial wheat, radiographic techniques have been developed at this station which provide satisfactory delineation of internal infestation. We have applied these techniques to the observation of the growth of such insects as granary weevil, Sitophilus granaries L., and rice weevil, Sitophilus oryza L., from the hatching of the egg within the kernel through larval and pupal growth to emergence as a mature insect. Although considerable detail is always lost in the reproduction of radiographs during engraving and printing, the accompanying figures (1, …

The ring stands are set side-by-side with the sheet of aluminum on one and the sheet of asbestos on the other. Two matches are placed on each sheet; one in the middle directly above the bunsen burner and one on the edge, two or three inches away. In what order will the matches catch fire after the burners are …
A Study Of An Inverse Feed-Back, Low Frequency, Low-Pass Filter, Ralph A. Nobles
A Study Of An Inverse Feed-Back, Low Frequency, Low-Pass Filter, Ralph A. Nobles
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
In connection with other research work in the physics department at the University of New Mexico it became of interest to make a detailed study of a resistance-capacitance couples low-pass filter which incorporate inverse feed-back. In order to determine the effect of the inverse feed-back on the filters, calculations are made on circuits with and without feed-back. Response curves are calculated for step-wave inputs and for sine-wave inputs, and these calculated curves then compared with experimental response curves.
A New Method Of Detecting Low Intensity Nuclear Radiation, Emerson Jones
A New Method Of Detecting Low Intensity Nuclear Radiation, Emerson Jones
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
In general there exist in the energy level scheme of many of the elements, transitions which give rise to the liberation of energy in the visible or near visible spectra. This situation gave rise to the hope that a gaseous element could be selected such that upon being excited or ionized by charged particle radiation, the predominant transitions to lower energy levels could be detected by photographic means. If a means of detecting these transitions could be made sufficiently sensitive, one could then hope to detect very low radiation intensities of charged particles. The problem consisted of evacuating a chamber, …

The present work is an attempt to set up an energy-level diagram for potassium chloride"--Introduction, page 1.
The Theory Of The Specific Heat Of A Face-Centered Cubic Lattice, Charles Robert Bonnell
The Theory Of The Specific Heat Of A Face-Centered Cubic Lattice, Charles Robert Bonnell
Masters Theses
"It is generally accepted that a normal crystalline solid can be pictured at absolute zero as an assembly of atoms at rest arranged at periodic lattice points. Since at higher temperatures each molecule becomes a harmonic oscillator about its lattice point, it is necessary to know the distribution of normal modes of vibration in order to calculate the thermodynamic properties of the lattice...Many approaches have been made to get a simple solution of the problem, but either accuracy is sacrificed for simplicity, or the solutions demand a very considerable amount of labor. The classical theories failed to explain the change …
Intermolecular Potential Functions For Liquid Argon And Liquid Mercury, Richard H. Kerr
Intermolecular Potential Functions For Liquid Argon And Liquid Mercury, Richard H. Kerr
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this research is to obtain such intermolecular potential functions for liquid argon and liquid mercury by use of the experimental radial density functions available for these two liquids over a wide range of temperatures. We shall introduce the notion of a correlation between the motions of atoms in neighboring cells in a cell theory of liquid structure, and derive a theoretical radial density function involving the intermolecular potential function for a pair of atoms in the liquid. This radial density function, or as it is frequently termed, the atomic distribution function, applied to the experimental data should …
The Theory Of The Specific Heat Of A Body Centered Cubic Lattice, Curtis Cleveland Webster
The Theory Of The Specific Heat Of A Body Centered Cubic Lattice, Curtis Cleveland Webster
Masters Theses
"In normal crystalline solids the atoms are at rest in their lattice points at absolute zero of temperature. Increasing the temperature of the crystal increases the motion of the atoms about their lattice points. Approximately, each atom or ion may be treated as a harmonic oscillator. then from the equations of motion of the atoms, by the Born-von Karman theory of specific heats, the normal modes of vibration of the lattice can be expressed as the roots of a secular determinant. Application of this theory to determine the thermodynamic properties of crystals has resulted either in solutions that are inaccurate …
A Determination Of The Surface Tension Of Bismuth, Cadmium, Tin, And Lead, Edward Mckee Chandler
A Determination Of The Surface Tension Of Bismuth, Cadmium, Tin, And Lead, Edward Mckee Chandler
Masters Theses
"Various methods have been employed for the determination of surface tension including capillary rise, drop weight, maximum bubble pressure, sessile drops on flat surfaces, sessile bubbles formed underneath flat surfaces, and the shape of pendent drops. Each method is subject to characteristic advantages and disadvantages. Only two of these will be discussed. The method of maximum bubble pressure allows the formation of a fresh surface for every bubble but does not permit the study of a given sample over a period of time. The sessile drop in direct contrast, allows the observation of the same sample over any period of …
A Grazing Incidence Vacuum Grating Spectrograph For Far Ultra Violet Spectroscopy, Lawrey Huber Chapin
A Grazing Incidence Vacuum Grating Spectrograph For Far Ultra Violet Spectroscopy, Lawrey Huber Chapin
Masters Theses
"Spectroscopy, in the region of the far ultraviolet from 100 Angstroms to 1000 Angstroms, requires special equipment and techniques, inasmuch as these wavelengths are highly absorbed by air. Many gases have resonant frequencies corresponding to the wavelengths mentioned and hence absorption bands appear in the spectrograms obtained by using spectrographs for the visible region. One solution of the problem of obtaining data in this region is to construct a spectrograph from which all intervening gas molecules have been removed, thus eliminating the absorbing material. A vacuum of 10⁻⁴ mm. of mercury is necessary to reduce the absorption to a value …
