Petrology And Structure Of Eastern Monte Largo Hills, New Mexico, Jan Ralph Huzarshi

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

In the Monte Largo Hills in the central part of north-central New Mexico, Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks, Paleozoic sediments, and Tertiary intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks occur. The metamorphics consist of a series of quartzo-feldspathic gneiss, mica schist, metaquartzite, and hornblende schists. These rocks were

derived from Precambrian sediments, mostly sandstones, arkoses and impure dolomites that were subjected to amphibolite facies synkinematic metamorphism. The Precambrian alkali granite appears to have been allochthonously emplaced with evidence near the contact of the quartzofeldspathic metamorphics for a parautochthonous formation. Quartz veins and pegmatite dikes of Precambrian age are also present. The sediments …

A Monte Carlo Evaluation Of A Nonparametric Technique For Estimating The Hazard Function, Sheng Jia Lin

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

This research is primarily concerned with the estimation of the Hazard functions, the Hazard function is the failure rate at time t, and is defined as -R '(t)/R(t), so it plays an important role in Reliability.

In order to compare and evaluate the estimation methods, it is convenient to select one distribution in this research. Since the Weibull distribution is a useful distribution in Reliability, the Weibull distribution is used in this paper.

Statistical Analysis For Tolerances Of Noxious Weed Seeds, Yadolah Dodge

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An analysis of the previous method for testing tolerances of noxious weed seeds was performed. Problems of the current techniques were discussed, and the solution to these problems was given.

A new technique of testing through the sequential test ratio was developed, and results examined.

The sequential test was found to be useful enough to include the use of it in determining tolerances for noxious weed seeds.

This study did show that the use of sequential tests does have excellent potential and flexibility as a statistical tool for the tolerances of noxious weed seeds.

A Comparative Study Of Boron Adsorption By A Calcareous And An Acid Soil, Namik M. Ali Rashid

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The adsorption of boron by Aiken clay loam and Vernal sandy loam was studied in the boron equilibrium concentration range of 0 to 40 ppm. Adsorption data were obtained at 11, 20 and 30°C. The data were analyzed by the application of the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. It was concluded that, in both soils, the adsorption of boron occurred on three distinct sites or regions.

The acid ferrigenous Aiken soil had a higher adsorption capacity for boron than the calcareous Vernal soil when compared on a unit mass basis. On the unit area basis, however, the Vernal soil adsorbed more boron …

Torus Knots, David S. Bradley

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

We have compiled here many interesting results concerning a particular collection of knots called torus knots. Torus knots are merely simple closed curves imbedded in an unknotted torus T² in E³. We show that the fundamental groups of T², π(T²), is the direct product of the additive group of integers with itself. The ordered pair (p, q) in Z x Z determines an equivalence class of loops on the torus, and we show in Section II that the class [(p, q)] contains a loop whose image is a simple closed curve if and …

Geology Of The Hogback Mountain Area, Northern Big Belt Mountains, Montana., William L. Shaffer

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Hogback Mountain area is located in the northern part of the Big Belt Mountains, twenty miles northeast of Helena, Montana.

Sedimentary rocks range in age from Precambrian to Recent, and have an aggregate thickness of about 16, 500 feet. The oldest stratified rocks are two conformable formations of the Precambrian Belt Series; the Newland Formation (oldest) and the Greyson Shale. These rocks have an aggregate thickness of about 10,700 feet.

Rocks of the Belt Series are unconformably overlain by about 1,200 feet of strata of Middle and Late Cambrian age separated into five conformable formation: the Flathead Sandstone (oldest), …

Fourier Transforms Of Unbounded Measures, Loren Argabright, Jesus De La Lamadrid

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Let G be a locally compact abelian group. For a (generally unbounded) measure μ on G we shall say that μ is transformable if there is a measure μˆ on the character group Γ of G such that, for every ƒЄK(G), the space of continuous functions with compact support on G,ƒЄL₂(μ) and (1) ∫_Gƒ^**ƒ(x) dμ(x) = ∫_r|∫(γ^-1)|²dμ(γ). The resulting "Fourier transformation” μ→μˆ contains the classical theory and leads to generalizations of a variety of classical results, including the Plancherel theorem and the Poisson summation …

Regressive And Transgressive Phenomena In The Gallup Sandstone In The Northwestern Part Of San Juan County, New Mexico., Francis Amrisar Kaharoeddin

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The sedimentary history of the Gallup Sandstone is studied through the field investigation and laboratory analysis of samples taken from four measured sections in the vicinity of the San Juan River and one section near the Red Rock Highway. In addition to field data, textural parameters and dolomite and glauconite content of sandstone samples are the basis for interpretations of the sedimentary history and environment of deposition of the Gallup Sandstone.

A plot of the mean grain-size and sorting along with stratigraphic sections reveals that most of the Gallup Sandstone was deposited in a regressive sea, and that the regression …

Eutrophication Of Small Lakes, Lynn T. Kenison

Theses and Dissertations

An estimate was made to determine the amount of nitrate and phosphate entering Utah Lake in 1968. To make this estimate, the flow data for 1968 and the nitrate and phosphate concentrations for 1970 were used. This was done because of the lack of information. The results show that the total nitrate added to Utah Lake in 1968 was 7,638,000 pounds. The total phosphate added was 1,740,200 pounds. Of this amount, 12,4 per cent of the nitrate and 18.0 per cent of the phosphate was released from the lake through the Jordan River. The rest remained in the lake to …

I. Studies Toward The Synthesis Of Echinodithianic Acid And Ii. The Temperature Dependent Nmr Spectrum Of Methyl N-Acetylsarcosinate, Alan Leroy Love

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Approaches to the preparation of echinodithianic acid (5) from 2,5-dicarbomethoxy-1,4-dithiane (1) were not successful, due to the inability to carboxylate or carboalkoxylate 1 at carbons 2 and 5. Studies toward the synthesis of 5 utilizing methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate (8) have been investigated. The electrophilic addition of sulfur dichloride to 8 yielded bis-(2-acetamido-2-carbo-methoxyvin-1-yl) sulfide, while the addition of thiocyanogen chloride to 8 produced methyl 2-acetamido-3-thiocyanato-acrylate.

As electrophilic additions of unsymmetrical dipolar reagents to methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate (8) are not reported in the literature, the addition of hydrogen bromide to 8 was studied to determine the orientation effect of the acetamido group.

Methyl 2-acetamido-2-bromopropionate …

The Effectiveness Of Categorical Variables In Discriminant Function Analysis, Preston Jay Waite

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A preliminary study of the feasibility of using categorical variables in discriminant function analysis was performed. Data including both continuous and categorical variables were used and predictive results examined.

The discriminant function techniques were found to be robust enough to include the use of categorical variables.

Some problems were encountered with using the trace criterion for selecting the most discriminating variables when these variables are categorical. No monotonic relationship was found to exist between the trace and the number of correct predictions.

This study did show that the use of categorical variables does have much potential as a statistical tool …

The Poincaré Conjecture, Joseph D. Peck

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The central theme for this paper is provided by the following three statements:

(1) Every compact connected 1-manifold is S1.

(2) Every compact connected simply connected 2-manifold is S2.

(3) Every compact connected simply connected 3-manifold is S3.

We provide proofs of statements (1) and (2). The veracity of the third statement, the Poincaré Conjecture, has not been determined. It is known that should a counter-example exist it can be found by removing from S3 a finite collect ion of solid tori and sewing them back differently. We show that it is not possible to find a counterexample by removing …

Fitting Some Families Of Contagious Distributions To Biological And Accident Data, Yung-Sung Lee

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Four families of contagious distributions--generalized Poisson distributions, generalized binomial distributions, generalized Pascal distributions, and generalized log-zero distributions--are investigated in this thesis.

The family of generalized Poisson distributions contains five distributions: the Neyman Type A, the "Short," the Poisson binomial, the Poisson Pascal, and the negative binomial. The family of generalized binomial distributions contains eight distributions: the binomial Poisson, the binomial binomial, the binomial Pascal, the binomial log-zero, the Poisson with zeros, the binomial with zeros, the Pascal with zeros, and the log-zero with zeros. The family of generalized Pascal distributions contains four distributions: the Pascal Poisson, the Pascal binomial, the …
