Geochemical Anomalies In The Igneous Wall Rock At Mayflower Mine, Park City District, Utah, Zuhair Al-Shaieb
Geochemical Anomalies In The Igneous Wall Rock At Mayflower Mine, Park City District, Utah, Zuhair Al-Shaieb
Doctoral Dissertations
"Approximately 500 samples were collected from the igneous wall rock of the Mayflower Mine, Park City District, Utah. The mine is the sixth largest gold producer in the United States. The samples were analyzed for copper lead, zinc silver, manganese, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Gold was determined by neutron activation analysis, silicon and sulfur by x-ray fluorescence spectrometery. The calculation of the mineral norm from the chemical analysis showed the wall rock to be of granodioritic composition. A study of selected vein samples indicates that the copper, silver and gold content in the veins …
Mathematical Modeling Of River Water Temperatures, Leland Lovell Long
Mathematical Modeling Of River Water Temperatures, Leland Lovell Long
Doctoral Dissertations
"The applicability of power spectral density techniques, Fourier series analysis, and linear regression to the mathematical modeling of river water temperature is demonstrated. Consideration is also given to the problem of estimating thermal inputs to rivers from man-made sources such as electrical power plants. First, power spectral density techniques are used in the time-series analysis of water temperature records which were taken from the Missouri River. Two spectral ranges are then studied from the standpoint of their applicability to (1) mathematical model building and (2) detection and identification of cyclic thermal inputs. Next, a Fourier regression fit to the time-series …
Structure Of Zero Divisors, And Other Algebraic Structures, In Higher Dimensional Real Cayley-Dickson Algebras, Harmon Caril Brown
Structure Of Zero Divisors, And Other Algebraic Structures, In Higher Dimensional Real Cayley-Dickson Algebras, Harmon Caril Brown
Doctoral Dissertations
"Real Cayley-Dickson algebras are a class of 2ⁿ-dimensional real algebras containing the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions, and the octonions (Cayley numbers) as special cases. Each real Cayley-Dickson algebra of dimension greater than eight (a higher dimensional real Cayley-Dickson algebra) is a real normed algebra containing a multiplicative identity and an inverse for each nonzero element. In addition, each element a in the algebra has defined for it a conjugate element ā analogous to the conjugate in the complex numbers. These algebras are not alternative, but are flexible and satisfy the noncommutative Jordan identity. Each element in these algebras can …
Condensation And Sublimation Of Carbon Dioxide And Water Molecules At Cryogenic Temperatures, Victor Cazcarra
Condensation And Sublimation Of Carbon Dioxide And Water Molecules At Cryogenic Temperatures, Victor Cazcarra
Doctoral Dissertations
"Measurements of the condensation coefficient of CO₂ and H₂O have been made using a molecular beam and quartz crystal microbalances. The dependence of the condensation coefficient on variables such as population density on the substrate, temperature of the substrate, molecular beam intensity and temperature of the molecular beam, was investigated. The results are explained using heterogeneous nucleation theory for low density population, and a new approach for high density population is presented. The rate of sublimation of these two gases was measured directly. The results are reported in terms of vapor pressure in the range 10⁻⁹ to 10⁻⁴ Torr. The …

Quasi-Pseudometrics Over Tikhonov Semifields And Fixed Point Theorems, Ronald Evans Satterwhite
Doctoral Dissertations
"It has been shown that topological spaces are characterized as quasi-pseudometric spaces over some Tikhonov semifield.
Sufficient conditions are given for a T1 space to be metrizable over some Tikhonov semifield.
Completely regular (uniform) spaces are characterized as pseudornetric spaces over some Tikhonov semifield.
Certain metric, pseudornetric, quasi-metric, quasipseudometric spaces over a Tikhonov semifield are shown to be respectively metric, pseudometric, quasi-metric, quasipseudometric spaces in the usual sense.
Several results from fixed point theory in the metric space setting are generalized to the setting of completely regular (uniform) Hausdorff spaces."--Abstract, page ii.
The Scattering Of Elastic Waves By Void Cavities, Jerry Lee Davis
The Scattering Of Elastic Waves By Void Cavities, Jerry Lee Davis
Doctoral Dissertations
"Elastodynamic multipole theory, the theory of least squares, and the theory of integral representation of solutions are employed in solving certain problems involving an elastic solid containing a source and a scatterer. Both the source and scatterer are of finite geometrical extent; they occupy non-intersecting regions. The source is separable, i.e., its mathematical specification consists of an arbitrary vector function of position multiplied by a time function, which is further assumed to be a sinusoid. The scatterer emphasized is a finite void cavity of arbitrary shape; however, scatterers composed of rigid material may also be treated. The calculation of a …

The Eikonal Distorted Wave Born Approximation For The Excitation Of Hydrogen By Impact With Hydrogen And Helium In The Intermediate Energy Range, Richard Homer Shields
Doctoral Dissertations
"An eikonal approximation is applied to atom-atom scattering in the intermediate energy range. The theory and the form of the eikonal approximation are reviewed. Also a brief survey of previous theoretical methods for all energy ranges is included.
In particular, the differential and total cross sections for the excitation of hydrogen to the 2s and 2p states by impact on hydrogen and helium atoms have been calculated using the eikonal distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) for the incident energy range of 2.25-100 keV. The eikonal DWBA differential cross sections are compared to the differential cross sections given by the first …
A Numerical, Time Domain Solution For The Response Of A Gimbal Supported Gyro, Floyd Stanley Hall
A Numerical, Time Domain Solution For The Response Of A Gimbal Supported Gyro, Floyd Stanley Hall
Doctoral Dissertations
"This paper develops an algorithm to generate a numerical solution for the response of a gimbal supported gyro to arbitrary forcing functions and base motion, and includes the normal parasitic effects of bearing friction, viscous pivot damping, and pivot spring constants. There are relatively few restrictions on gyro and gimbal structure geometry. Solution accuracy is limited only by the computing machine accuracy; the algorithm being an explicit function of the input data. The algorithm is fast and requires only a moderate amount of computer memory"--Abstract, page ii.

The Mio-Eugeosynclinal Thrust Interface And Related Petroleum Implications In The Sason-Baykan Area, Southeast Turkey, Ismail Özkaya
Doctoral Dissertations
"A detailed investigation of the stratigraphy, structure and petroleum geology of the Sason-Baykan region in 600 square km area of the thrust belt of southeast Turkey was completed at a scale 1: 25 000. Geosynclinal sediments within the area were redated.
Results of field study indicate a massive plate of metamorphic rocks and crystalline limestones was thrust southward over geosynclinals sediments. These in turn were thrust over the southern marginal basin deposits. A stratigraphic sequence of the allochthonous geosynclinals sediments was reconstructed and correlated with the autochthonous Tertiary section. Contrary to earlier views the allochthonous sediments and accompanying igneous rocks …

A Correction To Classical Homogeneous Nucleation Theory For Polar Molecules Exhibiting An Electric Double Layer At The Liquid Surface, Daniel R. White, James L. Kassner
A Correction To Classical Homogeneous Nucleation Theory For Polar Molecules Exhibiting An Electric Double Layer At The Liquid Surface, Daniel R. White, James L. Kassner
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
An oriented dipole surface layer is added to the classical liquid drop model of nucleation to account for the surface behavior of substances having polar nonsymmetrical molecules. The preliminary treatment of the change in free energy as given by Abraham is modified to include Fletcher's exponential decay of the degree of orientation. An additional correction for the excess binding energy due to the presence of a foreign molecule in the prenucleation cluster is included to account for the inflections observed in the experimental results of Allen and Kassner. The resulting free energy of formation is combined with the kinetic treatment …

Collisional Excitation Of N+ At 50 Kev, D. H. Crandall, G. York, V. Pol, John T. Park
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The excitation spectrum of N+ has been observed by examining the energy lost by a 50- keV N+ beam passing through a He target. The spectrum exhibits dramatic features with large cross sections. Determination of the approximate ratio of metastable to ground-state ions in the primary ion beam has permitted measurement of excitation cross sections from both ground-state and metastable N+ ions colliding with He target atoms. © 1972 The American Physical Society.
Statistical Studies Of Various Time-To-Fail Distributions, James Addison Eastman
Statistical Studies Of Various Time-To-Fail Distributions, James Addison Eastman
Doctoral Dissertations
"Three models are considered that have U-shaped hazard functions, and a fourth model is considered that has a linear hazard function. Several methods for estimating the parameters are given for each of these models. Also, various tests of hypotheses are considered in the case of the model with the linear hazard function. One of the models with a U-shaped hazard function has a location and a scale parameter, and it is proved in general that any other parameters in a distribution of this type are distributed independently of the location and scale parameters.
A new method used to estimate the …
Ionization Mechanisms In Cesium, Yu Bong Hahn
Ionization Mechanisms In Cesium, Yu Bong Hahn
Doctoral Dissertations
"Autoionizing states in Cs between 12 and 20 eV have been studied by electron impact. The retarding-potential-difference(RPD) method was used to obtain an electron beam with energy spread of about 0.1 eV. To determine the threshold energies, inelastically scattered electrons were analyzed by the trapped-electron method. We have been able to identify about 20 levels, and the agreement with spectroscopic data is excellent. A peak appearing at 12.80 eV is probably due to the quartet states observed by Feldman and Novick"--Abstract, page 2. "The structure in the electron impact ionization cross section in cesium can be partially accounted for by …

Nonrandom Characteristics Of Common Stock Prices, Donald Leroy Gaitros
Doctoral Dissertations
"This study presents an application of operations research techniques to the development of stock price generation and simulation models to aid in the understanding of price movement. Relationships between stock price and volume and stock price and market averages which follow descernible trends and patterns are discovered. Technical trading rules are developed based on these relationships which empirically have shed doubt on the random walk hypothesis of price movement. This in turn gives evidences that technical analysis can be an aid to price forecasting"--Abstract, page ii.

Gas-To-Particle Conversions Of So₂-No₂-H₂O-Air Gas Mixtures Under Specific Uv Irradiation, James Leonard Fowler
Masters Theses
"In these series of experiments, mixtures of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide were irradiated in an absorption cell with monochromatic radiation found in the tropospheric region of the atmosphere. The irradiated mixtures were then introduced into a Wilson type cloud chamber to investigate the effects of these specific wavelength induced gas to particle conversions on nucleation. Results showed that sulfur dioxide could not be the sole agent for the formation of condensation nuclei. A mixture of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide irradiated at 3660 angstroms produced copious droplet formation identifying nitrogen dioxide as an integral reactant in nuclei production"--Abstract, page …
Computerized Registration For High Schools, Kenneth Lee Fore
Computerized Registration For High Schools, Kenneth Lee Fore
Masters Theses
"The guidance personnel in a high school are often burdened with the duty of hand scheduling the student's courses. Using the computer as a sub-optimizing tool in the registration of students, however, can cut scheduling time dramatically and relieve the guidance department of an onerous chore. The technique described in this investigation uses a conflict matrix that schedules the student's request and keeps the class load level within the course sections. A search of the schedule array for each course request may uncover a conflict. If no conflict occurs the course is scheduled and the remaining courses for this student …

With 2-(N-morpholinylmethyl)-3-quinuclidinone (MQN), complexes having the general formula M(MQN)X₂ were prepared where the metal ion was Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II), Cu(II), and Mn(II). The ligands 2-(N-piperidinylmethyl)-3-quinuclidinone (PQN) and 2-(N-dimethylaminomethyl)-3-quinuclidinone (DQN) were prepared along with the analogous cobalt(II) chloride complexes. The series of complexes Co(MQN)X₂ where X = Cl, Br, or I were prepared, and magnetic susceptibilities and spectral data obtained. They have room temperature magnetic moments in the range …
Time Resolved Measurements Of Droplet Growth In A Wilson Cloud Chamber, Michael Anthony Vietti
Time Resolved Measurements Of Droplet Growth In A Wilson Cloud Chamber, Michael Anthony Vietti
Doctoral Dissertations
"The growth rates of water drops in a Wilson expansion cloud chamber are measured with air, argon and helium as the carrier gas, in the size range of .5 to 10 microns. The drops growing in the supersaturated chamber exhibit oscillations in the scattered intensity as predicted by Mie theory. Scattered intensity is measured at 30 degrees to the He-Ne laser beam. Supersaturation ratios during growth range from S =1.2 to S = 3.5 for all three gases. The initial temperature is measured and the pressure is monitored continuously so that droplet growth theory can be compared with experiment. Three …

Radiative And Predissociative Lifetimes Of The A²Σ⁺ State Of Oh, Robert Allen Sutherland
Radiative And Predissociative Lifetimes Of The A²Σ⁺ State Of Oh, Robert Allen Sutherland
Doctoral Dissertations
"Lifetime measurements have been made on the A²Σ⁺ state of OH by the delayed coincidence technique in conjunction with an interrupted rf discharge through water vapor. Lifetimes are reported for rotational states up to K = 29 and K = 20 in the v = 0 and v = 1 vibrational levels respectively and on the unresolved levels of v =2. A predissociation, previously predicted from relative intensity measurements, resulting from a curve crossing by the repulsive 4 Σˉ state, was observed for the rotational states above K = 23 of v = 0, for those above K = 14 …
Substituent Effects On The Magnetic Resonance Spectra Of 1, 4-Disubstituted Benzenes, Holger Er-Chah Chen
Substituent Effects On The Magnetic Resonance Spectra Of 1, 4-Disubstituted Benzenes, Holger Er-Chah Chen
Doctoral Dissertations
"The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectra of five complete series of para-substituted benzenes have been investigated: the benzoic acids, benzonitriles, benzoyl chlorides, methyl benzoates and nitrobenzenes. Precise values of aromatic proton chemical shifts and coupling constants were obtained from LAOCOON3 computer analyses of the spectra. Using the relative internal chemical shift technique of Beachell and Beistel, excellent linear correlations among all five series were found. All substituents gave proton shifts which lay on the least-squares line, so it is concluded that all substituents are well behaved. Using the correlation plots the chemical shifts of the aromatic ring protons can be predicted …

Adsorption Of Dichromate At The Air-Solution Interface, Josephine Juch Wang
Adsorption Of Dichromate At The Air-Solution Interface, Josephine Juch Wang
Masters Theses
"The adsorption of dichromate ion with the surfactants, tetradecylpyridinium bromide and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide at the air-solution interface was studied by surface tension and turbidity measurements in order to better understand the process of ion flotation. Surface tension measurements were used to study the effect of dichromate ion concentration on precipitation in dilute surfactant solutions. At higher concentration, near and above the cmc, light scattering was used to detect precipitation. The concentration of dichromate required to cause precipitation decreases with increasing surfactant concentration until the erne is approached, after which increasing concentrations of dichromate are required with increasing concentration of surfactant. …

Mössbauer-Effect Studies Of The Phase Transitions In Antiferroelectric Pbzro₃ And Ferroelectric Pbti₀.₀₂Zr₀.₈O₃, James P. Canner, C. M. Yagnik, Robert Gerson, William Joseph James
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The Mössbauer spectra were studied for the antiferroelectric compound PbZrO3 and for the closely related ferroelectric PbTi0.2Zr0.8O3. In both cases, a substitution of 5-mol% BiFeO3 was made to permit the Mössbauer measurements. Little difference was found in the isomer shift in these compounds, whether they were in the ferroelectric, antiferroelectric, or cubic state, indicating that the bonding character is not affected by the transitions among the states. There was a pronounced and approximately equivalent dip in the recoil-free fraction at the Curie points of both the antiferroelectric and ferroelectric materials, associated with …

A quick glance at the title of this presentation and the reader braces himself for another antipollution or “save-the-sod” type of discourse that has become so popular these days. I do not wish to detract from the importance or the need for such efforts but I would like to address myself to the the broader meaning of the term.
Ecology--the word comes from the Greek root “oikos” which means house or household. What I’d like to do is to tell you about this “house” I’ve been living in for the past 10 years.
