Design And Testing Of A Downhole Continuous Wave Generator, Cole L. Smith
Design And Testing Of A Downhole Continuous Wave Generator, Cole L. Smith
Masters Theses
"The continuous shear wave generator was designed to be the first instrument capable of producing a continuous high frequency signal below the weathered layer of the earth. This is to be accomplished by placing the instrument in a bore hole and lowering it below the weathered layer where the higher frequencies are severely attenuated. The generator produced a measurable signal output with the output force being approximately 11 pounds force. Testing of the generator showed the necessity of using a spring system with a low natural frequency. The testing also indicated several improvements which should be made in the generator …

Sulfide Mineralogy And Fabrics Of The Iron Ores At Benson Mines, New York, Pedro Hugo TumialáN De La Cruz
Masters Theses
"The occurrence of sulfide minerals and their textural relationships to the silicate and oxide minerals in the Benson Mines, New York, iron deposit were investigated by ore microscopic and petrographic means. The Benson deposit is one in which the dominant iron oxides, magnetite and hematite, occur in a quartz-feldspar gneiss which was subjected to hornblende granulite subfacies metamorphism. Two hundred ore and country rock specimens were systematically collected from all parts of the open pit mine. Polished sections and thin sections were prepared from nearly all of the collected specimens. The oxide ore exhibits a granular texture in which isolated …
Magnetic After-Effects In Dilute Transition Metal Alloys, Robert Henry Graham
Magnetic After-Effects In Dilute Transition Metal Alloys, Robert Henry Graham
Masters Theses
"Temperature dependent after-effects of the initial permeability in ternary dilute ferromagnetic iron-base alloys were studied in the temperature range of -50°C to +30°C. Interstitial carbon and nitrogen were the diffusing elements. Nominal percentages of the substitutional transition elements manganese, chromium, vanadium and titanium were added to determine the extent of substitutional-interstitial pair interactions. No additional temperature dependent after-effect of the initial permeability was noticed in Fe- substitutional -C alloys, while such after-effects were present in Fe- substitutional -N alloys. Magnetic after-effect data were analyzed on the basis of single Debye relaxations. Relaxation times for carbon and nitrogen diffusion in alpha-iron …
Endogenous Metabolism Of Polyporus Sulfureus. : Utilization Of Exogenous Carbohydrates And Fatty Acids, Shu-Mei Wang
Endogenous Metabolism Of Polyporus Sulfureus. : Utilization Of Exogenous Carbohydrates And Fatty Acids, Shu-Mei Wang
Masters Theses
"A strain of Polyporus sulfureus from the collection at the University of Missouri at Rolla was used in this investigation. Organisms of this genus have been reported to produce eburicoic acid in good yield and this was confirmed for the organism used in this study by the isolation and identification of eburicoic acid from the mycelium. Growth studies of this organism showed that 4% malt extract is a better medium than synthetic media containing asparagine, nitrate or nitrate plus 0.5% yeast extract as nitrogen sources. An examination of the pH of the culture medium led to the conclusion that regardless …
Mineralization Of The Boss Bixby Anomaly, Iron And Dent Counties, Missouri, Frederick Joseph Smith
Mineralization Of The Boss Bixby Anomaly, Iron And Dent Counties, Missouri, Frederick Joseph Smith
Masters Theses
"The Boss-Bixby deposit is located on the line dividing Iron and Dent Counties and belongs to the Southeast Missouri Precambrian Iron Metallogenic Province.

Four different methods of zoning are presented. Partial pressures of oxygen and sulphur [sic], as well as temperature controlled sequential deposition …
A Study Of Solvent Effects On The Reaction Between P-Nitrobenzyl Chloride And Hydroxide Ion In Aqueous Dioxane Homogeneous Media, Ken K. Ho
Masters Theses
"The kinetics and activation parameters of the reaction between p̲, p̲' - dinitrostilbene quantitatively, have been studied in five aqueous dioxane solvent systems at five different temperatures between 20⁰ and 40⁰C. At any one temperature the second-order rate constants are minimum in the 30% dioxane solvent mixture, reach a maximum in the 50% dioxane systems, and fall off slightly in the 60% and 70% dioxane systems. The Arrhenius activation energies are highest in the 30% dioxane and lowest in the 70% dioxane systems. The free energies of activation change in the same direction but the magnitude of change is much …
Electronic Transitions In Diatomic Molecules, James O. Hornkohl
Electronic Transitions In Diatomic Molecules, James O. Hornkohl
Masters Theses
"The electronic transition moments of many band systems have been found to be linear functions of the internuclear distance. However, some band systems exhibit a quadratic variation of the transition moment. In these quadratic cases, the plots from which the variation of the transition moment is determined are based upon the approximation of the second r-centroid by the square of the first r-centroid. The square of the first r-centroid does closely approximate the second r-centroid by a simple error analysis shows that the small difference between the two is not a quantitative measure of the error introduced into the transition …
Infrared Related Solid State Studies, Donald George Rathbun
Infrared Related Solid State Studies, Donald George Rathbun
Masters Theses
"Infrared reflectivity measurements have been made on single crystal CdS. Classical dispersion analysis has been used in an analysis of the data to obtain the index of refraction, the extinction index, and the dispersion parameters. These are compared with previously published results. The procedure used in this analysis has been outlined for future reference. Also, the shallow donor impurity theory has been used to numerically calculate the d±1 levels for Si and Ge. The theory is extended for the case of the impurity in the bulk semiconductor and the d₀, d±2 and, for high n, the s, p₀, …
The Geology Of The Thayer Area Emphasizing The Stratigraphy Of The Cotter And The Jefferson City Formations, William Jesse Hedden
The Geology Of The Thayer Area Emphasizing The Stratigraphy Of The Cotter And The Jefferson City Formations, William Jesse Hedden
Masters Theses
"Detailed geologic mapping of the Cotter-Jefferson City formational contact in the Thayer, Missouri area demonstrates the feasibility of using this contact. This mapping also delineates significant faulting in the area.
The stratigraphy of the Cotter and Jefferson City formations in the Thayer area has been studied to find a mappable contact between the two formations. The contact was mapped in this area by using marker beds, the stratigraphic positions of which were determined by applying insoluble residue techniques to outcrop sections. Because the insoluble residue zones of the Cotter and Jefferson City formations are recognizable throughout the state of Missouri …

Conductive Sphere On A Charged Conductive Plane, Birney Robert Fish
Conductive Sphere On A Charged Conductive Plane, Birney Robert Fish
Masters Theses
Statement of the Problem: If a conductive sphere is placed in contact with a semi-infinite, conductive plane, the configuration constitutes a three-dimensional equipotential surface. Assuming an isolated plane to be electrically charged to a known surface charge density (σ°) originally, it is desired to determine the effect produced by placing a sphere on the plane. Specifically, the purpose of this investigation is to determine the force exerted on the sphere normal to the plane, the total charge acquired by the sphere and the perturbation in the electrical field due to its presence on the plane.

A Study Of The Afterglow Of An R-F Excited Mercury Discharge, James A. Aubrecht
A Study Of The Afterglow Of An R-F Excited Mercury Discharge, James A. Aubrecht
Masters Theses
"The short duration afterglow of an r-f discharge in mercury has been examined versus ground state mercury atom density and r-f power. The intensity of the 5771, 5462, 4360, 4079, 4047, 3907, 3651/56, 3342, and 3127/32Å atomic mercury lines were observed to decay as a function of time after the shut off of the active discharge. At temperatures below 333⁰K, all atomic lines decayed exponentially, and no molecular emission was observed. From 333⁰K to 423⁰K, the atomic lines were observed to decay rapidly initially, then exhibit an enhancement effect in intensity which was produced by metastable atom collisions, and finally, …
