Monsanto's Energy Conservation Program, Ray E. Doerr
Monsanto's Energy Conservation Program, Ray E. Doerr
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
Energy conservation is not new to Monsanto. We have had utility and process improvement programs for many years. But the motivation of these programs was to reduce our operating costs and improve profits. However, these programs did result in substantial energy savings.
Now, however, Monsanto is placing major emphasis on a broad-scale energy conservation program for all Monsanto locations. The energy saving potential is great and is necessary because of the energy shortage as well as the rapidly escalating energy costs.

Energy Conservation In The Manufacturing Process, Paul H. Kaiser
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
My presentation will cover the basic procedure used by the Emerson Electric Co. to conserve energy in Its operations. And because people frequently tell me how much they like or dislike our television sets, and how concerned they are or are not about the depth of our involvement in furnishing material for the Defense Department, at this point I would like to give a short commercial. Hopefully, it will dispel misconceptions, and define the use of energy in Emerson's operations.

Development Of Industrial Energy Management Programs, Michael C. Noland
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
Energy management is a term which has only recently been entered in the business management lexicon. Until recently business managers, even the most successful ones, devoted only casual thought to the need to manage their use of fuels and electricity. Energy was cheap and plentiful. Economic sense dictated that if labor could be replaced by more energy-intense processes or equipment, the smart manager did so. Local and national policy, industrial process design, consumer habits--all these and more encouraged massive energy consumption.

A Solar-Hydrogen Energy Conversion Scheme For Agricultural Use, R. L. Reisbig, Jack L. Boone, Gordon E. Weiss, Thomas Van Doren
A Solar-Hydrogen Energy Conversion Scheme For Agricultural Use, R. L. Reisbig, Jack L. Boone, Gordon E. Weiss, Thomas Van Doren
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
A solar energy activated system is presented which can produce hydrogen and hydrogen-derived fuels (methanol) for use on farms. The device, named "solar-kine", also can produce fertilizer (anhydrous ammonia) as a byproduct of the hydrogen. A cost analysis shows that solar-kine may be mass-producible and sold to farmers for between $7,200 and $14,700. This is equivalent to giving the fanner energy at a price of $1.79 to $3.66 per million BTU's (in 1974 dollars). Presently (Spring, 1974) regular gasoline used in tractors at 43¢ per gallon, represents a cost to the farmer of $3.77 per million BTU's. As oil-based fuels …

Introduction -- Solar And Wind Energy, Jack L. Boone
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
In recent years the scientific community has begun to explore the many alternatives of using solar energy in terms of solar energy conversion schemes. These, in general, may be classified according to use. We can talk about solar to low-grade thermo residential heating and cooling applications. We can talk about solar to high-grade heat for such applications as steam powered generation and certain high-temperature conversion processes. We can talk about solar to electrical for either residential or for large power production installations; and we can talk about wind to electrical and this would, of course, come in both large and …
Auditing Program For Effective Energy Conservation, S. Noble Robinson
Auditing Program For Effective Energy Conservation, S. Noble Robinson
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
Mallinckrodt Chemical Works has developed and is using a special audit format to identify conservation opportunities for all its utilities. Manufacturing, Utilities, R & D, and Engineering personnel are collected together for several days during which time a process or operation is subjected to an intense analyses of its utilities consumption, a brain-storming of conservation ideas, and then an "on-the-spot" engineering analysis of the economics and feasibility of each idea. This technique is a fast, comprehensive way to assess conservation potentials while committing the attention of those operating groups that can implement the ideas.
International Regulation Of Marine Pollution From Land-Based Sources, Richard Tucker Scully
International Regulation Of Marine Pollution From Land-Based Sources, Richard Tucker Scully
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
Most of the waste products of human society end up in the oceans and the number and quantities of pollutants entering the oceans have been increasing at exponential rates. Recognition of these trends has resulted in expansion of international environmental attention to include sources of marine pollution other than vessels. Source, in this sense, refers to the pathway through which pollutants reach the sea. Land-based sources accounts for the vast bulk of the pollutants reaching the oceans. Effective protection of the marine environment, therefore, must include regulation of land-based sources of marine pollution.

Angular Distribution Of Photoelectrons From Atomic Oxygen, Nitrogen, And Carbon, Steven T. Manson, David J. Kennedy, Anthony F. Starace, Dan Dill
Angular Distribution Of Photoelectrons From Atomic Oxygen, Nitrogen, And Carbon, Steven T. Manson, David J. Kennedy, Anthony F. Starace, Dan Dill
Anthony F. Starace Publications
The angular distributions of photoelectrons from atomic oxygen, nitrogen and carbon are calculated. Both Hartree-Fock and Hartree-Slater (Herman-Skillman) wave functions are used for oxygen, and the agreement is excellent; thus only Hartree-Slater functions are used for carbon and nitrogen. The pitch angle distribution of photoelectrons is discussed and it is shown that previous approximations of energy independent isotropic or sin2 θ distributions are at odds with our results, which vary with energy. This variation with energy is discussed as is the reliability of these calculations.

The Perplexities Of The U. S. Marine Transportation System, Stewart B. Nelson
The Perplexities Of The U. S. Marine Transportation System, Stewart B. Nelson
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
The U. S. merchant marine, today, is struggling to attain physical and economic health, but it is a formidable undertaking since approximately 95 percent of U. S. ocean-borne trade is currently being carried by foreign flag vessels. As used in this paper, the marine transportation system will focus upon the "well-balanced" aspects of maritime activities. Emphasis will be placed on the carriage of water-borne commerce and related supportive activities and industries. This paper, with only the broadest of perspectives, attempts to make some general comments concerning the economies of the marine transportation system and the interrelationships between marine transportation modes …

The Tanker And Ocean Oil Pollution, Raymond Coombs
The Tanker And Ocean Oil Pollution, Raymond Coombs
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
It is now clear that the capacity of the oceans to accept some of the by-products of civilization is limited. The oceans can no longer be the world's sink, it we are to maintain the ecological viability of the biosphere. The dangers of the present situation are compounded by the difficulties in defining "marine pollution." Today's concern with pollution and its effects upon our way of life requires that the impact of ships on the marine environment be considered in order to minimize the risk that waterborne cargoes, particularly petroleum products, present to the ecology.
The Dilemma Of Deep Ocean Mining, Paul W. Dillingham Jr.
The Dilemma Of Deep Ocean Mining, Paul W. Dillingham Jr.
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
Mineral substances and materials derived from them, whether in the form of fuels, construction materials, metals for farbication, tools, chemicals, or fertilizers, are the foundation of our technological civilization. The modern industrial civilization depends upon the continued availability of mineral raw materials. The problem is not one of actual scarcity ; the raw materials are there in the ground and in the sea in great supply. The question and the uncertainty is economic; How will these resources be recovered and by whom? This proposition becomes the central force in order to adjust to the new resources climate.

The Two Hundred Mile Economic Zone And Scientific Research, Peter R. Latham
The Two Hundred Mile Economic Zone And Scientific Research, Peter R. Latham
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
Knowledge of the deep ocean floor; continental shelves and margins is basic to many present and future uses of the sea. Such uses include mineral extraction, navigation of surface and subsurface vehicles, construction of structures on the sea bottom and along the margin, and exploitation of living resources of the shelf and of the water column. Uses of the ocean are directly impinged upon by technological changes resulting from research efforts. Applied science is nowhere more visible than in current development of offshore petroleum sources, development of new fisheries and speculation over possibilities for wealth awaiting mankind on the sea …

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences
The effects of dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium americanum Nutt. ex. Engelm.) on the wood properties of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.) were studied. The results indicate: a decline in modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, and work to proportional limit in both infected and noninfected wood from the infected trees; a higher specific gravity of the infected wood; a higher percentage of alcohol-benzene extractives in the infected wood; an increase in longitudinal shrinkage in both infected and noninfected wood from the same tree; a lower percentage of latewood in wood from infected trees; no significant difference in growth ring …
Tb69: Variability Of Drought In The Northeast, Eliot Epstein
Tb69: Variability Of Drought In The Northeast, Eliot Epstein
Technical Bulletins
Drought has been defined in many different terms and interpreted in different ways by meteorologists, hydrologists, and agriculturists. Essentially, the interpretation has depended on the means of evaluation. Hydrologists are essentially concerned with precipitation and runoff and often defines drought as a given period without rain. Agriculturists define drought in terms of soil moisture as related to crop growth. This publication presents many different graphs and maps on precipitation, evapotranspiration, and soil-plant relationships.

Multiregional Interactions Between Energy And Transportation, Karen R. Polenske
Applications
Because of the number and complexity of the issues that will determine the use of coal by the electric-generating plants, an important asset of policy makers will be the availability of a method of analysis that allows for quick studies of many different combinations of assumptions and policies. The present prototype study is designed to show how the multiregional input-output model can be used to investigate each different assumption and policy alternative. For this paper, the analysis has necessarily been restricted to two issues. First, the results of using regional rather than national technologies in the model are assessed. This …

Finitely Generated Modules Over Bezout Ringsrwiegand@Unl.Edu, Roger Wiegand, Sylvia Wiegand
Finitely Generated Modules Over Bezout Ringsrwiegand@Unl.Edu, Roger Wiegand, Sylvia Wiegand
Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit: Staff Publications
Let R be a Bezout ring (a commutative ring in which all finitely generated ideals are principal), and let M be a finitely generated R -module. We will study questions of the following sort: (A) If every localization of M can be generated by n elements, can M itself be generated by n elements? (B) If M 0 R m = Rn for some m, n, is Af necessarily free? (C) If every localization of M has an element with zero annihilator, does M itself have such an element? We will answer these and related questions for various familiar classes …
Is Mathematical Truth Time-Dependent?, Judith V. Grabiner
Is Mathematical Truth Time-Dependent?, Judith V. Grabiner
Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research
Another such mathematical revolution occurred between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and was focused primarily on the calculus. This change was a rejection of the mathematics of powerful techniques and novel results in favor of the mathematics of clear definitions and rigorous proofs. Because this change, however important it may have been for mathematicians themselves, is not often discussed by historians and philosophers, its revolutionary character is not widely understood. In this paper, I shall first try to show that this major change did occur. Then, I shall investigate what brought it about. Once we have done this, we can …
The Use Of Transactional Analysis With Inquiry Methods In Physics Teaching, Robert Fuller, Ward L. Sims
The Use Of Transactional Analysis With Inquiry Methods In Physics Teaching, Robert Fuller, Ward L. Sims
Robert G. Fuller Publications
We now offer a course that combines an inquiry approach to physics with elementary school science teaching methods and transactional analysis. Our course carries three semester credits in elementary science methods and three semester credits in physics, a total of nine contact hours per week. In previous interim courses the very positive response we have had from our students, i.e., the excitement in discovering some real physics for themselves, and their decision to use the tools of transactional analysis to say "OK" to themselves and physics, leads us to believe that our course can serve as a useful model for …
