Life in railroad logging camps of the Shevlin-Hixon Company, 1916-1950

Creator:: Gregory, Ronald L.
Abstract:: Remnants of railroad logging camps, and their associated features, are perhaps some of the most common archaeological resources found on public lands in the Pacific Northwest. Many camps have already been located, their cultural materials inventoried, and networks of logging railroad grades mapped. Yet, despite these efforts, little can be...

Morality and materialism : American conservatives and science, 1945-1964

Creator:: Schefke, Brian R.
Abstract:: Following World War II, the United States enjoyed unprecedented power and prestige. The wartime alliance with the Soviet Union quickly collapsed amid mutual suspicion and fear, however, resulting in the Cold War. Science was a significant political component in that ideological conflict. In the United States, inspired by Franklin D....

Manufactured science - the attorneys' handmaiden : the influence of industry in occupational disease research during the twentieth century

Creator:: Biegel, Craig A.
Abstract:: Since the early twentieth century, manufacturers of toxic products have attempted to discredit research linking their product with disease. At the same time they have manufactured their own science designed to minimize risks associated with their products. Much of this activity has been conducted by or through corporate attorneys, endeavors...

A predictor-corrector method for solving the diffusion equation for water movement in unsaturated soil

Creator:: Ng, Benedict Loil-Chong
Abstract:: The study of water movement in unsaturated soils by using appropriate diffusion equations has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this study, a numerical technique is developed for solving a generalized, dimensionless diffusion equation by the use of a digital. computer. Diffusivity and capillary conductivity equations derived by Brooks...

The fractal structure of surface water waves near breaking

Creator:: Munzenmayer, Katja
Abstract:: The goal of this research project is to determine the fractal nature, if any, which certain surface water waves exhibit when viewed on a microscopic scale. We make use of the mathematical formulation of non-viscous fluids describing their physical properties. Using these expressions and including boundary conditions for free surfaces...

The violin's sound : a mathematical exploration employing principles of continuum mechanics and numerical methods

Creator:: Gyde, Nina J.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the vibrational behavior of the main components of sound production in the violin using a continuum mechanics approach. The author provides a mathematical description of the regions in the vibrating continuum, and begins to develop a system of equations governing their behavior, focusing on the air in...

“The Struggle Continues”: An Analysis of the Concerned Student 1950 Demands at the University of Missouri

Creator:: Larkins, Emma L.
Abstract:: In the fall 2015, students at the University of Missouri embarked upon an extended series of protests aimed at calling out the University’s failure to address recent racist incidents against Black students and a larger oppressive campus culture. The protests prompted the creation of a student group led largely by...

Generalized deformation-rates in secondary flows of viscoelastic fluids between rotating spheres

Creator:: Knoshaug, Ronald Norman
Abstract:: By various experiments, it has been found that the response of real materials to external forces is, in general, nonlinear in character. In classical continuum mechanics, the use of ordinary measures of strain have forced the constitutive equations to take complex forms and since the orders of these measures are...

The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...
