The engineer becomes a professional manager
(University of Missouri, 1953)
"Today over a third of the management of large industry in America is in the hands of engineers, over a third of mature engineering graduates now find their duties largely managerial in nature, and most engineers have important contacts...
Stability of laminar flow in curved channels
(University of Missouri, 1957)
"Occurrence of secondary flow of a viscous fluid flowing under a pressure gradient in curved channels has often been explained by invoking the existence of boundary layers before the primary flow is established. In this ...
Ternary system ethyl alcohol--n--heptane-water at 30 [degrees] CThe rectifying property of polarized barium titanate
(University of Missouri, 1955)
Pulsed eddy currents gage plating thickness
(University of Missouri, 1956)
"Echo-sounding technique making use of pulsed eddy currents determines thickness of one metal coated on a base metal. System takes advantage of electrical dissimilarities and is effective even when both metals are ...
Supplemental irrigation ... careful planning is essential
(University of Missouri, 1956)
Irrigation-drainage-climatology for flat humid land
(University of Missouri, 1958)
"Irrigation, drainage, and climatology are combined under professional corporate management of an engineer-agronomist-climatologist type to greatly increase profits on large holdings of flat humid lands. A pioneering development in the Mississippi...
Use of the centrifugal governor mechanism as a torsional vibration absorber
(University of Missouri, 1954)
"The centrifugal governor mechanism, suitably modified, is shown to be a practical torsional vibration absorber. Equations for predicting its performance are developed, and comparisons are made with other types of ...
An evaluation of the overhead projector in teaching kinematics
(University of Missouri, 1961)
"The overhead projector has been used as a teaching aid for several years, in elementary education and in engineering drawing. No use of an overhead projector in kinematics has been reported, nor has there been a statistical evaluation of its...
A system of gaging plating thickness
(University of Missouri, 1959)
The bandwidth of a single layer absorbing material
(University of Missouri, 1960)
The absorber considered in this paper consists of a single layer of lossy dielectric material backed by a good conductor. It is assumed that both the magnetic and the electric dissipation factors of the dielectric may be ...
Thermodynamic properties of n-propyl alcohol
(University of Missouri, 1961)
Non-aqueous solvent electrochemical systems
(University of Missouri, 1958)
of conditions. We have attempted to include only those systems which appear to show something fundamentally new or which have practical significance. Where possible we have correlated the results of our experiments at the University of Missouri with those...
Automatic control : the fundamentals
(University of Missouri, 1958)
Dewatering rates for digested sludge in lagoons
(University of Missouri, 1960)
"Digested sludge lagoons were originally considered temporary sludge storage devices; however, it was found that with prolonged storage a lagoon became an effective drying unit. Since they provide one of the more economical ...
Additions to sample data theory
(University of Missouri, 1955)
"In the current literature, two different approaches to sampled-data theory prevail. One approach emphasizes the z-transformation methods for design and synthesis. The other approach emphasizes the Laplace transformation ...
Additions to z-transformation theory for sample-data systems
(University of Missouri, 1955)
Selection of personnel
(University of Missouri, 1955)
Static modulus of elasticity of concrete as affected by density
(University of Missouri, 1960)
"The elastic modulus of concrete is an important parameter in reinforced concrete design and analysis. With the increased use of lightweight aggregates for structural concrete a better understanding of the relationship ...
A synthesis procedure for sampled-data systems
(University of Missouri, 1956)
This paper proposes a direct synthesis procedure for the design of sampled-data systems using the z-transformation method. This procedure can be summarized as follows: 1. By methods set forth in the literature the pole-zero ...
A method for obtaining a uniform electric field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1966)
"Electric field meters are used for the measurement of the electric field at the surface of the earth, on airplanes and on satellites. For research work and calibration of the meters, a uniform electric field facility is ...
