"A static phase converter is a device which supplies polyphase power to a load from a single-phase power source using only passive circuit elements. Ideally such a device should produce balanced polyphase voltages at the ...

"Messrs. Ramaswamy and Ramaiah suggest an elegant procedure for determining the roots of the eighth-degree characteristic equation. The method consists of converting the eighth-degree equation into a biquadratic and then ...

The study described was propounded to determine if it is possible to provide a biophysical driving force that will stimulate the operator in repetitive tasks to work at a rhythm that is comfortable, yet more productive ...

Formulas are derived for several cases of loosening of bolted joints caused by stresses in excess of elastic limits and accompanying permanent deformations. It is shown that loosening occurs during the initial application ...

"A method using steady-state transforms is described which indicates how the sum function of a Fourier series may be obtained. The method can be applied to problems arising from circuits containing concentrated circuit parameters, but is not quite...

"Aufwuchs production was measured from its accrual on plexiglass substrates submerged in a stream. A method was developed for separating autotrophic and heterotrophic aufwuchs production and for separating this production ...

"This paper defines a new structural parameter called "Sequence-summation Factor" which may be used in the systematic calculation of "over-relaxation" factors for moment distribution processes. These sequence-summation ...

"Describes a design method for reinforced concrete beams and slabs in which the allowable ratio of span to deflection is a criterion. The method may also be used for estimating deflections in given designs including those ...

"The principal disadvantage of concrete as a structural material is its relative great dead weight. This paper traces the development of commercially produced lightweight aggregates in the U.S.A. The manufacture and the ...

"In order to operate a power system at optimum economy, the production costs and transmission losses must be coordinated. A straightforward derivation of the co-ordination conditions is given. A widely adopted method of ...

"This paper presents a procedure whereby the dynamic soil constants required for the accurate prediction of the natural frequencies of a foundation-soil system may be determined. The foundation-soil system is treated by ...

"Most analyses on a circular coil when used in the eddy current method for nondestructive testing are empirical. Theories based on simple models are often inadequate to account for some experimental observations when the ...

system which would meet the rugged demands of field service condition and yet provide reasonable accuracy. University of Missouri research personnel supervised the installation of all instrumentation appurtenances in the various elements of the structure...

"This paper contains the results of an analytical and experimental investigation of the effects of open junctions on the magnitude of pressure changes in closed conduits flowing full. Junctions of rectangular, square, and ...

"This bulletin contains a list of University of Missouri speakers available for programs given by schools and other organizations throughout the State. It is hoped that this list, which was prepared in response to numerous requests for speakers...
