A course in elementary high school biology within the students environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
This thesis is an attempt at the solution of a problem which has grown out of some discouragements and difficulties experienced in connection with three years of teaching biological sciences to first year high school ...
Relative influence of the sire and dam upon the inheritance of speed in standard trotting horses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
Since the study of the transmission of character began, a diversity of opinion has existed and some data have been secured upon the relative influence of sire and dam in the production of offspring. From the limited data ...
Cream ripening and its relation to butter flavors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
The object of the investigations reported in this thesis was to study a few of the factors affecting the quality of cream before it is churned, and the quality of the butter within a short duration of time after it is ...
The preparation of some of the liquid halogen compounds of vanadium and the measurement of their dielectric constants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
The present investigation consists of (1) a study of the different methods of preparing the halogen compounds of vanadium and (2) the measurement of the dielectric constant of the three compounds liquid at the ordinary ...
The separation of vanadium from crude sodium uranate and conversion of latter into uranium oxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
The experiments here described have resulted in at least four methods that have proven successful for removal of vanadium from the crude urinate, which is obtained on a large scale in the plant of the National Radium Institute.
Novalis' religioese stellung
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
It is the object of this work to get a short, defined picture of the religious mystic, poet, and philosopher Novalis.
A collection of graphs to accompany certain topics in the study of function theory of a real variable
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In Part I of this paper, I have dealt with only well-known properties of functions - treating them from the graphic standpoint entirely and referring the reader, to the best authorities I could find, for the Algebraic ...
Oscillation of certain sets of orthogonal functions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
In the classic memoirs of Sturm and Liouville, two classes of theorems are found concerning sets of orthogonal functions. The first deal with the number of sign-changes in [phi]3, and the second with the number of sign-changes ...
Recent Jewish immigration to the United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
The attempt was made to present the results of an investigation of the problem of Jewish immigration to this country. Since an original study of this problem was not possible, it devolved upon the writer to take all that ...
Effective cooperation between rural school patrons and the schools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
In 1909, ten states had commissions searching out the causes of the wretched condition of schools in the country and villages. While the city schools have improved their courses of study, erected fine buildings, and are ...
Study of the convergence of series in certain orthogonal functions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
In this present paper we will develop some theorems concerning the degree of convergence of certain series, in particular a Fourier's series, a Legendre's series, and a series of Bessel's functions. Before proceeding ...
An investigation of the feasibility and cost of the construction of a transmission line from Brookfield, Missouri to Laclede, Missouri
(University of Missouri, 1911)
The object of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility and cost of the construction of a transmission line from Brookfield, Missouri to Laclede, Missouri for the purpose of supplying Laclede with electrical energy for ...
Influence of some external conditions upon infection of hosts with powdery mildews
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
It has long been observed that one condition or another of the environment is favorable to the perpetuation and spread of fungous diseases. For example, it is very easy to recognize the close relation which exists between ...
The electric water level indicator
(University of Missouri, 1910)
The problem of automatically indicating, at a distance, the height of water in a storage basin or open water way is one which chiefly concerns water power plants although it may come up, of course, in many different cases. ...
A proposed water power plant for the University of Missouri
(University of Missouri, 1909)
Hydro-Electric Power Development is fast becoming one of the largest branches of engineering. Much attention is being paid to it in all good engineering schools. But it is impossible to get much out of the study unless a ...
A report on a five hundred and fifty kilowatt plant
(University of Missouri, 1912)
The object of this thesis is to present a report on an electric generating station of the size most commonly encountered in electric lighting work. This size station, and others varying in size from a little smaller to a ...
Protein requirements for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The last report of the United States Department of Agriculture shows that it costs $61.40 to raise a dairy heifer until two years of age. Most of this cost as shown by them is the feed, and of the feeds used those of a ...
Some new aspects of the Galois theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
Realizing that the Galois theory of algebraic equations as commonly presented seems artificial, abstract, and intricate, we have been led in the following paper to attempt to present in a clear, tangible fashion the general, ...
The effect of soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply upon the root development of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
After summarizing previous experiments pertaining to soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply on various plants, specifically grains, he details his own experiments on these effects on the root development of maize. ...
