(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
Parasitic infestation of the intestines is one of the most serious and wide spread diseases of swine. With the exception of cholera there is probably no other one disease causing greater loss to hog owners. Parasitism, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Alliteration in Horace
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
Questions that this paper will attempt to answer are: Does Horace show a preference for alliteration of any particular letter or letters? If so, is this due to the fact that a proportionately large number of the words of ...
