The early warning systems about landslide hazards in Ukraine
Authors: Sirenko Anatolii P.
Published: April 2021

Early warning systems are an effective tool for preventing and mitigating the risks associated with the occurrences of various types of threats (including landslides). The paper presents and describes the concept and practical implementation of the new integrated methodology for early warning systems based on the integration of modern monitoring technologies and comprehensive numerical modeling of an object under study. Designing, testing and operation of monitoring systems of complex and unique construction objects have a lot of difficulties, need system knowledge in several spheres of science and engineering: construction, informational technologies, measuring instruments, systems and algorithms of data processing, programming etc. This information is known only to narrow range of highly qualified specialists that directly participated in designing and installing of the particular monitoring system at the particular construction object. The basic concept of Early Warning System installed on landslides is that the elements at risk, especially people being close from the dangerous area, must have sufficient time to evacuate, if an imminent collapse is expected. Therefore, an effective Early Warning System shall include such four main sets of actions: monitoring of the activity of the observed object, i.e. the data collection and transmission, as well as the equipment maintenance; the analysis and modeling of the observed and studied object; warning, i.e. the dissemination of simple and clear information about the observed object; the effective response of risk exposed elements; full understanding of risks. The examples of the practical application of the proposed integrated methodology to various construction projects and natural and technological systems are given, including 1) Central Livadia Landslide System and Livadia Palace; 2) a system for landslide hazard areas monitoring in the Kharkiv region; and 3) landslides Early Warning System using unmanned aerial vehicles as a specialized monitoring system for shearing deformations.
Study of the spectroscopic binary [alpha] Andromedae
Authors:   , Wylie C. C. (Charles Clayton)
Published: April 2021

Spectrum analysis may perhaps be said to date from the year 1666 when Sir Isaac Newton discovered that rays of light of different colors are of different refrangibility. Later he discovered that a beam of white light coming from a small round opening and passed through a prism would be spread out into a band of color. Fraunhoffer in 1823 substituted for the round hole a narrow slit, and found that in the case of the sun the band of color was crossed by many fine dark lines. He also turned the instrument on some of the brighter stars, and found their spectra in general different from that of the sun. For example some showed bright lines. But the true explanation of the bright and dark lines remained a mystery until the announcement in 1859 of Kirchoff's famous law.
Financial history of Boone county from 1821 to 1835
Authors:   , Gerling Henry Joseph
Published: April 2021

In a sense the financial history of Boone County may be said to begin as early as 1816, at the time of the organization of Howard County. But in as much as it possessed no financial powers prior to 1821 separate from those of the county within whose jurisdiction it lay, we may regard a consideration of that period as properly beyond the purview of the present work. We shall also confine ourselves to an investigation of the sources of revenue irrespective of its administration and expenditure. This essay would perhaps on this account be more properly entitled a history of the sources of revenue of Boone County from 1821 to 1835. But, although it has been necessary to thus limit the scope of the work, the title originally adopted will apply.
Normal growth of dairy heifers
Authors:   , Burlingham C. Lloyd (Charles Lloyd)
Published: April 2021

The Federal Office of Farm Management reports (March, 1914) that there are 21,749,651 dairy cows in the United States. Considering the average productive life to be six of seven years, it is evident that 3,000,000 to 3,500,000 heifers must be grown each year to maintain the present number of dairy cows. The Government estimate of the cost of raising each to a productive age is $61.41. It therefore is important, not only that they be economically grown, but that they make such growth as will result in greatest production at maturity. A review of literature shows that little has been done experimentally on the growth of dairy cattle. While the scientific facts of growth have been worked out with man and with laboratory animals, almost no application of these facts has been made to the development of farm animals. The basis of this thesis is a study of growth of dairy heifers from birth to first parturition. The development of animals kept under different planes of nutrition is considered and compared with that made by those fed rations which are thought to be suitable for normal growth. From this data a standard of growth is calculated showing the size a heifer should attain at any particular age.
Church Federation in Missouri
Authors:   , Andrews Frank Archibald Bishop
Published: April 2021

1. A Divided Church. The 1906 Census Report on Religious Bodies gives the number of Protestant denominations in the United States as 164. We are so accustomed to this divided condition of Christendom, having no experience of any other condition, that we naturally look upon it as normal and fail to see an incongruity in the situation. Christianity has in it the elements of a great unifying force. Its teaching regarding the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God presents to us the ideal of all mankind in loving and harmonious relationship. The great motive which the teaching of Jesus sets forth as the mainspring of all action, love to man and love to God, would tend to operate against antimostiy, dissension and prejudice. The divisions now existing in Christendom are not an outgrowth of the Christian Religion as found in the New Testament but seem to be rather an outgrowth of man's pride. prejudice and intolerance which lead men to contend for the interpretation of position which they have accepted and to insist that others shall conform to their views and practices. The founder of the Christian religion recognized these conditions as existing in the world and foresaw what their consequences might be in the kingdom. He prayed that his disciples might all be one in order that the world might believe.[superscript 1] The efectiveness and[superscript 1].
The English Civil Parish
Authors:   , Botts Benson
Published: April 2021

English constitutional history, since the beginning of the political revolution in the seventeenth century, has been the subject of study of every civilized nation. This wide spread interest has resulted in a thorough search through English documents for every available source of information. There is however one field of English insitutuional history that has received little attention, that is the development of English vivil parish before the seventeenth century. The origin of the parish in both civil and ecclesiastical forms has recieved some notice from the older constitutional writers, and recently has been made the subject of special studies. The Elizabethan parish has been fully treated in the general works and in monographs dealing with special functions. However, no writer has attempted to trace the consecutive development of the civil parish from its origin to the heighth of its activity in the seventeenth century. This development is peculiarly important from the standpoint of the growth of English nationalism, yet is has been entirely overlooked. (1)
The extraction and recovery of radium from low grade American pitchblende ores
Authors:   , Cable Alma Steele
Published: April 2021

The pitchblende deposits of the United States are widely distributed, altho the most extensive deopsits are found in Colorado. In the past many of them yielded ore carrying high percentages of uranium oxie (U[subscript 3]O[subscript 8]), sometimes as high as 80 percent U[subscript 3]O[subscript 8]. Consequently only these were utilized and the low grade ores, which contained very high percentages of iron pyrites with correspondingly low percentages of U[subscript 3]O[subscript 8], were thrown on the dump. Since this rejected ore is much larger in amount than the rick ore, a method of recovering the wasted readium an duranium is desirable.
A statistical study of the reliability of scale grading
Authors:   , Caldwell Minnie Wilford
Published: April 2021

Introduction [partial]: The purpose of this paper is to determine the reliability of a series of grades obtained by the use of the Ayres Measuring Scale for Handwriting. In order to make clearer the meaning of the results of the study, which are given in terms of the scale, a brief description of the scale and also of the samples graded, will precede the report of the study itself. The Ayres scale was constructed by measuring the speed of reading of a large number of samples of childrens' writing by ten different persons. Eight degrees of legibility are represented by typical samples selected from the entire number graded by the ten persons. The eight steps are supposed to be equal and are designated by 20, 30, 40, - 90. Each step has three styles of writing of approximately equal quality. The three styles of writing are vertical, medium slant, and full slant. Though the scale was constructed on the basis of legibility, in practice it is used, just as is the Thorndike scale, to measure the quality of a sample rather than its legibility alone. To grad a sample, one is instructed to "slide it along the scale until a writing of corresponding quality is found."

To study the effect of pregnancy and of nursing on the maintenance requirement of mares
Authors:   , Harrison Erbie Lee
Published: April 2021

Abstract taken from three paragraphs of the Introduction to this thesis: A clear understanding of the main principles underlying the nutrition of farm animals has never been more important to the stock farmer than at the present time, with prevailing high prices for feed and labor. In order to secure profitable returns, the farmer must be able to adapt these principles to the special conditions that surround him. A review of literature shows that little has been done experimentally on determining the effect of pregnancy and of nursing on the maintenance requirements of mares. The basis of this thesis is a study of the requirements of two mares under the conditions of pregnancy and nursing. The data secured from the feeding test and a digestion trial for each part of the experiment is compared and a summary of the results presented.

Transcendentalism of curves and of numbers
Authors:   , Hughes Jewell Constance
Published: April 2021

Lindemann's proof that the number e can not be the root of an algebraic equation with algebraic coefficients and algebraic exponents furnishes us with an example of a curve, namely y-e[superscirpt x] which has only one algebraic point, that is, only one point each of those coordinates is algebraic. We will divide points on a curve into three classes with respect to the character of their coordinates is algebraic. We will divide points on a curve into three classes with respect to the character of their coordinates: (1) totally algebraic, in which the x and y coordinates are both algebraic numbers, (2) totally transcendental, in which the x and y coordinates are both transcendental, (3) mixed, in which one coordinate is algebraic and other trascendental. With reference to the so called transcedentalism of the exponental curve Klein says, "Dieser Verlauf der exponential Kurve its gewiss eine hochst merkwurdige Tatsache." Klein was evidentaly thinking of the enormous amount of algebraic points in the plane, it was his first thought, just as it is ours, that a curve would have diffculty in avoiding them. The transcendentalism Klein spoke of is by no means "merkwurdig". There are uncountable hosts of curves with like pecularities. Let us consider first the algebraic ones. Before we begin our discussion, however, let us state a few facts about transcdental and algebraic numbers which will make what we shall say clearer.
Age as a factor in animal breeding
Authors:   , Jones John McKinley
Published: April 2021

Text from the Introduction: Animal breeding to-day offers opportunities for scientific study and research. We find two classes of men engaged in the breeding of domestic animals: First: The practical breeder, who wishes to solve various problems in connection with his breeding operations, so that he may improve or buildup his herds, in order that he may secure a larger income from his capital invested in livestock, and Second: The scientific breeder, who wishes to find out how the characters are transmitted. In such a problem as this, both the scientific and the practical breeder can, no doubt, profit by a knowledge of the methods employed and the results obt a ined by the other. It was with the above idea in mind that the investigation described in Chapters I. and VII. were conducted. The remaining subject matter was taken from various sources, the chief being from data collected from the swine and poultry breeding investigations under way at this Station.
A plan for the reorganization of rural school administration in Missouri
Authors:   , Jones Abner
Published: April 2021

Text from the Introduction: An increasing nrunber of students of social conditions are coming to regard the country school as one of the most pressing problems of our national life. In building, equipment, curriculum, teaching, and results the country school is far below the standard now reached by the elementary school in the city; and no high school at all is provided for a large majority of pupils in the country. Some of the hindrances to rural school betterment are a clumsy, inefficient organization and a lack of funds. When the resources are rneagre it is difficult to procure adequate buildings and equipment and to employ skilled teachers, supervisors, and administrators. In ability to raise money for schools, the city is, as a rule, far superior to the rural community. But the possession of money alone will not insure a high quality of these material and human agencies. There must be an organization by means of which these may be obtained and directed.
Vocational education for Missouri
Authors:   , Melcher Benjamin Franklin
Published: April 2021

Text taken from the Introduction section of this thesis: The problem of vocational education is of sufficient importance to render unnecessary an explanation or apology for offering this dissertation on the subject. It is discussed in popular and educational magazines, and in educational, social, and industrial meetings. There is at present a general concensus of opinion that such education is needed, but no plan is generally accepted as to how this is to be secured. It is my purpose to deal with the administration of vocationai education as found in the United States, to investigate the social, economic, and industrial conditions of Missouri and to make a plan for industrial education in this state. The plan is to show the kinds of education and schools needed and the way in which these schools should be supported.

The cost of milk production
Authors:   , Keeney Mark Hawkins
Published: April 2021

This condition of milk prices has lead to considerable unrest in the dairy industry. State and federal experts have studied the problem, and extension and country agricultural workers, city chambers of commerce, special committes appointed by citizens, boards of health and other municipal organizations and officers are devoting considerable time to the study of milk costs. It is the purpose of the author in this study to deal with the problem only from the standpoint of the cost of production on the farm and to not include the subject of distribution, which constitutes a problem of perhaps equal importance.

The minimum protein requirement for growing dairy heifers
Authors:   , Fine Solomon
Published: April 2021

Text from page 1: "By minimum protein requirements of growing dairy heifers is meant the least quantity of protein in the ration which will allow normal growth to proceed. A study or investigation leading to a knowledge of the minimum amount of protein to be fed growing dairy heifers, to solve the fundamental problems should be conducted with animals receiving purified food substances, and every nutritional factor should be under complete control. It is obvious that this is entirely impractical with such large farm animals as dairy heifers. Consequently the results cannot be entirely satisfactory from a scientific standpoint. Yet if such experiments are properly controlled they should give results of value both scientifically and practically."

The beginnings of naturalism in the English novel
Authors:   , James Eula
Published: April 2021

"By the words "scientific observation" a picture of the laboratory is called up. However, life cannot be reduced to the small limits of a scientist's workshop; thus the naturalistic writer uses the statistical and case method of research: he makes a study of cases as he sees them and carefully tabulates results. The true naturalist just as cheerfully accepts all the factors and just as carefully keeps himself out of the final results as does the physicist or chemist. It is life, and not his own feeling for it, that he aims to present."--Page 3.

Text from page 77: "The conclusion of the report of the committee, "it is the duty of the Red Cross to foster and conserve such social awakening as the Red Cross has brought about and to help local communities to find ways in which they can express well their desire for social advancement", is, in effect, a summary of the aim of the peace program of Home Service. The Red Cross through its Home Service has already made the greatest contribution to social service in America which any one agency has ever made; the adoption of this peace program will mean that a large part of that contribution will be made permanent. Through the awakening of the social conscience and the social enlightenment of the American people, the country for which our men have fought will have a more democratic Democracy and a more socialized Society. America will have made one step more toward the realization of the social ideal."

This may seem the more remarkable when we consider that other horticultural practices such as pruning, propagation, etc., reached a high degree of development some centuries ago. The improvement of varieties, too, has been developing for scores of years."

The geology of the Breckenridge, Colorado District
Authors:   , Owen Edgar Wesley
Published: April 2021

Text from page 1: "The work used as a basis for this report was done during a part of the Summer of I9I5 in connection with a geologic investigation carried on by a party from the University of Missouri, in charge of Prof. W. A. Tarr. The work included the mapping of the areal geology of the southern half of the Breckenridge, Colorado, mining district and a study of the structural geology of the region. The different igneous intrusions were studied, both as to the character of their rocks and their relation to and effect on the other rocks of the area. A good deal of time was devoted to the study of the economic geology and to the physiography of the district, with special emphasis on the processes and principles involved in each case. The glacial deposits and the part the ice played in developing the physiography of the region were studied to a considerable extent."
Developing baseline design criteria for people with lower body mobility impairments
using inclusive design
Authors:   , Cho Sunhyung
Published: April 2021

[ACCESS
RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The mainstream clothing market focuses on people without disabilities; however, all people should be free to enjoy aesthetic values of clothing, including wearing what they want to wear and being confident in their appearances. To remedy the lack of appropriate clothing for people with disabilities, it is important to understand their clothing needs and problems of a variety of apparel markets by including people with a variety of abilities. The primary goals of this research were to seek a more thorough understanding of the apparel needs of people who live with lower-body mobility impairments and use a wheelchair and to develop an inclusive set of design criteria for mainstream apparel products that address these apparel needs, especially men. The researcher used Rosenblad-Wallin's (1985) framework of clothing to help address clothing properties of PLBMI users. The researcher also used Keates and Clarkson's (2003)Inclusive Design Cube model to develop a set of inclusive clothing design criteria for people with lower-body mobility impairments. The research procedure consisted of two phases of exploratory qualitative research. First, the researcher analyzed the current adaptive clothing market for wheelchair users and its products through content analysis to gather basic information about adaptive clothing. People with disabilities' symbolic expression of independent living, social conformity, and respectability is affected by the clothing' design. In addition, fit, ease of donning and doffing, transferring system, thermal protection, sensory sensitivity, storage, and easy care are important functional aspects of adaptive clothing. Second, the researchers discovered the functional and symbolic apparel needs of people with lower-body mobility impairments, especially from the perspectives of men, by conducting interviews with men with lower-body mobility impairments. Through the research, the researchers identified additional clothing needs based on the sub themes we defined during the content analysis. Third, based on the findings, the researchers suggested baseline design criteria. The criteria met the apparel needs of both PLBMI while also considering mainstream users in accordance with the IDC model. In this approach, the purpose was not to suggest a single design but to provide an example of the reasonable application of information to create multiple designs of inclusive clothing.

Sex variability
Authors:   , Summerfield Hazel
Published: April 2021

The question of variation has long been of interest to scientists. Since the time of Darwin we find investigators endeavoring to determine which sex is the more variable. In a well known controversy on this subject between Havelock Ellis and Karl Pearson, the conflicting opinions are clearly illustrated as shown by the following quotations: "A precise knowledge of the actual facts of the life of men and women forbids us to dogmatise rigidly concerning the respective spheres of men and women. It is a matter which experience alone can demonstrate in detail. It lays the axe at the root of many pseudo-scientific superetitions. Yet there are certain general conclusions which have again and again presented themselves, even when we have been occupied in considering very diverse aspects of the physical and psychic phenomena of human life. One of these is the greater variability of the male; this is true for almost the whole of the field we have covered, and it has social and practical consequences of the widest significance. The whole of our human civilization would have been a different thing, if in early zoological epochs the male had not acquired a greater variational tendency than the female."--Page 1.

Excretion balance, metabolic fate, and tissue residues of N-Phenyl-N'-1,2,5-Thiadiazol-3-Ylurea (Photothidiazuron) in rats
Authors:   , Johnson Terry L.
Published: April 2021

"Thidiazuron (DROPP[copyright]) or N-phenyl-N'-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea is a promising new cotton defoliant currently being developed by NOR-AM Agricultural Products, Incorporated. In addition to its defoliating activity, thidiazuron demonstrates strong inhibition of regrowth with no adverse effect on the opening or quality of fiber of mature bolls not open at the time of application (Anonymous, 1975). These attributes indicate this could be a useful product. With the possibility of widespread use of thidiazuron in cotton growing regions, it is necessary to consider the result of its photodegradation. The major thidiazuron conversion product, which occurs on the plant surface, is photothidiazuron or N-phenyl-N'-1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-ylurea (Anonymous, 1976). This new compound is the result of a rearrangement in the thiadiazol moiety (Anonymous, 1976). Thidiazuron and photothidiazuron are classified chemically as substituted ureas. This includes a broad group of compounds varying greatly in their molecular substituents and commercial uses. However, most substituted ureas are herbicides, and therefore, the orientation of research has been directed to plant and soil situations. Research data pertaining to the effects of substituted ureas upon mammalian and other animal systems is very limited (Geissbuhler, et al., 1975). Since it is possible that leaves and other parts of a thidiazuron treated cotton plant may be incorporated into livestock feed or eaten by other animals, it is essential to examine certain of the properties of photothidiazuron in relation to mammalian systems. The purpose of this study was to determine the excretion balance, metabolic fate, and tissue residues of photothidiazuron in rats. Specifically, the objectives were: 1. To determine the excretion balance, metabolic fate, and tissue residues after the administration of a single oral dose of photothidiazuron-14 aniline- C to male rats, 2. To investigate the degradation of photothidiazuron by rat liver subcellular fractions and by a model hydroxylation system, and 3. To identify major photothidiazuron metabolites."--Introduction.
A laboratory method for the evaluation of iron ores for use in the steam-iron process for the production of hydrogen
Authors:   , Heinze Robert Christian
Published: April 2021

Hydrogen has long been an important industrial substance and several processes for its economical production have been used. One of the older processes utilizes the interaction of steam and iron used is ordinarily spathic iron ore, roasted to convert the iron carbonate to iron oxide.[superscript 1] It is charged into a reactor, reduced with water gas, and then oxidized with steam. The process is generally considered to be a result of the following chemical reaction.
