Item Gateway Centre - Minneapolis, Minnesota(North Dakota State University, 1978) Olschlager, Gordon A.Item A Single-Cylinder Internal Combustion Engine Test Unit for the Engineering Laboratory(North Dakota State University, 1962) Strege, Loren DouglasThe study of the reciprocating internal combustion engine is of prime importance to the student engineer. In our present civilization, the number of units and the total rated power of internal combustion engines in use is far greater than that of all other prime movers combined. Many basic engineering problems are present in the study of the operation of internal combustion engines. A number of mechanical and electrical devices have been developed to aid the engineer in his studies of engine performance. The purpose of this project is to provide the Mechanical Engineering Department of the North Dakota State University with an addition to its laboratory facilities which will enable the student to do additional experimental work in the internal combustion engines field.Item A study of the job and educational experiences of North Dakota vocational agriculture graduates who received the State Farmer degree from 1960 through 1965(North Dakota State University, 1969) Phillips, Terrance GeorgeIt was the purpose of this study to determine the job and educational experiences of North Dakota vocational agriculture graduates who received the State Farmer degree from 1960 through 1965. The specific objectives of the study were to determine: 1. Their present job or educational status, 2. The highest level and nature of their formal educational experiences, 3. The number of different types or grades of jobs they had held, 4. Their present geographic location. This study was limited to gathering the evidence needed to attain the stated objectives. The State Farmer degree recipients represent a select group of Future Farmers of America (FFA) members. It was not intended to be a study in depth of any particular occupational or educational characteristic or factor related thereto. Nor was the study to analyze the occupational and educational choice of the entire FFA membership in North Dakota or make inferences concerning all vocational agriculture graduates during the time period 1960 through 1965. Because of the limits of the scope of this study and the time element involved, no control group was used and therefore no comparisons were made.Item Personality Deterioration of Relapsed Alcoholics Employing the MMPI: An Exploratory Study(North Dakota State University, 1978) Vantine, DeniseThere are two schools of thought concerning alcoholism and recovery thereof. Pattison, Sobel & Sobel and others seemed to represent those who were not positive alcoholism was progressive; and consequently, they indicated social drinking might be resumed under certain circumstances by alcoholics. For the purposes of this study, hereafter, this school of thought was termed non-traditionalist. Others in the field, such as Milam, Fox, Mann, and Jellenik, stated alcoholism was progressive and accordingly abstinence was the only viable method for recovery. For the purposes of this study, hereafter, this school of thought was termed traditionalist. This research study was undertaken with the intent to verify progressive personality deterioration and therefore support the traditionalists or to refute them if personality deterioration was not identified.Item Growth and Development of Native Range Plants in the Mixed Grass Prairie of Western North Dakota(North Dakota State University, 1963) Goetz, HaroldThis study was initiated to secure quantitative data on growth characteristics of the major species in the mixed grass prairie of western North Dakota; to determine the extent and range in yearly variations in growth patterns of the species and of the type as a whole; to assess the general influence of climate as a cause for seasonal and yearly variations in growth patterns; and to interpret the data obtained in terms of their possible application to the practical grazing management of these grasslands.Item History of 4H clubwork in home economics, Ramsey County, North Dakota, 1928 to 1968(North Dakota State University, 1970) Jones, Lois HeftiAgricultural and homemaking activities for boys and girls in clubs existed as early as 1910 in Ramsey County, North Dakota. The development of 4H clubwork emerged in later years and affected the lives of most rural families of the county. This study is a chronological account of the history of home economics 4H clubwork in Ramsey County through the years 1928 to 196S. The purpose of the study was (1) to trace the growth and expansion of the home economics 4H clubwork in Ramsey County from 1928 to 1968; (2) to record the chronological development of 4H clubwork, activities, and achievement; (3) to summarize the changes in home economics clubwork.Item Impedances of a Cubical Quad Antenna(North Dakota State University, 1965) Choong, Tsi-lungRectangular loop antennas and short electric dipoles are two of the oldest antennas in existence. In 1888, twenty years after Maxwell invented his famous Maxwell's equations, Hertz used these two antennas to prove that high frequency electric energy sources could radiate electro- magnetic waves. The "Cubical Quad" or, simply, "Quad" antenna is a development of the rectangular loop antenna. It consists of a pair of square loops, one-quarter wavelength on a side or one wavelength around the periphery; one loop being driven and the other used as a parasitic reflector. The separation between the two is usually of the order of 0.15 to 0.2 wavelength, with the planes of the loops parallel. While studying the properties of this antenna, it was discovered that little had been done to develop it from a theoretical aspect. The purpose of this thesis is to obtain values of the self and mutual impedances existing in such an antenna array. The values are obtained from mathematical analysis and experimental measurements and may be used in field pattern and gain calculations.
