A study was made cf the cost per pound of magnesium sulfate monohydrate produced by a "Krystal" crystallizer at recirculation rates from 20 to 40 gallons per minute and operating temperatures from 150 to 180 °F. From these tests, the optimum operating conditions within the range of these variables were derived. The problem was studied by operating the equipment at all sixteen combinations of these variables in unit steps of ten. The crystallizer was operated at each set of conditions, the product collected, and the cost per pound determined. The operating conditions were found to affect power and steam costs greatly, varying from 1.689 mills/lb at 50 gallons per minute and 170 °F to 0.737 mills/lb at 20 gallons per minute and 180 °F, representing a decrease. cf 0.952 mills per pound upon correct choice of operating temperature and recirculation rate. / Master of Science

Coarse aggregate is often one of the largest volume occupying components in a portland cement concrete system. With increases in transportation costs and depletion of many of the aggregate sources currently in use the need to reevaluate the performance of aggregates in concrete has arisen. Current aggregate testing requirements for many organizations have not been updated in decades, even with the advancements in aggregate testing equipment that are currently available. This research project investigates current used and potential test methods for evaluating coarse aggregate for use in portland cement concrete. Testing focused on determining the most appropriate aggregate property to evaluate and then determining the correlation to mechanical concrete properties. Relationships between potential aggregate tests and currently used aggregate tests were evaluated to determine if compatible relationships between methods were evident. For this purpose concrete mixtures were made at a fixed aggregate volume to establish if a link was evident between aggregate test properties and concrete. To establish a link between laboratory and real world performance field sites with known distress were visited to better establish limits for aggregate testing requirements. Results obtained provided the basis for recommendations for testing requirements and limits to be used for aggregates in portland cement concrete. / text

Asthma is a chronic disease of airway hyper-responsiveness, airway inflammation and episodic bronchoconstriction. With asthma forecasted to increase by an additional 100 million cases by 2025, there is a critical and immediate need to address new asthma therapies. Guidelines for asthma treatment in the emergency department conditionally recommend intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). However, some investigations have failed to demonstrate beneficial effects. Ethical constraints limit evaluation of the bronchodilatory effects of MgSO4 alone in patients with acute asthma exacerbation, independent of other conventional therapeutics. To address this ethical dilemma, this study consisted of two phases: 1) quantification of the independent pulmonary effect of three doubling doses of MgSO4 in the spontaneous equine model of asthma during naturally occurring exacerbations of bronchoconstriction, and 2) evaluation of arterial blood gas parameters in response to administration of MgSO4 at a dose identified in phase 1 that yielded greatest efficacy without deleterious side effects.
