The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: from Inception To
THE PORTUGUESE EXPEDITIONARY CORPS IN WORLD WAR I: FROM INCEPTION TO COMBAT DESTRUCTION, 1914-1918 Jesse Pyles, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major Professor Robert Citino, Committee Member Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pyles, Jesse, The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: From Inception to Destruction, 1914-1918. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force. Copyright 2012 by Jesse Pyles ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The love of my life, my wife Izabella, encouraged me to pursue graduate education in history. This thesis would not have been possible without her support. Professor Geoffrey Wawro directed my thesis. He provided helpful feedback regarding content and structure. Professor Robert Citino offered equal measures of instruction and encouragement.

Units and Conversions
Units and Conversions This unit of the Metrology Fundamentals series was developed by the Mitutoyo Institute of Metrology, the educational department within Mitutoyo America Corporation. The Mitutoyo Institute of Metrology provides educational courses and free on-demand resources across a wide variety of measurement related topics including basic inspection techniques, principles of dimensional metrology, calibration methods, and GD&T. For more information on the educational opportunities available from Mitutoyo America Corporation, visit us at www.mitutoyo.com/education. This technical bulletin addresses an important aspect of the language of measurement – the units used when reporting or discussing measured values. The dimensioning and tolerancing practices used on engineering drawings and related product specifications use either decimal inch (in) or millimeter (mm) units. Dimensional measurements are therefore usually reported in either of these units, but there are a number of variations and conversions that must be understood. Measurement accuracy, equipment specifications, measured deviations, and errors are typically very small numbers, and therefore a more practical spoken language of units has grown out of manufacturing and precision measurement practice. Metric System In the metric system (SI or International System of Units), the fundamental unit of length is the meter (m). Engineering drawings and measurement systems use the millimeter (mm), which is one thousandths of a meter (1 mm = 0.001 m). In general practice, however, the common spoken unit is the “micron”, which is slang for the micrometer (m), one millionth of a meter (1 m = 0.001 mm = 0.000001 m). In more rare cases, the nanometer (nm) is used, which is one billionth of a meter.

How to Determine Snow Quality One could collect fresh snow samples and determine weight per Cubic Foot or Cubic Meter and state the quality in density like pounds per Cubic Foot or density per Cubic Meter. A far simpler and practical method is to test the snow on the ground in the production plume while snow guns are operating by doing a Snow Ball Test. The quality can be determined on a scale from 1 to 6 according to the table below: The Snowball Test Snow Quality Description 1 Snow cannot be packed, powder 2 Snow can only be packed into a loose ball that falls apart 3 Snow can be packed into a ball that can be broken apart 4 Snow can be packed into a dense ball that does not change color when squeezed 5 Snow can be packed into a dense ball that changes to a darker color when squeezed but little or no water comes out 6 Snow can be packed into a dense ball that discharges water when squeezed .

MATH REVIEW For a rectangular tank: Most math problems a water treatment plant To find the capacity of a rectangular or square operator solves requires plugging numbers into tank: formulas and calculating the answer. When working with formulas, here are some simple Multiply length (L) by width (W) to get area (A). rules to follow. • Work from left to right. Multiply area by height (H) to get volume (V). • Do anything in parenthesis first. Multiply volume by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot to get capacity (C). • Do multiplication and division in the numerator (above the line) and in the A = L x W denominator (below the line), then do V = A x H addition and subtraction in the numerator C = V x 7.48 and denominator. • Divide the numerator by the denominator Find the capacity of a rectangular tank 15 feet (ft) last. long, 12 ft wide, and 10 ft high: Volume A = 15 ft x 12 ft = 180 square feet (ft2) The volume of a tank in cubic feet is equal to V = 180 ft2 x 10 ft = 1,800 cubic feet (ft3) the tank area multiplied by the tank height. The C = 1,800 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3 =13,464 gal capacity in gallons is equal to the volume in cubic feet multiplied by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot. For a circular tank: Area (A) = (3.14) x diameter squared (D2) / divided by 4 Volume (V) = A x H Capacity (C) = V x 7.48 gal/ft3 A = [ x (D2)/4] V = A x H C = V x 7.48 49 Find the capacity of a circular tank with a For an oval tank: diameter of 15 ft and a height of 12 ft: To find the gallons in an oval tank: A = [3.14 x (15 ft2)/4] = 177 ft2 Multiply the height by width by (3.14) divided by 4 to get the area of the oval.

Price $1; (Add 25 percent additional for other than U.S. mailing). Stock No. 003-003-01654-3 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 76-600055 Foreword "Weights and Measures," said John Quincy Adams in 1821, "may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society." That sentiment, so appropriate to the agrarian past, is even more appropriate to the technology and commerce of today. The order that we enjoy, the confidence we place in weighing and measuring, is in large part due to the measure- ment standards that have been established. This publication, a reprinting and updating of an earlier publication, provides detailed information on the origin of our standards for mass and length. Ernest Ambler Acting Director iii Preface to 1976 Edition Two publications of the National Bureau of Standards, now out of print, that deal with weights and measures have had widespread use and are still in demand. The publications are NBS Circular 593, The Federal Basis for Weights and Measures (1958), by Ralph W.
