The Effect Of Pregnancy And Lactation On The Iodine Compounds In The Tissues And Plasma Of The Rat, Harry Jay Lyons
The Effect Of Pregnancy And Lactation On The Iodine Compounds In The Tissues And Plasma Of The Rat, Harry Jay Lyons
Theses and Dissertations
An isotopic equilibrium method was employed, based on the chronic feeding of an 125I-labeled diet of known specific activity, to determine the distribution and quantitation of endogenously labeled iodine-containing compounds in the female rat at various periods during gestation and post-parturition. A decrease was associated with gestation in the total iodine, which was significant in all extrathyroidal tissues except the brain and muscle, and a fall in thyroxine concentration which was significant in all extrathyroidal tissues except the heart. The triiodothyronine level decreased from the control values in gestation but not as consistently. There was also a significant decrease in …
An Analysis And Comparison Of Linear Phase Bandpass Filters, Darrell L. Ash
An Analysis And Comparison Of Linear Phase Bandpass Filters, Darrell L. Ash
Theses and Dissertations
The ideal bandpass filter is defined as one which uniformly attenuates and delays all frequency components within the passband and effects zero transmission of all components outside the passband. For reasons which will be subsequently discussed, it is impossible to realize a stable lumped-element filter having this ideal characteristic. This has made it necessary to find ways to physically approximate such a characteristic. Some of the more widely used methods will be compared and analyzed in this paper.

High Pressure, High Temperature Syntheses Of Rare Earth Diantimonides And Th₃P₄ Type Polymorphs Of Rare Earth Sesquisulfides, Normal L. Eatough
High Pressure, High Temperature Syntheses Of Rare Earth Diantimonides And Th₃P₄ Type Polymorphs Of Rare Earth Sesquisulfides, Normal L. Eatough
Theses and Dissertations
The rare earths form series of compounds which are known for several elements but end abruptly or undergo a change of structure at some member of the series. The diantimonides are one such series. Sb-Sb repulsion becomes stronger as the rare earth size decreases and the previously known series ended at Sm. It was felt that high pressure would overcome the Sb-Sb repulsion and allow bonding to form stable or metastable compounds not possible by ordinary techniques. Synthesis studies were carried out on mixtures of antimony with all the rare earths except Pm and with Sc and Y. The known …

Factors Influencing Production Of Flower Stalks In Agropyron Cristatum (L.) Gaertn, Neil C. Frischknecht
Factors Influencing Production Of Flower Stalks In Agropyron Cristatum (L.) Gaertn, Neil C. Frischknecht
Theses and Dissertations
A study was made of factors that influence production of different numbers of flower stalks of crested wheatgrass on grazed and ungrazed areas. Both laboratory and field studies were made. Greatest response in flower stalk production resulted from application of nitrogen in the field, amounting to an increase of from 5 to 10 times the numbers of flower stalks on untreated areas. Responses of plants in the greenhouse supported these results. Plants grown in the dark indicated that higher carbohydrate reserves existed in ungrazed than in grazed plants. It was concluded that a high carbohydrate-low nitrogen balance was the primary …

A Study Of Reaction Parameters In The Hydrogenation Of Acetic Acid By Rhenium Heptoxide Catalyst, Victor L. Mylroie
Theses and Dissertations
Rhenium oxides as well as other rhenium compounds are known to display a broad spectrum of catalytic activity,^25 being resistant to attack by acids under nonoxidizing conditions, and showing a remarkable ability to resist poisoning which is a serious limiting factor in many commonly used catalysts. Rhenium catalysts are cheaper than the platinum metals with the exception of palladium. One of the most remarkable properties of the rhenium catalyst is the ability to catalyze the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids and amides to the corresponding alcohols and amines respectively. The carboxyl group (-COOH) is notoriously difficult to reduce catalytically and most …
