An Inquiry Into The Rise Of Communism In China, Edward Augustine Raleigh

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The Chinese Communist Party cannot raise the living standard in China without substantially jeopardizing its hold on people.

When men are fed and properly clothed in the industrial society that theoretically is the base of Communism, they turn to some other governmental form.

Communism in China has an emotional side that led its believers into the long fight for survival. Communists fought for a cause. They believed in the right of their way and they still believe in it. However, as Dallin points out in his Soviet Russia …

The Effect Of Cross-Linkage On Internal Diffusion In Dowex-50 Ion Exchange Resin, John Paul Peterson Jr.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

As far back as the time of Aristotle sand filters were used to purify water. However it was not until the time of Thompson and Way (1848), two English agricultural chemists, that the idea of actual exchange of ions was proposed. Ion exchange has been investigated extensively, resulting in applications to softening of water, purification of sugar, separation of compounds, recovery of metals, many pharmaceutical separations and many others.

It has been proposed that the internal diffusion should be related to the internal structure of the ion exchange resin. The object of this research was to measure the internal diffusion …

Incarnation : Hindu And Christian Thought, Benjamin Anthony Francis

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In writing these following pages, I have carefully avoided criticism of any kind. In these pages, I have mentioned the main differences between the Hindu and Christian faiths. I have treated this subject of incarnation with due respect to both the religions. If the subject could be discussed on an evaluative basis, then there would be the possibility of coming to the conclusion that there is less truth and more truth in different religious faiths. The most important consideration will be the truth value. In the incarnation stories, man is restored by God’s creative act to his original state.

The Urea Adducts Of Certain Esters Containing Twenty Carbons, Donald Eugene Johnson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Urea has the interesting and unexpected property of forming solid complexes with many straight-chained organic compounds. So selective is the formation of these complexes with linear aliphatic compounds that it provides a means of separation form the analogous branched and cyclic compounds. Linear esters derived from normal saturated and unsaturated esters give adducts also but not to the same extent. Although many linear aliphatic compounds form adducts, the compounds so formed have varying degrees of stability depending on molecular weight, saturation and the shape of the molecule.

The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effect of the position …

There recently has been an interest in reviving eighteenth century flute music, much of which was clearly intended for the transverse flute. Music intended for other media which was …
