The Development Of Methodology For Gas Liquid Chromatographic Determination Of Plant Sugars In Maturing Reed Canarygrass, Allan Scott Bittner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study was concerned with development of chromatographic methods suitable for determination of plant sugars. The resultant methodology was applied to the comprehensive study of plant carbohydrates as they vary during plant growth. Plant cell walls were isolated with boiling water followed by delignification with acid chlorite. The soluble portions were hydrolyzed with 2N sulfuric acid and the total sugars and individual monosaccharides were quantified using gas chromatography and colorimetry. The insoluble residues were hydrolyzed with 72% sulfuric acid followed by dilution with water to 2N and further hydrolysis. The effects of duration of delignification and acid hydrolysis were interpreted …

Oil And Iranian Development, Alireza Emami

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The main concern of this study was two-fold: (a) to compute the Iranian economy's long-run growth potential consistent with full-capacity utilization of the output and stocks with the existing current and capital account matrices; and (b) to simulate the impacts that changing petroleum export levels have on capital formation, employment, and income distribution.

The analysis proceeded by developing a closed dynamic interindustry model in order to compute the "turnpike" growth rate. The uniform or "turnpike" growth rate computed for the base current and capital account matrices was 1.7 percent per annum. This describes the long-run growth potential for Iran. Given …

The Development Of Agricultural Policy And Patterns Of Land Settlement In The State Of Israel (1882 - 1967), Sandra L. Goodman

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

On May 15, 1948, the state of Israel came into existence in accordance with the United Nation's Palestinian partition resolution of November, 1947. After two thousand years of Jewish exile and diaspora, the world had recognized and granted the Jews the right to claim their Biblical homeland. Establishment of the state by no means signified the beginning of Jewish presence in this Middle Eastern corner of the world since the time of their exile in 70 AD. Since the first modern major wave of Jewish immigration into Palestine in the 1880s, national identity had been the goal of idealistic pioneers, …
