LEWIS MICROFORM PROJECT PROGRESS (?) REPORT In our last newsletter we spoke confidently of wrapping up the project in time for the Muir Conference in April. Now we're not quite so sure. We'll be close, but technical problems and some staff changes have forced us to revise our timetable. At this writing we are projecting a July 1 publication date. One big recent change was the reorganization of our …

LEWIS SEARCHING FOR LITERARY HEIRS: WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE? Previous issues of this Newsletter have described the search procedure used by Project staff to locate scattered Muir documents. Another search of equal importance is now being conducted to identify and contact individuals or entities who may claim ownership or control of literary rights to documents or photographs scheduled for publication. The 1978 copyright law clarified and strengthened the doctrine of …

Setchenov Parameters For Naphthalene, Gerardo Gold Bouchot

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this work to study the solubility of naphthalene, the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon as a function of the salt content and the temperature, in ranges that span those likely to be found in natural ecosystems. Another goal is to set up a high-pressure generator, to study the effect of pressure on the solubility of hydrocarbons.

Comparison Of Selected Radiopharmaceutical Chromatographic Quality Control Procedures, Lawrence Ray Andreatta

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of two commercially available chromatography kits with Instant Thin Layer Chromatography-Silica Gel (ITLC-SG) and Whatman Chromatography Paper. The two commercial kits evaluated were the- MAC Klt- produced-General Radioisotopes Products, and the TECH Kit by Ackerman Nuclear.

Effect Of Temperature On The Association Constants Of Some Divalent Metal Ions With Chloride In Sea Water-Like Solutions, Jose Vinicio Macias Zamora

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Association constants for the formation of lead (II) chloride complexes were studies in aqueous solutions also containing copper (II) and cadmium (II) ions.

The ionic strength was adjusted with sodium perchlorate to resemble that of sea water. The temperature was set at fixed values between 5° and 35° C to determine the effect on the equilibria in these systems. The total metal concentration was less than 10^-8 M.

Differential pulse anodic striping voltammetry was used with a conventional three electrode system and a thin-film working electrode of Pt/Hg. Complex formation was followed as a function of the ligand concentration …

The Synthesis Of Various Substituted 3-Amino-7-Hydroxy-2,2-Dimethyltetralins And Their Opioid-Related Activities, David Alan Lippman

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A series of aminotetralones and aminotetralins were synthesized from the common intermediate F, 3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-7-methoxy- 1-tetralone. The final compounds derived from F were simple substituted and/or reduced analogues. The products would allow a progressive structure activity relationship to be drawn based on pharmacological testing.

The common intermediate F was synthesized utilizing a six step procedure starting with p-methoxyphenylacetic acid. The overall yield from the precursor to the F:HC1 was 25%. Compound F was either O-demethylated to form 3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-l-tetralone (I) or was dimethylated on the amine and subsequently O-demethylated to yield the 3-dimethylamino-7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-l-tetralone (J). The last major modification was the reduction of …

Thermodynamics Of Aqueous Solutions Of 1-Naphthyl Methylcarbamate, Miguel Angel Huerta Diaz

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Accurate solubility measurements for the pesticide l-naphthyl-N-methylcarbamate (carbaryl) in water, natural and artificial seawater, NaCl, Na₂SO₄, CaCl₂ and (CH₃)₄NBr, at different temperatures covering the range 5-45 °C, were obtained using a combination of the generator column method and absorption spectroscopy techniques. As a rule, it was found that the solubility of carbaryl in water and in the electrolyte solution increased with an increase in temperature.

The thermodynamic parameter ΔG°, ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔC°_p at 298.15 K, for the dissolution process carbaryl(s) to carbaryl(aq) and carbaryl(s) to carbaryl(aq. elect.), were calculated …

Studies On The Biochemical And Antibiotic Patterns Of The Genus Citrobacter, Craig Richard Tanner

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Today three species are recognized in the genus: C. freundii, C. amalonaticus, and C, diversus. C. freundii is known to occur as three varieties: C. freundii H₂S +, IND -, C. freundii H₂S +, IND +, and C. freundii H₂S -, IND -.

The role of Citrobacter in disease has not been investigated thoroughly. The organism is a normal inhabitant of the human intestine, being as common as Escherichia coli in infants. With age, the child's intestine begins to show a greater ratio of E. coli to Citrobacter (Nahhas, personal communication). Citrobacter has been …
