The Enzymatic Oxidation Of Aldehydes By Xanthine Oxidase, Duane Beal Gregory Jun 1970

The Enzymatic Oxidation Of Aldehydes By Xanthine Oxidase, Duane Beal Gregory

All Master's Theses

As early as sixty years ago, the existence of an enzyme from mammalian tissues which catalyzed the oxidation of xanthine and hypoxanthine was recognized. The name given the enzyme was derived from its earliest recognized action, hence xanthine oxidase. Although little is known about the biological functions of the enzyme, the high affinity shown for xanthine and hypoxanthine may indicate that these are the most significant substrates biologically.


Asymptotic Behavior Of Fluid Jets, Ronald Walter Godfrey May 1970

Asymptotic Behavior Of Fluid Jets, Ronald Walter Godfrey

All Master's Theses

In this paper we shall consider the steady-state, two dimensional, irrotational flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid under gravity.


An Elementary Mathematics Curriculum Study To Determine If Achievement And Attitude Can Be Influenced By A Textbook Adoption, Elsie M. Railey Jan 1970

An Elementary Mathematics Curriculum Study To Determine If Achievement And Attitude Can Be Influenced By A Textbook Adoption, Elsie M. Railey

All Master's Theses

There is on the market a wide range of contemporary mathematics textbooks available. Textbooks approach mathematics differently and there is a variation in terms of the amount of time allocated to a topic, the development of elementary concepts and laws of arithmetic, and the amount of drill and repetition. The sequential development of the texts follows closely, but the scope and content differ significantly. Specifically, it is the purpose of this study to determine if there is a significant difference between series, as opposed to those in another mathematics series, in the variables of attitude and achievement. The two textbooks …


Developing An Optical Scanner Card For Computerized Football Scouting, Curtis Lowell Byrnes Jan 1970

Developing An Optical Scanner Card For Computerized Football Scouting, Curtis Lowell Byrnes

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to develop an optical scanner scouting card to use in conjunction with the computer for football scouting.


Acid-Base Catalysis Of The Enolization Of Acetone, Janet Louise Larson Jan 1970

Acid-Base Catalysis Of The Enolization Of Acetone, Janet Louise Larson

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Measurements are reported on the rate of iodination of acetone at 25°c in arsenate, phosphate, and diethylmalonic acid buffers at a constant ionic strength of 0.2. Unlike earlier results which indicate that in acetic acid buffer the expression for the reaction velocity contains an appreciable kinetic term involving the product of the concentrations of acid and anion, it has been found from the present work that such a term is experimentally immeasurable for the above mentioned buffers. This finding coupled with the relatively powerful catalysis by the phosphate and arsenate dianions could imply the simultaneous participation of these species in …
