A New Basic Copper Phosphate Mineral From Santa Rita, New Mexico, David B. Givens
A New Basic Copper Phosphate Mineral From Santa Rita, New Mexico, David B. Givens
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
Supergene minerals are not common, nor are they rare at Santa Rita, New Mexico. Kerr (1950,307) reports the presence of cuprite, melaconite, native copper, chrysocolla, machite and azurite. There is also smithsonite present.
The physical appearance of the mineral, coupled with preliminary determinations of the indices of refraction, gave a rough correspondence with dihydrite (Larson and Berman, 1934, 135). However, enough discrepancy existed to warrant taking powder and Weissenberg X-Ray pictures. From these it was evident immediately that the specimen was a new mineral species.
The Synthesis And Pharmacologic Activity Of Some Bis-(2-Aminoethyl)-Benzenes, Ching Chen Tung
The Synthesis And Pharmacologic Activity Of Some Bis-(2-Aminoethyl)-Benzenes, Ching Chen Tung
Doctoral Dissertations
Introduction: The isolation of epinephrine from the medulla of the suprarenal gland and the discovery of its amazing therapeutic effects have stimulated intensive research on the synthesis of compounds possessing the basic skeleton of 2-aminoethyl-benzene. The investigation in the past forty years have culminated in the preparation of a large number of this type of amine which are pharmacologically classified as "sympatho-mimetic" or "pressor" agents because they generally act on the sympathetic nervous system and cause in increase of blood pressure. However, the 2-aminoethylbenzene derivatives most thoroughly studied have been those whose molecules possessed only one aminoethyl side chain per …
Enrichment Of Tin Activity Through The Szilard-Chalmers Separation, Herta W. Spano
Enrichment Of Tin Activity Through The Szilard-Chalmers Separation, Herta W. Spano
Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs
It was the purpose of this investigation to utilize the Szilard-Chalmers reaction in order to prepare tin solutions of high specific activity.
Tetraphenyl tin was chosen for the target compound. It is a white, crystalline solid of excellent thermal stability. No data have been reported in the literature on the rate of exchange between inorganic forms of tin and tetraphenyl tin but it seemed highly probable that this exchange would be very slow. Tetraphenyl tin is soluble in various organic solvents but insoluble in water, and this suggested solvent extraction as a possible means of separation of the activated tin …
An Experimental Investigation Of The Dead Time Of Geiger-Mueller Counters, Peter H. Jessner
An Experimental Investigation Of The Dead Time Of Geiger-Mueller Counters, Peter H. Jessner
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
As ever more sensitive and precise experiments are being performed with Geiger Counters, especially in cosmic ray research, the resolving power of these instruments assumes an ever increasing importance. With the present perfection of electronic circuitry, this resolving time has become largely a function of the dead time of the Geiger counter tube itself. It was therefore proposed to investigate methods of reducing this dead time. Only self-quenching counter tubes had to be considered in this connection since the dead time of all other types of Geiger counters is inherently longer.
A Sensitive Electronic Photometer Employing Negative Feedback, John Lee Pack
A Sensitive Electronic Photometer Employing Negative Feedback, John Lee Pack
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
Purpose of the Instrument
The instrument to be described in these pages was tentatively intended to be used for the purpose of scanning the night sky automatically for investigations of the zodiacal light. It was to detect light below the noise level of a photomultiplier tube, to have linearity up to signals 100 times greater than the noise level, and to have a response time of about 10-4 seconds.
Investigation Of Penetrating Cosmic-Ray Showers In Water, George William Rollosson
Investigation Of Penetrating Cosmic-Ray Showers In Water, George William Rollosson
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
In this investigation, some of the properties of the radiation which produces penetrating showers in its passage through matter are studied. Geiger techniques are used to measure the average distance over which the neutral radiation produces one penetrating shower. This distance, called collision length, is measured in water...
The collision length, on the other hand, is measured by placing the material near the apparatus and measuring the mean distance in which one shower is produced and eliminating from the observation any penetrating showers which may be produced subsequently either (a) by the original particle or (b) by the secondaries from …
The Elastic Scattering Of Deuterons By Deuterons, Richard John Runge
The Elastic Scattering Of Deuterons By Deuterons, Richard John Runge
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The concern of this work is the calculation of elastic scattering of deuterons by deuterons. The solution of the problem will be given in the usual center of mass system of coordinates, the conversion of results from this to the laboratory system being standard. Since the deuteron itself consists of a neutron and a proton, the problem is thus one of four bodies. The nuclear three body problem of the scattering of a neutron by a deuteron has been treated by previous authors and we will have occasion to employ methods used by these authors extending them to the four …
Solubility Product Constants Of The Metallic Sulfides, Marvin Bernard Gordon
Solubility Product Constants Of The Metallic Sulfides, Marvin Bernard Gordon
Theses and Dissertations
A survey of the chemical literature revealed a lack of agreement in the values reported by various investigators for the solubility product constants of the metallic sulfides. The object of this thesis was to obtain a reliable set of solubility product constant values for the metallic sulfides by means of thermodynamic calculations. Of considerable importance in calculating the values of the solubility product constants of the metallic sulfides is the value of the standard free energy of formation of the sulfide ion. A critical review of the values that have been reported by various investigators for this constant , including …
The Peroxide Numbers Of Vegetable Oils, Robert J. Bruce
The Peroxide Numbers Of Vegetable Oils, Robert J. Bruce
Bachelors’ Theses
A survey of the literature will indicate that the peroxide numbers of fats and oils are of importance in ii many industries. The dairy, fish oil, vegetable oil, and meat processing industries all have use for peroxide number determinations. as a measure of the degree of rancidity of their products. The paint industry has used it in the study of protective coatings, and the textile industry has used it in the study of the lubrication of fibers. All of these uses were applied to the study of partial oxidation of the samples under consideration.
Since the various methods in use …
2-Pyrrolidinoethyl Esters Of Para Alkoxybenzoic And Para Alkox Alkoxycinnamic Acids, Michael James Fletcher
2-Pyrrolidinoethyl Esters Of Para Alkoxybenzoic And Para Alkox Alkoxycinnamic Acids, Michael James Fletcher
Master's Theses
One of the most important groups of local anesthetics is the class of alkyl and dialkylaminoalkyl esters of aromatic acids. Of these compounds, the diethylaminoethyl esters are particularly valuable.
It is obvious that pyrrolidine is merely a modified form of diethylamine. The purpose of this work is to learn the effect of substituting the N-pyrrolidyl nucleus for the diethyl amino nucleus in various esters of the local anesthetic type.

Geology Of The Pre-Cambrian Rocks Of The Northern End Of The Sandia Mountains, Bernalillo And Sandoval Counties, New Mexico, Philip T. Hayes
Geology Of The Pre-Cambrian Rocks Of The Northern End Of The Sandia Mountains, Bernalillo And Sandoval Counties, New Mexico, Philip T. Hayes
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
Most of the pre-Cambrian metamorphic rocks of the northern end of the Sandia Mountains crop out on and adjacent to a prominent spur, called the Rincon, which lies to the west of the main mountain mass. These metamorphic rocks which consist of quartzite, schist, and greenstone are considered to be the result of moderate regional metamorphism of clastic sedimentary rocks and possibly some basic flows and stills. These rocks are here tentatively named the Juan Tabo sequence and are Archeozoic or early Proterozoic age. The Sandia granite, which lies to the east and south of the Juan Tabo sequence, was …
Phase Behavior Of Sodium Stearate In Anhydrous Cyclohexane, Walter Edward Reid Jr.
Phase Behavior Of Sodium Stearate In Anhydrous Cyclohexane, Walter Edward Reid Jr.
Master's Theses
Soap solutions, aqueous and non-aqueous, are characteristic in that they firm colloidal systems at certain concentrations, the properties of which are influenced by temperature and pressure. Application of the Gibbs phase rule to such systems makes possible the location of the various phases of a particular system and hence enables phase diagrams to be constructed. For systems of soap-hydrocarbons such as are found in fuels, beauty preparations, greases, medical preparations, etc., a phase diagram would show very readily the most satisfactory composition for the conditions desired.

An Experimental Investigation Of A Light Weight High Voltage Power Supply, James F. Tribby
An Experimental Investigation Of A Light Weight High Voltage Power Supply, James F. Tribby
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
This investigation is directed toward the development and design of an electronic high-voltage power supply. The method consists of obtaining a direct current of low intensity by periodically charging by means of a primary battery a group of capacitors in parallel combination and discharging them electronically in series. A stimulus to this investigation is provided by the need for a light-weight electronic current source operating at moderately high voltages which is stable and capable of maintaining a constant current of low intensity over a wide range of variation of the potential from a primary battery. In addition, a power supply …

A Study Of The Mechanism Of The Reaction Between Styrene And Tung Oil, Rowan Joseph Coyle
Honors Theses
It is the purpose of this thesis to study the possible mechanisms by which styrene may react with tung oil. To this end, styrene is reacted with tung oil, using a peroxide catalyst, the reaction product is separated into its components, and a preliminary analysis of these components is made, in an attempt to determine whether the reaction occurs through a Diels-Alder or a co-polymerization type mechanism.
Electrodeposition Apparatus Employing A Controlled Cathode Potential, Carl Arthur Hirt
Electrodeposition Apparatus Employing A Controlled Cathode Potential, Carl Arthur Hirt
Honors Theses
The present work was undertaken with the idea of building a simple electrodeposition apparatus employing a controlled cathode potential so that quantitative separations and determinations of various cations could be made. When finished the apparatus was to be employed in the investigation of electrochemical problems. However, so many difficulties arose in the construction of the apparatus that there was not time available for this latter work.

This paper describes a prototype of such an instrument. The present photometer is constructed for preliminary investigations to be carried out in the laboratory, but with light weight components used in the design except for the power supply and the main structural frame. Consideration is given to these latter features to the extent that the entire equipment is designed for operation from power sources which can be directly replaced by small …
Microfauna Of The Colorado Shale In The Sunburst Dome Area, Montana, Merle W. Emmert
Microfauna Of The Colorado Shale In The Sunburst Dome Area, Montana, Merle W. Emmert
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
It has been hoped that a micropaleontological study of the shales of the Upper Cretaceous Colorado Group in northern Montana would reveal certain faunal zones which would serve as markers in an otherwise drab, undifferentiated, 1800 feet of grey, fissile shale. This paper presents the results of a study of the microfauna in certain samples from this shale in the Sunburst Dome area north of Shelby, Montana.
The Elkhorn Mine Of Jefferson County, Montana, David D. Walker
The Elkhorn Mine Of Jefferson County, Montana, David D. Walker
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In 1901, after yielding metals valued in excess of five million dollars, it was considered worked out. Since that time the mine has passed through the hands of several owners, none of whom have failed to realize a profit from it. Although at no time since its zenith did it ever regain its once great production, it did provide a livelihood for those who worked it. Now with the American Smelting and Refining Company interested in it, perhaps it will once again become an important producer.
The Synthesis Of 3-Ethyl-9-Acetylphenanthrene, Elizabeth R. Bender
The Synthesis Of 3-Ethyl-9-Acetylphenanthrene, Elizabeth R. Bender
Bachelors’ Theses
In 1929 , there was recognized a relatively small number of naturally occurring phenanthrene compounds as compared with those known today. These compounds include several groups of substances which are as strikingly similar in structure as they are different in their actions on the animal organism. For instance, the structure of the sterols and bile acids contain the perhydrocyclopentenophenanthrene ring system. Upon later research, it was found that the sex hormones and cardiac glycosides (heart poisons secreted by toads) have a structure very similar to this system. They are all derivatives of cyclopentenophenanthrene.
The Variation Problems Of Weierstrass-Bliss And Radon, Douglas M. Gragg
The Variation Problems Of Weierstrass-Bliss And Radon, Douglas M. Gragg
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
Problems of the Calculus of Variations are generalizations of the familiar minimum problems treated in the differential calculus. The relationships between the ordinary minimum problems of the calculus and the generalizations dealt with in the Calculus of Variations is possibly best seen by examining the general Hilbert-Moore minimum problem, and the special examples of such problems formulated in the table below.
The Chemical Characteristics Of 8.0-Day I^131 Produced By The Beta Decay Of 25-Minute Te^131 In Organic Liquids, Francis J. Keneshea Jr.
The Chemical Characteristics Of 8.0-Day I^131 Produced By The Beta Decay Of 25-Minute Te^131 In Organic Liquids, Francis J. Keneshea Jr.
Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs
In 1934 Szilard and Chalmers found that a large fraction of the radioactive iodine produced in the thermal neutron irradiation of ethyl iodide could be extracted from the irradiated material. The procedure followed was to add a trace of carrier iodine to the irradiated liquid, extract the iodine with an aqueous solution of a reducing agent and precipitate the iodide as silver iodide. The silver iodide precipitate obtained in this manner contained a large fraction of the iodine activity (25-minute I128), at a high specific activity. Since ethyl iodide is not soluble in water and hence is not …
