Public Water Supplies Of New Mexico, Kenneth F. Priest

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Distribution of population in State. The estimated population for the State of New Mexico for the year 1930 was 423,300. A close observation of the population centers shows them to be scattered over a wide range of territory. The largest city, Albuquerque, has approximately 26,000 citizens. The next sites, according to the 1930 count, are three in number, Santa Fe, Roswell, and Clovis. The remaining population including rural districts do not number over eight thousand people.

A Chemical And Biological Study Of The Waters Of Elephant Butte Reservoir As Related To Fish Culture, John Greenbank

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The investigation of fresh-water lakes with respect to fish and other aquatic life had its beginning in Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Probably the only man who may be considered to be the founder of the science of limnology was F. A. Forel, of the University of Lausanne Switzerland. Professor Forel’s work was the start of a rapidly developing branch of study, not only in Europe, but also presently in North America.

The Particle Size Of Emulsions Prepared With Pure And Commercial Egg Yolk, August Carl Siefert

Bachelors’ Theses

Emulsions are undoubtedly among the most useful preparations which man can make, and their application in industry, pharmacy, and cooking is wide and varied. We are all familiar with mayonnaise in which and emulsion of olive oil is obtained with the use of egg yolk as an emulsifying agent. Egg yolk itself is one of Nature's very best emulsions, as is milk which is both a colloid and an emulsion.

This thesis is concerned in particular with the application of emulsions in the tanning industry, where oil is applied to leather in the form of an emulsion to make it …

A Study Of The Gelation Of Several Paraffins In Various Solutions, Joseph John Wocasek

Bachelors’ Theses

In the selection of various waxes for commercial use, it has long been the custom to depend solely upon melting-point for property determination. Thus, for example, all paraffin waxes which had a melting range between 50 and 65 degrees centigrade, were thought to have much the same properties and that any or the commercial paraffins of this range would therefore impart the same characteristics to the product in which they were to be used. But with increased use, these waxes have come under more careful observation and experimentation. Very little data has as yet been released for publication but already …

These were kindly furnished by the analytical department of the International Harvester Company to whom I am grateful.

For the history of nickel I am especially indebted to the account by Robert c. Stanley, President of the Inter­national Nickel Company, reproduced in Wilhelm's, The Book of Metals.

For the material on the …

A Comparison Between The Percent Of Maltose Sugar In The Malt Wort And The Characteristics Of The Malt, William Black

Bachelors’ Theses

Interest in this problem was brought about through working with malt in a malting laboratory. The curiosity of the author prompted research along the lines herein explained and a correlation between the amount of maltose in a malt wort and other variable factors explained in the following chapters was sought.

There has been a great deal of work done in the malting field which adapts itself readily to organic research. The chemistry of malt and malt products has arrived at a state where regular standard analysis can be applied. However, the research possibilities are practically unlimited and this work done …

The Preparation And Properties Of Diphenylthiocarbazone, Floyd C. Mcintire

Theses and Dissertations

At present the chemical literature offers no method for the preparation of diphenylthiocarbazone, or dithizone, sufficiently detailed to guide the average laboratory technician in an economical and successful preparation of this compound. The high price of dithizone and the limited number of dispensers of it emphasize the need of such a method. The original research reported in this thesis was done primarily in an attempt to formulate a satisfactory detailed method for the preparation of dithizone. The suggestions of Emil Fischer were followed and an attampt was made to improve his outline and to note the possible errors so that …

A Study Of Methods For The Recovery Of Silver, Bromine, Iodine, And Sodium Thiosulfate From Used Photographic Fixing Baths, Leroy Agustave Bay

Masters Theses

"Sodium thiosulfate was one of the pioneer reagents used in photography, and is still the most important reagent used in photographic fixing. The solubility of the silver halides in an excess of sodium thiosulfate makes it important as a reagent for removing the undeveloped silver halides from the film. The life of a fixing bath is controlled by the halogen content. As the ratio of halogens to sodium thiosulfate is increased, the time required for fixing is also increased until the ratio reaches such a point that fogging of the film results. Most of the solutions are discarded long before …

Pyrochemical Changes In Missouri Halloysite, Frank Joseph Zvanut

Doctoral Dissertations

"For centuries it has been known that the application of heat to a clay or a clay body produces changes that make it an entirely different substance from the original raw clay. Ever since the earliest civilizations produced crude building brick by baking formed clay bodies in the sun's rays, mankind has been speculating on the nature of the changes that convert soft, friable, plastic clays into hard, strong, non-plastic, rock-like masses. It has been only within the last two decades, however, that progress has been made in the solution of problems dealing with the resultant products in fired clay …

A Study Of The Decomposition Potentials Of A Commercial Gluconic Acid Bath, Roman L. Pozorski

Bachelors’ Theses

The study of electrochemistry is not only fascinating and worthwhile, but essential to the student of chemistry in the understanding of many theories and chemical phenomena. Though electrochemistry is still in its infancy, numerous substances are prepared electrolytically in industry. It is reported that about 15% of all the chemical goods manufactured are prepared by electrochemical industries. Of the various types of studies, in electrochemistry, the one which appears to be most appealing is the analysis of chemical reaction sin which electrochemical methods are used. The determination of decomposition potentials is one of these methods. A knowledge of decomposition values …

The Vitamin D And Provitamin D Content Of Some Varieties Of Utah Wheat, Harold M. Nielsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Cereal grains were known to be notably deficient in the anti-rachitic principle even before the discovery of vitamin D. Clinicians had associated a type of rickets of infancy, characterized by an over-weight, flabby, bowlegged condition, with a diet consisting mainly of cereals. Mellanby (1) in 1921 concluded that this type of rickets is induced by overfeeding with carbohydrates. He also showed in the same report, however, that oatmeal, although it contains less carbohydrates than the other grains tested, possesses a special tendency toward rachitogenesis.
