A Study Of Methods Of Determining The Rate Of Acid Hydrolysis Of Wheat Gluten, Angus V. Honrickson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Because of the nutritious value of sodium glutamate and its meat-like flavor, which is very pleasing to most people, and hence its demand if it were properly promoted, and because of the abundance of protein in accessible form for its manufacture, it is only reasonable to assume that if the optimum conditions of protein hydrolysis were found, the manufacturing could be made a highly successful enterprise. it was the purpose of this research to investigate the methods by which the hydrolysis of wheat glutes can do conveniently followed in order to determine the efficiency of reactions run under specific conditions.

A Study Of The Products Of The Reaction Between Stannous And Arsenate Ions In Silicic Acid Gels, Frank K. Thompson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The fact that characteristic crystalline products result upon the diffusion of arsenate ions into silicic acid gel which has been impregnated with stannous ions has been known by the Pacific Chemistry Department for some time. The optimum conditions with regards to heat and hydrogen ion concentration have been determined. The purpose of this investigation was to study the products of the reaction. First to determine whether or not the silicic acid itself combined with the stannous and arsenate. ions in the formation of the crystalline product, and second to determine its chemical composition.

The Solution Of Ordinary & Partial Differential Equations In Series, Kenneth Wood

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this thesis is to compile and discuss some of the methods of solution of both ordinary and partial differential equations, whose solutions are expressible in the form of a series. An exhaustive study is not attempted. A few of the methods of most common occurrence for finding solutions in series are discussed and examples illustrating these methods are presented.

Analysis Of Errors Made By 717 Collge Students In Arithmetic, O.D. Barnes

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

During the greater part of the elementary-school training of the average American child he receives a large amount of instruction and drill in arithmetic. In the high school he suddenly drops arithmetic except as he maintains practices in courses of science or high school mathematics and except as the transactions of every day life involve arithmetic. In college the individual may suddenly find that the amount of arithmetical knowledge required is not small as in physics, chemistry or certain commercial courses. Evidence exists to indicate that students doing poor work in these courses are often found deficient in arithmetic.

The Effect Of Sodium Fluoride On The Bright Plating Range Of Chromium, Ernst Curschmann

Bachelors’ Theses

Chromium is used very extensively at the present time as an exterior plate over other metals. It has found favor not only because of its brilliant blue, untarnishable lustre, but also because of its extreme hardness. The great increase in the demand for chromium plate in recent years, rapidly relegating nickel plate into the background, has resulted in increased research and experimentation .in the field of chromium plating, in the endeavor to provide a lasting, beautiful plate at a minimum of expense.

Present chromium plating baths containing sulphuric acid as the active agent of deposition leave much to be desired …

E, Doyle K. Brooks

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The meteoric splendor of the transcendental constant e is an intriguing mystery. It rises unexpectedly from nowhere, brilliantly illuminates some obscure mathematical concept, points to its solution, and abruptly fades into oblivion. Its unheralded visitation leaves the student wiser but wondering, tantalized by its omnipotence in apparently unrelated fields. Ever since his first introduction to e in elementary logarithms it has seemed to the writer that all the authors of textbooks are in a conspiracy to defeat any real knowledge of e. They say "2.71828… , called e, is the base of Naperian logarithms." Why? "The derivative of eX is …

An Investigation Of The Methods Used In The Preparation Of Acid Amides, Everett Stats

Bachelors’ Theses

Much work has been done on the preparation of acid amides, but there are few sources where one may find the methods tabulated. It has been the purpose of this Thesis, therefore, to try out various methods and conditions for the preparation of the aliphatic and aromatic amides and to record them.

A Comparison Of The Caffeine Content Of Various Coffees, Emil J. Petrusek

Bachelors’ Theses

Coffee must be rated as one of the most important commodities in the commercial world due to the statistics or output and consumption. There are various brands and kinds of coffee produced by the different growers and roasters. Now to sell the brands, the various concerns base their advertising upon the flavor and price of the coffee. It is a fact that the flavor of coffee is in some way affected by the caffeine present. One popular brand is advertised as decaffeinated, that is, the caffeine has been removed. Confronted with these facts, it occurred to the author to test …

Selenium In Proteins From Toxic Foodstuffs, Edgar Page Painter

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The importance of the selenium problem has been established. Knight (1) in an address before The Association of Official Agricultural Chemists summarized the progress made on the problem, conservatively emphasized its importance, and stressed the need for extensive research. It is a paramount problem not only in South Dakota, but in many other states as well.

Some Contributions To Iodometric Technique, Justin Kimber Dyche

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Analysis is a very important branch of chemistry, for it is such a practical part of the science. Analysis is itself divided into two parts. Qualitative analysis discovers what things are present in the material in question. Quantitative analysis then determines how much of each ingredient is present. This thesis considers a limited section of quantitative analysis.

This thesis deals with the use of iodine in volumetric analysis, which is called either iodimetry or iodometry. In this type of analysis, the iodine is used in solution and reacts with some other material, also in solution, and takes up electrons. That …

Pre-Pennsylvanian Stratigraphy Of Nebraska, Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Sioux quartzite, granite, and schistose metamorphic rocks have been recognized in the pre-Cambrian. The present irregularities, the "basins and highs," on the pre- Cambrian surface are the result of erosion and a long structural history. In general succeedingly younger rocks rest unconformably by overlap against the pre-Cambrian "highs." The principal erosional and structural "highs" are: the "Nemaha mountains," the Cambridge anticline, the Chadron dome, and the Sioux Falls area. "Basins," or saddle-like depressions, occur on the pre-Cambrian surface between the "highs." The largest of these trends from southeast to northwest across the central part of Nebraska. The history of each …
