Two Newly Discovered Conifers, George F. Beck Apr 1944

Two Newly Discovered Conifers, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Two genera of coniferous wood, apparently not listed among the Tertiary woods of the western states, have been recognized in the Percy Train collections from Rainbow Ridge, northwestern Nevada. These two, Tsuga (hemlock) and Chamaecyparis (cedar) bring up to 14 the genera of coniferous wood more or less certainly identified from the period and area in question.


Status Of Tertiary Woods Of The Western States Representing The Juglandaceae, George F. Beck Apr 1944

Status Of Tertiary Woods Of The Western States Representing The Juglandaceae, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

For many years there has been uncertainty concerning the generic status of some fossil leaves belonging without question to the walnut family as a whole. A review of the woods of Juglandaceae as they have appeared in Tertiary horizons of the western states has suggested which genera are present, and in what proportions their leaves (or other remains) might be expected to appear.

A Study Of Certain Substitution Groups, Merle Mitchell Apr 1943

A Study Of Certain Substitution Groups, Merle Mitchell

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

This thesis purposes to study a certain group of movements which can be expressed as substitutions. The groups of movements which send a square into itself is to be studied as a group of eight substitutions on the vertices for the purpose of leading up to the real problem of this paper. From the octic group, it is natural to proceed to a study of the movements which send a cube into itself. In particular, it is the aim of this thesis to discover the group of the cube and to analyze some of its properties. There are twenty-eight rotations …

A Study Of The Electrolytic Reduction Of Pyrrole, Don Richard Strehlau Jan 1942

A Study Of The Electrolytic Reduction Of Pyrrole, Don Richard Strehlau

Masters Theses

"A review of the chemical literature has shown that electro-organic methods compare favorably with purely chemical methods for certain syntheses belonging to the following general classes of reactions: coupling, oxidation, reactions with halogens, and reductions. Electro-organic methods have been used most successfully in synthesis by reduction. The chief advantage is using electrolytic reduction in preference to a chemical one is that it offers a more exact control of conditions, and consequently should give a higher yield and a purer product. The advantages of the means of reduction suggested an investigation of its use in the synthesis of hydrogenated products of …

The Conversion Of Certain Amino Acids To Carbohydrate In Normal Animals, Bergere Alfred Kenney Jun 1941

The Conversion Of Certain Amino Acids To Carbohydrate In Normal Animals, Bergere Alfred Kenney

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Among the earliest problems which interested the physiological chemist was that of the possibility of an interconversion of the major types of food-stuffs. That this conversion actually does take place in the case of carbohydrates changing to fats has been apparent, ever since Man began to fatten his domestic animals on a starchy diet. However, interconversion of the other types, such as that of fats to carbohydrates and proteins, or carbohydrates to proteins, and of proteins to carbohydrates and fats, is not so obvious, and even now, after many years of experimen­tation, the answer to the question is far from …


Studies Arising From A Problem In The Calculus Of Variations, John Gonzalez Jun 1941

Studies Arising From A Problem In The Calculus Of Variations, John Gonzalez

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

In mathematics, generalization is progress; so much so that oftentimes one loses sight of the fact that generalization is the result of arduous work in the consideration of the particular. In no other branch of mathematics is this better exemplified than in the Calculus of Variations. The beginning of a systematic development of the theory of the Calculus of Variations really started with the two Bernoulli brothers (1654-1748) in their discussion of the brachistochrone problem in 1696. The method devised by them were sufficiently powerful in the attack of a large number of problems. Euler (1707-85) further elaborated the geometrical …


Pegmatites In Southwestern Montana, Ora Rostad May 1941

Pegmatites In Southwestern Montana, Ora Rostad

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Little has been written on pegmatites in Montana except in conjunction with reports on mining districts. This subject was chosen as a senior thesis to see what facts could be ascertained re­garding pegmatites alone, and an attempt has been made by the writer to assemble all written material on pegmatites in southwestern Montana, and to study specimens from those that could be reached or from which specimens were available.

Concrete And Cement Surface Coatings, Gabriel J. Popovich May 1941

Concrete And Cement Surface Coatings, Gabriel J. Popovich

Bachelors’ Theses

It has been with difficulty that precise information of any kind regarding the surface coating of concrete and cement finishes had been found. In fact, there was limited information to be found after 1930. Having but a short time to conduct any research, it was impossible to delve too deeply into this branch of the thesis. It is sincerely hoped that in the very near future a more thorough, extensive and comprehensive study can be made on this subject. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the best composition of concrete and the best surface coating for it and …

A Generating Voltmeter Of Wide Sensitivity Range For Measuring Atmospheric Potential Gradients, Herschel Roy Snodgrass May 1941

A Generating Voltmeter Of Wide Sensitivity Range For Measuring Atmospheric Potential Gradients, Herschel Roy Snodgrass

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

The specific need for the present instrument arose out of a consideration of the significant results that might be obtained through a coordination of reliable data on potential gradients under various cloud formations with the accompanying fast motion cloud photographs. The characteristics most desired were: (1) the continuous measurement of both the magnitude and polarity of the surface potential gradients over a wide range of values, from normal fair weather gradients of 0 to +300 volts per meter to thunderstorm gradients, possibly as high as 200,000 volts per meter; (2) easy portability; (3) resistance to harmful effects from rain, dust, …

Studies On The Quantitative Analysis Of Rhenium And Its Occurrence In The Products Of Molybdenite Processing, Walter Keith Dean Jan 1941

Studies On The Quantitative Analysis Of Rhenium And Its Occurrence In The Products Of Molybdenite Processing, Walter Keith Dean

Masters Theses

"There is at the present time no commercially developed source of the metal rhenium in the United States. Since this metal is known to exist in molybdenite, it was felt that a study of the products of the metallurgical processing of this mineral might reveal a source of rhenium that could e developed. The Climax Molybdenum Co. provided a number of samples from their smelter at Langloth, Pennsylvania. Although an improved method for the quantitative estimation of rhenium was recently published, its accuracy was not high and the procedure exacting and time-consuming. These combined factors led to the selection of …
