A Study Of Cholesterol And Lecithin Blood Levels In Rh Sensitized Women Treated With Rh Hapten, Franklyn Lewis

Masters Theses

The Problem And Its Background

Introduction

Perhaps one of the most popular subjects, and a subject which has been discussed a great deal by the layman is that of Rh and Rh incompatibilities.

Landsteiner¹ discovered the Rh property of human blood by means of immune sera prepared with the blood of rhesus monkeys. He was assisted in this work by Wiener², who states that the Rh property was found to be present in about 85% of white individuals, and independent of the blood groups and M-N type. It is these individuals who are referred to as Rh …

The Isomer Distribution In The Sulfonation Of Iodobenzene, Joseph A. Knight

Theses and Dissertations

Using the isotope dilution technique, the distribution of isomers was determined when iodobenzene was sulfonated with sulfur trioxide in liquid sulfur dioxide. The active isotope was S^35. Before this distribution could be established, it was necessary to prepare the pure isomers of iodobenzenesulfonic acid. These were prepared by diazotization of the corresponding aminobenzenesulfonic acids. Since o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid was not readily available, it was necessary that it be synthesized before the diazo reactions could be carried out. Considerable work has been done on the development of a method whereby the bromobenzenesulfonic acids could be synthesized and obtained in pure form. Some …

A Study Of Current Noise In Cokes, Carbons, And Graphites, Robert J. Lanter

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

This study shows that current noise occurs when there is a deviation of Ohm's Law, i.e., when the applied voltage and resultant current are no longer proportional. Since most, and perhaps all, cases of occurrence of frequency and current dependent noise are associated with non-linear devices, e.g., semiconductors, diodes, vacuum tubes, insulators near breakdown, it seems reasonable to seek a mechanism involving non-linearity as an important feature. Even though it may not be justifiable to seek a single mechanism to explain all of the occurrences of current noise, nevertheless, the fact that in cases studied and discussed herein …

A Cloud Chamber Study Of Penetrating Showers In Aluminum, Copper And Lead, James Francis Kenney

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

In recent years, much work has been done in the investigation of high-energy nuclear collisions in various materials. The purpose of these investigations is to gain a better understanding of nucleon-meson-nucleon interactions at high energies. Laboratory accelerating devices are capable at the present time of attaining energies which are still very low in comparison to the upper limit of the cosmic radiation energy spectrum. As a result, these investigations are best carried out by using the very hard component of the cosmic radition as the primary particle of the collision.

The Chemical Behavior Of Iodine At Tracer Concentrations, Henry Morris Eiland

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Radiochemistry was introduced as a separate branch of chemistry by Pierre and Marie Curie in 1898. The first radiochemical process consisted of the separation and identification of the new element Polonium from the uranium ores pitchblende and chalcalite. It is significant that this process involved an amount of material so small that it could be detected only by its intense radioactivity. In the last half-century radiochemistry has developed into a field of ever increasing diversification.

A Chemical Ozone Measuring Radio Sonde, Alan W. Peterson

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

The Vertical distribution of atmospheric ozone has been determined spectroscopically either from surface observations or from balloon-borne spectrographs sent aloft. These spectrographic techniques have several disadvantages. Surface observations of the "Umkehr Effect" give only a rough distribution, four or five points for the entire atmosphere.

A Pulse Length Analyzer, Paul Scheie

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

For experiments involving small scintillators and for experiments involving scintillator telescopes, the circuitry may closely resemble that used with geiger counters. However, if it is desired to make use of the variation in the signal amplitude in a large scintillator, some means must be found to deal with a wide range of amplitudes. The scintillator employed in the experiment to which this work relates is a tank 10 feet in diameter that contains 300 gallons of activated toluene; light of the scintillations is collected by a 16 inch photo-multiplier tube that is located on top of the tank.

A Study Of The Charles-Mission Canyon Contact, David H. Dahlem

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This study is an attempt to define criteria for picking the Charles-Mission Canyon contact from well-cuttings logs, electric logs and radio-active logs; and all findings are discussed, whether positive or negative. Correlation by electric log was successful from the Cut Bank area to the Cedar Creek anticline but sample logs from the same wells do not agree. The conclusions reached is the point to the unreliability of the sample logs based on well-outtings data.

A Study Of The Geology Of The Mount Humbug Area, Highland Mountains, Montana, Robert Grant Garwood, Charles Wray Hanna

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This report presents a study of the phosphate bed and the associated sediments in the Mount Humbug area which embraces the southern half of T. 1 N., R. & W., and the northern half of T. 1 S., R. 9 W., and the northeast quarter of T. 1 S., R. 9 W. The object of this investigation was to examine and identify the metamorphosed sediments, the surrounding igneous rocks, and the terrace and fluvial deposits of the area.

The Enzymatic Synthesis And Disproportionation Of Galactosyl Oligosaccharides, Carl L. Tipton

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

It was the purpose of this experiment to obtain unequivocal evidence for the suggested structures of the new oligosaccharides and to obtain evidence in support of the transgalactosylation mechanism of action of the enzyme studied.

Five of the galactosyl oligosaccharides produced during the hydrolysis of lactose by an enzyme prepared from Saccharomyces fragilis have been isolated in chromatographically pure form.The three having the highest chromatographic mobilities have been shown to be 3-0-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucose, 6-0-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucose and 6-0-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-galactose.The positions of the glycosidic linkages in these compounds were determined by use of the lead tetra-acetate oxidation procedure.These three disaccharides have been characterized by measurement …

A Differential Counting Rate Meter For Low Counting Rates, James J. Schmidt

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

A counting rate meter was constructed after a circuit suggested by Harald Trefall, with a power supply after Elmore.The instrument was tested and proved quite stable after operating for several weeks.The response of the instrument was calculated and the experimental results verified the calculations.Methods of calibration and operation of the instrument were developed to obtain the full benefit of its design.A set of calibration curves was obtained from the counting rate meter and a suggestion for their use in interpreting the output was made.

The research resulted in the construction of an instrument with the following specifications:

A Study Of The Density And Molecular Species Of Polonium And Tellurium Vapor, Angelo L. Giorgi

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the nature of the species of polonium and tellurium in equilibrium in the vapor phase at temperatures ranging from 422 degrees to 1013 degrees C. for polonium and from 512 degrees to 880 degrees C. for tellurium. Such information was based on measurements of the variation of vapor pressure and vapor density with temperature. The results of this investigation suggest that both polonium and tellurium exist as diatomic molecules in the vapor phase over the aforementioned temperature ranges.
