Iron And Cobalt Salts As Catalysts In The Oxidation Of Sodium Sulfite By Free Oxygen, Loren C. Bryner Jan 1930

Iron And Cobalt Salts As Catalysts In The Oxidation Of Sodium Sulfite By Free Oxygen, Loren C. Bryner

Theses and Dissertations

The present investigation was carried out to show the catalytic effect of some iron and cobalt salts on the oxidation of sodium sulfite solutions by free oxygen. The rate of reaction was determined by measuring the volume of water required to replace the absorbed oxygen. A photograph and diagrammatical arrangement of the apparatus is given, (Page 14). From the preliminary experiments it was found that the rate of oxidation of sodium sulfite solutions is dependent upon concentration, and speed of the shaker.


History Of Applied Geometry, Evelyn Jackson Jan 1930

History Of Applied Geometry, Evelyn Jackson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mathematics: Just what does the word mean to us? After a moment of thought many different meanings may present themselves to our minds. At first we are inclined to say that the word mathematics covers a vast field. We are justified in so thinking because mathematics embraces a wide scope of study. Were we to say that it is a science we should place it in its proper genius, for it is truly a science of numbers and space. However, could not the science be the art of calculation or the art of computation?

A Measurement Of The Extent Of The Color-Sensitive Areas Of The Retina And Of The Wavelengths Of Light Stimulating The Respective Receptor Mechanisms, Charles A. Rinde Jan 1930

A Measurement Of The Extent Of The Color-Sensitive Areas Of The Retina And Of The Wavelengths Of Light Stimulating The Respective Receptor Mechanisms, Charles A. Rinde

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The interest of the writer was directed toward the phenomena of color vision in 1927 as a result of attending concurrently two courses in the University of California touching upon the subject, but treating it quite differently with results far from mutually consistent. Prof. R. S. Minor, in his course on physical optics, discussed color vision from the physicist’s standpoint, making use of the Young-Helmholtz theory; while Prof. G. M. Stratton gave the psychological treatment, based upon the Ladd-Franklin theory, as a part of his general psychology. Several of the more obviously points of conflict impressed the writer so strongly …


Revision Of The Jefferson City Formation In The Rolla Quadrangle, James Shelley Cullison Jan 1930

Revision Of The Jefferson City Formation In The Rolla Quadrangle, James Shelley Cullison

Masters Theses

"The geology of the Rolla quadrangle was mapped by Lee in 1912. At that time all the dolomitic strata above the Roubidoux and beneath the Carboniferous formations in this area were placed in the Jefferson City. A more detailed study of the stratigraphy of the whole Ozark region by Ulrich has shown that some of the strata which had been included in the Jefferson City formation on lithologic grounds are not equivalent to the dolomites in the type section at Jefferson City, Missouri"--Introduction, page [1].


A Syllabus Of Line Geometry, Alice Willmarth Jan 1930

A Syllabus Of Line Geometry, Alice Willmarth

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the study of advanced geometry, we shall deal with a certain important relation between pairs of figures in space, and also between their properties. There are two distinct parts to analytic geometry, the analytic work and the geometric interpretation. Two systems of geometry, depending upon different elements with the same number of coordinates, will have the same analytic expressions and will differ only in the interpretation of the analysis. In such a case it is often sufficient to know the meaning of the coordination and the interpretation of a few fundamental relations in each system in order to find …

The Mandible Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour Dec 1929

The Mandible Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The type specimen of the genus Amebelodon is installed in the Nebraska State Museum, the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. It consists of a mandible with tusks and teeth, all of which are dense and perfect, barring minor cracks and breaks. One toe bone and part of a rib found associated with this mandible may belong to this animal. It was discovered by Mr. A. S. Keith on his farm near Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska; was secured for the palaeontological collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill by Mr. Phillip Orr, April 4, 1927; was briefly described and figured in a Museum …


Faraday's Laws Of Electrolysis, M. Aquinas Dec 1929

Faraday's Laws Of Electrolysis, M. Aquinas

Bachelors’ Theses

Physics has no equal, perhaps, in bringing the student to an appreciation of the beauty, the order and the harmony or the universe, and thus drawing the heart and the mind to God whose unbounded powers executed the eternal and marvelous wonders that are all about us.

It is intensely fascinating to take peeps into the "laboratories of God" and wonder what will be the next secret that He will let man in on. It seems as the ages roll by He gradually allows us to share more and more in His secrets or nature; He appears to be slowly …


The Quantitative Analysis Of Sodium Acetate, Henry A. Budzinski Aug 1929

The Quantitative Analysis Of Sodium Acetate, Henry A. Budzinski

Bachelors’ Theses

There are many methods by which Sodium Acetate can be analysed for its purity. Each method is satisfactory and the results obtained vary only slightly. However, this essay is for the purpose of determining the method which is most suitable for all conditions, and setting this method as a standard.


Scholasticism An Intellectual Basis And Unifying Principle Of Modern Science, Alice V. Johnson Jul 1929

Scholasticism An Intellectual Basis And Unifying Principle Of Modern Science, Alice V. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Amid the almost uninterrupted disintegration of systems during the last three centuries, the philosophy of St. Thomas has alone been able to stand the shock of criticism; it alone has proved sufficiently solid and comprehensive to serve as an intellectual basis and unifying principle for all the new facts and phenomena brought to light by modern science.


The Chromite Deposits Of Stillwater And Sweetgrass Counties, Montana, Uuno Sahinen Jun 1929

The Chromite Deposits Of Stillwater And Sweetgrass Counties, Montana, Uuno Sahinen

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In writing this report, two objects were kept in mind, (1) to explain, if possible, the origin of the chromite deposits found in Sweetgrass and Stillwater Counties, and (2) to bring up to date all information on these deposits which had thus far been available.

The work done consisted of study of the rocks and ores of the area under the microscope, both as thin sections and as polished sections, practically all of which was done at the Montana State School of Mines, during the school year of 1928 - 1929.

The rock specimens and much information as to their …


The Cycloid, Some Related Curves And Their Derivation, Ann Downer Jun 1929

The Cycloid, Some Related Curves And Their Derivation, Ann Downer

Bachelors’ Theses

In studying the history of the cycloid and the related curves, it is interesting to note that the earliest notations and explanations were given not by a mathematician but by an artist. The description and instrumental construction of the epicycloid curve was presented in about 1525 by Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) a celebrated sculptor and painter of Nurnberg in his book "Underweysund der Messung mit dem Zyrkenund Rychtsceyd." The original idea, however, goes as far back as the time of Hipparchus, an astronomer, who used it in his astronomical theory of epicycles. This curve was now neglected until G. Desargues and …


The Study Of The Curves Of The Equations Having The Type Form X^N + Y^N = A^N, Lena S. Reif Jun 1929

The Study Of The Curves Of The Equations Having The Type Form X^N + Y^N = A^N, Lena S. Reif

Bachelors’ Theses

The object of this thesis is to determine the general properties of the family of curves, x^n + y^n = a^n from some of the specific curves in that family. The first curve to be considered is the one in which a = 4 and n =1. x+y = 4


Studies In The Magnetic Rotation Of The Plane Of Polarized Light, Richard J. Stollenwerk, Clifford R. Haymaker Jun 1929

Studies In The Magnetic Rotation Of The Plane Of Polarized Light, Richard J. Stollenwerk, Clifford R. Haymaker

Bachelors’ Theses

Before entering upon a discussion of the historical development of the subject of magnetic rotation, it may be well to explain briefly the nature of the phenomenon under investigation. According to the wave theory of light, the rays from any ordinary light source vibrate in every conceivable plane. If now the light is reflected from a glass surface or passed through a Nicol prism, it undergoes a change. If an attempt is made to pass the beam through a second Nicol prism, it is found that the optical axes of the two prisms must be parallel to one another or …


The Constant Of Torsion Of A Given Wire, Ella M. Blunk Jun 1929

The Constant Of Torsion Of A Given Wire, Ella M. Blunk

Bachelors’ Theses

"Using a given wire, the value of n determined dynamically is generally somewhat larger than the value determined by statical method. This is due partly to the fact that a wire, under the action of a torque, does not at once acquire its final twist. The twist increases under the application of a constant torque; and therefore, during a brief application of the torque (for example, during an oscillation of heavy body attached to the wire) the torque per unit twist has larger value than when the torque is applied for a long time. " Edwin Edser

The purpose of …
