The Electro Deposition Of Lead In Sugar And Acetate Solutions, Abe Lew Kaplan Jan 1915

The Electro Deposition Of Lead In Sugar And Acetate Solutions, Abe Lew Kaplan

Bachelors Theses

"The experiments, while hardly sufficiently numerous, seemed to indicate that sugars do not have a good effect on cathodic lead deposits"--Conclusion, page 14.


A Phenomenon Of The Kansan Drift In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Nov 1914

A Phenomenon Of The Kansan Drift In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Among the minor phenomena of the glacial drift in Nebraska there is one which, though rarely observed by the public, is of interest and should be commended to the attention of naturalists. The reference here is to certain large, well-defined masses or blocks of such materials as sand, gravel, and coarse pebbles, which occur imbedded in the drift clays along with glacial bowlders, and which presumably have been similarly transported and deposited. These masses or blocks vary widely in color, texture, and kind. They also vary from the glacial matrix in which they are found and are the more striking …

The Storage And Use Of Soil Moisture. Report Of Experimental Substation, North Platte, Nebraska, W. W. Burr Jul 1914

The Storage And Use Of Soil Moisture. Report Of Experimental Substation, North Platte, Nebraska, W. W. Burr

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The profitable cultivation of the non-irrigable lands in west central and western Nebraska is limited by the amount and efficient use of the precipitation. There are tracts of land in the sand hills and minor tracts of badly worn heavier soils where the need of soil fertility is becoming evident. But, in the main, the great problem at present is not one of soil fertility, but of how to get enough water to make use of the fertility now present. The rainfall of this section, which varies from an actual shortage to seldom more than a meager sufficiency, makes it …


Bulletin No. 134 - The Nitric Nitrogen Content In The Country Rock, Robert Stewart, William Peterson Jun 1914

Bulletin No. 134 - The Nitric Nitrogen Content In The Country Rock, Robert Stewart, William Peterson

UAES Bulletins

In many arid sections of Western America there have been reported marked accumulations of nitrates in the cultivated soil. Hilgard,(1) who was the first to observe these accumulations, believed that the nitrates are being formed at the present time by the rapid nitrification of the organic matter contained in the soil. In Colorado there has been considerable trouble with orchards dying; the death of the trees in some cases has been attributed to the excessive accumulations of nitrates in the cultivated soil. These accumulations are due, according to Dr. Headden,(2) to the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by bacteria now at …

Chemistry Honors Papers

This 22 page thesis is a record of work done during the summer of 1910, by Dr. W. H. Stoner, and during the summer of 1912 and the spring of 1914, by the writer, in the Chemical Laboratory of the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia.


Iii. Phase Change By Reflection – Primarily In The Ultra-Violet, Oliver Gish Apr 1914

Iii. Phase Change By Reflection – Primarily In The Ultra-Violet, Oliver Gish

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

The first quantitative investigation of absolute phase change was made by Quinckel in 1872. This was followed by that of Wernicke, Wiener, Glan, Hennig, Drude, Koenigsberger and Bender. All these investigations were confined to the visible spectrum except that of Koenigsberger and Bender, who, in addition, measured for a few substances the phase change in the infra-red. So far no measurements of this phenomenon have been made in the ultra-violet.


A Comparison Of Missouri Sandstones, Llewelyn Lodwick Jan 1914

A Comparison Of Missouri Sandstones, Llewelyn Lodwick

Bachelors Theses

"Because of the scarcity of fossils in sandstones, the ages of these stones are difficult to determine except by the fossil bearing rocks either above or below them. Consequently, sandstones, even of the same area, are often separated and correlated with difficulty. It is for this reason that an effort is made to determine a means by which each sandstone may be identified"--Introduction, page 1.

Plant Tissue In The Carboniferous Shales Of Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour Jan 1914

Plant Tissue In The Carboniferous Shales Of Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

While exploring the newly discovered Eurypterid beds,1 just one mile south of Peru, Nebraska. November 8, 1912, the writer found unusual amounts of actual plant tissue of Carboniferous age. It seems incredible that it should have been preserved through such a lapse of time. Only the most resistant tissue could have endured. When freshly cleaved, the Eurypterid shales reveal innumerable bits and patches of it, mostly bright red in color.

A New Longisrostral Mastodon From Cherry County, Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour Jan 1914

A New Longisrostral Mastodon From Cherry County, Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

During the season of 1914, field work in the fossil regions was pushed less vigorously than usual owing to lack of funds. Nevertheless some interesting and valuable material was obtained by the Nebraska Geological Survey, notably the great mandible of a new longirostral mastodon from Cherry County, together with associated tusk and bones.


Notice Of Jelly Fishes In The Carboniferous Of Nebraska, Medusina Walcotti, Erwin H. Barbour Jan 1914

Notice Of Jelly Fishes In The Carboniferous Of Nebraska, Medusina Walcotti, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

In visiting the quarries of the State, certain quadripartite objects suggesting the form of jelly fishes have long attracted the writer's attention. They are large and coarse, and were assumed to be imitative concretions. However, the total number observed seems to strengthen the probability that they are of organic origin. In the fall of 1913, while conducting a field class through the Burlington Quarries, located about two miles northwest of South Bend, they were noted again in a new locality, and three specimens were obtained. Two of these were unusual examples, and showed sufficient structure to identify them with the …
