The ethyl-alcohol-xylol series produces a hardening and shrinking of the tissues. It has long been criticized for this reason.

Corona Discharge From Antenna Wire: A First Partial Report, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Purpose: 1. To examine the conditions for corona at the surface of a wire. This report is a theoretical discussion. No test procedure was used.

Conclusions:
1. Calculation of the gradient at the surface of the fixed-wire liaison antenna (bare copperweld, .040" diameter) on the B-17 airplane indicates that it is of the order of 200 times the gradient measured at the top generating voltmeter.
2. Further work will be done by the Special Devices Branch in an attempt to determine the conditions under which insulated wire goes into corona.

Methods Of Determining Porosity And Spatter Losses Of Arc Welds, Campbell W. F. Funk

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The original objective of this project was to determine the effect of varying current intensity and electrode coating composition upon the spatter losses and porosity of arc welds made by alternating current. This subject was suggested by the Welding Research Council of the Engineering Foundation, which is a clearing house for welding research in order to avoid du­plication of work.

An Attempt To Increase The Permeability And Porosity Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand By Treatment With Various Reagents, Donald H. Johnson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation was to attempt to find some means of increasing the effective porosity and permeabil­ity of the producing sands of the Cut Bank Oil Field, with the hope that thereby the ultimate recovery of petroleum from this field may be increased. Although the percentage increase in production thus effected would undoubtedly be small, it would represent a substantial volume of petroleum in view of the great quantity of oil and gas present in this field.

A Cytolocical Study Of The 4th Chromosome Of Eyeless Drosophila, Joyce Ruth Soelch

Bachelors’ Theses

In Drosophila Melanogaster the recessive gene for eyeless and its normal allelomorph, which cause in general a redaction of the size of the eye in the adult fly, are situated in the small 4th chromosome. The purpose of this experiment was to make a Cyto- logical study and comparison of the 4th chromosomes of the eyeless Drosophila and the normal plus or wild type to determine whether this recessive gene, located on the 4th chromosome, results in a difference in the number, size, formation, or location of bands.

Permeability And Porosity Studies Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand, Wesley Edward Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In studying the Cut Bank field and its numerous wells, it is found that dry holes are surrounded by producing wells, and also that the field as a whole is very irregular; water, oil, and gas zones in many cases following no definite pattern. In some instances, this phenomenon may be due to the lensing and thinning of the producing sands, but it is evident that this is not the only factor. There­fore, the controlling factors must be porosity and permeability.

Polishing Mineral Specimens By The Use Of An Optical Polishing Machine, Wilbur J. Guay

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The problem in this investigation was to determine if mineral specimens mounted in bakelite, or lucite, could be polished for microscopic examination by the use of an optical polishing machine, and if this method would cut down the length of time required to polish specimens by the methods now in use.

Activity Of Papain On Gelatin Mixtures, Edward J. Ruschmann

Bachelors’ Theses

Within the Marquette chemical laboratories under the direction and supervision of Dr. John R. Koch, professor and head of the Chemistry Department, many noteworthy advances in enzyme chemistry have been achieved. A new type all glass, single unit viscometer was developed and perfected by Koch and now is the basis of the study of enzyme activity by viscometric methods. The use of this viscometer is not limited solely to work in these laboratories but has also been used with great success in bating and brewing.

A Study Of The Effect Of Various Organic Compounds Upon The Corrosion Resistance Of Stainless Steel In Sulfuric Acid, Cyril J. Stockhausen

Bachelors’ Theses

Ever since the use of metals become a vital part of modern living, much has "been written about corrosion and its prevention. With regard to corrosion prevention by means of absorbed films, most of the study has "been restricted to experimentation either with commercial compounds of unknown composition or complex amines and sulfonates with little attention paid to a comparison of different polar groupings and the influence of metallic structure.

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 …

Solubilities Of Glycerides, Alois L. Wagner

Bachelors’ Theses

The mono, di, and triglycerides have many uses in industry; each of these glycerides has a specific purpose, if not directly, then as an intermediary compound .in the synthesis of a glycerol derivative. In order to obtain the highest efficiency in a synthesis, or as a matter of fact, in any phase of chemistry, the production of a homogeneous result demands the use of pure uniform constituents.

A Discussion Of Sulfanilamide And Related Compounds, E. Curtis Leuallen

Chemistry Honors Papers

This 34 page thesis discusses the history of sulfanilamide as well as its preparations, derivatives and uses as a treatment for a variety of illnesses.

A Study Of The Effect Of Various Organic Polar Groupings On Inhibiting The Corrosion Of Steel By Sulfuric Acid, Frank H. Stockhausen

Bachelors’ Theses

Much has been written on the testing of organic compounds to inhibit the sulfuric acid corrosion in the pickling of steel. For the most part, however, this has been confined to work either on commercial inhibitors which are usually coal tar derivatives of unknown composition, or upon complex amines or sulfonates with little attention paid to comparing the types of polar linkages. The emphasis has been placed on the complexity of molecular structure rather than a thorough analysis of what structure really means in inhibiting action.

A Study Of The Concentration Of A Copper-Zinc Ore., Kenneth L. M. Dodd

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The ore under investigation in this thesis is a copper-zinc ore which came from the state of New Mexico. The exact location is unobtainable. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the most effective means of concentration of the valuable min­erals present in the ore.

The Separation And Identification Of The Solid Linseed Oil Fatty Acids By Fractional Crystallization Of Acetone, Albert J. Schlaeger

Bachelors’ Theses

It Is surprising to note in the literature that oils and fats like linseed, tung, tea seed, soya bean and other oils although employed in the arts for many centuries still have their exact composition unknown. The fatty acids composing most of our common fats and oils are recognized but many of their properties still remain to be known. Up to the lat fifteen years the examination of oils was concerned only with the purity of a sample and with crude methods only rough compositions were calculated.

An Attempt To Correlate Certain Physical And Chemical Properties Of Various Commercial Animal Glues, Robert C. Andersen

Bachelors’ Theses

The manufacture and use of glue involves many important industries, and up to recent times we, in America, have lost much by our old "rule of thumb" and traditional methods for testing glues. In recent times much work has been done on a strictly scientific basis to explain the actions of glue from both a colloidal and a physicochemical aspect.

This thesis is concerned in particular with the possibility of coordinating the different properties exhibited by the accepted glue tests so that a definite criterion might be postulated for a high-grade animal glue. This task, however, proved extremely difficult, for …

Fermentation Of Sugar Acids By Bacteria, Gordon B. Robbins, Keith H. Lewis

Department of Chemistry: Faculty Publications

Bacterial fermentation of the sugar acids has received little attention in comparison with the wide-spread use of the common aldoses and sugar alcohols. These acids, and especially their sodium salts, are well suited to bacteriological techniques because of their solubility and heat stability, yet their usefulness for investigating the relationship of chemical structure to biological utilization has only recently been recognized. Their application to systematic differentiation of bacteria has also been neglected.

Kendall, Bly and Haner (1923) concluded from a study of three monocarboxylic acids and three dicarboxylic acids that these compounds possessed little value for the differentiation of bacterial …

Remedial Work On The Division Of Decimals, M. Thomasine Schwind

Bachelors’ Theses

The important element in remedial strategy is the reduction of the necessity for it. Prevent more, so as to have to cure less! In all learning and especially in the processes of arithmetic, our attack must be based upon a four-fold basis. Each is affected by the other three. Initial learning, maintenance, measurement and remedial work are the four components of efficiency. before remedial work can be carried out efficient testing must be done.

Viscosity Of Ethyl Cellulose In Various Binary Mixtures, Frank L. Tinetti

Bachelors’ Theses

Viscosity is that property of a fluid by which it resists continuous deformation, especially characteristic of thick liquids. It is also variously defined as the resistance experienced by one portion of a liquid in moving over another portion, or the "internal friction" of the liquid. This property is the reciprocal of "fluidity", which is the measure of the tendency of a liquid to flow.

A Study Of The Viscosity Of Gelatines, Mary Anthony Keller

Bachelors’ Theses

Only a casual perusal of the literature treating of enzymes impresses one with the importance of the subject. How could the process of digestion be carried on without the action of enzymes? The tanning industry is primarily concerned with so-called bates, which are enzymes. Other industrial ope.rations, such as brewing, the manufacture of glue, petroleum refining, the production of rubber and starch, are likewise largely dependent on enzymatic action. Another phase of enzyme activity turns to the prevention of disease and medical diagnosis.

Substrates are of no less importance. The present work is not so much a study of -enzymatic …
