Urea Adducts Of The Esters Of Stearic Acid, Paul Elliott Greene

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Urea forms crystalline complexes with n-alkanes and their liner derivatives but not with most branched and cyclic hydrocarbons and their derivatives. The compounds are stable enough to be used in separating these types of aliphatic compounds from their branched and cyclic analogs. Linear esters derived from normal saturated acids give adducts as expected. Urea complexation was found to be of great importance in the purification and separation of unsaturated esters of high molecular weight.

The object of the present research was to investigate the compositions of urea adducts of various long-chain esters, approaching the class of waxes, to test various …

A Report On Drosophila Collections In Nebraska, David D. Williams, Dwight D. Miller

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

Until rather recently little has been known of the Drosophila species of Nebraska. Sturtevant (1921) lists Nebraska as one of seven states from which no Drosophila had been reported. Patterson and Wagner (1943) show that collections of Drosophila pseudoobscura had been made in the vicinities of Scottsbluff and Kearney, but no other Drosophila species are reported from Nebraska in their publication.

Insect Types In The Collections Of The University Of Nebraska State Museum, Martin H. Muma

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

In 1948 the insect collections at the University of Nebraska State Museum were placed in the care of the author. Prior to that date curatorial duties were assumed or assigned to full time teaching or research staff members. As would be expected under the latter circumstances, the organization of study material and types was neglected in many families and genera. Since 1948 type material, because of its intrinsic value, has received considerable attention. All primary and representative secondary types have been assembled in three museum cases and one slide cabinet for curatorial and study convenience.

On The Ideal Structure Of The Ring Of Entire Functions, Melvin Henriksen

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

Let R be the ring of entire functions, and let K be the complex field. The ring R consists of all functions from K to K differentiable everywhere (in the usual sense).

The algebraic structure of the ring of entire functions seems to have been investigated extensively first by O. Helmer [1].

The ideals of R are herein classified as in [2]: an ideal I is called fixed if every function in it vanishes at at least one common point; otherwise, I is called free. The structure of the fixed ideals was determined in [1]. The structure of the …

Soil Conservation In Western Australia, G. H. Burvill

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Soil is a farmer's basic asset. This issue of "The Journal of Agriculture" in a new form designed to provide still better service to the farming community, is an appropriate medium through which to remind the man on the land of what the soil means to him—and to the State. The farmer's duties to himself, his family and the State are summed up in the words "soil conservation" which is merely another way of saying "wise land use."

A Statistical Comparison Of The Standard And The Modified Karl Fischer Reagents For Moisture Determination In Certain Compounds, Lowell E. Williams

Bachelors’ Theses

The Karl Fischer reagent may be used for the direct titration of water in liquids, solids, and gases, of either organic or inorganic compounds. Literature shows that the accurate determination of water is quite practical in nearly all classes of organic compounds. Unlike most of the other techniques, which usually are limited in applicability, the Fischer procedure may be adapted readily to quantitative analysis of samples, whose water content may vary from traces to nearly 100 per cent. The reagent, however, has a shortcoming, namely, it deteriorates rapidly. It has recently been suggested that if a two solution procedure were …

Separation Of The Ions Of Groups Iiia And Iiib By Means Of Paper Chromatography, Norman Leffler

Bachelors’ Theses

Since chromatography, In view of its ever increasing importance, may some day largely replace the more traditional methods of qualitative analysis, this research has been aimed not only toward the establishment of a scheme of separation for the ions of group III, but also toward presenting and applying the theoretical principles and basic techniques of this comparatively young branch of analytical science.

Chalcones Derived From M-Nitroacetophenone, Richard Allan Hendry

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The object of this research was to prepare substituted derivatives of various chalcones having the nitro group substituted in the 3¹-position, the idea being to help complete the series of chalcones having the nitro group in that position. This was to be done by condensing various substituted benzaldehydes with m-nitroacetophenone, using dry hydrogen chloride as a condensing agent. The properties of the resulting chalcones were then to be determined by observing color reactions, spectra, and other general physical properties.

A Linear Polymer X-Ray Scattering Model, Bernard Cohen

Masters Theses

"In the development of X-ray scattering intensity curves physical models are necessary for the theoretical mathematical development involved. The purpose of this paper is the development of a physical model suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis or a linear polymer.

X-ray intensity patterns may be used to give a greater insight as to the atomic structure, configuration or atoms, molecular weight, and therefore a greater knowledge of the structure of matter, both microscopic and macroscopic. The converse may sometimes be used. An atom or molecular model is constructed, from this model X-ray scattering curves may be derived. These curves may be …

The Fluorescence Of Uranium In Solid Solution, Robert Emmett Kelly

Masters Theses

"The fluorescence of uranium finds its greatest application in the so-called "bead test" which is a method of qualitative analysis. In the form of a bead, the uranium is in solid solution, and if the proper chemical solvent is used, the bead will fluoresce under ultraviolet radiation.

In the systematic separation of the metallic elements, uranium is associated with the aluminum group in that it is not precipitated by hydrogen sulfide in 0.3 N H ion but is precipitated by ammonium hydroxide and ammonium sulfide. In the analytical scheme, uranium acts like beryllium. This process of detection is sometimes tedious …

Aromatic Acetals : Their Synthesis And Alkylation, Robert Conner Gass

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to study the known methods of forming acetals and find one or several that could be used in further investigation. In connection with the reactions, the use of various catalysts was pertinent. Some of the catalysts used were hydrogen chloride, calcium chloride, ferric chloride, aromatic sulfonic acids, and other. There was no data available comparing the sulfonic acids with the inorganic salts and mineral acids. For that reason one of the subsidiary problems of this investigation was such a comparison.

In order to investigate stability, several acetals were subjected to conditions intended to produce …

Montan Wax From California Lignites, Robert John Kvick

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Montan wax has been extracted from the lignite deposits of Germany since the early part of the twentieth century, The wax was named by von Boyen (1901), The word Montan is derived from the Latin term montanus meaning "of a mountain," The wax has found extensive uses in polishes, insulating materials, candles, explosives, and special applications in the rubber industry, The increased demand for waxes for industrial uses and the limited supply of domestic origin has made the study of the sources and characteristics of domestic waxes desirable, California lignite has been shown to be a valuable source of Montan …

Tannin Content Of Certain California Oaks, Arthur Carton

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to investigate three California oaks as possible sources of tannin. Even though the study of the three varieties of tree may not be representative samples, the procedures developed may prove to be valuable in a more extensive research by other workers.

A Study Of The Effect Of Jointing On The Blasting Of Granite, Graniteville, Missouri, Avery Ala Drake

Masters Theses

"Purpose of investigation: The purpose of this investigation is to attempt to determine the influence that joints exert upon the blasting of granite and if joints are induced by blasting. The problem grew out of an explosive evaluation project that was conducted by the Mining Department, Missouri School of Mines. In late May 1950, the project was moved into the granite area near Graniteville, Missouri. It became apparent upon study of this area that the jointing would have certain effects upon the results obtained. Dr. J. D. Forrester, Chairman, Department of Mining Engineering, Missouri School of Mines, Rolla, Missouri, suggested …

Geochemical Prospecting Applied To The Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar Area, Matthew Peter Nackowski

Doctoral Dissertations

"This study was completed to determine whether geochemical methods of prospecting could be applied to the search for fluorspar deposits in the Illinois-Kentucky fluorspar district.

During the course of the study, aspects of the geochemical cycle of fluorine under the climatic environment encountered were noted in the zone of weathering.

The Illinois-Kentucky fluorspar district supplies a large portion of the fluorite consumed in the United States. The producing deposits are of two geologic types. The vein deposits occur as nearly vertical tabular lenses or pods which occupy fractures. These deposits may reach the bedrock surface, but in any case, the …

The Red Cloud Sand And Gravel, A New Pleistocene Formation In Nebraska, C. Bertrand Schultz, Eugene C. Reed, Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Recent studies of the stratigraphy and paleontology of the Pleistocene of Nebraska have resulted in additional data that require further clarification and partial revision of the Grand Island sand and gravel formation (1,2) in order that there may be no confusion as the result of varying usage of the term.

The Nebraska Geological Survey, the University of Nebraska State Museum, and the Department of Geology at the University of Nebraska have approved the foregoing restriction of the term Grand Island and the adoption of the new name Red Cloud sand and gravel, and these names will be used in future …

Solubility Product Constants Of The Metallic Sulfides, Marvin Bernard Gordon

Theses and Dissertations

A survey of the chemical literature revealed a lack of agreement in the values reported by various investigators for the solubility product constants of the metallic sulfides. The object of this thesis was to obtain a reliable set of solubility product constant values for the metallic sulfides by means of thermodynamic calculations. Of considerable importance in calculating the values of the solubility product constants of the metallic sulfides is the value of the standard free energy of formation of the sulfide ion. A critical review of the values that have been reported by various investigators for this constant , including …

The information in the present paper …

Progress Report: Chemical Quality Of The Surface Waters In The Loup River Basin, Nebraska, John G. Connor

United States Geological Survey: Publications

The Loup River and its tributaries transport moderate amounts of siliceous minerals from the sand hills region of north-central Nebraska to the Platte River near Columbus, Nebr. Predominant chemical characteristics of these waters are a high percentage of silica, moderate hardness, and a low percentage of sodium. The composition of the Loup River water is influenced by the geologic formations through which ground water, a major contributor to the flows of the Loup River branches, has percolated. Investigation of water quality at or near proposed dam sites in the Loup River basin indicates that if soil and drainage conditions are …
