Preparation Of Thianthrene, Eugene Alton Talley Jan 1938

Preparation Of Thianthrene, Eugene Alton Talley

Master's Theses

This work was begun in an attempt to study further the preparation of thianthrene from 2-dichlorobenzene and alkali sulfides. g_-Dichlorobenzene is a liquid by-product in the preparation of its solid isomer, E-dichlorobenzene, which is used extensively for controlling moths and peach tree borers. The study of the preparation of thianthrene from the liquid isomer was undertaken because the preparation might develop into a possible use for the large quantities available.

Thianthrene might be made from 2-dibromo- and 2-diiodo-benzene but these are not as cheap or as easily obtained as the dichloro derivative and were not used in this study various …

Orthogonal Polynomials With Orthogonal Derivatives, M. S. Webster

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

We are concerned with the following assertion:
THEOREM. If {φn(x)} and { φn’(x)} are orthogonal systems of polynomials, then {φn(x)} may be reduced to the classical polynomials of Jacobi, Laguerre, or Hermite by means of a linear transformation on x.

Oil And Gas Resources, Jackson County, Missouri, Joseph Robinson Clair Jan 1938

Oil And Gas Resources, Jackson County, Missouri, Joseph Robinson Clair

Masters Theses

"The oil and gas production in Jackson County, though rather small, is nevertheless of considerable economic importance. A portion of the county has been rather thoroughly developed but the remainder has had little prospecting. In order to aid further development in the region the Missouri Geological Survey engaged in the mapping of all the known wells in the county as a basis for preparing a structural contour map of the area. In addition, a member of the Survey staff is stationed permanently in Kansas City to give assistance to the operators in the region and to collect the logs of …

Geology And Ground-Water Resources Of South-Central Nebraska. With Special Reference To The Platte River Valley Between Chapman And Gothenburg, Alvin Leonard Lugn, L. K. Wenzel Jan 1938

Geology And Ground-Water Resources Of South-Central Nebraska. With Special Reference To The Platte River Valley Between Chapman And Gothenburg, Alvin Leonard Lugn, L. K. Wenzel

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

The investigation here reported, which covered a period of about 5 years, 1929 to 1933, was made for the purpose of determining the available supply of ground water in south-central Nebraska, the origin and discharge of the ground water, and the relation of the geologic and ground-water conditions in the Platte River Valley to the conditions occurring under the plains to the south. The area was found to be underlain by permeable Pleistocene and Tertiary sand .and gravel, much of which is saturated and yields relatively large quantities of water to wells. Except in a few isolated places the ground-water …

Remarkable West American Fossil, The Blue Lake Rhino, George F. Beck Aug 1937

Remarkable West American Fossil, The Blue Lake Rhino, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Bidding for acceptance as fact, and for its place in the sun of fame and notoriety, we come now to the newly discovered fossil rhino animal mold of Blue Lake in Grand Coulee, central Washington. Not that fossil rhinos are rare or that their abundance in the Tertiary of America has waited until the present for revelation, is this fossil important. The feature in the Blue Lake rhino which taxes our credulity is the existence of the thing in what unquestionably must pass as once liquid basaltic lava. That anything organic could pass through the terrific heat and pressure of …


Syntheses In The Thiophene Series, Alfred William Weitkamp Jul 1937

Syntheses In The Thiophene Series, Alfred William Weitkamp

Department of Chemistry: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Summary

The Friedel-Crafts reaction has been used in the preparation of thiophene ketones, some of which were hitherto unknown. Certain limitations of the reaction have been noted.

The mercuration of thiophene ketones has been systematically investigated for the first time. Many new halogen derivatives of benzothienone have been synthesized. These were employed in the elucidation of the structure of a complex mercurial· derived from this ketone.

A new modification of an old reaction has been developed whereby benzothienone can be mercurated quickly and almost quantitatively. Interesting derivatives of this little known ketone have been synthesized. Chief among these are the …


Public Water Supplies Of New Mexico, Kenneth F. Priest Jun 1937

Public Water Supplies Of New Mexico, Kenneth F. Priest

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Distribution of population in State. The estimated population for the State of New Mexico for the year 1930 was 423,300. A close observation of the population centers shows them to be scattered over a wide range of territory. The largest city, Albuquerque, has approximately 26,000 citizens. The next sites, according to the 1930 count, are three in number, Santa Fe, Roswell, and Clovis. The remaining population including rural districts do not number over eight thousand people.

A Study Of The Gelation Of Several Paraffins In Various Solutions, Joseph John Wocasek May 1937

A Study Of The Gelation Of Several Paraffins In Various Solutions, Joseph John Wocasek

Bachelors’ Theses

In the selection of various waxes for commercial use, it has long been the custom to depend solely upon melting-point for property determination. Thus, for example, all paraffin waxes which had a melting range between 50 and 65 degrees centigrade, were thought to have much the same properties and that any or the commercial paraffins of this range would therefore impart the same characteristics to the product in which they were to be used. But with increased use, these waxes have come under more careful observation and experimentation. Very little data has as yet been released for publication but already …


A Study Of The Equilibria Between Bentonite And The Various Replacing Agents In Alcoholic And Water Solutions, Joel E. Fletcher May 1937

A Study Of The Equilibria Between Bentonite And The Various Replacing Agents In Alcoholic And Water Solutions, Joel E. Fletcher

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Investigators in soils have long recognized the importance of the colloidal fraction of soil, and also the almost inseparable problem of replaceable bases. It is generally accepted that the replaceable base fraction of a colloid controls to a large degree the physical properties exhibited by it. Volumes of work have been written on the problem of controlling the reactions of this fraction and on studies of the properties exhibited by it when it is saturated with various cations. Each worker has proceeded in his own individual way or followed the example set by some previous worker with specific modifications.
