Electrolytic Preparation Of Glucuronic Acid From Glucose, Thomas Mcguine

Bachelors’ Theses

The present work was undertaken to check the results of Dr. R.A. Leutgoeb in the electrolytic preparation and also to further the separation of glucuronic acid from the electrolyte.

Because up to 1938 no efficient chemical method of glucuronic acid had been developed. Dr. Leutgoeb undertook to remedy this lack by making use of electrolysis for a preparation from alpha methyl-glucoside. Such a chemical method is needed if biochemists wish to successfully continue work on the metabolism and deoxioating functions of glucuronic acid. Biological means indeed produce glucuronic acid but in low yields and after much time and labor. Hence …

The Purification Of Linolenic Acid Of Linseed Oil Fatty Acids By Fractional Crystallization From Acetone, Sylvester Ralph Taterzynski

Bachelors’ Theses

Recently the fat and oil chemists are concerning themselves with a more thorough analysis of the fats and oils. In former years chemists in this field seemed to be satisfied with a relatively superficial analysis, used especially in detecting adulteration of oils.

This lack of detailed- analysis was, in great part, due to the fact -that there was no good methods of separation and analysis and especially of the higher unsaturated fatty acids. Only generalizations and approximate calculations were made. However, in the past few years, a decided step has been made toward a far more detailed investigation of the …

The Comparative Ability Of The Bob-White And The Ring-Necked Pheasant To Withstand Cold And Hunger, Paul L. Errington

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

The native Bob-white (Colinus virginianus) and the introduced Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus torquatus) may both, on occasion, suffer severe winter mortality over much of their common range in north-central United States. Their habitats often overlap, although the Pheasant has a greater cruising radius and an ability to live in a more open type of country than the Bob-white. In given localities they also live upon much the same kinds of winter foods.

The scope of this paper is not intended to cover the ecological adjustments of Pheasants or of Bob-whites to their winter environment so much …

The Nebraska State Geological Survey And The "Valentine Problem", Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

The Nebraska State Geological Survey is primarily concerned with the stratigraphic classification of the Tertiary lithologic units in this state. When the stratigraphic relationships are fully understood, the faunas can be properly and correctly related and named, whether the stratigraphic names or others are used. It should be understood that this survey, in determmmg its acceptance of stratigraphic names on the basis of priority, is making every effort to differentiate names which have been applied in a strictly stratigraphic sense from names which. while they may be older, were applied in only a geographic or faunal sense and have only …

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 …

Alkali Leaching Of Antimony Sulphide And Electrolytic Recovery Of Antimony From The Resulting Leach Solution, Vincent J. Andrews

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It is the purpose of this investigation to obtain some insight into optimum conditions for leaching Stib­nite with sodium hydroxide solution and also to steady the factors affecting the electrolysis of the resulting solution.

The Geology And Ore Deposits Of Jardine, Montana, Wolter Duykers

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The subject to be covered by this paper is based upon field study made during a six week stay at Jardine. The work began on June 19, 1937 and ended on July 31 of the same year.

The Electrodeposition Of Manganese From Certain Aqueous Solutions., William C. Wallace

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Manganese has been successfully electrodeposited from aqueous solutions in past years by several work­ers in electrochemical and electrometallurgical fields.

The present work was concerned, primarily, with investigation of electrodeposition from solutions which are commercially obtainable from the hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical treatment of the low grade mangan­ese deposits of this country.

The Tesla Coil, Willard H. Schultz

Bachelors’ Theses

The following paper is an attempt to gather together and present in some order a few of the facts concerning the design, theory, and operation of the Tesla Coil. The writer's interest was first directed to the production of high frequency, high potential current by an article appearing on page 594 of the October, 1933 issue of the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Here the construction of a small coil was described. The writer built such a coil and was greatly disappointed with the results obtained from it. As is so frequently the case, this failure only intensified the desire to construct …

The Effect Of Time, Temperature, And Pressure On The Hydrogenation Of Castor Oil, Darwin F. Kaestner

Bachelors’ Theses

Although much research and investigation has been carried out during the past twenty years on t he hydrogenation of oils; only a small ·amount of this research has been devoted to the study of the hydrogenation of castor oil. In recent years much time has been devoted to the hydrogenation of those oils which yield edible fats. Castor oil, on the other hand, does not result upon hydrogenation in the formation of an edible fat, and hence, its characteristics were not fully studied. The intention of the author in doing this thesis was to obtain some data as to the …

The Construction Of Triangles Having Given Three Elements, Mary Eugene Wolter

Bachelors’ Theses

It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that I dedicate these following pages to those who are especially interested in mathematics, to those who are more geometrically than algebraically inclined, and in particular to my students in mathematics. It is through my students of the past that I have been assisted in bringing forth this work, by applying such knowledge as I have acquired in my teaching experience. To the pupils who in the future will come under my guidance and direction I hope to impart the benefits and fruits that should be the outgrowth of the labor and study …
