A Study Of The Variables Affecting The Addition Of Nitrosyl Chloride To Alpha Methyl Styrene, Mary Jane Buchek May 1960

A Study Of The Variables Affecting The Addition Of Nitrosyl Chloride To Alpha Methyl Styrene, Mary Jane Buchek

Bachelors’ Theses

While working with two compounds, one of which was an olefin, and the other which was Nitrosyl Chloride, Dr. N. Hoffman noticed that although a normal reaction appeared to be taking place, two relatively unusual products were obtained.

As the problem was suggested to me at this point, a literature search was started, first of all, to find out the specific mechanism governing the addition of Nitrosyl Chloride to olefins; secondly, to find out if anyone who had done any type of work at all with Nitrosyl Chloride had obtained the same unusual results as were obtained here; and finally, …


Hydrogen Bonding Between The Carbonyl Group And Wyoming Bentonite, Robert A. Kohl May 1960

Hydrogen Bonding Between The Carbonyl Group And Wyoming Bentonite, Robert A. Kohl

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The vibrational frequencies of atom to atom bonds within a molecule are a function of the bond energies. Each bond has its characteristic frequency, and most of these frequencies can be detected with the infrared spectrophotometer. When one compound reacts with another or is adsorbed on the surface of a solid, detectable frequency changes or shifts may occur. These changes or shifts yield valuable information about the bonds which are formed or broken.

An Investigation Of The Formation Constant Of Molecular Silver Chloride Using Ion Exchange Techniques.|Nii.|Pan Investigation Of The Rate Of Precipitation Of Silver Sulfide By Thioacetamide, James W. Pyper May 1960

An Investigation Of The Formation Constant Of Molecular Silver Chloride Using Ion Exchange Techniques.|Nii.|Pan Investigation Of The Rate Of Precipitation Of Silver Sulfide By Thioacetamide, James W. Pyper

Theses and Dissertations

The first part of this work reports on the investigation of the formation constant of molecular silver chloride using ion exchange techniques. In order to determine the formation constant, it was necessary to develop a method of rinsing the sorbed molecular silver chloride from the resin. It was found that desorption with nitrobenzene would remove the sorbed molecular species. However, the formation constant was not calculated since the nitrobenzene used contained hydrogen ion and chloride ion which removed silver ion as well as the molecular species. In the study of the formation of silver sulfide by the reaction between the …


The Temperature Dependence Of The Drying Of Horizontal Soil Columns, Craig Loren Wiegand May 1960

The Temperature Dependence Of The Drying Of Horizontal Soil Columns, Craig Loren Wiegand

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A consideration of the physical principles involved in evaporative drying of soil indicates that several physical processes might possibly limit the rate of evaporation. These include the rate of supply of energy to the site of evaporation, the rate of transfer of water vapor through the sample or through the atmosphere above the sample, and the rate of unsaturated flow of water to the soil surface or to the site of evaporation.


The Effect Of The Method Of Irrigation And Fertilizer Application On The Movement Of Nitrates In The Soil, Lavoir A. Banks May 1960

The Effect Of The Method Of Irrigation And Fertilizer Application On The Movement Of Nitrates In The Soil, Lavoir A. Banks

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is generally recognized that one of the most important factors limiting crop production is soil nitrogen. Farmers today are using more nitrogen fertilizers than ever before. All indications show that this usage will probably continue to increase. With the expanded use of nitrogen, it has become desirable to increase the efficiency from nitrogen fertilizers. One factor which will affect the efficiency is the position of the nitrogen in the soil in relation to the plant roots.


The Effects Of Flouride Ion On Some Blood Constituents Of Rainbow Trout, Salmo Gairdneri, Linnaeus, Richard H. Alger May 1960

The Effects Of Flouride Ion On Some Blood Constituents Of Rainbow Trout, Salmo Gairdneri, Linnaeus, Richard H. Alger

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the past quarter of a century there has been considerable investigation into the effects of fluorides on living organisms. It has been well established, as a result of these studies, that both small and elevated amounts of fluorides present in the environment may have a marked toxic effect upon gaining entry into the organism. Much of the research involving fluorides and the living organism has been confined to experimentation with animals, although considerable evidence indicates that plants are also subject to injury if fluorides are present in the atmosphere or the soil.

The great majority of the research dealing …


The Influence Of Soil Moisture Suction And Evaporative Demand On Actual Evapotranspiration And Yield Of Alfalfa, Bozorg Bahrani May 1960

The Influence Of Soil Moisture Suction And Evaporative Demand On Actual Evapotranspiration And Yield Of Alfalfa, Bozorg Bahrani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Evapotranspiration has been defined as the combination of evaporation of water from the soil surface and transpiration of water by vegetation. If the ground is well covered by plants, most of the water is lost by transpiration of water directly from the plant tissue, rather than by evaporation of water directly from the soil surface. The term consumptive use is synonymous with evapotranspiration.


Interaction Of Riboflavin With Molybdenum, Jacques Tocatlian May 1960

Interaction Of Riboflavin With Molybdenum, Jacques Tocatlian

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Molybdenum may function as a catalyst in promoting and controlling some of the complex chemical reactions that go on in living systems. The lack of understanding which exists about these reactions is due to their obvious complexity and to the extremely minute quantities of molybdenum involved. Traces of molybdenum have been shown to have spectacular results on the growth of plants when added to certain soils. This metal is also required for the growth of azobacter, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria (1).

Molybdenum has been shown to be present in four enzymes: nitrate reductase (2), hydrogenase (3), xanthine oxidase (4) and aldehyde …

Life History Notes On The Walleye, Stizostedion Vitreum Vitreum (Mitchill) In A Turbid Water, Utah Lake, Utah, Billy B. Arnold

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Early in 1952, walleye fry were stocked for the first time in Utah Lake. Subsequent plants were made in 1954, 1955 and 1956. Altogether, over two million fry have been stocked.

By January, 1958, it was felt sufficient time had elapsed for the species to establish patterns of growth, reproduction, food habits and consequent relationships to the new environment. Thus, on January 1, 1958, a Federal Aid to Fisheries project, number DJ F-4-R-5, job T, was initiated. This project was entitled "investigations of Yellow Pikeperch and Channel Catfish of Utah Lake, Utah County." Although the closing date was December 31, …

Studies In Iron Chlorosis Of Leaves, Narayan Gunderao Perur

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Normal healthy growth and development of plants is controlled by certain factors known as factors of plant growth. They are soil, climate, and plant inheritance. The soil contains many nutrient elements needed by plants both in macro and micro quantities. Iron is one of the essential elements required by plants in small amounts.

When plants are starving for any of the essential nutrients, characteristic symptoms usually appear as certain abnormalities, discoloration and deformation of leaves, fruits, and other parts. The deficiency symptoms, though not easily recognizable in some cases at the beginning, are quite apparent in advanced stages of plant …

Preliminary Report: Monolayer Behavior Studies, 1959, Bureau Of Reclamation

Publications (WR)

During the fall of 1959, monolayer behavior studies were made on two lakes in the southwest; Boulder Basin of Lake Mead, Nevada, and Lake Sahuaro near Phoenix, Arizona. These studies were made to evaluate the effect of geographical and climatological conditions on movement and behavior of monolayers. The Lake Sahuaro tests also were used to provide data for design and development of improved methods of application and maintenance of a film on this lake in anticipation of full scale, evaporation-reduction tests to be performed there during the summer of I960. The Lake Mead studies produced the following general points of …
