The Effect Of Catalyst And Time Upon The Oxidation Of Cotton Seed Oil Air Blown At 115 Degrees C, Joseph Toth

Bachelors’ Theses

Of late years, the manufacture of oils oxidized by the direct action of air upon them, has greatly increased. ’’Blown oils”, as these are called, render non-drying or semi-drying oils (rape, cotton seed, etc.) more suitable for paint, either directly or as ingredients in paint mixtures. In the case of drying oils (linseed oil, etc.), oxidation changes necessary to produce more rapid absorption of oxygen from the air by the oil, is brought about more rapidly.

This experimentation was suggested by the work of A. Ivanova, who blew air through cotton seed oil at 115°C until required drying properties were …

A Study Of The Electrodeposition Of Chromium Directly On Aluminum, Paul E. Truttschel

Bachelors’ Theses

The electrolytic deposition of chromium has been an accomplished fact since the early 1920's. Considerable investigation had taken place before this, but it was not until 1920 that any process had been devised to make chromium plating successful commercially. Since then, and especially in the last ten years, this has been a favorite research problem amony[sic] many electrochemists and the results have been most gratifying.

By far the greatest amount of work has been done, however, using metals such as copper, steel, and brass for cathodes, very little information being obtainable concerning the chromium plating of aluminum. Most of the …

Some Features Of The Squaw Formation Near Lander, Wyoming, Benjamin H. Burma, Irvin J. Anderson

The Evolution Of The Concept Of Axiom, William Fred Jones

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

The field of knowledge known as mathematics is composed of the totality of mathematical systems. A mathematical system consists of a body of propositions known as the axioms. The concern of this paper is with the axioms; in fact, with the change which has taken place during the centuries in the ideas of mathematicians about the axioms.

New Formulae For The Determination Of The Yield Of A Bond, Marvin Roberts

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

A written contract to pay a certain amount of money on a specified redemption date, and to pay equal periodical dividends, is called a bond from a mathematical standpoint. The principal mentioned in the contract is its face value, or par value. The amount redeemed, or the redemption value, is denoted by C, the dividends by D, and the principal by F. A bond is redeemed at a par if C and F are the same, and at a premium if C is greater than F. The divided rate, or bond rate, is the interest rate named in the bond. …

An Algebraic Treatment Of Diophantine Analysis, Anthony Andrew Aucoin

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Diophantlne analysis, while an old subject, is a collection of special problems. The methods used are very varied and those used to solve one problem will not usually solve a second one. It is possible that this condition exists because Diophantlne analysis is usually considered as number theory. While some problems are problems in number theory, a large body of material may be developed by algebraic methods. In this thesis the methods of algebra are exploited. The material of this thesis divides itself into chapters naturally, according to the degree of the equations. Considered in order are quadratics, cubics, quartics, …

The Investigation Of Different Variables In The Assaying Of Silver Cyanide Solution, Warren M. Mahan

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The assaying of gold and silver cyanide solutions is by no means new. The first method of analysis which is given in the literature is an evaporation method by S. B. Christy in 1896. However, the fire assaying of gold and silver dates further back than this. There is a method of fire assaying for gold and silver given in literature as early as 1556 in Georgius, Agricola’s De Re Metallica book.

The Measurement Of Current Efficiency In Zinc Sulphate Electrolytes Containing Antimony And Cobalt By Hydrogen Evolution, Arthur R. Hard

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The measurement of current efficiency by hydrogen evolution is based on the assumption that the portion of the current which deposits no zinc will release hydrogen. This assumption is correct for solutions containing no impurities electropositive to zinc.

The Geology And Mineralogy Of The Independence Mining District, Alan Kuhlman

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

From 1888 until 1893 the district was a booming mining camp.

A Study Of Metallic Eutectics, Robert P. Corbett

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

All of the metals have definite melting points. When a metal is heated above the melting point, it exists as a liquid. Now if the melt is allowed to cool, it will solidify when a temperature corresponding to the melting point is reached.

However, if one metal is added to another metal, both of which are mutually soluble in the liquid state, a certain effect can be noted. The melt will not solid­ify when the melting point of the pure metal is reached, but will freeze at a lower temperature.

Areal Geology Of The Post-Paleozoic Surface Of The Northwest Plains, William M. Broderick

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Probably most of the area included in this report has been ex­amined to some extent by oil geologists, and most, if not all, of the important domes have been discovered and surveyed thoroughly. In parts of the area, the bedrock is covered by glacial drift or alluvium materi­al, but it is reasonable to believe that no new domal structure will be found. This means that surface examination alone will be insufficient in locating new oil fields, so future prospecting will be dependent, to a great extent, on studies of sub-surface stratigraphy.

Electrolysis of molten mixtures of lead chloride and galena was carried out under various conditions of temperature, time, composition, and current densities; without a diaphram, and with various diaphrams. Continuous runs, with necessary additions of lead sulfide and lead chloride to maintain a melt of the proper composition, were attempted on a small scale.

A Study Of The Effect Of Third Metals On The Wetting Properties Of Solders, William L. O'Brien

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Solders are not new alloys, since they were known in late Roman times when they were mentioned by Pliny. These solders differed very little from our modern ones. Tertiarium, consisting of one part of tin to two parts of lead, is known today as plumbers solder; and argentarium, consisting of equal parts of lend and tin, is still extensively used for many purposes.

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.
