Electrolytic Manganese, George T. Derana

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The production of metallic manganese by electrolysis is of potential value for the recovery of this strategic metal from domestic deposits. These deposits are largely unsuitable for the production of ferromanganese, but they are amenable to low-cost leaching processes.

Igneous Rocks Of The Jardine And Crevasse Mountain Mining Districts., Ray E. Gilbert

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It is surprising to learn that so large a variety of igneous rocks is present in the Jardine and Crevasse Mountain mining districts, a region that is generally thought of as consisting principally of schists.

The Age Hardening Of Copper With Manganese Silicide., Gordon A. Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The increase in hardness is attributed to the manganese silicide being precipitated from solid solution and deposited between crystal planes. The subsequent softening which occurs on prolonging the period of reheating is believed to be due to an agglomeration of the dispersed hardening agent.

Geology Of The Golden Sunlight Mine And Vicinity, Roy H. Earhart

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Effect Of Soil Type, Slope, And Surface Conditions On Intake Of Water, F. L. Duley, L. L. Kelly

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

In connection with investigations of runoff and erosion in the Great Plains an attempt has been made by means of artificial applications of water to determine certain principles concerning the effect of different soils and soil conditions on runoff and soil erosion. Such information is needed in planning all field operations dealing with soil erosion and moisture control. It is also needed in connection with watershed studies that are being established in the Central Great Plains, dealing with runoff and flood flows from larger areas. The method employed makes it possible to obtain comparable data on a wide range of …

Qualitative Analysis Of Silver, Lead, Mercury, Copper, Bismuth And Cadmium By Means Of Spot Tests, Jerome S. Szymanski

Bachelors’ Theses

For years the analytical chemist avoided the use of organic chemicals in his work. Some of them he accepted as a matter of course, without paying much attention to their value. Chloroform was used as a solvent in testing for bromine and iodine. A few indicators were used, but organic chemicals were only sparingly used in analytical work. The beginning of the twentieth century marked the introduction of the use of organic dyes in analytical work. Since then, their use has grown steadily, especially during the past decade due to the work of Drs. Feigl and Pregl.

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 …

Viscosity Of Ethyl Cellulose In Various Binary Mixtures, Frank L. Tinetti

Bachelors’ Theses

Viscosity is that property of a fluid by which it resists continuous deformation, especially characteristic of thick liquids. It is also variously defined as the resistance experienced by one portion of a liquid in moving over another portion, or the "internal friction" of the liquid. This property is the reciprocal of "fluidity", which is the measure of the tendency of a liquid to flow.

A Preparation And Testing Of Bromo Acid, Joseph M. Jauquet

Bachelors’ Theses

The study of dyes in relation to the cosmetic industry is of very great theoretical and practical interest. The development of the Dye Bromo Acid-G and the products which are produced from it are of foremost achievement in the field of modern industrial chemistry.

Glaciation In The Logan Quadrangle, Utah, J. Llewellyn Young

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

That the higher valleys of the Wasatch Mountains were occupied by Pleistocene glaciers has long been known. King, Hague, and Emmons, geologists of the Fortieth Parallel Survey, the first to undertake a systematic study of any part of the Wasatch Mountains, recognized this fact and their report includes a map which shows in a rough way the extent of the glaciated areas in the Central Wasatch (11 ). In 1909 Atwood (1) made a detailed study of the glacial features of the Central Wasatch in connection with his study of glaciation in the Uinta Mountains. He mapped the deposits of …

Asymptotic Series, Bernard Martin

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The purpose of this thesis is to follow the development of the asymptotic series from the beginning made by Euler, in his solution of problems, to the modern applications of asymptotic series, also to present a definition and an analysis of asymptotic series, explain some different theories of their use, and show the ways in which they find common usage. The use of asymptotic series is a comparative new development in the field of applied mathematics. The divergent series were not used as a method of calculation until Euler showed that they gave close approximations in the solution of problems. …

Condensation Of Olefins With P-Mercapto-Diphenyl, Raymond Michael Abrams

Master's Theses

Markownikow's rule states that in the addition to unsaturated ,negative groups add to the carbon atom having the least number of Hydrogen atoms. It has been observed that mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide add to olefine contrary to Markownikow's rule in the presence of sodium alcoholates or sulfuric acid.

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 Adsorption Of Hydrogen Ion Upon Arsenic Trisulfide Hydrosols Preceding Coagulation, Myron L. Corrin

Bachelors’ Theses

Since the recognition of the colloidal state by Graham in 1861, the importance of colloidal systems in both pure and applied science has received increasing recognition. Many industrial processes are colloidal in nature; the chemistry of living matter is essentially colloidal chemistry; analytical chemistry involves the recognition and removal of matter in the colloidal state. As a result of the many applications of this branch of chemistry, the mechanisms underlying typical processes of colloidal systems are of vital significance. Specifically, the destruction of colloidal systems by electrolytes, finding as it does such wide use, is of considerable importance. In the …

The Lime Content Of Rocks Of The Upper Cretaceous System Of Osborne County, Kansas, Herman D. Search

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This report is the result of several weeks of intensive study and investigation in the field and in the laboratory. In making this study of the rocks of Osborne County, Kansas, the writer is concerned chiefly with the chemistry of the rooks rather than with their geological formation. He has not attempted to make a complete analysis of the rocks, but has limited his investigation in order to determine certain facts concerning their line content. He has attempted to determine the consistency of the percentage of lime in a given member in various parts of the county and also of …

An Outline Of The Principal Natural Resources Of Nebraska And Their Conservation, George E. Condra

George E. Condra Publications

Nebraska is well endowed with important natural resources, such as stone, clay, sand, soil, water, prairie, forests and wildlife. However, soil and water are our basic heritage because they, more than other resources, support native life, agriculture, industry, and social development.
