Drag Forces On Magnetically Accelerated Particles, Darrell Winterton Walker Sep 1965

Drag Forces On Magnetically Accelerated Particles, Darrell Winterton Walker

Theses and Dissertations

The object of this investigation was to determine the effect of acceleration on the drag of spheres as it differs from the steady state case. Steady state drag applies to the force acting on a single sphere moving at constant velocity through an infinite, continuous, incompressible, turbulence free fluid. Extensive experimentation has quite thoroughly documented the steady state drag characteristics of spheres. A dimensionless parameter associated with the drag force is sometimes used to correlate drag characteristics.

The Role Of Thiamine Pyrophosphate In Regulating The Level Of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid In The Central Nervous System, Bryant L. Adams Aug 1965

The Role Of Thiamine Pyrophosphate In Regulating The Level Of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid In The Central Nervous System, Bryant L. Adams

Theses and Dissertations

The level of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brains of white rats suffering from thiamine deficiency symptoms resulting from pyrithiamine or oxythiamine antagonism of thiamine or from thiamine deprivation was measured. The level of this amino acid was 17.5% lower in the brains of pyrithiamine-treated rats and 20.0% lower in the brains of thiamine-deprived rats than in the control rats. Daily injections of ten times the required amounts of vitamin B6 in rats treated with pyrithiamine or oxythiamine or by thiamine deprivation had no effect on the level of brain gamma-aminobutyric acid or on the psiological behavior of these rats. The …

Heat Transfer In Shock Boundary Layer Interaction Regions, Rex W. Shumway Aug 1965

Heat Transfer In Shock Boundary Layer Interaction Regions, Rex W. Shumway

Theses and Dissertations

The interest in aerodynamic heating problems has been increasing rapidly in the last decade. This interest is no longer concentrated on the heating of simple shapes for which adequate heat transfer theory has been developed« Because of the increasing Mach number ranges of aircraft, the need for information on the aerodynamic heating of various components has become imperative. Only when the magnitude of the problem has been exposed can the design for reducing the severity of local heating be optimized. Definition of these problems is of interest, not only because of the flow phenomena, but because of possible design limitations …

Entropy Titration : A Calorimetric Method For Equilibrium Constant Determinations ; Iii. H And S Values For Carboxylic Acid Proton Ionization At 25c ; Iv. Site Of Proton Ionization From Adenosine, Lee D. Hansen

Theses and Dissertations

The design, construction, and calibration of a precision thermometric titration calorimeter is described. This calorimeter was tested by determining the enthalpy change for ionization of water. The result, 13.34 ±0.03 kcal/mole (standard deviation), is in exact agreement with the best literature values. This standard deviation indicates that, using this calorimeter, ΔH values can be determined with an accuracy of ±0.0.5 kcal/mole. A calorimetric procedure has been developed for the, simultaneous determination of the equilibrium constant, the enthalpy change, and the entropy change for a chemical reaction from a single titration (Entropy Titration). This procedure has been tested by determining pK, …

Studies Of Rat Brain Thiamine Pyrophosphokinase, Lavell Rolfson Johnson Aug 1965

Studies Of Rat Brain Thiamine Pyrophosphokinase, Lavell Rolfson Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

The enzyme ATP:thiamine pyrophosphotransferase (thiamine pyrophosphokinaseJ was purified from acetone powders which were prepared from rat brains up to the chromatography on alumina C_γ step by a modified procedure that Mano (Y. Mano, J. Biochem., 42, 283 (1960)] developed for the purification of the rat liver thiamine pyrophosphokinase. The enzyme was purified 12 fold over that in the original extract of the acetone powder. A spectrophotometric assay for the brain thiamine pyrophosphokinase was developed utilizing brewer's yeast apotransketolase. The transketolase assay was able to detect less than 10^-11 moles of thiamine diphosphate, which was synthesized by the kinase, in the …

The Investigation And Design Of A Powered, Single-Man Parawing Aircraft, Calvin J. Merrell Aug 1965

The Investigation And Design Of A Powered, Single-Man Parawing Aircraft, Calvin J. Merrell

Theses and Dissertations

During the last few years there has been an increasing interest in a high-lift wing configuration known as the flex-wing, or parawing. The parawing consists basically of a flexible membrane such as cloth, attached to two leading edges (or booms) and a keel as shown in Figure 1. At angles of attack (��) greater than the billowing angle (��). the air impinges on the under side of the membrane and forces it into a double-arch shape at each cross-section. When straight leading edges are used, each arch approximates the shape of a conical section. A cylindrical section is obtained by …

Turbulent Flow In The Entry Region, Chin-Hsiu Li Aug 1965

Turbulent Flow In The Entry Region, Chin-Hsiu Li

Theses and Dissertations

When entering into the subject of turbulent flow, it is essential to understand that the kind of flow with which we deal belongs to a particular class known as shear flow. These types of flow comprise flow fields in which relative velocities have been induced by shear stresses rather than by the action of pressure forces. In pipe flow, when the fluid enters through the well-rounded bell from a reservoir or from the calm open air, a uniform velocity distribution occurs at the pipe entrance. Immediately down stream from the entrance of the pipe, the flow is structured with a …

A Microscopic Study Of An Early Pennsylvanian Flora From The Manning Canyon Shale, Utah, Max W. Blaylock Aug 1965

A Microscopic Study Of An Early Pennsylvanian Flora From The Manning Canyon Shale, Utah, Max W. Blaylock

Theses and Dissertations

The Manning Canyon Shale on the eastern slope of Lake Mountain in Utah County, Utah contains an Early Pennsylvanian flora within its upper shales. Many of these fossils appear to be new species. A microscopic study of the tissue remains can be of value in the further classification of these fossils. Selected fossils were macerated in hydrofluoric acid, and the residues were examined microscopically for tissue remains. Objects identified as fossil tissue remains were found in twenty five of the forty-eight specimens examined. Fibers, fiber tracheids, tracheids, and spores were isolated from fossils identified as Calamites. The spores were possibly …

The Americanization Of Raetic ( Romanish, German, Italian Family Names From The Canton Grisons, Switzerland

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The Secretary of the SAHS, Dr. Augustin Maissen, has sent us a copy of " Studia Raetoromanica I", Ediziums Della Revista Retoromontscha. 1965 (Editor: Alfons Maissen, Chur). It consists of a study by Augustin Maissen on "L' Americanisaziun dils nums de schlatteina romontschs e grischuns" with an Abstract in English (19) pages. It is astonishing how many Bundner names, some of them extinct in Grabunden, have been preserved in the U.S., either in the original or in a somewhat anglicized form. There are even Romansh sepulchral inscriptions, e.g. at Badus (Romansh geographic name!) in South Dakota.

An English Translation Of J.R. Von Salis' Standard Work On Rilke Switzerland, L. B. Jul 1965

An English Translation Of J.R. Von Salis' Standard Work On Rilke Switzerland, L. B.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Among the many publications on the poet Rainer Maria Rilke the book by the Swiss Professor of History Dr. Jean Rodolphe von Salis, until recently President of the Foundation Pro Helvetia, excels by its tactful and sober approach to a delicate subject which all too often has been misused by panegyrists full of loud enthusiasm, but rather bare of substance. When Rilke arrived in Switzerland in 1919, von Salis was nearly eighteen years old and twenty five when Rilke died at Territet in 1926. Von Salis knew Rilke as a guest in his family, but more and more also in …
