Applications Of Modified Wittig Reaction To Butatriene Synthesis, John Pearson

Dissertations and Theses

The preparation of allenes by the condensation of an acyl chloride with a phosphonium ylid and subsequent elimination of an acid salt and a phosphonium oxide has been established by Bestmann and Hartung. It was felt that this process could be expanded to include the synthesis of butatrienes. Butatrienes are stabilized by aromatic substituents while aromatic substituents decrease the nucleophilicity and reactivity of the phosphonium ylids to be used in the synthesis of the butatrienes. The ylids employed were carbomethoxyphenylmethylenetriphenyl phosphorane, and a new compound, carbethoxyphenylmethylenetriphenyl phosphorane, both of which failed to form alkylated condensation products. Both ylids were prepared …

The Electronic Instrumentation For Atmospheric Laser Propagation Studies, Clyde Manford Brown Jr.

Dissertations and Theses

The use of laser radiation in atmospheric communication systems is revealing new forms of signal degradation not previously encountered with lower frequency transmitting sources. The coherence and directivity of the laser which is responsible for its increased signal capacity is degraded by the effect of atmospheric distortion. Random fluctuations in the index of refraction (turbulence), Rayleigh scattering, aerosol scattering and other atmospheric effects create fluctuations (boiling, breathing, dancing, attenuation, transit-time dispersion, etc.) within the beam cross section, which when received produce random fluctuations in the receiver output signal. The two systems which are described, are designed to investigate the effect …

Investigation Of Attitudinal And Behavioral Changes Of Selected Sixth Grade Students Who Attend An Outdoor School, Robert R. Sesar

Dissertations and Theses

The out-of-doors is being utilized increasingly by school personnel for developing programs to extend the classroom to include the natural environment. It is hoped that a climate for learning, enriched with direct laboratory experiences, will establish a situation where all students benefit. This study is concerned with the investigation of students' attitudes and self-concepts following such an outdoor school experience.

The students selected for this study attended a sixth grade class from one of the following Oregon schools: Holy Redeemer and George, of Portland; Eastham, located in Oregon City, and Rainier located in the town of Rainier. The test group …

Three Basic Stoneware Glazes For Cone Six Oxidation Which May Be Changed In Color Or Texture By The Addition Of Common Materials Such As Sand, Clay Soil, Crushed Gravel, Or Metal Filings, Carol Hilda Balsiger

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis maintains that glazes may be colored or textured by the addition of common substances such as metal filings, gravels, sands, or local clays. Three basic glazes were chosen: one transparent, one mat, and one semi-mat. To these basic glazes more than fifty inorganic materials were added in separate test batches. A diversity of results was produced ranging from a glossy, sand-speckled glaze to a rough glaze made with aluminum shavings; from a white, iridescent glaze made with gypsum to a dull gun-metal black glaze made with brass shavings; from a transparent colorless glaze made with aspirin tablets to …

In-Service Education For Teachers Of Family Life Education From A Sociological Viewpoint, Helen M. Running

Dissertations and Theses

Harmony is found between a specific area of professional family life literature and the results of several surveys from within a particular metropolitan area. Revealed is a teacher inadequacy to the task of family life education in the primary and secondary schools. Deterrents are found to be a lack of both pertinent knowledge and skill.

Having shown consensus that the stated problem exists the further purpose of the thesis is to propose an aid to its remedy. Three factors require attention. Teachers need additional information from both the social and physical sciences. They need an opportunity to become aware of …

Arturo Alessandri And The Chilean Presidential Elections Of 1920: A Thesis, Sally Ann Jones

Dissertations and Theses

After rising to a position of political and economic importance among the Latin American republics of the nineteenth century, Chile lost that leadership in the early 1900's, much to the consternation of her leading statesmen and intellectuals. The economic dislocation following World War I exacerbated the already serious social conditions, while at the same the traditionally passive lower classes started to demand a voice in the management of their own affairs. The existing governmental system had proved itself powerless to solve the pressing problems facing the country at every turn. Chile desperately needed new leadership; the time was perfect for …

The Identification Of The Inorganic Components In The Calcareous Corpuscles From Mesocestoides Corti, Larry M. Kegley

Dissertations and Theses

The inorganic components in calcareous corpuscles from Mesocestoides corti have been identified by use of powder x-ray diffraction and emission spectroscopy. Difference methods were compared for the isolation of the calcareous corpuscles from the residual tissue of the Mesocestoides corti. Previously reported and newly developed methods for the isolation are discussed.

Analyses by powder x-ray diffraction for in vivo samples which had been heated at various temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1000°C are reported.

The qualitative emission spectrographic analyses for in vivo and in vitro corpuscles are reported for normal systems and systems designed to study the ion …

Bacterial Degradation Of Methyl Dehydroabietate, Burl C. Carter

Dissertations and Theses

Bacteria (Arthrobacter sp.), isolated from lodgepole pine (Pinus contortus), are capable of utilizing methyl dehydroabietate as the sole source of carbon. Degradation products of methyl dehydroabietate have been obtained by manually extracting the cell-free supernatant solution of a liquid growth medium with methylene chloride. Gas chromatography (G. L. C.) was used for separation of the neutral products. The acid products were converted to their methyl esters diazomethane and then separated by gas chromatography. Structures have been proposed for two G. L. C. fractions (V, II) on the basis of infrared (I.R.) and mass spectral (M. S.) data. …

Intaglio Printmaking In The Secondary School, James Lester Wylder

Dissertations and Theses

There is a wealth of printed material on intaglio printmaking techniques and history, but there is relatively little printed material or work directed towards the inclusion of intaglio printmaking in the secondary school art curriculum. It is my basic assertion in this thesis that intaglio printmaking can be taught with success at the secondary level.

The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter is concerned with the purpose, value, and application of intaglio printmaking in a secondary school art program. The second chapter identifies the materials, the cost of materials, and the sources of supply. Chapter three deals with …

The Development Of A Clay Body With Compatible Glaze Formulae, Nancy Travers

Dissertations and Theses

There are two aims in this thesis: the first is to ascertain something of the physical and chemical properties of clay and glazes and how to handle and control them. A project such as the development of a clay body and glaze formulae serves to isolate the various functions of the materials and give a clear understanding as to their use and potentials. This enables one to visualize and manipulate materials creatively with a reliable prediction as to their behavior. Spencer Moseley in Art Education supports this, saying: "The quality of a man’s production depends upon (1) the idea, the …

The Gaussian Mode In Optical Resonators With A Radial Gain Profile, Lee W. Casperson, Amon Yariv

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

The dependence of the parameters of the Gaussian mode in laser resonators on the properties of the medium in the cavity is studied. Experimental verification of the theoretical results is presented. It is found that the modes in a high‐gain laser may differ widely from the usual free space resonator results. Also, resonator configurations which in free space are unstable may, with a suitable medium, support low‐loss Gaussian modes.

A Series Of Paintings, Both Oriental And Western, Oriented Toward A Combination Of The Western And Oriental Styles In The Use Of Mixed Media, Young Hie Shin

Dissertations and Theses

After studying both Oriental and Western paintings, I became interested in many different approaches involving composition, color harmony, design, texture, and form. It was my main purpose to explore various painting media by means of combining materials, techniques, and processes used in the Western and Oriental paintings. The source of my paintings is the sum total of my experience in both Oriental and Western paintings. Most of the Oriental paintings were either sketched or painted out of my imagination. They are clear realism in the Oriental sense of the work. Most of my Western paintings are either abstract or semi-abstract. …
