Cold Caustic Soda Pulping Of Eucalyptus Saligna, Tachipully A. Bhaskaran

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A survey has been prepared covering the literature on the cold caustic soda pulping of Eucalyptus saligna. The survey was broadened to include pulping of all species of Eucalyptus by this particular process.

Experimental pulping of Eucalyptus saligna by the cold caustic soda process under a variety of conditions as well as pulping of aspen wood under one condition led to the following conclusions:

(a) Eucalyptus saligna is suitable for the manufacture of cold caustic soda pulp.

(b) alkali concentration of 30 grams per liter on full size chips of Eucalyptus saligna produces the best strength properties and fairly good …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Compressibility And Printing Smoothness, Richard R. Teugh

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This investigation seems to indicate that printing smoothness, although dependent upon both smoothness of the sheet and compressibility, is much more dependent upon the smoothness of the paper being printed. For the samples tested printing pressure required seems to be a function of the smoothness and the deformation pressure with the smoothness apparently most important.

Beliefs And Attitudes Of Recent High School Graduates On The Subject Of Beverage Alcohol, Francis E. Chape

Masters Theses

Introduction

During recent years, many investigations concerning the teen-ager and beverage alcohol have been carried out. A survey of the available literature on this subject revealed that most of the studies have been made to determine the attitudes toward drinking and the drinking behavior of this age group. These studies, Maddox¹ states, provide "The basis for generalizations about drinking in high school which are more substantial than impressionistic guesses."

Generalizations, however, have not been limited to drinking behavior alone. Alcohol education programs, required by law in every state in the union,² have received much criticism in recent times. …

The Potential Production Of Furfural From Sulfite Spent Liquors, Dale Keiser

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Summary

Furfural was obtained in significant amounts by the action of mineral acid on pentose sugars. Pentose sugars are present in Sulfite Spent Liquors because of the hydrolysis which takes place during the pulping. The dehydrating action of the acid on the pentoses takes place during the pulping. The dehydrating action of the acid on the pentoses takes place at about 100 degrees Centrigrade. The furfural was distilled from the raw acidified spent liquor and can be purified further by fractional distillation. Hardwood Sulfite Spent Liquors gave the highest yields. This is because hardwoods contain more five carbon sugars. A …

The Bleaching Of Groundwood, Dale C. Hedquist

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Present industrial methods for the bleaching of groundwood are discussed. The conditions and chemicals used for hypochlorite, sodium and zinc hydrosulphite, bisulphite and sodium and hydrogen peroxide bleaching are reviewed. Consistencies, retention time, pH and temperature for maximum brightness are discussed for each process. Chemical reactions for the removal of color are given for several of the processes.

A Point Of View Concerning Anxiety And Its Relationship To Reading Achievement, Dorothy Mcginnis

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Emotional adjustment seems to be a significant factor to consider in the diagnosis and treatment of reading difficulties. This statement is substantiated by a number of studies which have been made to investigate the incidence of emotional disturbances in retarded readers. Misseldine (18) studied the emotional background of thirty children with reading disabilities and concluded that practically all of the children tested were "insecure," "restless," and "emotionally ill." A study by Ellis (9) led him to conclude that there are emotional factors in many, if not all, cases of reading disability. Sylvester and Kunst (23) reported that all pupils with …

The Juvenile On Probation And Reading Retardation, W. William Blackmore

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The fact that delinquent boys tend to read at levels below their mental age is fairly well established in the literature (3). The suggestion is strong that delinquency and reading retardation may share a mutual etiology and causal relationship. Even stronger is the suggestion that the possibility of the rehabilitation of the delinquent youth on probation may be greatly enhanced if he is treated for reading retardation (5).

Business-Sponsored Films For Physical Science, Bertha Elizabeth Slye

Masters Theses

For many years business-sponsored films have been used widely in instruction in the science classroom. Because of the potential of the films in helping teachers bridge the gap between the fundamental teaching of scientific principles, and the applications found in the actual experiences of the student's consumer world, requests for them have often exceeded the output of those that are educationally sound. In the last decade in particular, the development of atomic and space technology, as well as the growing interest in science, have made it necessary to teach science beyond the confines of information in the ordinary science textbook. …

The Effect Of Ultraviolet Light On The Color Of Unbleached Pulps: Literature Survey, David L. Brew

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A literature survey was prepared which covered the published information on the effects of ultraviolet light on the color of unbleached pulps.

Experiments were conducted with eight types of unbleached pulp which were converted into optical test pads under varying pH conditions, using sulphuric acid and caustic soda as well as alum and sodium aluminate for adjustment of the hydrogen ion concentration. The optical test pads were exposed to ultraviolet irradiation. Thereafter, reflectance measurements were taken, covering the range of visible light.

From the limited number of experiments which were conducted we can conclude that:

1. Unbleached coniferous kraft, unbleached …

The Correspondence Of Error Between The Voiced And Unvoiced Cognates “S” And “Z” In Children With Articulatory Disorders, Gerald F. Johnson

Masters Theses

Introduction

The problem as set forth in this thesis is to determine the correspondence of error between the voiced and unvoiced cognates "s" and "z" in children with articulatory disorders. It has been assumed that the correspondence of error type would be high due to the similarity of the sounds. Anderson, for example, says that "much of what is true with respect to "s" applies with equal force to its voiced analogue "z"." The problem of this research is to determine whether there is any correspondence between the respective errors on the sibilants "s" and "z" and if they correspond …
