The Mechanism Of The Periodic Acid Oxidation Of (Bicyclopentyl)-L,L'-Dio, Richard John Falk Jan 1961

The Mechanism Of The Periodic Acid Oxidation Of (Bicyclopentyl)-L,L'-Dio, Richard John Falk

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The failure of periodic acid to rapidly oxidize 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (I) in neutral solution prompted further inquiry into the mechanism of periodic acid oxidations. Despite the fact that periodic acid or its salts have been reported to oxidatively cleave, in good yield, compounds containing the α-keto alcohol structure such as acetoin, benzoin, benzofuroin, and diphydroxyacetone, it was reported that 20-methylpregnane-3β,17β,20,21-tetrol (II) was oxidized to pregnane-3β,17β-diol-20-one (III). This product (III) was isolated from the reaction mixture, in a high yield, suggesting that it was relatively inert to further oxidation. Pinacol, which is a glycol that contains the hydroxyl groups bonded to contiguous …


Changes In Cardiovascular Condition Resulting From An Eight Week Training Program As Shown By The Cameron Heartometer, Merle L. Foss Jan 1960

Changes In Cardiovascular Condition Resulting From An Eight Week Training Program As Shown By The Cameron Heartometer, Merle L. Foss

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The effect of different activities and conditioning exercises on the cardiovascular system has been the basis for many recent studies by physical educators and physiologists. No doubt much of this research has been prompted by statements such as that by Reidman, “An athlete is only as good as his heart.” Reidman reasoned that the ability of the athlete to perform work was dependent in large measure on the ability of the heart to supply oxygen to the muscles. This, in turn, was dependent upon two factors: (1) the capacity of exertion, and (2) the ability of the heart to return …


Measurement Of The Hydraulic Conductivity Above A Water Table In Situ, Anthony S. Dylla Jan 1960

Measurement Of The Hydraulic Conductivity Above A Water Table In Situ, Anthony S. Dylla

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The physical property of soil which enables it to pass or conduct water through its macro-pores is known as its permeability. Permeability should not be confused with infiltration, which is the term for expressing the absorption of water into the soil. The infiltration rate is the rate at which water will enter the soil surface. The rate at which water moves through soil is called the hydraulic conductivity; whereas a measurement of this same rate is used to calculate the permeability. Hydraulic conductivity is most commonly expressed in the units of velocity, whereas permeability is expressed as the square of …


An Investigation Of The Kinetics And Thermodynamics Of The Reaction Between Maleic Anhydride And 9,10-Dichloroanthracene, Budd L. Duncan Jan 1960

An Investigation Of The Kinetics And Thermodynamics Of The Reaction Between Maleic Anhydride And 9,10-Dichloroanthracene, Budd L. Duncan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Diels-Alder reaction has come in for broad usage, not only in the area of organic syntheses, but in virtually all fields of chemistry concerned with organic compounds, such as petroleum, fertilizers, cosmetics, paints, etc. In recent years, much interest has been directed toward anthracene and various substituted anthracene compounds because of their high carcinogenic activity. With these facts in mind, it was decided to undertake an investigation of the reaction between maleic anhydride and 9, 10-dichloro-anthracene and to determine the values of the kinetic and thermodynamic quantities of the reaction. This reaction is hypothesized to progress, as most Diels-Alger …


A Free-Field Pure-Tone Hearing Screening Test, Robert E. Litke Jan 1960

A Free-Field Pure-Tone Hearing Screening Test, Robert E. Litke

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota state college requires hearing test as part of a physical examination for all entering freshmen. The purpose of the test is to discover students with a significant hearing loss. The test, administered by the college’s speech department, has been part of the examination program since 1952. A word intelligibility test was administered from a tape recording which was played to all entering freshmen through loudspeakers. There was evidence that this test, though it could be efficiently administered, did not discover students with highly significant hearing losses. Problems with earlier tests spurred the search for a more efficient instrument. …


A Rapid Method Of Determining Fat And Protein Content Of Beef Using Specific Gravity, Duane Donald Bieber Jan 1960

A Rapid Method Of Determining Fat And Protein Content Of Beef Using Specific Gravity, Duane Donald Bieber

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The present methods used for determination of fat and protein contents of meat samples are complicated, elaborate, expensive and time-consuming. A large number of these analyses must be made daily in the meat packing industry. A procedure which would decrease the time and expense of these fat and protein determinations and yet maintain the accuracy of the present “official” methods of analysis would be of immeasurable value to the industry. The need for a simple, rapid, practical and accurate method of analysis has long been recognized. The manufacturers of sausage and other processed meat items commonly establish and within practical …

A System For Making Selective Matings In Dairy Cattle, Basil Ralph Eastwood Jan 1960

A System For Making Selective Matings In Dairy Cattle, Basil Ralph Eastwood

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The term “selective matings” implies the selection of a sire to breed to each female on an individual, rather than a group or herd basis. Mating systems, other than random mating, may be classed either as the mating of like to like or as the mating of unlikes. This likeness or unlikeness may be based either on blood relationship or on individual appearance. The advantage and limitations of each mating system have been well worked out on a theoretical basis, and some of system have been thoroughly tested by experimentation and in the field. In actual practice many breeders use …


The Evaluation Of Weaning Weight, 12-Month Weight And 12-Month Type Score In The Selection Of Replacement Heifers, Birkett Howarth Jan 1960

The Evaluation Of Weaning Weight, 12-Month Weight And 12-Month Type Score In The Selection Of Replacement Heifers, Birkett Howarth

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The beef cattle outlook at present is one which demands attention if the needs of the future are to be met. The United States Department of Agriculture has estimated a need for one-third more meat production by 1975. Such an increase is attributable only to the rising population demands and does not reflect increased purchasing power. In addition to the rising need for greater beef production, it is equally important that this beef be produced as economically as possible. The beef cattle industry is one of the major sources of rural income in South Dakota. According to the South Dakota …


The Attitudes Of South Dakota State College Women Students Toward Physical Education, Peggy Meister Foss Jan 1960

The Attitudes Of South Dakota State College Women Students Toward Physical Education, Peggy Meister Foss

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Physical educators are concerned not only with the teaching of specific skills but also with the development of democratic values, character and favorable attitudes toward one’s problems, work, competitors and co-workers. These values and attitudes underline behavior and personality development and are acquired through interaction with others. This involves the learning process as well as the subject matter taught. Sometimes instructors place too much emphasis upon subject matter and too little upon the learning process. The learning process may be characterized, in part, by Thorndike’s laws of learning. He has stated that students learn best when they are physically and …

A Study Of Educational And Promotional Programs Of Certified Seed As Evaluated By Certified Seed Growers And Certification Officials, J. Duane Colburn Jan 1960

A Study Of Educational And Promotional Programs Of Certified Seed As Evaluated By Certified Seed Growers And Certification Officials, J. Duane Colburn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the past few years, due to the competition which certified seed has experienced from commercial brands, more emphasis has been placed on the promotion of certified seed. Different brands, blends, and non-certified seed have been sold with the aid of extensive advertising and promotional schemes. Consequently, many certified seed producers and dealers have begun to publicize their product to meet outside competition. It appears that no longer does certified seed sell to the prospective grower unless the advantages of its use are publicized to encourage the use of this superior seed. Certification of seed is conducted by either a …


A Study Of Student Evaluation Of The Freshman English Course Of South Dakota State College, Charles E. Brickwedel Jan 1960

A Study Of Student Evaluation Of The Freshman English Course Of South Dakota State College, Charles E. Brickwedel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study grew out of the work done by Walter C. Daniel, a graduate student at South Dakota State College, on a thesis completed by him in June of 1959. His study sought to discover the attitudes which the staff teaching technical subjects at this institution held concerning the adequacy if the English preparation of the students in their classes. It was at his suggestion that I became interested in the other side of the coin: What do the student themselves think of their preparation in English and the basic language skills if reading, writing, and grammar? Accordingly, the purpose …
