A Survey Of Selected Methods Of Arsenic Analysis In Biological Materials And A Proposed Modification Of The Evans-Bandemer Method, Howard Beers Jan 1954

A Survey Of Selected Methods Of Arsenic Analysis In Biological Materials And A Proposed Modification Of The Evans-Bandemer Method, Howard Beers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Arsenic (As) atomic number 33, atomic weight 74.91, is usually classed as a nonmetal or metalloid, although in the pure state it forms a steel grey metallic crystal and is referred to as metallic arsenic. Only one stable isotope is known at the present time, in spite of its fractional atomic weight. However, the number of allotropic forms and their properties seem to be undecided among many authors (1).“Arsenic” was known in the pre-Christian era, but as such was not the pure element. Instead it consisted of the sulfides of arsenic: realgar (As4S4) and orpiment (As2S3). These sulfides were encountered …


A Microchemical Modification Of The Mccarthy And Sullivan Method For The Determination Of Methionine, Emilia Rodelas Joson Jan 1954

A Microchemical Modification Of The Mccarthy And Sullivan Method For The Determination Of Methionine, Emilia Rodelas Joson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Methionine was discovered in 1922 by Mueller (33) and was first known as Mueller’s acid. In 1928 Barger and Coyne (6) found that it was a methylated sulfur compound known as alpha-amino-gamma-methyl thio-butryic acid and later gave it the present shorter name of methionine. Rose and his associates (34) have shown that it is the essential sulfur amino acid and not cysteine as was formerly thought. Methionine plays an important role in the growth of plants and animals: first, as a methylating agent; second, as an amino acid essential for the building of tissue proteins; third, as a source of …


The Effectiveness Of College Home Economics For Family Living, Imogene Van Overschelde Jan 1954

The Effectiveness Of College Home Economics For Family Living, Imogene Van Overschelde

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Education in general purposes to widen one’s horizon and to give a deeper understanding and enrichment of what has already been experienced and to provide new experiences. College education should be so organized that it can be used later. Curriculum planning and evaluation has been an important part of the education program. Many colleges and universities have launched self-evaluation studies in an effort to appraise and improve their home economics program, that it may be a very real preparation for home and family living. Spafford states: The achieving of a satisfying and functioning philosophy of life with emphasis of personal …

A Study Of The Administrative Problems Related To The Scheduling Of Regular Classes And Extracurricular Activities In Ninety-Two High Schools In Eastern South Dakota, G. Wesley Peppers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Each school in South Dakota and for that matter each school in the United States has its particular problems in the administration, organization, operation, and supervision of each school. Many of the problems are similar or related while others pertain only to local situations. Large schools may have entirely different problems from very small schools yet some of their problems may be the same. Schools may have similar problems depending upon such things as size, geographical location, prosperity of the community, industry of the community, nationwide economic conditions, and races or nationalities in the community. The administration, supervision, organization, and …

A Survey Of The High School Drop-Outs At The Standing Rock Community High School, Fort Yates, North Dakota During A Four-Year Period 1950-54, Donald Arthur Weston

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The less talented pupils are being eliminated from the schools and caused to meet adult problems without adequate preparation due to the unflexible definition entertained of what constitutes an education. Efforts to achieve a high level of scholarship have been causing schools to be more selective than they should according to the spirit of the public school laws. The discouraged low-ability pupil tends to drop out of school at a lower grade level than would have been necessary providing the school programs were more adaptable to the individual differences of pupils. Schools have had a tendency to attempt to prepare …

A Study Of Male Eighth Grade Graduates Of Codington County, South Dakota Who Dropped Out And Who Did Not Start High School From 1948 Through 1952., Clarence R. Hall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Rural pupils must make a major change from the eighth grade in the country school to the ninth grade in a city, town or consolidated school. Some ot them never begin high school and some of those who do, tail to complete their work. There is seemingly a natural break between the eighth grade in a rural school and the ninth grade in high school. School through the eighth grade has been compulsory. Now, it is voluntary. They have been graduated from a rural school where there were perhaps only one or two in the class and perhaps ten or …

Scholastic Records And Personality And Character Traits Of The Public-School Trained And The Parochial-Trained Students Of The Graduating Class Of 1952, Central High School, Aberdeen, South Dakota, John J. Woodruff

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For many years at Aberdeen, South Dakota, a difference of opinion has existed regarding the relative academic achievement, rank in class, and social adjustments of the students in the public school system and parochial -school system. The advocates of the two school systems have base their opinions on observations only and without the benefit of statistical evidence. To present impartial evidence upon which the proponents may form a more logical conclusion was the purpose of the investigator. The purpose of this study was to compare the students who had received the first nine years of their training in a parochial …

A Study Of The Drop-Outs From The Watertown High School, Grades Ix Through Xii, During The Five School Years 1946 To 1951, Merton L. Meinicke

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of encouraging pupils to remain in high school until graduation is of major importance not only to the schools but the community as well. It has been said that the public schools, and especially the secondary schools, have continued to be highly selective institutions. Adjustments within the school have not, in many cases, kept pace with changing school enrollments. Today we find a widely divergent student body necessitating wider ranges of experience to meet the needs of these individuals if we are to keep them in school until graduation. The schools, charged with the responsibility of preparing youth …


Some Mechanical And Horomonal Methods Of Dilating The Bovine Cervix, Edmund F. Graham Jan 1952

Some Mechanical And Horomonal Methods Of Dilating The Bovine Cervix, Edmund F. Graham

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The selection for certain inherited characteristics war practiced approximately 2000 years before the Christian Era. Jacob (Genesis 30:28-43) was given all the speckled cattle in his master’s herd for being herdsman. In a few years, by selecting for the spotting factor, only speckled cattle remained in the herd. Selection was the first tool for segregating definite characteristics. As a means of more rapid improvement artificial insemination was practiced by an Arabian chieftain as early as 1322 A. D. (35). Since 1322 these crude methods of transferring semen have been perfected until approximately four million cows were inseminated in the United …

An Experimental Study Of The Effect Of Five Variables On The Rate Of Reversal Of Reversible Figures., Clarence Howard Amster May 1951

An Experimental Study Of The Effect Of Five Variables On The Rate Of Reversal Of Reversible Figures., Clarence Howard Amster

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many conflicting reports have been given in the literature concerning the effect of various factors on the rate of reversal of figure and ground in reversible perspective. Flugel (7, 8) suggested that changes in eye movement increased the number of reversals. He thought that fixation on one part of the figure could lead to S’s interpretation of this part as being "nearer” the observer and that changes in perspective were induced by changing the fixation point. Donahue (5) found that there was a rhythm in the reversals but the shift in the fixation point was not in rhythm with the …
