Effects Of Thermal Influences Upon The Pons And Medulla And Upon The Mid Brain And Diencephalon After Ligation Of The Basilar Artery., Franklin Jelsma

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the past two decades, substantial advances have been made toward the understanding of various phases of heat regulation. Many threads leading to the explanation of the complete mechanism of heat regulation of the body have been unraveled. Altho the exact anatomical location, extent and relations have not yet been determined, it has become evident that the chief control of body temperature is thru the central nervous system. Especially important regions are the basal nuclei and the brain stem. Barbour has produced evidence, confirmed by Hashimoto, Prince and Hahn, Rogers, Bazett and Penfield, that temperature control occurs by means of …

Land Laws Of Kentucky., Lillian Logan Jan 1930

Land Laws Of Kentucky., Lillian Logan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis follows the growth of settlement in Kentucky from the time of her birth as a state in seventeen hundred and ninety-two, to the year eighteen hundred and thirty-seven, a period during which all of the land within her borders was opened for settlement. It does not pretend to relate a complete story of the march across Kentucky, but only to tell the important stages as revealed by the laws governing appropriating of land. There were no Indian towns or villages within the boundaries of what is now Kentucky, but certain tribes had definite hunting grounds. The Cherokees were …


Early Catholicity In Kentucky And The See Of Bardstown., Wickliffe Lockett Jan 1929

Early Catholicity In Kentucky And The See Of Bardstown., Wickliffe Lockett

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Early Catholicity in Kentucky is centered so closely around Bardstown, that to think of it at all in its early stages, is to think of Bardstown. Within the limits of this quaint little old town are many places of historic interest but in connection with this subject, we are concerned only with those which relate to early Catholicity in Kentucky. Perhaps the most interesting of these is St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, once the Cathedral of the West and a monument to the pioneer Catholics of Kentucky. The history of this beautiful old building will be given later under a separate …


The Founding Of The Brookings Register, Neva Whaley Jan 1929

The Founding Of The Brookings Register, Neva Whaley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Thus in this “History of the Brookings Register,” I am producing an effect. This effect had to have a cause. This cause was the development and success of the paper, which is in turn is the effect of there being some cause for its development. That cause is the town of Brookings. What I have been trying to say is that without the town of Brookings there would have been no Brookings Register. Does it not seem logical then, to take up a brief history of the found and settlement of this town?

The Mississippi Question And The Problem Of Statehood In Kentucky., Harold J. Stipe Jan 1929

The Mississippi Question And The Problem Of Statehood In Kentucky., Harold J. Stipe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The history of new state movements in America is always an absorbing study; the character of the settlers and the compelling factors that motivate them are revealed with startling clarity as the reader turns the pages back into the annals of the period. The history of America has been, in a large degree, says Frederick J. Turner, "the history of the colonization of the Great West. The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward, explain American development." In no state was the influence of the frontier advance upon political development …


Reversal Of Polarity In Some Woody Dicotyledonous Angiosperms, Ida J. Rude Jan 1928

Reversal Of Polarity In Some Woody Dicotyledonous Angiosperms, Ida J. Rude

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There has for some time existed a theory regarding organized or possibly unorganized formative substances which flow in different directions in the plant tissue and give to the supposedly polarized meristematic tissues of the plant the power to develop to maintain roots from one given or predetermined extremity and shoots from the opposite extremity only. According to theory – in case of the reversal of the position of these ends in relation to moisture, a corresponding reversal in type of plant organ produced will not ensue and persist. The experiment under discussion in this paper was carried out in an …

The Preparation Of Derivatives Related To Novocain., Helen Peil Jan 1927

The Preparation Of Derivatives Related To Novocain., Helen Peil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study of the relationship between chemical constitution and physiological effect embraces many very interesting problems which are, however, frequently difficult to solve. In the investigation of any drug the first step is to determine the principle to which the physiological effect is due, and then by analysis and synthesis assign the correct chemical constitution to this principle. When the chemical constitution is definitely known, other compounds of a similar structure may be prepared, and their physiological action compared with the original drug. By this means it is sometimes possible to prepare drugs which possess the principle desired in the …


The Influence Of Sixteenth Century Voyages On Elizabethan Literature., Elizabeth Nugent Jan 1926

The Influence Of Sixteenth Century Voyages On Elizabethan Literature., Elizabeth Nugent

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this thesis to show what influence the sixteenth century voyagers had on the Elizabethan writers. For expediency, we have divided these voyages into two classes: namely, the early, from Columbus, 1492, to Vasca de Gama, 1498; and the later voyagers from de Gama to Captain Smith, 1603. We find that commerce instigated nearly all early navigation. The Turks having cut off the Mediterranean trade route with India in 1453, it was necessary to find another water route to this country. As a direct consequence, Columbus discovered the West Indies in 1492 and claimed the new …


Reconstruction In Kentucky., John W. Manning Jan 1926

Reconstruction In Kentucky., John W. Manning

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Reconstruction began in Kentucky somewhat sooner than in the States south of the Blue Grass Commonwealth. As soon as the invading Confederate army withdrew from the State in 1862, loyal Kentuckians began to prepare for peaceful pursuits and to restore the State, as best they could, to somewhat the position it occupied before the war between the states. Of course it was impossible to remake the State as it was before the struggle, but at least the civil authority could be restored, and the State prepared for the reign of peace. The dates 1862 to 1870 have been selected as …


The Effects Of Ice Cream In The Diet Of Young Life., Mildred A. Schneiderhan Jan 1926

The Effects Of Ice Cream In The Diet Of Young Life., Mildred A. Schneiderhan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Much work has been done in the past on the nutritional value in young life of different dairy products, all of which experiments have been carried to successful completion by various men at different times. There is, however, no published information demonstrating the comparative values resulting from experimental work in the nutritional value of ice cream as a supplementary diet in infant life. For the purpose of the following experiments, the albino rat, (Mus Norvegicus Albinus) and the Norway rat, (Mus Nor vegicus), together with Guinea Pigs and cats were used. It is a well-known fact that rats exhibit the …


The Railroads Of Kentucky 1861-1865., Jessie Munday Jan 1925

The Railroads Of Kentucky 1861-1865., Jessie Munday

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In studying and teaching history, I have been convinced that the transportation facilities of a country have helped or hindered its political, industrial and commercial development. In this thesis, I have endeavored to show the value of the railroads of Kentucky during the political conflict known as the Civil War. I have consulted a number of historical records and have tried to select from them, the most convincing proofs. Articles consulted are listed in the bibliography at the close. This thesis was prepared in connection with a seminar course at the University of Louisville, on “Kentucky during the Civil War.” …
