Peracid Oxidation Of 3-Phenylindene, Christopher Peter Johnson Jul 1969

Peracid Oxidation Of 3-Phenylindene, Christopher Peter Johnson

Master's Theses

Indene oxide (indan, 1,2-epoxy; indene 2,3-oxid is first recorded in the literature in 1919. This compound was formed in practically quantitative yield by the treatment of indene bromo­ hydrin in ether with powdered potassium hydroxide. At this time Van Loon also reported the preparation of indene oxide by mechanical shaking of an anhydrous, ethere!al solution of the bromohydrin with finely powdered potassium hydroxide. The desired product was obtained in a 92-97% yield by this method. Indene oxide has been prepared in a similar manner from trans-2-chloro-l-indanol by treatment "with soda," distillation of the acetone in vacuo after 15 hours, and …

A Comparison Of The Vibratory Muscle, Tail Epaxial Muscle, And Body Epaxial Muscle Respiratory Activities In Sistrurus Miliarius, Coluber Constrictor, And Natrix Fasciata, Craig Todd Kerins

Master's Theses

The rattlesnake can be distinguished from other types of snakes by its rattling apparatus. Klauber (1956) describes the rattle as an apparatus consisting of varying numbers of three lobed keratin segments. The segments arc arranged in a string by the loose interlocking of the segment lobes. The rattle is attached to tho. snake by the style, the modified terminal vertebra of the rattlesnake. The style is distally branched, forming a rigid core for the proximal rattle segments. A sound, unique to the rattlesnake, is produced when the segments arc vibrated at great frequencies by the snake's posterior tail musculature (Klauber, …


The Mail Of Anguish: The Humor Of Emily Dickinson, Marian Hoffman Myers Jun 1969

The Mail Of Anguish: The Humor Of Emily Dickinson, Marian Hoffman Myers

Master's Theses

Because Emily Dickinson's intellectual humor gleamed through the more permeating emotional intensity of many of her poems, I undertook to discover the persistence of this facet of her poetic art and its relation to the humorists of her time and place. The research has been rewarding.


Birth Order And Social Personality Characteristics In College Upperclassmen, James Stevens Robertson Jun 1969

Birth Order And Social Personality Characteristics In College Upperclassmen, James Stevens Robertson

Master's Theses

Over the past few decades, many research articles have accumulated linking birth order with different psychological variables. Much of the research was inspired by an interest developed in Alfred Adler's theory of birth order position. Historically, Adler (1931) considered birth order in the family an important psychological variable. He was strongly interested in the social determinants of personality and observed that the personalities of the oldest, middle, and youngest child in a family were likely to be quite different. These differences were attributed to the distinctive experience that each child has as a member of a social group. Therefore, going …

An Ultrastructural Investigation On The Origin Of Murine Langerhans Cells, Stanley Powell Tompkins Jan 1969

An Ultrastructural Investigation On The Origin Of Murine Langerhans Cells, Stanley Powell Tompkins

Master's Theses

The mammalian epidermis has been described as consisting of three different cell populations: keratinocytes, pigment cells, and Langerhans cells. Ultrastructural investigations of mamalian skin within the last decade have resulted in criteria whereby these cell types can be differentiated upon electron microscopic examination.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the occurrence of epidermal Langerhans cells in both neural crest-free and normal PET mouse skin, and to present evidence for a possible origin of the epidermal Langerhans cells of murine skin.


Ernest Hemingway's Impressionistic Style., Larry Cole Thompson Jan 1969

Ernest Hemingway's Impressionistic Style., Larry Cole Thompson

Master's Theses

This thesis is in one sense an attempt to explain to what extent, if any, the fluctuations in critical and popular evaluation throughout, and even after, Hemingway's lengthy career are due to his impressionistic style. The purpose and method of this thesis is therefore twofold:

  1. To arrive at a workable definition of Impressionism, and, using this definition, to delineate those portions of Hemingway's work which are written in this manner.
  2. To determine if Impressionism may be used as a critical gauge in assessing Hemingway's fictional works and perhaps explain the aforementioned fluctuations in his work.

Refractoriness Of Pet Mouse Integument To The Nerve Growth Factor, Walter Hollified Dorman Jul 1968

Refractoriness Of Pet Mouse Integument To The Nerve Growth Factor, Walter Hollified Dorman

Master's Theses

This paper deals with the refractoriness of PET mouse integument to the subcutaneous administration of nerve growth factor. Newborn mice were injected once daily with NGF through ten injections. Gross and histological examination showed that the skin of the experimental animals was completely unresponsive to this agent. No alterations in the hair growth cycle or pattern were observed.


Colonial Independence Of Feeding Among Zooids Of The Ectoproct Lophodella Carteri (Hyatt), Leonard M. Bahr Jul 1968

Colonial Independence Of Feeding Among Zooids Of The Ectoproct Lophodella Carteri (Hyatt), Leonard M. Bahr

Master's Theses

Possible interactions of feeding between zooids of colonies of the freshwater ectoproct Lophopodella carter! were investigated. Suspensions of Euglena gracilis at a concentration of 558x103 cells ml-1 were cleared by L. carter at a rate of 2.7 x 10-3 ml min-1 zooid-1 for15 minute periods. The rate of ingestion of E. gracilis by L. carter was independent of the size of colony and decreased exponentially with time, declining to about one third the original rate in 60 minutes.
