A Study Of The Chelation Of 1,3-Bis (Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Methylamino) 2-Propanol With Iron (Iii), Jane Bell Grinnan Gladding Jul 1955

A Study Of The Chelation Of 1,3-Bis (Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Methylamino) 2-Propanol With Iron (Iii), Jane Bell Grinnan Gladding

Master's Theses

The element Iron is so important that a major era of history bore its name. Its magnetic and metallic properties have long been studied and used. It is also well known that iron. is the cental element in the oxygen-carrying compound hemo­ globin and therefore essential to life. Its biological importance is also evidenced by its presence in the cytochrome oxidases . These important biochemical compounds are iron chelates

Fundamental research with iron chelates may therefore shed light on the operations of certain enzyme systems, drugs and poisons. Analytical chemistry and the dye industry have used chelate compounds for many …


A Study Of The Chelation Of 1,3-Bis-(Tris-(Hydroxymethyl)-Methylamino)-2-Propanol Dihydrochloride With Copper (Ii), Nickel (Ii), Cobalt (Ii), Velta Erdmanis Jul 1955

A Study Of The Chelation Of 1,3-Bis-(Tris-(Hydroxymethyl)-Methylamino)-2-Propanol Dihydrochloride With Copper (Ii), Nickel (Ii), Cobalt (Ii), Velta Erdmanis

Master's Theses

In this study 1,3-bis-(tris-(hydroxymethyl)-methyl­ amino)-2-prapanol dihydrochloride chelates with calcium, manganous, cobaltous, nickelous, cupric and zinc ions were investigated.

Potentiometric titrations were performed to obtain information about the stability of the chelates formed. Calcium and manganous ions showed little chelating ability. Cobaltous, nickelous, cupric and zinc ions formed stable chelates when the ratio of the chelating agent Concentration to the metal ion concentration was 1:1 or larger.

Job 's method of continuous variations was used for determining the composition of the cupric, nickelous and cobaltous chelates and it was found that these metal ions form a 1:1 chelate with l,3-bis-(tris-(hydroxymethyl)­ methyl …

A Polarographic Study Of Respiration In A Blue-Green Alga, Samuel Leonard Cooke Jr. Jul 1954

A Polarographic Study Of Respiration In A Blue-Green Alga, Samuel Leonard Cooke Jr.

Master's Theses

The study of many aspects of physiology is accomplished by the study of respiration under varied conditions. For this purpose, a simple, rapid, and relatively accurate respirometer would be useful. This project was undertaken to investigate the possibility of adapting previously described polarographic techniques to the measurement of respiration.

Perseverative Phenomena And Shift Ability, Edward Ernest Ware Jan 1954

Perseverative Phenomena And Shift Ability, Edward Ernest Ware

Master's Theses

Numerous studies relating adjustment to perseveration are given in the first chapter. The present study investigated this relationship in order to ascertain whether those high in shift ability will make better social than emotional adjustments and those law in shirt ability will be better adjusted emotionally than socially. The logic for the above hypothesis has been that the ability to change, flexibility, is helpful in dealing with people and social situations, but may create an instability within the individual. Also investigated in this research were the relationship between intelligence, and shift ability, conservatism and adjustment, and also the relationship between …

A Colorimetric Coulometer, Clayton C. Roth Aug 1953

A Colorimetric Coulometer, Clayton C. Roth

Master's Theses

In the study of many electrochemical processes, such as, surface adsorption on electrodes, a simple, rapid, and relatively accurate coulometer that will measure .01 to 1.0 coulombs, would be extremely useful. This project was commenced to investigate the feasibility of an entirely different approach for coulometric analysis for application in this range.

This new type of coulometer utilizes a colorimeter for determining the amount of coulombs passed through coulometer cell. Consequently, any electrode process which of its own nature is color-producing, or a process which, in turn, can actuate a color indicator, is a potential reaction for this colorimetric couloumeter.


A Study Of The Logical Method As Compared With The Rote Method Of Learning Spelling, George Mccauley Barrett Jul 1953

A Study Of The Logical Method As Compared With The Rote Method Of Learning Spelling, George Mccauley Barrett

Master's Theses

Since public education has become a privilege for everyone, there has been a gradual change in the school systems and teaching techinques. The ideas of school, the relationship of school to the overall development of the individual and how the child learns have been in the educational spotlight for the past few years.

Teachers and parents often can not understand the development or the mental and physical growth of children in their relationship to school work. In recent years studies have been made concerning the various aspects of the child's development in various subjects. As new facts and new techniques …

A Microcoulometric Study Of Adsorption On The Hydrogen Electrode, Ray Douglas Sothern Jan 1953

A Microcoulometric Study Of Adsorption On The Hydrogen Electrode, Ray Douglas Sothern

Master's Theses

Thie work was begun with the intention of studying the adsorption of organic compounds upon the hydrogen electrode. The fact that certain substances, even when present in extremely low concentration, will poison the electrode with which they are in contact shows clearly that these substances must be strongly adsorbed on the electrode surface. The problem or determining the amount absorbed at various concentration, temperatures, and pressures, however, required a method capable of detecting quantities of adsorbate in the ordor of 10-11 moles.

A Comparison Between The Use Of Projection Planes And The Non Use Of Projection Planes In The Teaching Of Mechanical Drawing In The High Schools, Arthur Wendell Allison Jul 1952

A Comparison Between The Use Of Projection Planes And The Non Use Of Projection Planes In The Teaching Of Mechanical Drawing In The High Schools, Arthur Wendell Allison

Master's Theses

For many years the planes of projection have been for­ gotten or ignored by many teachers in the teaching of mechan­ ical drawing in the high schools. The reasons suggested by those teachers who do not use the planes of projection in their teaching have been based upon their observations and conclusions, and in no instance which the writer has discover­ ed has experimental evidence been presented to support these contentions.

It is the purpose of this study to determine the value of the use of the projection planes in the teaching of high school mechanical drawing. A relative comparison …

Some Reductions Of Substituted Benzalacetophenones By Aluminum Isopropoxide And Lithium Aluminum Hydride, Calvin Lyndall Fisher

Master's Theses

While the literature contains a lnrge volume of material on the reduction of carbonyl compounds, the historical section of this thesis will be chiefly con­cerned with the reduction of -- unsaturated carbonyl compounds by catalytic hydrogenation, metal combinations, aluminum alkoxides and by lithium aluminum hydride.

The purpose of this thesis is to study the effect various substituents have on a conjugated system when the system is undergoing reduction by lithium aluminum hydride.
