2-Pyrrolidinoethyl Esters Of Para Alkoxybenzoic And Para Alkox Alkoxycinnamic Acids, Michael James Fletcher

Master's Theses

One of the most important groups of local anesthetics is the class of alkyl and dialkylaminoalkyl esters of aromatic acids. Of these compounds, the diethylaminoethyl esters are particularly valuable.

It is obvious that pyrrolidine is merely a modified form of diethylamine. The purpose of this work is to learn the effect of substituting the N-pyrrolidyl nucleus for the diethyl amino nucleus in various esters of the local anesthetic type.

Phase Behavior Of Sodium Stearate In Anhydrous Cyclohexane, Walter Edward Reid Jr.

Master's Theses

Soap solutions, aqueous and non-aqueous, are characteristic in that they firm colloidal systems at certain concentrations, the properties of which are influenced by temperature and pressure. Application of the Gibbs phase rule to such systems makes possible the location of the various phases of a particular system and hence enables phase diagrams to be constructed. For systems of soap-hydrocarbons such as are found in fuels, beauty preparations, greases, medical preparations, etc., a phase diagram would show very readily the most satisfactory composition for the conditions desired.

The University Of Richmond And Her War Effort, 1939-1945, Robert Richard Shotzberger

Master's Theses

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese made their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and the United States was at war. This marked the second time within a quarter of a century, and the fifth time in the history of the University, that war clouds hovered over the United States. During World War I, the University vacated its new campus (the present site) in favor of the United States War Department. The campus and all of the buildings were used for hospital purposes. Thousands of soldiers, wounded on the Western Front, were hospitalized in the buildings on the new campus. These …

An Analysis Of Academic Achievement In Psychology, Charles Spital

Master's Theses

Some kinds of educational tests have been in use for centuries, dating back to oral tests of Socrates. It was not until 1845, however, that the brilliant Horace Mann first pointed to the advantage of written essay examinations over oral. And even then he could not precipitate any great rush toward the use of written tests.

Some Factors Relating The Success Of Richmond College Students To Their High School Preparation, William Mclean Trausneck

Master's Theses

This study is undertaken to reveal the answers to some of the many problems confronting educators in both secondary schools and colleges. Two classes entering Richmond College have been selected for a detailed analysis of their members over a two year period. The Freshman Class entering in the session 1938-1939 was selected to represent the pre-war period for it was felt that their first two years were completed before the pressure of the war could distort the academic picture. The Freshman Class entering in the session 1949-1949 was selected as representative of college entrants in normal times since the close …

The Migration Into Richmond (1775 To 1860), Ada May Land

Master's Theses

Richmond has today become one or the most important cities in the South. The foundation was laid for this early in its history. In 1775 Richmond was a village of only a few houses; in 1860 it was a growing city.The story o! the years between 1775 and 1860 is tied up closely with the story or the migration or people into Richmond and with their lives as they helped to develop the capital or Virginia.

I have in this paper attempted to show the trend of migration into Richmond from 1775 to 1860 and to show the important part …

Some Reactions Of Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Aminomethane, Ralph Walton Raiford

Master's Theses

Most of the work on alkanolamines has been confined to the preparations and reactions of the ethanolamines. The results reported herein deal with the reactions of H₂NC(CH₂OH)₃, tris(hydroxymethly)aminomethane, which is a beta-hydroxy amine.

An Analysis Of Vocabulary Variables At The College Level, Betty Ann Allen

Master's Theses

The strength and growth of vocabulary is one or the decisive factors in successful college work. Educators find it helpful to evaluate not only the general vocabulary ability of the college student, but also the more specialized directions which the development of the student 's vocabulary may take.

The author's interest in this problem grew out of the results obtained with fresh­men in the Westhampton College orientation program in September 1948. In working up the data from 119 freshmen 's scores on the Michigan Vocabulary Profile Test, results were such as to arouse interest in analysis of freshmen performance on …

Alkylaminoalkyl Esters Of 2-Thiophene Carboxylic And Furoic Acids, Henry Alouis Rutter Jr.

Master's Theses

The association of local anesthetic activity with alkaninoalkyl ester of aromatic carbonyl acids has been well susbstantietes. Compounds obtained as varieties of the "anesthesiophoric" group are usually capable of some degree of local anesthetic activity.

A Logical Development Of The Real Number System, Carolyn M. Kelley

Master's Theses

Man and a few of the lower animals possess what may be called Number Sense. This is the power to recognize a change in number in a small collection without actually counting the collection.

The cardinal number is based on this principle of correspondence. We now no longer look for model collections; we set one collection into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers; in other words, we count it.

Alkylaminoalkyl Aryoxyacetates, William Kenneth Easley

Master's Theses

Numerous inInvestigations into the preparation, properties, and effects plant growth substances have been carried out. It has been shown that phenoxyacetic acids, napthoxyacetic acids, esters, anides and salts of phenoxyacetic acids and certain substituted products of these acids are plant growth promoting substances.

It is the purpose ot this work to produce esters of phenoxyacetic and napthoxyacetic acids which contain a secondary amino group and as a result of their ability to form acid salts, such as hydrochlorides, water soluble compounds. These compounds would be readily applicable to plants in sprays.

A Device For Determining The Electrical Characteristics Of Common Industrial Electronic Tubes, Addison Dabney Campbell

Master's Theses

Many tube checkers designed for radio receiving tubes have been developed . Most of the devices for test­ ing these tubes do little more than check the emission of the cathode. This is usually accomplished by applying alternating voltage to the plate of the tube undergoing the test and reading the direct-current component of the plate current . In this case, the control grid bias volt­ age is usually set at a fixed value although sometimes facilities for varying the bias are provided. If the tube is of the multi-grid type, all the grids except the control grid are connected …
