The Influence Of Agitation On A Continuous Counter-Current Liquid-Liquid Extraction Column, William John Hartmann

Theses

This work presents operating data and correlations of agitated extraction equipment studied under continuous counter-current flow.

The experimental work was carried out in at agitated column 36 inches in length with an internal diameter of 2 inches using the system toluene, benzoic acid and water. The working section of the column was 24 inches. The design of the column used for the experimental work is similar to that proposed in a patent by van Dijck (3). The column is similar only to the extent that the patent covers numerous conditions of vertical agitation.

The distribution data and the equilibrium solubility …

Luther And The Apology, 1530 To 1531, Ronald Diener

Bachelor of Divinity

There are two primary concerns in the describing of and commenting on Martin Luther's marks and notes in Philipp Melanchthon's Apology of the Augsburg Confession. The Augsburg Confession was a public document, subscribed by evangelicals at Augsburg. Whereas the Apology also was, begun as such a public document, it was not allowed to be read at the Diet. There was no opportunity for the Apology to become a rallying point as the Augsburg Confession was for the evangelicals and as Pontifical Confutation was for the papal party. The Apology was a private document and bore the name of Philipp Melanchthon, …

The Christian Missionary: A Free Man Self-Enslaved To All For The Sake Of The Gospel : An Exegetical Study Of I Corinthians 9:19-23, Graeme M. Rosenau

Bachelor of Divinity

In 1 Corinthians 9 :l9-23 Saint Paul concisely summarized the principles that guided his missionary approach to the unconverted. Since he was both an Apostle one an eminently successful missionary, this pericope is a precious piece of missionary literature. Yet, as one examines books dealing with the subject of missions, he finds but a few passing, references to the passage. It is the purpose of this thesis to examine at greater length Paul's missionary tactics and the theology behind them as these are expressed in l Corinthians 9:l9-23. It is primarily an exegetical undertaking, but a chapter is included to …

Marsiglio De Padua And The Defensor Pacis, Luther T. Engelbrecht

Bachelor of Divinity

The life of Marsiglio de Padua is a considerable problem in itself. Opinions concerning the details of his birth, activity, and death vary widely. Each scholar that writes on the subject refutes in some way all those that precede him. Scholz and Haller seem almost to go out of their way to contradict each other. The English and American scholars are slightly more polite to each other than their German colleagues, but they, too, disagree widely. I have tried to present the cases of the various scholars and to determine as much as possible the most plausible solution to the …

The Lodge Question As Viewed By The Churches Affiliated With The National Council Of Churches Of Christ In The United States Of America, Walter W. Warmann

Bachelor of Divinity

These churches are therefore not now concerned about the lodge question. · But they will be when they are awakened to the inroads secret fraternal societies have made into their ranks just as the church of England was awakened by Mr. Hannah. The purpose of this study, then, is to show the position of the churches belonging to the National Council of Churches on the lodge question. To each statement of position I am adding a brief history and statistical report of the respective church since this information may in part reflect the position on the lodge question which the …

The Chrisitian Attitude Toward Birth Control, Don C. Preisinger

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis grew out of a paper presented to the Northern Alberta Pastors’ Conference or the Alberta-British Columbia District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. The discussion showed that many of the pastors were poorly informed on the matter, and not a few based their views mainly upon tradition rather than on the clear Word of God. The writer of this paper thought, therefore, that a thesis on “The Christian Attitude Toward Birth Control" might fill a need and serve some purpose. This monograph presents only a bird's eye view, and in no way does the writer consider it …

The Concepts Of Sin And Grace In Hinduism, Theodore A. Michalk

Bachelor of Divinity

There are two concepts which are very fundamental in the Christian religion. These are the concepts of sin and grace. In the realm of Hindu thinking these concepts are only vaguely known. The author became aware or this state of affairs to some extent during his first term of mission service in India. This awareness awakened a desire to learn, if possible, what ideas arise in the mind or a Hindu thinker when he hears these terms used by a Christian speaker. The author feels that this investigation will help him to render better service to his Savior and to …

The Race Relations Problem Of Today In The Light Of St Paul's Letter To The Ephesians, Walter Lang

Bachelor of Divinity

The great book of the Bible that fits best into the union movement of the Church is the book of Ephesians. This book deals first of all with the thought of Christian unity

Since the Race Relations problem is primarily one of unity, as will be proved in the second chapter of this thesis, and since we are in the union period of the Church, much can be learned on the Race Relations problem for our day from the book of Ephesians.

Lutheran Principles In Government, Walter M. Lossner

Bachelor of Divinity

Any theory that overlooks the hand of God in government is untenable. The same is true of any of the acceptable theories, if they are viewed as excluding the consideration of God. A contract between men, for example, can never overlook the aim of God. We must remember, however, that though civil government is ordained by God, it did not come immediately from Him, but came, in one manner or another, through the people.

A Critical-Exegetical Study Of Hebrews 6:4-8, Herbert Hohenstein

Pre-Darwinian Interpretations Of The Concepts Of The Origin Of Life, Variation, And Survival Of Characters, Daniel Deblock Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

The individual developments of the concepts of the origin of life, variation; and survival of characters have given birth to many theories of organic evolution. Moreover, these concepts, as they were extant in the first half of the eighteenth century, greatly influenced Charles Darwin, whose “Origin of Species” greatly popularized and gave new life to evolutionistic speculations. Since Darwin’s day organic evolution has gained in popularity until the term has become a common word to countless numbers of people, and until millions of people believe in a theory of evolution in one form or another. Hence, it is important, that …

The Concept Of Doxa Chiefly In The Gospel Of St. John, Herman Charles Waejten

Bachelor of Divinity

The Relation Of The Unio Mystica To The Corpus Doctrinae, Herbert Kretzmann

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of this paper to consider the relation or the unio mystica to the body of Christian doctrine. We will note first of all how so many well-meaning people have practiced all sorts of mystical exercises which they believed would obtain and strengthen their union with God. Many have believed and taught this doctrine as the basis of man's justification, saying that "faith justifies … as the germ of renewal, or as the means or ingrafting into the new humanity. Others seem to overlook this doctrine altogether, in spite of the fact that the unio mystica has …

A Descriptive Study Of The Methods Of Argumentation Employed By The Writers Of The New Testament, Waldemar Streufert

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

At the very outset I wish to state, as a basic assumption, that l hold to the divine origin of the Holy Scripture, pointed to by Paul in 2 Tim. 3:16. My conviction is that on account of this origin the apostolic writings are true and reliable in everything they say. When I discuss the methods of argumentation in the New Testament, that is not meant to throw doubt on the position of the Lutheran Church that these writings come from the eternal and infallible mind or God, and. are the product of divine inspiration.

The Effect Of Some Variables On The Numerical Evaluation Of Printing Quality, James G. Dunlap Jr.

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

The desire for specific information concerning those qualities of paper, which tend toward satisfactory results in printing, has become of great interest to papermakers and paper consumers. To the paper mill, this information is important in preventing the production of unsatisfactory printing paper. To the printer, such information enables him to determine unsatisfactory paper before it reaches the presses, and also permits him to tell the papermaker in advance the characteristics that are desired in the paper.

Influence Of Additives Upon The Viscosity Of Concentrated Deinking Waste, Richard J. Drexel

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The literature survey reveals little information relating directly to deinking waste. This waste is composed mostly of coating and filling pigments such as clays and calcium carbonate therefore a study was made along these lines. Hauser (8), and other colloidal chemist, generally agree that clay and other pigment suspensions can be dispersed with certain chemical additives. This is said to be attributed to the active forces of repulsion between the particles which in turn produce a marked effect upon the flow properties. Further studies reveal that the Hercules Hi-Shear viscometer has been useful in analyzing high solids pigment suspensions which …

Polyvinyl Acetate Lattices As Adhesives For Pigment-Coated Paper, Robert L. Harney

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

In recent years, the possibility of using synthetic latices as adhesives in the paper coating industry has caused much interest. The manufacturers of latices uncovered a new market by fostering developmental research in the field of pigment coating binders. Polyvinyl acetate latices were one of the group of products studied in this manner.

In the past, experts in the field of coating believed that synthetic latices could contribute substantial improvements to some optical properties of coated papers over and above that of conventional adhesives. It was also felt that synthetic latices could exhibit higher pigment binding power than conventional adhesives. …

Supercalender Variables (I) The Effect Of Supercalender Pressure On The Physical Characteristics Of Paper, Kenneth L. Maves

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This work is concerned with the effect of supercalender pressures on the physical properties of paper.

The literature survey shows that very little work has been published concerning the effect of the variables of supercalendering on paper. In this investigation, a study is made of the effect of varied supercalendering pressures on 50 percent rag ledger and coated folder paper. The experimental results show that definite trends were established on physical strength and optical properties when supercalender pressure w as increased.
