The Synthesis And Certain Chemical Properties Of Several Aromatic Fluorides, Horst G. Schneider

Bachelors’ Theses

The preparation of organic fluorides, until only recently, had been seriously curtailed not only because of the difficulty experienced in their synthesis, but also due to the lack of information with regard to their physical and chemical properties. With the investigation of their characteristics, their great importance was for the first time fully realized. A concerted search was made for new modes of their preparation. That this search was rewarded is shown in part by the synthesis of several aromatic fluorides as a portion of this thesis.

A Cytological Study Of The Salivary Gland Chromosomes Of The Attached-X Variety Of Drosophila Melanogaster, Jack Schull

Bachelors’ Theses

The detailed study of -the salivary chromosomes of the Diptera has been of great importance in substantiating cytologically the theories of genetics. A noteworthy example of the importance of cytological study is the non-disjunctive phenomenon which has occurred on at least several occasions in the strain of Drosophila melanogaster. Bridges (1913) was the first to report nondisjunction of sex chromosomes which was an important confirmation of the chromosome theory. L. V. Morgan (1922) used the cytological study of the germ cells of Drosophila melanogaster to prove that there was no disjunction of the sex chromosomes in the attached-X strain.

By so doing it would train the mind of the individual to become a more effective tool for the performance of any intellectual task to which he might turn his attention. Not many years a …
