The endocrine or ductless gland system is one of the most important systems in the body of the vertebrates. The glands which comprise this system are the pancreas, which produces the insulin hormone; the thyroid, which secretes the throxin hormone; the parathyroid which produces the hormone known as the para-thormone; the adrenal glands which secretes cortin and adrenalin; the pineal gland about which very little is known; and the pituitary gland which produces many hormones, two of which, tethelin and pituitrin, are of great physiological importance. These hormones pass directly into the blood or lymph vessels and enter the circulatory …

The Editorial Policies Of The Fond Du Lac Daily Reporter From 1912 To 1938, Lucile E. Julka

Bachelors’ Theses

Since it was believed that the study of the editorial policies of a paper, removed from the metropolitan field and thriving in a community of 28,000 people, would advance knowledge concerning the small daily field, the following thesis was written.

A comparison was made of editorial space devoted to national, state and city issues.

It is also the aim or this work to point out the gradual changing of a daily from a strictly party organ to an "on-the-fence" publication.

A Translation Of, And Commentary On St. Thomas Aquinas' De Natura Verbi Intellectus, Thomas A. Mccormack

Bachelors’ Theses

Man, whenever he is sufficiently sure of the necessities of life and his sufficient leisure to think, has become interested in the acquisition of knowledge and of the wisdom which grows out of it. And then, as soon as he has acquired some knowledge for its own sake, he becomes self critical and wonders about the truth of that knowledge. Thus, at the very foundation of our western philosophy we find philosophers earnestly engaged in making the distinction between knowledge and opinion, and in trying to solve the problem of truth.

That this problem is a most persistent one is …

Investigation Of The Proteolytic Power Of Soybean Brew Flakes Using The New Viscosimetric Method, Jon Kenneth Mccormick

Bachelors’ Theses

Progress along technical and scientific paths may be considered slow or rapid, depending upon the point of view taken. A survey of the artistic and technical achievements of the early Egyptians and Babylonians would lead one to believe progress to be rather slow. Yet, a consideration of the social scientific developments of the last century would lead one to deem progress as being very rapid. Unknown and perhaps unconsciously, progress is continually being made by that vast legion of unheralded scientists ·and technicians from which arise the notable authorities of the future.

Commercial Laboratories From The Professional Point Of View, Victor I. Teltsch

Bachelors’ Theses

Many of the dentists who practiced seventy years ago showed great skill in the laboratory phases of prosthetic dentistry. All laboratory details and procedures of denture construction, including preparation of various gold alloys, plaster of Paris, making of artificial teeth, compounding of rubber, and numerous other processes, were then considered routine duties in the practice of dentistry. At that time, crown and bridgework was another branch of the profession in which the dentist manifested his artistic and mechanical ingenuity. Elaborate bridgework requiring complex planning and preparation was in great demand. Many practitioners used their own individual designs and laboratory methods …

Electrogalvanic Phenomena Of Dental Importance, Morris Schwartz

Bachelors’ Theses

The fact that dissimilar metallic restorations in the same mouth gives rise to electrogalvanic symptoms has been recognized for over one hundred years. Nineteenth century and early twentieth century accounts describe these phenomena more or less at length. However, it was not until the last decade that some attempt was made to correlate these electric phenomena with oral lesions such as leukoplakia, buccal ulcer and even carcinoma.

The Construction And Efficiency Of A Packed Type Laboratory Fractionating Column, Henry Rostkowski

Bachelors’ Theses

Although simple and fractional distillation have been used commercially for many centuries, fractional distillation has been used in the laboratory only during comparatively recent years. The early laboratory fractionating columns were much less efficient than were the industrial columns. Starting about the year 1910 much work has been done in an attempt to improve the small laboratory columns. It has been the purpose of this work to build a column which combines some of the good features of columns of other workers. In addition, the column was built with the purpose of illustrating the theory of fractional distillation and thus …

Prison Labor, Jean Polewsky

Bachelors’ Theses

For many years past the problems of prison labor have been the subject of frequent national and international discussions. Innumerable books dealing with various phases of prison labor have been written. Many of them discuss the systems, the history, the legislature and the operation of prison labor. Few, if any, give a complete understanding of the system of prison labor as it did exist and as it does exist at the present day. It is for this reason that the writer wishes to discuss prison labor and bring together all important material on the subject. By this means the writer …

Coloration In The Frog, Elizabeth Mary Pluck

Bachelors’ Theses

The color of an animal is by no means a matter of chance. It depends upon many factors, such as, the presence or absence of certain hormones within the body, the temperature of the animal's surroundings, the amount of light which is present, and certain chemical reagents with which the animal comes in contact. Animals have both color and coloration; and it is necessary to discriminate between the two terms. Color is associated with actual shades or hues as red, green, or yellow; whereas, the term coloration refers to the manner in which the individual colors are arranged into patterns.

An Application Of Feulgen's Chromatin Stain To The Chromatin Material Of Sclerospora Graminicola, Elizabeth Annette Badalik

Bachelors’ Theses

Much work has been done up to the present time on the general staining of cells, but. the workers have been greatly limited in their attempts to stain one particular portion of a cell, such as the chromatin material, without staining the remaining portion of that same cell. The ideal stain should effect only the specified portion of the cell and the remaining portion which is not to be stained should remain stainless and void of color. There. has been a lack of reliable stain for differentiating the chromatin in the cytology of lower plants and Protista.

The Influence Of Commercial Soy Bean Lecithin On The Development Of Rancidity In Lard, Casper L. Berner

Bachelors’ Theses

The preservation of food products is a problem which has troubled manufacturers for many years. A variety of preservatives of a poisonous nature has been used in the past but with the coming of the Pure Food Laws, the use of such toxic preservatives has been prohibited and it has become of importance to discover substances that will prevent spoiling of foods but still be non-toxic. In recent years, the use of lecithin has been advocated as a preservative for fats. Although it is absolutely non-toxic, its suitability as a preservative has been questioned. It is the purpose of this …

Practical Study Of The Musculatuer Of The Cat, Jack Lamalfa

Bachelors’ Theses

The author has tried his best, in this thesis, to review, to dissect, and to make a comprehensive study of the muscles of the lower limb of the cat. With this end in view, he has taken the natural advantages present, such as text books, outlines, and charts as means of attaining it.

The anatomy of the cat’s muscles laid bare in dissection would be incomplete and inadequate without the aid of photographs and illustrations. So with the help of Charles Wilbur, B.S., a fellow student, the author succeeded in making some excellent views of the muscles of the lower …

The Anatomy, Physiology, And Histology Of The Musculature Of The Pelvic Appendages Of Rana Catesbiana, Wilfred F. Horner

Bachelors’ Theses

The muscles of the frog leg have been worked on very extensively during the last thirty-five years. The reason the frog has been subjected to such an extensive study in research is the fact of its striking resemblances to man and also the fact that they are plentiful and easy to work with in all types of experiments. The structures of a frog are well developed and prove very efficient for study.

This specific field of work was picked for this thesis because of the interest to the author, the mag­nitude of work done in the field, and the importance …

Bachelors’ Theses

Each issue of the New York Herald Tribune, from Aug. 1, 1936 to Aug. 1, 1937, was consulted. The length and position of each war story was noted, together with display in the headline or pictures accompanying the article. Attention was paid to the dateline, the source and authority, and the channels through which the story was sent -- since news fr om a strictly censored bureau is not usually as reliable as that from open cities.
