The Condensation Of Formaldehyde And Methyl Acridine., Clifford Albin Belch 1887-1973

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Very little is known about the acridine ring system. Such compounds as acriflavine, brucine and strychnine are generally believed to contain the acridine ring system. These compounds are all very important drugs. Acriflavine has been used in the treatment of diseases which are due, in whole or in part, to tropanasoma. Strychnine and brucine which may have many and varied uses need not be described here but they are natural plant products. For this reason, acridine derivatives are interesting. Other derivatives of the acridine type should be of some interest. Methylacridine lends itself to reactions readily. Its condensation with formaldehyde …

A Granular Briquette Resistance Furnace For The Electrothermic Dry Distillation Of Zinc Ores, Milton E. Countryman

Masters Theses

[This thesis] "describes experiments carried on at the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, cooperating with the School of Mines and Metallurgy of the University of Missouri, which had for their purpose the development of a 'granular briquet [sic] resistance furnace' for the electrothermic dry distillation of zinc ores"--page v.

The Properties Of The Fire Clays Used For The Manufacture Of Zinc Retorts, Adolph Harmon Kuechler

Masters Theses

"The ultimate object of this refractories investigation is to develop a body for zinc retorts, or changes in the method of their manufacture, that will result in better retorts than the ones now in use. In doing this, the question of permissible cost must, at all times, be kept in mind. The immediate object of the present phase of this investigation, of which this thesis covers only a part, is to determine the physical and chemical properties of the refractories (fire clays, grogs, bodies, etc.) now used for the manufacture of zinc retorts. This will be a basis for later …

Effect Of The Size Of Particles Of Zinc Ore And Carbon Upon The Rate Of Reduction Of Zinc Ore By Carbon, Keith Oxley Alexander

Masters Theses

"In the retort smelting of zinc ores one of the chief metallurgical problems is to obtain as complete a reduction of the zinc as is consistent with economical operation. Among the factors influencing the completeness of reduction are the temperature and time of distillation, the form in which the zinc exists in the ore, the form of carbon used as reducer, and the size of the particles or ore and reducer"--Introduction, page 1.

Effect Of Various Factors On The Rate Of Reduction Of Zinc Ferrite, Calamine, And Willemite By Carbon, Foster Cary Nix

Masters Theses

"Zinc ores containing large amounts of ferric oxide, calamine and willemite have been known for a long time among practical zinc metallurgists to be more difficult to reduce than ores of the same type but free from the above named compounds. This has been thought to be due to the high temperatures necessary for the reduction of the zinc ferrite and the zinc silicates by carbon. The ferrite is formed both during the roasting of sulphide ores and during distillation in the retorts, while calamine and willemite are introduced as such in the ores. The amount of ferrite formed during …

Philippine Education Prior To Magellan., Morris Uberta Lively

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In studying the culture of any people we learn that no group has been absolutely independent of influences from other people. No man indeed can say that he has attained anything of value absolutely by himself; an individual must give credit to the contributions of other men, nations and races of people past and present. So must a nation glean its culture from that of other people. The Roman Empire is a splendid example of this gleaning of culture. Their culture came from contributions made by the Greeks, the Jews and from the people of northern Africa as well as …

The Neutrality Of Kentucky In 1861., Jennie Angell Mengel 1872-1934

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the year 1924 - 1925 a seminar on the Civil War in Kentucky was held in the University of Louisville under the direction of Dr. R. S. Cotterill of the Department of History. Among the subjects studied the Neutrality of the State in 1861 seemed to arouse the most discussion and the most divergent opinions. For this reason I have been interested in pursuing the subject further and in embodying the results of my study in this thesis. Most of the material on which the thesis is based has been presented to the seminar and been criticized by the …

The Railroads Of Kentucky 1861-1865., Jessie Munday

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In studying and teaching history, I have been convinced that the transportation facilities of a country have helped or hindered its political, industrial and commercial development. In this thesis, I have endeavored to show the value of the railroads of Kentucky during the political conflict known as the Civil War. I have consulted a number of historical records and have tried to select from them, the most convincing proofs. Articles consulted are listed in the bibliography at the close. This thesis was prepared in connection with a seminar course at the University of Louisville, on “Kentucky during the Civil War.” …

Shakespeare's Elizabethan Public., Joseph Anderson Burns

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Of all the arts drama is the most democratic. Other forms of artistic and aesthetic expression, literature, music, painting, may be cultivated in solitude. Not so the drama. It is demanded by the public; produced for the public and unless it is approved by the public its doom is certain. Why it is that the drama cannot at any time break away from the tastes, prejudices, and ideals of the public for which it was written, M. Edelstand Du Meril has clearly state: “But the inspiration of the work (the drama) hasn’t at all that egotistical spirit, disdainful of the …

Word-Play In Shakespeare., Mary E. Burton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A careful perusal of Shakespeare’s works leads to one outstanding conclusion. Shakespeare was preeminently interested in words, as such. His every play shows a painstaking attention to words in their various shades of meaning. It is our interest to present some definite proof of this extraordinary emphasis on words, and to attempt in a small way to explain the reason for this particular trait of Shakespeare’s. Certainly as skillful a playwright as he would not have included so many carefully planned word-plays in his dramas if the audience of the time were not interested in the language itself as well …

John Donne The Preacher., Dick Houston Hall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the year 1573 when Shakespeare and Marlowe were already boys of nine, Chapman in adolescence, Spenser, Lyly and Richard Hooker men of twenty, John Donne, then important to only a few but destined to the company of royalty, was born. Walton says, in his very excellent but inadequate and often inaccurate “Lives of Dr. John Donne, etc.,” that his father as descended “from an ancient and worth family in Wales.” Gosse, however, calls this simply “a pious wish” because nothing is known of his father’s parentage. He was prosperous iron merchant of London, who died in 1576 leaving his …

The Influence Of Starter On The Keeping Quality Of Butter, J. Kenneth Muse

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Butter is the most important product of the dairy industry. Therefore, experimental work which indicates how the quality of butter may be improved is of considerable value. The present methods of handling cream and making butter are largely responsible for the mediocre quality of much of the American butter. The quality of the cream is not in the control of the buttermaker, except as he may improve it through impressing the producers with the importance of producing high grade cream. Manufacturing methods are, however, in the control of the buttermaker, and he should profit by the research work which has …

Scientific Discoveries Concerned With Pathogenic Micro-Organisms, Matilda Mary Steinbrecher

Bachelors’ Theses

Stand where you choose some calm night and look up into the great dome of the sky. Realize that those countless stars, once believed to regulate our destinies, have been proven by science to be other worlds more or less like ours. Let your thoughts wander on to objects near at hand. You see the rocks and soil and plants as did mankind for ages back; but where they not so long back saw nought else, you see rocks breaking into fertile soil and realize that minute living beings are responsible. You have come to understand that all the nitrogen …

The Slidell Mission To Mexico, John H. Walker

Graduate Thesis Collection

Historical events are very likely to make impressions upon contemporary writers of their history quite different from those upon the historians of later times. The intervening years are essential for the proper perspective, the appreciation of their significance, and the separation of associated events. A more accurate view of any historical event should come to those whom time has carried beyond it. In case the event be the result of governmental policies, political bias will then be less influential. The original researches and secondary complications of later writers of American history have resulted in a much better understanding of the …

Industrial Relations - In The Following Divisions 1. Education And Department Training 2. Research And Shop Committees, Clarence E. Markhoff

Bachelors’ Theses

Probably the most important problem tha.t ever occurred in the Industrial World is that of Industrial Relations. This problem has not only proven itself to be of special importance today, but has existed ever since the beginning of time; ever since there existed a manager and the party managed; ever since one man worked for or was hired by another; ever since there existed the employer, the individual on one side, and the employee, the individual on the other. This problem might well be called a problem of Human Relations and in that way, I believe, it will be more …

The Works Council, George J. Bottkol

Bachelors’ Theses

The Works Council idea is somewhat of an innovation in American industry. It received its greatest impetus during the World War and has sinoe been adopted by many of our largest industries. Although all Works Council plans aim at the fundamental principles of joint management, employee representation, and collective bargaining, the forms or constitutions of the various private Councils vary in detail.

Efficient Management Of A Concrete Machinery Manufacturing Concern In The State Of Wisconsin, Elmer S. Hollensteiner

Bachelors’ Theses

Efficient management is a subject which has been extensively treated - volumes upon volumes have been writ­ten treating the subject in general, as it relates to the shop, to the office, to individual departments. And yet, when one has once worked in a shop or in an office he be­gins to realize how industries merely attempt to follow ef­ficient methods, but utterly fail. Either because of the wrong system or methods employed, or because of inefficient executives, or because of a wrong kind of manager at the head of a certain department who may be responsible for the entire lack …
