Le Misanthrope., Henry William Lenz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The aim of this thesis is to show that there is found in this "noblest of comic masterpieces" an absorbing study of mankind and a profound knowledge of the human heart. It is In his work that man gives himself to the world; in his literary efforts he gives a vivid portrayal of himself, his real and inner self is splendidly revealed, though the merely material man is kept in the background. Bearing this in mind the writer has endeavored not so much to depict the character of Moliere, but, rather by an analytical process, to designate the elements which …

Atmospheric Nitrous And Nitric Acids And Their Absorption By Rain And Surface Water., Alexander Y. Lee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Having been born and brought up in China, an empire, where the people are utterly ignorant of the vital importance of a good system of public water supply, and having decided to take chemistry as my profession, I feel intensely interested in the examination of water for the purpose of convincing our people in the far east to pay proper attention to sanitation on a chemical basis. The average life period there has been roughly estimated to be thirty years, and we have now in the Middle Kingdom a population of 450,000,000. It means in each century we have approximately …

Analysis Of Water-Insoluble Proteins Of Flesh : An Application Of Van Slyke's Method Of Analysis Of Pure Proteins., H. H. Mcgregor

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The fundamental importance of a definite knowledge of the quantity of each amino acid yielded by the several food proteins justifies the expenditure of much effort in studying the analytical methods in order that these may be improved or their limitations definitely ascertained." "From the standpoint of physiological chemistry it is highly desirable that the present very limited knowledge of the protein substances of flesh be increased." The desirability of a knowledge of the amino acid content of food proteins has led to much experimentation looking towards a method that will yield quantitative results without involving excessive time or manipulation …

American Mural Painting, Fanny E. Perkins

Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design Theses & Dissertations

The first two chapters contain an exceedingly condensed statement of the limitations of mural painting and the history of its development in Europe, - a background for the real theme, which commences in the fairs chapter with an outline of the beginnings of mural painting in America. Chapter IV treats the Chicago World's Fair as an epoch-making event in the art, and develops the history from that point to the present day. The existing examples of mural painting in America are then divided into four classes, for convenience of description. Chapter V deals with those paintings having a religious theme, …

Until discovered in 1910 by assistants of the Geological Survey, these formations were …

Plans And Specifications Of A Proposed Plant For Treating The High-Grade Silver Concentrate Of The Buffalo Mill By Tube-Mill Amalgamation, Hector George Sylvester Anderson

Professional Degree Theses

"Pursuant to your orders regarding the making of experimental tests on the high-grade silver concentrate of the Buffalo Mill, both on a small and a commercial scale, to determine the feasibility of extracting the silver contents and refining the same to 999-fine bullion I beg to submit the results of my work which has extended through the past two months. In the majority of the tests I have used a small Abbe-Engineering pebble-jars which will hold easily 1500 grams of ore and have checked the results obtained in these cases by similar results obtained by charging 1000 lbs. of ore …

Depreciation, Reginald Henry Brinton Butler

Professional Degree Theses

"In estimating and stating working costs, we are often brought face to face with an important item of expense, for which no receipt is ever given and no invoice is ever rendered, viz: DEPRECIATION. For this reason perhaps the different ways of charging this liability are innumerable. No two people often have their minds cast into similar moulds and in the charging of this item, the human and personal factor enters very largely into consideration. People differ widely as to just what part of the capital must be laid aside to meet "changing conditions in trade" and what ought to …

A Comparison Of The Silver Losses Due To Cupellation Using Different Kinds Of Cupels, Martin Harmon Thornberry

Bachelors Theses

"In this Thesis my object has been to ascertain the silver losses in cupellation with different kinds of cupel material, thereby determining the effeciency sic of the materials in the four kinds of cupels used. When I began the work I though the losses would be about equal in all cupels, but was surprised to find such a great difference. I refer the reader to the curves to see what really happened"--page i.

The Rights Of Access Of An Upland Owner To Navigable Waters, Marshall John Rutherford

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The question to be discussed in this dissertation is whether or not the upland owners on navigate waters live, by virtue of the position of their land a right of ocean to the free enjoyment of the water in front of the land there of for purpose of navigation.

The question here involved has been considered by many legislatures and courts as well as by many text writers and as a result of such consideration there is a great variety of opinions. I shall in this dissertation direct my attention to the law as believe it be in California.

A Study Of The Precipitation Of Iron Di-Sulphide And Its Relation To Certain Types Of Deposits, Vachel Harry Mcnutt

Masters Theses

"Very few of the interesting points bearing upon the formation of iron di-sulphide will be treated in this paper. The laboratory tests made are considered to have been sufficiently thorough to substantiate the ideas set forth so that exhaustive tests were not necessary. While the field evidence was collected largely in the Joplin district of Missouri, the conclusions are sufficiently generalized to be applicable to any district in which pyrite and marcasite have been derived from cold solutions"--page 2.

These two minerals were chosen because there was a convenient supply of both from which pure and uniform particles could be obtained"--page 4.

Roasting Pyrite For Magnetism With Minimum Sulphur Volatilization, Dale Irwin Hayes, Clark Watson Wright

Bachelors Theses

"In Wisconsin and other zinc mining districts the blende is frequently found associated with pyrite and marcasite. In the Wisconsin district, especially, the marcasite content of the mine-run ore is high being frequently equal to and in many cases greater than the sphalerite content. At time the marcasite and sphalerite together constitute as much as 25 or 30% of the min-run ore. The characteristic milling treatment of this ore is; first, hand-picking, and then over grizzlies, tromells, rougher and cleaner jigs. Owing to the fact that marcasite and sphalerite differ but slightly in specific gravity the jig concentrate obtained is …

Checker Board Drainage Due To Eroded Dikes, Julian Adolph Hielscher

Bachelors Theses

"The conclusions here drawn are the results of observations made during the past ten summers spent in this region while camping, fishing, and hunting; at first, with the native game wardens and fire rangers; later on independently or in company with some of the many tourists who annually visit this delightful region. In this manner it has been possible to cross and re-cross this territory in almost every direction. The highways into this wilderness are the streams and lakes and the only method of travel is by canoe, though short excursions can be made over land by following the paths …

The Measurement Of Compressed Air And Its Consumption In Rock Drills, Homer Kent Sherry, William Porri

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this thesis is to investigate the measurement of compressed air and to determine its consumption in rock drills. Our intention at first was to run more exhaustive tests on the drills, but due to the large amount of work necessary in rigging up the apparatus and computing results, we found it necessary to curtail our work to representative types of the hammer and the piston machines. We regret being unable to give more complete data in regard to the drills, but hope to point out fields for future work since, with the increased facilities now at hand, …
