The Psychology Of Senescence: An Introductory Study, Charles W. St. John Jun 1912

The Psychology Of Senescence: An Introductory Study, Charles W. St. John

Historical Dissertations & Theses

The following biographical studies have been made with the purpose of showing through concrete cases some aspects of mental decline in senescence. To the objection that each of these cases follows a course in a degree divergent from that of normal mental decline, the reply is that a study of these striking instanced, we believe, afford a more ready insight into the underlying phenomena than would a similar one which deals with average or typical cases. The significance of exceptional cases should not be underestimated. Certain peculiar conditions have been present which have modified the typical phenomena, but after due …


Housing Conditions In Worcester, Harry L. Jackson Jun 1912

Housing Conditions In Worcester, Harry L. Jackson

Historical Dissertations & Theses

The physical basis of the home, the dwelling-place of the family, is inseparably bound up with and affects to a marked degree the standard of the home. If we are at all interested in the present and future welfare of our city it is highly essential that we know what the housing conditions in Worcester are in view of the close relation between home and community.

We must admit that the citizens here as a whole have given the all-important subject of housing very little attention. One must not therefore infer that we have no housing problem. Every American city …

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 …


American Mural Painting, Fanny E. Perkins May 1912

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, …


Analysis Of Water-Insoluble Proteins Of Flesh : An Application Of Van Slyke's Method Of Analysis Of Pure Proteins., H. H. Mcgregor May 1912

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 …


An Abbreviated Scheme For The Detection Of Acid Radicals., Mary Pressley Smith May 1912

An Abbreviated Scheme For The Detection Of Acid Radicals., Mary Pressley Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In studying qualitative chemistry, two things impress you. The one being, the systematic, inclusive and generally accepted tables for the detection and identification of the several metals; the other, the lack of any agreement as to the method of the identification of acid radicals. The metal analysis tables are so well arranged and so true that even the inexperienced person finds little or no difficulty in working with them. But with the acid radicals, it is an entirely different proposition. There is no generally accepted grouping of the radicals into divisions, some text books giving as many as seven divisions …


Le Misanthrope., Henry William Lenz May 1912

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 …

"The rapid growth of the coal washing industry in the United States during the past few years is characteristic of the general tendency toward more economical and efficient utilization of the natural resources, the washing of coal being a process of enrichment of one of the most necessary and widely used raw products. This industry is of great importance to the men engaged in mining of coal as well as to the community at large, and since it makes possible the use of originally poor coals, it conserves one of the natural resources absolutely essential for the progress of the …


The Measurement Of Compressed Air And Its Consumption In Rock Drills, Homer Kent Sherry, William Porri Jan 1912

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, …

Roasting Pyrite For Magnetism With Minimum Sulphur Volatilization, Dale Irwin Hayes, Clark Watson Wright Jan 1912

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 …

Efficiency Of The Missouri School Of Mines Power Plant And Cost Of Operation, Cairy C. Conover, John Richardson Kenney, Louie Lincoln Coover Jan 1912

Efficiency Of The Missouri School Of Mines Power Plant And Cost Of Operation, Cairy C. Conover, John Richardson Kenney, Louie Lincoln Coover

Bachelors Theses

"These tests were made for the purpose of getting the efficiency of the electric power plant as it was being run and the cost of operating it. Tests were first made on the boilers separately. The load at the time of the test was too heavy for one boiler and too light for tow, part of the steam being used for heating the buildings and for the air-compressor. This made it so that no combined test of the boilers and generating couple could be made until the warm weather came and the laboratories using compressed air were closed, which was …
