Chlorination Of Ditolylethane, John Joseph Hawkins

Bachelors’ Theses

At present, research into suitable dielectric media has led to investigations in the field of organic fluorides. These fluorides must be synthesized and the corresponding chlorides of various organic compounds offer a starting point for the synthesis. Substitution fluorination is to be at­ tempted in a specially constructed pressure bomb using various catalysts and fluorinating agents with the organic chlorides. Among other organic chlorides chosen to be used in the pres­ sure bomb, ditolylethane, chlorinated to various degrees, was chosen as one of the trial reagents. Ditolylethane had been received into the department in a crude form with very limited …

An Electrophoretic Determinatin Of The Properties Of Methacrol M.E. By The Use Of A Capillary Cross-Arm "U" Tube, Richard Reiland Bains

Bachelors’ Theses

this research was undertaken primarily to discover the use of a capillary cross-arm "U" tube in the determi­nation of the electrophoretic and other electrical proper­ ties of a plastic emulsion.

The primary objective was to determine the isoelectric point of the emulsion and also the optimum pH or electro-endosmotic motion.

The secondary and distant objective was to note when, how, and it any coherent plating on the electrodes took place.

The Stability Of Aqueous And Calcium Gluconate Solutions Of Vitamin C, Charles Patrick Hawkins

Bachelors’ Theses

The first identification of vitamin C as such took place in 1931. This water-soluble, antiscorbutic vitamin has variously been known as "hexuronic acid", "cevitamic
acid", "cevalin", and "cebione". However , the present name given to it because of its anti-scurvy properties by Haworth and Szent-Gyorgyi, "1-ascorbic acid" , will apparently survive as its chemical name, particularly since that name has been adopted by the American Chemical Society, the American Medical Association, and the U.S.P.

Some Studies Of The Cytology Of Cancer, Arthur O. Christiansen

Bachelors’ Theses

The microscopy of the malignant cell has received the attention of large numbers of investigators, who have sought some definite morphological criterion of malignancy. The early literature of cancer research contains descriptions of abnormal cell structures and cytological processes which have been regarded as distinctive of cancerous growth. Subsequent investigations, however, have failed to establish any precise cytological diagnostic characteristic of cancer. The cells of new growths however, present a wide range of pathological variations. of particular interest from the point of view of cellular pathology, by which in some oases have been erroneously interpreted, and have consequently led to …

A Study Of The Wahl Peptase Method, Francis C. Cretsinger

Bachelors’ Theses

An interest was first aroused in this problem by Mr. Lawrence Ehrnst of the Froedtert Malting Company who has been interested for some time in devising a method for determining the peptic power of malt. Through the cooperation of Dr. J. R. Koch, the author's major professor, a study of the Wahl Peptase Test was made possible.

Anyone who attempts the study of enzymes is confronted with the various factors inhibiting enzyme action. Also, the seemingly contradictory results of different investigators is somewhat confusing. This may be attributed to the difficulty of repeating identical experimental conditions, for enzymes are very …

Preparation Of A Clear, Light Pharmaceutical Solution Of Sodium Morrhuate, George H. Becker

Bachelors’ Theses

Treatment of varicose veins by the injection method has resulted in diminution of prolonged suffering by many patients. The ideal solution is one that ill cause no sloughing of the tissues immediately surrounding the vein; nontoxic in the amounts used; effective; not too painful and not capable of reducing drug hypersensitivity. Many
drugs have been tried with varying efficacy. Among the more important are, dextrose and sodium chloride mixture, quinine, quine urea hydrochloride, quinine dihydrochloride, quinine and urethane, 30 to 40% sodium salicylate, 20% sodium chloride, and sodium morrhuate. A sclerosing agent, to be most efficient; must destroy the endothelium …

The Oratory Of Reverend Charles E. Coughlin, Earl Charles Bach

Bachelors’ Theses

Perhaps one of the most talked of persons in the country today is the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, pastor of the Shrine of the Little Flower at Royal Oak,. Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Wherever there is a radio set in this broad land and Canada, Father Coughlin's name has become a household word.· When Father Coughlin speaks over the radio all America listens. The banker in Wall Street drops his talk about business and listens. The farmer, lost in the far reaches of the West, interrupts his afternoon nap and listens. The young men in the gymnasiums; the sick …

The Forward Pass In Football, Francis J. Deig

Bachelors’ Theses

In the past decade, the forward pass has been looked upon as merely a threat play. It was used only as a last minute attempt to score. But with the change of the style of play, the forward pass has become an almost inevitable part of the game.

In this Thesis, I have attempted to show that the rise of the pass was not meteoric, but rather that it was a result of a long process.

I have gone into detail regarding fundamentals of passing, forward pass offense, forward pass defense and in conclusion, have given my aspect of the …

Considerations Of The Spleen, Roy P. Forster

Bachelors’ Theses

In this brief paper I have made no attempt to completely cover the field of splenic investigation. In­ deed, some of the supposedly important functions of the spleen I have but mentioned, while to some of the doubtful and less important I have devoted whole chapters. This paper is to be considered complementary to work done in other phases of the spleen's activity by Mr. C. Fox and Mr. M. Gilbert here at Marquette in 1931. Their papers considered the spleen as to its comparative anatomy in the vertebrates, and its reservoir function and haemo­poietic activity.

It shall be endeavoured to show that an oral antiseptic with a low surface tension is necessary for good ad­sorption.

That good adsorption is necessary in order to reach the bacteria that are in the deep crevices of …

The Nutrition Of The Enamel, Alvin Herbert Grunewald

Bachelors’ Theses

Probably no other subject has been so thoroughly discussed and has had such a small amount of actual experimental work done upon it, as the question of whether the enamel does or does not receive nourishment once it is fully formed...

Blood Calcium Determinations Of Arthritic Patients, M. Wilma Delgrande

Bachelors’ Theses

The determination of Calcium in the blood of Arthritic patients as an interesting problem was suggested by Doctor J. C. Metts, physician at the Sacred Heart Sanitarium from August 1927 to September 1930, and encouraged by Doctor F. W. Mackoy, present physician at the Sanitarium.

All the experimental work was carried on in the Laboratory of the Sacred Heart Sanitarium and all the specimens of blood were taken from cases present at the Sanitarium during the time of the writing of this thesis.

The Spleen As Part Of The Lymphatic And Vascular Systems, Clement Fox

Bachelors’ Theses

A great deal of work has been expended on the study of the functions of the spleen, and the results obtained have, for the most part, been disappointing. Unlike most other organs of the body, the spleen is not easily accessible to study either by means of its physiological effects or by chemical tests to determine its functional activity, and this is especially true in regard to any secretions it may pour out. Since the spleen has no external secretion, and no known internal secretion has as yet been definitely proved the results of its activity cannot easily be studied …

The Spleen Considered With Special Reference To Its Physiology, Frank A. Dolce

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim of this essay on the structure and function of the spleen is to bring together in somewhat concise form all the available knowledge concerning this organ up to the present moment. However, time and the difficulty of obtaining valuable articles has limited this essay considerably. The first few pages while not giving a very detailed historical background may be considered quite adequate for the purpose intended. The evolutionary development of the spleen is here considered in broad outline. The microscopic anatomy of the spleen and its function in relation to the blood have been considered in greater detail …

The School Of Nursing Its Organization, Administration, And Relationship To The Hospital, Mary Berenice Beck

Bachelors’ Theses

History tells us that the nursing done in the early hospitals in the United States, a hundred years ago, was of the poorest possible type, excluding that of the religious orders. The non-sectarian hospitals were public institutions and most of the nursing was done by inmates or by the very poorest class of individuals, who could obtain no other work, and were compelled to earn a meagre livelihood in this manner. No one went to the hospital who could .afford to remain out of it, since the nursing service in the home was far better. Trained nurses did not exist, …

A Study Of The Various Factors Which Effect The Reliability Of Benedict's Quantitative Test For The Estimation Of Reducing Sugars, Grace Marie Ballard

Bachelors’ Theses

The superiority of Stanley R. Benedict's test over the use of Fehling's Solution for the quantitative determination of sugar in urine is proven by its wide use. More than half of the hospitals and physiological laboratories in the United States are now using this test. The timidity and reluctance sometimes found in human nature towards giving up old methods for new is probably the reason why there are still some who do not use it. A close determination of the sugar content of the urine of diabetic patients is absolutely necessary in treatments of diabetes. The knowledge of diabetes in …
