Synthesis And Properties Of Diorganomagnesium Compounds, Conrad William Kamienski

Doctoral Dissertations

Introduction: Although dialkylmagnesium compounds have been known for over a hundred years, relatively little effort has been directly expended on these reagents per se; much of what we know about magnesium alkyls has been an outgrowth of previous studies concerned with the nature of the Grignard reagent. Only recently has any effort been made to elaborate on methods for preparing these reagents, to determine carefully their physical and chemical properties, and to develop practical uses for these reagents. It has been the purpose of the present study to review the presently known methods of preparation of dialkylmagnesium compounds, to …

Conductive Sphere On A Charged Conductive Plane, Birney Robert Fish

Masters Theses

Statement of the Problem: If a conductive sphere is placed in contact with a semi-infinite, conductive plane, the configuration constitutes a three-dimensional equipotential surface. Assuming an isolated plane to be electrically charged to a known surface charge density (σ_°) originally, it is desired to determine the effect produced by placing a sphere on the plane. Specifically, the purpose of this investigation is to determine the force exerted on the sphere normal to the plane, the total charge acquired by the sphere and the perturbation in the electrical field due to its presence on the plane.

Minimal Weinstein Discs In A Subspace, William Lewis Morris

Doctoral Dissertations

The basic features of Clanton's algorithm are reviewed and it is shown that the analysis of ρ(A; Sx) leads to a refinement of the algorithm. A new algorithm to solve Ay = λy is the concluding item in this investigation

Lithostratigraphy Of Conasauga Group Between Rogersville And Kingsport, Tennessee, Walter Lee Helton

Doctoral Dissertations

Conclusions: The following conclusions are presented from the study of the lithostratigraphy of the Conasauga Group in Carter and Stanley valleys:

1. The Conasauga Group presents classic examples of isopic and heteropic facies.

2. The lithology of the individual formations of the Conasauga Group is remarkably similar in both thrust belts.

3. The carbonate units of the Conasauga Group thicken eastward and southeastward and the claystone units thicken westward and northwestward.

4. The Pumpkin Valley Shale is a transitional unit which has a Rome lithology in the lower half of the formation and Conasauga-type lithologies in the upper one-half of …
