On The Production Of Polyploidy With Paradichlorbenzene, Mary Anne Carey

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject of polyploidy has been of scientific interest for some time. The true nature of the cause of this phenomenon has been disputed ever since its existence was made known. Polyploidy is the condition in which the haploid number of the chromosomes, contained within the nucleus, is multiplied so that there is a higher number of chromosomes present than there is in the typical diploid cell of that particular plant or animal. The diploid number of the chromois known as 2n, therefore, higher multiples would be referred to as 3n, 4n, 8n etc. Some plants or animals have one …

Polyhydroxyamines, John Wotiz

Master's Theses

"The industrial growth of aliphatic chemistry, which has constituted one of the outstanding advances of recent years, has been almost entirely in the field of hydrocarbons and their simpler chlorine and oxygen derivatives… Representative of the aliphatic amines, possibly only the methyl, amyl and ethanol amines may be said to have been commercially available. And yet the field of aliphatic nitrogen chemistry possesses the greatest variety of known aliphatic compounds; there are at least several nitrogen analogs of each oxygen compound, often more stable, more definitely characterized, and more reactive chemically." Relatively few aminoalcohols, especially polyhydroxyaminoalcohols have been prepared. Due …

Recent developments in the field of microchemistry have aroused the necessity of accurate micro-methods for density determinations. Such methods have been developed by various investigators and some of them found their application in re­ search and industry, wherever the saving of material and time was an essential problem.

The purpose of this work is to compare all the methods of micro-density determinations found in literature, check their accuracy and simplicity and find their limitations and advantages.

The Effect Of The Ph On The Viscosity Of Various Gelatin Solutions, Theodore C. Kraus

Bachelors’ Theses

Tremendous research has been done in recent years In the field of the protein colloids. Our small, but nevertheless important knowledge of the protein colloids is due to such eminent investigators as Loeb, Kruyt, Freundlich, and Hardy, to name only a few. They have presented to the scientific world valuable experiments and reports of their work. However, much remains to be accomplished in spite of their achievements. The fact that the whole of the organic life processes concerns Itself with colloidal phenomena, particularly the reactions of large aggregates of protein particles, is indicative that the field is widespread in its …

An Investigation Into The Recovery Of Indium From Fume Residue, Emery J. Turner

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Several months were required to produce a single gram of indium. Consequently, the industrial history of the metal is extremely short. In view of the unique properties that indium has demonstrated in this short period, it is probable that indium is still in its early stage of development. However, the commer­cial applications of the metal are well established and indium is now produced on a commercial scale. It is obtainable as the metal or in solution for electroplat­ing.
