A Spectrophotometric Study Of The Rate Of Formation Of Violet Peroxychromate In Aqueous Solution, Stephen N. Witt Jun 1981

A Spectrophotometric Study Of The Rate Of Formation Of Violet Peroxychromate In Aqueous Solution, Stephen N. Witt

Honors Theses

The rate of formation of violet peroxychromate in aqueous solution was monitored spectrophotometrically at 540 nm. The method of initial rates enabled us to determine the exponents, x, y, and z, in the rate law for the violet species.


A Survey Of Detection Methods For Ovulation And A Proposed Method For Estrogen Determination, Maria Lanni Jun 1981

A Survey Of Detection Methods For Ovulation And A Proposed Method For Estrogen Determination, Maria Lanni

Honors Theses

A rapid, accurate method of determining the exact phase of a menstrual cycle at a given time is extremely important. This information is vital to doctors studying menstrual abnormalities and more importantly as an aid in conceptive and contraceptive decisions. Many methods based on changes in the body have been used to detect ovulation. These nonquantitative methods depend on the cyclical variations in basal boy temperature, physical and chemical properties of mucus and content of saliva. These changes are influenced by changing hormone levels. Specicially, estrogen levels rise several days prior to ovulation, therefore, methods for determining estrogen concentration in …
