Gnathabelodon Thorpei, Gen. Et Sp. Nov. A New Mud-Grubbing Mastodon, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, George F. Sternberg

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum

In February, 1932, while opening a gravel pit to get material for highway construction, the skull, tusks, and mandible of a new longirostral mastodont were found by Robert Arnold on his ranch, Sec. 24, T. 12 S., R. 22 W., 1 1/2 miles due east of Ogallah, Trego County, western Kansas. This point is located about 20 miles west and three miles north of Hays, the seat of the Fort Hays Kansas State College, in the museum of which the above mentioned specimen is mounted and exhibited. When unexpectedly exposed by Mr. Arnold and his associates, the great skull was …

On The Summability Of A Certain Class Of Series Of Jacobi Polynomials, A. P. Cowgill

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

The result obtained in this paper is as follows:
The series Σnⁱ[((p + 1)(p +3)…(p +2n -1)) ÷(2ⁿn!) X^((p-1)/2)_n (x), where X_n^(p-1)/2(x) (hereafter indicated simply by X_n) is a symmetric Jacobi polynomial p >-1, and i a positive integer, is summable (C, k),k>i—1/2, for the range -1 <x<1.

Anhydrous Alcohol And The Vapor Phase Method Of Preparing It, Cleetis Brown

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Since the almost universal laboratory method of preparing absolute alcohol requires considerable time and trouble, gives a low yield of alcohol and leaves a distilling flask badly clogged with hydrated lime, Professor S.S, Kistler and I undertook the following research in the hope that we might devise a new method that would be both rapid and easy to perform.

Upon reviewing the possibilities, it seemed evident that any method to be rapid would have to involve drying In the vapor phase. Diffusion in a liquid being so slow that when a drying agent is placed in the liquid phase an …

Selenium In Proteins From Toxic Foodstuffs, Edgar Page Painter

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The importance of the selenium problem has been established. Knight (1) in an address before The Association of Official Agricultural Chemists summarized the progress made on the problem, conservatively emphasized its importance, and stressed the need for extensive research. It is a paramount problem not only in South Dakota, but in many other states as well.

A Preliminary Study Of The Micro-Fauna Of Certain Paleozoic Formations Of Montana, George Powe

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The study of the micro-fauna of Montana formations has been almost entirely neglected. Because the petroleum industry of this state has not felt the necessity for using micro-paleontology in its sub-surface correlations, the science has been but little used. The Montana Power Company has had an examination made of some of its well cuttings by a competent micro-paleontologist who found some foraminifera in Mesozoic sediments. However, no investiga­tions have been made to determine the presence and character of the micro-fauna of the Paleozoic formations of Montana.

The Effects Of Zinc Sulphate, Manganese Sulphate, And Iron Sulphate On The Lead Storage Cell., George A. Mccracken

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The lead storage battery as it is used today is made up of the pasted type plates of lead dioxide, the anode, and sponge lead, the cathode, and wooden or hard rubber separators, which serve to insulate these from one another. In manufacturing these, it is desirable to keep them free from impurities.

A New Fossil Peccary, Prosthennops Niobrarensis, From Brown County, Nebraska, Edwin H. Colbert

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum

During the summer of 1929, the writer, accompanied by Mr. Paul O. McGrew of the University of Nebraska, discovered during the course of excavations for fossil vertebrates in northern Brown County, Nebraska, a fairly complete peccary skull referable to the genus Prosthennops. This skull, due to its several unusual characters, as well as to its fair degree of completeness, would seem to warrant a special and a rather detailed description. Consequently the specimen has been kindly turned over to me by Dr. E. H. Barbour, Director of the Nebraska State Museum, not only for the purpose of the present …

Some Contributions To Iodometric Technique, Justin Kimber Dyche

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Analysis is a very important branch of chemistry, for it is such a practical part of the science. Analysis is itself divided into two parts. Qualitative analysis discovers what things are present in the material in question. Quantitative analysis then determines how much of each ingredient is present. This thesis considers a limited section of quantitative analysis.

This thesis deals with the use of iodine in volumetric analysis, which is called either iodimetry or iodometry. In this type of analysis, the iodine is used in solution and reacts with some other material, also in solution, and takes up electrons. That …
