The Calcite Veins Of The Livingston Formation, John Moore Conrow

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

An interesting group of calcite veins occur near Livingston Montana in a zone about eight miles wide and forty miles long in the edge of the Plains region of Montana in front of the Main ranges. The zone extends from the Boulder River south of Big Timber, through Springdale and Hunters Hot Springs, to Potter's Basin just north of Wilsall in Park County. The group of veins is particularly interesting because they cut relatively flat lying strata, suggest a structural relation­ship to one another, and they are nearly pure calcite.

The present investigation was to determine the position of the …

A Microscopic Study Of Some Volcanic Rocks In The Vicinity Of Butte, Evan Gustafson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The rhyolite rocks in the vicinity of Big Butte present a very interesting, though complicated study. It seems that no extensive or conclusive work has ever been done upon these extrusives.

I have found that the rhyolites present a very interesting problem, especially microscopically, and that no doubt an intensive study along these lines will solve the problems concerning age relations of different flows and origin of the magma that produced the material for emanations.

Methods Of Obtaining Asymptotes, Paul Sweetland

Master's Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to present in logical order the more important methods of obtaining asymptotes. In several cases where two or more different methods for obtaining the same type of asymptotes were found the simpler method is given first and then the more difficult method. Most of the simpler methods are based on Analytic Geometry, while the more difficult are based on the Calculus.

Effect Of Impurities Upon Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of Zinc Sulphate Solution, Robert Jess Smith

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

There are many elements which are detrimental to the current efficiency in the electrolysis of zinc sulphate solution. Fortunately the majority of these elements are easily removed in the purification process and cause no further trouble. The elements that are likely to cause trouble in ordinary plant operations are antimony, arsenic, cobalt, nickel, manganese and germanium. The following tests were made to determine the mutual effect on the current efficiency when several of the impurities were present in the electrolyte.

A Study Of The Composition Of Zinc Complex Cyanide Solutions By The Conductometric Method, Robert James Woody

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

As the method or analysis used up to the present time has failed to give quantitative results in determining the composition of zinc cyanide baths, conductometric methods were adopted in this study. Supplementary tests were also carried out in this investigation.

Bird Studies Of The Bear River Marshes, Ernest W. Parkinson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The establishment of the Bear River Bay Bird Refuge has created for the state of Utah an immense and valuable biological field, a veritable paradise for naturalist and sportsman alike. The naturalist wants a place to study wild life and the sportsman desires game. With the proper control of open seasons on wild fowl the hunting instinct and incentive for the sport should be satisfied for the sportsman. To the naturalist this region will open up bountiful treasures of knowledge that is to be gained only by intense and prolonged scientific study.

Mathematical Instruments, Marguerite Massey

Theses & Honors Papers

The selection of a subject for my honors work was determined not only by the desire to gain a broader knowledge of mathematics but also to make a study of something that would be of value in teaching in the state. From a variety of possible topics, the one, mathematical instruments seemed most interesting and appealing. This broad subject had to be narrowed down and made more specific. It was decided to limit it mainly to those instruments which might be used in the teaching of mathematics, these falling into two groups, those which can be made and those which …

On The Element Of Decomposition Of A Doubly Periodic Function Of The Second Kind, M. A. Basoco

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Hermite has shown that a meromorphic function which satisfies periodicity relations of the form (1) F (z + 2ω) = μF (z), F (z + 2ω’) = μ’F (z), where ω’/ω = a+ib, b>0, and μ, μ' are independent of z, maybe expressed in terms of the function v{z + X) (2) G(z) = σ(z + λ) ÷ σ(z) + σ(λ) eρz, and its derivatives, in which λ, ρ are suitably determined constants and σ(u) is the …

Determination Of The Limits And Accuracy Of Potassium Ferricyanide As An Outside Indicator In The Determination Of Iron And A Comparison Of This Outside Indicator With Diphenylamine As An Inside Indicator, Eugene D. Burr

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the volumetric course as offered by the Department of Chemistry of South Dakota State College for the spring term of 1931, we experienced difficulties in the methods which we were using for the determination of iron. The general method used was that of Penny's, using an outside indicator of potassium ferricyanide, and titrating with potassium dichromate.

The Preparation And Specific Gravity Of Pure Formic Acid And Its Aqueous Solutions, Leo Henry Merchie

Masters Theses

"Formic acid, the lowest member of the fatty acid series, was obtained as early as the seventeenth century by distilling ants with water. Other methods were later found after the correct constitution of the acid became known. This acid is not difficult to prepare in a water solution, but it is difficult to obtain in the anhydrous state...The purpose of this work is to study the various methods of preparing anhydrous formic acid, to improve a method for preparing the anhydrous acid, and to correct specific gravity tables for aqueous solutions of formic acid"--Introduction, page 1-2.

A Study Of The Acoustics Of Some Stockton Auditoriums And Rooms, Glen Halik

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Though the original purpose of this thesis was to investigate the cause for criticisms of the acoustical properties of the College Auditorium, it has been enlarged to a study of other Stockton Auditoriums and rooms with the idea of securing a technique of acoustical analysis similar to that of acoustical engineers in the industries. It was planned at first to set up an oscillator and reverberation meter, but it was found that the apparatus expense would be quite prohibitive. This research was therefore confined to noise meter measurements and reverberation calculations, and includes much of architectural and engineering branches. However, …

A Dictionary Of Mathematical Terms For High School Students, Matilda O. Iverson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In compiling and writing this dictionary the needs of the high school student and teacher interested in mathematics have been kept constantly in mind. The mathematics of the high school is perhaps the simplest of its kind and yet very few textbooks carefully define all technical terms as they are introduced. The thoughtful student may turn to an abridged or unabridged dictionary but will find in most cases that the definitions of the terms are vague, often misleading, and in some cases not given.

The words in the vocabulary have been arranged in alphabetical order so that the reference to …

Steric Hindrance In The Ketonic Splitting Of Substituted Acetoacetic Ester, Claude Stanley Abshier

Masters Theses

"The phenomenon of steric hindrance has been observed and investigated in a variety of reactions, most of which have been with aromatic compounds. In this branch of study the speeds of reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, α-mono-methyl-ethyl-acetoacetate, α-mono-ethyl-ethyl-acetoacetate, α-mono-propyl-ethyl-acetoacetate in the presence of 0.05 and 0.10 normal hydrochloric acids have been investigated at temperatures between 60⁰C. and 90⁰C. An attempt has been made to explain the results obtained"--Introduction, page 1.
