A Viscometric Determination Of The Diastatic Effect Of Amylase On Starches, Dawn Marie Ehlert

Bachelors’ Theses

Internal friction causes some liquids to flow with less freedom than true solutions of the same density. or with less freedom than water. This is attributed in part to larger particle size and prompts one to propose that when using solutions in which the dissolved substance has not been dispersed and subdivided to single molecular particles that the dissolved particles may be present as com­binations. These combinations may increase to enlarged dimensions with changes in temperature, density. electric charges. etc. Similar conditions are characteristic o starch solutions. The solutions are colloidal and vary in particle size. In some situations the …

The Dry Lake Section Of The Brazer Foundation, James S. Yolton

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Dry Lake section of the Brazer formation, totalling 3100 feet in thickness, is an excellent exposure containing an abundance of fossils many of which are well preserved. The fauna indicates that the formation is to be correlated with the Upper Iowan and Chester series of the type Mississippian system in the Mississippi Valley section. Substantial fossil evidence indicates the following correlation for the Brazer formation members. The C unit represents the western equivalent of the Middle Meramec group, i.e., the Salem and St. Louis limestones. The D member is decidedly Ste. Genevieve in general faunal aspects but, because of …

A Study Of Certain Substitution Groups, Merle Mitchell

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

This thesis purposes to study a certain group of movements which can be expressed as substitutions. The groups of movements which send a square into itself is to be studied as a group of eight substitutions on the vertices for the purpose of leading up to the real problem of this paper. From the octic group, it is natural to proceed to a study of the movements which send a cube into itself. In particular, it is the aim of this thesis to discover the group of the cube and to analyze some of its properties. There are twenty-eight rotations …

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Spectrographic analysis of limestones as a possible method of correlation of geologic formations is an altogether new line of investigation. As far as known the only previous work consists of a few analyses made by Fred Lines in his bachelor thesis work at Montana School of mines in the spring of 1942.

Concentration By Flotation Of A Complex Galena - Sphalerite - Chalcopyrite Ore From The Nine Mile District Near Missoula, Montana, Truxton J. Fisher, John L. Tokich

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

At the present time ore bodies being mined are becoming more and more complex in mineral association, thus presenting a more difficult problem in their concentration. Lead-zinc sulphide ores are among the more common ores which present such difficulties.

Permeability And Porosity Studies Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand, Wesley Edward Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In studying the Cut Bank field and its numerous wells, it is found that dry holes are surrounded by producing wells, and also that the field as a whole is very irregular; water, oil, and gas zones in many cases following no definite pattern. In some instances, this phenomenon may be due to the lensing and thinning of the producing sands, but it is evident that this is not the only factor. There­fore, the controlling factors must be porosity and permeability.

Zinc Plating Magnesium, Howard Wilbur Adam

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Magnesium and magnesium alloys are becoming more and more important in modern industry. Their use in the aviation industry has been greatly curtailed because of their comparatively poor resistance to corrosion especially in moist atmospheres. Many methods have been adopted to improve their resistance to corrosion.

The Electrodeposition Of Iron-Manganese Alloys, Earl C. Roberts

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Various electrolytes were experimented with in an attempt to deposit an iron-manganese alloy. An Alloy was obtained from a solution containing ferrous ammonium sulfate, manganous sulfate, and ammonium sulfate. Further experimentation was done in an effort to determine the optimum conditions of deposition and the highest manganese alloy which could be produced.

Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Coal was first mined in Montana in the year 1880. For the last thirty years the mining of coal in this state has been very important-with few people realizing its value. In the mineral industry, the value of the annual production of coal is exceeded by none of the non-metallics, and only by gold, silver, and copper in the metallics. At the present time the coal production of Montana is valued at about 4₁000,000.00 annually.

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 …

That is, how do pupils solve verbal problems in arithmetic? The investigation involves several related problems such as; to what extent is the pupils' method of solution influenced by irrelevant data, cues, details, and numbers used in a problem?

The Yellow Pigment In The Flower Petals Of Bird's Foot Trefoil (Lotus Corniculatus L.), David K. Blake Jr.

Honors Theses

Bird's foot trefoil is a low growing, bushy legume which is gaining popularity as a forage plant. Its small sweet-pea-like blossoms are bright yellow, bearing a few thing scarlet lines along the standard (the topmost petal). The buds are scarlet-tipped, the scarlet disappearing as the flower matures. For this investigation, the flowers were picked when mature, or nearly so, then were air-dried at 20-30 degrees celsius. The petals were not separated from the calyx.

An Investigation Of The Synthesis And Physical Properties Of Some Halogenated-Dinitromethanes, Charles O. Bostwick

Honors Theses

Work has been done on the synthesis and physical properties ot the dichlor- (1), dibrom- (2), and bromchlor- {3) dinitromethanes. However no reports could be found on the synthesis of nitromethanes containing fluorine. In this research, attempts were made to replace the bromine atoms in dibromdinitromethane with fluorine atoms by means or various fluorinating agents available. Some of the physical constants of the dibrom-, bromchlor-, and monobrom- dinitromethanes were determined in order to obtain fairly accurate values for comparison with the products from various reactions. The by-products from the synthesis of dibromd1n1tromethane were also studied.

Determination Of Heat Of Reaction In The Setting Process For Silicic Acid Gels, Mason Kronick

Honors Theses

The underlying purpose of this work was to gain a further insight into the mechanism of the setting of silicic acid gels. The primary purpose was to determine the heat of reaction during the setting process for the gels. Previous investigators have sought to determine the structure of gels by investigating the effect of certain factors as: temperature, concentration of both acid and silica, pH, and addition of soluble organic and inorganic materials on the time of set. Certain properties of the silicic acid gels have bearing on the theories for the mechanism of the setting process. These properties are …

Elasticity And Plastic Flow Of Silicic Acid Gels, Clarence Kenneth Lasher

Honors Theses

Rubber is a very common example of a substance which has both elastic and plastic properties. If a rubber band is placed over two pegs, it is stretched and behaves elastically. There will be a certain tension in the rubber band but as time goes on, this tension lessens. The rubber has undergone a certain amount of plastic flow. It has been the purpose of this research to study the analogous situation in the case of silicic acid gels.

The Effect Of Electrolytes On The Viscosity And Time Of Set Of Silicic Acid Gels, John W. Rhoades

Heats Of Solution Of Halogen Methanes In Liquid Ammonia, Robert W. Davison

Honors Theses

Introductory experiments were carried out to see just which halogen methane derivatives, if any, produce heat changes when dissolved in liquid ammonia. There are indications given in the chemical literature to expect that certain of the halogen methanes should dissolve in liquid ammonia with the evolution or absorption of heat. This present research work involved investigation of such compounds as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, bromoform, and also iodoform. Only introductory heat measurements were made. More work must be done to confirm and enlarge upon results presented here.
