Development Of Selected Mathematical Instruments Representing Angular, Logarithmic And Arithmetic Computation, Lillian L. Troxell
Development Of Selected Mathematical Instruments Representing Angular, Logarithmic And Arithmetic Computation, Lillian L. Troxell
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The Sextant in its earliest known form consisted of divided circles and compasses with simply sights. An early Creek astronomer of the second century after Christ, Claudius Ptolemaeus, or more commonly called Ptolemy, wrote a book entitled Megale Syntaxis tes Astron- omias, also known by the Arabic title Almagest. The instrument described in this book was called the Astrolable and was used to measure the angular distance between stars. It was made of two concentric vertical circles, the largest and outer circle was about sixteen inches in diameter with graduated arc; the central ring was movable and carried the two …
The Solubility Of Solid Paraffin In The Lower Molecular Weight Hydrocarbons, Paul Weber
The Solubility Of Solid Paraffin In The Lower Molecular Weight Hydrocarbons, Paul Weber
Masters Theses
"In the process of oil refining, a certain fraction of distillate from the crude oil composes the so-called wax distillate fraction from which is obtained the various lubricating oils. But the presence of the waxes and solid paraffins in these oils is very undesirable as they possess no lubricating qualities. Consequently, they must be removed from this wax distillate before the oil can be marketed"--Introduction, page 1.
A Study Of Triboluminescence, George David Read
A Study Of Triboluminescence, George David Read
Honors Theses
The study of triboluminescence, a phenomenon of no great practical value at the present time, is representative of a class of phenomena which scientists choose to call “cold light” and whose cause has for many years been without satisfactory explanation. Because of the fact that no use has been found for the action which brings about this production of light very little work has been done to determine, quantitatively, any facts regarding it, and we have only a few theories which have been advanced without sufficient experimental data to prove any of them. Hence, this work was undertaken with only …
A Direct Reading Ionization Gauge For Pressure Measurement, A Calibration Of Standard Radio Tubes As Ionization Gauge, And A Determination Of The Vapor Pressure Curve For Solid Titanium Tetrachloride, Neil B. Reynolds
Honors Theses
.The work to be described in the following pages falls naturally under three distinct headings, and will, therefore, be taken up into three separate sections.
The work on the Direct Reading Ionization Gauge as performed under the direction of Mr. C. G. Found of the General Electric Research Company and is the subject of a paper by him and the author now in the hands of the editors of the Journal of the Optical Society of America and Review of Scientific Instruments.

A Study Of The Electrical Conductivity Of Glass, William Worden Day
A Study Of The Electrical Conductivity Of Glass, William Worden Day
Honors Theses
This work was undertaken with the view of finding the alternating-current resistance of a specimen of soda-lime glass, and of determining how it changes with time, temperature, and amount of current passed. In all runs, we have restricted our work to the case of a one to one replacement of sodium ions for sodium ions by using a fused mixture of sodium-nitrate and sodium-nitrate as the electrolyte which makes contact to each side of the glass. Electrodes of both platinum and nickel were used to make contact with the fused salts.
The Evaporation Of Pyroxylin Solvents And Non-Solvents And The Effect Of Dissolved Pyroxylin On Various Types Of Evaporation Curves, Herbert Heinrich
The Evaporation Of Pyroxylin Solvents And Non-Solvents And The Effect Of Dissolved Pyroxylin On Various Types Of Evaporation Curves, Herbert Heinrich
Bachelors’ Theses
In 1833 Braconnot described a body which he called Xyloidine. This material was obtained by the action of nitric acid on starch. In 1838 Pelonze produced a similar body by treating paper with nitric acid. Although these experiments were conducted several years before those of Soh8nbein, yet we give Schonbein the honor of priority because of bis extensive studies on the new compound "explosive cotton wool". The material was produced by the combined action of nitric and sulphuric acids on cellulose. A patent was granted to him in the United States December 5, 1846, but little attention was paid to …
Summable Types Of Series, Dorothea Maria Baumann
Summable Types Of Series, Dorothea Maria Baumann
Bachelors’ Theses
By an infinite series we mean a polynomial, or a sequence of terms, each of which derives from its predecessor according to a fixed formula or process; there is a one to one correspondence, consequently between the terms of the series and the set of positive integers 1,2,----,n,----. Summation means the finding of a finite expression equivalent numerically to the given series; known functions only may occur, connected by a fixed number of steps; such a closed expression is called the "sum" of the series.
A Study Of The Preparation And Properties Of Some Metallic Soaps, Charley George Hagan
A Study Of The Preparation And Properties Of Some Metallic Soaps, Charley George Hagan
Bachelors’ Theses
Soap may be defined as the sodium or potassium salt of the acids that are found in fats. The metallic soaps are those soaps or salts of the metallic bases other than sodium or potassium. The Study of the preparation, properties and uses of metallic soaps is rather an old one, most of the research along that line being done during the last quartile of the nineteenth century. Nothing of any importance has been done of late years in this field of research. Nearly all the work has been done by foreign investigators. The metallic soaps of oleic acid are …
Studies Of Tungsten Hexachloride, Arthur Andrew Vernon
Studies Of Tungsten Hexachloride, Arthur Andrew Vernon
Honors Theses
The purpose of this thesis is to give a summary of the work done in studying the equilibrium conditions and rate of reaction of the compound tungsten hexachloride, together with some of its applications to the elimination of spots in coiled filaments. Tungsten hexachloride is a purple colored crystalline compound formed by passing chlorine over red hot tungsten in a tube from which all the air has been washed. It is rather unstable at room temperature in the presence of moist air, forming an oxychloride formula WoCl4 and then decomposing into tungsten oxide into the formula WO3 and the vapor …
Comparative Value Of Various Grog Materials For The Manufacture Of Zinc Retorts, Wei-Tung T. Hu
Comparative Value Of Various Grog Materials For The Manufacture Of Zinc Retorts, Wei-Tung T. Hu
Masters Theses
"As before stated, this present investigation, of which this thesis covers only a part, undertakes to study the comparative values of various grog materials for the manufacture of zinc retorts, having as its object to find better grog materials for the purpose than those commonly in use at the present time, and to determine the best proportions of bond clay to use with each kind of grog"--Scope of Investigation, page 4.
A Specific Gravity Study Of Some Of The Southeast Missouri Lead Ores And Tailings, Robert Gibson O'Meara
A Specific Gravity Study Of Some Of The Southeast Missouri Lead Ores And Tailings, Robert Gibson O'Meara
Masters Theses
"The object of this investigation was to study some of the Southeast Missouri lead ores and tailings to trace the freeing of galena through all of the screen sizes. It was also desired to determine the efficiency of recovery with the present treatment and, whether or not a change to finer crushing would be advisable. In order to isolate parts of different specific gravity in the ores and tailings, heavy liquids were used"--Object of Investigation, page 2.
A Study Of The Equilibrium Between Lead, Lead Iodide And Iodine, William Worden Day
A Study Of The Equilibrium Between Lead, Lead Iodide And Iodine, William Worden Day
Honors Theses
Although considerable work was done in 1924 by N. B. l Reynolds on the equilibrium between Lead, Lead Iodide and Iodine, there is, at the present time, no accurate data as to vapor pressure of Iodine over Lead Iodide at various temperatures. The same is likewise true of almost all metal halides and this work was undertaken to get such data as could be computed 1 by direct pressure measurements. The fact that these vapors are very corrosive makes it impossible to use a McLeod gauge or any other common form of manometer to measure the pressure directly.
A Study Of The Process Of Electrical Conduction In Films Of India Ink, Henry Adolph Letteron
A Study Of The Process Of Electrical Conduction In Films Of India Ink, Henry Adolph Letteron
Honors Theses
The grid leak used in radio engineering often is an ink film. Is it used as a path of escape of electrons from the grid. This path is necessary, for electrons collect on the grid and cause it to become negatively charged. Since a vacuum tube will not function unless the grid is charged positively with respect to the filiament, the necessity of the grid leak is obvious. The rate of absorption of electrons by the grid, and of their removal by the grid leak can be controlled to a certain extent by varying this grid leak resistance.

The Sugar Content Of Blood, Ben King Harned
The Sugar Content Of Blood, Ben King Harned
Masters Theses
Summary and Conclusions:
1 We have shown that the picric acid methods are not accurate.
2. We have shown that the titrimetric methods are not adapted to clinical use.
3. We have demonstrated that the Folin-Wu method, which gives the same results
as the titrimetric methods, and is the most accurate method used in clinics,
gives results approximately 15 per cent too high, because of interfering
substances.
4. We have developed a mercuric nitrate method, specific for blood sugar by
virtue of the fact that it precipitates interfering substances before making the
determination.
5. We have developed an acetone method, …
A Granular Briquette Resistance Furnace For The Electrothermic Dry Distillation Of Zinc Ores, Milton E. Countryman

Masters Theses
[This thesis] "describes experiments carried on at the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, cooperating with the School of Mines and Metallurgy of the University of Missouri, which had for their purpose the development of a 'granular briquet [sic] resistance furnace' for the electrothermic dry distillation of zinc ores"--page v.
Effect Of The Size Of Particles Of Zinc Ore And Carbon Upon The Rate Of Reduction Of Zinc Ore By Carbon, Keith Oxley Alexander
Effect Of The Size Of Particles Of Zinc Ore And Carbon Upon The Rate Of Reduction Of Zinc Ore By Carbon, Keith Oxley Alexander
Masters Theses
"In the retort smelting of zinc ores one of the chief metallurgical problems is to obtain as complete a reduction of the zinc as is consistent with economical operation. Among the factors influencing the completeness of reduction are the temperature and time of distillation, the form in which the zinc exists in the ore, the form of carbon used as reducer, and the size of the particles or ore and reducer"--Introduction, page 1.

Arsenic, antimony, and tin constitute the so-called tin group, a subdivision of the hydrogen sulphide, or second group, in qualitative analysis.
Effect Of Various Factors On The Rate Of Reduction Of Zinc Ferrite, Calamine, And Willemite By Carbon, Foster Cary Nix
Effect Of Various Factors On The Rate Of Reduction Of Zinc Ferrite, Calamine, And Willemite By Carbon, Foster Cary Nix
Masters Theses
"Zinc ores containing large amounts of ferric oxide, calamine and willemite have been known for a long time among practical zinc metallurgists to be more difficult to reduce than ores of the same type but free from the above named compounds. This has been thought to be due to the high temperatures necessary for the reduction of the zinc ferrite and the zinc silicates by carbon. The ferrite is formed both during the roasting of sulphide ores and during distillation in the retorts, while calamine and willemite are introduced as such in the ores. The amount of ferrite formed during …
The Equilibrium Between Lead, Lead Iodide And Iodine, Neil Bailey Reynolds
The Equilibrium Between Lead, Lead Iodide And Iodine, Neil Bailey Reynolds
Honors Theses
The fact of the instability of lead iodide at moderately high temperatures is well known. This work was undertaken in order to discover, if possible, the degree of dissociation, its change with the temperature, and to collect any other important facts connected with the equilibrium.
A Study Of Light Metals And Alloys At Low Temperatures, Donald E. Higgins
A Study Of Light Metals And Alloys At Low Temperatures, Donald E. Higgins
Historical Dissertations & Theses
Although the determination of the strength of metals and alloys at ordinary temperatures is an everyday matter, very little work has been done to determine their strength and elasticity at very low temperatures. Mallock and Schaefer have investigated certain metals at the temperature of liquid air, and have deduced formulae to express the relation between elasticity and temperature, while Andrade has given an expression for the flow of metals under large constant stress. This work was intended in part to find out if their formulae would apply to the very light alloys used here. Another object was to find, if …

The Disintegration Of Refractory Brick By Carbon Monoxide, Wilbur J. Darby
The Disintegration Of Refractory Brick By Carbon Monoxide, Wilbur J. Darby
Masters Theses
"In experimental work carried on at East St. Louis, Illinois in 1916 and 1917, with a furnace of commercial size for the electrothermic dry distillation of zinc ores, a difficulty that developed was the destruction of the firebrick lining in certain parts of the large condenser. The condenser was satisfactory in other ways, yielding a large proportion of the zinc as liquid metal, with no blue powder; but in order to obtain a proper length of service from the condenser it became necessary to find and overcome the cause of the disintegration of the lining ... it will be evident …
The Effect Of Sulphur Dioxide Gas On Sweet Potatoes, Cotton, And Sorghum Cane Plants, Milburn Leo Dorris
The Effect Of Sulphur Dioxide Gas On Sweet Potatoes, Cotton, And Sorghum Cane Plants, Milburn Leo Dorris
Bachelors Theses
"The chief allegation made by many of the complainants sic in the vicinity of the zinc smelters is that the emanations from the stacks are detrimental to the yield of the crops, especially Sweet Potatoes and Cotton. They claim that on account of the leaves being burned or bleached, the entire plant is poisoned and weakened and the yield is thereby reduced. It was even claimed by some that the presence of the smoke in the atmosphere around the plant has a weakening effect in that it is cumulative, and, while it does not always visibly show, yet the general …
The Equilibrium Of The Reaction Zn + Co₂ = Zno + Co, Clarence Ware Burkhart
The Equilibrium Of The Reaction Zn + Co₂ = Zno + Co, Clarence Ware Burkhart
Masters Theses
"Many attempts have been made in the last twenty years to smelt zinc ores in the electric furnace. The disadvantages of the present retort process have been discussed so often that they need not be dwelt upon here. The principle ones are, the low thermal efficiency of the retort furnace, low metal recoveries, small smelting units necessary, short life of the retorts and the difficulty of treating impure and low grade ores. Electric smelting offers remedies for most of these difficulties"--Introduction, page 1.
The Action Of Tan Bark In The Manufacture Of White Lead By The Old Dutch Process, Elmer List
The Action Of Tan Bark In The Manufacture Of White Lead By The Old Dutch Process, Elmer List
Masters Theses
"This investigation was undertaken because there is very little definite information in print, regarding the micro-organisms which play such an important part in the Old Dutch Process for manufacturing white lead. The statements concerning this process are very general in character. For instance, one book states, "The first action which goes on is to convert blue lead into basic acetate of lead. This is brought about by the heat of the fermenting tan, causing the evolution of acetic acid from the liquid of the pots." Albert H. Hooker in a little treatise on white lead says: "As it stands now, …
Investigations In Colloidal Phenol, Charles James Millar
Investigations In Colloidal Phenol, Charles James Millar
Masters Theses
"In making some experiments with various colloids it was noticed that phenol and water seemingly formed a colloid, so it was deemed advisable to experiment farther and see if this fact could be established. The references on this subject vary widely and for this reason some of them are given here. Ostwald recognised [sic] the colloid state of a phenol-water mixture at the critical temperature but evidently failed to see the possibility of the phenol-water colloid at all temperatures. In the following article I will try to show that the phenol-water mixture forms a colloid, not only at the critical …
The Middle Ordovician Section In East Central Missouri, Morris James Ingerson, Josiah Bridge
The Middle Ordovician Section In East Central Missouri, Morris James Ingerson, Josiah Bridge
Masters Theses
"One of the most serious difficulties confronting anyone working on stratigraphic problems in the Ozark area is the lack of detailed faunal lists of the various formations. A great deal of general work has been done, but very few detailed faunal studies have ever been published, and correlation of the Missouri section with sections in adjoining states is often difficult.
In a recent paper, Dake has discussed the origin and correlation of the St. Peter sandstone. In this study he found considerable difficulty in correlating the various formations above the St. Peter, and at his suggestion, the present study was …
The Hydrogen Ion Concentration In The Liquefaction Of Gelatine, Frederick William Shaw
The Hydrogen Ion Concentration In The Liquefaction Of Gelatine, Frederick William Shaw
Masters Theses
"Gelatine is the most typical of the reversible colloids, a solution containing it being very fluid when hot, but setting to a clear stiff gel on cooling, which again becomes fluid at various temperatures, depending on the concentration of the gelatine"--Introduction, page 1.
