Color., Bruce B. Vance

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Color, any attempt to apply the scientific principles of color vision in the making of a picture must surely fail if it be not granted at the out set that it is only to a limited degree that those principles can apply. Color appreciation is as much a psychical as a physiological, and indeed, it is psychical not only with regard to the objective impression itself, but also with regard to the subjective, the associational mental process. Previous knowledge and training, experience traditions, the association of color impressions with impressions previously received through other senses and stored away as memories, …

The Preparation Of Certain Inorganic And Organic Compounds Which May Be Of Use In Mineralogical Separations, Clarence Jay Black

Masters Theses

"In the work with minerals, there has been many mechanical means devised whereby the ores could be separated from the gangue and other material. Among those means which are used to-day, especially in the laboratory tests upon minerals, to quickly determine the value of an ore, heavy liquids have become quite popular. This means of mechanical separation is merely to place finely ground ore containing particles of varying density into a liquid of heavier density than the greater portion of the mineral, which will allow the heavier portions to sink and the lighter to float, which is usually gangue. This …

Heavy Minerals In The Roubidoux And Other Sandstones Of The Ozark Region (Mo.), Cletus Daniel Cordry

Masters Theses

"In this study an attempt has been made to determine the usefulness of heavy minerals for correlation of formations over a limited area, in the heart of the Ozark uplift in southeast Missouri. The Roubidoux formation, already definitely correlated by other means, has been rather systematically sampled throughout the area, and the heavy minerals determined to ascertain their dependability for correlation purposes. Several samples from other horizons have been studied for comparison with the Roubidoux. Also, within the area studied there are numerous isolated patches of sandstone, the horizons of which have not been definitely determined. Samples from a few …

A Study Of The Baking Process Of Oil Varnishes And Enamels, Roy Herman Kienle

Honors Theses

Before any object which has been given a coat of varnish or enamel is ready for use, the varnish film must be converted to the solid state. This is accomplished either by allowing the film to air dry or by baking it. For a considerable number of purposes air drying is satisfactory. However, in some of our largest industrial applications, as for example in portions of the electrical and automobile industries where the most severe requirements are demanded of a varnish film, baking is extensively used. In certain of these manufacturing operations, as in the manufacture of enameled wire, and …

Studies Of Alkali Metals, Lester Clark Lewis

Honors Theses

Studies of the alkali metals have directness that leads to progress in both our general knowledge of chemistry and in common usefulness, which so encourages and rewards the advance of pure knowledge.

As commonly studied, in combination, they react so simply that we study them when we look for simplicity.

The Effect Of Aldehydes On The Solutions Of Iron Wire In Hydrochloric Acid, Mary Margaret Bannen

Bachelors’ Theses

The destruction of iron by corrosion, under the influence of natural agencies, is far more rapid than the decay of wood and other materials of construction. Were it not for iron, the erection of large works of engineering would be impossible. Their very size and consequent cost represent a large sum of human energy. This is, after all, the only true foundation for wealth and it becomes a duty to preserve iron from decay.

The Picric Acid Method Of Sugar Determinations As Applied To Solutions Containing Maltose And Lactose, John J. Hennecke

Bachelors’ Theses

Lewis and Benedict based their method of sugar determination upon the reaction which takes place when a glucose solution is heated with a few C.C. of picric acid to which a small amount of alkali has been added.

The Oxidation Of Mineral Oils And The Effect Of Positive And Negative Catalyst On The Oxidation Process, Arthur John Sherburne

Honors Theses

Although the readiness with which petroleum oils oxidize when exposed. to heat and air is well-known, and a great many so-called "service and "sludging" tests have been devised to ascertain and predict empirically, the value of oils when put to use as lubricants in automobiles, turbines, etc., or in transformers and condensers as heat absorbers and dielectric, little has been known of the chemistry of the oxidation of oil and of the quantitative effect on this oxidation of various catalytic substances. An ever increasing interest in petroleum chemistry can be noted by a reference to the literature of the past …

Equilibrium In The System Calcium, Calcium Hydride, Hydrogen, Douglas Small

Honors Theses

Moissan first showed in a qualitative way that hydrogen and calcium form a combination which is very little dissociated below 700 degrees C. He also showed that this compound can be expressed by the chemical formula CaH2 and seemed to be a well defined compound. Gautier makes a statement that calcium hydride begins to dissociate as soon as the hydrides of strontium and barium (about 675 degrees C.) Moldenhauer and Roll-Hansen made a systematic study of the dissociation from 780 degrees C. to 1027 degrees C. These workers point out that the equilibrium pressures may be masked by the action …

Selenium Sulfide -- A New Detector For Mercury Vapor, Birger Wilhelm Nordlander

Honors Theses

A new indicator for mercury vapor of extremely high sensitivity has been found; indeed, there seems to be practically no lower limit to the concentration that can be detected. This method is based on the reaction between active selenium sulfide and the vapor. The selenium sulfide is applied as a coating to paper and the coated paper is blackened on exposure to the air containing mercury vapor, the degree of blackening being a function of time of exposure, concentration of the mercury and other factors, which can be definitely controlled. Apparatus has been developed by means of which it is …
