A Study of Reactions Directed Toward the Preparation of Some Alkoxybiphenyls by the Williamson Synthesis
There is a large group of substituted ethers among the biphenyls which needs to be synthesized, particularly with a view toward obtaining asymmetric carbons in alkyl groups attached to the biphenyl nucleus. This necessitates ... -
A Study of Selected Nitronium Complexes of Nitryl Chloride
It appeared rather logical that by combining certain anhydrides with nitryl chloride in bromine trifluoride solution, the respective nitronium complexes could be directly produced, avoiding the difficult conditions encountered ... -
A Study of Simple Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics Models: Molecular Motors and Traffic Jams (thesis)
Traditionally, the objective of science has been to understand the fundamental simplicity and elegance of the laws of nature. The advancement of the human race has for a long time been predicated on the scientific discovery ... -
A Study of Some of the Properties of Tetrabromoanthranilic Acid and Tetrachloroanthranilic Acid
The original purpose of this thesis was twofold; to prepare tetrabromoanthranilic acid and study its chemical reactions, and to study the reactions of tetrachloroanthranilic acid, especially its behavior in diazotization. ... -
A Study of the Absolute Entropy of the Chloride Ion in Concentrated Solutions as Determined by Thermocell Measurements
This research was undertaken as a corollary to the work done by E . S. McKee (1) at Johns Hopkins University in 1950 with the purpose of "determining the entropy of a single aqueous ion. In doing so, we wished to elucidate ... -
A Study of the Double Chlorids of Potassium and Arsenic
As the antimony in the black salt of Setterberg has the valence of four, it appears to be a member of the series of hexahalids . . . The primary object of this work was to prepare, if possible, the corresponding salt of ... -
A Study of the Globular Cluster NGC 7089 Using RR Lyrae Distance Measurements (thesis)
Globular clusters are gravitationally bound groups of stars averaging about 13 billion years old. Since the universe itself is around 14 billion years old, globular clusters can give valuable insight into the formation ... -
A Study of the Kinetics of the Esterification of Benzoic Acid with Methyl Alcohol
The reaction between methyl alcohol and benzoic �acid to form methyl benzoate is perhaps the most fundamental of all esterification reactions. . . . The forward as well as the reverse reaction is catalyzed by protons ... -
A Study of the Oxidation of Naphtosulfonic Acid to the Quinone
The purpose of this experiment was to determine, to a certain extent, whether the method of preparation of the 8-sulfonic acid of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone as carried out by Aaron Bendich and Erwin Chargaff [1] is of ... -
A Study of the Proceedures [sic.] for a Laboratory Course in General Organic Chemistry
This Thesis is a study of certain organic reactions with a view of adapting them to use in the laboratory instruction in a course in general Organic Chemistry. P:roject No.1, pages 1 thru 5, deals with the formation of a ... -
A Study of Type I Hypersensitivity (Anaphylaxis)
Type I hypersensitivity reactions were studied in vitro using the Schulz-Dale Assay. This assay involved the suspension of pieces of sensitized mouse ileum (smooth muscle of the gut) in an organ bath to allow exposure to ... -
Subprime Mortgage Crisis: Impact, Causes and Solutions for Low-Income Borrowers
This paper focuses on the subprime mortgage crisis and its relationship to low-income borrowers, families, and neighborhoods. It examines how and why the current crisis developed, the implications to poor families and ... -
Subversive Texts, Randomness & Fright, and the Narrative Deconstructure of Thomas Pychon's Gravity's Rainbow
Our inability to paraphrase and reconstruct this book's 11 story, 11 however, is not simply a product of its length and complexity. Rather, the book is structured in such a way that it makes this kind of coherent recall ... -
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Evaluated as Epigenetically Maintained Historical Trauma (thesis)
The mystery and devastation of losing a child like this has led to SIDS being widely studied, through lenses of both human biology and human behavior. This thesis will contribute to this work through two goals: First, I ... -
Summer Programs for Children in Appalachia
The Appalachian region receives little national attention or funds to alleviate its rampant poverty. Rawls's concept of fair equality of opportunity should be the goal of programs that work to alleviate poverty. Christian ... -
Summer Slide: The Need for Summer Intervention for Low Income Elementary School Students
Much of the literature and policies aimed at elementary education focus on making improvements to the calendar school year; however, one of the most important areas of elementary education reform to consider is the loss ... -
Summer Soldier, Sunshine Patriot: Liberalism and the Crisis of Military Service in the United States
This paper is not about politics or military strategy. It is not about international relations or just war theory. This is a paper about America on the sidelines. This is a paper about a nation at the mall, even as a tiny ... -
