Steinhaus Graphs and Pendent Vertices
Steinhaus graphs have many interesting properties, yet there are many things about them that are not yet known. In [1 ], a formula was discovered for the total number of Steinhaus graphs on n vertices with at least one ... -
The Study and Preparation of Iodine Monochloride with Various Amines
Work has previously been done with iodine , bromine, iodine monochloride, and iodine monobromide, whioh act as Lewis acids, toward benzene, pyridine, and bipyridine. We began a study of reactions of iodine monoohloride ... -
A Study of Character: The Antigone Motif in Sophocles, Anouilh & Brecht
This paper is a twofold discussion of character. It is first a study in comparative drama, a comparison of the characters and plots of three versions of Antigone. This discussion deals primarily with empirical rather than ... -
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 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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The Synthesis of 1, 2, 3, Triphenylpropane
The preparation of symmetrical triphenyl-propane has been carried out by several different methods, principally by German chemists. Altho there is very little in the chemical literature on this compound, the method most ... -
The Synthesis of 4-carboxybenzenesulfhydrazide and an Investigation of Its Use in the Resolution of 3-methylcyclohexanone
The present problem was undertaken to provide an intermediate for the resolution of racemic carbonyl compounds. But before continuing, a short discussion of the different types of reagents and a brief explanation of the ... -
The Synthesis of Diisobutylethylcarbinol
Interest in the general problem of the synthesis of tie higher molecular weight, (C10 and higher ), tertiary alcohols was s timulated by the discovery that in a routine laboratory preparation involving the condensation of ...
