Although sodium xanthates of cellulose form the basis of the cellophane and viscose rayon industries and are of great commercial importance, no reliable information about the detailed chemical structure of these xanthates exists. A considerable amount of knowledge concerning the…

Impressed by the accomplishments of mathematics and physics during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Kant was prompted to ask whether metaphysics might not profit from a consideration of at least the methods adopted by these enquiries. In the preface to…

The aim of this work is to give a coherent account of experiments designed and carried out to try to illuminate our knowledge of the behavior of humans under conditions of isolation. The particular emphasis will be on susceptibility to…

Over sixty years ago the first chemical investigations were reported on waste sulfite liquor from the pulping of wood, but despite a large volume of research in the intervening period, the sulfonation reaction and its products remain an intriguing unsolved…

Modern histology is concerned principally with attempts to correlate the precise order which exists in the organization of organs and tissues at a microscopic level with the biological functions of these structures. Out of the increased need for knowledge of…

The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis may be considered basically as the interaction of three phases, (a) the circulating blood and substances carried by it, (b) the endothelial membrane and (c) the reaction pattern of the vascular subendothelium. In this thesis, we…

This thesis is concerned with the ultrabasic rocks, especially the peridotites, throughout Northwestern Quebec. Its purpose is the correlation of information on the metamorphism, associations and age relationships of these ultrabasic rocks. This will involve a general review of the…

The applied anatomy of the cervical fascia and the traps or spaces therein have been revised and reviewed from the early part of the Nineties up to the present date. A great many investigations of both in anatomical and clinical…

A great part of our modern knowledge about the structure and composition of proteins originates from the analysis of the products formed by their hydrolysis. Since Braconnot, in 1820, hydrolysed gelatin with dilute sulfuric acid, proteins have been hydrolysed with…

Forecasts of daily maximum and minimum temperature have become of increasing importance to both agriculture and industry, and reasonable accuracy has been attained in predicting these values. The success in prediction has been largely due to the persistence of either…
