The object of this study is the synthesis of trans-cyclopentane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid. Five procedures designed for the synthesis of
this trans diacid are described in the literature. The procedure
devised by Perkin in 1887, Fuson and Cole in 1938, and by Brenner
in 1961 were investigated to determine which of...
The biochemical composition of ten species of estuarine phytoplankton
was determined. Studies were made of their growth in
various culture media and of their relative value as food for oyster
larvae. Nine of the species were isolated from Yaquina Bay, Oregon.
An attempt was made to select species which commonly...
Carrots were cooked to the just tender stage in a saucepan and
in a pressure saucepan for appropriate lengths of time to make them
approximately equal in tenderness as determined by a panel of
judges and the Kramer Shear Press. A third lot of carrots was
cooked in a pressure...

A cell-free system for assessing the role of S-adenosyl-methionine
in the methylation of homocysteine deriving the methyl
group from serine has been developed. No role for S-adenosyl-methionine
could be shown in the in vitro reaction
The enzyme serine transhydroxymethylase has been studied in
crude and partially purified cell extracts. Evidence...
This investigation was undertaken to determine 1) the effects
of various carbon sources in defined media on pectolytic enzyme production,
2) the effect of the incubation period on pectolytic enzyme
activity, and 3) the development of improved methods for the purification
and characterization of the polygalacturonases (PG) produced
by Fusarium...
2-Carboxy-3(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)propionic acid, 3-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)propionic acid and 3-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)propionyl chloride
were prepared in sequence from ethyl-2-carbethoxy-3-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)propionate. Cyclization of 3-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)propionic
acid in polyphosphoric acid resulted in the formation of 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydroindanone which was identified by its ultraviolet spectrum
and its physical properties.
7-Bicyclo[3.3.1] nonen-2-one was prepared by a Friedel-Crafts cyclization of 3-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-propionyl...
Changes in the diode characteristics of three different
types of diodes were studied. These were point-contact, bonded and zinc-diffused diodes. The parameters
in which measurable changes were observed were the forward
resistance, the reverse breakdown voltage, the
forward "knee" of the diode curve and the constant of
proportionality relating the...
PART I. A chemical examination of the materials toxic to fish in
kraft pulp mill wastes has been made as part of a water pollution
study. Thirty gallons of "foul condensate" from a typical kraft mill
gave 14 g of organic material when extracted with methylene chloride,
and an additional...
