Preparation of N-Substituted Hydroxylamines from Oxaziridines

Description: In many series of compounds, intensity of biological activity and chemical reactivity are proportional. Generally whenever a alkyl group replaces a reactive hydrogen atom, as would be the case for an N-substituted hydroxylamine as compared to hydroxylamine, the over-all biological activity of the resulting compound is lower than that of its nonalkylated analogue. Since toxicity and physiological activity are not proportional, this comparison can only suggest possible types of derivatives to p… more

Relationship of the Content of Dreams to Personal Conflicts

Description: This study will endeavor to substantiate the theory that dreaming serves the function of trying to handle conflicts met by the individual during waking life, but not resolved at the time. In order to do this, several hypotheses will be advanced concerning the different observable content of dreams of two different populations. A relationship will be drawn between this difference in content and the known difference in the types of conflicts common to each of the populations.

Effects of n-Decenylsuccinic Acid (n-DSA) and It's Monomethyl Ester (m-MDSA) on Water and Ion Flux in Isolated Roots

Description: The purpose of this study was (1) to measure the changes in water flux in isolated roots exposed to n-DSA and its mono-methly ester (m-MDSA) using a photometric technique in the absence of an externally applied suction and (2) to measure the flux of Na and K in similarly treated roots using a flame photometric method.
