  • Description: In the early part of 1948 an announcement was made concerning the discovery of some ancient manuscripts in Palestine; to this discovery sober and distinguished scholars applied adjectives like 'sensational' and 'phenomenal' - words that not commonly applied to the discovery of manuscripts in the world of scholarship.

  • Description: A member of the Iridaceae family, the plant (also known as the Blue Tulp) ... is a monocotyledon. The blue tulp grows profusely in rainy parts of the Union, for example along much of the Cape coastal belt as far east as Grahamstown, in both the Karroos, and in parts of the Transvaal. It is a perennial plant but only appears above the ground once a year for about two months. This is at the start of the rainy season and in Grahamstown the plant appears in April and May, after which it disappears again. Chapter 1, p.1.

An exposition and evaluation of John Calvin's teaching on the sacraments, with particular reference to the sacrament of the Lord's supper in its liturgical context

- Orr, Robert

  • Authors: Orr, Robert
  • Date: 1954
  • Subjects: Lord's Supper (Liturgy) -- History , Sacraments -- Reformed Church , Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Bachelor , BDiv
  • Identifier: vital:1294 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1015226
  • Description: Misinterpretations of John Calvin's theology are legion. It is hoped that this thesis does not add to their number. The basis for this lies in the fact that the task of writing on the subject has of course compelled the writer to do his utmost to comprehend what Calvin had to say concerning the Sacraments both in the Institutions and in the Scriptural Commentaries ... .The attempt has been made to refract Calvin's thought on the Sacrament, using certain key-concepts as prisms, and from the results thus obtained, to draw certain conclusions from which, it is hoped, will not be unprofitable to the life of the Holy Catholic Church. It is thus to be reagrded as an essay in historical theology rather than a whole-hearted attempt to reconstruct Calvin's exposition of the sacrament in the light of what has been revealed to us in the intervening years.

An investigation of the equivalent circuit of a conductivity cell

- Allison, Francis Sutton

  • Authors: Allison, Francis Sutton
  • Date: 1954
  • Subjects: Electrolytic cells
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
  • Identifier: vital:4508 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1013376
  • Description: ( i) A linear circuit is shown not to explain the behaviour of a conductivity cell towards a long rectangular pulse of amplitude less than the decomposition potential of the solution in the cell. (ii) It is shown that the flow of current through the cell is governed by diffusion to the electrode. The diffusion current expression is the familiar one used in the case of diffusion up to a plane micro-electrode, except that in this case the concentration in the layer next to the electrode is not zero, but only somewhat less than the bulk concentration. (iii) Except during a short initial period (less than 10 seconds), the resistance of the electrolytic cell varies directly with the square root of the time for which an e.m.f. (less than the decomposition potential) is applied to the cell, and inversely with the concentration difference between the electrode surface and the bulk of the solution.

Aspects of the resorcinol-formaldehyde condensation

- Waldron, Ronald Augustus Frank

  • Authors: Waldron, Ronald Augustus Frank
  • Date: 1954
  • Subjects: Resorcinol , Formaldehyde
  • Language: English

  • Identifier: vital:4514 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1013460
  • Description: An attempt was made to producea -β or Ϫ - resorcinyl alcohol from disubstituted resorcinyls. To accomplish this 3,5-dibromo-β-resorcylic acid was reacted with lithium aluminium hybride, a mild reducing agent, in an attempt to reduce the acid group to the alcohol group. This disubstituted resorcinol was recovered unchanged. 3,5-dibromo-β-resorcyl-aldehyde was reduced by lithium aluminium hydride, but, instead of the alcohol forming, resinification took place. 2-methyl- 4-ethylresorcinol and 4,6-diethyrecorinol were reacted with formaldehyde under alkaline and acidic conditions. In each case a resin formed. The above experlments indicated that condensation took place in the meta position of the resorcinol molecule. Trimethylresorcinol was therefore reacted with formaldehyde under alkaline conditions, resulting in a small quantity ot the alcohol derivative. A better yield of the alcohol derivative was obtained by the hydrolysis or the chloromathyl derivative. In pursuing this line, a seres of new compounds and their derivatives were prepared. The condensation of the alcohol derivative with trimethylresorcinol and also with resorcinol was investigated.

  • Description: In Suid-Afrika het die opkoms van die sosialistiese gedagte teen die einde van die negentiende eeu ook merkbare invloed op die staatshuishouding gehad. In die negentiende eeu was die ekonomiese wetgewing, hoofsaaklik onder invloed van die indiwidualisme volgens die leer van "Laissez- faire", daarop gerig om die maksimum welvaart te verkry deur vrye mededinging aan te moedig en te beskerm, en om privaat inisiatief sy gang te laat gaan. Daar het egter geleidelik 'n verandering in hierdie houding en beleid ingetree. Deur 'n verandering in die beskouing omtrent die einddoel van die menslike arbeid en sy ekonomiese bedrywigheid moes die staat uit sosiaal-ekonomiese oorwegings sekere seksies van die samelewing deur spesiale en beskermende wetgewing te hulp kom. Die ontwikkeling van die aandeel wat die staat geneem het in die beheer en bevordering van die welvaart van die boere in die Suid-Afrikaanse Republiek is ' n voorbeeld van die voorgenoemde omwenteling in die ekonomiese en bedryfslewe teen die einde van die vorige eeu. Die staat het aanvanklik weinig gedoen vir die bevordering en beheer van die onderhoudsboerdery. Later, met die veranderde boerderyekonomie, het staatshulp, staatsvoorligting en -beheer egter noodsaaklik geword. Gedurende die laaste jare van die Suid- Afrikaanse Republiek het die owerheid meer en meer verpligtings teenoor die boeregemeenskap aanvaar. Namate die staat groter hulp en diens verskaf het, na dié mate moes hy ook groter beheer uitoefen.

Defoe and Scottish politics after union

  • Description: It would indeed have been a difficult matter for anybody possessing a taste for self-expression, a facility with words and an insatiable imagination to avoid becoming involved in political controversy in England during the early part of the Eighteenth Century. For one who, in addition, was confident in his ability to solve problems of state of whatever complexity it was clearly an impossibility. Daniel Defoe's close connection with politics during the first years of the Eighteenth Century involved him in numerous hardships. In later years it brought him much less fame than his excursions into fiction; but it was the means of providing him, albeit sparsely at times, with sufficient money to keep his creditors at bay. On more than one occasion the protection he gained helped to rescue him from imprisonment. Intro., p. 1.
