"The congregational way" : an historical study of the congregational doctrine of the church

  • Authors: De Gruchy, John Wesley
  • Date: 1961
  • Subjects: Congregational churches , Congregationalism

  • Description: From Preface: In this Ecumenical Age it is necessary that each Christian Communion consider again its particular doctrine of the Church, and restate it for the benefit of the whole Body of Christ. This Thesis is an attempt to show some historical and theological facets of the traditional Congregational doctrine of the Church. However, it must be stated that a full exposition of Congregational ecclesiology is an impossible task for any thesis. Firstly, inherent within Congregationalism is the fear of dogmatizing about matters of faith and practice. It has expressed itself in Statements and Declarations but always with the qualification that these things are 'commonly believed amongst us' Therefore, Congregationalism, while it has a characteristic ecclesiology, has never formulated a rigid pattern of Churchmanship which has to be adhered to by all the Churches. Secondly, a full study of Congregational ecclesiology would entail the study of the practices of every Congregational Church through the ages. That is an impossible task. Therefore, we have been confined to available material; but material which nevertheless expresses what we would regard as traditional congregationalism. Thirdly, a study of this nature must be content merely to state, however critically, what Congregationalists have believed about the Church at various times in the history of Congregationalism. It is impossible to convey the pulse and feeling of the life of a Congregational Church, for it is very important in seeking to understand any Churchmanship, not only to understand its theological form and structure, but also to experience its ' koinonia ' in its common life and worship.

A critical study of the determination of molybdenum in plant material

  • Authors: Gore, William Tompson
  • Date: 1961
  • Subjects: Molybdenum , Plants -- Analysis , Spectrophotometry , Polarography
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
  • Identifier: vital:4477 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1012071 , Molybdenum , Plants -- Analysis , Spectrophotometry , Polarography
  • Description: 1. Polarographic and spectrophotometric methods for the determination of molybdenum were reviewed. 2. The inclusion of salicylaldoxine in several supporting electrolytes was examined with a view to developing a polarographic procedure, suitable for routine analyses, which did not necessitate a preliminary time-consuming separation stage. A stable molybdenum wave was obtained from an electrolyte having a composition similar to the test solution obtained after the wet digestion of plant material. The height of the wave was found to be, over an optimum range, independent of the reagent concentrations. The wave was however distorted by a maximum, which rendered it unsuitable for quantitative analytical application. 3. The spectrophotometric procedure for molybdenum using thiocyanate is virtually specific and was examined critically. Modifications were found to improve the sensitivity of the procedure, and the stability of the chromatic compound. 4. The modified spectrophotometric procedure is recommended for the routine determination of molybdenum in plant material.

A study of certain members of the South African xylariaceae, with reference to the use of cultural characters in classification

  • Authors: Martin, Philip Michael Dunlop
  • Date: 1961
  • Subjects: Xylariaceae -- South Africa , Hypoxylon , Fungi -- South Africa -- Morphology , Fungi -- South Africa -- Anatomy , Fungi -- Classification , Mycelium
  • Language: English

  • Description: [Summary] Sixty-three species, drawn from the genera Rosellinia Hypoxylon, Nummularia, Daldinia, Penzigia and Xylaria, are studied in order to determine whether any correlation exists between various characters of the perfect stage and characters connected with the mycelium in artificial culture that might be used to supplement the existing classification of the Xylariaceae. An examination is made of the morphological and anatomical characters of several stromal types and a statistical method of evaluating differences in ascospore dimension between samples of closely related species is described. Cultural work shows that :- a) Each species group, based primarily on similarity of stromal form, has a characteristic set of cultural characters. b) Members within a Species group can usually be distinguished clearly in culture. The use of cultural characters as an additional criterion in classification is therefore recommended.

An investigation of solar radio noise in relation to visible phenomena

  • Authors: Poole, Lex Martin Graham
  • Date: 1961
  • Subjects: Solar radio emission , Radio astronomy -- Instruments
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
  • Identifier: vital:5536 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1013032
  • Description: The work of previous writers on the origin and propagation of solar radio noise, and particularly the correlation with visual events is reviewed, and then the construction of the author's 300 Mc/s receiver described. With a view to the author's project, absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the solar corona is quantitatively discussed, and a method for determining the intensity without absorption of a radio burst is evolved. The main project involves briefly the discovery of any possible relationship between the magnitude of a visual flare and the corrected intensity of an associated radio burst as measured at 125 Mc/s. It is concluded that no definite relation exists, but from this consideration an approximate shape of the instantaneous frequency profile of outburst elements is obtained. An extension of the theory to isolated bursts enables us to predict both this bandshape, and the velocity of an exciting agency moving radially through the corona.

An investigation of the behaviour and biology of the Citrus Mussel Scale, Lepidosaphes Beckii (Newm.)

  • Authors: Hulley, Patrick Elliot
  • Date: 1961
  • Subjects: Lepidosaphes beckii , Citrus -- Diseases and pests -- South Africa , Scale insects -- Larvae
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc

  • Description: The citrus industry is subject to a number of serious insect pests. Of these, the most important is a sedentary group known as the Armoured Scale Insects (Diaspididae). Ebeling (1950) states that they are of greater economic importance to the industry than all the other pests put together. A great deal has been published on various aspects of the biology, ecology and control of the Diaspididae, much of the work appearing in the books of Quayle (1938), Ebeling (1950) and Bodenheimer (1951). It is very noticeable, however, that the study of the active larvae, or "crawlers", of these insects has been relatively neglected. This lack of work on crawlers is surprising, since they are the only distributive stage in the life cycle of the species. The adult male is also free-living during its brief life span, but takes no part in the actual distribution of the species. It is the position of the female Scale Insect which is important in determining the further spread of the species, since this is the point from which subsequent crawlers will start out on their wanderings. The stage in the life cycle responsible for the position of the female is, of course, the crawler. The crawler is also responsible for the parallel distribution of the male Scales, so that the female can be fertilised. The role of the adult male is confined to the maintenance of the gene flow. From an economic point of view it seems desirable that a complete study be made of the biology of this distributive stage of these important pests.

  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
  • Identifier: vital:5547 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1013441
  • Description: CHAPTER I A description of the sun and the type of radio radiation it emits is given. The relation that exists between this and other events occurring on the sun's surface is studied. CHAPTER II The literature dealing with the origin of solar radio noise is reviewed. CHAPTER III The method of specifying polarized radiation and the effect of a magneto- ionic medium on such radiation is discussed. The possible origin of the polarization of solar radio noise is examined and the literature relating to this and to the observations of polarization of solar noise is reviewed. A short outline of the methods used in measuring polarization is given. CHAPTER IV A detailed outline of the construction of a polarimeter is given together with full circuit diagrams and illustrative photographs. CHAPTER V A brief discussion of the operation of the polarimeter, the results obtained and suggestions for its future operation is given.
