Oil Pollution And The Coastal State, J. T. O'Brien May 1972

Oil Pollution And The Coastal State, J. T. O'Brien

Theses and Major Papers

It will be the purpose of this paper to pose and answer this question...How has the legal competence of a coastal state been strengthened with respect to that state's ability to prevent marine oil pollution? The question by implication presupposes that a certain change in legal competence is in fact occurring. The legal and historical baseline from which to gauge this gradual change will be established by reviewing past milestones in oil pollution law. A closer examination will then be made of recent evolutionary changes in both international and national oil pollution law subsequent to the Torrey Canyon Disaster of …

Containerships: A Point Of Departure Or A Panacea?, Dale S. Brown Jr. May 1972

Containerships: A Point Of Departure Or A Panacea?, Dale S. Brown Jr.

Theses and Major Papers

The advent of containerships has revolutionized the world’s shipping industry. In the United States’ struggle to compete for world markets and to improve military logistical support, it must keep abreast of current innovations in sea transport. An examination of the role played by containerships in this new technology must include the exploration of certain key questions. What is the best way to utilize this form of transport? What characteristics should these ships have? What are the best container sizes? Should the ships be self-sustaining, or should they call at ports with discharging facilities? How should companies determine legal problems concerning …


Saltmarsh Ecology And Resource Protection, Gerard Desire Blais Jr. May 1972

Saltmarsh Ecology And Resource Protection, Gerard Desire Blais Jr.

Theses and Major Papers

A panoramic lack of conservation education has produced a populace largely unaware of the value of marshland resources or measures for their protection. In a relentless era of ecological abuse, wetlands and salt marshes rank with endangered animal species in the quantitative loss culminating in extinction. Challenged continually by the relentless sea and exploited by unsound attempts at development, management, or even conservation, the efficiency of the marshlands is decreasing with each successive invasion. There is a demonstrated reduction in biological productivity, flood control, and water quality in areas where dredging, draining, and filling of marshes has taken place.


Naval And Merchant Fleet Coordination: A New Maritime Strategy, W. Gibson Carter May 1972

Naval And Merchant Fleet Coordination: A New Maritime Strategy, W. Gibson Carter

Theses and Major Papers

The military sealift requirements of the Department of Defense and the cooperation of the Merchant Marine in times of crises, national emergencies and wars are well known. The current trend toward increasing international trade; problems of inadequate U.S. flag commercial shipping fleet and further reductions in the size of the active and reserve naval fleets, require that some cooperative effort be considered in a normal peacetime environment as well as in a crisis role. The majority of the ships of the U.S. Navy and Merchant Marine are well over twenty years old and are inefficient and uneconomical to operate. Positive …


Potential Of Pompano Mariculture In Florida, James Anthony Elias May 1972

Potential Of Pompano Mariculture In Florida, James Anthony Elias

Theses and Major Papers

Pompano mariculture is not an attempt to bridge the protein gap, but it has been initiated to provide a constant source of this highly desired marine fish. The current market for pompano is small, however, this has been attributed basically to its supply. It appears from the literature that T. carolinus has the most dominant market position since it has an excellent flavor and sports fishermen prefer it due to its fighting ability when hooked on light tackle. It appears from the published history of attempts to raise pompano, by Berry and Iversen, that one of the major problems in …


A Draft Proposal For The Management Of The Offshore Sand And Gravel Deposits Of The State Of Rhode Island: Guidelines And Model Regulatory Legislation, Malcoolm Johnston Grant May 1972

A Draft Proposal For The Management Of The Offshore Sand And Gravel Deposits Of The State Of Rhode Island: Guidelines And Model Regulatory Legislation, Malcoolm Johnston Grant

Theses and Major Papers

The Coastal Resources Management Council is charged with broad responsibility to "develop resource management plans compatible with the needs of the people of Rhode Island, while preserving and enhancing as far as possible the natural qualities of the marine environment." The proper function of coastal management is to maximize the options open to the people of Rhode Island in the development of their coastal resources. This goal can best be realized by providing for the resolution of developmental conflicts before they materialize. Uncontrolled past development and consequent unanticipated use conflicts of many types have already seriously compromised Rhode Island's ability …

Possible Tests On The Verification Of And Departure From "1S03S1 Radiative Transition" In Thermal N−P Capture, S. S. Malik May 1972

Possible Tests On The Verification Of And Departure From "1S0→3S1 Radiative Transition" In Thermal N−P Capture, S. S. Malik

Physics Faculty Publications

Tests are suggested to verify the hypothesis that thermal n−p capture proceeds via the transition 1S03S1 and that approximately 10% of the observed capture cross section is due to interaction effects. It is shown that measurements of the "γ polarization effect" using polarized neutrons and protons are capable of testing the predictions of the hypothesis to within 1%.


Comment On Magnetic Cooling Of Solid He3, Jill C. Bonner, J. F. Nagle May 1972

Comment On Magnetic Cooling Of Solid He3, Jill C. Bonner, J. F. Nagle

Physics Faculty Publications

The possibility of cooling solid He3 by adiabatic magnetization is discussed using the antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor spin-½ Heisenberg linear chain as a reference system. The lack of a phase transition is not important in this discussion since the locus of maximum cooling generally lies outside (i.e., is unrelated to) the T−H phase boundary, contrary to previous predictions using mean-field and spin-wave theories. Exact calculations on linear chains demonstrate a potentially useful degree of equilibrium cooling. The results are in qualitative agreement with earlier spin-wave arguments, although the details of the energy spectrum are more complicated than is assumed in spin-wave …

Government Oil Policy And Its Effect On Domestic & Offshore Oil Production, James Owers Apr 1972

Government Oil Policy And Its Effect On Domestic & Offshore Oil Production, James Owers

Theses and Major Papers

To date the petroleum industry is second only to the Department of Defense in its stimulation of ocean technology. By the end of 1968, American petroleum companies had invested over 13 billion dollars on the continental shelves of the United States. The development of submersibles, man in the sea, instruments, seismic surveys, mapping and charting, and development of ocean structures and engineering have all been profoundly effected by this massive injection of capital. It is obviously of interest, therefore, to consider policies which affect offshore oil exploration and development. This paper is confined to analyzing three such economic policies in …


Underwater Search And Rescue For Non-Military Submersibles, Peter A. Joseph Apr 1972

Underwater Search And Rescue For Non-Military Submersibles, Peter A. Joseph

Theses and Major Papers

A system of underwater search and rescue for non-military submersibles utilizing a helicopter delivered rescue submersible is proposed. In the last 10 years there has been a substantial increase in manned underwater endeavors. This expansion is expected to continue with increasingly greater emphasis in the recreational field. The necessity to overcome the relatively short iife support of the small recreation submersible dictates a rapid response. This system should be capable of providing the lift necessary to rescue the entrapped personnel by bringing the submersible to the surface. At the present time the Coast Guard must rely on other submersible operators …
