A Study Of The Kinetics And The Free Radicals Involved In The Low-Pressure, Vapor-Phase Pyrolysis Of Toluene, Robert E. Williams

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

This research was undertaken to study the pyrolysis of toluene in the vapor phase.

The present work was an endeavor to better understand the reaction mechanisms and the intermediates involved in pyrolysis.

Specifically, the problem was to study the discrepancies between the results reported by M. Szwarc and by Hein and Mesee.

Wakefield And Soureby: Manor And Village In The Reign Of Edward The First, Robert Allan Figge

History ETDs

It is the purpose of this study to investigate the core of manorial life, a single manor, in order to reconstruct the type of life existent there. For this purpose the manor of Wakefield in Yorkshire, England, has been chosen. As a further limiting factor this study will inquire into Wakefield life in the reign of a single king, Edward I, 1272-1307. It is hoped by this effort that life in Wakefield may be caught in a photograph, before it has a chance to vary its characteristics and customs to any great degree.
