Approaches To The Synthesis Of Azabullvalene, Thomas Rudolph Steinheimer
Approaches To The Synthesis Of Azabullvalene, Thomas Rudolph Steinheimer
Doctoral Dissertations
"Three approaches to the synthesis of the heretofore unknown azabullvalene, the pi electron equivalent heterocyclic congener of bullvalene itself, are described. Two of the schemes are based upon the assumption that the most convenient method for the introduction of the nitrogen atom is via thermal rearrangement of the appropriate azide.
The first involved the generation of the homobarrelene carbon skeleton and sub sequent decomposition of its azide. This compound arises formally as the product of the Diels-Alder addition of acetylene to the bicyclic valence isomer of tropyl azide (cyclohepta-1, 3, 5- trienyl-7-azide). In order to achieve this goal, Diels-Alder additions …
A Study Of A New Hydrometallurgical Treatment For New Lead Belt Chalcopyrite Concentrates, Larry Steven Livingston
A Study Of A New Hydrometallurgical Treatment For New Lead Belt Chalcopyrite Concentrates, Larry Steven Livingston
Masters Theses
"A two-phase research project was conducted on chalcopyrite concentrates from the New Lead Belt of Missouri. Phase one includes an ore microscopy study of the Magmont and Viburnum chalcopyrite concentrates in respect to mineralogy, particle size and interlocking characteristics of ore minerals and their possible relationships to poor chalcopyrite-galena separation in the copper flotation circuits.
Results of the ore microscopy study of the Magmont and Viburnum mines chalcopyrite concentrates suggest that interlocking of chalcopyrite and galena are not the cause of poor chalcopyrite-galena separation in the copper flotation circuits.
The most common sulfides found in the Magmont and Viburnum chalcopyrite …
Monte Carlo Simulation Of Confidence Intervals For Reliability, Kathryn Palisch Berkbigler
Monte Carlo Simulation Of Confidence Intervals For Reliability, Kathryn Palisch Berkbigler
Masters Theses
"A computer program which computes fiducial confidence intervals for reliability by Monte Carlo simulation has been written. The program has the capability of computing these intervals for general systems of series, parallel, and mixed series and parallel subsystems which have failure time distributions which are either exponential, Weibull, gamma, normal, or lognormal.
Comparison of the simulation technique with a Bayesian technique for computing confidence intervals in the case of a series of exponentially distributed components shows that the two methods agree quite well when a fiducial prior distribution for reliability is used in the Bayesian technique. A uniform prior distribution …
Model Correction For The Formation Of Amorphous Silicon By Ion Implantation, John Robert Dennis
Model Correction For The Formation Of Amorphous Silicon By Ion Implantation, John Robert Dennis
Masters Theses
"ESR has been used to study the formation of an amorphous layer in silicon by ion implantation. The room temperature implants were done at 20 keV with low dose rates. The critical dose was determined as a function of ion mass for six different ion species. Our experimental heavy ion results agree with those found by other ESR investigators at higher energy, but are not the same for light ions. However, our light and heavy ion results agree with electron microscope measurements for low energy implants. An energy-independent model for the formation of amorphous silicon by ion implantation has …
Corals Of The St. Louis Limestone In The Area Of Calhoun County, Illinois And St. Louis County, Missouri, William Earl Collins
Corals Of The St. Louis Limestone In The Area Of Calhoun County, Illinois And St. Louis County, Missouri, William Earl Collins
Masters Theses
"The St. Louis Limestone and its equivalent formations crop out from Alaska south to Sonora and from Arizona east to Virginia. The St. Louis, in most cases, is fossiliferous and contains numerous species of foraminifers, echinoderms, bryozoans, molluscans, brachipods, arthropods and coelenterates. Algal mounds and mats are common. The rugose coral fauna of the Middle Mississippian (Meramecian) St. Louis Limestone of southern Calhoun County, Illinois and northern St. Louis County, Missouri was studied to determine first what corals were present and second the validity of the names assigned to the previously described species. It was found that the binomen for …
The Design And Calibration Of A Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, Donald Dwight Hoffman
The Design And Calibration Of A Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, Donald Dwight Hoffman
Masters Theses
"The design and calibration of a vibrating sample magnetometer is described. The sample motion was in the direction of the external magnetic field which was produced by a superconducting solenoid. The maximum external magnetic field was 70 kilogauss. Sample temperature could be varied from 77°K to 1000°K with a vacuum jacketed furnace. The maximum temperature was obtained with approximately 27 watts. The instrument was calibrated to 1% with a spherical nickel sample"--Abstract, page ii.
The Atomic Absorption Determination Of Ultra-Trace Tellurium In Rocks Utilizing High Sensitivity Sampling Systems, Richard D. Beaty
The Atomic Absorption Determination Of Ultra-Trace Tellurium In Rocks Utilizing High Sensitivity Sampling Systems, Richard D. Beaty
Doctoral Dissertations
"The sampling boat and the graphite furnace have been shown to possess the required sensitivity to detect tellurium at ultra-trace levels, in a variety of sample types, by atomic absorption. In the sampling boat approach, tellurium in sample solutions is chemically separated and concentrated by extraction into methyl isobutyl ketone before measurement. For samples exhibiting extraction interferences or excessively high background absorption, a preliminary separation of tellurium by coprecipitation with selenium is described. Using this technique, tellurium can be quantitatively detected down to 5 nanograms and linear response is observed to 100 nanograms. Relative standard deviations of better than 7% …
A Study Of The Ability Of Surface Active Materials To Increase The Evaporation Rates Of Small, Freely Falling Water Drops, David Alan Sierawski
A Study Of The Ability Of Surface Active Materials To Increase The Evaporation Rates Of Small, Freely Falling Water Drops, David Alan Sierawski
Masters Theses
"The evaporation rate at 30°C of water droplets partially covered by surface active materials (SAM) were determined. While two of the SAM were studied at a single dew point depression (ΔTDP), seven others were examined over a range of ΔTDP values. It was found, by comparison with pure water drops under identical conditions, that SAM increases the evaporation rate as compared to the rate of an uncontaminated drop. The lack of effect of the hydrophobic chain length and the possible effect of the hydrophilic group on this phenomenon are discussed. The explanation proposed is that at 30°C …
Heavy Metal Analysis Of Stream Sediments In The James River Basin, Missouri, William J. Head
Heavy Metal Analysis Of Stream Sediments In The James River Basin, Missouri, William J. Head
Masters Theses
"A reconnaissance survey of stream sediments using the minus 80 mesh sieve fraction was made at 53 sites throughout the James River basin, Missouri. Sample sites within the 1460 square miles of the basin were chosen at tributary confluences, suspected contamination sources, and known areas of mineralization. Replicates and stream profiles were taken to check for analytical variation and reproducibility of results. Sediment samples were prepared by a hot nitric acid leach method. The sediments were analyzed using an atomic absorption unit to determine Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cd trace metal contents.
Values of selected streams within the basin were …
Temperature Dependence Of The Formation Of An Amorphous Layer In Ion-Implanted Silicon, Gary Keith Woodward
Temperature Dependence Of The Formation Of An Amorphous Layer In Ion-Implanted Silicon, Gary Keith Woodward
Masters Theses
"Electron spin resonance (ESR) has been used to study the temperature dependence of the formation of an amorphous damaged layer produced by ion implantation in silicon.
Undoped silicon wafers were implanted with N+, Ar+, and Kr+ ions at 20 keV and dose rates less than .36 µa/cm2. Implant temperatures ranged from room temperature to 250°C. ESR measurements were made at room temperature on these wafers. The only ESR signal found was that associated with amorphous silicon. The ESR signal amplitude for a given ion and temperature increased approximately linearly with dose up to …
Distribution Of Trace Elements In Host Rock Limestone In The Tri-State Zinc-Lead District, Dinesh Jashbhai Patel
Distribution Of Trace Elements In Host Rock Limestone In The Tri-State Zinc-Lead District, Dinesh Jashbhai Patel
Masters Theses
"The trace metal contents of limestone in the Tri-State zinc-lead district were determined within a single horizon, the M bed. Ninety-six specimens, collected for a previous study of their petrographic character, were analyzed for zinc, lead, and copper using atomic absorption spectrophotometric techniques.
The unaltered M bed limestone at a distance from ore bodies was found to contain only 12-28 ppm zinc, 40-SO ppm lead and 12 ppm or less copper. Those limestone specimens which were found b earlier petrographic study to be altered principally to sparry calcite commonly contain anomalous amounts of zinc and lead. Some also have slightly …
Structure And Chemical Composition Of The Otoliths Of Cyprinus Carpio, Larry Paul Coen
Structure And Chemical Composition Of The Otoliths Of Cyprinus Carpio, Larry Paul Coen
Masters Theses
"The need for the study of microfossils such as foraminifera, conodonts, and otoliths as stratigraphic tools has been well established. However, disarticulated parts such as otoliths and conodonts cannot be effectively used unless they can be recognized. Otoliths, although somewhat unrecognized in the geological record, are far more abundant than articulated skeletons (Frizzell, 1965, p. 86). Therefore, much investigation is being conducted to reveal the origin, function, morphology, and usefulness of the otoliths of fishes.
In this investigation, the asteriscus, well developed only in Ostariophysins (of which the carp is a member), is studied for morphology. New tentative terms are …
A Study Of Gas-Surface Interactions Through Sticking Coefficient, Condensation Coefficient And Sublimation Rate Measurements, Charles E. Bryson Iii
A Study Of Gas-Surface Interactions Through Sticking Coefficient, Condensation Coefficient And Sublimation Rate Measurements, Charles E. Bryson Iii
Doctoral Dissertations
"The behavior of the sticking coefficient of CO₂ on an H₂O substrate as a function of time is interpreted in terms of a microscopic nucleation theory. For a substrate temperature near 75 K and an incident flux near 1013 molecule cm⁻² sec⁻¹, a critical cluster size of four molecules and and activation energy of nucleation of 22 ± 2.4 Kcal mole⁻¹ is obtained. The analysis treats the nucleation processes as continuous rather than as a discontinuous process at some critical temperature.
In addition the same molecular beam apparatus used for the above experiment was used to measure the condensation …
Some Results On Quasi-Uniform Spaces, Karen Sylvia Carter
Some Results On Quasi-Uniform Spaces, Karen Sylvia Carter
Doctoral Dissertations
"An example of a quasi-uniform space which is complete but not strongly complete is constructed. We also give an example to show that a T1 space does not necessarily have a T1 strong completion.
The definition of Cauchy filter is discussed. An alternate definition, referred to as C-filter, is considered. A construction of a C-completion is given and it is shown that if a quasi-pseudometric is complete, then the corresponding quasi-uniform structure is C-complete.
Conjugate quasi-uniform spaces are discussed. A theorem relating a transitive base of a quasi-uniform structure to a transitive base of the conjugate structure is …
Anionic Polymerization Of A Series Of 5-Membered Cyclocarbosiloxanes, Balaraman Suryanarayanan
Anionic Polymerization Of A Series Of 5-Membered Cyclocarbosiloxanes, Balaraman Suryanarayanan
Doctoral Dissertations
"A study has been made on the anionic polymerization of a series of 5-membered cyclocarbosiloxanes with methyl and/or phenyl substituents. The polymerization was initiated by lithium n-butyldiphenylsilanolate in the presence of tetrahydrofuran. Six 5-membered cyclocarbosiloxanes (2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-oxa-2,5-disilacyclopentane; 2,2,5- trimethyl-5-phenyl-1-oxa-2,5-disilacyclopentane; 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-diphenyl- 1-oxa-2,5-disilacyclopentane; 2,2-dimethyl-5 ·,5-diphenyl-1-oxa- 2,5-disilacyclopentane; 2-methyl-2,5,5-triphenyl-1-oxa-2,5-disilacyclopentane; 2,2,5,5-tetraphenyl-1-oxa-2,5-disilacyclopentane) were synthesized. Since the chemical shifts of the protons of the cyclic monomers and the polymers formed were different, the rate of polymerization of the cyclic monomers was measured utilizing an NMR spectrometer. The effects of tetrahydrofuran concentration, initiator concentration and water concentration on the rate of polymer formation and on the molecular weight of …
Tchebycheff Approximation On A Discrete Point Set: Algorithms Old And New, William Edward Mcbride
Tchebycheff Approximation On A Discrete Point Set: Algorithms Old And New, William Edward Mcbride
Doctoral Dissertations
"Several linear and nonlinear algorithms for solving the discrete Tchebycheff problem are compared in this study. The Lawson algorithm is compared with two more well-known methods of linear Tchebycheff approximation. A new acceleration scheme for the Lawson algorithm is introduced and its performance is tested with an already existing acceleration technique. The new version is found to be better than the previous one but not as effective as the traditional Exchange method.
A nonlinear version of Lawson's algorithm is proposed for the solution of problems having approximating functions which are varisolvent. Some linear theorems of Lawson are extended to the …
Desorption Of Phosphorus From Si (111) Surfaces, Cesar Michel Magnin
Desorption Of Phosphorus From Si (111) Surfaces, Cesar Michel Magnin
Masters Theses
"Auger electron spectroscopy and mass analysis are used as complementary methods in evaluating desorption kinetics. For phosphorus on silicon, the order of desorption and activation energies of desorption are determined from continuously monitored phosphorus Auger electron signals during heating. These measurements indicate that diatomic phosphorus dissociates when adsorbed onto clean silicon. Mass spectrometer flash desorption spectra show that at least four distinct surface bonds are associated with the desorption of phosphorus. The dominant desorbed species is diatomic phosphorus at high coverage (> 0. 1 monolayer) and atomic phosphorus at low coverage (< 0.07 monolayer)"--Abstract, page ii.
Multispectral Analysis Of Erts Imagery By Color Enhancement, John F. Peters
Multispectral Analysis Of Erts Imagery By Color Enhancement, John F. Peters
Masters Theses
"The Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) program has supplied the scientist with high resolution multispectral imagery of a large portion or the earth. Photographic and electronic methods of image enhancement are not universally available to those who might profit from such endeavors.
Diazo products were found to be satisfactory for creation of false color enhancement of ERTS multispectral data. The purpose of the enhancement was to make the Diazochrome composite comparable to more sophisticated methods for the purpose of interpretation. The basis of the enhancement was the standard false color infrared composite, with negative and positive Diazochrome masks to enhance …
The Contribution Of Phonon-Induced Tunneling To Donor Esr Spectral Narrowing In Semiconductors, David Lawrence Meier
The Contribution Of Phonon-Induced Tunneling To Donor Esr Spectral Narrowing In Semiconductors, David Lawrence Meier
Masters Theses
"The narrowing of donor electron spin resonance spectra with increasing donor concentration ND and increasing temperature T has been observed in semiconductors in the past. One proposed explanation for this phenomenon has been narrowing due to electron motion caused by phonon-induced tunneling (hopping) between donor sites. According to the Anderson narrowing theory, the line width of the narrowed line can be expressed in terms of the average square spread of the non-narrowed spectrum, < H²>ave, and the average frequency of electron motion, ωn. Previous work has been done on narrowing by hopping, but rigorous expressions for ω …
Heavy Metal Concentrations In The Waters Of The Springfield Area, Missouri, Anita Louise Williams
Heavy Metal Concentrations In The Waters Of The Springfield Area, Missouri, Anita Louise Williams
Masters Theses
"Water samples consisting of streams, springs, lakes, deep wells, and shallow wells were collected from various locations around the Springfield area. These were analysed for concentrations of the heavy metals of lead, copper, cadmium, zinc, mercury, and iron. Heavy metal contents in the waters occasionally show local concentrations. The zinc content can be related to known minor mineralized areas around Springfield. Some iron content in the surface waters and shallow aquifers is contributed by the iron-bearing clays and pyrites in the shallow formations.
The ranges of heavy metal values in the Springfield area are in ppb: lead, 1 to 70; …
Petrography, Diagenesis And Environment Of Deposition Of The Gasconade Formation, Lower Ordovician, Southern Missouri, Abd El-Aziz El-Hady A. Borahay
Petrography, Diagenesis And Environment Of Deposition Of The Gasconade Formation, Lower Ordovician, Southern Missouri, Abd El-Aziz El-Hady A. Borahay
Doctoral Dissertations
"The Gasconade Formation (Lower Ordovician) has been studied in the surface and subsurface in the Ozarks of Missouri and northeastern Oklahoma. The formation is mostly dolomite with a sandstone member at the base (Gunter) and frequent occurrences of chert bodies of different shapes particularly in the middle part.
The dolomite crystals in the lower and upper parts are subhedral to euhedral of equicrystalline to two-size fabric and range in size from 300-600 microns, and subhedral to anhedral of variable fabric and smaller size in the middle part. A sequence of cloudy and clear areas, named zoning, characterizes the euhedral crystals. …
Scavenging Of Atmospheric Particles By Water Drops, Ming-Shian Wu
Scavenging Of Atmospheric Particles By Water Drops, Ming-Shian Wu
Doctoral Dissertations
"In the first paper, the mechanisms of particle capture and coalescence of aerosols by a moving water drop in the atmosphere are studied using the boundary-layer flow approximation. The particle trajectory is computed by solving the equations of motion of the particle both outside and inside the boundary layer using the Adams-Moulton method. The grazing trajectory is found by a trial-and-error technique. The collision and collection efficiencies of scavenging due to particle inertia and to the velocity gradient of the flow field are then computed for water drops ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mm in radius and for particle of …
Auger Satellites Of The L₂₃ Auger Emission Bands Of Al, Si, And P, John Junior Melles
Auger Satellites Of The L₂₃ Auger Emission Bands Of Al, Si, And P, John Junior Melles
Doctoral Dissertations
"In this study a detailed investigation of the high energy satellites of the L23 Auger emission bands of Al, Si, and P was made. The satellites are interpreted as arising from double ionization of the L23 shell rather than from a plasmon gain process. The parent-satellite energy separations, ΔE, between like structures were determined and were found to be consistently smaller than the volume plasmon energies measured for the same samples. A comparison of Si and SiO revealed no evidence that ΔE for Si is dependent on the volume plasmon energy of the sample.
The satellite threshold excitation …
Adsorption Of Water On Gold, Jean-Marc Louis Deschanel
Adsorption Of Water On Gold, Jean-Marc Louis Deschanel
Masters Theses
"Water adsorption isotherms on gold films were measured with a quartz crystal microbalance. Two gold films were studied: a "dirty" gold film contaminated by approximately one monolayer of carbon, and a "clean" gold film prepared by evaporating gold from a heated tungsten wire under high vacuum.
Water was found to chemisorb on both films according to a Freundlich type adsorption isotherm. Isosteric heats of adsorption were computed from the isotherm data. On the "clean" gold surface the isosteric heat showed a logarithmic decrease with increasing water coverage. The highest measured value for the heat of adsorption was 35 kcal mole …
Heavy Metals In The Main Streams Of The James River Basin, Missouri, Richard Jerome Lance
Heavy Metals In The Main Streams Of The James River Basin, Missouri, Richard Jerome Lance
Masters Theses
"Demands on water resources in the James River basin have greatly increased. Industrial plants and lead-zinc prospects in the basin are potential sources of heavy metal additions to the waters of the area. The study determines the heavy metal content and distribution in the streams of the basin.
Approximately 50 water samples were collected each season and analyzed by atomic absorption techniques. Field determinations of temperature, specific conductance, pH, and effective alkalinity were also made.
Ranges of heavy metal content were: (1) mercury- <0. 1 to 0.3 ppb (summer only); (2) zinc-
The urban areas of Springfield contribute dissolved heavy metals to the surface streams. The Southwest Springfield Sewage …

Charge Transfer Between Oˉ Ions And O₂ Molecules In The Ground State And Singlet Delta Excited State, Ronald Floyd Mathis
Doctoral Dissertations
"A crossed-beam apparatus has been built and used to study charge transfer between O⁻ ions and O₂ molecules in the ground state and in the metastable, singlet delta, excited state. The energy of the incident ions ranged from 10 to 10,000 eV.
The cross section for charge transfer between O⁻ and ground state O₂ was found to peak at about 5 keV, as predicted on the basis of the Rapp and Francis theory. At the lower energies there is good agreement with the previous measurements of Snow et al., and Rutherford and Turner, who also used crossed beam techniques. The …
Absolute Differential Elastic And Inelastic Cross Sections In 25-140 Kev He⁺ + He Collisions, Victor Pol
Absolute Differential Elastic And Inelastic Cross Sections In 25-140 Kev He⁺ + He Collisions, Victor Pol
Doctoral Dissertations
"The UMR heavy-ion energy-loss spectrometer has been modified to study the angular dependence of elastic and inelastic scattering for 25-140 keV He+ incident on He. The data were obtained as energy-loss spectra at angles from 0 to 7.3 x 10-3 rad (c.m.) with energy-loss resolution of 0.6 to 1.0 eV and angular resolution of 1.2 x 10-3 to 2.4 x 10-3 rad (c.m.). From the spectra we have calculated average differential cross sections for elastic scattering, direct excitation of the individual He(n=2) states and direct excitation of the He+(n=2) states. By integrating the differential …
A Study Of The Pulse-Height Response Of Silicon Surface-Barrier Detectors To High-Energy Heavy Ions, Gregory Dan Smith
A Study Of The Pulse-Height Response Of Silicon Surface-Barrier Detectors To High-Energy Heavy Ions, Gregory Dan Smith
Doctoral Dissertations
"The pulse-height defect (PHD) of high-energy heavy ions in silicon surface-barrier detectors can be divided into three components: (1) energy loss in the gold-surface layer, (2) a nuclear-stopping defect, and (3) a defect due to recombination of electron-hole pairs in the plasma created by the heavy ion. The plasma recombination portion of the PHD was the subject of this study using the variation of the PHD with (1) the angle of incidence of incoming heavy ions, and (2) changes in the detector bias. The Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory was used to produce scattered beam ions …
Paleozoic Stratigraphy As An Ore Control Of Hydrothermal, Base-Metal, Sulfide Deposits In New Mexico, John Samuel Sullivan Jr.
Paleozoic Stratigraphy As An Ore Control Of Hydrothermal, Base-Metal, Sulfide Deposits In New Mexico, John Samuel Sullivan Jr.
Doctoral Dissertations
"Until now the concept or regional stratigraphic control of hydrothermal ore deposits has not received much attention in the literature as a possible exploration guide for locating additional ore bodies. This concept is applied on a regional scale to Paleozoic strata in thirteen mining districts with hydrothermal base-metal deposits in a 35,300 square mile area or southwest New Mexico.
The rocks at the stratigraphic position of the ore-zones are characterized as massive- to thick-bedded with less than 5 percent chert present. The rocks are abundantly to moderately fractured. Fine- to medium-grained dolomite is the dominant host-rock in the lower Paleozoic …
Petrography, Chemical Composition, And Stratigraphic Setting Of The Coals Of North-Central Missouri, William Keith Wedge
Petrography, Chemical Composition, And Stratigraphic Setting Of The Coals Of North-Central Missouri, William Keith Wedge
Doctoral Dissertations
"Under a grant from the National Air Pollution Control Administration, the Missouri Geological Survey undertook a core drilling program to learn more about the coals in north-central Missouri. The stratigraphic setting and chemical and petrographic characteristics of 43 complete samples of coal recovered from 13 diamond drill holes in the exploration program in north-central Missouri are major contributions of this study. These samples represent twelve different coal beds of the Atokan and Desmoinesian Series of the Pennsylvanian System of Missouri and range in thickness from 9.6 to 44.4 inches. They have an average thickness of 20.4 inches and a combined …
