Adsorption Of Sulfur Dioxide On Douglas Fir Woodchips, Uen-Ping David Wang
Adsorption Of Sulfur Dioxide On Douglas Fir Woodchips, Uen-Ping David Wang
Dissertations and Theses
In recent years, people have raised their alertness to the hazard of air pollution. Sulfur dioxide is one of the most dangerous chemical compounds among those air pollutants. A study on removing sulfur dioxide from an air stream by adsorption using wood chips as the adsorbent is presented in this thesis. The reason for using wood as an adsorbent is that wood is a porous material and possesses a large surface of cell cavities which can hold a great amount of moisture. As sulfur dioxide gas is passed through the wood bed, it would be either condensed in the cell …

A New Test For Normality, Richard Leroy Roller
A New Test For Normality, Richard Leroy Roller
All Master's Theses
This paper presents a new test for normality which is based on a complete characterization of the normal distribution. Motivation for the test is given in terms of a proof of this characterization. The test is derived and evaluated by computer-simulated sampling from alternative distributions. The empirical powers of the test generated from such samplings are tabled and compared to nine commonly used tests. Evaluation of the proposed test is discussed and further avenues of investigation are suggested.

A Kinetic Study Pertaining To The Enzymatic Reduction Of Pyruvate By Lactate Dehydrogenase, Ronald Floyd Tienhaara
A Kinetic Study Pertaining To The Enzymatic Reduction Of Pyruvate By Lactate Dehydrogenase, Ronald Floyd Tienhaara
All Master's Theses
The reduction of pyruvate as catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase has been studied by monitoring the oxidation of DPNH (diphosphopyridine nucleotide) at 340 nm. The kinetic investigation was carried out in phosphate buffer at 25° C. Since pyruvate exists in equilibrium with the enolized and hydrated forms, a kinetic analysis was devised to determine the nature of the true substrate for the enzymatic process. Also, a comparative study was made involving two isozymes of lactate dehydrogenase. The catalytic effectiveness of these isozymes was studied as a function of pH and substrate concentration.

The History Of The Stream Preservation Movement In Arkansas, Rex Moreland Terry
The History Of The Stream Preservation Movement In Arkansas, Rex Moreland Terry
Honors Theses
The history of Arkansas' Stream Preservation movement is not a long one, because only in the recent past have Arkansans taken a serious look at the long term effects of such things as damming streams and clearing land.
The core of the movement for stream preservation centers around the Buffalo River, in the Northwest Arkansas Ozarks. Because of this, the bulk of this paper will be devoted to the Buffalo.
Precambrian Geology Of The Central Nacimiento Mountains, Sandoval County, New Mexico, Kent Richard Reed
Precambrian Geology Of The Central Nacimiento Mountains, Sandoval County, New Mexico, Kent Richard Reed
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The oldest Precambrian rocks in the area of study are represented by abundant inclusions and schlieren of hornblendite, plagioclase-hornblende schist, and plagioclase-hornblende-biotite schist. These inclusions are remnants of a pre-batholithic metamorphic terrane.
The next oldest, and dominant rock in the central Nacimiento Mountains is gneiss that ranges in composition from quartz monzonite to granodiorite. Where strongly sheared, the rock is microcline-biotite-quartz-plagioclase schist. Gradational zones of schist within the gneiss were mapped separately. The gneiss and the schist are cut by metamorphosed spessartite dikes and by leucocratic dikes of various textures and compositions.
Intruding the gneiss in the southeastern part of …
An Evaluation Of A Stable Isotope Of Dysprosium For Labeling And Tracing Sedimentary Particles, Charles Glenn Boone
An Evaluation Of A Stable Isotope Of Dysprosium For Labeling And Tracing Sedimentary Particles, Charles Glenn Boone
OES Theses and Dissertations
An evaluation of the application of dysprosium oxide as a tracer coating to surface label sedimentary particles is made. Physical and chemical properties of the labeled sand are studied. Effective diameters and settling properties of the tracer sand are compared with unlabeled sand. A total of 8.51 kg of labeled sand was placed on the beach at Camp Pendleton. Dispersal patterns obtained 1 and 4 hours after tracer injection indicate a general down current mean tracer migration rate of 0.21 cm/sec (0.42ft/sec). An absolute detection limit of 4 or 5 parts per 100,000 and a real detection limit, after field …
Evidence For The Existence Of Two Stable Sites For Cobalt Impurity Atoms In Aluminum, Arun Venkatachar
Evidence For The Existence Of Two Stable Sites For Cobalt Impurity Atoms In Aluminum, Arun Venkatachar
Dissertations and Theses
Using Fe57Mössbauer spectroscopy, two alternative sites occupied by cobalt (10-4 at. % ) impurity atoms in aluminum have been isolated. The substitutional site A is the stable position after annealing the sample above 840 K, followed by a rapid quench. The impurity atoms in site A are characterized by a single line Mössbauer spectrum (indicative of a cubic environment), a room-temperature f = 0.502 (r. m. s. displ. 0.071 A) and an I. S. (reI. to Fe) = -0.421 mm/sec. For anneals below 770 K the cobalt atoms migrate to site B, which is characterized by a …
A Study Of A Divalent Cation-Selective Electrode, William Stanhope Ryan Jr.
A Study Of A Divalent Cation-Selective Electrode, William Stanhope Ryan Jr.
Master's Theses
The ion-selective membrane electrode, recently introduced commercially, has shown excellent promise as a tool for determining ionic activities and concentrations in solution. It was the intent of the author to study the Orion divalent cation-selective electrode with two objectives.
The first objective of this research was to characterize the response of the divalent cation-selective electrode to calcium and magnesium ions in aqueous solutions. The effect of anions, monovalent cations; and pH upon this response was investigated. An examination was made of the response of this electrode to other divalent cations and of the effect of organic solvents on the membrane …
Orthogonality In Normed Spaces, Martin R. Mccarthy
Orthogonality In Normed Spaces, Martin R. Mccarthy
All Master's Theses
This paper presents three definitions of orthogonality in normed spaces. Each definition is shown equivalent to the inner product being zero when restricted to an inner product space. The definitions arise from such properties in two space as the diagonals of a rectangle being equal and the Pythagorean Theorem. The third definition shows that the idea of an inner product can be generalized under certain conditions.
A Comparative Investigation Of The Effects Of Frequent Testing Upon Achievement In Secondary Advanced Algebra, John Thomas Fullerton
A Comparative Investigation Of The Effects Of Frequent Testing Upon Achievement In Secondary Advanced Algebra, John Thomas Fullerton
All Master's Theses
Relatively speaking, few studies have concerned themselves with the problem of frequent testing, and as Keys pointed out, empirical evidence, uncomplicated by differences in the amount of testing material employed, on the effects of frequent testing is, at best, scarce (14:427). Also many studies used tests and test results for direct instruction, thus introducing additional variables. Furthermore, the choice of subjects and disciplines has been limited, the better part being taken from college psychology and sociology classes or high school science classes. This investigation was not an attempt to modify previous experiments, nor was it an attempt to identify which …

An Extension Of The Cochran Q Test, Soo-Young Cho
An Extension Of The Cochran Q Test, Soo-Young Cho
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The familiar x 2 test is ordinarily used to compare percentage distributions of categorical data for two or more independent samples. A more accurate com parison of the percentages is sometimes obtained if the samples consist of matched individuals. The NcNemar test is generally used when comparing only two related samples. Where there are three or more samples the Cochran Q test is used. Both of these tests apply only to the case of dichotomized responses. This thesis extends the Cochran Q test to the case where the responses are multinomial. A generalized statistic corresponding to Cochran's result is obtained. …

An Application Of Spectroscopic Techniques To The Measurement Of Electron Density And Temperature In A Brush Cathode Plasma, Ramabhai M. Patel
An Application Of Spectroscopic Techniques To The Measurement Of Electron Density And Temperature In A Brush Cathode Plasma, Ramabhai M. Patel
Physics Theses & Dissertations
A brief review of the Langmuir probe, microwave and spectroscopic techniques most commonly used to make measurements .of plasma electron temperature and density is presented. Of these various methods, certain spectroscopic methods are applied to the measurements of electron density and temperature in a helium brush cathode plasma. The density measurement is based on the manner in which a series of Stark broadened spectral lines merges into an apparent continuum before the normal series limit is reached. This approach met with only limited success in that the density could be determined only by extrapolating the data obtained. Primarily because of …

A Kinetic Analysis Of The Iodination Of Pyruvic Acid And Pyruvate Esters, Mohamed M. Fahmi Hegazi
A Kinetic Analysis Of The Iodination Of Pyruvic Acid And Pyruvate Esters, Mohamed M. Fahmi Hegazi
All Master's Theses
In the present work the relative rates of iodination of pyruvic acid and ethyl and methyl pyruvate have been compared at 25.0° C. These studies allow the determination of the respective free energies of activation for these processes. Measurements have also been carried out at various temperatures to determine the enthalpies and entropies of activation for the spontaneous and base catalysed iodinations of these pyruvate systems. The present thesis also includes a comparison of the solvent deuterium isotope effects associated with the spontaneous rate of iodination of pyruvic acid and the alkyl pyruvates. Also, the catalytic rate coefficients associated with …
An Investigation Of Some Free Radicals.|Ni.|Pdecomposition Of Nitrosyl Disulfonate Ion In Polar Non-Aqueous Solvents.|Nii.|Preaction Between 2,2-Diphenyl -1- Picryl Hydrazyl And Nitrosyl Disulfonate Ion Free Radicals, Janan Mary Hayes
Theses and Dissertations
Part I reports the stud y of the decomposition of nitrosyl disulfonate ion in DMSO, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane. A multi-step mechanism involving sulfite ion, sulfite ion radical, and nitrosyl monosulfonate radical as intermediates is proposed. The products of the decomposition are nitrosonium ion, hydroxylamine disulfonate ion, and hydroxylamine trisulfonate ion. A competitive chain reaction was observed when the decomposition occurred in DMSO. The chain reaction was insignificant in carefully dried acetonitrile and dichloromethane. Part II reports the study of the reaction between 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and nitrosyl disulfonate ion. Product analysis and kinetic data obtained from stopped-flow procedures suggest that …
The Thermal Decomposition Of 2,2'-Azoisobutane, Mervin Dewain Atwood
The Thermal Decomposition Of 2,2'-Azoisobutane, Mervin Dewain Atwood
Theses and Dissertations
Nitrogen, isobutane, isobutylene and 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane are the only products found in the thermal decomposition of 2,2'-azoisobutane. They are the results of the direct free radical dimerization and disproportionation. Ratio of the rate constants of disproportionation to dimerization was found to be 1.9 at 268°C and 4.5% azobutane in helium. This compared with Blackham and Eatough's value of 1.4 at 243°C and 3.6 at 290°C with 4% azobutane in helium. The ratio of the disproportionation to dimerization increased with an increase in temperature. A change in contact time affected the ratio at lower reaction temperatures but had little effect on it …

Studies Of Pig Brain Thiamin Pyrophosphokinase, James Weldon Peterson
Theses and Dissertations
Pig brain thiamin pyrophosphokinase (TPK) (ATP: thiamin pyrophosphotransferase, EC 2.7.6.2) was purified 260-fold over extracts of brain acetone powder. The purification was followed using a direct, radiometric assay. As determined in an analytical ultracentrifuge and by disc-gel electrophoresis, the most highly purified enzyme preparations were not homogeneous. The purified enzyme has a broad pH optimum extending from 8.3 to 9.3 in phosphate-glycylglycine buffer. It has an isoelectric point at about pH 4.2. For optimal enzymatic activity, the ratio of magnesium to ATP must be 0.6. Any deviation from this ratio causes a rapid drop in enzymatic activity. A study of …
