A Precipitation Model And Experimental Correlation With Various Properties Of Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate, Thomas Rivera
A Precipitation Model And Experimental Correlation With Various Properties Of Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate, Thomas Rivera
Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs
A continuous precipitation method for the preparation of crystalline pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) has been developed. The process involves the precipitation of PETN from an acetone solution by the addition of water in a static mixer. The principal independent variable is the ratio, R, of the acetone-PETN solution flow rate to the flow rate of water.
A mathematical model based on dispersed plug-flow equations adequately represents the physical process. The relationships developed can be used to predict particle size distributions, two explosion properties of PETN, and estimate the effective kinetics involved in the precipitation process. The mass-weighted mean particle size, L, …

Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Blackbird District Lemhi County, Idaho, Gary Lynn Purdue
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
This report is a supplement to the Geologic Map of the Blackbird district which forms the southeast quadrant of the 15-minute Blackbird Mountain quadrangle, located in the Salmon River Mountains in Lemhi County, east central Idaho. Ore deposits in the district were developed during the first half of the twentieth century, but mining has been hampered by low-grade ores and the small size of the mineralized zones.
Outcrops are poor in the district because of heavy soil cover and talus slopes. Precambrian sedimentary rocks are part of the Belt Supergroup and have been divided into nine units. Precambrian units mapped …
Studies Of N⁵, N¹⁰-Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase From Porcine Kidney And Mouse L1210-Induced Tumor Tissues, Purification And Interaction With Antifolates, David W. Jayme
Theses and Dissertations
Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase has been purified 1000-fold from porcine kidney and 400-fold from mouse L1210-induced tumor tissue by classical methods. The enzyme preparations have been demonstrated to be essentially free of contaminating methionine synthetase and serine transhydroxymethylase activity. Studies of the kinetic properties of the kidney and tumor enzymes, with respect to the reverse reaction using N5-methyl tetrahydrofolate as the variable substrate, have indicated Km values of 2.0 and 2.4 x 10-4 M, respectively. Inhibition of this key branch point enzyme in folate metabolism by a number of antimetabolites indicates that several of these antifolate compounds exhibit enzyme inhibition superior …
Geology Of The Datil Area, Catron County, New Mexico, David A. Lopez
Geology Of The Datil Area, Catron County, New Mexico, David A. Lopez
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The Datil Mountains, Catron County, New Mexico, are an uplifted fault-block located along the northwestern margin of the San Augustin Plains, a Basin and Range structural basin.
No pre-Tertiary rocks occur in the study-area. All of the volcanic rocks are probably Oligocene in age, although the base of the lowest unit may be late Eocene. The oldest rocks belong to the Spears Formation and are divided into three members: A lower unit composed of andesite breccia flows and interbedded volcaniclastic conglomerate, 700+ ft (220+m); a feldspathic volcaniclastic sandstone, 100 ft (30 m); and upper porphyritic andesite flow rock, 100 ft …

The Problem
Introduction
The traditional philosophy that a college-or a university is an exclusive institution in which only highly selected individuals receive a concentrated training in the traditional liberal arts no longer exists. In America, for instance, as early as 1870, Harvard, the colonial college with a narrow curriculum, was transformed rather rapidly into a modern university with many new subjects and the elective system (Garrett, 1949). Also, since 1642, when the first entrance requirements were instituted for American higher education, a continuing debate has developed over what constitutes a sound curriculum for education. There are those who …
Calorimetric Determination Of The Interaction Of Cu, Fe, And V Oxides With So₂ And Measurement Of Sulfur (Iv) And Sulfur (Vi) In Particulate Samples From Utah Valley, Douglas F. Cannon
Calorimetric Determination Of The Interaction Of Cu, Fe, And V Oxides With So₂ And Measurement Of Sulfur (Iv) And Sulfur (Vi) In Particulate Samples From Utah Valley, Douglas F. Cannon
Theses and Dissertations
The adsorption of SO2 by metal oxides suspended in decane were studied by calorimetric titration. The adsorption per surface area decreases in order CuO > Cu2O > Fe2O3 > V2O5. An Andersen High Volume sampler was used to obtain particulate samples from five sites in Utah County. Particulate sulfur (IV) and sulfur (VI) was analyzed by thermometric titration with K2Cr2O7 and by a direct injection enthalpimetric determination using BaCl2. Results show that little oxidation of the S(IV) occurs after it is released from the Kennecott smelter stack.

Application Of Satellite Data And Lars' Data Processing Techniques To Mapping Vegetation Of The Dismal Swamp, Jeffrey Allan Messmore
Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
This study concerned the feasibility of using digital satellite imagery and automatic data processing (ADP) techniques as a means of mapping swamp forest vegetation. Multispectral scanner data acquired by the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1; renamed LANDSAT-1) was analyzed using ADP techniques developed by Purdue University's Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing (LARS). The site for this investigation was the Dismal Swamp, a 210,000 acre swamp forest located south of Suffolk, Va. on the Virginia-North Carolina border. Two basic classification strategies were employed in determining the vegetation mapping capability of ERTS-1 data. The initial classification utilized unsupervised techniques which produced …
Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Rome Formation In East Tennessee, Nabil Fahmi Samman
Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Rome Formation In East Tennessee, Nabil Fahmi Samman
Doctoral Dissertations
The late Early Cambrian Rome Formation is the oldest formation that is exposed widely across the Valley and Ridge Province. It is brought to the surface by major thrust faults, and in many cases is topographically the highest exposed formation; consequently, the bottom and the top of the Rome are usually missing. Nowhere is a complete section of the Rome formation exposed except in northeast Tennessee.
The Rome is a heterogeneous formation of red, maroon, brown and green colored sandstone, siltstone and shale and local beds of gray limestone and dolomite, all of which vary greatly in proportion and distribution …
Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Mount Rogers Formation, Virginia, Kenneth Morris Blondeau
Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Mount Rogers Formation, Virginia, Kenneth Morris Blondeau
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The Mount Rogers Formation of southwestern Virginia is a thick, upper Precambrian sequence of interbedded conglomeratic mudstones, rhythmically layered argillites, arkosic sandstones and conglomerates, polymict conglomerates, and associated rhyolitic and latitic flows and pyroclastics. The conglomeratic mudstone consists of unsorted, angular to sub rounded grains, ranging in size from silt up to boulders one meter in diameter, enclosed within a fine-grained hematitic matrix or cement. The rhythmically layered argillite is made up of thin, alternating couplets of light, very fine-grained sandstone or siltstone grading upward into dark red argillite. Many of the couplets contain "outsized" exotic clasts which penetrate and …

The Effect Of Nitroalkanes On The Electrolytic Oxidation Of Tertiary Butyl Amine And Tertiary Amyl Amine, Karl Lloyd Bergen
The Effect Of Nitroalkanes On The Electrolytic Oxidation Of Tertiary Butyl Amine And Tertiary Amyl Amine, Karl Lloyd Bergen
Theses and Dissertations
The electrolyses of tert.-butyl and tert.-amyl amines were run with a voltage of approximately 3v., as measured across the cell, with and without the presence of 1-2% nitro-tert.-alkane. A graphite anode was used; the supporting electrolyte was NaClO4; the solvent was the reacting amine(s) with 10-20% water to solubilize the NaClO4. The products were azo compounds, azoxy compounds, 1,3-disubstituted ureas and traces of nitroso compounds. In the case of tert.-butyl amine di-tert.-butyl carbodiimide was also shown to be a product. The presence of nitro compounds increased the yields of azoxy and nitroso compounds and decreased the yields of azo compounds. …
Synthesis And Stereochemistry Of 2,6,10-Triazatricyclo [5.2.1.0⁴ ¹⁰] Decane Derivatives, Susan Elaine Foulger
Synthesis And Stereochemistry Of 2,6,10-Triazatricyclo [5.2.1.0⁴ ¹⁰] Decane Derivatives, Susan Elaine Foulger
Theses and Dissertations
The synthesis and stereochemical aspects of derivatives of the new ring system 2,6,10-triazatricyclo [5.2.1.04,10] decane are discussed. Sythesis of 2-nitro-2-methyl-1,3-disubstitutedaminopropanes, followed by reduction of these compounds to 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-disubstituted aminopropanes afforded the necessary starting materials for a cyclization reaction similar to that resulting in already known 2,6-dioxa-10-azatricyclo [5.2.1.04,10] decanes. Reaction of the triamines with 2,5-hexanedione resulted in 2,6-disubstituted-1,4,7-trimethyl-2,6,10-triazatricyclo [5.2.1.04,10] decanes. The stereochemical aspects of this ring system are interesting from the standpoint of nitrogen inversion barriers on nitrogens 2 and 6. Existence of a high inversion barrier for these nitrogens in shown by isolation of different diastereomers of the tricycle. Methods …
