Radiative And Predissociative Lifetimes Of The A²Σ⁺ State Of Oh, Robert Allen Sutherland

Doctoral Dissertations

"Lifetime measurements have been made on the A²Σ⁺ state of OH by the delayed coincidence technique in conjunction with an interrupted rf discharge through water vapor. Lifetimes are reported for rotational states up to K = 29 and K = 20 in the v = 0 and v = 1 vibrational levels respectively and on the unresolved levels of v =2. A predissociation, previously predicted from relative intensity measurements, resulting from a curve crossing by the repulsive 4 Σˉ state, was observed for the rotational states above K = 23 of v = 0, for those above K = 14 …

Groundwater Of The Spiritwood Lake Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota, Frank J. Schulte

Theses and Dissertations

The Spiritwood Lake study area is in a generally undulating to rolling glacial plain 17 miles north and east of Jamestown, North Dakota. Spiritwood Lake is about 50 feet below the surface of the bedrock plain in a former melt-water channel. In the study area, glacial drift unconformably overlies the Pierre Shale, the youngest pre-Pleistocene sediment. The boundary between the two units is marked by a zone of shattered Pierre Shale. The top of this shattered zone forms a plain of moderate relief which probably was the preglacial surface of the study area.

Two large valleys can be distinguished in …

D-Structures And Their Semantics, Rohit J. Parikh

Publications and Research

"Many logicians are familiar with the game theoretic approach to semantics, due to Jaakko Hintikka. This paper by me contains class notes of a logic course at Boston University in fall 1972. It has similar game theoretic ideas, developed quite independently, but influenced by the work of A. Ehrenfeucht. It applies to a larger class of logics, including classical logic, intuitionistic logic and the *-semantics of Ehrenfeucht. The treatment is via D-structures which are finite approximations of infinite structures. For various reasons I did not publish this paper then, but some abstracts, both by myself as well as joint abstracts …

The Conductance Of Some Non-Rigid Bolaform Electrolytes, William Terry Schmidt

Masters Theses

Bolaform electrolytes are those which contain two or more charges separated by an inert framework. These are intermediate in structure between simple electrolytes and polyelectrolytes. Since these are similar to both synthetic and biological electrolytes, this investigation has been undertaken to determine some of their properties in solution.

The sodium and magnesium salts of ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane and decane α,ω-disulfonates were prepared. Each acid was prepared by refluxing the α,ω-dibromide of the desired salt with sodium sulfite. The sodium and magnesium salts were prepared by ion-exchange techniques.

The conductance of each salt was determined in methanol utilizing the …

Water Quality And Benthos Of A Small East Central Illinois Stream, With A Selected Literature Review, Kenneth Lloyd Brummett

Masters Theses

Polecat Creek is an occasionally intermittent stream which drains approximately 18,368 acres in eastern Coles County, Illinois. It travels 15.2 miles through cropland and a partially wooded valley before it enters the Embarrass River 3 miles upstream from Lake Charleston. The stream ranges from 0.5 foot to 5 feet deep at a normal water level, with an average depth of 16 inches. It averages 12 feet wide, with a range from 4 to 20 feet.

A water quality study with 5 stations along the stream was conducted from January 1971 to July 1971. A qualitative benthos study at the same …

The Thermal Rearrangement Of Triarylacetonitrile Oxides., Leslie Wayne Gibbs

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This research is a detailed study of the rearrangement of triarylacetonitrile oxides to the corresponding triarylmethylisocyanates. The kinetics of the rearrangement of triphenylacetonitrlle oxide was followed by infrared absorption spectroscopy using the peak due to the N-0 stretching (1307cm^-1). A study, both, using the differential method (i.e., a plot of the logs of the initial slopes vs. the log of the concentration) and a check of the integrated forms of the rate expressions to determine which gave a constant value for the rate constant showed that the reaction is first order.

From measurements of the rate constant, k, …

Birch Reduction Of Cinnamic Acid, John G. Little

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The use of alkali and alkaline earth metals as reducing agents in liquid ammonia solvent for aromatic and conjugated systems has been investigated by chemists at least since the early 1900's, e.g., Lebau and Picon (1). By subsequent additions of a proton source, the system yielded the first successful partial reduction of a monobenzenoid system, as reported by Wooster and Godfrey (2), in 1937. As a result of that success a patent was issued to Wooster for the process (3). Little additional work was reported until Birch and his co-workers picked up the investigation in the early 1940's. It was …

An Aircraft, Aerosol Sampling Program: Some Preliminary Results, J. F. Stampfer

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

An aircraft sampling program to determine the vertical and size distributions of that part of the atmospheric aerosol with radius greater than 0.25 μ is described. The feasibility of using a single engine aircraft and a light scattering particle analyzer, for this work, is shown. Examples of the data are given and preliminary conclusions are drawn about the normal size distribution, effect of lapse rate on the vertical aerosol concentration gradient, effect of relative humidity on the size distribution, and the possibility of producing high concentrations of giant particles aloft. © 1972.

A Correction To Classical Homogeneous Nucleation Theory For Polar Molecules Exhibiting An Electric Double Layer At The Liquid Surface, Daniel R. White, James L. Kassner

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

An oriented dipole surface layer is added to the classical liquid drop model of nucleation to account for the surface behavior of substances having polar nonsymmetrical molecules. The preliminary treatment of the change in free energy as given by Abraham is modified to include Fletcher's exponential decay of the degree of orientation. An additional correction for the excess binding energy due to the presence of a foreign molecule in the prenucleation cluster is included to account for the inflections observed in the experimental results of Allen and Kassner. The resulting free energy of formation is combined with the kinetic treatment …

Detection Of Energetic Heavy Ions, Robert Katz, S. C. Sharma, Mehdi Homayoonfar

Robert Katz Publications

The delta-ray theory of track structure, applied earlier to such 1-or-more hit detection systems as the inactivation of dry enzymes and viruses, the NaI(Tl) scintillation counter, and nuclear emulsion, is extended to the silver activated phosphate glass dosimeter, the LiF thermoluminescent dosimeter, the creation of free radicals in solid biological substances, solid and liquid organic scintillators, and the ferrous sulfate (Fricke) dosimeter. The response of these systems to both gamma-rays and heavy ions is characterized by two parameters: 1) D_γ³⁷, the dose of gamma-rays at which 37% of the sensitive elements remain unaffected by the radiation, and …

Late Quaternary Eustatic Sea-Level Changes Along The Malibu Coast, Los Angeles County, California, Peter W. Birkeland

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Late Quaternary relative sea-level changes along the Malibu coast can be deciphered by study of geomorphic features and marine and associated stream deposits. Evidence for such changes includes (a) stream downcutting in large valleys during low stands of sea level, (b) stream aggradation in the same valleys during high stands of sea level, and (c) marine shoreline angles whose altitudes coincide with the tops of valley-fill stream deposits. This evidence, and open-system uranium-series dates for shells from the Corral and Dume terrace deposits, provide a time scale for certain sea-level changes. Evidence from other …

Miocene Amphicyonids (Mammalia, Carnivora) From The Agate Spring Quarries, Sioux County, Nebraska, Robert M. Hunt Jr.

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

The Miocene late Arikareean land mammal "age" is largely defined by the faunal assemblage from the Agate Spring Quarries and other nearby localities in the Harrison Formation of Sioux County, Nebraska. Amphicyonid carnivores of the genera Cynelos Jourdan and Ysengrinia Ginsburg were previously known only from European Oligocene and Miocene deposits. These genera are now known from the Harrison Formation of Sioux and Box Butte counties, western Nebraska, and therefore the late Arikareean fauna now includes three amphicyonids: Cynelos sp., (?) Ysengrinia sp., Daphoenodon superbus Peterson. The stage of evolution of these carnivores suggests a correlation of the Agate Spring …

A Comparison Of The Effectiveness Of Worksheets And Manipulative Games Used In Seventh-Grade Mathematics As Methods Of Drill On The Four Basic Operations With Whole Numbers And Fractions, Richard Lee Capps

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was conducted in the fall of 1971 at Nell McGowen Junior High School, Knoxville, Iowa. The subjects of the study were 146 seventh-grade mathematics students. The students were ability grouped by the principal. No attempt was made to keep a constant sex ratio. The problem of this study was the comparison of two methods of drill on the four basic operations with whole numbers and fractions. The methods were games and worksheets. An analysis of covariance design was used to analyze the data. Achievement and attitude pre-test scores were covariates. Achievement and attitude post-test scores were dependent variables. …

Diffusiophoretic Forces Between Juxtaposed Atmospheric Particles, Allen L. Williams

Doctoral Dissertations

"The role of diffusiophoretics and Stefan flow in droplet growth by accretion and in-cloud scavenging is examined. A calculation is made for the diffusive forces between two juxtaposed spheres one or both of which are undergoing diffusional growth and the influence of the diffusive force on the trajectories of two spheres, assumed to obey the creeping flow equations is found. The results are: a) the diffusiophoretic force between two water droplets is zero. b) the diffusiophoretic force between a spherical ice particle and a water droplet, although non-zero, is too small to appreciably influence the fall trajectories. c) the diffusiophoretic …

The Utilization Of High Sensitivity Noble Gas Mass Spectrometry In The Detection Of Iodine-129 And Plutonium-244, Mervet S. Boulos

Doctoral Dissertations

"Mass spectrometric analysis of the xenon isotopes in natural gas wells demonstrates that radioactive isotopes of element number 53 (I) and element number 94 (Pu) were present at the time of the Earth's formation. Evidence for the now extinct nuclide¹²⁹I (t_1/2 = 17 x 10⁶ years) was found in CO₂ -rich gas while evidence for the now extinct ²⁴⁴Pu (t_1/2 = 82 x 10⁶ years) was discovered in other natural gas wells. The amounts of ¹²⁹I in thyroids was measured by combining neutron activation analysis with noble gas mass spectrometry. The current …

Condensation And Sublimation Of Carbon Dioxide And Water Molecules At Cryogenic Temperatures, Victor Cazcarra

Doctoral Dissertations

"Measurements of the condensation coefficient of CO₂ and H₂O have been made using a molecular beam and quartz crystal microbalances. The dependence of the condensation coefficient on variables such as population density on the substrate, temperature of the substrate, molecular beam intensity and temperature of the molecular beam, was investigated. The results are explained using heterogeneous nucleation theory for low density population, and a new approach for high density population is presented. The rate of sublimation of these two gases was measured directly. The results are reported in terms of vapor pressure in the range 10⁻⁹ to 10⁻⁴ Torr. The …

The Scattering Of Elastic Waves By Void Cavities, Jerry Lee Davis

Doctoral Dissertations

"Elastodynamic multipole theory, the theory of least squares, and the theory of integral representation of solutions are employed in solving certain problems involving an elastic solid containing a source and a scatterer. Both the source and scatterer are of finite geometrical extent; they occupy non-intersecting regions. The source is separable, i.e., its mathematical specification consists of an arbitrary vector function of position multiplied by a time function, which is further assumed to be a sinusoid. The scatterer emphasized is a finite void cavity of arbitrary shape; however, scatterers composed of rigid material may also be treated. The calculation of a …

Time-Dependent Ionization Equilibrium And Line Radiation Under Flarelike Conditions, Menas Kafatos, W. H. Tucker

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

The results of calculations for time-dependent ionization equilibrium and line emission are presented and compared with the values obtained under the assumption that steady-state conditions prevail. In the models considered, it is assumed that the electron density is constant (=10^3 cm^-3) and that the temperature increases by a factor of 10 from 3 x 10^6 K on timescales ranging from 100 to 300 s and decays back to 3 x 10^6 K on a timescale ranging from 600 to 1400 s. Ions of oxygen and silicon are considered, and it is found that the spectrum is softer during the rise …

Conflicts In Water Managment, A. Alvin Bishop

Faculty Honor Lectures

Today we hear a lot about the "quality of life" and the "quality of the environment," two terms that everyone understands, but as yet no one has defined. Like others, I will not attempt a definition but introduce my subject by saying that water is intimately tied up with both our life and our environment, and its management has a profound effect for good or bad, depending upon the point of view. Today also, clean water and anti-pollution are popular crusades. Someone or something has to be responsible and engineering and science are convenient scapegoats. Considerable emotionalism is involved and …
