Apparatus For Dielectric Constant Measurements And Measurements For Water-Methanol Mixtures, James O. Wear

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A system for measuring dielectric constants has been constructed using a Sargent Oscillometer and an air bath for temperature control. The design and construction of the air bath as well as the temperature control achieved with it are described. The overall performance of the system including a computer program for forming the calculations is described. The system is one that requires calibration using two or more standard solvents and is good for both conducting and non-conducting liquids. Data are presented for water-methanol mixtures at 25 degrees with several points near pure methanol and also near pure water

Absolute Excitation Cross Sections Of He⁺ In 20-100 Kev He⁺-He Collisions Using Energy-Loss Spectrometry, Donald Roy Schoonover

Doctoral Dissertations

"Application of positive-ion energy-loss spectrometry has been extended to include experimental determination of absolute excitation cross sections of ground state helium ions. Helium ion-atom collisions were studied for impact energies ranging between 20-100 keV, in 10 keV intervals. The data were taken with an apparatus resolution between 0.6-o.8 eV FWHM. Cross sections for transitions from ground state to the second and third principal quantum levels of the ion plotted as a function of impact energy were still rapidly increasing at 100 keV. The cross sections at this energy were 1.64(± 0.28) x 10⁻¹⁸cm² for He⁺(l²s_1/2) -> He⁺(n = …

Excitation Of Hydrogen Atoms By Fast Protons, Edward Ellis Fitchard

Physics Theses & Dissertations

In this thesis a theoretical study is made of excitation of hydrogenic atom by charged particles such as protons or electrons. The approximation to the cross section for an inelastic scattering process is obtained under the following radically simplifying assumptions. The projectile is represented in its initial and final state by plane waves. All distortions are neglected whether they originate in an inelastic process or an elastic deflections of the charged particle by the nucleus. The perturbation of the atomic orbits between which the projectile induces transitions is neglected. Nonrelativistic hydrogenic wave functions are used for the electronic states. In …

The Radial Distribution Curve Of "Anomalous" Water By X-Ray Diffraction, Jerome Dechelette

Masters Theses

"Amorphous and liquid samples, believed to be "anomalous" water were studied by X-ray diffraction. A diffusion ring, characteristic of liquids and glass was observed at Θ =10.5º. For purposes of comparison an X-ray diffraction pattern was obtained for pure water under nearly identical conditions. By means of a microdensitometer, X-ray intensity curves were prepared from the diffraction patterns and corrected for absorption and polarization. From the Fourier transform of the intensities, we obtained the radial distribution curves. The radial distribution curve for water, obtained in previous work, shows an initial peak at 2.9Å. This peak is due to the nearest …

The Assignment Problem And A Suboptimal Solution Technique, William Barry Gregory

Masters Theses

"A technique is presented which finds a fast suboptimal solution to the assignment problem. This same technique is then applied to two large dynamic programming problems for which the optimal solution is not known. These examples illustrate how easily this technique can be applied and that it is better than most optimizing techniques because it is fast, cheap and only minor hand calculations are needed. The effect of different initial solutions and their value are compared and it is found that the initial solution is not as significant in a suboptimal technique as in an optimizing technique. The initial solution …

Modified Method Of Linear Associative Retrieval, James Donald Byrd

Masters Theses

"It is becoming increasingly important for those in decision making positions to have the most current and accurate data possible as related to their particular needs. Although there are several well known retrieval techniques available an intensified effort is being made at many installations to provide a retrieval system that will supply the demands of their own needs. One well known approach to the solution of information retrieval is linear associative retrieval. The solution that has been proposed requires several computer runs on some requests and therefore is very time consuming. The author has implemented a method to eliminate unnecessary …

Evaluation And Application Of Dye Tracers In Karst Terrain For Determining Aquifer Characteristics, Milton Frank Bradley

Masters Theses

"As ground water becomes increasingly important as a source of water in the United States, reliable information on the hydrological characteristics of carbonate aquifers must be obtained in order to develop them intelligently. Various tracers have been used in the past to determine if two or more points are connected hydrologically. Today there exists a number of excellent dye tracers and tracer methods have been developed in unconsolidated and clastic aquifers for determining hydrological characteristics. This paper reviews the various dye tracers and methods which might be applied in a carbonate karst terrain using wells as injection and sampling points. …

Metabolism Of 3-Iodotyrosine And 3,5-Diiodotyrosine By Thyroid Extracts, Shih-Ying Sun

Masters Theses

"A porcine thyroid enzyme was extracted from thyroid tissue by homogenization and differential centrifugation. The enzyme was capable of metabolizing both 3-iodotyrosine and 3,5-diiodotyrosine. All of the thyroid subcellular particles produced a fluorescent compound when incubated with these substrates. When the 1,000 x g sediment was supplemented with the 48,000 x g supernatant a second compound was formed. The compound was UV absorbing and has been identified as either 3-iodo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 3,5-diiodo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde depending upon which substrate was used. The 1,000 x g sediment was solubilized with 1% Conoco 1012-6 detergent. The activating factor in the 48,000 x g supernatant was …

The Semibullvalene Question: A Semi-Empirical Molecular Orbital And Bond Energy Approach, Shiow Yeh Lee

Masters Theses

"Semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations of the Extended Ruckel and MIND0/1 type have been performed on semibullvalene and the supposed transition state for its degenerate [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement. The results have been coupled with bond energy calculations to ascertain whether semibullvalene is homo-aromatic or is undergoing a rearrangement of exceedingly low activation energy. A preponderance of the resulting data suggests that semibullvalene is homo-aromatic"--Abstract, page ii.
