Some of the variables researched for this successful building bond referendum were: enrollment patterns, birth rates, cohort survival rates for the district and enrollment projections.

The researcher was involved with the facility study committee during the period of time the information was being collected. Once the …

Three-Dimensional Home Range Of The Eastern Fox Squirrel, Sciurus Niger, Joi L. Augustin

Masters Theses

Standard procedures for presenting home range data for species such as the fox squirrel on a single plane do not adequately represent the space they occupy. Comparisons of techniques for presenting the home range of this species on a three-dimensional basis were made using data obtained by direct observations of color marked squirrels. Three-dimensional ellipsoid models of their range varied from 9,154 m³ to 63,811 m³ and were assumed to be more accurate when observation points approached 50 in number. Rectangular parallelepipeds for the same data ranged from 9,784 m³ to 56,836 m³ and resulted in …

The Politics Of Repression: Argentina, 1976-79, Nattasin Chongsanguan

Masters Theses

Argentina in 1976 was a place of unusual paradox. The government with more than 60% of the popular vote seemed to have crumbled to the ground with almost no backing from those who had put it into office. Its downfall was due to its inability to resolve the "national crisis" facing the nation.

On 24 March 1976, the military finally intervened via a coup d'etat. Under the new regime, violations of human rights have been reported and protests have been made by leading human rights movements. The military junta argues that its policies and course of actions are necessary for …

Controlling The Number Of Metal Sites To Which A Polytertiary Phosphine Coordinates In Tungsten Carbonyls, Rodney D. Borger

Masters Theses

Judiciously selected coordinated fragments of Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPhCH₂-CH₂PPh₂ [(OC)₅WPPh₂H, (OC)₅WPPh₂CH=CH₂ and (OC)₅WPPh(CH=CH₂)₂] were used to construct its five possible nonchelated pentacarbonyltungsten complexes. These are the trimetallic (OC)₅WPPh[CH₂CH₂PPh₂W(CO)₅]₂ and the two pairs of constitutional isomers, (OC)₅WPPh[CH₂CH₂PPh₂]₂ and (OC)₅WPPh₂CH₂CH₂PPhCH₂CH₂PPh₂, and PPh[CH₂CH_{2 …}

Analysis Of Coal Fractions Using Dibromotriphenyl-Phosphorane: A Selective Ether Cleaving Reagent, Michael L. Ballard

Masters Theses

Dibromotriphenylphosphorane (DTP), in acetonitrile at 40°C, was found to cleave benzyl phenyl ether in preference to di-alkyl or other aryl alkyl ethers. Competition between 10 mmoles benzyl phenyl ether and 10 mmoles di-n-octyl ether for 0.92 mmole of DTP gave 48% cleavage of benzyl phenyl ether and 1.3% cleavage of di-n-octyl ether based on DTP. Reaction of benzyl phenyl ether and di-n-octyl ether separately with DTP at 40°C produced 80% and 8% cleavage, respectively. Reactions of DTP with diphenyl ether, butyl phenyl ether, phenyl cyclohexyl ether and benzyl benzoate at 40°C produced less than 3% cleavage in all cases.

Reaction …

Cis Labilization: A Study Of The Reactions Of Group 6 Pentacarbonyl Phosphido Anions, Matthew J. Madigan

Masters Theses

The synthesis of cis-(OC)₄M(PPh₂H)L (M=Cr,Mo,W; L=PPh₃,PPh₂Et,PPhEt₂,PEt₃) can be achieved by treating (OC)₅MPPh₂H with potassium tert-butoxide in the presence of L. […] The products are easily isolated and are not contaminated with trans isomers. Obtained as a minor product is [(OC)₄MPPh₂]₂.

The reaction of (OC)₅WPPh₂H with potassium tert-butoxide generates [(OC)₅WPPh₂]^- which reacts with (OC)₅WPPh₂H to give [(OC)₅WPPh₂W(CO)₅] …
