Soot Formation During Pyrolysis Of Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Modeling, Shock-Tube, Acetylene, Butadiene)., David Warren Clary
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A study combining experimental, empirical modeling, and detailed modeling techniques has been conducted to develop a better understanding of the chemical reactions involved in soot formation during the high-temperature pyrolysis of aromatic and other unsaturated hydrocarbons. The experiments were performed behind reflected shock waves in a conventional shock-tube with soot formation monitored via attenuation of a laser beam at 633nm. Soot-formation measurements were conducted with toluene-argon and benzene-argon mixtures. Detailed kinetic models of soot formation were developed for pyrolyzing acetylene, butadiene, ethylene and benzene. The computational results indicate the importance of compact, fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as soot intermediates and …

An Engineering Approach To Model-Order Reduction And Its Application To Controller Design., Alexius Ogbusua Kalu
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A new method of approximating a high-order system by a lower-order model in the frequency domain is developed. A reduced-order model of a transfer function obtained by the new method is compared with a reduced-order model obtained by another existing method to illustrate the power of the technique. Furthermore the approximant constructed by this new method is used to design a control system, which is applicable to the plant, to show its usefulness. The thesis also suggests some mathematical criteria for selecting the order of the approximant. This technique is particularly attractive because of its simplicity and versatility. Furthermore, it …

Production And Nitrogen Dynamics Of A Vallisneria Americana Grass Bed In Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana (Nitrogen Cycle, Modeling, Seagrasses, Decomposition Phenology, Vallisneria-Celery Grass-Eelgrass, Environmental Factors)., Diana Lee Steller
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Vallisneria americana grass beds of Lake Pontchartrain contribute approximately 200 g dry weight/m('2)/yr primary production, a continuous release of detrital material, and rapid nutrient recycling. A harvest method was used to estimate production. The addition of litterfall to harvest production raised annual production estimates by up to 28%. When litterfall was corrected for decomposition, the production estimates were raised by up to 85% over harvest estimates alone. Litterfall and decomposition increased toward shore and occurred throughout the year providing a continuous supply of energy and nutrients. Grass bed production varied along the coastline and was greatest at mid-depths. Values of …
Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Organics (Wet-Air, Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium, Synergism, Free Radical, Xylene, Phenol)., Richard Scott Willms
Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Organics (Wet-Air, Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium, Synergism, Free Radical, Xylene, Phenol)., Richard Scott Willms
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Fundamental disappearance kinetics parameters have been obtained for four compounds individually subjected to aqueous phase oxidation. These four compounds are m-xylene, phenol, tetrachloroethylene, and malathion. Concentration histories were obtained using a one liter "sampled-batch" reactor. Reaction conditions ranged from 114-290 (DEGREES)C and 1000-2500 psi air. A kinetics model incorporating vapor-liquid equilibrium effects was developed and used to determine reaction rate constants. The reactions were found to be first order in organic and 1/2 order in oxygen. Induction periods were observed for m-xylene and phenol. The durations of these periods were found to be inversely proportional to oxygen concentration. Activation energies …
Metal Ion, Protein, Phytic Acid Interactions., Elaine Thompson Champagne
Metal Ion, Protein, Phytic Acid Interactions., Elaine Thompson Champagne
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Insight into the mineral, protein, phytate relationships in rice bran was gained by examining the solubility behavior of these components. Solubility profiles of the phosphorus and nitrogen components as a function of pH did not correspond, except in the pH 1.0-2.0 range. This is evidence that association between protein and phytate only occurred in this low pH range. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium solubilities as a function of pH corresponded to those of the phytic acid salts of these minerals. Soluble magnesium and potassium phytates were isolated on Sephadex G-25-50 and identified by ICP, confirming their presence in rice bran. The …
The Population Ecology And Nutrient Transport Of Gulf Menhaden In Fourleague Bay, Louisiana (Mortality, Growth, Feeding, Production, Migration)., Linda Ann Deegan
The Population Ecology And Nutrient Transport Of Gulf Menhaden In Fourleague Bay, Louisiana (Mortality, Growth, Feeding, Production, Migration)., Linda Ann Deegan
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
An ecological study of the young-of-the-year of three year-classes of gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) was conducted from July 1981 to December 1983 in Fourleague Bay, Louisiana. This study documented gulf menhaden population ecology and the importance of gulf menhaden in the nutrient and energy balance of estuaries. Young-of-the-year gulf menhaden immigrated in winter and moved to tidal creeks and ponds, where they remained until midsummer. They then moved into open bays, where they remained until the fall. This migration pattern coincides with sequentially available, but spatially separate, productivity peaks in marsh and open bays. In the fall, they emigrated to …
Studies Of Grain Boundary Structure And Annealing Behavior In Nickel Using Transmission Electron Microscopy (Tem, Dislocation)., An-Chich Chou Han
Studies Of Grain Boundary Structure And Annealing Behavior In Nickel Using Transmission Electron Microscopy (Tem, Dislocation)., An-Chich Chou Han
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Transmission electron microscopy has been used to study grain boundary structure and dislocation reactions in annealed pure nickel sheets. In slightly annealed nickel, the dislocation content and distribution in grain boundaries were found to be random. After annealing at 800(DEGREES)C, a temperature within the recovery and recrystallization stage, the majority of grain boundaries contained periodic arrays of dislocations. The hexagonal dislocation networks with Burgers vectors of the type of a/6 were found in a large number of twin boundaries. The origin and the formation mechanisms of this configuration are discussed. The incorporation of absorbed lattice dislocations in the boundary during …
Part I: Comparison Of An "As-Needed" And "Full-Season" Insecticide Application Schedule For Control Of Cotton Insects In Northeast Louisiana. Part Ii: The Utilization Of Vegetable Oil As A Carrier For Ultra-Low-Volume Aerial Sprays Applied For Cotton Insect Control., Henry Russ Mitchell
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A small plot study to determine the effects of a "as-needed" and "full-season" insecticide regime on the major arthropods, growth, and yield of cotton was conducted over a three year period (1982-1984). In the "as-needed" regime, acephate (4 g/kg of seed) was applied as a seed treatment at planting and application of foliar insecticides were initiated when cotton insect pests reached the threshold level. In the "full-season" regime, aldicarb (0.05 kg/ha) was applied in-furrow at planting and application of foliar insecticides were initiated when squares reached 1/3 grown and continued on a six to seven day schedule throughout the season. …

Dependence Of Fishery Species On Salt Marshes: The Role Of Food And Refuge, Donald F. Boesch, R. Eugune Turner
Dependence Of Fishery Species On Salt Marshes: The Role Of Food And Refuge, Donald F. Boesch, R. Eugune Turner
Faculty Publications
Salt marshes are widely believed to serve as nurseries for many fishes and crustaceans of fishery value as a result of the high production of vascular plant detritus and the protection from predation offered by shallow, spatially complex habitats. Comparisons of the yields of species which reside in salt marsh habitats during critical life history stages (such as penaeid shrimp) with the area of such habitats and their greater densities in flooded marshes and associated tidal creeks support the premise that marshes enhance the yield of such species. A range of evidence, including the amount of detrital export from marshes, …

Hydrocracking Of Model Coal Derived Liquid Components Over A Zeolite Catalyst. (Volumes I And Ii) (Fluorene, Decalin)., William David Constant
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Hydrocracking of fluorene was investigated over a nickel loaded Y zeolite in a fixed bed flow reactor using decalin as a donor solvent. This system served as a model for typical commercial donor solvent operations in order to develop a representative kinetic model and propose a reaction mechanism for refining of coal derived liquids. After performing a qualitative investigation, base operating conditions of 661(DEGREES)K, 14.8 bar total pressure, 20 weight percent fluorene in decalin and a hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio of 42 at a space-time of 4.8 seconds were established for the process. For each experimental series, the variable of …

Characterization Of Iron-Ruthenium Bimetallic Catalyst Systems (Methanation, Moessbauer, Zeolite)., M. Mehdi Akbarnejad
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Due to the potential of iron-ruthenium bimetallic heterogeneous catalysis in a number of high demand, energy related processes, this study was undertaken to synthesis and characterize a series of bimetallic Iron-Ruthenium alloy and clusters. A material science approach was taken which relies on the physical and chemical characterization of catalyst material itself rather than the classical chemical kinetics investigation of the catalytic reaction. Various methods have been employed for the determination of surface and bulk properties of catalysts during dehydration-hydration, and oxidation-reduction treatments. In the case of the bimetallic systems, the use of ('99)Ru and ('57)Fe double labelled Mossbauer experiments …
Progeny Studies And Genotype X Environment Interactions For Yield And Other Characters In Sweet Potatoes, Ipomoea Batatas, L. (Path Analysis, Heritability, Correlations)., Marc J. J Janssens
Progeny Studies And Genotype X Environment Interactions For Yield And Other Characters In Sweet Potatoes, Ipomoea Batatas, L. (Path Analysis, Heritability, Correlations)., Marc J. J Janssens
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A multi-environmental trial was conducted in Rwanda, located in the highlands of Central Africa. The trial consisted of 26 cultivars of sweet potatoes repeated over 11 environments. Genotype X environment (G X E) interactions were highly significant for vine yield, fresh root yield, number of roots, and dry matter yield. Average root weight was not significant for G X E interactions. The G X E variance component was generally more important than the variance component for cultivars. From pathway analysis it was concluded that the G X E effects of dry matter yield were little determined by the G X …
Stewardship Of Creation: Some Implications For Economic Theory And Policy., John Harlan Mcdonald
Stewardship Of Creation: Some Implications For Economic Theory And Policy., John Harlan Mcdonald
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Neoclassical economic theory defines an optimal or efficient allocation of natural resources as one which secures the maximum output of preferred goods and services, or as an allocation in which the resources are used in their highest valued uses. The theory is based on two important normative assumptions: the welfare of the community is an increasing function of the individual's welfare, and an individual is better off in a freely chosen position. These assumptions form a subjective theory of value which locates the source of intrinsic value in the individual's tastes and preferences; value or wealth is whatever satisfies the …
A Regression Model To Measure The Impact Of Actual And Proposed Class Scheduling Policies On Electricity Consumption: A Case Study At Louisiana State University., Enrique Mejorada
A Regression Model To Measure The Impact Of Actual And Proposed Class Scheduling Policies On Electricity Consumption: A Case Study At Louisiana State University., Enrique Mejorada
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Universities have adopted many programs to conserve electricity and counteract its high costs. Electricity can be conserved by adopting a class scheduling policy which schedules a reduced number of classes when the weather is more inclement. A regression model is postulated to measure the impact of the actual class scheduling policy on the 3-hourly electricity consumption at Louisiana State University. This model explicitly considers the effects of students' load, temperature, and humidity, and implicitly considers variables such as electricity prices and implemented electricity conservation programs through dummy variables. Also, two- and three-way interaction effects are considered in this model. Since …
A Time Series Model Of The Controller Functions Of The Human Temperature Regulating System., Mohsen Neghabat
A Time Series Model Of The Controller Functions Of The Human Temperature Regulating System., Mohsen Neghabat
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The objective of this study is to develop time series models of the controller mechanisms of the human temperature regulating system. The controller responses are: changes in metabolic heat production, changes in evaporative heat loss and alterations in the surface blood flow. After evaluating the models developed for the controller mechanisms, the models are validated in the context of a complete simulation model of temperature regulation. Additionally, upper and lower limits are set for the controller responses. Because of the nature of the data available for surface blood flow, this controller response is not represented by time series models. Published …
