Heavy Metals In The Water And Wastewater Systems Of The University Of Central Florida, William Keith Mccully Apr 1979

Heavy Metals In The Water And Wastewater Systems Of The University Of Central Florida, William Keith Mccully

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

In large enough quantities, heavy metals may be detrimental to human health. Metals in raw water may pass through a water treatment plant without being completely removed. Once in a the distribution system, the water may experience metal pick-up due to corrosion. During the course of this study, an attempt was made to determine the heavy metal concentrations in the University of Central Florida's potable water systems. Samples were fun on the plasma spectrophotometer, Spectraspan III, and analyzed for heavy metal content. The results indicate pick-up of Fe, Al, Cu, and Zn in the distribution system. The arsenic and lead …

Methods For Increasing Children's Comprehension Of Prosocial Values As Transmitted Through Television Programs, Lissette E. Villanueva Apr 1979

Methods For Increasing Children's Comprehension Of Prosocial Values As Transmitted Through Television Programs, Lissette E. Villanueva

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This study examined the effect of intervening commentary and generalization discussions upon the generalization of prosocial values as transmitted through a commercially broadcast prosocial television program. The subjects participating were 50 first graders and 50 third graders. They were randomly assigned to one of five treatment conditions (control, film only, film with commentary, film with generalization, and film with commentary and generalization). Contrary to predications, the intervening commentary used as a means of directing attention to the critical points in the story, did not have an effect upon the comprehension of the values implied in the program. It is suggested …

Treatment And Disposal Of Hazardous Wastes In The East Central Florida Region, Tracey Bell Jan 1979

Treatment And Disposal Of Hazardous Wastes In The East Central Florida Region, Tracey Bell

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Although the East Central Florida area is not heavily industrialized, its dependence on groundwater resources makes it especially vulnerable to contamination by poor waste disposal practices. The East Central Florida area was studied to discover the nature and disposal of hazardous wastes generated. It was found that a large portion of hazardous wastes in the region were from very small industries, distributors, and even consumers. Three of the most toxic and/or voluminous waste problems in the area--metal plating wastes, pesticide wastes, and hospital wastes--were studied to determine available alternatives for disposal and their costs.

Accelerated Flight Test Data As A Basis For Forecasting Logistical Requirements Of Military Aircraft, Charles James White

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The initial forecasting of logistical support for new types of military aircraft is a perplexing problem. The objective of this research was to investigate the feasibility of using data generated by the accelerated flight tests as a basis for forecasting the logistical field requirements. The data used in the study were obtained from the U.S. Army Aviation Board, Fort Rucker, Alabama, where performance tests are conducted on all new aircraft to determine their suitability for Army use. It was statistically shown that the use of these data could provide more realistic logistical forecasts earlier in the introductory phase of the …

The Biodegredation Of Vehicular Waste Petroleum In The Roadside Environment, Jesse W. Johnson Jan 1979

The Biodegredation Of Vehicular Waste Petroleum In The Roadside Environment, Jesse W. Johnson

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Bacteria from dry and wet roadside environments were examined for the ability to degrade hydrocarbons. The kinds and numbers of bacteria observed were similar to those reported in other petroleum contaminated environments. Surface soils (top 2.5 cm) immediately adjacent to the highway pavement and the sediments of shallow drainage ditches contained the highest concentrations of petroleum degrading bacteria (9.8 x 107 CFU/g). Concentration and species diversity of petroleum degrading bacteria decreased with distance from the highway pavement. Chromatographic analysis of highway stormwater runoff and the soil in close proximity to the highway indicated the presence of complex hydrocarbon mixtures of …

Separation Of 1,3-Pentadiene With Molecular Sieves, Steven R. Schwinn Jan 1979

Separation Of 1,3-Pentadiene With Molecular Sieves, Steven R. Schwinn

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The feasibility of separating piperylene (1,3-pentadiene) from a mixture of five-carbon olefins and diolefins with Linde 5A Molecular Sieves was investigated. Olefins and especially diolefins are very reactive and tend to polymerize on the highly polar adsorptive surface thereby clogging the pores of themolecular sieve. It is believed that the acid sites within the zeolite cages catalyze this polymerization reaction and that poisoning of these sites by adsorption of a nitrogenous base (ethylenediamine, dimethylamine or ammonia) or hydrogen sulfide inhibits the formation of polymers. Two criteria were used in the evaluation of the polymerization inhibitors tested. First, a series of …

A Comparative Study Of Computer-Assisted Instruction Versus Classroom Training Of Naval Technicians Of Varying Aptitude Levels, Daniel J. Dwyer Jan 1979

A Comparative Study Of Computer-Assisted Instruction Versus Classroom Training Of Naval Technicians Of Varying Aptitude Levels, Daniel J. Dwyer

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Any discussion of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) cannot proceed very far without first examining the issue of programmed instruction (PI). CAI is a relatively recent development in the area of education and training, whereas PI enjoys a somewhat longer history. Nonetheless, PI lies at the very heart of CAI and forms the base on which CAI exists. CAI then, may be viewed as a mode or type of PI. B. F. Skinner's work in the 1940's with the principles of operant conditioning laid the groundwork for the concept of PI (Garner, 1966). Operant conditioning is a type of conditioning whereby an …

Molecular Size Distributions Of Heavy Metals In Lake Washington, William B. Andrews

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Four untreated and one magnesium treated water samples from Lake Washington, the potable water source for the city of Melbourne, Florida, were collected and analyzed for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni, Zn, Mb, Ca, and color on the basis of molecular weight distribution. Molecular weight distributions of the samples were obtained using a Millipore ultrafiltration system and filters in the following sizes: 106, 105, 2.5 x 104, 104, and 103 nominal molecular weight limits (nmwl). Color causing materials in the untreated samples were found to be located in the molecular weight fraction greater than 2.5 x 104 nmwl. …
