Historic Preservation And The Civil Rights Movement Of The 1950'S And 1960'S: Identifying, Preserving, And Interpreting The Architecture Of Liberation, Robert Weyeneth

Faculty Publications

This report surveys the extent to which the civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's has been commemorated in the United States. It concludes that there are wide-ranging and imaginative efforts not only in the South but all over the counny that seek to identify, preserve, and interpret historic sites associated with the civil rights movement These efforts, however, have been hampered by the difficulties of commemorating chapters of history that are local, recellt, and controversial. These problems of selectivity are analyzed in order to facilitate incorporation of missing aspects of civil rights history into future heritage preservation projects. …

Discordance Between Lmp-Based And Clinically Estimated Gestational Age: Implications For Research, Programs, And Policy, Greg R. Alexander, Mark E. Tompkins, Donna J. Petersen, Thomas C. Hulsey, Joanne Mor

Faculty Publications

This study examines the comparability between the last menstrual period-based and clinically estimated gestational age as collected on certificates of live birth. It explores whether sociodemographic or delivery characteristics influence their agreement and contrasts health status and health care utilization indicators, such as preterm, small for gestational age, and adequacy of prenatal care percentages, produced by each gestational age measure. The 1989-91 South Carolina public use live birth files were used for this analysis. A total of 169,082 single births to resident mothers were selected for investigation.

The clinically estimated gestational age distribution exhibited a higher mean and a tendency …

Hydrogen-Atom Direct-Entry Mechanism Into Metal Membranes, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

The hydrogen-atom direct-entry mechanism is used to explain why the steady-state hydrogen permeation current density through a metal membrane is directly proportional to the cathodic current density, i_c, and is independent of the membrane thickness when i_c is small.

Electrowinning Of Non-Noble Metals With Simultaneous Hydrogen Evolution At Flow-Through Porous Electrodes Ii. Experimental, Mahmoud M. Saleh, John W. Weidner, Bahgat E. Ei-Anadouli, Badr G. Ateya

Faculty Publications

This paper presents an interpretation of the experimental results obtained on the electrowinning of zinc at a flow-through porous electrode in light of a mathematical model which was presented in Part I. The process is accompanied by simultaneous hydrogen evolution within the electrode, which increases the pore electrolyte resistivity and decreases the coulombic efficiency. We measured polarization curves, coulombic efficiencies, and current distributions under various conditions of zincate concentrations, flow rates, cell current, and electrode thickness. Reasonable agreement between the measured and predicted current distributions was obtained only under conditions of high electrolyte flow rates, low cell currents, and thinner …

Mathematical Modeling Of A Nickel-Cadmium Cell: Proton Diffusion In The Nickel Electrode, Pauline De Vidts, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

In this paper we present a mathematical model of a sealed nickel-cadmium cell that includes proton diffusion and ohmic drop through the active material in the nickel electrode. The model is used to calculate sensitivity coefficients for various parameters in the model. These calculations show that the discharge voltage of the cell is affected mostly by the kinetics of the nickel reaction. Toward the end of discharge, proton diffusion also becomes important, because the proton diffusion process affects the active material utilization significantly. During charge, the cell voltage is mainly affected by the kinetics of the nickel reaction until the …

Ac Impedance Studies On Metal Hydride Electrodes, Wenlin Zhang, M. P. Sridhar Kumar, Supramaniam Srinivasan, Harry J. Ploehn

Faculty Publications

The metal hydride (MH_x) electrode is the negative electrode in one of the most advanced secondary batteries (i.e.,nickel/metal hydride). The objective of this study is to obtain insight on the mechanism of the hydriding/dehydridingreaction in the battery by using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique. An equivalent circuit for the MH_x electrode reaction is proposed. The rate capability of charge and discharge of the MH_x electrode is determined by thekinetics of the charge-transfer reaction at the alloy surface, which is mainly represented by the EIS responses in the lowfrequency region. Transient and pseudo-steady-state analyses …

The Effect Of Current And Nickel Nitrate Concentration On The Deposition Of Nickel Hydroxide Films, Christopher C. Streinz, Andrew P. Hartman, Sathya Motupally, John W. Weidner

Faculty Publications

An electrochemical quartz crystal nanobalance (EQCN) has been utilized to measure the mass of Ni(OH)₂ films electrochemically deposited from Ni(NO₃)₂ solutions. The objective of this work was to quantify electrochemical deposition as a function of deposition conditions. The changing mass recorded on the EQCN was demonstrated to be the result of Ni(OH)₂ deposition. Deposited mass was observed to increase proportionally with applied charge as suggested by previous investigators. Most significantly, the rate of deposition was found to decrease more than an order of magnitude as the Ni(NO₃)₂ concentration increased from 0.2 to …

Proton Diffusion In Nickel Hydroxide Films: Measurement Of The Diffusion Coefficient As A Function Of State Of Charge, Sathya Motupally, Christopher C. Streinz, John W. Weidner

Faculty Publications

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to measure the solid-state diffusion coefficient of protons in nickel hydroxide films at room temperature as a function of state of charge (SOC). A model for the complex faradaic impedance of the nickel hydroxide active material is presented and used to extract the diffusion coefficient of protons from the EIS data. Impedance data over a range of frequencies can be used to extract a constant diffusion coefficient without the knowledge of the initial mobile proton concentration or the form of the charge-transfer kinetic expression. The proton diffusion coefficient is a strong function of SOC …

A Boundary-Layer Model Of A Parallel-Plate Electrochemical Reactor For The Destruction Of Nitrates And Nitrites In Alkaline Waste Solutions, Shailesh Prasad, John W. Weidner, Andrew E. Farell

Faculty Publications

Electrochemical processes appear to be attractive for treating low level nuclear wastes. The development of a simple divided electrochemical-cell model operating in a batch mode, used for the reduction of nitrates and nitrites from nuclear wastes, is presented. This model, based on a boundary-layer approach, is simple and yet encompasses the key features of a previously developed distributed-parameter model that includes diffusion, migration, and convection as the flux components. Because it dramatically reduces computation time, this boundary-layer model is well suited for use in a complex interactive flowsheet model and for optimization studies. The boundary-layer model is used to predict …

The Effect Of Temperature And Ethanol On The Deposition Of Nickel Hydroxide Films, Christopher C. Streinz, Sathya Motupally, John W. Weidner

Faculty Publications

The objective of this work was to determine the effect of the temperature and the ethanol content of the Ni(NO₃)₂ solution on: (i) the efficiency of electrochemical deposition of nickel hydroxide; and (ii) the molecular weight of the deposited film. An electrochemical quartz crystal nanobalance (EQCN) was used to measure the mass of films electrochemically deposited from Ni(NO₃)₂ solutions and constant current discharges were used to determine the electrochemical capacity of the films. The data indicates that increasing the temperature increases both the efficiency of the deposition reaction and the …
