Office for the Study of Aging: Alzheimer's Registry

The Statewide Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Registry is a voluntary statewide effort to record specific information about South Carolinians who develop AD and related disorders. This effort was established in April, 1988, with a $200,000 grant from the American Health Assistance Foundation. This initial award was matched with funds from the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Finance Commission, and supplemental funding was obtained from the Association of Schools of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control. In addition, in-kind support was received from a consortium of public and private agencies. The registry is housed in …


Rheology Of Aqueous Suspensions Of Polystyrene Latex Stabilized By Grafted Poly(Ethylene Oxide), Harry J. Ploehn, J. W. Goodwin Jan 1990

Rheology Of Aqueous Suspensions Of Polystyrene Latex Stabilized By Grafted Poly(Ethylene Oxide), Harry J. Ploehn, J. W. Goodwin

Faculty Publications

A water-soluble carbodiimide has been used to end-graft aminated poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) chemically onto colloidal polystyrene particles. Two particle sizes (115 and 347 nm diameter) and two PEO molecular weights (112 000 and 615 000 g mol–1) were combined to give suspensions with four different ratios of polymer layer thickness to particle radius. Electrophoresis demonstrated that the PEO was grafted, not just adsorbed. Dynamic light scattering showed that the adsorbed and grafted layers had similar structures and that non-ionic surfactant perturbed the PEO configurations. Steady shear and oscillatory rheometry indicated that long-ranged polymeric forces between particles governed the …


Electrochemical Behavior Of Graphite And Ni-Cr Electrodes In Sodium Polysulfide In The Absence And Presence Of Hydrogen Sulfide, Z. Mao, Ralph E. White, B. Dandapani, A. Anani, S. Srinivasan, A. J. Appleby Jan 1990

Electrochemical Behavior Of Graphite And Ni-Cr Electrodes In Sodium Polysulfide In The Absence And Presence Of Hydrogen Sulfide, Z. Mao, Ralph E. White, B. Dandapani, A. Anani, S. Srinivasan, A. J. Appleby

Faculty Publications

The electrochemical behavior of graphite and Ni-Cr electrodes in sodium tetrasulfide melt has been investigated using voltammetric, chronoamperometric, and chronopotentiometric techniques in the presence and absence of hydrogen sulfide. Two continuous phases, namely, Na2S2 and Na2S, are apparently formed at different potentials during the cathodic polarization. The blocking effect by these layers was much less significant on the Ni-Cr electrode than on graphite. The presence of H2S did not appear to influence the electrode reactions, but it significantly reduced the rate of formation of the continuous phases (Na2S2 or Na …


A Computer Simulation Of The Oxygen Reduction Reaction In Carbonate Melts, P. K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, A. J. Appleby Jan 1990

A Computer Simulation Of The Oxygen Reduction Reaction In Carbonate Melts, P. K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, A. J. Appleby

Faculty Publications

A computer simulation of the oxygen reduction reaction in various carbonate melts has been carried out under steady-state conditions on the basis of a proposed kinetic model which takes into consideration the autocatalytic reaction involving oxygen and other reducible oxygen species in the melt, and the neutralization of oxide ions by dissolved carbon dioxide. A simulation of the presence of (physically) dissolved oxygen, in the diffusion layer region of the melt, corresponding to the possible situation in porous electrodes, causes a significant enhancement in the polarization curves, particularly in the mass-transfer control region. On the other hand, high levels of …


Estimation Of The Diffusion Coefficient And Solubility For A Gas Diffusing Through A Membrane, Michael C. Kimble, Ralph E. White, Yu-Min Tsou, R. Neal Beaver Jan 1990

Estimation Of The Diffusion Coefficient And Solubility For A Gas Diffusing Through A Membrane, Michael C. Kimble, Ralph E. White, Yu-Min Tsou, R. Neal Beaver

Faculty Publications

Analysis of the data obtained by the electrochemical monitoring technique for diffusion of a gas through a membrane is considered. It is shown that combining a numerical method with a nonlinear parameter estimation technique provides a means to determine values for the diffusion coefficient and the solubility of the diffusing gas. It is shown that better accuracy can be obtained for the diffusion coefficient and solubility of this gas by using the method presented and all experimental data rather than only part of the data, as has often been done in the past.

Mathematical Model Of A Lithium/Polypyrrole Cell, Taewhan Yeu, Ralph E. White Jan 1990

Mathematical Model Of A Lithium/Polypyrrole Cell, Taewhan Yeu, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model to simulate the charge/discharge behavior of a lithium/lithium perchlorate-propylene carbonate/polypyrrole(Li/LiClO4-PC/PPy) secondary battery cell is presented. The model can be used to gain a better understanding of the behavior of this cell and to provide guidance toward the design of new secondary batteries which utilize an electronically conductive polymer such as polypyrrole (PPy) as the cathode. The model includes the capability of handling charge and discharge behavior and is used to study the effect of various design parameters on the performance of the cell.


The Effects Of Separator Design On The Discharge Performance Of A Starved Lead-Acid Cell, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White, Hiram Gu Jan 1990

The Effects Of Separator Design On The Discharge Performance Of A Starved Lead-Acid Cell, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White, Hiram Gu

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model of a starved lead-acid cell has been developed to study the dynamic behavior of the cell during discharge. Concentrated binary electrolyte theory and a volume-averaging technique were used to model the transport of electrolyte. The model can be used to predict cell voltage and profile of: acid concentration, overpotential, porosity, reaction rate, and electrode capacity, as functions of time. The effects of separator thickness and its porosity were examined with respect to cold-cranking amperage and reserve capacity of the battery. The separator was found to be a significant factor governing performance.

The Safety Of Maximal Exercise Testing, Larry W. Gibbons, Steven N. Blair, Harold W. Kohl Iii, Kenneth H. Cooper Oct 1989

The Safety Of Maximal Exercise Testing, Larry W. Gibbons, Steven N. Blair, Harold W. Kohl Iii, Kenneth H. Cooper

Faculty Publications

Previous reports on the safety of exercise testing have been based on surveys from different testing facilities with a variety of testing protocols and patient types. From 1971 through 1987, 71,914 maximal exercise tests conducted in a population with a low prevalence of known coronary heart disease under uniform conditions at a single medical facility resulted in six major cardiac complications including one death. No complications have occurred in the past 10 years in 45,000 maximal tests. The overall cardiac complication rate in men and women is 0.8 complications per 10,000 tests with 95% confidence intervals of 0.3-1.9 complications per …
