Cyclic Voltametry Studies Of Various Ylide Metallocenes, Mark Mojesky

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The redox potentials of [Fe(CpSMe₂)₂]²⁺ (CpSMe₂= dimethysulfoniumcyclopentadienflide), [Ni(CpSMe₂)₂]²⁺, [Co(CpSMe₂)₂]²⁺, [Mn(CpSMe₂)₂]²⁺, (CpPPh₃)HgBr₂ (CpPPh₃= triphenylphosphoniumcyclopentadienylide), (CpPPh₃)HgCl₂, and MoPC (PC = phthalocyanine) were examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The experimentation was carried out in a temperature controlled environment. With the exception of the mercury and molybdenum complexes, the solvent system consisted of 15 milliliter mixture of acetonitrile and water. Due to the solubility problems of the mercury bromide complex, …

A Study Of Seasonal Occurences & Movement Patterns Of Fishes In Barren River, William Kruskamp

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The ichthyofauna of the Barren River tailwater was studied from October 1979 to August 1980 to determine seasonal occurrences and movement patterns in relation to discharges from Barren River Lake. Thirteen families and 38 species were represented in the 15,408 fish captured. The season in which the greatest number of fish was captured was winter (7,731) with the highest monthly total occurring in February (5,159). These large totals resulted mostly from the presence of small gizzard shad. The greatest number of fish per kilometer of river sampled occurred in spring just below the dam at River Kilometer 127.

The Effects Of Denervation On Caudal Fin Regeneration In The Goldfish, Carassius Auratus (Linnaeus), Janet Rowlett

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Goldfish of the wild-strain variety, Carassius auratus, were used in the study of caudal fin regeneration. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of denervation on caudal fin regeneration.

In the experimental groups, it was evident that denervation did not prevent regeneration, although it was significantly reduced. Statistical analysis using the Duncan's Multiple Range Test showed a highly significant difference (0.01 % level) in the mean percentage of regeneration between the denerved group and the other three groups.

Caudal fins having proximal amputations regenerated at a faster rate than those having distal amputations, producing a higher …

The Effects Of Controlled Harvest On Some Biological Characteristics Of Smallmouth Buffalo In Rough River Lake, Kentucky, Dennis Webb

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

In Rough River Lake, Kentucky, effects of controlled harvest of some biological characteristics of smallmouth buffalo were investigated from December 1979 through July 1980. Spawning activity was monitored from 28 March through 24 July with buffalo larvae occurring for one week. A successful spawn was precluded by non-optimum water levels or other conditions operating in the lake. Commercial harvest was monitored from December 1979 through March 1980, and age and growth features were determined from 783 smallmouth buffalo representing a portion of the 3955 buffalo removed from Rough River Lake in 1979-80. A population estimate of the Rough River Lake …

A Comparison Of Perceived Employee Satisfaction With Downward Communication Within Department Stores In Cities Of Varying Size, Karen Attig

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Three retail department stores of varying size were compared to determine if store size affected employee attitudes toward downward communication. Chi-square and multivariate analyses were used to determine results based on a questionnaire administered to employees within three department stores. Employees within the small department store were found to be less satisfied with the communication received from their store manager than were employees in the medium size and large department stores. Employees within the large department store were found to be more satisfied with downward communication than subjects from other stores.
