A Mathematical Model Of The Self-Discharge Of A Ni-H2 Battery, Z. Mao, Ralph E. White Jan 1991

A Mathematical Model Of The Self-Discharge Of A Ni-H2 Battery, Z. Mao, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A simple mathematical model is presented and used to characterize the self-discharge of a nickel oxyhydroxide(NiOOH) electrode in a hydrogen environment. This model includes diffusion of dissolved hydrogen in an electrolyte film which covers a flooded electrode, electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen, reduction of nickel oxyhydroxide, and changes of surface area and of porosity of the electrode during the self-discharge process. Although the self-discharge process is complicated, the predictions of the model are consistent with experimental results reported in the literature, which include linear relationships between the logarithm of hydrogen pressure and time and between the logarithm of the capacity remaining …

Institutional Investors And The New Corporate Governance, Jayne W. Barnard Jan 1991

Institutional Investors And The New Corporate Governance, Jayne W. Barnard

Faculty Publications

During the last decade, American capital markets have experienced a marked shift from a constituency made up primarily of household investors to one made up primarily of institutional investors. Institutional investors are fiduciary bodies such as pension funds, mutual funds, and employee stock ownership plans, representing large numbers of beneficiaries. As collective entitites, institutional investors often amass billions of dollars in assets, thus giving them the potential for substantial influence on the companies in which they invest. In recent years, some institutional investors have sought to use this influence to challenge traditional patterns of corporate governance, claiming that new patterns …

Estimates Of Census Underenumeration Based On Genealogies, John W. Adams, Alice Bee Kasakoff Jan 1991

Estimates Of Census Underenumeration Based On Genealogies, John W. Adams, Alice Bee Kasakoff

Faculty Publications

We have been studying the migrations of the descendants of nine men who came to Massachusetts before 1650 and have compiled a computerized database that includes all the people born before 1860 in the patrilines. Thus we have what the nine genealogists who studied these families thought was close to a complete list of family members alive in 1850. Here we focus on our attempts to find these individuals on the 1850 federal census.

Review: Theophoric Personal Names In Ancient Hebrew: A Comparative Study, Dana M. Pike Jan 1991

Review: Theophoric Personal Names In Ancient Hebrew: A Comparative Study, Dana M. Pike

Faculty Publications

A revision of the author's doctoral dissertation (University of Liverpool, 1980), the main purpose of this volume "is to discover what concepts of the deity are revealed in Hebrew personal names, and to find out to what extent Hebrew ideas concerning the deity are distinct from those of other Semitic religions" (p. 19).


Weak Localisation Theory For Lightly Doped Semiconductor Quantum Wires, G. Y. Hu, R. F. O'Connell Dec 1990

Weak Localisation Theory For Lightly Doped Semiconductor Quantum Wires, G. Y. Hu, R. F. O'Connell

Faculty Publications

A weak localisation theory for a semiconductor quantum wire, which has a width of the order of the Fermi wavelength is presented. In the model the electronic motion is essentially one-dimensional and the localisation length L1 is much larger than the mean free path l, so that, in contrast to conventional theories a non-localised quantum wire with a total length Lproperties, the authors study the temperature dependence and the subbands effect of the weak localisation. They find that when (the phase coherent length) Lphi>L, the conductance of the quantum wire depends on L instead of Lphi, implying a temperature …

Exercise Tolerance And Alcohol Intake: Blood Pressure Relation, G. Harley Hartung, Harold W. Kohl Iii, Steven N. Blair, Steven J. Lawrence, Ronald B. Harrist Nov 1990

Exercise Tolerance And Alcohol Intake: Blood Pressure Relation, G. Harley Hartung, Harold W. Kohl Iii, Steven N. Blair, Steven J. Lawrence, Ronald B. Harrist

Faculty Publications

The relations of systolic and diastolic blood pressures to alcohol intake and exercise tolerance levels in 15,612 men and 3,855 women were investigated. Alcohol intake was assessed by questionnaire and stratified into seven levels for men and six for women according to the ounces of ethanol consumed per week. Exercise tolerance was determined by maximal treadmill exercise testing and was categorized into six age-specific by sex-specific levels. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly related to both alcohol intake and exercise tolerance levels in both men and women. These relations, which were positive for alcohol and negative for exercise …

Analysis Of Bacterial Genome Organization And Replication Using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, A. Dingwall, L. Shapiro, Bert Ely Oct 1990

Analysis Of Bacterial Genome Organization And Replication Using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, A. Dingwall, L. Shapiro, Bert Ely

Faculty Publications

The techniques described in this chapter provide a framework with which to begin an analysis of important features of bacterial genome organization and gene function. In this report we describe the preparation of chromosomal DNA, conditions for digestion with restriction endonucleases, and electrophoretic methods that result in the optimal resolution of large DNA restriction fragments. The sizes of the separated fragments can be summed to accurately determine genome size. The fragments can also be probed in hybridization experiments to produce low-resolution genomic restriction maps, and the precise locations of insertion or deletion mutations can be rapidly identified. In addition, PFGE …

Computer Simulation Study Of Conductivity In A 2-Dimensional Binary Fluid Mixture, Ras B. Pandey Sep 1990

Computer Simulation Study Of Conductivity In A 2-Dimensional Binary Fluid Mixture, Ras B. Pandey

Faculty Publications

A computer-simulation model is introduced to study the transport properties of a binary fluid mixture in which the constituents of one fluid (the tracer particles) carry charges in a linear charge-density gradient in the background charge of the second fluid. In the steady-state equilibrium, an effective conductivity σc(p,r) is estimated as a function of the carrier concentration p and the range of interactions r. The conductivity is observed to vary nonmonotonically with the concentration p, and it exhibits a maximum at a characteristic value pc. The conductivity decreases when the …


Theory Of Light Scattering By A Nonequilibrium Binary Mixture, J.C. Nieuwoudt, B.M. Law Aug 1990

Theory Of Light Scattering By A Nonequilibrium Binary Mixture, J.C. Nieuwoudt, B.M. Law

Faculty Publications

A binary mixture subject to a large temperature gradient is studied. Solutions of the evolution equations for the time-dependent fluctuation correlations are obtained using mode-coupling theory subject to the assumption that the mixture is not close to a critical point. From these results predictions for the light-scattering spectrum at the Rayleigh and Brillouin lines are made. The temperature gradient is shown to cause a large enhancement of the scattering amplitude at the Rayleigh line, whereas the effect at the Brillouin line is found to be small.
