East Greenland Margin, H. C. Larsen, A. D. Saunders, P. Clift Jan 1993

East Greenland Margin, H. C. Larsen, A. D. Saunders, P. Clift

Faculty Publications

Leg 152 represents the second in an eight-leg program, proposed by the NARM-DPG, to investigate rifted margins. Four legs will be devoted to each margin type, volcanic and nonvolcanic. Leg 152, selected as first priority by the North Atlantic Rifted Margin Detailed Planning Group (NARM-DPG), will be the first leg to address processes at volcanic rifted margins by drilling a transect of proposed sites at 63°N, southeast Greenland. The southeast Greenland transect is located approximately 550 km south of the original center of the Iceland hotspot in a region of apparent structural simplicity, with a well-understood, simple plate kinematic history. …

Projection Solutions Of Frobenius-Perron Operator Equations, Jiu Ding, Tien Tien Li Jan 1993

Projection Solutions Of Frobenius-Perron Operator Equations, Jiu Ding, Tien Tien Li

Faculty Publications

We construct in this paper the first order and second order piecewise polynomial finite approximation schemes for the computation of invariant measures of a class of nonsingular measurable transformations on the unit interval of the real axis. These schemes are based on the Galerkin’s projection method for L1-spaces and are proved to be convergent for the class of Frobenius-Perron operators.

Dna Replication In Chloroplasts, Sabine Heinhorst, Gordon C. Cannon Jan 1993

Dna Replication In Chloroplasts, Sabine Heinhorst, Gordon C. Cannon

Faculty Publications

Chloroplasts contain multiple copies of a DNA molecule (the plastome) that encodes many of the gene products required to perform photosynthesis. The plastome is replicated by nuclear-encoded proteins and its copy number seems to be highly regulated by the cell in a tissue-specific and developmental manner. Our understanding of the biochemical mechanism by which the plastome is replicated and the molecular basis for its regulation is limited. In this commentary we review our present understanding of chloroplast DNA replication and examine current efforts to elucidate its mechanism at a molecular level.

Defensible Fees, State Action, And The Legacy Of Massive Resistance, Jonathan L. Entin Jan 1993

Defensible Fees, State Action, And The Legacy Of Massive Resistance, Jonathan L. Entin

Faculty Publications

The Supreme Court of Virginia recently upheld the validity of a whites-only provision in an educational trust. The decision in Hermitage Methodist Homes of Virginia, Inc. v. Dominion Trust Co., would be noteworthy for that reason alone. It is important for three other reasons, however. First, this was not an ordinary property dispute; it arose directly from Brown v. Board of Education. The restriction at issue applied to a segregation academy in Prince Edward County, the most recalcitrant of the defendants in Brown. The academy was established to provide private education for whites when the county closed its public schools …

Discovering The Unique Synergy Potential Of Undergraduate Research And Tourism Service Needs, Deirdre Gibbons, Brian J. Hill Jan 1993

Discovering The Unique Synergy Potential Of Undergraduate Research And Tourism Service Needs, Deirdre Gibbons, Brian J. Hill

Faculty Publications

This paper explores the needs and benefits for using undergraduates as a resource at tourism University Centers. The purpose of undergraduate tourism programs varies, but programs strive to combine theory with application, and research plays a role in this process. Undergraduates stand to benefit from the managerial and decision-making skills they can learn through research. The number of university tourism research centers has increased worldwide. These centers often function on small budgets and have limited research centers, yet their services and clientele · base are increasing. This paper explores how some universities have involved undergraduates in university tourism research, focusing …

Sign Correlations And The Mechanism For Parity Violation, Vladimir Gudkov Jan 1993

Sign Correlations And The Mechanism For Parity Violation, Vladimir Gudkov

Faculty Publications

The problem of possible sign correlations of P-odd effects due to parity mixing on the compound nuclear stage is discussed. For an unambiguous test of the conventional model of parity violation on the compound nuclear stage, it is not enough only to measure the sign correlation of P-odd effects on some resonances, but it is necessary also to know the neutron decay amplitudes for each resonance.

Surface Treatment For Mitigation Of Hydrogen Absorption And Penetration Into Aisi 4340 Steel, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White Jan 1993

Surface Treatment For Mitigation Of Hydrogen Absorption And Penetration Into Aisi 4340 Steel, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

The effectiveness of underpotential deposition of Pb onto a membrane made of AISI 4340 steel on the reduction of the hydrogen evolution reaction on the membrane and the degree of hydrogen ingress into the membrane was determined. In the presence of a monolayer coverage of Pb on the membrane surface, the hydrogen evolution currents were reduced by a factor of two compared with the values obtained on bare steel, and the steady-state hydrogen permeation flux through the steel membranes was reduced by 71%.

Impedance Spectroscopy As A Nondestructive Health Interrogation Tool For Lithium-Bcx Cells, Branko N. Popov, W. Zhang, E. C. Darcy, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

The objective of this investigation was to study the growth of thick passivating layers on the Li anode in Li/BCX(Li/SOCl2 + BrCl) cells which were stored for a period of 3 years. Impedance spectroscopy and equivalent circuit models were used to determine characterizing parameters for these cells. The equivalent circuit used for virgin cells includes a faradic contribution and diffusion of the electroactive species. The equivalent circuit for batteries stored 1 or 2 years includes the impedance of a metal/passive film interface, the resistance of the film, and the impedance of the passivating film/electrolyte interface. The equivalent circuit used …

Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy As A Tool For Organic Coating Solute Saturation Monitoring, Branko N. Popov, Mohammed A. Alwohaibi, Ralph E. White Jan 1993

Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy As A Tool For Organic Coating Solute Saturation Monitoring, Branko N. Popov, Mohammed A. Alwohaibi, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been used to study the solute uptake for epoxy/phenolic (E/p) andepoxy/amine (E/a) thick-coated mild steel samples immersed for 160 days in 3.5 weight percent NaCl solution exposed to air. Samples with thicknesses of approximately 200 µm with an exposed surface area of 22.6 cm2 were used to follow solute saturation of the organic coating. Good agreement was obtained between the calculated and measured coating capacitance when, according to the diffusion equation, the coating capacitance was plotted against exposure time.

Galvanostatic Pulse And Pulse Reverse Plating Of Nickel-Iron Alloys From Electrolytes Containing Organic Compounds On A Rotating Disk Electrode, Branko N. Popov, Ken-Ming Yin, Ralph E. White Jan 1993

Galvanostatic Pulse And Pulse Reverse Plating Of Nickel-Iron Alloys From Electrolytes Containing Organic Compounds On A Rotating Disk Electrode, Branko N. Popov, Ken-Ming Yin, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Linear sweep voltammetry, galvanostatic pulse, and pulse reverse techniques were used to study the plating of nickel-iron alloys in the presence of organic additives. The effects of pulse current densities, ip, reverse current densities, ir, rotation speed of disk electrode, and the presence of organic additives on deposition of nickel-iron alloys are evaluated. The observed phenomena can be explained by the concentration depletion of reactants (or products), and the surface coverage of the additives on the electrode. A new formulation of the plating bath is defined.

Impedance Analysis For Oxygen Reduction In A Lithium Carbonate Melt: Effects Of Partial Pressure Of Carbon Dioxide And Temperature, Bhasker B. Dave, Ralph E. White, Supramaniam Srinivasan, A. John Appleby Jan 1993

Impedance Analysis For Oxygen Reduction In A Lithium Carbonate Melt: Effects Of Partial Pressure Of Carbon Dioxide And Temperature, Bhasker B. Dave, Ralph E. White, Supramaniam Srinivasan, A. John Appleby

Faculty Publications

Effects of partial pressure of carbon dioxide and temperature on oxygen reduction kinetics on a gold electrode in a lithium carbonate melt were examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) and linear sweep voltammetric techniques. The impedance spectra were analyzed by a complex nonlinear least squares method, using the Randles-Ershler equivalent circuit model, to determine the electrode-kinetic and the mass-transfer parameters such as the charge-transfer resistance and the Warburg coefficient. The cyclic voltammetric measurements indicated that the oxygen reduction process in lithium carbonate melt is "reversible" up to 200 mV/s. The product DC0 determined by cyclic voltammetry agreed well …

Thermal Analysis Of Spirally Wound Li/Bcx And Li/Socl2 Cells, E. E. Kalu, Ralph E. White Jan 1993

Thermal Analysis Of Spirally Wound Li/Bcx And Li/Socl2 Cells, E. E. Kalu, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A thermal analysis of Li/BCX and high rate Li/SOCl2 cells is presented. The thermal model developed was used to study the effect of ambient temperature of discharge (0–40°C) on Li/BCX cells discharged at the same rate. The model predictions show that ambient temperature of discharge was critical in thermal management of the cell. For forced convection cooled cells, the model predicted that ambient temperature near room temperature (25°C) was required to achieve the lowest maximum temperature rise in the cell. Inclusion of the effects of reaction products to the model predictions showed that a constant composition assumption may be …

What Military Criminal Law Can Teach Us: A United States Perspective, Donald N. Zillman Jan 1993

What Military Criminal Law Can Teach Us: A United States Perspective, Donald N. Zillman

Faculty Publications

A quarter century ago, any comparative criminal law in the United States tended to treat the federal criminal justice system as the model for other systems (state, military, Indian tribal). The fifty state systems handled the vast majority of criminal cases. They were reforming both their adherence to federal constitutional protections for the accused and their administrative organization. Criminal justice had become a large volume business and old "horse and buggy'' practices could not keep up with the workload.

Child Care Enterprise, Community Development, And Work, Peter R. Pitegoff Jan 1993

Child Care Enterprise, Community Development, And Work, Peter R. Pitegoff

Faculty Publications

Child care enterprise can be a vehicle for community-based economic development. Beyond the critical goal of child care service, day care as an enterprise can help build capacity for job creation and entrepreneurship in the inner city and in disadvantaged communities. Stable child care institutions with quality jobs can sound a counterpoint to the feminization of poverty. The demand for child care services is substantial and growing. In single parent families and in households with two working parents, day care is essential to enable parents to work or go to school. Further, high quality early childhood programs can have a …
