Reconciling The Impacts Of Tourism Development Within Communities, Lorin K. Toepper Jan 1991

Reconciling The Impacts Of Tourism Development Within Communities, Lorin K. Toepper

Open Access Dissertations

The growth and further development of the tourism industry at the community level often leads to more impacts than just the often-acknowledged jobs, wages, and tax revenues. Socio-cultural impacts such as crime and congestion are felt within the destination community. Similarly, environmental impacts such as erosion and the destruction of precious coral reefs also felt within the community. All of these impacts resulting from tourism influence the quality of life within tourism communities as well as influencing the quality of experiences gained by tourists to that community.

Tourism plays an important role in the economy of Block Island. It is …

The Strontium Isotope Geochemistry Of The Cenozoic Ocean, Jennifer Hess Jan 1991

The Strontium Isotope Geochemistry Of The Cenozoic Ocean, Jennifer Hess

Open Access Dissertations

A detailed record of the 87Sr/86Sr variations in seawater over the last 100 Ma has been determined by measuring the 87Sr/86Sr of well-preserved and well-dated fossil foraminifera from twelve Deep Sea Drilling Project cores of overlapping ages. Diagenetic alteration of the sample foraminifera was evaluated in three ways: by Sr/Ca ratios, by pore water chemistry, and by visual examination under the scanning electron microscope. Age assessments were made on the basis of magnetobiostratigraphy.

Foraminiferal 87Sr/86Sr measurements show an almost continuous increase in the seawater 87Sr/86Sr from 0.70738 at 100 Ma to 0.70920 today. The …

Phosphorus Dynamics In The Parker River Estuary, Richard Chinman Jan 1991

Phosphorus Dynamics In The Parker River Estuary, Richard Chinman

Open Access Dissertations

In an estuary, characterized by biogeochemical reactions that affect the input, cycling, and removal of river-borne components, an understanding of the factors that regulate biomass and production of the estuarine ecosystem requires insight into the controls on phosphorus dynamics.

Phosphate, the principal dissolved phosphorus species in natural waters, interacts rapidly with an assortment of surfaces, being taken up by and released from inert particles through a complex series of sorption reactions. Phosphate is especially susceptible to adsorption on freshly precipitated or coagulated iron particles. A number of studies have documented the colloidal flocculation of filtrable iron in the low salinity …

Optimization And Its Applications On Pharmaceutical Conventional And Extended Release Solid Dosage Forms, Hann Rong Chueh Jan 1991

Optimization And Its Applications On Pharmaceutical Conventional And Extended Release Solid Dosage Forms, Hann Rong Chueh

Open Access Dissertations

In the pharmaceutical industry, the product and process development problems usually involve a number of independent variables and are normally characterized by multiple objectives. Computer optimization techniques consisting of statistically valid experimental design can be employed to provide an economical way to obtain efficiently these multiple response parameters.

Acetaminophen is a poorly compressible analgesic and very large tablet with high dose level resulting in a corresponding very large table and poor compactability, the amount of added compressible excipient required to produce acceptable compaction behavior therefore is increased. Also, most commercially available high does (500 mg) acetaminophen tablets are manufactured from …


A Social Welfare Analysis Of Congestion And Water Quality Of Great Salt Pond, Black Island, Rhode Island, Kwo-Dong Wey Jan 1990

A Social Welfare Analysis Of Congestion And Water Quality Of Great Salt Pond, Black Island, Rhode Island, Kwo-Dong Wey

Open Access Dissertations

Great Salt Pond on Block Island, Rhode Island is a favorite site for recreational boaters in New England. However, overcrowding causes congestion and water pollution problems during summer. The Department of Environmental Management has closed the Pond to shellfishing every summer since 1986. Residents feels that recreational boaters are to blame and should take responsibility for controlling the problems. Recreational boaters, on the other hand, feel that they have already paid enough in docking and shellfishing license fees. The use of Pond is a source of conflict between these two groups.

This research uses the contingent valuation method to derive …
