Kinetics Of Ferrous Iron Oxygenation And Redox Chemistry Of Iron In Natural Waters, Yu-Jean Liang

Open Access Dissertations

The kinetics and redox chemistry of iron in the marine environment was studied in three investigations: (1) the analytical techniques for the measurement of iron, (2) the kinetics of Fe(II) oxygenation, and (3) the chemistry of iron in an anoxic marine environment.

The bathophenanthroline method proved to be inadequate for the measurement of Fe(II) in the presence of Fe(III) due to Fe(III) reduction in the absence of a reducing reagent. A ferric sulfate complex method was developed to measure Fe(III) in the presence of Fe(II) at 303 run. This method obeys Beer-Lambert law for (Fe(III)) up to 10 μM with …

Tricyclic Antidepressants And Serum Ionized Calcium, Girolamo A. Ortolano

Open Access Dissertations

Serum ionized calcium has Ions been viewed as the physiologically active form of calcium yet the paucity of studies concerned with this response measure is apparent and may be related to the high cost of modern potentiometric instrumentation. Reducing the cost factor was approached by integrating an inexpensive static-type calcium ion-specific electrode into a fabricated plastic electrode chamber. Characterization of the electrode system was performed by elucidating the optimum parameters for electrode use in serum samples. Conformance to the extended Nicolsky-Eisenman equation was used as a criterion for acceptable electrode system Performance. Negligible effects of proteins on the performance of …

An Examination Of Copper Speciation In Seawater, Douglas Lee Huizenga

Open Access Dissertations

The speciation of copper determines its chemical and biological interactions in the marine environment. Several methods have been employed in this work to examine the speciation of copper. The availability of total copper to measurement by anodic stripping voltammetry has been examined in coastal and open ocean waters in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean. In deep waters approximately 75% of the total copper is detected by anodic stripping voltammetry. In near surface and coastal water greater than 90% of the total copper is bound in species that are not detected by ASV. The availability of copper in coastal waters for uptake …

The Relationship Of Social Problem Soliving To High School Preformance, Barry Alan Plummer

Open Access Dissertations

This research project is undertaken to explore the relationship between social problem solving and the academic and social performance of high school youth. Psychologists have stated that social problem solving is an important component of psychosocial competence. Similarly, both theory and research have linked social problem solving to overt behavioral adjustment to school in populations of young children. In this study, the broader notion that academic and social performance in high school will be strongly related to social problem solving was tested.

A total sample of 128 male and female students from grades 9 - 12, from selected classes and …
