Statistical Analysis Of Grain Growth Based On The Frieser-Eger Film On Development Kinetics, Noreen Vredenburg, Sharon Perry

Theses

Data were obtained from the Frieser-Eger1 film on development kinetics for initiation times and for total development times of individual grains (times of complete development) in a lithographic developer and in a hydroquinone developer with normal sulfite level. Approximate areas were computed for each grain. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the process of development at the two sulfite levels and to determine if there is a functional relationship between total development time and grain size. Different relationships were expected for the two types of developers. This data analysis permits a better understanding of the differences between lithographic …

Investigations In Post-Fixation Physical Development, R. Jerry, J. Nelson

Theses

The procedure outlined by Matejec, Photograpische Korrespondenz, 104, 153 (1968), fixation in a thiosulfate-sulfite solution to which AgBr has been added, followed by washing in 1% sulfite solution, and development in a metol-sulfite-AgNO3 developer, was tested on seven silver iodobromide emulsions, each of a different average grain size. Samples were exposed, and processed by chemical and physical development. Matejec’s results, equality of threshold speed with post-fixation physical and chemical development, could only be realized with a very fine grain emulsion and high intensity exposure. It was found that the efficiency of physical development, relative to chemical development, is inversely related …

The Fate Of Hazardous Polluting Substances In An Aqueous Environment, Robert Paul Casani

Theses

The fate of Hazardous Polluting. Substances (HPS) in an aqueous environment has been investigated using ultraviolet light. Chlorobenzene, o-cresol and nitrobenzene were used as model HPS for this study. The kinetics were followed and good first order plots were obtained for all compounds. The temperature of the reaction was shown to effect the rate. Solid insoluble and soluble non-volatile products were formed in the photolytic reaction of the three model systems.

Stability Of Large Flexible Satellite, Manoj P. Mehta

Theses

The stability of a gravity gradient satellite with a rigid main body and elastic antennas is studied using Liapunov's Direct method. The complete conditions for equilibrium and stability for a particular class of two dimensional models are determined. Previous work restrained the analysis to elastic stability, in the small, and only for equilibrium positions corresponding to zero initial elastic deformation. Although the work presented here is for two dimensional motion, the intent is to bring forth an approach to the determination of the complete equilibrium and stability criteria in the large as well as the small. The effect of different …

Some Effects Of Temporal Coherence Of The Fourier Transform Holographic System, Ronald Antos

Theses

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate experimentally the effects of slight changes in the temporal coherence of a quasi-monochromatic source on the real images of Fourier transform holograms. The method of investigation included: (1) A review of some of the theoretical aspects of Fourier transform holography, (2) some approximations for experimental system limitations due to the coherence length and size of the quasi -monochromatic source, (3) sensitometric experimentation to obtain an adequate photographic reversal process, (4) temporal coherence measurements using a Michel son interferometer, (5) formation and reconstruction of Fourier transform holograms, and (6) analysis of experimental data. …

A Solid State Kinetic Study Of Potassium Permanganate In Alkali Halide Disks, Joseph Paul Cusumano

Theses

The stoichiometry and the kinetics of the reactions of KMnO₄ in KCl and KIO₄ in KCl were studied. The kinetics of the reactions were studied at three different temperatures to obtain the thermodynamic parameters. In addition, these reactions were studied in KBr and RbI matrices. The data was obtained using infrared spectrophotometer measurements.

The reactions all appeared to be first order with respect to the permanganate ion. The stoichiometric studies indicate that the Mn₄^- is converted to Mn⁺⁺ and the Mn⁺⁺ ion apparently catalyzes the reduction of KI₄. The results indicate the …

Analysis Of Decomposition Gases And Leach Water From Controlled Sanitary Landfill, Robert Gargano

Theses

A sanitary landfill was simulated by placing "refuse" between two layers of soil in 6" by 24" cylinders. Canine nutriment was used to simulate the refuse. Once the refuse began to decompose, the decomposition gases were collected in a gas cell and analyzed in an Infrared Spectrophotometer. When gas samples were not taken, the decomposition gases were vented through a water trap (to prevent air from backing up into the system) into the atmosphere. Distilled water was added and withdrawn at two week intervals to leach out the pollutants.

From the Infrared analysis, the decomposition gases were determined to be …

A Method Of Schlieren Alignment Stabilization Using Automatic Feedback Control, W. Lawton King

Theses

An investigation of the application of feedback control to schlieren system alignment stabilization is presented. A feedback control system was designed with the necessary sensors and actuator to maintain the knife edge alignment of a schlieren system. The feedback control system's performance when subjected to controlled disturbances was evaluated. The results indicated that the approach is feasible.

A Study On Occupational Sterotyping Among Graphic Arts Students Enrolled In Selected Public Secondary Schools, Monroe County, New York, Adrian Bernagozzi

Theses

The purpose of this thesis was to determine if the following elements in the curriculum of graphic arts programs in public secondary schools have been effective in enabling students to formulate adequately accurate occupational stereotypes in the field of printing: 1. educational philosophy 2. industrial experience of students such as work experience, personal contacts with people in the trade, and field trips 3. socioeconomic backgrounds of the students 4. vocational maturity of the students 5. occupational plans of the students. In the spring of 1971, students enrolled in advanced graphic arts classes of public secondary schools in Monroe County, New …

Statistical Separation Of Objects In Shadows From Objects In Daylight In An Aerial Scene, David Valvo

Theses

Objects photographed in an aerial scene are ordered into frequency histograms in terms of log exposure on the film. A statistical analysis shows that each distribution actually contains two separate distributions; one of objects in daylight, the other of objects in shadows. The difference is due to a variation in apparent luminance of the objects. For example, as an asphalt road passes in and out of a shadow, its absolute reflectance doesn't change but its apparent luminance does. It is also shown that the ratio of the derived shadow distribution to the daylight distribution is exactly the same as the …

An Investigation Of The Mechanism Of Emulsion Stabilization By 4-Hydroxy-6-Methyl-1,3,3a,7-Tetraazaindene, Eddie Rising

Theses

There is considerable speculation in literature as to the mechanism of photographic emulsion stabilization by 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a,7-tetraazaindene, (Aza). Aza is important as a stabilizer because, unlike the heterocyclic mercaptans, it causes no desensitization when the emulsion is processed in the commonly used MQ developing agents. The mercaptans are strongly adsorbed, whereas Aza is weakly adsorbed on silver halide. Therefore, there has been speculation that the stabilization mechanism of Aza is distinctly different from that of the mercaptans. For this work, Aza was tested as an antifogging agent and development restrainer along with KBr, as a reference, in two developers which function …

A Study Of The Influence Of Iodide Released During Development On The Course Of Development, Barry Britton

Theses

The Influence of iodide released during development on the course of development was Investigated by transferring known amounts of iodide to Kodak Panatomic X Film and Eastman Fine Grain Release Positive Film (Cine Positive) after exposure and before development. Iodide was transferred to the films being tested by soaking dry Bimat web material in potassium iodide solutions and contacting this to the film for fifteen minutes. The transfer of iodide in the Bimat to the film being tested was found to be essentially complete. The iodide reacted with the grains to convert silver bromide to silver iodide. The silver iodide …

Image Spread Characteristics Of Vesicular Films, Ira Long, Alan Turner

Theses

An altered Bausch and Lomb metallograph, in conjunction with a 150 watt high-pressure Xenon-arc lamp, was used to image 50µm uniformly illuminated round spots on several vesicular emulsions and a silver emulsion to determine image spread characteristics with increasing exposure times. Vesicular films tested include Kalvar Types 16, 143, 163, and 164, a sample of Xidex Blue and a high resolution aerial film. It was found in all cases that image spread was more profound in vesicular films than in the silver film tested. It was also found that ten minute and twenty minute periods of time between exposure and …

The Effect Of Ultrasonic Vibration On Mass Transfer In A Packed Column, Joseph Walter Stanecki

Theses

The object of this research was to investigate the possibility of using externally supplied ultrasonic vibration to surface of a packed distillation column operating at total reflux to improve the separation. The apparatus used for this experimentation consisted of a 2 inch ID Pyrex column having three pairs of ultrasonic transducers epoxied equidistance along the external surface of the column. Each pair of transducers was driven separately by a 50 watt amplifier! power supply and a sine/square wave generator.

There were three types of binary mixtures covered during experimentation: minimum boiling azeotropes, maximum boiling azeotropes and full range mixtures. In …
