Separation And Artificial Maturation Of Macerals From Type Ii Kerogen, Michael A. Kruge, Patrick Landais, David F. Bensley, B Artur Stankiewicz, Marcel Elie, Olivier Ruau

Department of Earth and Environmental Studies Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Immature Type II kerogen (HI= 660 mg/g) from the Lower Toarcian of the Paris Basin was separated into an alginite concentrate (HI = 952 mg/g) and an amorphous organic matter (AOM) concentrate (HI = 573 mg/g) by density centrifugation. The flash pyrolyzate of the alginite is characterized by high relative concentrations of several series of n-alkanones and n-alkenones (including mid-chain alkyl ketones), in addition to n-alkanes, n-alk-1-enes and n-alkadienes. To our knowledge, this Toarcian alginite is the oldest example of marine organic matter whose pyrolyzate contains mid-chain alkanones in such high relative concentrations. In sharp …

Evaluation Of Medical Care Provided To Alaska Natives, Volumes 1, 2, And 3., Unknown

Native Health Database Full Text

The purpose of this report is to develop life tables for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population residing in the geographic area in which the Indian Health Service (IHS) has responsibilities and to make comparisons of Indian life expectancy to the total, White, and Black U.S. populations. Life tables provide a more refined means of measuring mortality levels in a population than crude, age-specific, or age-adjusted mortality rates. They allow comparison of mortality rates between population without requiring adjustment to an actual standard population in order to account for differences in age distributions between those populations. The tables included …

Executive Summary: Western Nevada Health Systems Delivery Study., Unknown

Native Health Database Full Text

In 1992, in an effort to redress the inconsistency that has been characteristic of federal policy applied to California, Congress established a statewide Indian council. The needs of California Indians in regards to health care are one part of the council's mandate. This is part in a series of reports by the council. This report details the education status of Indians in California.

A Deep-To-Shallow Transition In The Fort Payne Formation (Lower Mississippian), Kentucky Highway 61, Cumberland County, Kentucky, David L. Meyer, Paul E. Potter, Jennifer L. Thies, William I. Ausich, Stephen A. Leslie

Map and Chart--KGS

The Fort Payne Formation of the Cumberland Saddle region of south-central Kentucky and north-central Tennessee is part of a vast marine sedimentation system that extended over much of North America during the Early Mississippian Period; broadly similar facies reached from Georgia through Tennessee and Kentucky, into western Illinois and Missouri, and into New Mexico and the northern Rockies (Pryor and Sable, 1974). Throughout North America the Fort Payne and its equivalents overlie a black shale (in Kentucky called the Chattanooga Shale) and underlie thick carbonates (in Kentucky, the Warsaw Formation and younger middle Mississippian limestones).

Pelletized Lime - How Quickly Does It React, Lloyd W. Murdock

Soil Science News and Views

Pelletized lime is made by granulating finely ground agricultural (ag) lime. It may be dolomitic or calcitic depending on the nature of the original limestone. The fine lime particles are bonded together with lignosulfonates during the pelletizing process. In general, the pelletized lime contains about 9% lignosulfonates. Pelletized limestone is a product that has been on the market for many years. The price of the material on a per ton basis is considerably higher than bulk ag lime, so its use has mainly been confined to specialty markets, with little use in production agriculture. However, the product is becoming more …

Tillage Slows Fecal Bacteria Infiltration Through Soil, Mark S. Coyne, S. W. Mcmurry, E. Perfect

Soil Science News and Views

Bacterial pathogens can degrade ground water quality by infiltrating and eroding from land treated with poultry wastes. The potential for ground water contamination (as well as associated health risks and cost of water treatment) greatly depends on the depth of soil to the water table or bedrock and soil structure. Pathogens must move through the soil profile to contaminate ground water (although sinkholes can provide a direct channel from the soil surface to the water table in karst areas). Deep soils have less potential for contamination than shallow soils. Structureless soils retain fecal bacteria better than well structured soils. Research …

Soil Management For Intensive Grazing, Kenneth L. Wells, Charles T. Dougherty

Soil Science News and Views

Recycling of plant nutrients is of major concern in managing paddocks in pasturefields for intensive grazing. Redistribution of nutrients present in fecal and urine deposits is an important issue in growing climatically and seasonally-adapted forage species and for efficient conversion of herbage into animal products while adding to the sustainability of the system. Some of the questions that arise in managing soils for intensive grazing are discussed below.

Kentucky Watershed Priority Formula: Application Guidelines And Data Requirements, L. Ormsbee, Lee Colten

KWRRI Research Reports

This report presents a methodology for ranking and selecting individual 11-digit HUCs for subsequent development of detailed watershed management plans as part of the Kentucky Watershed Management Framework. The proposed methodology consists of two phases: 1) Prioritization and 2) Targeting. The prioritization phase is used to rank 11-digit HUCs on the basis of existing special protection areas and the existence or potential existence of designated use impairment. The prioritization is accomplished using a priority watershed formula developed especially for this purpose. The formula is intended to serve as an objective tool for compiling environmental indicators to rank watershedsand for use …

Hydrogeology And Ground-Water Monitoring Of Coal-Ash Disposal Sites In A Karst Terrane Near Burnside, South-Central Kentucky, Shelley Minns Hutcheson, Lyle V. A. Sendlein, James S. Dinger, James C. Currens, Arsin M. Sahba

Report of Investigations--KGS

The effects of two coal-ash disposal facilities on ground-water quality at the John Sherman Cooper Power Plant, located in a karst region of south-central Kentucky, were evaluated using dye traces in springs. Springs were used for monitoring rather than wells, because in a karst terrane wells are unlikely to intercept individual conduits.

A closed-out ash pond located over a conduit-flow system discharges to three springs in the upper Salem and Warsaw Formations along Lake Cumberland. Water discharging from these downgradient springs is similar to springs unaffected by ash-disposal facilities and is a calcium-bicarbonate type. No constituent concentrations found in this …

Fresh-Water Aquifer In The Knox Group (Cambrian–Ordovician) Of Central Kentucky, James A. Kipp

Report of Investigations--KGS

Fresh water can be found in Cambrian and Ordovician carbonate rocks of the Knox Group in central Kentucky. The top of the aquifer is as much as 300 ft above mean sea level (m.s.l.) on the crest of the Cincinnati Arch, but descends off the flanks of the arch. Water is normally found in the upper 100 to 250 ft of the Knox, primarily in secondary porosity apparently associated with the unconformity at the top of the unit. Knox wells commonly exceed 750 ft in total depth, but because the aquifer is artesian, water rises to an elevation of about …

Driver Population Factors In Freeway Capacity, J. John Lu, Weimin Huang, Edward A. Mierzejewski

CUTR Research Reports

The methods contained in the Highway Capacity Manual are based on a traffic composition of local drivers familiar with roadway characteristics. The Manual allows for the incorporation of a driver population factor adjustment into freeway capacity calculations to reflect the influence of unfamiliar drivers. Unfortunately, the Manual offers very little guidance on the appropriate values of the factor.

This project used continuous count traffic data at a number of Florida freeway locations to estimate the appropriate values of the driver population factor. By relating speed-volume characteristics to measures of non-local driver populations, the importance of this factor was demonstrated. Estimates …

Animal Rights Theory And Utilitarianism: Relative Normative Guidance, Gary L. Francione

Animal Law Review

Mr. Francione examines the philosophies of Peter Singer and Tom Regan and concludes, in part, that there is nothing in rights theory that necessarily precludes the animal advocate from pursuing incremental legislative or judicial change; however, he asserts that we cannot speak meaningfully of legal rights for animals as long as animals are regarded as property.

Elementary Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge Of Mathematics, Roberta A. Fuller

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The purpose of this study was to characterize and compare novice and experienced elementary teachers’ pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of three major topics in mathematics: whole number operations, fractions, and geometry. Twenty-six preservice elementary teachers and 28 experienced kindergarten through sixth grade teachers participated in this study. Data were collected via the Survey on Teaching Mathematics (Rich, Lubinski & Otto, 1994), a researcher-designed instrument that assists in describing pedagogical content knowledge. The results indicate that experienced teachers possess a greater conceptual understanding of whole number operations than do novice teachers, but that both novice and experienced teachers possess …

Women's Rights In The 1789 French Revolution: Conflict Within Liberalism, Alex Paul

Lawrence University Honors Projects

On 20 September 1792, the newly formed French Legislative Assembly, spurred
by rapidly developing women's political clubs, passed two laws that enhanced women's rights. The first made twenty-one the age of majority for entering into marriage; once a woman reached that age, her father had no power over who she decided to marry. Paternal power over marriage, which had been limitless in the Old Regime, was significantly curtailed. The second law enabled women to divorce their husbands for a variety of reasons, including, mutual consent, incompatibility, "mental illness, condemnation to an infamous punishment, cruelty or serious injury, notorious disorder of …

Evaluation Of Accessibility Of Urban Transportation Networks, Nanda N Srinivasan

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis examines accessibility of urban networks to serve the transportation needs of a community. The term accessibility is dealt with qualitatively and quantitatively, giving it a form and structure readily adaptable for implementation by metropolitan planning organizations. Accessibility has been defined from the point of view of the network. This definition helps in interfacing the network with the traditional travel demand models. A methodology was enunciated to develop accessibility indices for urban areas and implemented by means of automated software. The trip generation stage in the traditional urban transportation planning process (UTPP) is used along with a geographic information …
