Sol-Gel Ph Sensors And Sol-Gel Metal-Removing Sorbents, Dong Liu

Dissertations and Theses

Sol-gel silica is a porous glasslike material that can be prepared at room temperature. In this work, sol-gel method was employed to develop sol-gel sensors for pH measurement and sol-gel silica sorbents for removal of heavy metals.

Sol-gel pH sensors were prepared by entrapping pH indicators in porous solgel silica films. The feasibility of developing optical pH sensors with linear response over a wide pH range by using mixtures of multiple indicators was demonstrated. Theoretical criteria and experimental procedures for selecting indicators and determining optimum ratios of indicators were discussed. A linear response over 4.5 pH units was obtained for …

The Statistical Mechanics Of Membranes, Mark Bowick, Alex Travesset

Physics - All Scholarship

The fluctuations of two-dimensional extended objects membranes is a rich and exciting field with many solid results and a wide range of open issues. We review the distinct universality classes of membranes, determined by the local order, and the associated phase diagrams. After a discussion of several physical examples of membranes we turn to the physics of crystalline (or polymerized) membranes in which the individual monomers are rigidly bound. We discuss the phase diagram with particular attention to the dependence on the degree of self-avoidance and anisotropy. In each case we review and discuss analytic, numerical and experimental predictions of …

Fluctuation Properties Of Precipitation. Part Vi: Observations Of Hyperfine Clustering And Drop Size Distribution Structures In Three-Dimensional Rain, A. R. Jameson, Alexander Kostinski

Department of Physics Publications

In past work it is argued that rain consists of patches of coherent, physical drop size distributions passing in an unpredictable fashion for an unknown duration over a sensor. This leads to the detection both of correlations among drops and of clustering. While the analyses thus far support this characterization, in this final paper in this series, techniques are developed demonstrating that clustering of drops of a specific size in rain is occurring even on scales as small as a few centimeters. Moreover, using video disdrometer data processed to achieve high temporal resolution, it is shown that drops of different …

Letter Spirals, Michael Keith

Word Ways

This recreation was inspired by the famous mathematical discovery of S. Ulam: if the numbers 1,2,3,4... are arranged in a spiral on a square grid, unexpected diagonal patterns appear when one looks at the prime numbers. What happens, I wondered, if we do a similar thing with the alphabet, or other sequences of letters, and look for words instead of numbers?

Simulation Of Dc Resistivity Data: Questioning Critical Scaling For The High-Tc Copper Oxides, Brandon R. Brown

Physics and Astronomy

We simulate dc V-I data using Gaussian distributions of depinning currents for the mixed state of a copper-oxide superconductor and subsequently submit the data to a critical scaling analysis. Though the simple model for simulation assumes no phase transition for the vortex matter, the generated data exhibit a collapse matching those in the experimental literature. The resulting would-be critical parameters depend on the simulated sensitivity level, reinforcing doubts concerning the utility of the scaling analysis for these systems.

Profitable Canola Production In The South Coastal Region 2000, David Eksteen

Bulletins 4000 -

Why grow canola in the South Coast Region? Canola is a member of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes mustard, turnip, wild radish, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli. It is a winter growing oilseed that can be produced in most arable areas of Australia where winter crops are currently grown. Originally known as rapeseed using the species B. campestris, the species of B. napus have almost completely replaced this earlier species in all the areas where the crop is grown.

Dendrites And Light Open Mappings, J. J. Charatonik, W. J. Charatonik, Pawel Krupski

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

It is shown that a metric continuum X is a dendrite if and only if for every compact space Y and for every light open mapping f : Y ->f(Y ) such that X c f(Y ) there is a copy X1 of X in Y for which the restriction fjX1 : X1 ->X is a homeomorphism. Another characterization of dendrites in terms of continuous selections of multivalued functions is also obtained.

Chu Spaces: Towards New Justification For Fuzzy Heuristics, Nhu Nguyen, Hung T. Nguyen, Vladik Kreinovich

We show that Chu spaces, a new formalism used to describe parallelism and information flow, provide uniform explanations for different choices of fuzzy methodology, such as choices of fuzzy logical operations, of membership functions, of defuzzification, etc.

Disorder-Induced Desynchronization In A 2x2 Circular Josephson Junction Array, Adam S. Landsberg

WM Keck Science Faculty Papers

Analytical results are presented which characterize the behavior of a dc-biased, two-dimensional circular array of overdamped Josephson junctions subject to increasing levels of disorder. It is shown that high levels of disorder can abruptly destroy the synchronous functioning of the array. We identify the transition boundary between synchronized and desynchronized behavior, along with the mechanism responsible for the loss of frequency locking. Comparisons with recent results for arrays with rectangular lattice geometries are described.
