Reconnaissance Of Suspected Old Novae, Jeff W. Robertson, R. K. Honeycutt, T. Hillwig, J. S. Jurcevic, A. A. Henden Jan 2000

Reconnaissance Of Suspected Old Novae, Jeff W. Robertson, R. K. Honeycutt, T. Hillwig, J. S. Jurcevic, A. A. Henden

Faculty Publications - Physical & Earth Sciences

Several of the \"blank fields\" in the novae atlas by Duerbeck were imaged at the WIYN 3.5 m telescope during technical engineering and commissioning activities in 1994-1995. Several old novae have been recovered utilizing CCD photometry. Multiobject spectroscopy with the Hydra/MOS instrumentation at WIYN was also used on random stars in the fields to search for a cataclysmic variable. The old novae candidates identified include SV Ari, V465 Cyg, SS LMi, V2104 Oph, GR Ori, V529 Ori, UW Per, and UW Tri.


Aqueous Equilibria: Acids, Bases, And Solubility. A General Chemistry Laboratory Experiment, Michael A. Janusa Jan 2000

Aqueous Equilibria: Acids, Bases, And Solubility. A General Chemistry Laboratory Experiment, Michael A. Janusa

Faculty Publications

We refer to two major types of general chemistry freshman laboratory experiments: discovery and cookbook. The typical Freshman enrolled in general chemistry has the skills to perform an experiment that is somewhere between cookbook and discovery, and we have developed a laboratory experiment that is midway between these extremes. This experiment aids the student's understanding of the concept of aqueous equilibria. In this experiment, students are asked to prepare and measure the pH of a variety of acidic and basic solutions. Students are also asked to calculate pH values from literature dissociation constants and dissociation constants from their experimental pH …


Solidification / Stabilization Of Lead With The Aid Of Bagasse As An Additive To Portland Cement, Michael A. Janusa Jan 2000

Solidification / Stabilization Of Lead With The Aid Of Bagasse As An Additive To Portland Cement, Michael A. Janusa

Faculty Publications

Solidification/stabilization (S/S) of hazardous waste is a widely used technology; therefore, it is crucial to evaluate its effectiveness and make attempts to improve the technique. A better matrix for S/S of hazardous waste was designed that is effective and economically feasible. This was accomplished by adding bagasse (byproduct of milling or diffusing sugar cane) to the waste/cement matrix. Lead nitrate was used as the model heavy metal waste with a 10or 15% lead by weight to cement loading. Samples were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days at 24°C. Samples containing bagasse typically resulted in TCLP (modified) extract lead concentrations …


Palladium-Catalyzed Carboxylative Coupling Of Allylstannanes And Allyl Halides, Russell J. Franks Jan 2000

Palladium-Catalyzed Carboxylative Coupling Of Allylstannanes And Allyl Halides, Russell J. Franks

Faculty Publications

A three-component carboxylative coupling between allyl halides, allylstannanes, and CO2 to produce allyl esters is catalyzed by Pd and Pt phosphine complexes. Allyl chloride and allyltributylstannane are thus converted to propenyl butenoate in excellent yield. Cross coupling of two different allyl components produces a nearly statistical mixture of all four possible esters. Tentative mechanistic pathways for the catalytic reaction are proposed.


Reconciliation Of The Substorm Onset Determined On The Ground And At The Polar Spacecraft, P K. Toivanen, D N. Baker, W K. Peterson, H J. Singer, Niescja E. Turner, X Li, K Kauristie, M Syrjasuo, A Keiling, C A. Kletzing Jan 2000

Reconciliation Of The Substorm Onset Determined On The Ground And At The Polar Spacecraft, P K. Toivanen, D N. Baker, W K. Peterson, H J. Singer, Niescja E. Turner, X Li, K Kauristie, M Syrjasuo, A Keiling, C A. Kletzing

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research

An isolated substorm on Oct. 17, 1997 during a close conjunction of the Polar spacecraft and the ground-based MIRACLE network is studied in detail. We identify signatures of substorm onset in the plasma sheet midway between the ionosphere and the equatorial plasma sheet, determine their timing relative to the ground signatures, and discuss their counterparts on the ground and in the equatorial plasma sheet. The substorm onset is determined as the negative bay onset at 2040:42(≠ 5 sec) UT coinciding with the onset of auroral precipitation, energization of plasma sheet electrons at Polar, and strong magnetic field variations perpendicular to …


Entry Of Plasma Sheet Particles Into The Inner Magnetosphere Observed By Polar/Cammice, N Yu Ganushkina, T I. Pulkkinen, V A. Sergeev, M V. Kubyshkina, D N. Baker, Niescja E. Turner, M Grande, B Kellett, J F. Fennell, J L. Roeder, J A. Sauvaud, T A. Fritz Jan 2000

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research

Statistical results are presented from Polar/CAMMICE measurements of events during which the plasma sheet ions have penetrated deeply into the inner magnetosphere. Owing to their characteristic structure in energy-time spectrograms, these events are called "intense nose events." Almost 400 observations of such structures were made during 1997. Intense nose events are shown to be more frequent in the dusk than in the dawn sector. They typically penetrate well inside L = 4, the deepest penetration having occurred around midnight and noon. The intense nose events are associated with magnetic (substorm) activity. However, even moderate activity (AE = 150-250 nT) resulted …


Management Of Pest Birds In Urban Environments, Ron J. Johnson Jan 2000

Management Of Pest Birds In Urban Environments, Ron J. Johnson

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

A number of bird species may cause nuisance or damage problems in urban areas. These include European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), house sparrows (Passer domesticus), feral pigeons or rock doves (Columba livia), and others. Recently, increasing numbers of resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) have resulted in conflicts in urban areas, particularly around golf courses, parks, and developments that have lakes or ponds surrounded by grass. Bird damage management programs are increasingly expected to provide effective solutions in a humane and socially acceptable way. Management approaches and products are affected by clientele preferences and public opinion nationwide, which, along with small markets, …


The Space Of Jumping Emerging Patterns And Its Incremental Maintenance, Jinyan Li, Kotagiri Ramamohanarao, Guozhu Dong Jan 2000

The Space Of Jumping Emerging Patterns And Its Incremental Maintenance, Jinyan Li, Kotagiri Ramamohanarao, Guozhu Dong

Kno.e.sis Publications

The concept of jumping emerging patterns (JEPs) has been proposed to describe those discriminating features which only occur in the positive training instances but do not occur in the negative class at all; JEPs have been used to construct classifiers which generally provide better accuracy than the state-of-the-art classifiers such as C4.5. The algorithms for maintaining the space of jumping emerging patterns (JEP space) are presented in this paper. We prove that JEP spaces satisfy the property of convexity. Therefore JEP spaces can be concisely represented by two bounds: consisting respectively of the most general elements and the most specific …

Evaluation Of Animal Model Research, Kenneth J. Shapiro Jan 2000

Evaluation Of Animal Model Research, Kenneth J. Shapiro

Experimentation Collection

It is argued that a concept of evaluation of animal models that is broader and more useful than validation is available. Productive generativity refers to the degree to which a model furthers understanding and leads to more-effective treatment interventions. Results of the application of this novel evaluative frame to several animal models of eating disorders show that this animal-based research has not been productive. The question of the relation between clinic and animal laboratory is discussed.


The Relationship Of Animal Protection Interests To Animal Damage Management: Historic Paths, Contemporary Concerns And The Uncertain Future, John Hadidian Jan 2000

The Relationship Of Animal Protection Interests To Animal Damage Management: Historic Paths, Contemporary Concerns And The Uncertain Future, John Hadidian

Conservation Biology and Animal Welfare Collection

More than a decade ago Schmidt (1989) called for consideration of animal welfare to become a "firstorder" decision rule in wildlife management concerns, including animal damage control. Although there has been movement in that direction, this clearly has not yet come to pass. This paper takes a brief look at the interests we call animal damage management, animal welfare and protection, animal rights, and environmentalism in order to speculate about their shared concerns and the uncertain future before them. Since animal damage and the management of that damage cannot be abstracted from the environmental context in which they occur, this …

Type Locality For The Great Blue Limestone In The Bingham Nappe, Oquirrh Mountains, Utah, United States Geological Survey Jan 2000

Type Locality For The Great Blue Limestone In The Bingham Nappe, Oquirrh Mountains, Utah, United States Geological Survey

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The Great Blue Limestone was named originally by Spurr (1895) from exposures near the Mercur mining district in the Oquirrh Mountains, Utah. The formation was described in greater detail by Gilluly (1932) in the Ophir mining district. Neither formally established a type locality for this formation in the Oquirrh Mountains. However, the formation has since been correlated broadly with similar sedimentary rocks elsewhere in the adjoining Rocky Mountains and Great Basin regions. For the record, and to assist future correlations, a type measured section of the Great Blue Limestone in the Oquirrh Mountains is located, described, and a detailed measured …
