Effects Of A Dispersed And Undispersed Crude Oil On Mangroves, Seagrasses And Corals, T. G. Ballou, Richard E. Dodge, S. C. Hess, A. H. Knap, Thomas D. Sleeter

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the application of dispersant to spilled oil as a means of reducing adverse environmental effects of oil spills in nearshore, tropical waters. The results of numerous laboratory and field studies have suggested that dispersants may play a useful role in reducing adverse impacts on sensitive and valued environments such as mangroves, seagrasses, and corals. However, the use of dispersants has not been allowed thus far in most situations because of a lack of direct experimental data on the various effects of dispersants and the environmental trade-offs presumed to occur as a …

Analysis Of Nitrated Polycyclic Hydrocarbons, Pah-Quinones And Related Compounds In Ambient Air, Yalan Wang

Theses

Studies were conducted to characterized airborne particulate extractable organic matter (EOM) with respect to chemical composition and biological activity. It has been well established that the nitrated polycyclic hydrocarbons (nitroPAH) are environmental contaminants. To identify nitro-PAH in ambient air sample, a technique was developed involving introduction of a reducer column into an reversephase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. Strong fluorescence signals were achieved from nitro-PAH and detected together with u.v. signals for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of nitro-PAH. 2-Nitrotriptycene was synthesized according to published procedures and used as an internal standard. By use of the above technique, 9nitroanthracene, …

Petrology Of Pliocene (?) Basalts Of Curlew Valley (Box Elder Co.), Utah, Steven Brent Kerr

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Basalt outcrops in Curlew Valley consist of several flow remnants and eruptive centers situated along the valley margins. Basalt is also found in association with salic rocks that erupted in the central portion of the valley. The basalts are of probable Pliocene age and were erupted during a period of active extensional tectonics. Since their emplacement, the basalts have been extensively eroded and downfaulted. The present morphology reflects the erosional and depositional processes of prehistoric Lake Bonneville.

Twelve samples were analyzed chemically for major oxides, trace elements, and rare-earth elements. The basalts form a hypersthene normative series ranging from olivine …

Historical Science: Stephen Jay Gould At The Nsta, Paul E. Rider Sr.

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Stephen Jay Gould, the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology at Harvard University, recently spoke at a meeting of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) in Washington, D.C. An eloquent spokesperson for the earth sciences, Gould holds a degree in paleontology from Columbia University. The American Geological Institute has made a video tape of his talk available for purchase. This article, a review of the tape, is for the benefit of science teachers who may wish to buy a copy.

The Fricke Dosimeter As A 1-Hit Detector, Robert Katz, G. L. Sinclair, M. P. R. Waligorski

Robert Katz Publications

A fit to the experimental data for the response of the Fricke dosimeter to energetic heavy ions is obtained using a calculation of the relative effectiveness of a 1-hit detector, from track theory. We use 2 fitted parameters, the target size, a₀, which may be thought to represent a “diffusion length,” and E₀, the dose of gamma-rays at which there is an average of one hit per target (the D-37 dose), and a new algorithm for the average radial distribution of dose in liquid water from the passing ion. The G value for ions is then …

Primary Health Care In Omaha, Nebraska: A Case Study Of Nine Primary Health Care Centers, Stella G. Limson

The provision of health care has always been a declared policy of many governments, and every nation in the modern world has a health care system through which its people can get health services. The characteristics of these systems vary greatly with the nation's economic level and political structure.

Survey Shows Chemistry Textbooks And Teaching Practices In Iowa To Be Conventional, Robert W. Hanson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Part of a survey of the 485 high school chemistry teachers in Iowa in the spring of 1984 dealt with the textbooks used in chemistry courses offered in their schools and with changes in emphasis in teaching chemistry during the past three years. The target group of teachers included 455 from public schools and 30 from parochial schools. Seventy-eight percent of the public school and fifty percent of the parochial school teachers responded. Schools and school districts of all sizes were represented among the respondents.

Redox, Ph, And Ion Chemistry Of Acid Sulfate Rice Soils In Thailand., Sunchai Satawathananont

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Five Thailand soils belonging to the Rangsit Very Acid (Rsa), Rangsit (Rs), Mahaphot (Ma), Bang Pakong (Bg), and Bangkok (Bk) series were employed in redox-pH-ion chemistry studies. Decreases in soil redox potential upon submergence were relatively slower and less intense in the acid sulfate soils than in the non-acid marine soil. Among the acid sulfate soils, the Rsa soil was most sluggish with respect to decreases in redox potential. Addition of organic matter or liming in combination with submergence accelerated decreases in redox potential in the flooded Rsa soil as well as in the other acid sulfate soils to the …

High School Chemistry In Iowa: Current Status, Recent Trends, And Future Prospects, R. W. Hanson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A survey of Iowa's 485 high school chemistry teachers and information from the Department of Public Instruction provide the basis for a description of the "typical" Iowa chemistry teacher in terms of age, experience, academic background, salaries, and teaching practices. Trends in student attitudes and modification of teaching practice during the 1981-84 period when the "crisis" in science education in the United States was being emphasized in the media were assessed from responses from 365 teachers. Results indicate that Iowa's chemistry teachers are conservative in making innovations in teaching practice, and the goal of increasing student exposure to chemistry is …

Cathodic Depositions Of The Compound Semiconductor Cadmium Sulfide, Jeffrey B. Richard

Dissertations and Theses

Thin layer deposits of cadmium sulfide (CdS) for photovoltaic purposes can be made by cathodic deposition from a nonaqueous solution. There were numerous parameters that were controlled in this electro-deposition. Several of these parameters, including temperature, current density, reactant concentrations and impurity level doping, were studied and optimized. The mechanism of this deposition process is not fully understood, mainly due to the complex chemistry of sulfur. Part of this complexity is the presence of S(,6) and S(,7) along with the major component of S(,8) in sulfur solutions. At 90(DEGREES), these minor species constitute 2% of the total sulfur. Electrochemical studies …

Artificial Intelligence: Myths And Realities, Hugo D'Alarcao

Bridgewater Review

Artificial intelligence the name conjures images of mechanical monsters, the Golem, Dr. Frankenstein’s creation and the rebellious computer Hal. We have always been fascinated by the possibility of creating a machine in our image, but this fascination is often accompanied by apprehension. We fear losing control of our creation and suspect that it might turn against us. It is this duality, this conflict between the desire to create and the fear of the consequences of the creation that has been so successfully exploited by writers. It is also, in part, this fascination that has recently brought the field of Artificial …
