Non-Professional Scuba Training Fatalities In The United States (1970-1976), Peter Redmayne
Non-Professional Scuba Training Fatalities In The United States (1970-1976), Peter Redmayne
Theses and Major Papers
From 1970 to 1976 ninety seven fatalities occurred during scuba diving training courses taught by nationally recognized scuba certification agencies. Data from these fatalities was gathered and analyzed at the University of Rhode Island's National Underwater Accident Data Center (NUADC) from September 1977 to June 1978. After analysis of each case and compilation of data for the statistical tables, an effort was made to look for specific trends that occurred over the course of the period investigated. In the course of analysis it became evident that a high percentage of training facilities occurred to students who were diving in less …

Geology And Mineralogy Of Cave Nitrates, Carol A. Hill
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
ABSTRACT
Southeastern saltpeter caves have temperatures between 10-15° C and humidities between 90-99%. Saltpeter sediments are alkaline (pH= 6-9), dry and porous (moisture = 5-10 wt. %) and non-organic (low levels of compost, guano and animal remains); sediments have nitrate concentrations ranging between 0.01-4.0 wt. %, low total nitrogen (0.08-0.13 wt. %) and relatively low phosphorous (0.1-1.4 wt. %). Lixiviated cave sediments regenerate in nitrate in several years. Areal extent of cave nitrate is uniform; vertical concentration is in the top few meters of sediment. Nitrate is a minor constituent in sulfate speleothems (up to 1 wt. %). Surface and …

Petrology And Structure Of Precambrian Rocks In The Bosque Peak Quadrangle, North Manzano Mountains, Central New Mexico, Duncan L. Edwards
Petrology And Structure Of Precambrian Rocks In The Bosque Peak Quadrangle, North Manzano Mountains, Central New Mexico, Duncan L. Edwards
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
Precambrian metamorphic rocks in a part of the North Manzano Mountains, New Mexico, underwent regional synkinematic greenschist facies metamorphism. Abundant green hornblende in greenstones and muscovite, chlorite, and biotite in metapelites tentatively suggest p4 kb and TC during metamorphism. The greenstones were probably derived from basic volcanic rocks; the metapelites were probably derived from shales, siltstones, clay-rich sandstones, cherts (7), and mature quartz sandstones.
The oldest exposed rocks are the Moyos metasediments, a sequence of phyllites and schistose grits that is lithologically transitional to a younger greenstone complex of mostly aphanitic greenstone with intercalated phyllites and metasiltstones and intrusive metadiorite. …

Structural Effects On Micellar Catalyzed Reaction Of Hydroxamic Acids, Nop Utrapiromsuk
Masters Theses
Introduction
For many years scientists have tried to find a model which resembles a biological system, so that they can use this model for studying biological systems in human and in living organisms. Micelle systems provide the environment to mimic enzyme systems to some degree.1
Soaps and detergents generate micelles. Soaps and detergents have been used as cleansing agents for a long time. Their cleansing properties are related to micelle formation. Actually, soap is simply a mixture of sodium salts of long chain fatty acids, R-COO- Na+, and some detergents are general sodium salts of straight …
The Effects Of Electron-Donating And Electron-Withdrawing Groups On The Alkylation Sites Of Para-Substituted Phenylacetones, Abraham L. Faburada
The Effects Of Electron-Donating And Electron-Withdrawing Groups On The Alkylation Sites Of Para-Substituted Phenylacetones, Abraham L. Faburada
Masters Theses
The dianions of phenylacetone and its para-substituted derivatives were generated using potassium hydride and n-butyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran. Methyl, ethyl, and n-butyl iodides were used to alkylate the dianions. The results of alkulation indicated that C1 is preferentially attacked by the less active ethyl and n-butyl iodides. The results further show that terminal alkylation is enhanced by electron-donating groups at the para-position of the phenyl ring. The results are rationalized in terms of the difference in electron density at C1 and at C3 in the dianion, on the basis of resonance theory. The regio-selectivity of alkylation as …

Spring Phytoplankton Composition And Distribution In Coastal Waters Between Nova Scotia And The Chesapeake Bay, Larry William Neal
Spring Phytoplankton Composition And Distribution In Coastal Waters Between Nova Scotia And The Chesapeake Bay, Larry William Neal
OES Theses and Dissertations
This investigation was directed toward satisfying a recognized lack of informat on regarding phytoplankton composition and density in shelf waters between Nova Scotia and the Chesapeake Bay. A sedimentation technique was used in determining the phytoplankton composition of 99 samples collected between 2 March and 3 April 1971. Chlorophyll-a samples collected concurrently were analyzed fluorometrically. Simple correlation analyses were utilized in describing distributional patterns of phytoplankton density and chlorophyll-a concentration with respect to water temperature, salinity, density, depth, distance from shore and latitude. Analysis of variance was employed in assessing regional differences in phytoplankton density and chlorophyll-a.

Mercury, Copper, And Zinc In Selected Ichthyofauna Of Lower Chesapeake Bay And Hampton Roads, Virginia, W. Bruce Aitenhead
OES Theses and Dissertations
Anchovys, croaker, spat, summer flounder and hogchokers were collected monthly to seasonally from November 1972 to October 1973 at three locations in the southern Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia.
The concentrations of mercury, copper and zinc were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in whole fishes. Metal concentration varied with species and location. Anchovys had the highest mean concentrations of mercury and zinc while hog- chokers had the highest mean copper concentration. Mercury levels exceeding O.5 ppm were observed in species from all three loca- tions, but maximum heavy metal concentrations per species were highest in Craney Island fishes.

The Distribution Of Several Metals And Cation Exchange Capacity In Sediment Fractions From An Artificial And Natural Marsh, James River, Virginia, William Nivens
OES Theses and Dissertations
In order to examine the mechanisms by which Fe, Mn, Ca, Zn, Cu, Ni and Pb are bound in sediments, a sequential selective extraction procedure was employed on sediment samples collected at an experimental dredge disposal marsh and a neighboring natural marsh located near Windmill Point, James River, Va. The metal concentrations were determined in six phases, interstitial water, exchangeable, easily reducible (oxides of Mn), organic, moderately, reducible (oxides of Fe), and residual fractions. In addition, the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the sediments was determined as well as the actual role of organics and colloidal iron coatings as they …

Dredge Spoil Disposal With Particular Reference To Management Practices In Southern New England, Lynne A. Melville
Dredge Spoil Disposal With Particular Reference To Management Practices In Southern New England, Lynne A. Melville
Theses and Major Papers
One-half million acres of U.S. coastal wetlands have been destroyed by dredging and filling operations since 1956. They are being destroyed at the rate of 0.5-1.0% each year. In one ten year period, Rhode Island lost 5% of its 2000 acres of wetlands to urban development, and Connecticut lost 12% of its marsh lands. Less than 1500 acres of marsh remain in Connecticut. During the course of this research project, I examined one aspect of wetland destruction - the dredging and disposal of spoil materials onto wetlands and into the coastal waters of Southern New England. What follows is a …
Co2 Laser Induced Decomposition Of Freon 113, Richard S. Herrick
Co2 Laser Induced Decomposition Of Freon 113, Richard S. Herrick
Honors Theses
Irradiations were made on CCl2FCClF2, Freon 113, to see if the resulting decomposition was photochemical in nature. The irradiation source was Molectron 250, continuous wave, infrared laser operating in the single line mode. The wavelength of irradiation was varied over the range 9.473 µ to 9.734 µ. The pressure except one (in which the cell window broke). Relative rates of reaction were calculated for a constant power absorbed by the sample of 7.8 ± 4W. These relative rates were plotted against the irradiation wavelength. This was superimposed on a plot of the IR band for Freon 113 which was irradiated …
A Study Of The Acid Etch Pretreatment Used With The Nuva-Seal" Dental Process, Judith Ann Komoroski
A Study Of The Acid Etch Pretreatment Used With The Nuva-Seal" Dental Process, Judith Ann Komoroski
Honors Theses
Nuva-Seal, a bisphenol-A-glycidyl-methacrylate polymer, is applied to the occlusal surface of teeth to prevent tooth decay. Before application of the sealant, the enamel surface is etched for one minute by a 50 percent by weight solution of phosphoric acid containing seven percent by weight of zinc oxide. This treatment renders the tooth surface more porous and surface active to insure a strong bond between tooth and sealant. Past studies at Union College have shown that the etching treatment removes much of the enamel from the tooth. In the current work the amount of tooth removed by acid etching was determined …
The Decomposition Of Azibenzil In The Presence Of Oxygen, Nancy C. Westby
The Decomposition Of Azibenzil In The Presence Of Oxygen, Nancy C. Westby
Honors Theses
The ozonolysis of acetylenes is thought to proceed through the formation of ∝-carbonyl carbonyl oxide intermediates. This reaction has been shown to parallel the effect of molecular oxygen on ketocarbenes. Azibenzil, a diazo-ketone, will decompose to a ketocarbene by the action of heat, light or catalyst. The ketocarbene may decompose by two pathways: Wolff rearrangement and non-rearrangement. The Wolff rearrangement route will produce methyldiphenylacetate (upon addition of methanol), benzophenone, tetraphenylglycolide and possibly other high molecular weight polymeric species. The non-rearrangement pathway will presumably produce ∝-carbonyl carbonyl oxides which will decompose under varying circumstances to produce benzyl, benzoic anhydride, benzophenone, tetraphenylglycolide …
The Addition Of Singlet Oxygen To N, N-Diethyl-1-Propynylamine, Kenneth S. Zimmerman
The Addition Of Singlet Oxygen To N, N-Diethyl-1-Propynylamine, Kenneth S. Zimmerman
Honors Theses
The addition of singlet oxygen to N, N-diethyl-1-pro-pynylamine produced 60-75% yields of N, N-diethyl pyruvamide and various carbon dioxide contamination products under several conditions. Products under several conditions. Product formation was independent of solvent and photosensitizer and was shown to proceed via a singlet oxygen addition mechanism with no free radical involvement. The water addition product was also demonstrated to be N, N-diethyl propanamide. A dioxetene intermediate is suggested as the precursor of N, N-diethyl pyruvamide.
The Preparation And Kinetics Of A Sterically Hindered Gold (Iii) Complex, Michael R. Golden
The Preparation And Kinetics Of A Sterically Hindered Gold (Iii) Complex, Michael R. Golden
Honors Theses
The alkyl substituted gold (III) complex [Au(1, 4, 7-Me3dien)Cl] (PF6)2 [where 1, 4, 7-Me3dien respresents (CH3) HNCH2CH2N(CH3)CH2CH2NH(CH3)] has been synthesized. The cation of this compound differs from previously synthesized gold (III) complexes of similar structure since it can form a conjugate base only by loss of hydrogen from a terminal nitrogen. Aqueous solution chemistry studies of this ion reveals that the Cl- is hydrolyzed before loss of a proton from the ligand which is the reverse of the sequence observed with previously studied ions. Monobromo substitution rates are found to be slower than for the complex with no alkyl substitution …
Reactions Of Diazoketones With Neighboring Carbon-To-Carbon Double Bonds, Robert James Perry
Reactions Of Diazoketones With Neighboring Carbon-To-Carbon Double Bonds, Robert James Perry
Honors Theses
It was hoped that the carbon-carbon double bond in an unsaturated diazoketone would act as a nucleophile in an intramolecular attack to give a ring closure. Experimental results indicate that the double bond did participate, but in such a manner so as to give only substituted products, rather than cyclic ones. We suggest a diazonium salt intermediate in the initial formation of these substituted products. Polymerization and oxonium formation after reactopm with a Lewis acid solvent account for the polymers formed and some of the substituted products.
