Resource Use By Amphipoda (Crustacea: Peracarida) On The Outer Continental Shelf Of The Middle Atlantic Bight: Implications To Community Structure, Linda C. Schaffner Jan 1980

Resource Use By Amphipoda (Crustacea: Peracarida) On The Outer Continental Shelf Of The Middle Atlantic Bight: Implications To Community Structure, Linda C. Schaffner

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Benthic communities on the outer continental shelf of the Middle Atlantic Bight are characterized by abundant populations of amphipods in the families Ampeliscidae and Corophiidae. Members of these families occupy tubes at or near the sediment surface and, thus, potentially compete with each other for spatial and trophic resources. This study examines the spatial, temporal and trophic resource use of six numerically dominant species in these families as a means of assessing the relative importance of competition as a structuring force in outer shelf benthic communities.

Improved Characterization Of Silicon-Silicon-Dioxide Interfaces, Pin Su Jan 1980

Improved Characterization Of Silicon-Silicon-Dioxide Interfaces, Pin Su

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Silicon is the heart of modern semiconductor devices. The dominance of Si in semiconductor technology depends on the superior quality and properties of thermally grown SiO(,2) compared with the oxide that can be placed on any other semiconductor. For this reason, Si-SiO(,2) interface has been an interesting and important research subject for many years.;The well established quasistatic and conductance methods used in the study of the Si-SiO(,2) interface are improved by using (i) an effectively thin composite insulator, (ii) low carrier concentration substrates, and most importantly (iii) low-level illumination at a wavelength that creates electron-hole pairs. Accurate measurements of both …


Most Probable Magnetohydrostatic Equilibria For Tokamaks And Reversed Field Pinches, John Joseph Ambrosiano Jan 1980

Most Probable Magnetohydrostatic Equilibria For Tokamaks And Reversed Field Pinches, John Joseph Ambrosiano

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The determination of magnetohydrostatic equilibria usually requires that two of the equilibrium functions be given. as there is usually no a priori basis for specifying the form of these two functions, the functions and the equilibria they determine may be considered random.;In this dissertation, the author reviews a recent statistical method for determining the equilibrium of an axially symmetric cylindrical plasma which is most probable (in the maximum entropy sense) given four global constraints (i.e., energy, magnetic helicity, longitudinal magnetic flux, and longitudinal current flux). Previous results from this model have been limited to non-negative random equilibrium functions (B(,z), J(,z), …
