Proposed Experimental Actions For Water Years 2005-2006 Colorado River, Arizona, In Glen Canyon National Recreation Area And Grand Canyon National Park, U.S. Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Reclamation, National Park Service, U.S. Geological Survey

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

In September 2002 the Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service (NPS), and U.S. Geological Survey released an environmental assessment (EA) on proposed experimental releases from Glen Canyon Dam and removal of non‐native fish from the Colorado River in Grand Canyon, Arizona (Bureau of Reclamation, NPS, and USGS 2002). The experiment was developed by the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (GCMRC), cooperating scientists, and the Technical Work Group (TWG) of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP). It was recommended to the Secretary of the Interior by the Adaptive Management Work Group (AMWG), a …

Nucleation Rates Of Water And Heavy Water Using Equations Of State, Abdalla Obeidat, Jin-Song Li, Gerald Wilemski

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The original formula of Gibbs for the reversible work of critical nucleus formation is evaluated in three approximate ways for ordinary and heavy water. The least approximate way employs an equation of state to evaluate the pressure difference between the new and old phases. This form of the theory yields a temperature dependence for the nucleation rate close to that observed experimentally. This is a substantial improvement over the most commonly used (and most approximate) form of classical theory.©2004 American Institute of Physics.

Relating Water And Otolith Chemistry In Chesapeake Bay, And Their Potential To Identify Essential Seagrass Habitats For Juveniles Of An Estuarine-Dependent Fish, Spotted Seatrout (Cynoscion Nebulosus), Emmanis Dorval

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

A quantitative understanding of habitat use of estuarine-dependent fishes is critical to the conservation of their most essential habitats. Because recruitment and fitness may be influenced by the quality of juvenile habitats, developing methods to quantify habitat-specific survivorship is pivotal to such understanding. An initial step to quantify survivorship is to validate the habitat-specific natural tags contained in otoliths. To this aim I investigated the variability in the chemistry of surface waters and otoliths of juvenile spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus, in five seagrass habitats of Chesapeake Bay, namely: Potomac, Rappahannock, York, Island, and Eastern Shore. I measured Mg, Ca, …

Determination Of Fluoride In Various Samples And Some Infusions Using A Fluoride Selective Electrode, Şeri̇fe Tokalioğlu, Şenol Kartal, Uğur Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The determination of fluoride in some environmental samples was performed using a fluoride ion-selective electrode. Fluoride concentrations were determined in drinking waters (from different provinces, districts and villages in Turkey), fruit juices, bottled water samples, toothpastes and tooth powders, liquors of Turkish coffee, coffee, linden, rose hip, and various brand tea infusions, and dust samples collected from the Erciyes University campus car park. The average fluoride concentration in 39 drinking waters was 0.21 mg L^{-1} (0.02--1.42 mg L^{-1}); the level of dissolved fluoride in the dust samples was 1.39 \pm 0.09 \mu g g^{-1}; the fluoride concentrations in liquors taken …

Photofragmentation Dynamics Of Core-Excited Water By Anion-Yield Spectroscopy, Wayne C. Stolte, M. M. Sant'anna, Gunnar Ohrwall, Maria Novella Piancastelli, I. Dominguez-Lopez, Dennis W. Lindle

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Research

Partial-anion and- cation yields from H₂O are presented for photon energies near the oxygen K edge. The O^- yield exhibits a feature above threshold attributed to doubly excited states, in contrast to the H^- and cation yields, which are nearly featureless above threshold. Additionally, the lack of the OH^- fragment indicates radiative decay and provides a negligible amount of anion formation.

An Eqcm Study Of Water Adsorption And Oxidation On Pt Electrodes In Sulfate Acid Sulotions, Heng Lin, Sheng-Pei Chen, Jin-Mei Lin, Ai-Lan Lin, Guo-Liang Chen

Journal of Electrochemistry

Simultaneous frequency and current responses during potential cycling of Pt electrode were measured in 0.1 mol·L^-1 H₂SO₄ solution by using EQCM. Quantitative analysis of the mass change revealed that the increase of mass in the hydrogen and double-layer regions in a positive-going potential scan was due to water adsorption on the Pt electrode, further calculation indicated that water molecules adsorbed on Pt electrode in the double-layer regions through a low discharge quomodo .The EQCM studies provided quantitative results of surface mass variation during water adsorption and oxidation,and have thrown new light in elucidating the structure of …
