Abstract:: The electrochemistry of cadmium at a Reticulated Vitreous Carbon (RVC) electrode has been studied to determine the suitability of RVC as a working electrode for the electrochemical preconcentration of cadmium in the corrosive environment of zirconium dissolved in hydrofluoric acid. The electrochemistry in this investigation deals with deposition of solid...

Abstract:: The concentration of chlorophyll in natural bodies of water is commonly determined as a means to rapidly estimate the phytoplankton biomass. The literature gives numerous warnings, however, as to the problems involved with accurately determining chlorophyll concentrations. The author's work at Crater Lake, Oregon enticed him to explore critically the...

Creator:: Warrier, Ulhas S.
Abstract:: Avermectin Bia is a member of a class of medicinally important natural products known for its potent antiparasitic activity and interesting structural features. In this thesis, synthesis of a model for the spiroketal portion of the avermectins is presented. Oxidation of (S)-2-methylbutanol, followed by a stereoselective chromium mediated reaction with...

Abstract:: Due to its importance, the phenomenon of hydrogen bonding has been the subject of much research over the years. Among the different techniques used to study hydrogen bonded systems, vibrational spectroscopy is perhaps the most sensitive because of the striking changes induced in molecular spectra by the formation of hydrogen...

Abstract:: The thermal and anionic rearrangements of substituted 1-vinyltrans- cyclotridec-3-en-l-ol compounds have been studied to determine what effects substituents would have on the sigmatropic shift when placed on the two positions of the 1-vinyl group. For the thermal rearrangements, the a-substituted vinyl-trans-cyclotridecenols gave both the [3,3] and [1,3] shift products of...

Creator:: Lewis, Arnold Leroy
Abstract:: The temporal and spatial characteristics of the plume produced by a laser microprobe, are dependent upon the composition and pressure of the atmosphere surrounding it. It has been shown that certain atmospheres can enhance the analytical signal by increasing the free atom lifetime. Improvements were made to the existing laser...

Abstract:: An instrument was constructed to measure molecular fluorescence (FL) or chemiluminescence (CL) and absorbance (ABS) simultaneously. The lower, middle, and upper portions of the test solution are probed to obtain ABS, FL, and CL data. Optical fibers are used extensively. The ABS and FL or CL spectra are acquired in...
