The development of a rail transport model and its use for the prediction of rail shipping costs for forest products in Oregon

Creator:

Boston, Kevin Donald

Abstract:

Transportation costs compose fifty to sixty percent of the total operating cost in the forest products industry. This paper develops a framework for incorporating rail transportation into a statewide multi-modal transportation planning model. It will allow for the analysis of various transportation scenarios that can possibly increase the efficiency of...

Investigations into the mechanism of the photodechlorination of pentachlorobenzene

Creator:

Schmidt, Robert Dean

Abstract:

Several experiments were undertaken to investigate the mechanism of photodechlorination of pentachlorobenzene. The thermal methoxydechlorination reaction of pentachlorobenzene was studied. In DMSO at 50 °C sodium methoxide reacts smoothly with pentachlorobenzene to give three tetrachloroanisole isomers. A second-order kinetic plot for this reaction is linear to high precision, indicating that...
