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...
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...
As a result of the past three years of field studies and our interpretation of these and other data from the literature, we conclude that there are inputs of hydrothermal fluids into the bottom of Crater Lake. The dissolved materials associated with these thermally and chemically enriched fluids, coupled with...
