This research was on the irreversible oxidation of trimethylamine by copper(II) chloride, which takes place at temperatures of about 75° and higher. The coordination of trimethylamine by copper(II) chloride, which is a preliminary reaction to the oxidation, was studied at 0°. The coordination of trimethylamine by the potential reduction product,...
Marine heat waves are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity under future climate scenarios, but little is known about the impact of these events on the one of the most commonly used proxies of ocean temperature - foraminiferal assemblages. This research explores the planktic foraminifera community along the Newport...
There is a critical lack of economic information in the area of chemical weed control. This paper is intended to stimulate study in this area. The objective is to develop a method of economic analysis of alternative herbicide practices. The data used were taken from a Druchamp winter wheat trial...
This thesis focuses on shared use lane facilities and road user understanding. Shared use lanes (sharrows) are a common solution for road facilities that are too narrow to accommodate a full bicycle lane and where the local jurisdiction wants to reduce dooring crashes. In recent years, engineers have focused on...
The minimal kernel for a network data base management
system is developed. It includes format specification for
the object schema and the data base file, and routines for
performing the basic network functions.
The object schema defines the relationship between the
schema, records, sets, and fields. It informs the system...
This research explores the viability and effectiveness of using an inertial navigation system (INS) to control a beamforming array of microstrip patch antennas with the aim of reducing users' exposure to electromagnetic radiation. The system reduces radiated power directed toward a cellular phone user to below 10% of the total...
Bicyclists are one of the highest and most vulnerable road users. This is due to the higher likelihood of being seriously injured when involved in a crash. This research seeks to understand two different behavioral interactions of an implemented facility user: the motorist (secondary user) and bicyclist (primary user). The...
