The Ibis, journal of the British Ornithologists' Union : a pre-synthesis portrait

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution...

The chemistry of certain tetrahydropyrimidines

Creator:: Anderson, Donna Lee
Abstract:: Since many 1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidines have become available and commercially useful in recent years, a study of the chemistry of certain of these compounds has been undertaken. 2-Hydroxy- and 2-mercapto-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidine have been synthesized by the condensation of urea and thiourea, respectively, with 1, 3-propanediamine, with yields...

Stochastic simulation of sphere beds and the effect of packing density on the thermal conductivity of sphere pac nuclear fuels

Creator:: Henke, Robert K.
Abstract:: The establishment of any thermal model of reactor fuel requires a thorough understanding of the behavior of the thermal conductivity. This is especially true in the case of sphere pac fuels where the conductivity is a function of many variables beyond those normally affecting conventional fuels. One of these variables,...

Design, construction, and characterization of a prompt gamma activation analysis facility at the Oregon State University TRIGA® reactor

Creator:: Robinson, Joshua A.
Abstract:: In this work a prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) facility has been designed, built, and characterized at the Oregon State University TRIGA® reactor. PGNAA is a technique used to determine the presence and quantity of trace elements such as boron, hydrogen and carbon which are more difficult to detect...

Synthesis and testing of a novel soft donor organic extractant molecule for targeted soft metal extraction from aqueous phases

Creator:: Gullekson, Brian J.
Abstract:: Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) resultant from the generation of nuclear power is a chemically and radiologically diverse system which is advantageous to chemically process prior to geologic disposal. Hydrometallurgy is the primary technology for chemical processing for light water reactor spent fuels, where spent fuel is dissolved in an acid...

Modeling the thermal effects of fabricated fuel-to-cladding gap in fast reactor fuel

Creator:: Baker, Ronald Blair
Abstract:: This report presents a refined method for the calculation of fuel centerline temperatures and the linear-heat-rating-to-incipient melting, ' Q'[subscript m], of mixed-oxide fuel typical of that to be used in the Fast Flux Test Facility and in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. Of primary concern are the effects of the...

The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

Target fragmentation in the interaction of relativistic heavy ions and protons with ¹⁸¹Ta

Creator:: Oertel, Christopher Paul
Abstract:: The production cross sections for a number of target fragments formed by the reactions of 42- and 21- GeV²⁰ Ne and 28 GeV p with ¹⁸¹Ta have been measured. The target fragment radioactivities were measured by off-line gamma-ray spectroscopy. Details of the measurement as well as the calculation of the...

Decaying in Storage: The Closures of Three Nuclear Reactors in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Oney, Celia E.
Abstract:: People involved in a nuclear activity, whether they are developing it, benefiting from it, or opposing it, see inherent connections between various aspects of nuclear science and technology. This thesis investigates three nuclear sites: a university research reactor, a dual-purpose reactor that produced plutonium for the U.S. military and electricity...
