This thesis examines a range of generic influences in William Shakespeare's Richard II. By exploring the play's references to conflicting interpretations of history from different generic perspectives, I hope to advance a more nuanced reading of the play's dynamic staging of history. In Chapter One, I suggest that Richard II...
Novel fluidic devices that utilize an array of microchannels to achieve their designed purpose are discussed. Examples of devices include: fuel reforming using Microreactors, chip cooling using microchannel heat sinks, and microchannel devices used for biological applications. The devices that have directly contributed to this research include: a microchannel water...
The thermolysis of trans-1 -trimethylsiloxy- 1-vinylcyclotridec-
3-ene (VI-OTMS) led to the formation of two major products: 4-vinylcyclotridecanone
(VII) and cyclopentadec-5-en-l-one (VIII) after
hydrolysis. Ketone VII is produced by a concerted [3, 3] sigmatropic
shift, while ketone VIII is formed by a [1, 3] sigmatropic shift with
a concerted or diradical...
During the summer and fall of 1982, personnel from the Geophysics
Group in the School of Oceanography at Oregon State University conducted
an aeromagnetic survey in the northern Oregon Cascades to
assess geothermal potential and study the thermal evolution of the
Cascade volcanic arc.
Total field and low-pass filtered magnetic...
A free-air gravity anomaly map of the area between 10°-17°N and
90°-101°W shows distinctive positive and negative anomalies which
parallel the Tehuatepec Ridge. The positive anomaly approximately
overlies the topographic expression of the ridge. On the wide continental
shelf southeast of the Gulf of Tehuantepec a positive gravity
anomaly with...
Gravity, magnetic and seismic data indicate that the oceanic
crust is 9.7 km thick west of the Continental Borderland. The top
of the mantle is about 12 km deep under the Borderland, and deepens
to 27 km beneath the Peninsular Ranges of Baja California. The
mantle is about 20 km...
Gravity and magnetic data from cruises by the R/V Yaquina in 1973
and the R/V Wecoma in 1975 provide new data that make possible the construction of a map of the free-air gravity anomalies at sea and simple
Bouguer anomalies on lano in Panama, western Colombia, and the eastern
Panama...
In order to quantitatively examine the crustal structure of the
Panama Basin without the benefit of local seismic refraction data, the
following assumptions were made: (1) No significant lateral changes
in density take place below a depth of 50 km. (2) The densities of the
crustal layers are those of...
Both oxy-Cope and siloxy-Cope rearrangements involve
(1, 3) and (3, 3) sigrnatropic shifts. Both the concerted mechanism,
and the stepwise mechanism via a diradical intermediate are possible.
In a cyclic system such as cis-l-vinylcyclooct-3-en-l-ol, the thermal
rearrangement takes place preferably through a diradical intermediate.
At high temperature, the reaction also...
The "Teepee" type wood residue incinerator, similar to
many other sources, requires sampling at the point where the emissions enter the atmosphere. Because the location of the emission
point is hazardous and unpleasant for the operation of a sampling
probe, a portable, tilt-up column was developed which permitted installation, operation,...
