The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to
traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the
innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete-
composite (WCC) construction instead of an all-wood design. The
WCC design consisted of a thin shell of...
Solubility studies on the heavy metal sulfides in liquid hydrogen
sulfide at room temperature were carried out using the isopiestic
method. The results were compared with earlier work and with a
theoretical result based on Raoult's Law. A relative order for the
solubilities of sulfur and the sulfides of tin,...
Literature has often misrepresented Natives and women. I involved Native Women in researching and
editing my novel to fairly and accurately represent them. in open-ended interviews they described their
experiences of nature, enjoyment, and discrimination as well as their critiques of the novel itself.
Descriptions were of discrimination as perceived...
An overall systems design code was developed to model
an advanced in-core thermionic energy conversion based
nuclear reactor system for space applications at power
levels of 10 to 50 kWe. The purpose of this work was to
provide the overall shell for the systems code and to also
provide the...
The ~5 km3, 4.54 to 4.09 Ma Caspana Ignimbrite of the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) of the Central Andes records the eruption of an andesite and two distinct rhyolitic magmas. It provides a unique opportunity to investigate the production of silicic magmas in a continental arc flare-up, where small volumes...
