Temporary rivers are increasingly common freshwater ecosystems, but there have been no global syntheses of their community patterns. In this study, we examined the responses of aquatic invertebrate communities to flow intermittence in 14 rivers from multiple biogeographic regions covering a wide range of flow intermittence and spatial arrangements of...
To obtain data on the decomposition of the forest floor, a battery operated electrolytic respirometer was developed making it possible to measure CO₂ evolution from field moist forest floor samples in situ independent of root respiration. Banks of four respirometers powered by two 12-volt batteries were installed in three old...
Exposure to urban outdoor air pollution is ubiquitous and low birth weight represents an important health disparity in the United States. While previous research suggests that exposure to outdoor air pollutants are associated with term low birth weight, few studies have evaluated the effects of multipollutant outdoor air exposures or...
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,...
The oxidation of triethylamine by the two electron oxidant
thallium(III) chloride was studied and the results compared to those
when triethylamine is oxidized by copper(II) halides. This study
requires anhydrous conditions since in an aqueous system thallium(III)
chloride is extensively hydrolyzed and triethylamine causes
precipitation of thallium(III) oxide. Most of...
This research emphasized fundamental physical and electrochemical
studies of systems based on the room temperature fused salt, triethyl-ammonium
dichlorocuprate(I). Such systems, which must be maintained
under a protective atmosphere, were also used in some preliminary
battery studies.
Spectra of dark green solutions of copper (II) chloride in
triethylammonium dichlorocuprate(I) obey...
